He says he can produce positive proof that

Then he turns his attention to the police
authorities and complains bitterly of the
fact that they will allow no one TO visit

A PRETTY QUARREL SPOILED.
The Graham-Young Controversy at
the Preside OuaShed.

The imminent rumble of heavy artillery
and threatened unloosing of the blood
thirsty dogs of war at the Presidio were all
for naught. The great controversy be-
tween Colonel Graham and Lieutenant
Colonel Young has ended in smoke.
Yesterday the following dispatch was
received from Washington:
The controversy between Colonel Graham
and Lieutenant Colonel Young, both stationed
at The Preside, has bern settled by the action
Of Assistant Secretary Doe, who refuses 10 au-
thorZe a court-martIal or even court OF in-
Quiry.
This disposes of the matter for the time
being. Lieutenant Colonel Young COM
planned of General Graham's discourtesy,
and General Graham came back with
charges of Incitng TO mutlny and being
guilty of acts contrary to the articles OF
war; Specific details of both charges

Instances were cited of the commanding
officers cast-ir0u tendency 10 earn the

THE LITERARY CONGRESS.
1t Closed Last Night With Paper by
e COnte.

The Congress of Literature closed last
night A fair audience listened to the pa
per by Professor C. B. Bradley of the Uni
versity of California on The Relation OF
the Novel to Other Forms of Art"
Professor Joseph LIE Conte followed
with a most interesting paper on ''Art."
He pointed out that the real artist sought
the ideal. The nude human form was at
once the most difficult and noble in delinea-
tion. In nature the nude is unbearabe,
but in art the sculptor or painter by the
purity and simplicity of his work elevates
the spectator and eliminates tue seusuous
and brutal. In the drama The repression
of emotion is not so necessary in the actor
of to-day as it was in ancient Greece.
Emotion was subdued then. and but little
attempt was made at Illusion. Yet there
is more of the human in the modern dra-
matist. and Shakespeare's plays are supe-
rior because of their higher ideal to those

The witness said she was aware thather

Truly used to come to The house. The
friendship had been going on for some
time. During the week Immediately pre-
ceding her sons death the witness knew
of three letters coming for Harry from the
Shattucks. The first letter she noticed
arrived OF Thursday evening, January 4.
Harry was at home when it arrived. He
read he letter and then went out. The
witness identified this letter, which was
read in court, as follows:

greatly worried over this intimacy be-
tween her daughter and Poole, and was
constantly inquiring of one and the othe;
when they intended TO marry.
But, as / said, Harry Poole had no in

Mrs. Shattuck found it out. and in her

In conclusion Mr.. Lennon said he would
expect a verdict of acQuittal.

said Peixotto, whether you claim that
Mrs. Shattuck is insane now. For. if so,
we had better postpone this trial until q

that. She is sane enough now. But she

This concluded the direct examination of

The cross-examination of Mrs. New
lands, which took up half the afternoon,
was long and tedious. The witness
proved rather IetulaDt under fire, and At
tOrney Lennon had rough time of it for
a while. However, he succeeded in elicit
ing the fact that Harry Poole spoke con-
tinually TO his mother of Truly Shattuck,
and described her as nuisance"
