tial Being Held at Denver.

DENVER (Col.), Sept. 2S-The court
martial trial of Chaplain Joseph P. Nc
Intyre of the batt1eship Ortsgon was
resumed this morning
Charles II. Sage, a real estate agent
who heard Mr.. McIntyre's lecture on
August Sth, testified that the report
of the lecture which appeared in the
Rocky Mountain News" extracts
from which We're used in the specifi
cations to support the charges against
the accused, was substantially correct
He said the Chaplain spoke sneeringly
of Captain Evans a number Of times as
Fighting Bob
Harry S. Babcock of Denver testified
that Chaplain Mcintyre stated that
when the Cristobal Colon surrendered
the American vessels, aside from the
Oregon, were hull down behind,
which, he explained, meant at least
eight miles away, and that Admiral
Sampson reported himself within four
miles of the place at the same time,
and would thus receive $4,000 Of prize
money. Mr. Babcock verified The testi-
mony of other witnesses in regard to
the contemptuous reference to Captain
Evans by the Chaplain. -
Assistant Attorney of the United
States, testified that Chaplain McIn-
tyre said the New York and other yes
sells were invisible to the eastward
when the Cristobal Colon surrendered
and yet Admiral Sampson reported
himself within the four Lmilenlifnit, and
would receive part of the prize mon7
ey He testified that the Chaplain said
Fighting Bob Evans Of the Iowa was
running away from the fight when the
Oregon was going to It. He also told
of other illusions made to Captain Ev
ans as Fighting Bob" and said the
speakers tone was not agreeable when
making such illusions. He testified that
the Chaplain said Eastern shipbuild
ers had pulls with the Government.
and that many Jobs" were noticeable
in the construction of Eastern built
vessels while the Oregon was honestly
built.
Mr. Dewitt was still on the stand
when recess was taken until 1:20
O'Clock
At the afternoon session Mr. Dewitt
was cross examined briefly.
Alfred T. Bacon, a broker; Rev F.
M. Bayley, pastor of Plymouth Congre-
gational Church, and Hon. w. ]. Bar
ker. ex-Mayor of the city of Denver,
testified during the afternoon session.
All fully corroborated the testimony OF
witnesses who had previously testified,
the substance of their evidence being
that Chaplain Mcintyre charged Ad
miral Sampson with reporting himself
within four miles ofst the Spanish ship
Colon when she surrendered, when in
reality he was. at least eight miles
away; that he charged Captain Evans
of the Iowa with running away from
the fight, referring to him contemptu-
ously as Fighting Bob,' and that he
charged that Eastern shipbuilders OBJ
tanned contracts from the Government
by means of political pulls, and that
the Oregon was the only battleship that
was honestly built.
After these witnesses had testified,
Judge Advocate Laucheimer gave no.
tice that the prosecution would rest
it's case tomorrow morning. and would
probably introduce no more witnesses.
The court then adjourned for the
day.

Should Retain the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Paymas-
ter General Stanton has received a pri-
vate letter from Major Charles Nc
Clure, Chief Paymaster at Manila. He
says of the Philippines that the United
States should by all means retain pos
session of those islands. The people of

governed for 800 years, with no oppor-
tupity to develop or improve them
selves. The United States, he says, in
the interest of humanity, should assume
government over the islands

sions concerning the Presidential cleo
ton of 1876, and was an advocate ;,nd
subsequently a member of the Elec
toral Commission.
In October, 1856, Senator Bayard was
married to Louisa, daughter of Joseph
Lee, a Baltimore banker. Twelve chill
dren were the result of the union. In
1877 Senator Bayard received the hon
orary degree of LII. d. from Harvard
College
When the Democratic National Con-
vention was held in 1880 his friends
rallied in force to secure his nomination
for the Presidency, and such was their
strength and the popular feeling for
him that on the first ballot he stood
next to Hancock, who was nominated
on the second In the Democratic Con-
vention of 1884, at which Mr.. Cleve-
land was nominated, Mr.. Bayard re-
ceived the next largest vote to the sue
cessful candidate on the two ballots
which We're taken.
AS soon as the result Of the national
election of 1884 was positively known
Mr.. Bayard was the first Democratic
states invited to consult With Presi-
dent-elec Cleveland, and it Was gener-
ally understood that he was the first
man offered a place in the new Cabinet
and the leading place at that. This
he finally accepted, although it was
said that he was strongly advised by
leading Democrats not to enter the
Cabinet at all, as his departure from
the Senate would tend to weaken the
strength of that party in THAI body.
AT the close of Mr.. Clevelands Ad-
ministration Mr.. Bayard retuFned to
private life and to his legal profession.
In March, 1893, Mr.. Bayard was ap-
pointed ambassador to the court Of ST.
James, and served during M. Cleve-
lands second term.

first year Of his term as Secretary of

Samuel D. Warren of Boston, Miss An
ME Bayard, Miss Florence Bayard, the
Countess Lauenhaupt formerly Miss

Must File Memorandum of Sales.

CHICAGO, Sept 2S.-Judge Showal-
ter of the United States District Court
to-day upheld the constitutionality of
the provision in the War Revenue Act
requiring brokers to file memorandum
of their sales. He dismissed the habeas
corpus proceedings instituted by James
Nichols, a Board of Trade operator,
who was fined $500 recently for vio-
lating the law. The decision was based
on the declaration that it was the priv
ilege of selling on the Board of Trade,
and not the sale apart from that privi-
lege, that was taxed. The case will
be appealed to the United States SUI
preme Court.
