The Challenge Unanswered.

~3~ ShGA&SASS 0hduSWSTSO.
About mile below White House landing
the outline of the Fern was discovered
about o'clock in the morning as the ves-
sci steamed slowly up the river. At first
the vessel appeared to be motionless as she
appeared against the dark background. The
steam launch was run in close to shore and
took shelter behind the white canvas of
schooner. The maneuvers were to be in
the nature of a torpedo attack, and the
launch was prepared to make dash from
the rear when the opportunity presented it
self. After a short interval and when the
launch was within 300 yards Of the Fern
she was hailed, but no response was made.
After delay of ten minutes the launch
made another dash and when within 200
yards the approaching party hailed again.
The latest challenge brought forth re-
sponse which startled everybody aboard the
practice vessel. In the meantime the launch
had run up alongside the Fern and the Of
hcers boarded the vessel before the Ferns
officers had time to recover themselves. The
officer of the deck in haste to notify the
commanding officer of the Fern of what
had transpired, accidentally tripped and fell
down the companion way, but did not sus
tain any serious injuries. The party re-
manned aboard the Fern and took breakfast
at 8 o'clock. reaching the city at o'clock.
1t is the intention of Lieut.. Commander
Hopkins to repeat these maneuvers from
time to time.
Maj. Charles H. Ourand, inspector general
District of Columbia Militia, was aboard the
Fern during the outing as the representa-
tive of the commanding general of the
militia, and will submit a report of the
cruise today. Lieut.. Brummett will also
submit a report Of the operations Of the
battalion.

MERGER CASE DELAYED
The. States Case Is Deferred Till
"--, Next Thursday,

( The states case against the merger was
called in St. Paul before l.. G. Ingersoll,
special examiner, this morning. At the re-
quest of the attorney general it was de-
fe1red until next. Thursday, Dec. IL.
George B. Young appeared for the defend
ants. and the state was represented by
George P. Wilson and Attorney General
Douglas. Next week it is intended to
take up the testimony and complete it.
Judge Young denied the report that the
defense would recall John S. Kennedy,
for the purpose of abating some dana ging
admissions made by him in the recent
New York hearing. Said he:
I'VE are so well satisfied with Mr.
,Kennedy's testimony that we intend to
ask that it be admitted as it stands, in
the government case. 1t amuses me very
much to have it said that we discovered
that Mr.. Kennedy had made some admis-
sions that hurt u.s.
There was some talk among the at
torneys as to the changes that had been
made in the New York testimony before it
was sworn to by the witnesses. Examiner
F. G. Ingersoll said that he had made a
minute at the end of each witness tes-
I.tlmony as to the changes he had made be-
fore swearing to the transcript. r. -. e
+ Robert S. Taylor. one of the official re-
porters, said that both.h he and the other
photographer had agreed to some portions
Iof the testimony before it was changed
| by the Witnesses. Colonel w. p Clough
| and Mr.. Nichols Mr.. Ingersoll remarked
! that the court would be able to see lust
what the witnesses had said and what
1 they had altered their Language to mean.
