 Continuing his testimony, Colonel HigA don identified the official record hook of the 3rd infantry, and read letters and or- ders heretofore publish he'd. Objection was made by MT. Lomax on the ground that the record was a copy and not the orig inal
 The objection was overruled and the record book was introduced in evidence.
 There was considerable sparring be- tween the lawyers at this point concern ing the admission of orders issued by Colonel Higdon to his staff to accompany him on the inspection trip. General Oates contended that the military statutes do not provide for inspections by the colo- nels of regiments, but by the Adjutant- General, and that Colonel Higdon exceed cd his authority.
 The objection was overruled, the court practically holding that Colonel Higdon had authority to order leutenant- colonels Q participate with him in the inspection.
 Led by Judge Advocate Hubbard, Colo mel Higdon continued reading letters and orders from the record book while MT. Lomax repeatedly objected and was over ruled.
 Colonel Higdon testified that Lieuten- ant-Colonel Kyle did not accompany him his in pppfi trim that 4 mt Colonel Kyle was in Decatur when the company stationed there was inspected. and that Lieutenant Colonel Kyle rem dered him no excuse for his absence. He declared emphaticaily that he had never made statement attributed to him con- cerning demand for the resignations of Lieutenant Kyle and Majors Parkes and Huey.
 Then Colonel Higdon testified concern ing the absence of Lieutenant-ColoneI Kyle from the annual encampment of the 3rd infantry. and went over practi- cally tile same ground covered by Cap- tain Gardner and Major Mcconnell showing that Lieutenant Colonel Kyle was absent and that telegraphic order was sent him to Decatur.

He was relieved, however, by Judge Advocate Hubbard. who took the letter and read 1t in a loud, clear voice. while the court and the spectators re- mained intensely silent.
 At the conclusion of the reading of the letter, 1t was offered in evidenc by the Judge Advocate.

BIG C0LLIERY AT WORK.
FIRST IMPORTANT NINE TO
RESUME OPERATION.
STRIKERS MAKE NO DEMONSTRATION
OTHER COMPANIES EXPECTED TO
TRY TO MINE COAL

Tamaqua, Penn, July 24.-The Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company to-day resumed opera
tions at its No. II mine one of the largest col
lieries in the region. The move of the company
unexpected. No II breaker is located at
Coaldale. between Pottsville and Mauch Chunk.
1t is modern plant, and has connected with it
an up-to-date jighouse by which the slate is
picked from the coal and the sizes assorted by
machinery, and a washing process whereby ten
men or boys can do the work that requires from
100 to 200 hands at other breakers
To-day, without any notice the work of oper-
ating the coliery was started by hoisting a
few cars of coal that had been loaded inside
previous to the strike This dumped into
the breaker. and, with the means of the i'm
proved machinery and the non-union hands, in
Guiding many Of the bosses and the engineer
corps. the breaker was kept running. This is
the nearest approach to the operation of a col
liery that has yet been made anywhere since the
big strike began. The strike people say that If
any coal is being mined inside 1t is being done
by the BOSSES and not by regular miners and
that the operation OF No II breaker can con-
tnue only with the material that is dumped
into it from the refuse banks.
The output of this company is handled by the
Central Railroad of ew-Jersey.

in this vicinity.

Havana July 24.-The house of 3. Duran
failed to-day for nearly S4000O0 Two general
commission houses in New-York are said TO
have been caught for S1500OO and placed in
an embarrassing coalition. Several firms here
caught for varying amounts. from $1,000
TO over 100000. Upman & Co.. bankers, are
reported TO have lost $4,000, but are unhurt.
and Zaldo & Co. the agents of the Ward Line.
100000 The New-York firms known to have
lost are Cumming & Stockbridge and Isaac
Kublc.
Tie crash came like a thunderclap here. and
may result in the suspension of of the
best known firms. which is known to be out
over 100000.
The merchants of the city met this after
noon and discussed matters. with a view of
inducing the creditors to hold off for six months
or a year because ii felt that If the mat
ter reached the Cuban courts no one would re-
ceive anything The assets of the failed firm
amount are about one-half of the liabilities so
II all the sums due were collected the firm
might pay 80 cents on the dollar.
Mr. Duran is a cattle importer. buying cattle
in Mexico South America and Mobile. The i'm
mediate cause of the failure was the death from
disease in Cuban pastures of forty-four hundred
head of cattle the cost price of which was over
$4,000. This is the first failure of any conse-
quence in several years

G. n. RAILROAD SUBSIDY
PLAN OF DUNsMUIR GOVERNMENT
People Fairly Enraged by a Scheme
to- Add to Their Burden
of Debt.

Special to The Journal. -
Vancouver, B. c., March 10.-There will
probably be the biggest political fight in
British Columbia's history over the pro-
posal Of the Dunsmuir government to
grant 81, 100000 cash and 100000 acres of
land for. an extension of the. Canadian
Northern railroad from the boundary Of
the Northwest Territory to Butte Inlet on
the coast of Central British Columbia,
with the accorpa ninent of ferry serv
ice thence to Vancouver island. AS Brit
1sh Columbia is accommodating deficits at
an average rate Of $65O,000 year and
owes $2,O00,0O0 to the bank, it is main
tanned by a big proportion of the people
and voters that a further addition of
$i,S00,000 to provincial debt, which will
then stand at 0,O0O 900 for population
of 100000, including $4,000 orientals and
Indians, will fairly bankrupt the province
s. The proposed grant will also knock out
the hoped-for coast Kootenay short line
with Great Northern connections. The
British Columbia legislature is unrepre
sentative and controlled by Victoria men,
and the whole scheme is intended to
bolster up that rather declining port Of
10000 people and to enable Premier Duns-
muir and his family to make a good deal
in connection, with their Vancouver
island railroad. :.
The whole proposal is stigmatized as a
huge job, and there will be the biggest
kind OF a fight over it.. 49,, ..~.-~~-

."KNOCKING" IRRIGATION
H-ANsBRoUGH PLAN EXPENSIVE
by Enemies Of the Bill in
the House.

Butzdissg. Washtngton. -
Washington, March 10.--The opposition
in the east to irrigation. is determined
and bitter. The Hansbrough bill, which
went through the senate so easily, is
stlll q long oi way removed from final pas
sage. The east plainly says that the
house will not pass it, and pretends to
Know that the speaker will decline to
permit q rule bringing it UP for consider
alton. The general opposition to irriga-
ton Is best stated by the New York Sum
In an editorial leader, which, quote be-
low because It's statements will be used
by opponents Of the. Hansbrough bill in
the house:
IN broad terms, the federal irrigation prof.
ect contemplates the reclamation of about
lO0, 100000 of arid lands in the west. 1t is
urged upon congress as promising specula-
tlon II real estate, sure to repay the govern
ment, IN the long run, and incidentally bene-
hcial to state, territorial and private interests.
The governments possessions in the way Of
arid lands are estimated at about 600, 600, 600
OF acres. 5hve-sixths of which are supposed,
IN the present state of hydraulic science, to
be irredeemably dry. The vast project now
taking definite form at Washington concerns
only one acre is six of these arid lands.
me friendly words for irrigation which
President Roosevelt's annual message con-
tanned have given the general scheme an i'm
petus hitherto lacking. The possibilities of
expenditure involved in the scheme, if it be
once recognized as a legitimate national poll
cy, are SO stupendous that legislators may
well hesitate about beginning. Let US see.
The first reservoir contemplated ishf for the
ella river region in southern Arizona. The
cost OF the reservoir alone, independent Of
accessory works, is $1,0O6,000 and it is in
tended to render fertile an arid tract Of
100000 acres. At that rate, the initial cost Of
water storage for 10O 100000 acres would be
not less than $1,000, 0OO, 900.
River and harbor improvements, federal
buildings extravaganza, war pensions, new
naYies and interoceanic canals, become petty
items in comparison with the unknown posi-
bilities of irrigation as a channel for con-
tinuous flow Of money from the United States
treasury. The first step will cost. How much
1t will cost man knows.

Beautiful Cars.

The Milwaukee has equipped its early
evening Chicago train leaving Minneapo-
lis 5:25 o'clocks with new sleepers just
built at the Pullman shops
They are among the most beautiful cars
constructed in this country since the
now celebrated Pioneer Limited equip
ment was turned out three years ago.
A striking feature is the size of the
berths-they are longer, higher and wider
than those in sleepers in service else
where in the country. This is character
istic Of the Milwaukee sleeping car equip
ment.
The new cars are unusually massive
and in finish. upholstery and general de-
tail models in every particular.
