THE HEISTAND CASE.
Ex-Assistant Secretary Of War
Neiklejohn Again Testifes.
HEISTlSD'S DISPATCH TO Gen. OTIS
Gen. Corbln Explains That He Could Not
Examine Every Telegram Involved In
an Account Which He Had Ger
fled to as Correct.

Washington, Oct. 3.-When the SEN
ate committee on military affairs
yesterday resumed its investigation
of charges against Lieut.. Col. Heis-
tand, Thomas ]. Mackey appeared
as attorney for Maj. Hawkes., the
prosecuting witness. Former Assist
ant Secretary of War George D.
Meiklejohn, resuming his testimony,
detailed a conversation he had had
with Maj. Hawkes. in which the latter
declared that unless he was appoint
ed to position he would publish the
details of the hemp combination. Mr..
Meiklejohn told him that so far as he
was concerned he might do SO. 1t
was during this talk that Hawkes.
told him of his controversy with
Flint, Eddy & Co., Hawkes. expressing
the opinion that his appointment had
been revoked because of the contro-
versy.
+. s. Brown, q clerk in the Office of
the auditor Of the war department,
was called to testify as to the audit
ing of a dispatch Col. Heistand had
sent to Gen. Otis. 1t appeared that
the dispatch was audited among
others, the aggregate tolls Of which
were in excess Of $1,000. The account
was certified to by Adit. Gen. Corbin.
The records showed that the cost of
the Heistand cablegram was s5s.12.
Prior to the statement Of Witness
Brown, Mr.. Needham, Heistand's at
torney, had informed the committee
that it was Col. Heistand's intention
to pay for the cablegram to Gen. Otis
and for the reply thereto when the
amount had been ascertained Gen.
Corbin was recalled and explained the
had certified to the accuracy Of the
account as audited on the report of
board Of examiners Of accounts.
Personally he could not examine
every telegram involved in the &C.
count and did not do so.
No additional facts were developed
during the cross-examination. At
torney Mackey pressed a number Of
questions as to why Mr.. Meiklejohn
did not answer the letters Hawkes.
wrote. Copies Of these letters were
in evidence, but not the originals.
Mr.. Meikleiohn said he may or may
not have received them. He directed
them to be filed, but did not con-
slider replies necessary.
Mr.. Macxey, counsel for Hawkes.,
asked II the proposed hemp company
was not abandoned because Flint,
Eddy & Co., had a monopoly of the
hemp business in the Philippines, but
Mr.. Meiklejohn replied that he never
knew anything about Flint, Eddy &
Co.
The committee declined to permit
counsel to ask questions designed to
bring Secretary Root into the inves-
tigation, Senator Cockrell declaring
all such matter improper, as Secretary
Root was not under investigation.

no PACKING COMBINE.


Chicago, Oct. 9.-B. Anderson VAL
entine, treasurer Of Armour & Co.,
yesterday put quietus on the re-
ports Of . prospective consolidation
Of the leading spirits in the big pack
ing industry. He disposed Of the
proposition so far as his firm is con-
cerned with the declaration that Ar
mour & Co. might expand, but that
they would never be absorbed. Rep
resentatives of Nelson Morris 4 Co.,
Swift & Co., and the Hammond es-
tate, who, together with Armour &
Co.. constitute the "Big Four were
equally emphatic.
The total absence Of any ri7alry be-
tween these concerns, amounting ap-
parently to an understanding, was adj
mitted, but insistence was made that
this would not under any circum-
stances lead to the formation Of q
practical trust in the beef trade.
The reports of an intended con-
solidation were based, it appears, up
on dispatches from Siuox City, Ia;
Fort Worth, Tex, and other points
that Swift g. Co. and Armour & Co.
had jointly purchased sites for stock
yards.

This method Of procedure, instead
Of being unusual, is usual" said Mr..
Valentine. 1.-The mutual enterprises
at the Sioux City stock yards is SINH
lar to a considerable extent to the
situation of affairs at the Union
stock yards here, except that sepa-
rate and distinct company operates
the local yards. The operation of a
single stock yards for two or more
concerns is a convenience to all
without indicating that they are
bent upon merging their enterprises. y

THE BIG DAM
New Mexico Will Not Oppose

Not Jeopardised.

1t now seems more than probable
that compromise is about to be ef
fected between New Mexico and Ell
Paso in regard to the international
dam.
Those newspapers and spellbinders
of New Mexico who have been mis-
leading the people concerning the in
tentions of this city are about to he
enlightened.
Governor Otero himself has made a
thorough investigation and today the
following letter from him was receiy-
ed by the Ell Paso chamber of com
merce:
L returned from Washington on the
morning of the 18th inst, and since
that time have been quite busy with
the legislature which is now in session:
otherwise, would have answered your
letter of the 7th inst, which reached
here during my absence in wasbipp-
ton.
had the pleasure of meeting Sen
ator Cuiberson while in Washington
and had talk with him regarding the
proposed international dam, and
think the matter can be satisfactorily
arranged in the future.
"All that New Mexico asks. and
rightfully and justly SO, is that the
state of Texas and the republic of
Mexico do not interfere with her rights.
When the Objectionable features of
Senator Culberson's bill pertaining to
New Mexico are eliminated, you will
not ind any objections from our peo-
pie.
Il desire to thank you in behalf of
our people for the letter that you for
warded to Senator Culberson, a copy of
which you enclosed to me-"

MEDINA FOUND GUILTY
OF WANTOM MURDER.
Jury. After Being Out "a Hours, Gave
Him rs Years.

Marcus Medina will go to the peni-
tentiary for rs years.
At least that was the sentence he re-
ceived at the hands of the jury this
morning.
Medina was charged with numbering
Alvarez. a we'll known Mexican ranch
man, some twenty miles north of Ell
PaSo, near Virton.
The story, published in The Herald
at the time, was substantially as fol-
lows: Alvarez was riding DER his
ranch ore afternoon and came upon
Medina and three other men skinning
a COW.
Medina drew Winchester and told
Alvarez that he was going to kill him.
With this he fired and Alvarez fell
morta1ly wounded. Alvarez then
crawled to bunch of bushes and a
hot fight lasted for several hours. At
nightfall the men went away leaving
Alvarez for dead. He came out and
finally got home but died at six O'Clock
the next morning.
Medina's term practically amounts
to life Imprisonment.
