The Brutal Officer Lies In Jail at Port Towns
end With Plenty Of Witnesses to
Testify Against Him

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, May "a.
The case of the United States vs. Will
lam Smith, first mate of the ship Ben
jamin Sewall, now in the Aarbor, came
up before United States Commissioner
James $. Swan last night. The defend
ant is charged with naltreating Sailor
William Mau, in consequence OF which
Mau jumped overheard and was drown
ed. According to the testimony of the
ship Sewalls sailors who We're called
to the. stand for the prosecution, the
treatment received at the hands of the
mate by Mau was most inhuman. Their
testimony in regard to circumstances
on which tis particular charge is based
is essentially as follows:
On the 9th day of January, 1896, at 4
o'clock a. m., while the vessel was on
the high sea bound from Port Towns
end to Shanghai, the mate came on deck
to take his watch and saw Mau with his
coat on, it being extremely cold. The
mate blurted out to Mau: You Dutch
-, take that coat off; I'm the only
one allowed to wear a coat on this ship
The sailor started to obey, but was not
quick enough in his movements to suit
the mate, who grabbed a Delaying pin
and hit him three or four times, then
struck him blow in the face with his
fist, making his eyes black and blue,
then took a capstan bar and knocked the
man down. He then ordered the poor
fellow to dance and sing, saying that
he guessed he would make it warm
enough before he got through with him
The mate told Jones, colored seaman,
to hunt up all the colthing he could
find and put it on Mau, and when Jones
had obeyed the fellow was arrayed with
two sou'westers and cap, three coats
and three pairs of trousers. Fearing
that this was not enough Smith order
ed that piece of canvas be tied about
No Hl,@
fortunate seaman, stepping to the side
OF the ship, jumped overheard The
mate was then informed of what had
happened and ordered a boat lowered.
but no trace of Mau could be found.
After hearing the testimony. Commits
sioner Swan bound Smith over in the
sum of $4,000, and in default of which he
languishes in the county jail Wit
nesses for the prosecution, ten seamen
in all, are also held in the county Jail.

tcularly interesting developments have
come to light today in connection with
the story of Rev. Francis Hermans and
the two missing girls, Henrietta Clausen
and Annie SamUelsOn, referred to in the

CHICAGO, May A.The Rev. Francis
Hermans of Salt Lake, who is accused
of the murder of his housekeeper. Hem
rietta C]ausen, In September, 1895, was
in this city three weeks ago. Among
those who saw him was the Rev. Mr..

said he had been making trip through
the east collecting money for a new
church in Salt Lake. When he had been
in the city few days he received tele-
gram calling him to Salt Lake. In re-
ply to an inquiry sent by friend of Her
mans, Presiding Elder Mock telegraphed
the following preemptory order:
He must come back; he must obey"
He then, it is supposed, returned home,
while he had his mail sent to the Metho-

WASHINGTON, May 24-The house
fs rapidly clearing the decks for final

nkely TO consume a large portion of
the time of the house this week. as they
did last. In the last days of a session
little indulgence Is given members and
by the operation Of the rules in matters
OF nigh privilege like conference re-
ports, questions can be brought to a
vote at the will of the leaders. The gem

1slat1on which becomes louder as the
session draws to a close, promises to be
entirely checked at this session by the
action of Mr.. KEN, Populist, of Nebras-
ka, If he persists in his threat. He de-
manded the regular order" at every
opportunity last week, and threatens
to continue to do so to the end of his
congressional career unless the speaker
recognizes him to move the massage
OF a Dill TO grant an abandoned military
reservation to his state. If he carries
out his program, he will relieve Speaker

The Murray VS.. Elliott case, from South
Carolina, and the Mitchell VS.. Walsh

NAVAL EFFICIENCY.
The prospects of the passage of a gene
eral reorganization bill for the increased
efficiency of the naval service has
greatly improved during the past week.
for the subcommittee on rank will re-
port on tuesday next perfected meas
ure to the house naval affairs commit
tee. Progressive increase in the corps
of naval engineers has been recon-
mended and this increase will be Sc
cured from the various archaeological
schools of the country as we'll as from
the naval academy.
The bill proposed by Mr.. Wilson of
New York has been made the basis of
the general measure. The rights of
the staff to official recognition are recog-
nized. Remedial legislation is given the
line of the navy by making it possible
for officers to secure command of the
ships at an early age. A regular flow
of promotion is aprovided for in the upper
grades of the line.
The promise of this bill gives promise
of forever settling the line and staff
quarrel which has been carried on for
the past forty years. The surgeons
and the paymasters have been given
substantial relief, while warrant rank
has been accorded the apothecaries.
