Sanctioned II.

Annapolis, Nov 25.-Today's sessions Of
the court martial which is trying Mid
shipman Meriwether in connection with
the death after a fight. OF AIidshipman
James A. Branch. jr., were very largely
occupied with testimony Of classmates OF
the accused and members Of the first class
of the naval academy. The evidence was
intended by the defense to show that
Branch harbored animosity against Meri-
Wether and prosecuted him, and also that
the existence OF the practice of fighting
was known 10 and in manner connived
at by high officials of the naval acade-
my.
Prominent officers Of the navy mem
toned in this connection were Admiral
Willard II. Brownson, now commanding
the cruiser division of the North Atlantic
fleet, who was the predecessor Of Admiral
James ii. Sands as superintendent of the
naval academy: Captain Charles j. Had
ger, who was succeeded as cOmmandant
OF mldshipment by the presenl command

Ceded Captain Badger in the same office.

terror, and have now opened a regular
campaign against NJ. Durnovo, min

Mr.. Anderson is said TO be only one
or several Republican county chairmen
in Utah who received bundles of franked
envelopes last san with REQUESTS To adj

IN many cases, il is said the county
chairmen did not know the contents of
the envelopes, but, presuming that they
were all right, addressed and mailed
them as requested.
The Herald last fall directed attention
to the fact that the Republican state
committee was using the congressional
frank freely in Salt Lake City. In
cluded in envelopes addressed to residents
of the city, in addison to speeches, etc.
that were matters of public record, were
extracts from the "Commoner' of July

n ONDITIoNS of the banks OF Salt
IL Lake City continue to attract at
tention at home ana abroad. The
clearings have made a record for the
year that is remarkable. The increase
has been so great and so uniform that
the residents of this city have come
to look upon them as a matter OF
course. This is not the case with the
