Denver, Oct. 20.-At 10 o'clock yes
terday morning the long-talked-oi
court martial to consider the charges
against Gen. John Chase and Other
charges which might be presented
against National Guard officers, was
opened In the Senate chamber of the

H. c. Naylor, Capt. H. P. Gamble.

Heinig, Capt. 8. B. Sholz and Lieut..
D. w. Strickland. The prosecuting Of
fcer was Capt. George Greer, Judge ad-
vocate.
The attorneys for General Chase OBJ
jected to Mai. H. G. Naylor on the
ground that he had insufficient mill
tary experience, that he was Of infer
Tor rank to that Of the accused, that
he was a personal friend Of the COM
planning witness, and that he bore per-
sonal animosity against the accused.
General Chase sat to the left of the
court martial, with his three attorneys.
Willis v. Elliott, ]. M. Humphreys and
r. G. Bardwell, and to the left was
Judge Advocate Greer and his assist
ants.
General Chase bore himself with dig
nifty and composure. He showed no
particular sign of nervousness, nor ap-
prehensiou as to the outcome of the
trial.
Recess was called to take vote on
the eligibility of Major Naylor to a
place on the court martial. This vote
was taken in private. all not members
Of the court being excluded.
On the opening of the doors and the
resumption Of the trial. it was stated
that the objections were not sustained
and Major Naylor resumed his place on
the court martial.
General Chase asked a postponement
Of the case because his chief counsel.
W. ]. Stoll, was not in the city.
After considerable discussion the
court went into closed session to de-
eide the question Of continuance of the

Messrs. Aylesworth and Jette carried
their outspoken disapproval Of the de-
cision to the point Of refusing to sign
even that section of the decision giving
the Portland canal to Canada, and they
emphasized their attitude by walking
out of the Cabinet room in the foreign

TROTTINQ RECORD
AGAIN BROKEN

Wichita, Oct. 20.-Such an ovation as
was given Cresceus when he trotted a
mile in 1:59N yesterday and made
q new worlds record. has rarely been
witnessed. The stallion was nearly
smothered to death. so eager were the
people to pat or get near enough to
touch him.
The day was simply perfect and the
track in prime condition. He was
paced by a running mate, Mike the
Tramp, to a sulky. Cresceus had no
wind break whatever.
The first quarter was made In 80
seconds. the half in 5sN. the three
quarters in one minute and thirty Sec
onds and the final mile in 1884.
Mr.. Ketchum worked the horse out
before the final test in 2:15 and then
sent him for the record. He broke
when he first scored for the word. but
ON the next attempt was sent OF. Just
before he reached the wire Cresceus
broke and 1t is believed he lost fully
three-quarters of a second. He caught
handily and flashed under the wire In
