In the COeur d'Alene In
veStigation Today.
MANY SPIRITED TALKS
Were Made and the II sSes Were
Rigidly Cross -Exanlined-BO0kS
and Papers Are Ordered to be Pro.
duced Before the Committee.

\ Washington, March 14.-Feelng ran
shigh at the COeur d'Alene investigation
before the house committee on military
affairs today, and there were several
aspirited exchanges between Chairman
Hull and Representative Lentz. George
sNornell was on the stand relating his
experience during his Imprisonment,
sWhichfdiffered only in detail from those
tOf other witnesses.
II One of his recitals was as to an old
soldier, who. because Of the brutality of
the negro soldiers toward him, took his
Grand Army button from his coat and,
with tears in his eyes, threw it away.
Cornell said he made a memorandum Of
the affair, but the book was taken from
him and he saw it afterward in the pos
sission Of Bartlett Sinclair, the governors
representative during the troubles.
Sinclair, who was present arose and
declared there was no such soldier as had
been described
Lentz protested against statements not
under oath. He also gave notice that he
would call on Sinclair to produce all his
books to locate this alleged soldier entry.
Chairman Hull here interposed to re-
mind Lentz that he was not the entire
committee and was not in position in
dividually to order the production of the
books. This was a province Of the COM
mittee, and Mitha... sucn acllon LenLz 3
s,~>Aa-4- Sn1ounted to nothing.
Lsentz stated this was the usual mo-
tice that the books referred to in the
testimony would be called for. He asked
that the committee make the request,
and without objection this was done.
Lentz also moved that the committee
call Tor all rolls. records, etc. showing
the names of those held in the bull
pei" charges against them. etc.
The committee then went into execu-
tive session to pass upon the motion. The
executive committee voted to S against
calling for the immediate presentation Of
rolls. records ETC., of the "bull pen." It
was agreed, however. that General Mer-
riam and others be requested to present
any such papers when they are heard.
When the open session was resumed
the testimony was soon interrupted by
another exciting controversy. One of

He also questioned the attorney

paid.
The answer was that Governor Steu-
nenberg had given him $3.50 check as q
retainer.
Then the following colloquy occurred:
Chairman Hull-What difference does
that make?
Sulzer-Don't be so timid, Mr.. Chair
man.
Stevens of Minnesota-There is such a
thing as decency.
Sulzer-That may be.
Stevens-You had better get little
OF it.
Dick of Ohio-I object to the insulting
remark Of the gentleman from New
York, Mr.. Chairman
Sulzer-Never mind what you want to
do about it. 1 have my rights here. You
can rest assured Of it.
The manner Of exchange showed that
the members were very much in earnest.
The witness then went on with his tes-
timony. He told of the vileness of the
barn where the men were first confined
and Of the harsh treatment accorded
them,

MEETING IS TO BE
HELD in NEW YORK

New York, March 1.-THE arrange.
ments for the big pro-Boer mass meet.
ing to be held at Cooper Union tomor.
row night, were practically completed
last night at meeting of the committee
held at the Morton house.
Ex-Judge George M. Won Hoosen will
preside, and among the speakers will be
Montague White, John e. Milholland
William McAdoo, Robert b. Roosevelt
John Dewitt Warner and P. Louten Van
Vessels.
Mr.. Van Vessels Is brother of the
speaker Of the assembly OF the Orange

Mr.. White will confine himself to clea,
explanation of the South African situa-
tion, and the other speakers will ap-
peal to the audience for an expression OF
the peoples desire for intervention by
the United States.
A committee was appointed last night
to take up collection during the meet
ing. The question as to just what reso-
lutions shall be offered during the meet
ing called for much discussion. The res
olution offered by Mr.. Sulzer to congress
Milholland, in a speech that reused the
enthusiasm of the committeeman, ar
gued for stronger resolutions. He asked
that the president be called upon to make
a firm demand for an ending by peaceful
means Of the conflict.
In reply to the conservative objections
Of another speaker, who feared that any
demand on the part of this country
would occasion conflict with England, Mr..
Milholland said:
There will be no war. But the way to
get peace out Of John Bull is to prepare
for the other thing. The wisdom Of the
American people is greater than that of
any administration. and when the people
express their will it will be carri~a Out,
and carried ont ~--~~rosIully.
other speakers took the same stand
and although the committee on resolu-
tions was not burdened with any instruc-
tions, 1t was understood that the resolu-
tions to be offered tomorrow night will
demand immediate and firm action at
Another bigger meeting is
being planned to take place in the Mad

London. March IA, 2 p. ma few hours
should bring important dispatches from
Lord Roberts. No word has come from
Bloemfontein to-day although SHARP
fighting Is believed to have occurred
since the commander in chief was last
heard of. London confidently expects
the occupation of the Orange Free State
capital will occur to-day as previously
forecasted.
In the meanwhile, attention turns to
Mafeking. That hamlet of the plains
can. scarcely hold out much longer. The
news Of Colonel Plumer's approach has
given substance to the rumors of it's re-
lief. but those best informed are inclined
to think the relief is more likely to be-
come accomplished by Colonel Peak
mans column from Kimberley.
Private advices have set forth that Col
onel Plumer had almost given up hope Of
accomplishing more than harassing the
Beers, though since these were written,
1t Is stated that the diminished number
of the investing force may have rendered
Plumer's task more feasible.

stage is an easy proposition for the stu dent.
 Both, in their ways, are equally dif- ficult.
 The best time to study and practice the voice is in the morning.
 One cannot work the voice as one can work with an instrument, like the piano or violin
 The vocal organs are extremely delicate, and, if l may the term, petulant. They are very sensitive to the physical condi- tions, to climatic influence and to over work.
 When the student first begins to sing these organs are somewhat rebellious; they seem to recognize their luxurious quality and at first decline almost to respond to the impulse of future fame than means so much hard work for them.
 Students should not practice more than for period of one hour in the morning. with intervals of rest, of course.
 If the voice is not tired it is not bad idea to use it again for half an hour in the evening.
 Absolute beginners, however I do not think should practice consecutiVely for more than ten minutes at time. Of course as the students advances in his or her work the time may be extended, but never sufficiently to fatigue the voice.
 There is hardly anything so injurious for the voice as fatigue, especially for a be- ginner.
