other business as may properly before the
caucus. issued to-day by Representative Gros-
venor, of Ohio chairman of the Caucus Committee.
The caucus will lack the element OF interest which
usually attaches TO such gatherings; So far as

mated without opposition II was reported several
weeks ago that the Illinois delegation would pre-
sent a candidate for Sergeant at Arms In opposi-
ton TO Mr., Russell, but the purpose seems to have
been abandoned. There has been no suggestion OF

The Gazette" adds. have no reason to be
alarmed at the suggestion OF 2 RESTORATION of the
American merchant marine. Mr.. Mckinley comes
from an inland State, and can hardly be regarded
as an authority on the subject"
THE Times" says: 1T Is Obvious that the prom
inence given TO the protection Idea In It's most un-
compromising form must put an end to the active
cooperation that existed between the main body
Of Republicans and the Free Traders when they
united in fghtng Organism. The Jingoes have had

A number of inquiries were received mere To-
day regarding tho report that the Spanish au-
thorities had released the captured filibustering
schooner Competitor and her crew. and that the
vessel had been sunk by Spanish warship after
leaving the harbOr. There is not the slightest
foundation for the report. visit To the navy
yard would have revealed the fact that the Com
petitor is lying at the anchorage in which she
was placed after being brough; here nearly a
year ago The men who were captured on her
are still in the Cahanas fortress. and as far as
can be learned from the close mouthed officials
there has been no change in their condition since
they were tried and sentenced to death.

NER's JURY EXPECTED.


MAN-ACTIoN BY TIE CoRo-
NER's JURY EXPECTED.
An autopsy was performed yesterday the body
| of William Brewer. the young awning maker who
was beaten over the head with a billiard cue In
the saloon at Lexington-ave. and Ninety sixih-st.
on Friday night week ago and died In the Har-
lern Hospital Thursday last. II showed that
Brewer had received fracture at the base Of the
skull and two other fractures Of the skull, and
also that one Of his ribs was broken. The autopsy
also showed why Brewer was unable TO speak when
he was taken to the hospital. and even the young
doctors who stuck pins In his flesh when he was
dying because they thought he was shamming in
scnsbility. were convinced at last that they had
been istaken.
In the light OF the autopsy Coroncrs jury MAJ
find cause 10 condemn unsparingy the action or
the young doctors In infcting needless suffering
on a dying man because of a wholly unjust ana
needless suspicion which had found Judgment In
their own colossal brains. DIR. Opdyke the hous,
surgeon OF the hospital, admitted yesterday tha'
he had not discovered symptoms OF fracture OF
the skull when Brewer brought TO the hos
pital.. and that he had thought the patient was
shamming inability to speak. For that reason the
pins were stuck into him to ascertain II he had
any sensation of pain. The admission that ply
scians who cannot tell when a patients skull is
fractured I'm several places are allowed TO have
be amazing to some people in this city. 1t is eX-
pected that the inquiry into the death Of Brewer
by the Cororer's jury will include an investigation
10 ascertain II Brewer not allowed TO de Of
his injuries without proper hospital treatment.
DR.. Oplyke will have finished Two years Of service
in the hospital June 1 nex, when he will be sue
ceeded by DR.. Tate. who has served IN the hospital
since December !. 1880 DR.. Taylor has been con-
nected with the hospital since June I. 1896 and DR..
Hobbey appointed ambulance surgeon De-
ccmber l. ls96 Tie ages Of the members of the stan
range from twenty-five 10 twenty-eght years. and
their experience since ma,ricuaion has been
mostly gained IN the hospital.
George ". Johnson and Robert Schroeder, who
were arrested on suspicion of being concerned In
the assault upon Brewer. were arraigned in the
Harlem Court yesterday, and were held without
bail to await an examination. Henry Walsh. who
also under arrest was seized with sudden III
ness, and handed over to the tender mcrcies
of the doctors OF the Harlem Hospital. where he
remained yesterday The three prisoners have de-
