TRIAL OF BATES-INDICTED FOR
MURDER-NEw WARSHIPS.
Newport News, Va, June 13.-The
trial of Ben Bates, formerly bugler
attached to the Sixth United States Ar
tillery. who was held by the grand
jury for the death Of Mr.. Charles p.
Wilkersop some weeks ago, opened In
the Corporation Court this morning.
Judge I. ]. Barham was on the bench.
When court opened, Attorney Mitchell
moved that the warrant be quashed on
the ground that the prisoner had not
been given a preliminary hearing in the
Police Court, to which he was entitled,
and had not waived the right to such
hearing. Mr.. Mitchell argued in IA
vor OF his motion and produced author
tiles to support his stand. Common
wealth's Attorney Newton called the
courts attention to the long standing
practice of indicting prisoners without
preliminary hearings and asked for
time In which to secure authorities tc
show that n preliminary hearing was
unnecessary. Judge Barham decided
to wait for the authorities and Mr.
Newton went after them.
The attorneys In the case were ar
guing the point at issue this afternoon
when the hour for adjournment ar
rived.

ments Thereon Occupied Time to
Exclusion of Cuban Protests.

Washington, November 2s.--The presi-
dents annual message is practically COM
pleted and ready for transmission TO con-
gress when IL assemblies next week The
message Will be unusually long on account
of the numerous and important topics 1t
discusses, Portions of the message treat
ing OF different topics have been sent to
the public printer as they have been nm
ished and proofs have been submitted for
revision IL is not certain that the mes
sage Will be sent to congress next Monday.
1t is customary to send 1t on the day of
the assembling OF congress, but as the
death OF tho vice president makes IL GER
tain that tho senate at least will adjourn
Immediately out OF respect to his memory.
II Is not unlikely that the message will
be withheld until Tuesday. In the house
the adjournment Will only be delayed until
that body is organized, when, upon the
announcement OF the death OF the vice
president, IL VIII also adjourn
The cabinet meeting today was devoted
almost exclusively TO the consideration OF
the presidents message. large portion
OF the message was read by the president,
after which the members entered into q
long discussion OF the policies and recon-
mendations II contained. II met with gem
eral approval and after the meeting had
adjourned several OF the members ex-
pressed the opinion that 1t was an unusu-
ally strong and able document,
The protests 1.-THE cable reports from
Cuba saying some OF the Cubans are
against the reported establishment of .
civil government In Cuba were Incidental
Iy brought to the attention OF the cabinet
by Secretary Root. None OF these pro-
tests, however. have been officially re-
ceived here
Secretary Root said In answer to ques-
tion on this subject that there was no I'M
mediate intention OF establishing civil
government In Cuba. This, however, must
only be taken to mean that no decision has
yet been reached concerning the appoint
ment OF civil government which has
been under consideration for some time.
But II can be stated upon high authority
that the alleged lamentations now going
on in Cuba against the establishment OF .
civil government may result In ALLOWING
the present military government 10 con-
tinue longer thauf, otherwise would. The
administration does not seek TO force upon
the Cubans civil government that would
be offensive TO the majority OF the tnhshit-
ants of the Island.

prices unchanged at previous range with the
exception Of raisins. Orders from local buy

''Raisu prices were announced yesterday and
were higher than last year, though not much
Commercial as the probable opening price. The
reason assigned for the higher range is the
smaller crop, but the entire cleanup of old
stock has been quite as influential probably.
1t is expected that sales Will increase now and
that movement will be active soon new
crop goods begin to come forward.
THE activity Of primes is somewhat ham

The HAY Market.

The circular of Somers & Co. says:
There Is no especially interesting fact that
can be noted in connection with the marketing
Of hay for the past few days, nor, in fact, for
the past few weeks. Heavy shipments have
been made right along and everybody has been
quite busy handling their consignrnents, filling
up their consumers, etc. This has been con
tinued steadily up to the present time but II
may reasonably be expected that very shortly
& decided change in the demand may be noted
Gradually the different storehouses and Iofts
throughout the town and country are becoming
filed and when a certain number are of the
hav market will begin to drag. We trust that
when this time comes the fields will be quite
well cleaned out, that the market may not be
overcrowded with shipments, so that We may
20 into the winter season with matters in fair
shape Because Of the present discouraging
prices many farmers have managed to put away
at least portion of their crops. hoping to find
that they may not be disappointed, for upon
their prosperity, directly or indirectly, depends
the welfare of our city, and, in fact, all com
mercial centers throughout the country. II
may reasonably be expected that within a
month or two may see an advance over the
present range OF prices OF from 81 to 81 per ton.
Anything further than this will be brought
about only By a dry season or some unexpected
even which cannot be foreseen at the present
time.
The demand for strictly g1lt-edge wheat hay
continues fairly good, while most other grades
are dragging along in uninteresttnR way.
Alfalfa is coming in very plentifully and seems
10 be wavering somewhat The demand for
this particular quality seems to be lessenlng
materially and prices are from 25c 70 oOc per
