by one of the inspectors as an Incompetent
and disgraceful man?"
''He did nothing of the kind"
Mr. Golf continued to question the in
spector as to the disorderly houses. The
inspector admitted 1t was his duty to dis
cover and suppress them.
This ended the examination of Inspector
Williams, and Lonis Streep, green-goods
operator, was called. The witness created
a sensation by telling story involving
Anthony Comstock.

Brethal called and gave my wife $4,000 in
bills. The bail was, at the time, $4,000, but
was shortly afterward reduced to $4,000.
In August, 1890, called ON Comstock with
my brother, who told me that the State
indictment would be dismissed on pay
ment of $1,000. Comstock said: Mind,
the $1,000 is not in the shape of bribe.

AT this instant, 5:45 P. NJ, the Chinese

all of the forts, the shells striking the
water all around the Baltimore and ex-
DlodDg. The balance of the torpedo boats
hid themselves from view in the dense
smoke from the BaltimOre's smokes tacks.
The Chinese forts continued firing, one

Baltimore. Another passed between our
two smokestacks. a third passed over our
starboard bow. very low and so close that

The forts ceased firing at 6:l2 p NJ, three
minutes after we began TO steam out. The
forts shelled the torpedo-boats period of
twenty-seven minutes. but did not succeed
in hitting them so far as we could see.
'All this time the Baltimore was in the
very center of the Japanese feet of tor

vation of the forts the Chinese were an
abled to fire az the torpedo-boats over our
heads. though 1t would have been impossi-

OF the shells as they sped over and past

of the big siege guns upon the hills, and
the resoundlng reports echoing through
the hills and mountains, the splash and
the explosion when the shells struck the
water, the phosphorus in the water leaving
the spot luminous for some seconds after,
and the t0rpedo-boats darting swiftly
around US combined to form an interes,-

''You swore before recess there were no
panel-houses in the precinct"
Yes; to the best of my recollection"
Senator O'Connor then entered on long
legal argument with Mr.. Golf as to whether
the inspector was guilty of perjury. The
Senator said he was not. unless the testi-
mony was given with false and corrupt
intention.
Mr.. Golf said the Inspector might have
been mistaken.
YES" said the witness. 81 admit that
what swore to this morning was false,
but when Igave it bel eyed it to be true. %
'Might there not have been more than
one pane-house in the district ?"
''Yes; do you know what panel-house

This question by Williams created
laughter. ana Mr.. Goff lectured him about
giving his testimony in a more becoming
manner.
