AMERICANS LIFE At STAKE.
A Former Judge in Alabama Convicted Of
Murder In CoIombIa-The Trial . Farce.

. WASHINGTON, Aug. l2.-The United States
Consul at Mede!lin, Colombia, reports TO the
State Department that the trial OF Charles Rad
ford, m American citizen. was terminated on
July 5 by q verdict OF guilty OF murder. Sem
tence OF death was pronounced on the 9Th. and
an appeal was taken Immediately to the highest
local tribunal. Radford was q Judge OF an
Alabama court before he went to Colombia to
engage in farming. He was arrested several
years ago on the charge OF killing q man.
Through the efforts OF ex-Secretary Herbert
action on his case was deferred during the
Cleveland ADMINISTRATION. Mr.. Olney and Mr..
Herbert worked hard to secure his release. but
the Colombian authorities were obdurate. The
Consul says that the sentence Is regarded, an
iniQuitous. and that hopes are entertained, that
be taken to the Supreme Court at Bogota-
After his sentence Radfo-d was placed In
heavy irons. by order OF the Alcaldc, and other
wise treated in q cruel manner. The Consul
protested to tho Governor OF tho provinces
against such needless cruelty, and was told that
he was powerless to interfere with the Aicalde's
orders. The Consul then, telegraphed the
appeal TO the Government to secure better treat
ment for the prisoner.
In his report on the case the Consul says that
the trial Judge said he did not expect the YER
dict oven by the jury. and that surprise and
Indignation are expressed by those who were
present at the trial. The jury was composed or
three very young men, who. according TO tho
cannot be challenged in Columbia. Five names
are drawn by lot, one is struck out by the prose-
cutting attorney, one by counsel for the defence.
and the remaining three constitute tho jury.

THE STATE NAVAL RESERFEs.
Criticisms or the boards or Omcer1 who In.
speeted the DrllIs and Work ut SEQ.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE reports from
boards Of officers inspecting the drills and work
OF the various State naval reserves this summer
are being received at the Navy Department,
and in most instances severe structures are
cast upon tho organizations for their appa.
rent desire to make q good showing as in
fantry and on dress parade rather than in
becoming familiar with the duties required
Of them in war time. Serious defects in
tho present methods OF exercising tho re-
serves on warships in the summer are pointed
out. and some radical changes recommended.
There is too great a tendency. the boards all
agree. on the part Of the reserves to compete In
their performance of tactics with the regular
navy and the state guards. and a decided
change Is urged II the reserves are to become
important adjuActS to the naval establishment
In time OF war.
the Pennsylvania militia finds very little to
commend in the organization and a great deal
to condemn. 1t reDukes the State officials for
insisting that two days OF the seven devoted to
work with the warship he given up to ceremo-
mons parade work for the amusement of the
Governor and his party. and, finds that out Of
supposed to assist In educating the men only
six hours all told were given each man OF the
organization for practical work on the vessel.
Only two officers OF Pennsylvania militia. the
reports say. can read a chart correctly. and few
know the handling OF the lead line or can box
the compass.
setts reserves is reported excellent. These men.
the board reports, would be valuable TO the ser
vice in cooperating with vessels for the protec-
ton OF Boston in war time. and at least three
duties Of pilots. Massachusetts is said to have
the best organization on the coast. with the ex-
c~eptIon possibly OF New York. The report on
the New York reserves has not yet been received
at the depaptment.

"Thec cotton crop promises to be large, and tho

Providence. r. l., Aug. 1.-THE resignation
Q, President Andrews Of Brown University was
tho subject Of considerable after-dinner discus
sicn Mt the Pomham Club this afternoon. The
occasion was the visit of q delegation from the
Massachusetts Club and friends to the house of
the Pomham Club. and the subject was intro
duced by ex-Gov. William Clafin. the President
of the Massachusetts organization. The list Of
speakers included ex-senator Jonathan Chace,
Senator George F. Hoar, Congressman Adm b.
Capron. and ex-Gov. George $. Boutwell,.
Senator Hoar referring to President Andrews
said:
II wish to put on record my emphatic opinion.
President or professor has as much right to eX-
press his opinion on a question affecting the
community as any man In the country. Not
only has he the privilege. but the community
has the right to know what he thinks. The pub
lie should know what the scholars think Of what
is going on.
but 1 think trustees in the colleges have q
right TO express their opinion of men and things.
7 can't see what the trustees OF Brown hayo
done that there should be all this powwow in
the Springfield Republican and other Mngwnmp
papers. The trustees have not closed President
Andrews up. l can't see that they have asked
him to resign. They have simply asked
him to consult with them whether the
field he occupies is consistent with the
interests of the college. II We can approach q
man who is stating his honest opinion on a qucs-
who is doing what he can to put up a dollar
worth AZ cents. I don't see why we cant indulge
the trustees in the discussion of the policy to be
pursued by the college,
