The Queen's Jubilee Has no Charms For
the Broollyns AIusicians.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard band, under
the leadership Of John Savasta, has been
ordered 10 the cruiser Brooklyn to attend
the queens jubilee. Several Of the bands
men have addressed a communication to
the secretary of the navy asking for their
discharge from the service on the ground
that the trip will be too great an expense.
II am q continuous service man and
entitled to remain at the navy yard" said
ono of the musicians, who has been in the
navy 40 years, "and although don't like
the idea of being sent to sea, l will so. l
am not one of the signers of the protest.
"We first class musicians are paid S32 a
month, and we enlist for year at time,
with the general understanding that we are
not to be sent away. Most of us are mar
ried, and, Of course, our pay could not keep
our families. We all live ashore and earn
money outside by playing. Some OF us
earn $40 and $50 q month In this way.
"Now, If we are to be sent away for six
weeks or two months, we will lose our
outside earnings and probably lose our
engagements on shore. That Is what is
meant by the objection against going to
England"
The band will go on board the Brook
lyn on juno /, and, it is believed, other
bandsmen will be enlisted to increase the
numerical strength of the organization.

A BRAND NEW TERN.


sYellov Servantoys Has Been offered n
an Addition to Legal Language.
Is II always interesting TO follow the
coinage Of new words, especially when
the definition saves the use Of many Other
words to cover their meaning
The latest In legal phraseOlogy has re-
Gently boen coined by Judge Brannon OF
the West Virginia supreme court Of ap.
peals 1t is the term "fellow servantcy, p"
and was used by the Judge in an opinion
rendered in an action for damages by an
employee against q railroad company.
In the course Of his opinion Judge Bran.
non referred to "this subject of fellow
servantcy. BY fellow seryantcy we mean
that where there are two servants OF
employees of q common master or EN-.
ployee, and one of them from the negli-
gent act Of the other receives injury, the
master Is not liable for the same, because
when q servant enters the service of q
master he assumes and runs the risk
and dangers incident to the service, and II
is unreasonable that he should call on the
master to make good to him all damages
that may befall him from the acts Of any
and of all fellow servants In the employ of
the master"
Fellow servantcy will no doubt find a

That was the only expression the pres
dent of the American Sugar Refining
company would make upon the result
Of his trial, which had been in progress
for three days, before Judge Bradley.
The verdict was the elimination Of
long legal battle. which began three
years ago when Mr.. Havemeyer de-
rlned, as q witness before the senate
sugar investigating committee, TO fur
nish the committee with data as to the
political contributions made by the COM
pany, of which he is president. to the
local and state campaigns Of 1892 and
1893.
Broker Chapman, around whom the
preliminary battle waged, was found
guilty and is now serving 30 days sem
tence in the district Jail.
The conclusion Of the trial was abrupt.
The defense produced no witnesses.
When the government rested its case.
the defense moved that the court in
struct the jury to order an acquittal on
six grounds. the principal one of which
was that the committee did not have
jurisdiction, and that the question
asked was not pertinent. The district
attorney made a valiant attempt to in
duce the presiding judge to overrule
an hour and a half to weigh the argu-
ments, sustained the motion.
In rendering his decision, which was
very lengthy. and consumed over an
hour In its delivery, Judge Bradley de-
.lned to rule on the main question as
to the jurisdiction OF the senate commit
tee. He said the questions involved in
that proposition were OF such grave i'm
,ortance that he would not rule on that
point without further and more careful
examination. But he held II was un-
necessary to rule on the main contention.
Practically he sustained the motion upon
The single ground that the question
calling for data as to state and local con-
tributions) demanded information not
within the knowledge of the witness,
which he had testified he had no personal
knowledge Of, and which. IL given at all,
must have been procured from books Of
the Sugar company, and of which the
books themselves were the best testi-
mony. Although the verdict of not
guilty was given by the jury it was a
verdict returned under the courts di-
tections, and amounted practically to
the judges throwing the case out of
court. Mr. Havemeyer's attorneys were
naturally much elated over their vic
iory.
This ends the case forever" said Mr..
Johnson of Philadelphia, Mr.. Have
movers chief counsel.
The case of John E. Searles, secretary
Of the Sugar trust, who was indicted with
Mr.. Havemeyer for recusancy, was
rallied today. District Attorney Davis
Is conducting this case for the govern
ment. He says that the cases are not
analogous, and that the Searles case
could not be dismissed on the same
ground, because Mr.. Searles declined to
answer questions Of which he presum-
ably had knowledge. But in the Searles
case 1t is probable that the main conten-
tion as to the jurisdiction and pertinency
will be raised. and that Judge Bradley
will be compelled to rule upon II. as he
announced he would, when II was raised
as the direct issue

THE P0RTE'S REPLY.
o. Soon as Greece Signs Armistice Peace
Negotiations Will Begin.

Constantinople, May 2S.-The porte has
replied to the note Of the powers, and
consents to negotiations for peace, pro-
vided the Greek commanders first sign
an armistice. AS soon as this is done
the government will negotiate as to the
peace conditions with the ambassadors,
and the treaty will be signed by the
Turkish and Hellenic plenipotentiaries
In Thessaly.
The attitude Of the grand vizier is the
subject of much comment. He was re-
garded as merely the obedient instrument
Of the sultan, but he now shows unex-
pected vigor as an advocate Of an ex-
acting policy towards Greece.
The reply Of the porte, delivered yes
terday evening, confirms the report that
1t would not discuss the condition Of
peace.
The immediate encourage Of the sultan
fsvors restoring Thessaly to Greece.
The Turkish foreign minister has spoken
on the subject in a conciliatory tone to
Baron di Calice the Austro- Hungarian
ambassador, asking only a little delay in
order that public excitement may sub
side.
On the other hand, the whole official
and religious world, including Sheikh-
Ul-Islam, denounces the idea Of restor-
alton, while every military measure
points to retention. Even those who
supposed that the sultan was manu-
featuring the excitement in order to
exact better terms from the powers are
beginning to think he has gone too far
and lost control of the situation.
Russia does not conceal her extreme
irritation at the German policy, which
is SO openly and persistently directed
against Russia that many Turks ac-
cuse Germany of deliberately plotting to
produce a rupture between the two
countries.
The Turkish government has given
orders for the forwarding of 80 battalions
from Syria, for service on the Servian
and Bulgarian frontiers, and six
transports sailed yesterday under sealed
orders
