COnyentiOn-IaXat1
The Fredericksburg Free Lance prints
the following. interview with State-Sena-
tor Henry T. Wickham:
Do you approve of the Walton law?
Should IL be amended; and, IL SO. how?
Answer: l am In favor Of such amend
ments TO the Walton law as Will satisfy
the people that the voter may cast his
vote for the candidate OF his choice and
have IL counted for such candidate; but
such action should be taken inside OF
the Democratic party-the party cannot
divide.
Are YOU In favor Of calling a constitu-
tional convention; or do you prefer that
the Legislature should pass suitable
amendments. submitting them for APP
prevail to the peoplef
Answer: 1 have seen no evidence OF
any general demand for constitutional
convention as yet. Ii the people, through
their nominating conventions. desire il,
they will let 1t be known. and l unques-
tionably win carry out the will OF the
people In that respect. So far as 1 am
personally concerned. l do not see any
Urgent necessity for holding a, constitu-
t,onal convention Immediately. The ex-
peuse would be great. and the result 10
he accomplished would depend very much
upon the temper OF the men sent as dele
gates to the convention.
From an elective standpoint the fran
chise can be fully protected by amend
ing the Walton law
From q financial standpoint. can say

CAPTAIN HEALY'S CASE
Charges Against the Bars Com
mander Have Been Filed.
There Is n Deep-Seated Opposition TO
Him Among Officers Who Have
Served With Him.

Tue serious charges against Capt. NJ.
A Healy, commanding the revenue cutter
Bear, have been filed in the Treasury De-
partmcUt.
The Bear was flagship of the Boring
sea patrol fleet last summer. Twenty-Five
Officers are understood TO have signed a
paper setting forth the nature of the
charges against Capt. Hcaly.
Among the signers are Chief Engineer E.
l.. SwartZ, First. Lieut.. George E. Me
Council, First Lieut.. Worth L. Ross, Chief
Engineer George X. Daily, and others
equally wen known in the service.
While Tie charges against Captain Hcaly
are general rainier than speciiIc, II is an
open secret in reHcnut-sutter circles that
there is a deeI-scaIcd opposition to the
captain among those " no have served with
him, ana the opinion prevails that the
Officers " no have signed the paper VIII
" illingly give fun particulars concern
ing Captain Hcaly's alleged misconduct.
There are eight counts in the complaint.
AT the outset the statement is made that
Capt. Healy conducted himself On the last
cruise of the Bear in a manner calculated
to bring dsIredit on the service. He is
said to nave placed one of his subordinates
under arrest and thea ordered that no record
of the action be made IN the official log
book.
Another charge is that, i'll violation of the
regulations Of the service, Capt. Heaiy re-
lieved the navigating officer OF the Bear
and placed another officer in that position.
The substitute must have given offcnse TO
the captain, for he, too was relieved before
the cruise ended, and still another officer
was ordered 10 navigate the Bear.
The language and manner OF Capt. Healy
in his intercourse with his officers is the
basis of a count in the general indictment.
What the officers who have signed the
paper evidently regard as one of the most
serious of the offenses charged against the
captain is that, on the quarter deck of the
cutter Grant, he told another officer that
he did not onSidecr a second eng ineer rs a
fit person to introduce that officer to him
(Healy).
Capt. Heaiy was on board the British
warshIp Pheasant on the night Of SeE-
TENDER l6, and, according To- the officers
who now oppose him, he ordered an officer
not under his immediate command to get
ont of his cabin under pain Of arrest" In
view OF the fact that this interesting incl
dent is said to have occurred ON n foreign
vessel, it is likely that Secretary Carlisle

KILLED IN A BEAR FARM.
Fire Burned Keepers House and the
Bears Killed the Owner.


Sandstone, Mimi, Nov. 4.-The bear and
deer farm recently started near Kerrick, a
small station on the Great Northern road
midway between this city and Superior,
Wis, was wiped out by fire yesterday.
Frank ShanIo, hali-breed, W hom James
Allen, the proprietor of the farm, employed,
brought the news here. Allen is dead, the
deer and bears are free, and the pens are in
ashes. Shanto is badly burned, the result
of trying to. rescue Allen, who was killed
by the bears.
The fire originated in the log cabin ac-
cupied by Allen and Shanto. When the
fire started in the cabin, which adioined
the pen, the bears became wild. In max
ing his escape from the burning house A lien
was forced TO pass through the pen. No
sooner had he appeared in the enclosure than
he was attacked by the bears. The rifles
were in the burning building and could
not be reached. The instant one of them
struck Allen down the other eight bears
made rush for him. ShantO jumped into
the pen, but too late to save Allen. He
killed two of the bears, and in making his
own escape W as burned about the head and
arms.
DR.. II. G. Harrison, of New York. fur.
nished the capital for starting of the farm.
1t was proposed to raise bears md deer
for the market. The farm covered about
five acres Of ground.
