1t appears that the prominen{s OF DR..
Treacey Also made him physicn3n to the
household Of the attorney genefAl. Ac-
cordlng to the testimony Of General
Nolan, he did not spurn DR.. Treacey's
offer with contempt. as did Judge Hunt,
but he worked the "sleuth racket on
him. indicating that it would take $10O, 600
to persuade him to throw the Welcome
case. Then, Nolan t~estifies that the
doctor told him to come to Ibis office at,

and get his cash, whereupon he in
formed the misguided Esculapius that

test, having only a few hundred thous-
ands lying around loose after banking

Nolan's purity. He told h doctor to-
put up or shut up but it seems that
he didn't propose to overwork himself
walking down to Treacey's Office after
such a small part Of the Verde mine as
100000 So the matter was dropped.
Instead OF reporting the alleged bribe-
giver to the prosecuting attorney, as he
ought to have done, and having him
tried on his merits for a violation of the
law, Nolan bottled up the incident to be
uncorked at the banquet of scandal with
which o wings Of the democracy are
now RECALLING the American public.
Nolan's testimony, taken for what it may !
be worth, merely emphasizes the fact J
that DR.. Treacey should have a hearing. |

REACHES LOWEST POINT.
Mercury at Eight Degrees Above Zero
This Morning.

The lowest temperature of the present in
tense1y cold snap was recorded at Z O'Clock
this morning, when the official mercury of
the United States weather bureau sank in
its thermometrfcal channel to the position
technically known eight degrees above
zero. Relief from the piercing frigidity Of
the atmosphere is promised in the predic-
tfons given out this morning According
to the latest prognostications, 1t win not
be so cold tonight. With the warmer
weather conditions, however, 1t is prom
ised that the sunshine will vanish before
increasing cloudiness, and that snow or
rain may be expected tomorrow.
Since the prevailing cold wave set in SO
suddenly Saturday night, the thermometer
mas ranged from 20 to 80 degrees below the
seasonal average for this section Of the
country. Sunday morning minimum of 9
degrees was reached. while yesterday morn
ing the lowest point reached by the fluid
was the unlucky number of 13 degrees
above zero. The mercury did not seem con-
tent with these records, however and this
morning went degree lower than Sunday
figures. as stated above. The range of the
thermometer since yesterday afternoon,
when the mercury registered 25, was as fol-
lows: pm. 21; midnight, 10; am, IL:
I am. y. From that time on through .ne
morning the mercury continued to rise, q
marked moderation being noticeable.
The cold weather extends pretty well
throughout the entire country, and there
is little of interest on the weather map
this morning, with the possible exception Of
new cold wave, which originated in the
lake regions. and which is proceeding
toward Texas, where there will be freezing
weather tomorrow morning. A low bar
ometric area is coming east, and will bring
the snow or rain predicted by the weather
bureau for Washington.
While the cold in this city during the past
three days has not been intense, as COM
pared with the record-smashing weather of
last February, it has been severely felt, for
a high wind has accompanied Jack Frost
The wind has been strong enough to pierce
the thickest of clothing. and has thus tend
ed to make the cold more penetrating and
keen.
There has been considerable suffering
among the poor owing to the frigid snap,
but the charitable organizations have SO
far managed, with the means and agencies
at their command. to care for all of the
really urgent cases.

LIVES WITH A BROKEN NECK
Peculiar circumstances Attending an Aoci-
dent to James Burke.
Falls From q Cart and Sustains Sc
riOus Injury, but Retains
COnsciOusncss.

James Burke, colored. sixty-one years
old, who was employed as a driver by
George Woodruff contractor at 1st and
Q streets northwest, fell from a cart at
Rhode Island avenue and 10th street this
morning and was seriously injured. When
the pelice ambulance reached the scene of
the accident 1t was believed that he was
only slightly injured. He was conscious
and was able to tell his name. The ambu-
lance driver took him to Freedmen's Hos
pital for treatment. When the institution
was reached the injured man was still in
possession of his mental faculties, and
there appeared to be no reason to believe
that his injury was of a serious nature.
This afternoon about o'clock, however,
the doctors at the hospital reported to San
itary Officer Frank that the injured mans
neck had been broken. He was then un-
conscious.
Sanitary Officer Frank started an inyesti-
cation to find relatives of the injured man.
The police succeeded in discovering friend
of the unfortunate man, named Joseph r.
Anderson, who lives at 1426 Samson street.
He had known Burke for number OF
years, and knew that he was member OF
some fraternal societies.
AT 3 o'clock this afternoon the patient
was still living. The physicians said his
condition was then extremely critical.

Work of the Navy.
The Secretary of the Navy has written q
letter to the House committee on appro-
priations in opposition to the proposition to
transfer the photographic work of the navy
to the coast and geodetic survey under the
Treasury Department. Writing upon, infor-
nation supplied mainly by Rear Admiral
Bradford, chief of the bureau Of equipment
Secretary Long argues that the best results
IN the matter of surveys would be obtained
II the work were controlled by the navy in
stead OF as at present, partly by the Navy
and partly by the Treasury Department. He
says that seamen are best adapted for sea
work, and that nautical men are best equip
ped for the work of surveying the navi-
gable waters of the world. Surveys made
under naval supervision cost less, accord
ing to Secretary Long, for the reason that
ships OF the navy can combine surveying
work with their regular cruising duties.
The Secretary estimates that an entirely
new survey of the Philippines, which is i'm
peratively needed, can be made for $cOOO,-
COO. and be completed by six vessels in ten
years.
"As a result of the war with Spain" SAYS
Secretary Long. 1.-The navy is now in pos
