orally concluded that our blue Jackets
made an appearance equal to that of
those of any nation and that the British
marines made the finest show of any of
the marines. Gov. Flower stood near
Mayor Gilroy during the review. On
either side was a long line of visiting ad-
mlrals and officers from the foreign ships
and our own navy.
MADE HIT ALL AROUND.
The Massachusetts naval reserves and
our own marine militia made a decided
hit. The precision of their marching,
their trim uniform and their attention to
business drew the attention of every one.
Inc British officers remarked on the Hp-
pearance of our national guard As the
Iwenty-second and the Seventh regi-
ments went by with their straight lines
ana clock-ltke movement there were eX-
carnations of surprise One of the
officers said that his party was much
pleased at the show which our men made
At l 80 o'clock the last of the column
passed, and the adnirals and officers of
the visiting fleets entered their car
fldgcS and We're driven to the Waldorf
where they were the guests of
the city at luncheon. Gov. Flower and
Mayor Gilroy and a delegation of city
ohlclals and members of the entertain
ment committee were present Although
the programme called for q reception at
the mayors Office in the city hall, it was
abandoned by general consent, probably
on account of the lateness of the hour
when the parade passed that point.
THE BANQUET.
The chamber of commerce banquet to-
night put an appropriate Capsheaf on the
festivities incident to the naval review
Among the invited guests present were
thR RTltlCh E1pnraph Tpr1euiara oil >,
Argentine admirals, three American ad-
mirals, the commanders Of the German
and Dutch vessels and the captains and
flag Geutenants of all the vessels in the
Heet. These were essentially guests of
honor. Other guests of distinction were
Secretary of the Navy Norbert, the gov
ernOrs of New York and Illinois, the mayor
of New York and the members of the for
eign legations. The British and French
ambassadors and Italian minister sent re-
grets, as also did the Earl Of Aberdeen,
who had been expected to be present.
The banquet was held in the main dining
room Of the Hotel Waldorf, fronting on
Fifth avenue. Covers were laid for about
400. When it is mentioned that the price
set for the dinner was $25 a plate it will
readily be understood that the dinner
was worthy of the occasion. Nothing
was attempted in the way of
decorations, but there was a most
artistic arrangement of choice flowers
and of the festOoned flags of all the ma
tions represented Nevertheless the scene
was a brilliant one. The oratory was
short, pointed and witty Alexander e.
Orr, first president of the chamber of
commerce, presided, and most of the
prominent members of the chamber were
present. International fraternity was
the burden of the speeches.

CABLES sLAYERs.
The Theories of the Prosecution and
the Defense.

Jn6 O5AenSos
Athens, Ga, April 2S-All Of the evil
dence in the Beusse and Briggs case has
been submitted The evidence for the
state goes to show that there had been a
difficulty between Cadle and Briggs on
the day previous to the killing, and that
there was conspiracy between Briggs
and his two brothers-in-law to assault
Cadle when he returned with his train i:
that they were at the depot when Cadle
returned, and that Briggs demanded Of
him an apology for his conduct on the
previous day; that Cadle refused to make
one, saying that he had done nothing
to apologize for, Whcreupon the two
Beusse boys dealt him several blows on
the head, one using a stick and the other
something supposed to be brass knucks,
the result Of which was death.
The theory of the defense is that there
was no conspiracy and that the Beusse
boys went TO the depot to settle the diff
Guilty amicably between Cadle and Briggs,
but that when Cadlc was asked for an
apology he became enraged and put his
hand in his hip pocket as if to draw a
pistol, whereupon Allie Bcusse struck
him several blows with his fist, knocking
him down, and that as he fell
his head struck the sharp edge of the
door facing. which caused his death.
The statements of the defendants were
written and their version of the difficulty
conceded in all of the material points.
The argument will begin tomorrow at
o'clock, Col Charlie Hill and r. B. Rus
sell appearing for the state, and w. b.
Barnett and George G. Thomas for the
defense
