which was thronged. Mr.. Ford had as
his legal adviser Herbert III. Ward,

tion of witnesses in the manner of an
astute attorney who has had years OF
experience before a bar He was deep
~ in earnest in his questionings. De-
tective McVey crcss- examined many Of
the WITNESSES to. good advantage.
When the names Of witnesses were
called it was found that John e. Hart

Charles Hoelle, Thomas NIcIIugh, Alg-
mes Simmons and H. c. Mahaffy were

ordered to leave the room during the
examination Of witnesses.
Those giving testimony were admin
istered the oath by President Pro TEN
Salmons and Senator Pyle, who also
was sitting as judge, was the first
witness called. Mr.. Ward, however
insisted that Mr.. Ford be permitted to
eall the witnesses in the order he de-
sired, and examination Of Senator Pyle
was waived, after which he returned
TO the bench.
MIR. FORD OPENS HIS CASE.
Mr. Ford said he was present be-
cause he considered it a public duty
and he would endeavor to suIbstantiat'

to determine whether Mr.. Mcvey is q
proper man to hold a state office. Mr.

thousand men are to be brought home
by these ships, including a large inva-
lided list.
The wounded in operations of the
past months have numbered ], Ill and
the killed 1913, but the number who
have died from wounds, as well as
rom disease, has not yet been COM
piled in accurate form. It is, how
ever, known thai the list of deaths
from disease far outnumber those
from wounds, and that the number of
men snccumbing to injuries is COM
paratively light. The surgeons here
estimated that not one twentieth of
the wounded die. The figures, how
ever, of the killed and wounded, as
compared to the losses of the enemy,
is regarded by military men as very
small, and for every American wound
ed and killed it is believed there have
been dozen Filipinos.
The sum required to pay the troops
at Manila is very large item in the
total cost of maintaining the army.
The paymasters, as rule, have been
chosen from the volunteer service.
The salaries OF these officers, and the
expense Of the clerical hire to assist
in the payment Of troops, is estimated
by the paymaster-general to have been
far larger than Las been supposed, but
80 intricate is the system that no one
has any idea what this particular
branch of work alone has cost the
country. Government transports have
carried the gold and silver to Manila,
otherwise the expense charges would
have further increased the expense of
paying troops.
There has been no difficulty from
the time troops were first ordered to
Manila in keeping them fully equipped
with arms and ammunition and sup
piled with quartermaster' and COM
missaries supplies. With Manila as
general depot and distributing point
for the army, the troops have never
lacked either FOR wholesome food, it is
said, or clothing and medical supplies.
The mistakes and the mismanagement
which caused suffering to thousands
in the Santiago campaign have been
avoided and the result has been to
elicit commentator for the manner in
which both quartermaster and com
inissary departments have been con-
Quoted, 'as well as the efficient service
Of the l,surgeon-general staff. There
has not been single complaint FROM
officers with Gen. Otis.

THE COMING WOMAN.

Coming across the eastern hills apace with
Fastening morn,
In garments stainless as the light and ra-
diant as the dawn.
With steadfest gaze, majestic mien.
And brow where wisdom sits serene.
Before her evil flies. to hide in darkness far
away.
A. fees the gloom Of night before the swift
approach Of day;
For heaven Is In her shining eyes
As in the deeps Of cloudless skies.
Sovereign Of homes broad realm Is she. and
fairer it's to-day
Because she rules within. yet far beyond
extends her sway:
For all the world shall better be.
And holier, for her ministry.
And little children round her throng lis
tening for her voice,
Whose sweet-toned cadences their hearts
encourage and rejoice:
Her swift. light footsteps to and fro
On missions OF sweet mercy 60.
She lays her tender hand in love upon the
lone and sad,
And hearts unused to Joy look up and look
Ing are made glad;
Her very feet are slfod with peace
Before which wars and tumults cease.
The star that gems her ooronet Is herald Of
the day
When Christ shall claim His own again
and sin be swept away;
His handmade, she shall sooner bring
The welcome coming of the King.
