active, one-sided - wipe out past
promises and obligations.
Sullen and unyielding, surrounded
by batteries and regiments of foot,
they had at last TO succumb. All re-
enlisted save one, who defed them
and invited their fire. This was
Doyle, swarthy, gloomy, forbidding
looking man, large framed and of
great strength. His arrest took place,
but his court-martial was put of
from time to time to induce him to
change his mind, which he doggedly
refused to do why, was never
learned, as he carried the secret to
his grave. 1t was said his hands were
not free from blood when he entered
the army

uated Corinth and fell back TO Tupe-

inal. as it was hoped he would go
within the federal lines and save the
necessity of his trial and execution,
saws a writer in the Portland Ore
gonian. 1t availed not, for day or
two after Bragg's army went into
camp at Tupelo, to the amazement
and deep regret of all, Doyle, OF his
own free will, unguarded, stall<ed
into the guardhouse and to his
death.
Though Gen. Bragg was not the
most rigid disciplinarian in the army,
he respected what he thought was

sad fascination for the man, de-
sire TO lay bare the secret of the
gloomy soul. who Stunned his kind,
talked with none except the good old
Catholic priest, who in vain tried to
dissuade him from his almost suicid-
al purpose. The morning of his eX-
ecution was as bright and beautiful a
one as ever invited man to enjoy
and wish for long life, but it had no
bright side for Doyle.
From where his shackles were
struck off to the spot chosen for his
death was fully a quarter of mile,
vet he refused TO ride, walked be-
hind the wagon that carried his cof-
fin, keeping step to the mournful
music and beat of drum.
Lieut.. Col. Steevers, of the TWEEN
tyfirst Louisiana, was the officer of
the day, and it was his duty to carry
out the death sentence. The place
chosen was a semi-cirele of rising
ground, on which the brigade was
drawn up, with a depression of level
ground, in which was the open grave,
and by it a rough, implanted coffin,
near which Doyle stood, refusing to
kneel, eyes bandaged, which he at
first rejected. The firing party, IL in
number, stood ten PAGES in front of
him: one OF the rifles held blank
cartridge. When Col. Steevers band
aged his eyes he begged him to reen-
list and his life would be spared, but
a shake of his head was his only an
swer. Then the colonel stepped
aside, dropped a white handkerchief,
trembling fingers pressed the trig-
gers, and Doyle fell back corpse.
But can the members of that court
martial, the general who approved
the sentence of death, and those who
took his life, plead any justification
for it, go before their Maker with the
plea that by the rules of war they
were justified? Under no law of
right, of humanity, was his a
mutiny.

Arguments I'm OIL Cases.

Arguments on the review Of the decisions
of April 25 in the cases of the Kern On
Company ct al against Clarke and the
Cray Eagle OIL Company against Clarke
were begun today before Assistant Attor-
ney General Willis-Yan Depanter in. the
Interior Department.
The cases involve a dispute for titles to
a large part of the Kern oil fields In Cali
fornia. The capital involved is more than
$150OO0,o 600. The contest is between persons
who claim to have the right to take the
lands under two different statutes One
side claims the right to enter as mineral
lands. the other the right to take the lands
under the statute known as the lieu land
forest reserve act.
On the former hearing of the cases the
Interior Department sustained the right to
take the lands under the last act, unless be-
fore the parties filed on them that oil had
been actually discovered on the lands The
hearing also involves some side issues as to
particular steps taken to get to the lands

NAVIGATION CONGRESS,

Scope oI the convention TO be Held
at Dusseldorf Next Year.
The United States government has ac-
cepted an invitation to send delegates to
the international navigation congress to be
held at Dusseldorf, Germany, in June and
July, 1902. The congress will be divided
into two sections, one for inland and the
other for ocean navigation. In the former
section the following subjects will be dis
'cussed: Hosting machinery; coal trans
portation on canals; dams; mechanical
starting OF vessels, and the utilization of
water power of locks for generating cleo
tricity: In the sections for ocean transpor-
tation the discussions will relate to the use
OF lighter ships on the seas, the construc-
tion and maintenance of dry and repair
docks and the construction and cost of
dredging machinery.
Inland navigation is a matter of deep in
terest to the United States government in
connection with the improvements of our
rivers and harbors. 1t is probable that
three distinguished officers of the Corps of
Engineers will be selected to represent the
United States at the coming congress.
Gen. Gillespie, chief of engineers; Gen. Abb
bott, retired, and Maj. Mills of the En-
glneer Corps represented this government

BALTIMORE. October s.-More than 200

and commercial bodies in the principal
cities In the United States gathered here
today for the purpose Of discussing the

said, in part:
Mr.. Burton's Statement.
This gathering is the first Of its kind.
and the scope of it's undertakings must
in great measure be determined by your
action during the days OF this meeting. I
take 1t the movement which led to this
convention was prompted by a desire to
awaken general interest In river and harbor
improvements and to bring the commercial
bodies which are represented here into
closer touch with legislation upon this SUBJ
ject. / am informed II is not desired that
any specific project shall be advocated here,
but at the same time you consider the i'm
provement of the navigable channels and
ports of the country essential for our
development and that these ports and cham
nels require the fostering care and assists
ance of the national government
with this view IL is in your power to edu-
cate public opinion and to organize efforts
for the enactment of legislation which shall
be national in it's scope and for the benefit
of the whole people. The influence of this
preparations for rivers and harbors. but
liberality should always be coupled with
discrimination. Appropriations should not
be denied because large amounts are re-
quired to secure the best and promptest re-
suits, but there should be equal care to
prevent waste or the adoption OF unworthy
or impracticable projects
To Take Only the Best.
There should be no advocacy of policy
of compromise In selecting localities for ap-
preparations but careful consideration
should be given to all claims from all parts
of the country-to large and small projects
alike.
amounts appropriated in river and harbor
acts and the pressing need for deeper cham
nels and improved facilities along estab-
1ished lines of traffic, it is better to appro-
pirate for localities where traffic is already
uncertain problematical. In case of a
plurality of claims, even If equally deserv-
ing. when money Is not available for all, IL
is more businesslike to finish one and OBJ
tain results from it than to make piece

at the Treasury Department today to ask
for relief from the seizure of several thou
sand arithmetics by the secret service
These arithmetics were printed for use In
the schools OF the Philippines and con-
tained pictures of American coins. As any
printed fac simile of an American obliga-
ton is in violation of the counterfeiting
laws, the arithmetic was suppressed. The
publishers contend that wrong has been
done, as the pictures were educational to
the Filipinos and necessary to the informa-

THE TRANSATLANTIC TRADE.
Liverpool Seems to he Awaiting h.
suits of Turbine Experiments


according to United States Consul Bowie
at Liverpool, the shipping and commercial
interests of that port do not fear that Rera-
maven or any other port on the west or
southwest coast of Ireland can become a.
rival OF Liverpool. but he adds that there
is some uneasiness to the future of I,iv-
erpool transatlantic trade. The press and
the public, he explains, seem to be more
apprehensive on this score than the mama
gers Of the steamship lines.
Ihere is undoubtedly in Liverpool" says
Consul Boyle, "a deep-seated popular fear
tnat the British steamship lines-and refer
ence Is more particularly made to the Liv-
erpool lines-may be outdone by American
and German enterprise. A great deal of
apprehension exists among the British pub
lie as to the possible competition through
the inevitable development of the American
mercantile marine, and there is keen dis
appointment at the failure so far of the
Liverpool companies to wrest the Atlantic
piue ribbon from Germany. Here one
meets sharply defined difference of views

ton of vessels that will not only excel I'm

position of the Liverpool ship owners seems
to be that at present the best policy is TO

competition will be duly met and keen
watch is being kept on rival enterprises

nation as to the intentions of the large
