ROCHE MUST EXPLAIN.
Summoned in Connection With De-
livery Of Ship to Russia.

LONDON, December 6-Summonses have
been issued at Bow street police court
against Burke Roche and Mr.. Sinnett, in
connection with the delivery of the turbine
yacht Caroline to the Russians at Libau,
early in October last The action was taken
at the instance of the public prosecutor.
The summonses will not be heard before
December IL at the earliest.
The Caroline was purchased from the
Yarrow Shipbuilding Company with the UNI
derstanding that she was to be used for
racing in American waters. Suspecting that
the purchasers might transform the yacht
into a torpedo boat, the Yarrow Ship
building Company notified the government
of the sale. Receiving no word from the
authorities the company made the trans
fer. and on October the Caroline sailed,
ostentibly for Hamburg.
The vessel was taken through the Kiel
canal under the direction of German pilots.
and later reached Libau. where she was de-
livered to the Russian naval authorities.
The transaction has been attributed to
Burke Roche a former member of the Brit
ish parliament and well known In America,
although person known as "Mr. Sinnett'
OF New York was the ostensible purchaser.

Ideal Localities for Literary Work.

Mrs Maybrick believes the suburban
places of Washington will be ideal localities
in which to continue her literary work next
spring and summer and feels that there is
an inspiration for such labors in the very
atmosphere of the Capitol city and it's his
toric surroundings. She will leave here at
4:3O this evening for New York. She was in
consultation today with Mr. Samuel v. Hay
den, one of her attorneys in the preparation
for the trial. of the suit against David W.
Armstrong, to set aside certain deeds made
to his agent for him while he was the at
torney for the. recovery of certain lands in
Kentucky Virginia and West Virginia and
to recover from Mr. Armstrong large sum
of money received for said lands. 1t being
alleged that he took advantage of his posi-
ton as attorney in these transactions.

UNDER INVESTIGATION
LIEUT.. BROWNS DEATH REGARD
ED AS MYSTERIOUS.
Sudden Change for the Worse Unex
plained-An Autopsy Performed
This Afternoon.

Morris HI. Brown, a lieutenant of the
junior grade in the army, died at Providence
Hospital this morning about 7:30 o'clock.
His death occurred under circumstances
which caused doubt in the mind of the
coroner, and an autopsy had to be perform
ed this afternoon to determine the cause.
Lieut.. Brown had been patient in the
hospital for several days, and was to have
been discharged today as cured. A change
for the worse came this morning at an early
hour, however. and his death occurred
about the time stated.
The deceased was twenty-eight years old,
and had served in Manila. He returned
from the Philippines about two months ago
and went to Indiana. Ten days ago he
came here, and soon afterward became Ill,
his condition being such that hospital treat
ment was regarded as necessary.
Tired of the Service.
1t was stated that he had failed to ap-
pear for an examination last Tuesday, the
second time he had been notified, and had
told friends that he was tired of the whole
business.ss ne had EXPRESSED a desire to
leave the service, but had not said he would
resigIho The change in his condition came
SO suddenly this morning that it was feared
he had taken dose of medicine which the
doctors had not prescribed. AT $50 o clock
the nurse, found his breat hing was heavier
than usual, and little later he was found
dead. -.
1t was stated that after returning to this
country he visited relatives in Indiana. He
was to have taken his examination last
Tuesday, but went to the hospital instead
and was under treatment at the time the
exarnina ton was held.
Acting Deputy Coroner Baker performed
an autopsy at the hospital this afternoon.

were conveyed to Prof. Hird. the health Of

MRS. MAVERICK HERE

Speaks With Enthusiasm of Improve
ments Made Since 1887-Goes
to New York.

Mrs. Florence Elizabeth Maybrick has
been in Washington since last Saturday
afternoon in consultation with her attor-
neys, Messrs Hayden & Yarrell.
Mrs. Maybrick had not been in Wash
ington since 1887 She took an automobile
drive about the city Sunday and was much
pleased with the splendid improvements
that have been made since her last visit.
She thinks the streets of Washington are
equal to the boulevards of Paris and says
the city has charm all its own not to be
found anywhere in the old world. She could
not sufficiently express her admiration of
the new Congressional Library and the

Many Organizations Expected.

Indications point to a record breaking at
tendance of organizations of the National
Guard throughout the country. Unofficial
reports from Maryland, Pennsylvania and
New York show great enthusiasm on the
part of members of the militia and some
commanders have gone SO far as to an
nounce they will not receive enlistments be-
tween January 1 and March 4, 1905, for the
reason that they do not want to appear in
the INAUGURAL parade with poorly drilled
men. The personal popularity of President
Roosevelt, particularly with those inclined
toward the military will serve to bring
into Washington for the inaugural cere-
monies one of the most splendid pageants
In histoy. and as imposing. if not as unique
as the famous durbar of India.
General Wilson, as chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee, and Lieutenant General
Chaffee, as grand marshal, insure the en-
thusiasm of the regular army; the presence
of Admiral Dewey on the executive board
will bring many attachments from the
naval vessels, while Samuel GOmpers, also
member of the executive committee, will
doubtless swing into line as many of the
organized labor bodies can be mustered
together
The application received at headquarters

Star, from the st. Paul Cadets, local or
ganization of about LOCO colored boys, is

what Is perhaps the most luxurious Office in
Washington. Each gentleman has hand

a large mahogany table in the center of the

heard to comment on all this elegance, and
some have been so unkind as to say that
when the bills have been paid there VIII be
very little left for the inaugural ceremonies.
As matter of fact, both General Wilson
and Mr.. Hitchcock are priding themselves
on the economy with which the committee
has begun it's work.

Contributions to the guarantee fund TOT

amounts, which he purposes making public
Thursday after the organization of the In

clares that he will surprise the people Of

WET SHEETS AND FLOWlNG DEAD.
A GRAY sky and an angry sea.
~ A solitary ship in the
IN waste of waters, staggering
along in roaring gale
from the west; every rag OF canvas
that could safely be spread-ay, and
even more-urging her forward be-
fore the fierce wind; driving her madly
through the tossing waves. A lonely,
restless man upon her deck passing
the long weary hours on the forecastle
looking eagerly ahead, ever ahead;
turning like a devotee his face to the
east, pointing his vessel toward the
rising sun; though driven aside by the
happenings of the sea, returning to his
goal with the accuracy and the per-
sistency with which the polar needle
swings toward its star.
Some 200 leagues ahead Of the fri
gate, with the man on the knight
heads peering fruitlessly across the
dark expanse of tossing water, another
vessel, driven in like manner, steadily
pursued its course for the same des-
tination. AS If conscious Of the un-
wearying, indomitable pursuit, she,
too, made her way onward madly,
recklessly, crossing the great deep.
Skill and seamanship Of the highest
type were at her service as well. A
willingness to drive was there In al
most as great measure, for this ship
was homeward bound. When she
dropped anchor in the waters OF
France, those aboard of her, now held
prisoner by the heavy-linked chain Of
honor, would be free.
And a woman hung over the quar-
ter of the second ship listening indif-
ferently to words of sweetness, re-
spending not at all to passionate plead
ings that fell upon her ear; a woman,
turning her eyes back toward the west,
gazing upon the setting sun that had
carried down to darkness with 1t her
maiden heart; woman marking the
long white wake of the ship, her sad
ness growing greater, her regret deep
ening, deepening with each swiftly
passing league.
And yet the lonely woman on the
quarterback with the infrequent SUM-
light losing itself in her midnight hair,
with her violet eyes staring back
ward, backward, backward, from out
pale face whose whiteness matched
the foaming wave, was drawing on
as surely and irresistibly as the load
stone the needle, the eager man upon
the other ship.
"I think there can be no doubt Of
our observations, captain. You see
we have had double check on them
by working them out independently. !"
Eyes, we have made no mistake,
am sure, and yet there are always
happenings for which allowance must
be made; things that no mind, no in
strument, can check on the sea-"
"True. sir: but 1t has all been plain

to take possession, marched gaily by
amid the silence Of the people looking
gloomily on.
There was step outside on the stair.
De Vitre, pale and haggard, entered
the room.
Monsieur de Vitre!" cried the girl,
surprised and disquieted. What
means this unceremonious entrance?"
"Mademoiselle Anne" answered the
Frenchman, bowling profoundly, forgive
my haste, the city has surrendered.
The English troops are approaching.

"The English soldiers war not upon
women, Monsieur de Vitre," inter-
rupted Grafton sharply, leaning for
ward, his face full of color at the
presence of his rival. Besides. l am
here"
But you are i'll, sir, and while ]
respect the English soldiers, there are
always evil-minded persons in the
wake Of an army, and surrender brings
out all the vicious elements in our
own population. / love Mademoiselle
de Rohan, as you know. She Is be-

"And you are right, Monsieur de
Vitre. I doubt not I shall need your
protection" said Anne, determined at
last that all should be ended now.
seMademoiselle, you honor me-" cried
the oSHghted Frenchman. IT hope to
deserve your confidence now and al
Hays"
in spite Of his jealous anguish, Philip
could not refuse to accord his rival a
NEED Of praise. He was a tall, hand
some, gallant-looking sailor, whose
every movement was full Of grace.
There was no doubt as to the depth OF
his affection for Anne de Rohan either.
A hard task indeed was before Master
Philip Grafton.
