HART CASE AGAIN.
ATTORNEY = GENERAL M'KENNA
MAY BE ARRAYED AGAINST SEN
ATOR GRAY IN THE SUIT.

ATTORNEY GENERAL MKENNA
MAY BE ARRAYED AGAINST SEN
ATOR GRAY IN THE SUIT.
Philadelphia, Oct. 5.-John d. Hart's
appeal from his conviction in the
United States District Court for filibus-
tering is expected to be heard this al
ternoon. The argument on the appeal
is to be an important one, as the entire
question of law as to filibustering and
the facts of the Hart case are to be dis
cussed by counsel.
In addition to Hart's counsel, w. w.
Ker and John F. Lewis and Horatio
Rubens, of New York, who represents
the Cuban Junta, the defendant has re-
tanned Hon. George Gray, United States
senator from Delaware, to argue the
case. Senator Gray has felt warm in
terest in the Cuban question, as many
of his speeches on the floor of the Sen
ate showed, and it is believed that he
will make a strong argument TO save
Hart. Senator Grays brief. which has
been filed with the clerk of the court,
shows that his main contention Will be
that if all the facts proved by the gov
ernment in the Hart case are assumed
to be true there is, nevertheless, no vio-
lation of law The senator's printed
brief covers forty-five pages. The
friends Of Hart rely with great conf
dence upon the oral argument with
which he will supplement his brief
1t is not known whether Attorney
General McKenna will argue the case
for the government. In cases OF inter-
national Importance, such as this one
it is not unusual for the attOrney-gen-
eral or his chief assistant to take part
in arguments in the local courts. If he
is not present United States District
Attorney Beck will represent the gov
| ernment.
1t is probable that Judges Dallas
Acheson, Kirkpatrick and Bradford vii
hear the case, and it is possible tha
! Justice Shiras will also be on the bench
The case will most likely not b'
reached before tomorrow afternoon oi
Thursday. United States District At
torney Beck was yesterday preparing
his brief for the government.

DIG MONEY IN BAsRRALL.

Al the close of the National League
baseball season II is learned that the big
money makers were the Boston and
New York clubs. II is believed that the
Boston Club cleared nearly 100000 in
spite Of the fact that the South End
grounds are the smallest in the League.
The new champions drew larger crowds
on the road than any other team, and
the attendance at home was phenome-
nal. The New York Club. in spite Of
its 100000 expenses had a profitable
season. It has been stated that the club
made $4,000, but this is regarded as
excessive.

FOR LAURADA'S RELEASE.
FAMOUS FILIBUsTER STEAMER
S. TO AGAIN CARRY FRUIT FROM
THE WEST INDIES.


THE WEST INDIES.
Probably by tomorrow the famous
fruit steamer Laurada will be commits
stoned to trade between the port of
Philadelphia and the West Indies,
where for many years she had been en-
gagged. Since her arrival from Port
Antonio, Jamaica, last April she has
been detained at Wilmington by the
United States government for an al
legged violation of the shipping laws. 1t
was also claimed by the government
that the Laurada had been engaged in
carrying arms and ammunition to the
coast of Cuba. Lately the government
realized that there were not sufficient
grounds to sustain this charge and II
was dismissed.
The government officials at Whining
ton advertised the Laurada for sale, but
when the matter was submitted TO the
Treasury Department at Washington
an opinion was rendered that such a
proceeding would probably not be G
thoroughly legal one under the condi-
tions. No one answered the suit in the
court against the Laurada and the gov
ernment was at sea as to her actual
ownershop, so the suit against her was
postponed.
On her last voyage to Port Antonio
she was in command ofCaptain Hughes
who left her when she reached the
Breakwater and has not been seer
since The movement to secure her To
lease is headed by John Bailey, Tho
manufacturer, of No. $40 South Della
ware avenue, Philadelphia, who will
provide the necessary security until th'
government disposes Of the case agains
