came from the sick room during yes.

full night, and the beef juice which the
doctors gave him Wednesday had been
relished so keenly that yesterday morn.

first time. He was bathed. and then en-.
joyed Il bowl of chicken broth. toast
and coffee. He felt so good after this
somewhat substantial meal that he
asked for n mild cigar. which he did
not get. Or. McBurney was thorough

tion. and went TO New York at D. m.
TO look after some urgent private af-
fairs.

the buoyancy of the morning. The
president complained of being tired.
The attending physicians at the after
noon consultation, true to their prom
ise to take the public into their con-
fidence. chronicled this fact with
scrupulOus care, but they displayed no
alarm. The doctors said the presi-
dents restleSsnesS was only natural
and what might be expected.

little official business would be ac-
complished on the opening day. and
the prompt decision as to Admiral
Howison came somewhat as Il sur.
prise. Intense interest appeared to be
taken by the public in the proceedings,
and though it was known that only a
very limited number of persons would
be admitted to the court room, and
tifc<c-bv-card, large cr0rvd was as
sembled at the Washington navy yard,
where the court meets, TO witness the
coming and going of the prominent
naval officers.
Men who Are Taking Part.
Admiral Dewey, Admiral Benham
and Admiral Howison composed the
court. and at another table sat Ad-
miral Schley. who had about him Il dis
tinguished party of counsel including
Hon. Jere Wilson. Attorney General
Isidor Raynor (of Maryland) and Cap
tain James Parker. with Mr.. league
acting as advisory counsel. The first
skirmish was opened by Admiral
Schley rising from his seat. speaking
i'm strong voice. calmly and deliberate
ly challenging Admiral Howison's elig-
ibility as a member of the court. Three
witnesses We're brought forward in
support of this challenge. namely,
Francis S. Frost. William l.. Spon and
Foster Nichols. They gave very posi-
tive testimony as to expressions they
had heard Admiral Howison make.
What Spon Heard Howison Say
Spon testified that he had been
passenger on the steamer Minneapolis
Oct. IL, 1900. and that Admiral Howl
son also had been a passenger on the
same vessel on this voyage. The wit
unSS ralatp1 that nDa dav d1IlinU the
voyage the Sampson-Sehley- contro-
versy came up. and one gentleman had
expressed himself as favorable to Ad-
miral Sampson. Spon had taken the
opposite side. and remarked that the
admiral had been the last member OF
the board of ordinance TO agree to the
use of smokeless powder by the navy.
Admiral HowiSon came within hear
ing of the conversation at this point.
and walking up to the group inter
rupted and told Spon that he was not
correct and knew nothing Of what he
was talking about. adding that Schley
should have been court-martialed.
Foster Nichols Gives Testimony.
Foster Nichols said he called upon
Admiral Howison July l of this year
for the purpose of securing from him
notes for q biography of the admiral;
that the admiral had asked to be eX-
cused from granting an interview: that
after n conversation ne had produced
copy of the work which his house
was getting out, containing sketches of
the leaders in the Spanish American
war and containing pictures of Samp-
son and Schley; that at the sight OF
Schley's picture Howison said Schley
had no business i'm the navy. and that
If Schley were in the English navy he
would have been put out for less
cause than there is in his case.

PECULIAR NAN FOUND.


Attired in only a coat and hat, a man
giving the name of Jim Hennessy was
taken by Patrolmen Barmfuhrer and Sul.i-
van from the Lighthouse Mission last night
and sent to POLICE headquarters. He had
other clothes, but he disowned them and
refused to put them on. The man was the
one who threw a bottle through the win
dow at the Monarch restaurant, at No. IS
South Illinois street, Wednesday night, and
then bodily followed the bottle.
The police, thinking he was so badly cut
that he might drop from exhaustion IN
loss of blood, scar ched all night for him,
but We're unable to find him.. The search
was continued yesterday, but with no re-
suit. Last night the officers, with a de-
scription of HIM, went through the Light
house Mission and found HenneSsy in bed
No. /. He was somewhat intoxicated and
refused at first to talk. He was told to
dress and refused to put on the torn and
bloody underwear, trousers and shirt
which had been put into the No. ] fumi-
eating box after he had retired. He said
nothing in the collection of clothing except
the coat and hat belonged TO him, and he
refused to put them on. The officers sent
for a number of persons who had seen him
in the restaurant, and after they had iden-
titled him he was sent to headquarters,
dressed in his coat and hat. After being
put into the patrol wagon a horse blanket
was wrapped about him. He had a deep
cut on the chin and several on the body.
The cuts in the clothes correspondent in po-
sition to those on his body. He refused to
say anything about the window episode. At
headquarters he still refused to put on the
garments, and, clothed with nothing but
his coat and hat. he was turned into the
cellroom. The window which he had
broken was insured and the company set
tied with the proprietor yesterday for Sl25.

GREAT SANTIAGO MEETING.
Plea for Tariff OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of
Annexation Sentiment.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Oct. S.-Upward
of 5000 men, representing every element or
Santiago, responded this morning TO the
call issued by the Chamber of MINER
inviting them to participate in a parade and
be present at a meeting to present to the
military government a memorial urging d
reduction of American duties on Cuban
sugar and tobacco. All business was sus-
pended during the demonstration, which
was the largest ever seen in the city.
Lieut.. Henry c.. Whitehead, Tenth United
States Cavalry, who is temporarily repre-
senting the commander OF the district,
wired the memorial TO Governor General
Mood in Havana. Senior Marcana, a lead
ing lawyer, addressed an immense crowd on
the plaza, explaining the memorial. he
asserted that several sugar planters would
be unable to grind next year and pay the
present wages unless the American duties
we're reduced.
The people are coming to understand that
industrial conditions here depend upon
CuDa relations with the United states,
and the opinion was generally expressed
to-day that the demonstration was but
the first expression of a sentiment which
would soon result in the formation of a
strong annexation party.

AUSTRIA Is
Thinks New German Tariff VIII In
jure Her Industries.

BERLIN. Oct. 3.-While the semi-oficial
papers yesterday denied that Austria-Hun
gary had made representations to Germany
against the new tariff bill. the Kolnische
Zeitung, which has very close relations
with Wilhelmstrasse, asserts that Count
Goluchowski, the Austro-Hungarian for
eign minister, has made such representa-
tions to the German diplomatic representa-
tives. The Muenchener Allgemeine Zeitung,
often inspired by the Foreign Office, says:
1T is a fact that the Vienna Foreign
Office two months ago expressed the grave
concern which the tariff bill has caused
among all who consider the commercial
treaty policy hitherto in force beneficial.
The German government answered that il
must be remembered that the bill was only
a rough draft and subject to many
changes"

struggle in Congress.
