Capt. Dickman. He said the vessel lay off
Liberty Island, and after Col. Nunez, Gen.
Ruiz, Cuban pilot and a Capt. Morton
had come on board. the Laurada proceeded
to Montauk Point. Witness told of the eff
forts to get ashore there and of Capt
Dickman's refusal. Witness also gave evil
dence corroborative of that given by Quinn
as to the arrival of lighters, the loading of
arms, the landing at Cuba, the throwing
overheard of some arms and ammunition
etc. Under cross examination this witness
said he had told the story of his voyage on
the Laurada to the Spanish consul who
had sent him to a lawyer on William
street. Witness had also told the story to
Assistant District Attorney Hinman This
completed his testimony,
The next witness, John Holme, sea-
man on board the Laurada, corroborated
the testimony of preceding witnesses
about the Laurada carrying arms, men,
etc, and landing them in Cuba.
The witness admitted under cross-ex-
animation that he expected to get money
from the Pinkertons, and that he had al
ready received about $50 from them, He
also acknowledged that he had a grudge
against the owners of the Laurada and
wanted to get even with them.

will gain anything by the final success
Of the motion to adjourn is doubtful.
They claim that they will, while
the other side claim that the
adjournment was agreed to because all
hands were tired out, and as long as the
h1busterng was persisted in, 1t was use
less to attempt to go on. At the outset
It appeared that there was combina-
ton between Judge Gober and
Judge Andrew Cobb, by which
each supported the other. In
dependent of this, however, there was a
very strong sentiment against Judge Co
Der in particular, the sole object of which
seemed to be to cause his defeat. When
Judge Cobb developed greater strength
than Judge Gober, the friends of the lat
Ter bestirred themselves to prevent him
from being nominated, as they realized
tnat If North Georgian was chosen,
south Georgia would naturally claim the
otAer man, in the person probably of
Judge Fish. If Judge Gober could have
oeen nominated first, his friends would
nave been willing to support Judge Cobb.
Out they We're not willing that Judge Cobb
snould go in first, and thus the trouble
arose. Judge Cobb's friends insisted that

that Judge Gober wanted to go in first.
as lhe situation appears tonight, it seems
mat Judge Cobb or Judge Gober will be
ehosen tomorrow with the third man
from South Georgia, Judge Fish or Judge
sampson Harris. Judge Cobb gained
steadily from the start, while Judge Co.

DEPUTIES DOOM DREYFUs.
The Chamber Votes Against Reopen
ing Hts Case.

Paris, Nov. 1S-In the Chamber Of
Deputies to-day President Brisson gave
the floor to Gen. Billot, minister of war,
when the proposed Interpolation Of M.
Castelin, republican revislonist, in regard
to the conviction of Capt. Dreyfus, the
French military officer, who was degrad-
ed and sentenced to life Imprisonment
for betraying military secrets to Ger
many was called in its order.
Gen. Billot read a short statement de-
claring that the question was an extreme
ly grave one, the interests of justice and
the country being at stake. The court
martial, which had tried and sentenced
Capt. Dreyfus, had been regularly con-
stituted and, after an exhaustive exam
ination of the case, had been unanimous
in pronouncng judgment against him,
Later. the council of revision had given
complete consideration to the case and
had unanimously rejected Capt. Dreyfus'
appeal from the Judgment of the court
martial and nobody had right to re-
open the case.
Every precaution had been taken to
prevent the escape of Capt. Dreyfus from
the Isle de Bue on the coast of French
Guiana, where he is confined. He con-
cluded by appealing to the patriotism Of
the chamber not to debate the question.
(Applause.)
M. Castelin persisted In the discussion
of his motion amid murmurs of dissent
and demanded the prosecution of the au-
thors of the campaign in favor of Capt
Dreyfus' release, who, he said, had spread
broadcast the most Infamous stories of
Capt. Dreyfus having been the victim OF
a plot.
Finally the chamber ALMOST unanimous
ly voted confidence In the government,
and expressed the conviction that the
government would search for the persons
responsible for any revelations in regard
to the condemnation of Capt. Dreyfus If
there should be any occasion to do so.
The government only accepted the order
of the day in consideration of the addi-
ton of the last words of the resolution.
They had previously insisted upon the or
der of the day pure and simple, which
the chamber was dlsposed 10 vote.

Bathing the baby is one of the joys of
young motherhood. The mere sight and
touch of the soft, sweet, cooling, growing
little creature Is a solace for many sorrows.
This happiness Is missed if either mother
or child be sickly, weak, nervous, cross.
If either Is so, it is the mothers fault. She
has failed to keep herself well and strong
during the period of CESSATION, and the
neglect shows in her baby.
All the peculiar ills of womankind are

he could not name the number of repre-

G. r. Scott, who has obtained more or

course on the bench, presided.
Rosenbloom was subjected to a severe
fire of cross questioning, but answered
correctly as to the manner of electing

quirements of n foreign citizen desiring

sentatives Nebraska has in congress,
but when asked so name the number of
representatives each state has in con.
gress he was stumped. He offered to
name some of them, but this was not
satisfactory to the court.
Becoming somewhat indignant, Mr..
Rosenbloom exclaimed II am only
a plain business man, your honor. and
do not have time to study up all these
questions
THAT does not make any difference

J. Marsh # the Cape Anne Savings
bank. and rhe discovery that probably
500. 900 i'll trust funds of the Gilbert
estate and the Gilbert Home, were miss
ing, is first in the minds of Gloucester
people. The bank treasurer was known
to almost every business man in the
city and has Mt different times had deal
ings with many of them. The Cape
Anne bank opened its doors for business,
contrary to eNpectatlors. There was no
run, though a number = eople who had
bank books appeared Don after the
doors were opened and asked to with
draw their deposits. The requests were
granted in all cases where the accounts
are less than $50. Upon all deposits
above this amount the bank officials
will exact 60 days notice of withdraw.
ais provided by law.
The general opinion of business men
here is that the bank will be able to
continue. An examination of trust
funds and securities held by the bank
is being made at Boston. The securi-
ties are deposited with the Union Safe
Deposit company in that city, and the
bank commissioners have determined
to go to the vaults and look them over
carefully. The exact condition of the
bank cannot be announced until after
this work is completed.
