CLOSING HOURS IN THE SENATE.
Morgan Disapproves Adjournment as He
Thinks the War About Ended.

-
Thinks the War About Ended.
Washington, July 9.-In a manner so
simple as to be almost perfunctory the
senate at 2:06 o'clock yesterday after
noon adjourned without day. None Of
the dramatic, exciting scenes unusually
attendant upon the adjournment of
congress was enacted during the clos
ing hours of the senate's session It
had been agreed when the senate con-
vened at noon that the house resolution
providing for the adjournment of con-
gress at 2 p. m, should be adopted. and
that an executive session should BE- held
to confirm the nominations in the mill
tary and naval establishments. No 9TH
er business except of the merest routine
nature was to be transacted. The ar
rangement was carried out to the let
ter.
Morgan opposed the proposed ad-
journment. maintaining that it would
be far more desirable for congress to
take a recess until the first Monday in
September. Morgan said: There is alb
solutely no necessity for an adjourn
ment at this time. 1t is hasty, IMPROVE
dent and dangerous step. 1t seems to
me that the war with Spain is drawing
to e conclusion. The ending of the war
will bring to congress questions of the
highest Importance, of the gravest con-
sequences in our history. 1 should not
be satisfied to go away in the circum-
stances, leaving the president without
support. We Go not know what emer-
gencies confront us, what dangers lie
just ahead"
In response to question by Allen as
to whether it was not likely that peace
negotiations, in view of the dispatches
published yesterday morning, might not
require the attention of congress soon,
Morgan said the suggestion was correct
and apt. THE very moment" said he.
that the treaty of peace is signed by
the president and the government of
Spain the military power of the presi-
dent will cease and thelegislative branch
of the government must provide gov
eminent for any territory we may ac-
quire by the war. The power of con-
eress comes Immediately into effect and
we ought to be here to exercise it,
But the senate was bent on adjourn
ment and after an executive session adj
journment sine die was declared by the
vice president

Hooper went into the house and got
a Winchester rife. The two met sub
sequently in the yard and, according
to a witness, Casey threatened to brain

THE FRENCHMEN OF ASIA.

be considerably astonished were they to

accused of insanity, and an elder broth
err They went Immediately to the office
of Attorney James w. Cochrane, who
was retained to take charge of Ho-
bart's side OF the case with Attorney E.
J. McCutcheon, and a secret conference
was held.
Later Attorneys McCutcheon and
Hall McAllister, who was expected to
give important evidence; Captain Cal
lundan and Detective Cleary made
their appearance.
At o'clock a room adjoining the Su-
perior Court room at the Courthouse
was crowded with a large number OF
the curious In anticipation of spicy pro-
ceedings, as it was rumored that Attor-
ney Ashe meant to fight the case. DR..
w. ]. Wickman and DR.. w. II. Jones
were present to make the medical ex-
animation.
Garrett was brought in and took his
seat by Ashe, quietly awaiting develop
ments. His father and brother paced
nervously up and down the corridors
and held several quiet discussions with
their friends.
Shortly after Ashes sensational
charges a conference was held between
McCutcheon, Ashe and the District At
torney. Ashe spoke excitedly and
threatened to put the newspapers on"
to something. The District Attorney
advised against this but finally an
agreement was reached and word was
sent to DR.. Wickman.
The physician then arose and stated
that no charges would be preferred
against Garnett, and accordingly moth
ing was to be done. Everybody was
surprised and walked out, eagerly
questioning the reason of the sudden
change. Garrett was released on his
own recognizance and left for home
with his relatives.
The reason given to the public for the
dismissal of proceedings was that Gar
nett's father and brother had promised
to place him in a private asylum.
Ashe refused to state his proofs, but
said it could be demonstrated that
Morse's men tired of waiting for Gar
nett to come to San Rafael and tele-
phoned to him that a lady wished
to see him while he was at the home
of Jerome A. Lincoln. 1t is known that
Detective Cleary has waited around the
broad gauge depot for Garnett for over
a week. He denies that Garrett was
lured to San Rafael.
The letters sent to the ladies by the
alleged insane man could not be seen
The picture he sent to Walter Hobart
in which Hobart was represented as
cutting his head off with a broadax
was cleverly executed and shows Gar

because he had written number Of love

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE second step
in the prosecution of one of the most
unique suits ever brought in an Amer
lean court, the suit for $4,000 damages
against the officials of the Roman
Catholic church for publishing the ma
jor rite of accommodation against
former priest Of their faith, Father An
thony Kozlowski of the All Saints In
dependent Polish Catholic Church, has
been taken in the Circuit Court in the
filing of the declaration containing the
itemized complaint of the independent
prelate.
The document sets up in it's opening
lines that the plaintiff of his own Volt
ton formally severed all connection with
the Roman Catholic church on May 4,
1897. at which time the independent
parish of all Saints was organized.
The specific charge against the Arch
bishop and Cardinal Ledochowski, who
were made defendants in the action, is
that, knowing their power to influence
the people over whom they had ecclesi-
astical jurisdiction, with intent TO In
jure the plaintiff, they caused letter
to be read in all the pulpits of the do
cese forbidding all true members OF the
Roman Catholic church from asSocia-
ton in the slightest degree with the
plaintiff under main of being them
selves placed under the ban of the
church.
Father Kozlowski asserts that
through this letter which was read as
directed on July 3, 1898, he has been put
to great inconvenience and has suffered
financial loss through the lessening of
his receipts in parish collections and
has been prevented from making adj
yantageous commercial transactions
through the distrust engendered by the
publication of the letter.
In addition to his financial losses the
Iitigant priest declares that he has sus-
tanned great injuries through the dam

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Oct ia Chicago
special to the Herald says: Swedish
Journals which have just arrived from
Stockholm claim to have positive in
formation that Walter Wellman, the
American explorer. has found traces OF
Andree in Franz Josef Land.
They assert without qualification that
Captain Ernst Andree, brother of the
polar aeronaut, has letter from Eve
lyn Baldwin, second in command Of the
Wellman expedition. The letter is
dated at Cape Tegethoff, August Z. Mr..
Baldwin is made TO say that the mem
bers of the expedition landing at this
point ran upon a deserted camp evil
IDENTIFY occupied only recently by Eu-
ropeans. There were fresh footprints
in the snow, but no message or letter
had been left among the remnants OF
the camp.
The last known vessel to have
touched this point was one Of an Aus
trian expedition of twenty-five years
ago.

fish journals say Mr.. Baldwin wrote

The confidence Of the Stockholm pa
pers in the message that the tracks
might have been those Of Andree and
his men is helped out by the claims Of
Swedish scientists that this is about
where Andree ought to have been at
that time. Baron Nordenskjold said re-
garding it:
The traces found by the Wellman
expedition are undoubtedly from An
dree and his companions. If tn bal
loon has crossed the pole it has landed

tinent. AS to the message not having
