has ended and the examination of Cap
tain Watson began before the court of
inquiry appointed last week. Practical
ly the same witnesses testified in both
cases, except that in the defense of Cap
tain Watson, Lieutenant Colonel Little
took the stand and, contradicting the
testimony of previous witnesses, said
that Captain Watson was in his opin-
ion, one of the most capable captains
in the regiment.
Both Captain Towers and Captain
Watson were given an opportunity to
demonstrate their proficiency in bat
talon drill yesterday afternoon. The
exhibition was on the main parade
ground, with the members Of the court
sitting as judges. No opinion was given

bine to Battle With the Trust.
St. Louis, Oct19-COl.NT. T. Wetmore.
at the head of the great tobacco works
of the Liggett & Meyers company of
this city, declares there is nothing in
the reports circulated around the cOun-
try of a new combination of plug tobac-
co manufacturers under the leadership
of his company, to oppose the American
Tobacco company.
The Dispatch today says: Dis
patches from Louisville indicate that
there is to be a com binatiOn to fight the
trust, whether the Liggett & Meyers
company is to be in it or not.
The Independent tobacco manufa ctur-
ers of Louisville notably John FINER
and Bros. and the Harry Weissinger
Tobacco company are very bitter
against President Duke of the American
Tobacco company.
Both companies say they will unite
with the independent factOris in St
Louis, Detroit and elsewhere to break
down the trust AS the combined out
put of the Independents greatly exceeds
that of the combine even with its new
plants, they think they can win.

TEXAS FEVER BREAKS OUT
Montgomery Stock Injected and Sew
eral Die.

independence, Oct. 19.-Texas fever is
reported to have broken out again IN
the northern part of Montgomery coun-
ty and several deaths have resulted.
w L. Skinner, three miles north of
Radical City has a bunch of cattle that
are infected with the disease and several
head belonging to W. H. BrOst have al
ready died.
About two months ago the fever had
quite a run in the eastern part of the
county and all that section was Quaran-
tined, but later the quarantine district
was reduced in size and it is thought
that this is the way the disease was car
ried into the other parts of the county
by some cattle that were infected with
the fever germ.

HUNGRY AND PENNILEss.
Distressing Condition of Prospectors
on Kotzebue Sound.

Tacoma, Wn., Oct.19.-Charles Farms
worth of Massachusetts, has returned
from Kotebue Sound where he went last
April on the schooner Marion from San
Francisco. He says her voyage north
with 81 men aboard was something ter
rible. Farnsworth's party became dis
gusted with prospecting late in Aug
ust and returned to Kotzebue where
they found 300 hungry, and for the most
part, penniless prospectors living in
tents.
Farnsworth says not one in ten had
money to pay his return passage and
not one in so had supplies for the win
ter. He believes that before this time
starvation exists among these argo-
nauts Among them were several dozen
women and children who were suffering
for food. One family had been living on
rice and picked pork for ten days.
Farnsworth thinks the Red Cross soci-
ETY. or the government should send a.
steamer to Kotzebue and rescue these
unfOrtunateS.

Wrackad Near Atchison.

The Santa Fe passenger train, bound
for St. Joe, which left here yesterday
morning at 5 o'clock, was unable to
proceed any farther than Atchison be-
cause of a wreck on the Santa Fe and
Rock Island joint track about a mile
east of Atchison. Four cars in a Rock
Island freight train jumped the track
and were badly wrecked, putting stop
to all traffic for several hours. The
Santa Fe train was turned back at
Atchison and ran into Topeka on the
time of the regular return train. The
wreck was caused by a soft track due
to the recent storm.

evoked cheer after cheer as their broad

cold rain and the colder wind, the crowd
remained until the last man of them
had gone before attempting to leave.
About thirty thousand men were in line.

CONCEALING THEIR SHAME.
Oueer Sensitiveness of Spaniards at Ia

HAVANA. Oct. l7.-One of the most
remarkable phases of the situation here
at present is the zeal of the Spanish Of
fcials to prevent the publication, at
this late day, Of pictures showing the
soualor in which the poorer classes here
exist.
Yesterday afternoon an American
named King was arrested opposite the
Hotel Inplaterra for taking a snap shot
of a group of children. The SURPRISE
which he felt at his arrest was In
creased by the explanation offered him,
| which was to the effect that such steps
were necessary to prevent the publica
tion of pictures which would be re
pardcd in the United States as Illus
tratinr the condition OF the subjects o
Spain. Mr.. King, however, explained
matters and protested his Innocence o
any intention to publish the pictures
and was allowed his liberty after hi
name and address had been taken.
The day previous an American clergy
man, Rev. Mr.. Thomas, was arrested o.
