icism of Sampson and Evans.

chaplain OFeUtfc0 w TN savage Crtt-
ictsm of Sampson and Evans.
Washington, Sept. 5.-Ever since the re-
ports of the sensational utterances of the
Naval Chaplain Joseph Z. Mcintyre,
reached the navy department, the officials
have been making a quiet inquiry into the
accuracy OF the newspaper publications.
The chaplain, who was attached to the
Oregon and was on board when the battle
of July was fought, was accredited with
some savage criticism of Admiral Samp-
son, Capt. Evans and various others of
the officers of the American fleet, insist
ing that to the officers and men of the ore
gon alone belonged the victory achieved
over the Spanish squadron.
He was particularly severe on Capt. Rob
ley d. Evans, who he charged with cow
ardice.
Apparently the navy department has now
satisfied itself that the chaplain really ut
tered the language ascribcd to him. for 1t
has ordered his trial by court martial on
charges preiudicial 10 good order and dis
cipline and unbecolning an officer.
The chaplain Is now on leave of absence
in Denver.

Of office Oct. 2S, 1895.
After long conferences with the minister
of the interior, NJ Brsson, and the min
lister of justice, NJ. SarIien, Gen. Zurlin-
den was interviewed by a newspaper re-
porter The general said that the minister
of justice asked for the Dreyfus dOssier.
When these were given him, he added, he
would study the documents carefully and
inform himself thoroughly regarding the
case before discussing il with the cabinet
The crisis in the cabinet is not yet re-
garded as definitely settled.
Both NJ. Brisson and NJ. Cavaignac are
believed to be playing for the presidency
of the republic. and it is thought NJ. Bris-
son is growing jealous of NJ. Cavaignac's
increasing popularity.
There is a rumor tonight that Gen.
Zurlnden, the new minister for war, Will
advocate a mere annulling of the Dreyfus
Judgment and sentence as a safer way out
of the imbrogHo than a retrial involving
all sorts of awkward revelations.

CYRENE IN A COLLISION.

A British steamer Crashes Into Her
at Hampton Roads.
Newport News, Sept. 5.--The converted
yacht CyTene, after colhding with a Brit
ish steamer in Hampton Roads this after
noon, was beached near the Hygeia Hotel
to prevent her from laundering. The
yacht was steaming off from one Of her
coliers in Hampton Roads, from which
she had been taking coal, when she had
got into the track of the British steam
ship.
The crew of the yacht. apparently. did
not see the merchantmen, and the sail
ors on the latter vessel thought the
yacht would get out of the way. A large
hole was crashed in the yachts hall. 1t
was seen that she would soon sink and
the commander gave orders 10 beach her.
The members OF the crew were taken
off by boats from other naval vessels in
the roads.

Two From Ribbons

the Minneapolis Times on the St. Paul
Albany match says: IAN examina-
ton of the records shows that both Albany
and ST. Paul made the same, opening leads in
thirtyave of the forty-eight deals. In four
deals the same suits were opened. but with
different cards. In only nine deals the
opening leads from different suits. Neither
side gained any advantage by the different
opening leads Conventionally the games of
Albany and st Paul differ very little. Albany
leads the ten and ST. Paul the queen from
queen, Jack. ten suit. From king, jack, ten
suit Albany leads fourth best, while st. Paul
leads ten. St. Paul often leads the top. of
nothing while Albany leads the fourth best
In trumps Albany echoes with three trurnps
upon the lead of an ace, queen or jack. St
Paul occasionally does the same. Albany al
ways calls when holding five trumps, a play
which ST. Paul players think in the long run
result disastrously. The play. cost Albany
nothing and gained very little for them. Al
bany called the first lead. with this hold
ing trumps, nine eight seven, six, three
long suit, five cards to the, jack. They use the
high card call the eight or a higher card.
echoed in opponents suit on two occasions,
when they had only two small cards of the
suit. Apparently the play is an echo declar-
ing more of that suit. With the exception
of few minor points, the games of both
teams the same.
Now, as Albany did not gain by different
line of opening leads, nor by different sys-
tenn, it must follow that they played bet
ter game than their opponents. While think
that Albany more favored by fortune
than was st. Paul. the result was not die
tated by 1t. Albany won because 1t played
an injustice when I say the st. Paul players
handed cut many trick. Deal six, in addi-
ton to other features. was favored with q re-
woke by st. Paul.

LAW AND JUSTICE:
The Supreme Court Releases Mrs.
Long and Her Daughter.

The Justices Of the Supreme Court yes
terday gave a decision in a case of habeas
corpus by which they combined both law
and justice. Some time ago Mrs S. c.
Long and her daughter who reside in
Riverside, were indicted by the Grand
Jury, the charge being perjury When
the case went to trial the defendants en-
tered demurrer by which they showed
that the indictment was faulty and con-
seQuenty imperative. This was Sus-
tanned by the Judge of the Superior
Court, but the latter put his foot into a
muss by directing the prisoners to be re-
turned to the custody of the Sheriff, to
await the action of the next Grand Jury.
The Judge did give them the privilege Of
depositing 5000 bonds each, which they
were unable TO give. The hardship this
order worked upon the accused win be
understood when 1t is known that the
next Grand Jury will not meet until some
time next fall, and there was nothing for
the two women to do under the order but
to stay in jail for many months
Through their attorney they made ap-
plication to the Supreme Court for writ
Of habeas corpus, and the Justices on
learning the facts, Immediately directed
the Sheriff to release the prisoners. Here
arose another difficulty, for the women
had been brought to this city, and they
were without means of getting back to
their home. The Sheriff was DESTROYS of
having the order of discharge. made out
at once, but those in the court, knowing
the helpless condition OF the women, told
him that the order would be mailed to
him, and he was thus obliged to take the
women back to their home.

CANADIAN PACIFIC
. CASTS THE GANTLET
Gives Notification That To-
Day 1t VIII Start Cutting
=. Local Rates.
Tho Matter Ono OF Retaliation That
Is Likely to Involve All
the Roads.

The war OF rates which has been In
existence for several days In the territory
of the three northern lines has at last
reached this city. and no doubt will soon
involve the Southern Pacific as well as
Che other lines.
Thursday the Canadian Pacific an
nounced that commencing on Saturday
they would make $40 rate from San
Francisco to New York, via Victoria,
erst-class, and $40 second-class. This rate
is 81 lower on first-class tickets than the
fare to New York, via Portland, over
the O.. R. and n. and Northern Pacific,
and $39 lower flrst-class and $37 90 lower
second-class than the rates in vogue over
the Canadian Pacific before the COM
mencement of the war.
NJ. N. Stern, general agent of the Can
adam Pacific in this city. said that at the
inception of the war the Canadian Pacific
made rate of $40 and $50 on through trav-
Ell from Eastern points to its Puget Sound
terminals. This cut was met by the two
other northern lines, and II was under
stood that San Francisco was not to be
interfered with. but the war was to be
confined to the territory further north.
The Canadian Pacific. while refusing to
advertise a cut rate from this city, learn
ed that the other lines were constantly
breaking their tacit agreement and sell
Ing tickets on through travel from this
city to eastern points on the reduced
schedule pertaining on the northern
lines. AS remonstrance proved of no avail
1t was finally decided to take the present
step In the way OF retaliation and cut
everything all along the line The $40 and
$50 rates, which will go into operation to-
morrow, will carry traffic from here to
Victoria by the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company's vessels, where connection will
be made with the Canadian Pacific.
Vice-P President Stubs of the Southern
Pacific absolutely declined to express any
opinion on the probable action that will
be taken by his company, as the meeting
of the managers of the various traffic as
sociations which was TO be held in Chi
: cago was postponed till yesterday. and on
the result Of that conference depends the
ultimate action of the road. He did say,
however that he understood that the
Southern Pacific was going to petition the
Interstate Commerce Commission to sus-
pend the long and short haul clause; and
If that is done the other roads will be
given all the fight they want

WALLER DID NOT PLEAD.
Argument on the Accused School Di-
rector's Demurrer Will Be Heard
Next SATURDAY.,

School Director Samuel L: Waller did
not plead yesterday to the Indictment
charging him with having offered to ac-
cept bride from Eli T. Sheppard on the
understanding that in return he would
appoint the latter's daughter to a posi-
ton in the School Department. When tho
case was called in Judge Cooks court
Attorney Peter F. Dunno, who represents
the accused, moved the court to dismiss
the indictment on the ground that 1t was
illegal. The point raised on which the
motion was based was that the indict-
ment was Illegal for the reason that
Grand Jurors A. F. Price and A. W.
Spear, who are not on the assessment
roll were present when the Indictment
was found. Under the statute" said
Mr.. Dunno, 1.-The participation OF any per-
son other than the lawful jurors and the
District Attorney in the finding of the in
dictment is fatal to the validity of the
proceeding" Judge Cook said that Judge
Belcher had already decided that Price
and Spear were lawful members of the
Grand Jury, and in consequence he would
overrule the motion. = Dunno then took
another technical tack and filed a gen.
eral demurrer to the indictment, alleging
that It did not state an indictable offense,
and that its terms were not sufficient to
warrant a trial. A continuance was
granted until next Saturday at this point
and on that day argument on the de-
murrer will be heard.

FOUGHT Two
EX-C0NVICTS
William Madden and
Joseph Ma blet, Alias
Joulet, Arrested.
They Attempted to Brain Po-
liceman Barnes With an
Iron Bar.
Suspected Of Being implicated II
Recent Burglaries in the
Western Addition.

Owing to the numerous burglarfes In
the Western Addition the policemen In
that district have been receiving spe-
cial instructions to keep a sharp look
out for any suspicious characters and
to arrest them unless they could give
a satisfactory account of themselves.
About ten days ago Policemen Null
cahey and Burkholder arrested Andy
Johnson in the early hours of the.
morning, and when searched a murder
GUS looking weapon was found in his
possession. It consisted of a solid
piece of iron about five inches long
and two inches in circumference, and
was bound with leather. Attached to
1t was a leather handle and a blow
from the weapon would have crushed
in a mans skull. He was convicted
of carrying a concealed weapon and
is now serving six months in the Coun-
ty Jail.
About o'clock yesterday morning
Policeman Barnes saw two men acting
in a suspicious manner in the vicinity
of Jackson and Devisadero streets. AS
he approached them they began to
walk rapidly away in the opposite di-
rection. Barnes called upon them to
stop and one of them wheeled round
and threw a piece of iron bar at him.
Barnes saw the missile coming and
lodged in time to save himself from
being felled to the ground.
Barnes drew his revolver and threat
ened to shoot If they did not stop.
This had the desired effect upon them
and they decided to come to a halt.
Barnes covered them and managed to
put the handouts on them. When
searched a Jimmy" was found in ones
pocket and several skeleton keys in
the others. They were sent to the
City Prison in the patrol wagon and
were put on the small book pending
further investigation.
They gave their names as William
Madden and Joseph Nablet. They were
recognized yesterday. by several de-
tectives as ex-convicts. Nablet's true
name is Joulet, and he is considered
a. most dangerous crook. The men
will be detained until 1T can be seen If
some of the people whose houses have
been enterd by burglars by the use of
a Jimmy" can identify them. If not
they will be charged. with having burg
lars tools in their possession.
The police believe that Madden and
Joulet are the two men who broke
twice into the residence of Mrs. Han
cock, 1886 Turk street, two or three
weeks ago and carried off large guam
/ tity of silverware and other articles of
value.
