who disagree with them have studied
the philosophy Of clothes and the hit,

inquiry was not in regular session, but
a conference was held in the morning
with Ensign Powelson and two divers
went over their former testimony with
nlans of the wreck and charts of the
Maine before the explosion. The govern
ment has finished with the services.of the
wrecking tug Right Arm, and it will leave
for the North tomorrow, Capt. MCGEE
commanding. Haggerty and Everett, the
principal divers, still remain here quar-
tered on the tug Merritt.
The divers worked little today, the
government men not at all, as they were
sorely in need of rest. Diver Olsen, from
the cruiser New York, was down more
last week than any record for such work.
Capt. Carey called today on Capt. Sigs-
bee and Lieut. Commander Cowles on
board the Fern, and official calls were ex-
changed between the officers of the port
Admiral Manterola and the chief OF sta11
Of the Almirante. The usual salutes
were fred as the callers were received i'm
mediately after.
In addition to Henri Laine, the Amerl-

morning, which argues at length that

return here soon to relieve the fern.

WORKED SUNDAY AT LEAGUE ISLAND
yVorkmen Busiiy Engaged on Monitor,
Cruz ser and Ram.


Cruz ser and Ram.
philadelphia, March 6.-Today was a
repetition of last Sunday in the general
activity at League island navy yard.
Workmenswere busily engaged upon the
cruiser Minneapolis, the monitor
Miantonomah and the ram Katahdin. In
addition work was going on in the mould
loft and several FORCES were in operation
in the blacksmith shops The utmost
reticence prevails among the officers, sail
ors and workmen at the yard, and 1t is
impossible to getIany information Fat
the details of the work. 1t is evident,
however, that all work was being pushed
as rapidly as possible. The work on the
Minneapolis and Miantonomah was all
below. decks sand was said to consist of
repairs and inspection Of the machinery.
On the Katahdin the standards of the
other repairs were going on below. The
work in the mould loft consisted of atten-
ton to small boats and spars.
The immense crowds (which fooked to
the naval station last Sunday were large
Iy increased today, but no one was al
lowed to get close to the warships. SEN
tries were posted at the entrance to the
wharyes and only workmen and those on
business were allowed inside the lines.
The old single turret monitors in the
back channel, relics of the late war, were
an attraction to the thousands and their
decks were crowded alllday long. 1t was
reported that five of these will be taken
out of their berths as soon as possible and
tested with modern guns aboard. -
Those now in the turrets are of the old
smooth bored kind. The information
as to the trial of these boats came from
one of their caretakers and was not Off
DIAL. The boats which it Is said will be
tried are the Montauk, Jason, Manhat-
tan, Lehigh and Canonicus. The purpose
of the trial with modern guns is to de-
termine whether they will maintain their
centre of gravity sufficiently well enough
to be available for use in an emergency.
1t was also reported today that the
cruiser Columbia, now in dry dock, had
received orders to sail for Key West as
soon as possible This could not receive
an official verifcation. The cruiser has
had her bottom scrapped.

WIFE MURDER.
The Victim Was visiting Her Convict
Husband.

New York, March 5.-Adrian Braun,
convict in Sing Sing prison murdered
his wife, who was paying him visit at
the prison this afternoon. Braun was
sentenced in this city on August 81 of
last year to serve two years sentence
for assault in the second degree. He
was convicted Of having beaten his wife,
but Notwithstanding this Mrs. Braun for,
gave her husband and expressed great
sorrow of his imprisonment. She had
been living in New York city with three
of her children, her two other children
having been placed in ST. Joseph's asy-
lum. When Mrs. Braun arrived at the
prison today she went to State Detective
Jackson's Office and inquired for her hus
band. He had been serving in the mess
room, acting as potato peeler. When the
two met, they kissed each other and were
very friendly. They sat for half an houl
conversing, only q few feet from where
Detective Jackson sat. Finally Dstec
tive Jackson informed Braun that hii
time was up, but Braun pleaded for lit
lite more time, saying: Cant we have 9
few minutes more
Because of the trouble Mrs. Braun haG
taken to pay her husband visit the
plea was granted. Suddenly Braun raised
his arm and the detective saw the glitter
of knife. Braun brought it down with
fearful force against the left side of hii
wife's neck. One cut severed the grea
artery and instantly the woman was
dead.
Detective Jackson sprang upon Braun
but the convict had time to cash thu
woman's head several times more. Two
other convicts who were in the corridor
came to the detectives assistance anG
the murderer was subdued. Warder
Sage had him moved to the death house
not, however, before another knife, SINH
lar to the one he had stabbed his wifi
with was found in his pocket. Warder
killed his wife, but he refused to answer
Later he seemed to be sorry for what HI
had done. Strict guard has been placed
over the murderer and he will be charged
with the crime.
Mrs. Braun was small in statute ant
gave the impression at the prison of {
hard working woman. Her husband il
tall and of athletic build. He has showr
signs of weak mental capacity. WardeI
Sage is of the opinion that sudden fury
overcame Braun and he decided to xii
his wife because she was responsible fol
his Imprisonment. 1.-The authorities think
he intended to commit murder first ant
then commit suicide.
This is the first case of the kind to oc
cur in Sing Sing prison. Years ago 6
convict named Mangano, also employed
in the mess room, stabbed and killed &
convict named Williams with pocket
knife. He was convicted of murder IL
the first degree, but secured new tria

this trial, Daniel Cask was stabbed ant

Mangano. Cornetti was hanged for the
murder.

Commerce With China.

Under our treaty with China in 1858
of the United States shall never pay
higher duties than those paid by the
most favored nation With these
treaty rights secure the United States
can view with composure any changes
which are likely 10 take place in the
far East.
The explanations made by. Lord
Salisbury in the House of Lords
seem to make it clear that the re-
cent movements of Germany and Rus
STA are not TO result in any exclusive
commercial privileges TO those nations.
The point for which England has
resolutely stood is that there shall be
no interference with treaty rights in
privileges now enjoyed. Her respon-
sibe ministers have repeatedly de
clared that she would go to war rather
than permit such a thing. and thai
practically was what Lord Salisbury
meant. as the text of his speech plain
ly shows. when he said that there was
no effort which England would non
make rather than lose her treaty
rights" But Russia. he Went on to say,
had given spontaneous assurances
that any port which Russia opened II
China would be open to free commerce.
He added that similar assurances had
been given ny the German government
regarding the territory which they had
recently occupied.
At almost the same hour that Lord
Salisbury was making these state
low, the German foreign minister, was
explaining Germany's position to the
Eeichstag. He declared that the cstab-
lishment of n free port at kiao-Chau
would probably best correspond To
Germany's interests in the future,
but he added. cautiously, that they
ought not 10 pledge themselves at the
very outset"
This, it will be noticed. is rather
more guarded than Lord Salsbury's
statement, but its tenor is similar
These assurances are of great import
ance To us. In standing out for the full
maintenance of existing treaty rights
