DOCTORS DIFFER
On THE RESULT
OF AN AUTOPSY
Subject the Death of
Joseph Cooper.

The doctors disagreed emphatically yes
terday morning as to the cause of the
death Of Joseph Cooper. the Powell-street
tailor. who was found dead in bed last
Tuesday morning with the gas turned on.
DIT. Joseph J. Manson, who signed the
death certificate, and who violated a rule
Of the Board Of Health by neglecting to
inform the Coroner, repeated his testi-
mony Of the day before, to the effect that
he had treated the deceased for heart dis
ease for several months, and that death
was due to degeneration of the muscles
of the heart" What he saw at the au-
topsy, made by DR.. Zabala, did not give
him any reason to think otherwise, but
from what he had heard before, during
and after the autopsy, there was some
evidence that there might have been a
gas accident. There was only slight evil
dence Of asphyxia, and it was not typi-
cal case.
Morgue Surgeon Zabala fatty contra
dicted the testimony Of DR.. Manson. Dr.
Manson had testified that he had been a
doctor for about two years. DR.. Zabala
swore that he had been a doctor for fully
two years, and that he had performed
hundreds of autopsfes in New York,
where gas cases and suicides are numer-
Gus. He was positive that the deceased
had a normal heart and that death had
been caused by asphyXiation. The con-
ditiOn of the blood showed this. The en-
baIming fluid had not been injected into
the veins and the blood was natural.
j. 3. Smith, candy-maker at 136 Powell
street, told how Cooper had been brood
ing and worrying over the deaths in his
family during the past two years; Cooper
often expressed the wish that ne were
dead He said also that he had gone to
a doctor for what he thought was heart
disease. Spiritualism had been a subject
Of conversation between Cooper and the
witness. and Cooper had told the witness
that he had visited mediums and had
conversed with his Wife through them.
The most sensational testimony was
given bv John Cahalen of 11451a Mission
Street. He had known Cooper for about
fifteen years. The deceased told Cahalen
that he did not believe there was any
hereafter and that when a man died that
was the end of him. He complained that
his business was getting worse and worse
every day, and that he could not make
living for himself and his family, and
that 1t would be better for the children

BASHFUL WIVES.
Three Japanese Women Believed te
Be the Victims of Slave
Contraction.

The special board of inquiry in United
States immigration Commissioner North S
office are considering the case of three
japanese women and three japanese men
claiming to be their husbands, who ar
rived by the last steamer from Japan.
The women are young and pretty, so far
as the Japanese idea of beauty goes, and
so modest that their cheeks burned and
their glances sought the floor bashfully
whenever the handsome Commissioner
looked their way. One of the women. tes-
titled that she was the wife of one of the
men but that she had not seen him since
a suspicion arising out of the bad repu-
tation of one of the men that the women
are the subjects of a slave contract.

THREE FOREIGN STEAMERS.
THEY ALL ARRIVE IN PORT THIS
MORNING.
The Nippon Maru's Double Compli-
She Has a Light Passenger List.

Three foreign steamers arrived in
port this morning each bound fora
different quarter of the globe. They
were the Nippon Maru, the Mariposa
and the Moana.
The Nippon Maru sailed from San
Francisco Bay at 0:17 p. IN. January
%, having been delayed from noon,
it is said, by her white officers by
the fact that the japanese in the en-
gineer's department let the water run
out of two of her boilers and steam
had to be gotten up afresh.
Evidently the plan of having Il
double complement of officers, white
and Japanese, has not worked we'll.
In San Francisco many of the white
officers asked for their discharge if
they were not to be given complete
control in their respective depart
ments. Substantial concessions were
made to them by the San Francisco
agents.
The public also did not take kindly
to the double complement of officers
or to the japanese officers, and the
| Nippon Maru's passenger list and car
go are light ones.
Two days before sailing the Nip
pom Maru's officers gave a reception
aboard her, to which the public was
invited.
The Mariposa left San Francisco at
u. IN. January 26, and arrived here
an hour or two later than the Nippon
Maru. She brought very large list
of passengers.
The Moana arrived a few hours
later from Australia. Purser h. b
Bendall left her at Auckland to be
come manager of the shipping depart
ment of r. S. NORM. His place is
taken for this trip only by j. II. c
Bond, who is connected with the New
Zealand Steamship Company.
The Nippon Maru is scheduled t.
sail a this afternoon: the Mariposi
at 3 and the Moana at s.

Bridgeport. Conn. Aug. Twenty
nine persons were killed in the trolley
car accident at Oronoque yesterday. OF
the dozen injured only three are in a
serious condition. Examination of the
trestle and the wrecked car by the
coroner's jury and engineering experts
today showed that the structure was
perfectly sound, but that the wooden
stringers outside the rails were too low
to serve as guard rails, that the flanges
of the car wheels We're unbroken and
the brake set. The crank was turned to
shut off the current.
George Hamilton, the motorman, has
been arrested, charged with man
slaughter. The accepted theory is
that the car was running rapidly when
it reached the trestle and was waying,
and that when it came upon the I'M
elastic rails of the bridge it jumped the
track and there was no guard rail ade-
quate to keep the car from going over.
The coroner's jury has not concluded
its investigation.

THE PRISONER UNNERvED.
Effect Of the Harshness of the Pre-
siding Judge Toward Tim.

Rennes, Aug. Madame Dreyfus
visited her husband this afternoon, and
found him hopeful, although much un-
nerved, as the rigorous examination,
and especially the unfeehng demeanor
displayed towards him by Colonel Jou-
aust proved a tremendous strain on
him.
There are many persons who were
present at the trial now under the
impression that the harshness of the
presiding judge was assumed, and was
intended to disarm the enemies of
Dreyfus, who are exceedingly anxious
TO interpret ordinary courtesy into the
greatest Partially toward the pris-
oner. If this is the case. and such an
explanation is quite plausible, Dreyfus
is naturally unaware of it, and the eff
feet upon his highly strung nerves must
be very severe.
A meeting of the correspondents of
the foreign newspapers was held this
evening to protest against the manner
in which they have been treated in the
distribution of tickets to the trial. The
English and American press men, who
are the greatest sufferers from the I'M
intelligent way in which the tickets
were allotted, took the leading part in
the proceedings which ended in a de-
cision to make the strongest represen-
tations in the proper quarters in favor
of an amelioration of the conditions
Several prominent English and Amer
lean journals were virtually excluded
from today's session in favor of insig-
nificant continental sheets.
