A CAPTAIN IN THE NAVY

Washington, April 5.-The president
today signed a pardon in the case of
Captain Joseph =. COghlan, who lost
eleven numbers in his grade some years
ago as a result of an unusually sharp
letter written by him to the detail Off
Ger Of the navy department.
As one of the captains at the battle
Of Manila bay. Captain Coghlan was
advanced so as to make up a good deal
of the ground lost. The president 5
action today makes up the rest of the
ground and places him at the head Of
the list of captains. along with Cap
tain Sands At the retirement of Ad-
miral Farquhar both will become rear
admirals.
Captain Coghlan is carried as an ad-
ditional number of grade. and thus his
advancement viii not interfere with
the promotions Of the captains below
him. President ROosevelt's action was
Influenced strongly By a letter from
Rear Admiral Henry G. Taylor, the
new chief Of the bureau of navigation

and commercial phases. In conclusion
he says:
The American people are becoming
tired Of sentimental legislation. We
have spent $500, 000. 900 in war to free
Cuba. We have spent $500, OOO.O Oe in at
tempting to carry civilization to the
Philippines. 1t is now proposed by the
sentimentalists that we should inaugU-
rate legislation changing our finance
system. not for the benefit of the
American consumers, nor for the bene-
fit Of our agricultural classes, which
have thus far received little of the
benefit of our financial legislation, but
for the purpose of diverting 20 the
Cuban planters, in order to relieve
their threatened economic distress,
very large amount of money.
I am willing to extend this senti-
mental legislation to Cuba for a rea-
sonable period. provided it is accom-
panied by an invitation TO Cuba to
become a part of the United States.
wish to give Cuba full opportunity Of
elaboration, and I am willing to re-
lieve her necessities so that this de-
liberation shall not be disturbed by
acute economic distress, but I am op-
posed to the legislation unless we give
Cuba clearly and unequivocally to IN
derstand that if she wishes commercial
union with this country and conditions
OF commerce not enjoyed by other in
dependent nations, she must seek pO-
litical union with US in the form Of
annexation as part of the republic. q"
Mr.. CoOper's report is brief and ex-
presses general opposition to the bill.

downstairs and went into the sheriff

wv arate minority reports on the
Cuban reciprocity bill were filed
today by Representatives Robertson Of
Louisiana. Newlands Of Nevada and
Cooper Of Texas, all Democrats. Mr..
Robertson says in part:
The bill, if enacted into law. would
afford no relief to the Cuban treasury
I believe that the benefits would go
into the pockets of a few sugar plant
ers owning thousands Of acres of land
The 20 per cent reduction would not
20 to the relief of the Cuban people,
but would go Immediately and entirely
to fill the already overlooking Golfers
of the sugar refneries Of the United
States, known by the name Of the
Sugar trust"
Mr.. Robertson expressed astonish-
ment that one of his Democratic asso-
ciates (Mr. Mcclellan, in MS report,
refers to the bill as an enunciatiOn Of
Democratic doctrine Of reciprocity.
Mr.. Robertson adds;
1T seems to me that that kind Of
reciprocity is absolutely impossible I'M
der a Democratic tariff, Should the
tariff ever be revised on the line and
plane of the principles Of the Demo
cratic party, reciprocity would be en-
tirely unnecessary and impossible as
the rates would not be prChibitive and
the extension of our trade would as
natural consequence flow from the i'm
position Of such tariff rates without the
necessity of reciprocity"

presentation, reviewing the political

Contest.

Glasgow. April 5.-The struggle Of
the crowds which gathered at IbroE
park today to witness the last fnterna-
tional association football contest be
tween teams from England and Scot

intruders back upon the terraces and
seats. with the result that the failings
dividing the crowds we're broken and
people were thrown over each othef.
In the frantic struggle toward the eE-
its the pressure toward the upper poF-
ton Of the westerly terrace was so
great that 100 feet Of the highest part
OF the structure collapsed under the
weight OF the crowd driven upon 10,
precipitating the mass Of people to the
ground. sixty feet below. The injured
were piled in heaps, wedged IN with
broken wood
The OnloOEers hesitated to approach
the dangling structure at first, but
finally began to utilize portions Of the
broken barriers as stretchers. A hun
dred Of the most seriously Injured were
carried to the pavilion and to spaces
in the rear Of the stands.
A majority Of the victims are suffer-
ing from broken ribs and fractured
limbs. while some sustained internal
injuries Those most severely hurt
were later removed IN ambuiances to
infrmaries and the lesser sufferers
were sent in cabs to sarseries. Six Of
the injured are not likely TO recover
I A few persons were trampled upon IN
/ trying to escape from the crush when

victims sustained their injuries in the
) fall Of the terrace.

q T. LOUIS. April 5.-AIost sensation
y al charges are made by the Fen
ruary grand jury. which has been
investigating bribery and official cor
ruption in the municipal assembly, in
its final report to Judge O'Neil Ryan,
in the criminal court at noon today
The report declares that the people of
ST. Louis have but a vague conception
Of the extent to which corruption and
venality have for the past ten years
existed among their sworn officers and
public servants. 1t finds the true con-
ditiOns OF affairs almost too appalling
for belief A tribute is paid to Joseph
w. Folk, the circuit attorney, under
whose leadership the investigation is
being made.
These indictments, already made
public were returned by the grand
jury today. Bribery, Robert \. Sny-
der; attempted bribery. Edward Butter,
John H. Becker; perjury. George J.
