SENATOR MoRRsLL TO RESIGN.
He VIII Probably Retire from Public
Life Next Mouth.

Life Next Month.
Burlington, VT, Sept. 26.-United
States Senator Morrill, is said to medi-
taing resigning at the coming session
of the Vermont legislature, which will
meet about the second week in October,
and the question of his successor is
already being discussed.
There is an unwritten law in the
state, which has never been departed
from in the last fifty years, that one
United States senator shall come from
the east side of the state and the 9TH
er from the west side.
The mountain range which divides
the state pretty nearly in the middle
is the dividing line. Senator Morrill,
is from the east side, and two candi-
dates to succeed im-Representative
Grout and Ex-Governor Dillingham;
have already developed in this section.
Several candidates on the west side
are also being talked of, but the state
is so committed to the precedent of
selecting one senator from each side of
the state that it is believed it will new
er depart from it.
Justin 5. Morrill, was born at STRAIT
ford, VT, on April IA, 1910. Without
seeking a nomination, in 1854 he was
unanimously named for Congress, and
on December 8, 1855, began his long ca
reer in Congress.
He continued an active member of
the House until his election to the SEN
ate in 1867, and has been elected to
succeed himself at the expiration OF
each of his terms. He enjoys the dis
tinction of having served continuously
in Congress for a greater length of
time than any other man in the history
of the country.

Denver, Col, Sept. 27.-Tbe court
martial convened for the trial of Chan
lain Joseph p. Mcintyre of the battle
ship Oregon met here at l O'Clock YES
terday afternoon. 1t was ushered in
with a sensation.
Instead or the calling or witnesses tn
inaugurate the trial, as is customary.
Attorney Earl M. Cranston, attorney
for the accused, made an address to the
court
Although the text of that address is
unknown, the doors being closed. those
who are best qualified to Judge of such
matters assert that it is a practical
admission of the charges and specif-
cations and a proposition to submit
to the court the expert testimony of
Drs. Eskridge and Pershing.
These two physicians are SPECIALISTS
in nervous disorders. They made an
examination of Chaplain MCINTYRE on
Saturday. This was done at the in
stance of friends of Mcintyre, who
think that by reason of great mental
excitement resulting from his expert
ence in the Santiago campaign he was
not responsible for utterances he NAV
have made in his lecture delivered here
on August s.
The object sought in trying to have
the testimony of these specialists sub
mitted would obviously be to waive
trial and throw the chaplain on the
mercy of the court.
The charges against Chaplain McIn-
tyre are three: Scandalous conduct
tending to the destruction of good NOR
a n ha e
order and discipline, and conduct I'M
becoming an officer of the United States
navy.
The specifications are ten in number
and comprise quotations from a news
paper report of the lecture which the
chaplain delivered in the Trinity Meth
odist Episcopal church here on August
8, and in which he is alleged to have
questioned the honesty of Admiral
Sampson and the courage of Captain
Robley D. Evans.
