schley's behalf concerning the con
troversy as to what information Capt:
Sigsbee communicated to Admiral
Schley when he arrived off Santiago
in May, 1898. One of these witnesses
was Frank B. Richards and the other
George Lynch, both of New York and
both newspaper correspondents VINO
were on duty in Cuba and in Cuban
waters during the war with Spain.
Mr.. Lynch was on the press boat
Somers N. Smith, and Mr.. Richardson
the Premier. They were to have testl-
fed concerning the meeting OF those
vessels with the st. Paul of which
Sigsbee was in command. The court,
however, decided not to hear them.
The opening speech of the argument
in the case was made in behalf of the
government by E. P. Hanna, assistant
to the Judge advocate. He began hls
presentation of the case a few minutes
after the court convened at 2 O'Clock,
and when the court adjourned two
hours later, he had not covered more
than half of the ground involved in
the controversy.

JEREMIAH ]. BRAWLEY
EXGOMMUNIGATED.
He Defies Chancellor Barry.

Chicago, Nov. 3.-There was an in
tensely dramatic scene in Sholyname
chatedral today, when in the presence
OF fully LOCO parishioners, Jeremiah
]. Crowley, the communicated
Roman Catholic priest, was publicly
humiliated by order of the authorities
of the church.
Father Crowley had entered the
church unobserved, passing up the
centre aisle, and had taken seat
almost under the pulpit. Solemn
high mass was being celebrated at the
time. When the presence Of Father
Crowley became known Rev. Francis
j. Barry, chancellor of the arch do
cese of Chicago, was hurriedly sent
for. Upon entering the cathedral he
went to the seat where the excommu-
nicated clergyman was kneeling and
ordered him to leave the church.
Father Crowley refused to 60, saying
"put me out if you dare. y
The strain was intense, and one
woman in the congregation tainted.
There was no resort to force, howev-
er. Chancellor Barry signalled to
man in the choir and the sound Of
the organ ceased and the singing Of
the choir was hushed. The priests in
the altar stopped the solemn service at
the end of the "Gloria" and walked
to the benches and laid aside their
golden vestments. The altar boys
marched out of the sanctuary through
a side door, and the priests, clad in
their cassocks, followed. The next
moment the hundreds of incandescent
lights in the arches were extinguished
and the candle lights on the altar we're
put out.
The strain was broken when Chan
cellor Barry appeared in the pulpit
and said:
lowing to the presence in this sa-
cred ediice of an communicated
priest, the solemn high mass has been
suspended. We will proceed with
low mass.
No sermon was delivered, however,
and the mass was at an end before the,
congregation was calm again. The
parishioners fingered around the ca
thedral and watched the deposed
priest as he hurried away. None
spoke to him.
In statementissuedt tonight Father
Crowley insisted that it had been his
desire to avoid involving any of his
brother priests in contesting the order
depriving him of his privilege Of
worshipping in Catholic churches and
that, accordingly, he had attended
the church of Archbishop Feehan's
own parish, which is the cathedral.
He announced that he should continue
to attend the services of the Roman.
Catholic church.

country as a whole:
Persons Of school sch age, five to to tive tMentS atS
years. 26, 10, 1888 of whom 1897, l3o
are native born, %, 490,2l1 are white
and 1906. 100 are males; males Of
militia age 16, $50, 1853, Of whom 49,

so in Louisiana, where they constitute
nearly one-half of the aliens.

number of persons to each potential
voter range from 81 to 3.5 in the
north Atlantic Statse; "a to 1876 in
the north central States; to A. per-
sons in the south central States; 3.3

RoundIap Bale.

Under it's new management the bus
mess of the American Cotton Compa-
ny is being vigorously pushed. The
Southern farmer is fast coming to see
that his interests and those of the.
American Cotton Company lie in the
same direction. Every unnecessary
expense in marketing cotton is that;
much taken out of the farmers pock
cts, and every dollar he saves by hav-
ing his cotton put up in roundlap
bales is that much added to his
profits. The American Cotton Com
pany's interest lies in enabling the
presses it builds to bale as much cot
ton as possible. In order to secure,
this result it is essential that cotton.
growers shall continue to find adyan-
tage in the use of these presses.
There is no requirement that single
bale of cotton be sold to the American
Cotton Company. Roundlap bales,
with all of their advantages, can be-
bought in open competition by any
responsible buyer and handled through
to the mills, but whenever the ordi-
nary cotton buyer declines to purchase,
roundlap bales on this basis the
American Cotton Company stands.
ready to buy them.
The farmer who hauls his seed cot
ton to roundlap gin may retain as:
complete control over it as if ne took
it to an old-style ginnery. He can sell
his cotton with or without the seed,
or-he can have it custom ginned (sell-
ing or keeping the seed) and hold his
roundlap bales until he is ready to
sell, With the assurance that they are
always salable at the full market value
of roundlap cotton. The American
Cotton Company makes liberal ad--
vances on held roundlap bales.-Dis-

ter to the British near Bethel, east
ern Transvaal, in which two guns
were lost. several officers killed or

ed two guns with the rear guard, but
it is uncertain whether they were able
to move them.
ssI fear our casualsties were heavy.
Col. Benson was wounded, but not

reach him this morning"
Later, Lord Kitchener telegraphed
as follows:
"Col. Barter, who marched from
the constabulary line yesterday, reach
ed Benson's column early this morning

Lord Kitchener then gives the names
of Is other officers who were wounded,
most of them severely. and announces
that 81 non-commissioned officers and
men were killed and $50 wounded,
adding that four of the latter have
since died of their wounds.
The dispatch then says:

recovered and the enemy has with
drawn. but have no further details.
81 deeply regret the loss of Col.

MINISTERS DISCUSS
MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN.
The MaIadministratIon of City
Officials Discussed From
the PuIpits.

New York, Nov. 3.-The feature of
the local political campaign today
was the active part taken in it by the
pastors of the churches. Ihirty-one
pastors, cslergymen and two leaders of
independent church societies adver-
tised themselves to speak on the issues
of the election and all these clergy
men took for their subjects the alleged
maladministration of the present city
officers Rabbi Schulman, the one
Jewish priest whose sermon was re-
porteds urged on his hearers the sup
port of the fusion ticket because of
the revelations concerning vice in the
tenement districts.
All the Protestant pastors reported,
except two, talked for the fusion tick
ct, asserting that vice and unsanitary
conditions existed and a change was
needed. The exceptions were DR..
David G. Wylie of the Scotch Presby-
terian church and the Rev. Van De-
Water of ST. Andrews Episcopal
church, who advised their congrega-
tions to examine the two tickets close
ly and vote for the best men on them.
Henry Frank of the Metropolitan In
dependent church, advised his hearers
to vote "against bosses whether they
came from this city or Tioga county, -
The Rev. Father J. Ducey of st.
Leo's Roman Catholic church was
alone in those reported who spoke on
the election for the Shepard side.
3 One of the features of the fusion
combination has been the work of the
women's campaign committees. A re-
port issued today says this committee
had distributed several hundred thou
sand copies in English and German of
amphlet purporting to be an expose
of vice in the city. Democrats also had
woman's campaign committee ac-
lively at work during the canvass, but
no report of its labors has yet appear
ed.
While the fusion campaign practi
cally closed last night few meetings
have been scheduled for Monday and
Monday night. Senator Depew is
down for a speech during the day at
meeting to last from noon until 5
p. m.
The Democratic campaign was car
ried on with vigor tonight, the party
leaders having engaged five theatres,
and from the stages of these the ora
tors cheered their supporters with
words Of coming victory.
The Democrats intend to carry the
work up to the last moment, and to
day have not changed their forecast,
which is that Mr.. Shepard will re-
ceive a majority in the greater city
of about so, COO.
Robert G. Morris of the Republican
county committee today repeated his
assertion of Saturday that Mr.. Lows
majority would be 10000 in Greater
New York.

A Memorable and sumptuous Exposition

The ENQUIRER, The Commercial,
Tribune and other leading papers, both
German and English, of Cincinnati,
are prolific in their praises of this
new and most impressive of all specta-
cles, which, at an expense that would
seem fabulous, the enterprising mana
ger of the John Robinson's 10 Big
Shows Combined produce this year in
connection with their myriad other
attractions. There is no sense So
vivid, so lasting and so conclusive as
the sense of seeing, and however
studiously we may search the Scrip
lures or ether sacred history, the
ideas that we may receive concerning
the patriarchs and sages, and the
other scenes, incidents and events con-
sequent to their time, can be but
fractionary and imperfect. To have

events and have placed sceneographic

stance of her surroundings: to view

description, but by actual inspection;
to witness personally the sumptuous

mable privileges which the John

Asylum Nurses Charged Witt
Murder.

Chicago, Nov. 3.-Two female
nurses at the asylum for the insane at
Dunning, ILL.,, will tomorrow be for
mally charged by Secretary Follett W.
Bull of the Civil Service Reform as
sociation of having caused the death
of two patients in the asyslum, Kate
Nedudo and Kate Kurkowski.
The charge will be made that the
nurses deliberately withheld food from
the patients. sometimes giving them
nothing at all and for weeks nothing
but breakfast and tea. It will also be
charged that medicines provided for
the patients were not administered to
them. The motive to be assinegd in
the charges is that the patients were
especially obnoxious to ssthe nurses and
that their course was prompted by a
desire so to weaken the patients that
they would become i'll and be sent to a
ward for the sick, thus relieving the
nurses Of the care of them.

a basis for appropriation at the next
session, Secretary Long has before
him the recommendations of the
board of naval construction, looking to
the authorization by congress for the
building of 40 more naval vessels of all
classes from battleships down to tug
boats. The plans for the two armored
cruisers and two battleships, projected
by congress last session, already have
been prepared, and look to the con-
struction of about 16, 600 ton battle
ships and 1900 ton cruisers. The
battleships and cruisers additional to
these which the construction board
proposes probably will be of about the
same size and general type.
