John Andersen Must suffer the Death
Penalty.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE United
States Supreme Court to-day affirmed the
Judgment Of the lower court and denied
writ of habeds corpus to John Andersen
convicted and sentenced TO be hanged af-
ter a trial in Norfolk, Va, for the murder
of the mate Of the Olive Pecker.
CHEF Justice Fuller, in announcing The
decision held that Andersen had not heen
denied a constitutional right in not having
counsel of his own choice at the trial. The
court adjourned for two weeks, and when
it reassembles will announce the bank
ruptcy rule.
The Andersen case has attracted wide
spread attention, being sea tragedy or
singular atrocity. The schooner Owe
Pecker sailed from Boston laden with
lumber for a point on the River Platte,
Brazil When 100 miles off the coast OF
Brazil. Andersen, a swede had an alter
cation with the captain. When the atter
retired 10 the cabin, Andersen followed
and shot the captain dead. Then he armed
himself heavily and went on deck, where,
mounted on the forecastle, he terrorzed
all on board. The mate, who was aloft
was called down. and while pleading for
his life was shot four times The crew
were ordered to throw the dying mate
overheard and on protesting that
he was not dead, were as
sured that he was dead enough" This
done. the crew were marched below at the
point of q pistol and ordered 20 throw the
caDtaln overheard Then Andersen direct
ed that oil be thrown over the lumber, ar
ter which the oil-soaked ship was set atire,
and the murderous crew took 10 the boats.
Andersen was apprehended at Bahia, Bra
III. and sent north on the United states
gunboat Lancaster. He was tried and con-
yioted In the United States court at Nor
folk, Va, and a stubborn fight wes made
up 20 the Supreme Court, the conviction
being confirmed
The last move was in the present appii-
cation for writ of habeas corpus on me
ground that Andersens constitutional
rights were evaded when the lower court
assigned him counsel instead OF giving MN
counsel Of his own choice
Chief Justice Fuller, in announcing the
courts opinion. said the record OF the
case showed that no fundamental right
had been denied Andersen, but that he had
been represented from first to last by able
counsel The time when counsel was not
present was at preliminary hearing of
Andersen, but this was not used In the sub
seuuent trial The decision OF the lower
court WAS Affirmed, ~
The effect OF this will be TO have the ex-
ecution, which had been stayed until Dec.
0, next, carried out.

NO REVISION OF TARIFF.

MIR. DingIcy Denies Recent state
ments TO the Contrary.
Washington, Nov 1sA-TAe washington
Post vii. say tomorrow that the war tax
will not be abolished at the coming short
session of Congress, and that there viii be
no revision of tariff whatever. It bases
this announcement on the positive state
ment made to-day by Chairman Dingley
of the ways ana means committee, who, in
an interview, said:
"The government will need for some time
all the revenue produced by the war taxes.
During the month OF October the war ex-
pendtures exceeded the war revenue by
some $14,C00000, and this month they will
be $1,000 coo in excess. There win be no
changes a least this fiscal year The
war revenue act will continue In force and
unchanged, except perhaps, in a few min
or administrative features, for at least a
year longer
1T is hardly necessary to add" conin-
ued MIR. Dingiey, that there viii be no re-
vision of the tariff, although / have seen
some statements to the effect thar sucn a
revision is contemplated.
The session IS limited to three months"
continued Mr.. Dingley, "and that short
period will be mainly occupied In passing
the appropriation bills. in enacting new
laws. IN deciding upon the legislation neces-
sary for the government Of Hawaii In ad-
Gition to these important questions, the
usual number Of routine matters will arise
From the present outlook the session VIII
be well under way Before the treaty Of
peace with Spain will be laid before the
Senate, and the ratification Of that docu-
ment may not be accomplished long before
March 4 arrives"
"Wtn thai necessitate an extra session."
1T is, Of couce impossible" SAID Mr.
Dingey, "to know what VIII arise between
Dec / and March 4, but so far as the
present outlook cen form a basis for judg-
ment, l should say that no extra session
will be necessary or desirable, unless some
new question should arise.
"For my part added Mr.. Dingley. "I
hope thai The territory 10 be odded will
be no larger than is absolutely necessary
I realize that in some cases Il may be
easter 10 hold than It viii be to .et CO.
but at the same time ! hope that the
treaty. when il is presented TO the Sem
ale. win provide for the acquisition Of a
minimum amount of territory."

FUEL COMPANIES FAIL.
Their Trouble began With the 1897
Strike in Ohio.

Cincinnati, Nov 1.-THE Turney and
Jones Coal Company of Columbus, o., and
the Pennsylvania and Ohio Fuel Company
of ST. Paul, with Offices also in Chicago,
were to-day by the Federal Court, put in
TO the hands Of the Security and Title
Company of Chicago as receivers.
The companies were among the largest
that ever operated in the Ohio coal fields.
The troubles commenced in the summer of
1897 with the great coal strike.
The liabilities amount to $1,2O0,OO0. The
officers cf the company claim they will
pay the liabilities in full if the assets are
carefully handled. The two companies
were owned by the same parties-mostly
by H. D. Turney Of Columbus and John
S. Jones of Chicago-and had to stand or
fall together. The mines of these compa-
nies furnished about one-half of the coal
tonnage for the Columbus, Sandusky and
Hooking Railroad and the future of that
property depends very largely on what is
done by the newly appointed receivers of
these coal companies.

Gen. Engan Files His Report with
the Secretary of War.

Washington. Nov. H-The report of
Charles p. Eagan. commissary of subsis-
tenee of the army, has been submitted to
the Secretary Of War. Il shows an ex-
pendture of s6,oos,7l5, with a balance of
$40 222, $50 to the credit Of the bureau. After
detailing conditions of the commlssary de-
pariment and its organization for the war
with Spain. Gen. Eagan comes to the San
tiago campaign. of which he says
"A very serious freight blockade at and
in the neighborhood of Tampa in May and
June. 1898, which caused by the celer-
ity with which the troops and their sup
plies were concentrated at that place IN
preDartion for the invasion of the island
of Cuba This blockade was a matter Of
grave concern 10 the subsistence depart
ment, and it was only after the most per-
emptory orders of the commissary general
of subsistence 10 unload The cars and to
hire warehouses if necessary that the off,
GERS of the department on the spot were
enabled, with untiagging zeai and untiring
energy, 10 relieve che pressure so as to
permit the taking Of ratious sufficient to
last the command of 5000 enlisted men
for four months and the sending on June
26, q and rs of further supplies"
After giving IN detall what supplies were
sent 10 Cuba Gen Eagan says: 1T will
thus be seen that all due diligence was
used by the commissary general of subsis
tence in placing subsistence stores within
reach of the troops operating against San
uago. Upon landing Ia Cuba these stores
of the expedition were subject TO The or
ders of the general commanding who was
in paramount control of the military oper-
ations in that quarter"
After quoting a number of official orders
the general says: ut is evident from the
foregoing statements that the supplies of
subsistence shipped for the use Of the
army in Cuba having been al all times in
excess of immediate needs Besides being
available for our own troops, they afforded
relief TO the Cuban army and TO the desH-
tute population which abandoned the city
Of Santiago when preparations for its de-
strucion had been made. The official re-
turns from Cuba showing in detail the is-
sues made TO these several classes of per-
sons and others contempla ted by law, have
not yet been received, and there is not IN
this office any information throwing light
on the subject of the provisioning of the
transports which brought the army back
10 Montauk Point further than there was
an abundance Of subsistence stores In San
tiago and vicinity"
