NehSter La WiIIin

The Star has received the following piece
OF news, which is quite interesting and
somewhat amusing:
4fw name has been mentioned within
the last twenty-four hours in Washington
in connection with the vice presidential
nomination on the republican ticket and
this is that of Webster Davis of Missouri
ex-assistant secretary of the interior. and
Who Is now on a tour making pro-Boer
speeches. 1t is announced that Mr. Davis
name will be presented by the Missouri
delegation at Philadelphia, and that he will
secure the votes of the delegations from
Missouri and Kansas. 1t is also stated that
the votes of these states have been pledged
to him. and that others will be given him
II his boom assumes enough substance to
last until the convention meets in Phfla-
delphia. The friends of Mr. Davis have
pointed out that he will make an acceptable
candidate on account of his pro-Boer SYM
pathy and his ability as an orator anG
campaign worker. They say that a great
deal depends upon the reception given Mr.
Davis tomorrow night in New York where
he makes his first appearance as a Boer
orator, and If he arouses enthusiasm and
gets reception such as given him in other
places. 1t will advance his candidacy d
great deal. Those who are advocating Mr.
Davis claim that he viii be able to go on
the stump during the campaign go into any
state and win votes for the republican
party. As President Mckinley has decided
not to make a speaking campaign such as
he did in 1896, 1t would be good thing TO
place an orator On the second place on the
ticket, and that Mr.. Davis as such could
hold his own. They are anticipa ting a big
meeting in New York tomorrow night, and
they expect him to arouse great enthu-
siaSm and to win friends for his candidacy
After speaking Sunday night in New York
Mr.. Davis is going to return to Washing
ton, where, it is expected, he will meet a
number of his friends who have his boom
in charge. and then he Will start on tour
through the south and west, delivering his
lecture in favor of the Beers.
This boom of Mr.. Davis has been started
without the knowledge of the party man
ayers, and his announcement will no doubt
cause considerable surprise not only to
them, but other leaders in the republican
party''

OTIS HAD AUTHORITY
JUDGE ADVOCATE GENERALS op1x-
ION ON MAI. KIRkMAN.s CASE.
Enect of the Decision DismiSses That
and Other Omcers-Poyer of
the President

Jduge Advocate General Lieher has given
an opinion tc the Secretary of War to the
erect that Gen. Otis. commanding the di-
vision of the Philippines, acted fully within
his legal authority in ordering the dismissal
of Maj. George w. Kirkman, 49th Volunteer
Infantry. and three other officers, in execu-
tfon OF sentences of courts-martial on con-
vietion of various infractions of the articles
of war. This opinion carries with it by
implication the idea that a state of war
exists in the Philippine Islands, as other
wise under the army regulations the gen.
eral commanding iu the field would no;
have final Jun isdiction in a court-nartial
case involving the dismissal of an officer of
the army. In addition to Maj. Kirkman,
the officers who are affected by this opinion
are First Lieut.. Clayton J. Bailey, 2Tth
Volunteer Infantry. convicted of conduct to
the prejudice of military discipline;
Fn,s FlIst Lieut.. Robert C. Gregg, 18Th
drunk and disorderiy in 4 public
place; Second Lieut.. E. B. johnson, 49th
volunteer Infantry, convicted of being
drunk on duty
Maj. kirkman was convicted of being
drunk and disorderiy on the streets of Ma
Mia and firing off his revolver in a public
cafe. The conduct of that officer on the
transport on the journey to Manila in COM
pany with Archbishop Chappeile was not
part OF this case. In each of the cases
named the sentence of dismissal was ap-
proved by Gen. Otis, to take effect March
81, 1900.
The friends of the four officers have pro-
tested to the President that Gen. Otis ex-
ceeded his authority in dismissing them
Their contention is that the government
never having officially acknowledged the
existence of war in the Philippines it was
in the province of the President alone to
approve a sentence of dismissal The opin-
ion of the judge advocate general on the
legal proposition involved is not necessar-
lily final and conclusive, as in case it does
not meet the approval of the President he
may set it aside and act Independently on
the question according to his own judg-
ment 1t is not usual, however, to act con-
trary to the opinions of the law officers Of
the department on legal questions affecting
the military, unless there are stong rea-
sons of policy or expediency for SO doing.

HEARING IN GATES CASE
SET FOR NEXT MONDAY AT
p. NJ.
He Is Charged With Making False
Statement About the
Steel Trust.

NEW YORK May 5.-A hearing of the
case of George A. Lamb against John w.
Gates chairman of the board of directors
of the American Steel and Wire Company
on complaint that Mr.. Gates had violated
the penal code in making false allegations
regarding his company, was begun today
before Magistrate Zeller. The hearing is to
compel Mr.. Gates to show cause why a
warrant should not issue for his arrest
Mr.. Lamb acted as his own counsel, and
Delaney Nicoll appeared for MIR. Gates.
Mr.. Lamb asked that the case be set for
May II. and then submitted complaint
against Mr. Gates, to which he made affi-
davit.
Mr.. Nicoll moved to dismiss the complaint
on the ground that there had been no Of
fense within the provisions of the penal
ticle complained of was general statement
of the condition of the steel and wire trade,
and not of the American Steel and Wire
Company.
Mr.. Lamb said that he proposed to show
that the newspaper reporter who wrote the
article was sent for the purpose of Mr.
Gates own gain. He argued that even if
the statement did not relate specifically to
the business of the company the article was
injurious to that concern as Mr. Gates had
stated that the American Steel and Wire
Company controlled nearly 50 per cent of
the steel and wire business. He alleged
that the statement in question was abso-
lutely false. After Mr. NfcoIl had replied
Magistrate Zeller said that he would let the
matter stand over until next Monday at 4
pm He made it this date as he said he
understood that Mr.. Gates was soon TO de-
part for Europe. He told Mr.. Lamb that he
macs OF those whom he wanted to appear
at the hearing.

THE VIRGINIA A HOPELESS WRECK
Fate of Fifteen OF the Steanier's Crew
Still in Doubt.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star
NORFOLK, Va, May 5.-The British
steamship Virginia, which stranded We'd
nesday on outer Diamond shoals, Cape Hat
teras, and which was not discovered until
yesterday on account of the thick weat ther,
lies today a hopeless wreck at the grave
yard of all shipping" Her cargo of iron
ore is at the bottom of the sea, and the
vessel broken in two. The survivors. Cap
tain Samrels and four men. are at Hat
teras life-saving station. They lost every
thing. Six Of the crew met death by drown
ing, and the fate of the fifteen who got
safely away in small boat is unknown
as nothing has been heard of them.
1t is reported they took no provisions in
their hurry, and if the boat outrode the
mountainous seas, they may suffer from
hunger If not picked up by some vessels.
The lightshiD now at Diamond shoals is
a relief vessel, the regular lightship being
at Baltimore for repairs. This disaster oc-
curing so late in the season may nave the
effect of extending the life-saving service
season the year round. At present the
coast is unguarded in June and July.

up in the Senate shortly before 5 o'clock
yesterday afternoon by Mr. Stewart, who
said it had been twice objected to under q

in the Record, and said he would again
ask unanimous consent for the considera-
ton of the bill, and if it were not given
him he would insist upon its being taken
up. He said he had tried for two sessions
to have hearing on this matter, and he
proposed having one before he quit.
Smithmeyer and Pelz. he said, had pro-
duced the plans for the building for the
Library of Congress under competition af-
ter thirteen years of labor and it was the
admiration Of the world. The architects
he said. had not been compensated for
their work and he wanted justice done
