MATES WERE NOT GUILTY
But Captain Was-Decision in the Horsa
Cuban Expedition Case.

Washington, May 25.-The Supreme
Court of the United States today in an
opinion read by Chief Justice Fuller,
decided the cases of Wiborg ct al VS.. the
United States, involving the Horsa
Cuban expedition, affirming the ludg-
ment Of the district court for Pennsyl-
vania. sentencing Capt. Wiborg to i'm
prisonment and fine for engaging In
the expedition, reversing it as to Peter
sen and Jonsen, mates Of the vessel. The
Chief Justice said that the arms and
men carried by the Horsa constituted a
military expedition within the mean
ing of the neutrality laws. The indiyid-
uals constituting the body need not be
armed to come within the intent Of the
law. Although the statue was penal
one, said the justice, it was to receive
reasonable construction, the same as that
given other statutes governing domestic
affairs. All the elements of o military
expedition were present on the Horsa.
The Chief Justice said that the evidence
did not tend to show that the mates
had such knowledge of the errand OF
the Horsa at the time the vessel left
Philadelphia as to warrant Judgment
against them. 1t WAS reversed with in
structions to give them q new trial. Mr..
Justice Harlan dissented from the jud g.
ment as to tho defendant.

Why ouax Went to Ohio.

Philadelphia, May 25.-"Quay went
to Canton to bring about a reconciliation
between McKinIey and Platt." This Is
the opinion of Quay's visit to Mckinley
and personal friend Of the Pennsylvania
leader. The opinion is based upon what
he learned in Washington last weeR in
the company of the Senator on the eve
of the latter's departure for Canton.
This lieutenant of Quay Is positive that
the Senator did IoG visit the Major te
sue for recognition in the event Of Nc
Kinley's election. 1t is because Quay
is solioitous about the vote Of New YorR
for the Republican nominee, my inform
ans says, that he is so desirous of having
Mckinley plaoate Platt. He is fearful
that if Pfatt cannot be induced to ear
nestly and vigorously manage or assume
in managing the campaign i'll the En-
pire state it will be very difficult for tht
Republicans to carry it.

Outsider Elected Captain Of Bidde.
ford's Militia Company.
SOME CLEVER POLITICAL MOVES
ON PART OF HIS FRIENDS.
Sergt. Jeffreys Withdraws Upon the
Promise of Being Made lieutenant
But Gets the Minor ONCE Only by
Single Vote.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

Biddeford, May 25.-"Politios is poll
TICS" in military matters as well as in
municipal and state affairs An exem-
plifcation of military politics was wit
messed at tonight's election Of the Bidde-
ford Light Infantry.
There has been great amount of
electioneering going on ever since Captain
Timothy Elliott and Second Lieutenant
Charles @. Scammon seut in their resig-
nations to regimental headq quarters %
fortnight ago. 1t was supposed at first
that the choice of captain would be be-
and Second Sergeant L. EvereBt holt,
but few days ago the latter officer came
out with the Rnnouncem that he did
not aspire to either the captainoy or the
lieutenant vacancy.
But Sergeant Holt's announcement did
not give Sergeant Jeffrey q oinch on the
| object Of his ambition. Last Saturday
word was passed around that some of the
| members of the company were looking
outside for captain, and that Erwin S.
Gowen, friend Of Col. L. 81. Kendall
was likely to get all the votes that
Sergeant jeffrey could not command.
Consequently, warm contest was ex-
pected at tonight's election, but the
visitors wer disappointed.
Within ten minutes of the time set for
the contest, Sergeant jeffrey accepted
the invitation to withdraw from the con-
test, the understanding being that the
Gowen strength should be turned over to
him for the office of second lieutenant.
All the thirty nine votes cast were for
Gowen, with the single exception of the
ballot cast by Sergeant Jeffrey's brother,
who refused to recognize the deal.
The vote for second lieutenant was a
very close rub for Sergeant Jeffrey, he
having but a single ballot to spare over
the vote of his rival, Sergeant Thomas j..
Mutually. The latter moved "to make it
unanimous" after the vote was declared,
but was informed by the presiding
officer, Col. Kendall, that no such entry
could go down on the company records,
though it was a graceful act OIL the part
of the defeated candidate.
Captain Erwin S.Gowen, the new COM
mander of the company, is about forty
years of age, and is proprietor of black
smith shop on Washington street. He
has fine physique, and will make a
stately officer, though he may have to
brush up little in military tactics, his
experience in that line being limited to
corv{oo in tho drill couad Of Grand Can
ton Dearborn, Patriarchs Militant.
Lieutenant Jefrey's praises have been
loudly sung by his hackers In the com.
pany, some of whom are now complain
ing that the boys have established poor
precedent by going outside the company
to find captain. None of them, how
ever, has had anything to say against the
personal popularity OF prospective fitness
of the newly elected captain.
