WATCHING THE WAR.

Secretary Herbert Answers Criticism
Made by Naval Omcers.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.- Secretary
Herbert's attention has been called to
criticisms by certain naval officers upon
his failure to detail q naval attache to
watch the China-Js span war. He
has given the following interview for
publication:
"What is the policy Of the navy de-
partment in regard to the sending of
naval officers on board Chinese and
Japanese vessels to ascertain the status
OF the war and make observation which
would be OF benefit to the department ?"
There is on board each ship in
Asiatic waters an officer designated as
intelligence officer, and the admiral
commanding the fleet was weeks age
and recently urged to be diligent in COL
lect:ng information that would be oi
use to the department.. Admiral Car
penter was instructed to guard Ameri-
can interests and ply along the line o.
the military operations. He will be in
Q position to observe, and he has beer
directed to detail officers, il necessary
for this purpose, and send them ON such
missions to obtain information and as
certain, when practicable, the nature
and extent of injuries received by ships
in battle. He was not instructed to de-
tail officers TO 60 on board Chinese OIL
Japanese ships and to go into battle
and it is supposed that if an Officer
should ask his permission to do SO, be
would refuse the request. as Adnira
Brown did when an officer OF bis fee

BOTH ON THE STAGE AT SANTA
ANA.
The Lights Wont Out but the Flow of
Oratory Went on just the
Same-Rousing Demo-
cratic Rally.

Special to the HERALD.
SANTA ANA, Sept. 27.-Ths Budd
meeting here tonight was held in the
opera house. 1000 people being in at
tendance, making one OF the largest
audiences that has gathered here in
many campaigns.
The hall was beautifully decorated.
An old.fashioned blackboard was con.
apiouous object on the stage.
A. b. Scar borough was chairman, and
ehort addresses were made by w. w.
Phillips and Hon. William Jeter.
MIR. Budd was then introduced, and
began by referring to the great obliga-
tion he was under to the public schools
OF the state.
On coming to Santa Ana, as elsewhere
in the state, he had met many old
friends and echoolmates. He was glad
to shake them by the hand in remem-
brsnce OF the days of auld lang syne.
He then took up the fallacious charge
made By the Republican speakers, that
the business depression of the past year
was due to the Democratic tariff bill.
The real issue before the people was
state taxation and bosssm. One OF the
tDnt-ou
books was the probate laar, and he would
consider it as one OF the proudest acts
of his life if, as governor, he can bring
about q radical reform in the law.
Referring to the large number OF
ladies in the hall, he said: Zone of the
committee Just now told me that there
are more ladies than men in this hall.
am glad OF it, for one good woman can
influence 10 voters. am glad the
women are with u.s."
Referring to his attitude regarding
insane asylums he said: "It is claimed
that favor reducing the number OF our
insane aeylums. Far be it from my
wishes to reduce their number or to cut
off any OF the necessities of the state
health. But what ! do oppose 10 the
extravaganza OF the conduct of the state
Institutions. Far be it from me to re-
duce their number. With the hun.
dreds of wrecked lives and ruined
homes caused by the grinding railroad
monopoly and the extravaganza OF state
taxation. it is impossible not to feel ths
greatest sy mpatby for the suffering anC
the afflicted"

who shipped carload of oranges to Sal

ton to the proceeds of the fruit for rail

what the railroads are doing for tn,

At this juncture the electric lights il
the hall went out. but Budd continued
to speak, and closed with ecathing ar
raignment OF Dan Burns and bossism.
The meeting adjourned with thre
rousing cheers, for Mr.. Budd and th
whole ticket.

emergency existed and that immediate
action was necessary. He asked to be
allowed an opportunity to express his
ideas on 'this conspiracy" referring to
the charges brought against him.
Messrs. Hascall and Williams were
also ON the stand during the day. Has
call was closely questioned regarding
tine institution of the impeachment
proceedings.
Councilman Charles E. Bruner de-
clared that he could not remember
whether he had been requested to Sign
the impeachment articles or not. He
could recollect nothing, he said. about
the electric lights.
Attorney Clarkson insisted that it
was the duty of the mayor to enforce
the laws and ordinances, and that he
had no right TO Get himself up against
the wishes of the anti-vice-crusnders.

to Mr.. Clarkson, urging that thsre had
been no attempt to show corrupt mo-
tives, and that the managers of the i'm
