The testimony Of DR.. Herman Mn
ter was of Importance inasmuch as it
brought out the fact that the reason
why the fatal bullet had not been To-
Gated at the autopsy was because Of
the unwillingness Of the presidents
relatives to have the body further mu-
tilated by their instruments. Dr.. Myn-
ter and DR.. Mann, who followed him,
both testified that the primary cause
of death was the gunshot wound in the
stomach. One effect of this wound
was, they said, to cause the gangrene
to form in the pancreas, and the spot
of poisoned tissue was as large as q
silver dollar.
The prisoner Czolgosz during the
morning evinced no interest whatever
in the proceedings, but as the testi-
mony was introduced he paid more at
tention to what was said and looked
at the various witnesses closely.

Judge advocate Lemly.

Judqe advocate lemly.
It was developed during Mondays
session of the Schley court OF inquiry
that there will be final comparison
of the blockade maintained at Santl-
ago and the blockade maintained oy
Admiral Sampson. The point was
brought out when Mr.. Raynor asked
Commander Heilner In relation to the
location of the flagship New York on
the day of the battle off Santiago.
The question was objected to and
Mr.. Raynor declared it would be es-
sential to establish this fact, and Wine
he did not propose to go into person
alities, nor TO criticise Admiral Samp-
son. so far as his present inclination
was concerned, there would come a
time when it would be necessary to es'
tablish comparison between the block
ade maintained by Admiral schley be-
fore Admiral Simpsons arrival and
the blockade maintained by Admiral
Sampson from June until the day OF
the battle.
In view of the evident eSort OF the
Judge advocate to show that the prop
or blockade was not maintained by Ad'
mirajl schley, Mr.. Raynor's statement
IS one Of considerable Importance and
interest. Witnesses for the department
have been closely questioned concern
ing the character of Admiral Schley s
blockade with a view to proving that

been filed in the United States district
court at Charleston against the Brit

claims, was not securely fastened,
broke loose from the tackle and struck
him in the small of the back. His leg
and arm were injured and he was 9th
erwise hurt internally. The vessel was
seized by the United States marshal
and bond given for her release.

ROOSEVELT ASSUMES DUTIES
New President Takes Formal Charge
of Affairs of Government-Cao''
net Meeting Held.

A Washington special says: After
q suspension Of three days as mark
of respect to the dead president tne
business of the government at Wash
tngton was resumed Friday. The train
bearing President Roosevelt and mem
bers of his cabinet arrived at the
Pennsylvania station at 9:2o o'clock
a. m. and fifteen minutes later the
president entered the white house,
and, going at once to the cabinet room,
where President Mckinley was wont
to DO the greater part OF his work.
When the new chief executive reached
the white house he walked briskly TO
the big front door which swung wide
open. He spoke pleasantly as he pass
ed to the watchmen and other en-
ployees OF the mansion, and reacneo
his office, was joined almost lmmeoi-
ately by Secretary Long, who did not
20 to Canton to take part in the tuner
al ceremonies.
The presidents formmer secretary
Mr.. Loeb, Jr., will remain probably as
assistant secretary. Mr.. Cortelyou,
at the presidents earnest request WILL
retain his position as his secretary.
At II o'clock all of the members OF
the cabinet had arrived at the white
house and soon were seated around
the familiar table. President Roose-
Welt occupied seat at its head and IN
the chair long occupied by President
Mckinley.
Nearly all of the members OF the
present cabinet are quite sure to r.
main during Mr.. Roosevelts term, but
it is very pobably that Secretary Long
will retire within the next few months
He feels that he can resign without
embarrassment to Mr.. Roosevelt anu
therefore it is thought that within the
next few months he will ask the pres'
ident to permit him to retire to private
life.
The cabinet was In session about
an hour and half, all Of the time be-
ing spent in a general review OF the
more important questions which will
require the attention of the new presi
dent. All Of the members were pres
ent except Attorney General Knox,
who stopped for few days In Pitts
burg. Each member explained to the
president the policy which had been
followed in dealing with matters under
consideration and their present status.
No new business was taken up. Mem
bers subsequently expressed them
selves as having full confidence in Mr.
Roosevelt's ability to give the country
a strong, able and conservative admin
istration, and he will have their loyal
support to the same degree as they
gave it to the late president.
