DEATH OF NORMAN NORTH.
He Perished While Bravely Trying
to Save Others.

News has just been received here of the
death ct Humacas. Porto Rico, during the
recent hurricane. of Norman North, son of
Rev. Joseph and Mrs. North, of Anacostia.
He enlisted a year ago in the Fifth Cavalry
and had been stationed at Humacas for
several months preceding his death. He
received his discharge last April and in
tended to return home and continue his
studies in the Medical College of the Co
lumbian University. He was persuaded
however, to remain and assist the quarter
master in the clerical work of his Office
with the understanding that he was to be
relieved on the 1st of September and per-
mitted to return to the United States. The
news of his death was received by Mrs.
North in a letter from the postmaster at
Humacas, dated August 10. The letter is
as follows:
Norman left us as he had lived with
US, performing his duty. 1t was while
trying to cross a river, hurrying to save
the weaker perishing ones, and those
buried beneath the wreckage. that the cur
rent overpowered him and bore him down.
This was the morning of the Sth. On
the 10th his body was found two miles
below the town, brought here, and given
a funeral that would have done any man
honor. The commanding officer, Capt E.
Swift. conducted the services. Norman was
going TO start home Saturday"
Young North rendered valuable assist
ance to the surgeon of his troop in the
work of vaccinating soldiers and natives
He had many friends in this city who viii
be grieved to hear of his death. He was
a graduate of the District High Schools,
and before going into the Army was the
assistant to DR.. Blackburn, special path
ologist at the Government Asylum for the

FILIPINos WILL STAY.
Commissioners PowderIy's Decision
in the San Francisco Case.

Commissioners PoyvderIy's Decision
in the San Francisco Case.
III. North, Commissioner of Immigra-
tion at San Francisco, has arrived in Wash
ington, and held a conference yesterday at
the Treasury Department with Commission
er Powderly in regard to the Filipinos who
were exported to this country for exhibi-
ton purposes, and who are now held at
San Francisco, pending the decision of
Commissioner Powderly. Mr.. North ex-
planned the situation to Secretary Gage and
Assistant Secretary Taylor. The Filipinos
in question are said TO be of a very low order
of intelligence. They are mixture of Ma
lay. Chinese, Japanese. Spaniard, and Port
uguese, and are very small, averaging only
four and one-half feet in height The wo-
men are not pretty. as they mature early
and become old rapidly. while both the men
and women are uncleanly.
After becoming acquainted with the mat
ter Commissioner Powderly yesterday after
noon decided that as the Mechanics Insti-
tute in San Francisco where the Filipinos
are to be first exhibited is willing to give
bond OF $500 for each Filipino, they will
not become a charge on this country
The steamship company which brought thsn
over would be obliged to return them in the
event of it being decided that their land
ing would be in violation of the labor con-
tract law, or other statutes bearing on the
subject of immigration. The steamship
couupany hoped TO eyade responsibility be-
cause authority for bringing them on the
Government transport was obtained from
the War Department. Commissioner Pow
derly's decision means that the Filipinos
will remain in this country until their con-
tracts for exhibitions are filled. Their man
ager intends to bring them East, gradually
reaching New York next year and sailing
from that point to Paris in time for the ex-

er grounds than other points in his argu-
ment. When Captain Carter was under
going the preliminary examination at Sa
vannah. he voluntarily permitted the COM
mittee on investigation to examine the
papers which were afterward introduced as
evidence. Captain Carter spontaneously
opened the way for the committee to act
The committee investigated. AS result of
the investigation, conducted with Captain
Carter's free consent, these private letters
were found and were later handed over to
the court The court properly ruled that,
although ii could not force confession, OF
an admission from Captain Carter TO be
gin with, yet under well recognized prece-
dents, it was compelled 10 admit as evil
dence facts which, no matter how obtained
bore directly upon the case, and which could
not, therefore, be disregarded by the court
That ruling of the court is sustained by
numerous precedents, not only IN military
but also in civil trials.
The Presidents Position.
Mr. Macveagh will deceive nobody by
his statement in regard to the President s
solicitude in this case. Mr.. Macyeagh says
that the President asked him in July, 1898,
but one question: rs Captain Carter inno-
cent? Now, / cannot believe that the
President asked any such question. Mr.
MacVeagh evidently dreamed that ittie
fiction. and he has repeated it over to HIM
self so often in his waking hours that at
length he has come TO believe 1t to be
true But it cannot be accurate. Picture
the President of the United States saying
to a convicted clients counsel what Mr.. Nc
Kinley IS said TO have enquired of Mr..
MacVeaghl 1t is absurd on its very face
/ cannot even imagine that the President
would place himself in position so ridie-
ulous.
THE people, however, should be thank
full to Mr. MacYeagh for this alleged In
terview with the President. 1t shows
clearly that Captain Carter's counsel was
at the White House the moment the case
left the Judge Advocate Generals Office OF
the War Department on July D, lS9S-
more than thirteen months ago. Mr.. Mac
veagh was then pleading with the Presi-
dent in regard to his client. Mr.. Mac
veagn afterward pleaded with Attorney
General Griggs later in the year 1898 on
this same question. And now we learn
that this same Mr.. Griggs is waiting for
this same Mr.. Macyeagh to return from
Europe in order to plead once more in be-
half of this same Captain Carter who
was convicted and sentenced by compe-
tent court-martial sixteen months ago OF
conduct unbeeoming an officer and gen.
tleman.'

BoLsTERING UP CARTER.
Counsel Rose Likens His Case to That
of DreNfus.

of Dreyfus.
NEW YORK, Aug. S0.-Abram ]. Rose,
of Latin. Rose & Smith, counsel for Capt.
oberlin NJ Carter. made statement to-
day on behalf of his client. He said that
the conduct of the Dreyfus courtmartial
was no more strange than that of the
Carter court-martial. The court, he
said, stated both in public and private
conversations that ii was bound to take
its Law from the judge advocate, and that
the court itself could ask any questions
it saw fit without any objection from the
other side, irrespective of the established
rules of evidence. That the judge advo-
cate wrongly advised the court and the
court admitted improper evidence for the
prosecution and excluded proper evidence
when offered for the defence, an examina-
ton of the record by a student who had
studied law for only six months would
easily reveal. Let me illustrate: Conyer
sations between two parties, neither of
whom are mentioned in the charges, on
the street and in the absence of Captain
Carter, as to what they would do in rela-
tion to Captain CarteT's work, were grave
ly admitted in evidence by the court. Per-
sons were permitted to testify as experts
on the cost of material whose examina-
tions showed that they had neither bought
nor sold nor dealt with any of the material
about which they were testifying; that the
only information they had on the subject
was what some one had told them with
reference TO the cost of this material after
this trial had begun. One man was also
permitted to testify as an expert civil en-
gineer who swore before the court that he
did not know the difference between a
square and a cubic yard.

MILEAGE DIsALLowED.
Decision Regarding Travel Pay of
Lighthouse Board Members.

Lighthouse Board Hem bers.
Comptroller Tracewell rendered a deci-
sion yesterday, in which it is held that
members of the Lighthouse Board are not
entitled to mileage when travelling from
their homes TO their session chambers. The
decision was rendered at the request of the
naval secretary of the Lighthouse Board
The Auditor for the Treasury Depart
ment, in a settlement of these accounts,
dated July 20, 1893, disallows certain items
for mileage paid to the chairman. the
naval secretary. and other members of the
Lighthouse Board. The Comptroller claims
that travel performed for which mileage
was charged was not ordered by the Sec
retary of the Treasury. For this reason
the Auditors action in disallowing the
mileage charges are approved
The Comptroller declares that travel of
an officer from his residence to his sta
tion is not travel upon public business or
duty, and that if he resides at distance
from Washington he is not entitled to
mileage The Comptroller thinks that il
is. perhaps, unfair that Congress has made
no provision for Civilian members of the
board who serve without compensation. and
who are obliged to pay their expenses from
their homes to Washington TO attend meet
ings of the board. but he is not authorized
by law to make exceptions in their favor.
