SUPREME COURT MAY LOOK
INTO THE NEW SUMNER FEES

the loans which it is reported the old
man was asked To make.
The court has asked that a report be
made by Monday and in case the At
torney General finds sufficient evidence
to warrant disbarment proceedings
against the attorneys there will be an
immediate hearing. Judge Perry was
intending to leave on his vacation next
Monday, but if charges are brought he
will remain.
Attorney General Andrews said yes
terday that his investigation had not
been sufficiently prolonged to be able
to predict its outcome. The attorney
generals office is a triffle shorthand
ed at present and the investigation viii
necessarily have to be limited as the
Supreme Court desires a report next
week.
There are strong indications that
Sumner has been pressed very hard
by the accused lawyers or parties in
their interest. to testify that every
thing had been done in the matter OF
fees of his own free will and accord.
Cross examination, however. has
brought out many significant facts.

Committees Report Yesterday.
TRIAL TRIP OF THE MAINE.
Run to Culebera and Return Was Sue.
cesSful

The trial trip of the battle ship Maine to
Culebra and back has proven very success
full. The board has not made its official
report, but the records show the Niclausse
boilers have worked as well any other
tubuous boiler.
The voyage out was without incident.
save a hot crank pin, which necesstated
slowing down for several hours.
On arriving at Culebra the crank-pin
brasses were reftted and, for the purpose
OF inspection, the board of expert engineers
had sixty-four tubes cut out of the boilers.
The tubes were found to have about one
sixteenth of an inch of scale in them, be-
sides much grease. The scale was due to
the leaky evaporator. the back connection
OF which had corroded through in some
places.
The fact that the circulation in the boil
ers was not retarded by the grease in the
tubes - evidence that the circulation is
much better than had been expected by
some engineers.
The water level in the glass gauges ap-
peared as steady as in a Scotch boiler. 1t
would seem that the previous trouble with
the boilers was due to defective water
gauge glasses or thin fittings.
The report, 1T is expected, will terminate
the contention between the department and
the contractors

NAV be announced on Friday and it Is not
likely to be postponed beyond Saturday. It
is still open ito doubt whether the letting

road in this eeity5or by d. II. Burnham &
Co, the Chick gosearchitects, who appear
to have been Invested with very large
power by the management of the Pennsyl-

poration specially formed to take charge Of
the erection of the great terminal, and Of
which A. ]. CasSatt is president and Presi-
dent Loree of the Baltimore and Ohio vice

President Cassatt and his associates have

RUSSIANS FoRT1FY YoNaAMPHo.
This May Lead to Renewed Friction
With japan

YOKOHAMA, October 27.-Mysterious
movements of Russians in Corea continue
to be reported A detachment of 200 Rus
sian troops Is said to have crossed the river
Tumf into Corea, and another contingent of
forty Russians appeared at Wiju on Friday
last. and subsequently retired.
The newspapers here regard the situation
as being easier and believe that Baron de
Rosen, the Russian minister, and Foreign
Minister Komura are nearer to reaching an
agreement.
Following the announcement made here
yesterday that the Corean government
had protested against the Russian forth
cation of Yongampho, on the Yalu river,
official adviceS received at Toxic tend to
confirm the report that the Russians
have fortified that place. This may lead
to important developments. as the forth
fication of Yongampho would be an in
fringement Of Corean integrity.

IN A CoMATosE STATE.
James L. Blair's Friends Given Renew
ed Anxiety.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, October 27.-Anxiety Of
friends of James L. Blair was increased
this morning by the news that the patient
was still in a comatose state. The grand
jury will reconvene this afternoon to con-
tinue the investigation of the charges
against Blair. New witnesses will be sum-
moned, but no intimation of their identity
has been given. Assistant Circuit Attorney
Maroney this morning would neither affirm
nor deny the statement that he had sent to
Philadelphia and New York for witnesses.
From a statement made by the physicians
this afternoon 1t is plain that a crisis in
Mr.. Blair's condition is expected within the
next forty-eight hours. There is little doubt
that the means of artificial sustenance of
life have about been exhausted, and that
unless there shall be return of natural
vitality. Is hoped. the shadow of another
sorrow will darken the Blair home.
Mrs Blair seldom leaves her husbands
side. although there have been few moments
when he showed even a faint sign of recog
milton of her.
President Francis of the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition Company stated today
that all relations between James T.. Blair.
former general counsel of the corporation,
and the exposition were at an end.
''The secretary. week ago. sent Mr..
Blair the acceptance of his resignation"
said President Francis. "Since then have
had no communication with him. He is no
longer connected with the exposition in
any way. We do not owe him a cent nor
does he owe a cent
Two important features Of the part that
the police are playing in the investigation
of the Blair story came to light today. One
is the fact that James T. Roberts told his
story to Chief OF Detectives Desmond be-
fore he gave 1t to the grand jury last Fri
day The other is that Chief Desmond
has been trying for month or more to
locate Carey NJ. Blair a young brother of
James L. Blair, and has not been success
full.
Mrs Blair began today the sale of the
magnificent horses and carriages which
made the Blair stables the finest In the
vicinity of st. Louis.
