MERIWETHER'S FATE
 IN HANDS OF COURT
ARGUMENTS FOR DEFENSE AND
 PROSECUTION CONCLUDED.

Court Cleared at Once and COnsIdera-
 tiOn of Verdict Begun--COunseI for
 Accused Declares in Arguing Case
 That if Accused is Convicted of Any
 thing Further Than Disorder He Will
 be Made a Vicnrious Sacrifice for a
 System and for the Sins of Genera
 tiOns-Had to Fight.
 Annapolis, Nov. 3O. Except for the announcement of the verdict after il shall have been passed upon by the secretary of the navy, the Meriwethel court martial, insofar as the public is concerned, is at an end.
 To-day was almost wholly given ovei to arguments of counsel before the court which is trying Midshiprnan Mer. iwether on charges, the most serious oi which is manslaughter in connection with the death of Midshipman James R. Branch, ir., after a fist fight 1T which he and Meriwether engaged James M. Munroe and Lieutenant Com. mander John K Robinson spoke in de. fense of the accused and Judge Advo. cate Mark and United States District Attorney John c. Rose for the prosecu. tion. At the conclusion of the address of MT. Rose the court was cleared anG consideration of the verdict begun.
 Attorney Monroe in his argument said: If Meriwether Is convicted ot anything further than disorder he vii be made vicarious sacrifice for a sys, tenn and for the sins of generations, il they be sins. A condition has beer shown in this case which makes 1t i'm possible that the accused should have refrained from the fight.
 we find that officers having charge of the interior discipline of the acad. emy had a hazy idea of the position of fighting under these regulations. Il was clearly established that fights fol personal insults were not to be investi. gated. We have shown that officers ad. vised fihts, and that they have refused to punish fighters when they have found that fights were on account ot personal matters. Meriwether therefore had every reason to believe that fights for personal reasons were not opposed.

QUAKERS DEFEAT THE

FAILURE TO HEEL EICE0UT FROM TOUCHDOWN COSTS

 Close of the Game-TOward the End
 Cornell weakened-Her Left Guard

 for Deliberately Striking steveuson-
 Other Games.
 Philadelphia, Nov. S0.-Pennsylvan to-day defeated Cornell in their annual football game by the score of to 5, the narrow margin of a goal deciding the contest. It was the most stubbornly- contested game that has been seen on Franklin field this season, and it vas only after Cornell had been weakened by substitutions that the Pennsyfva- nians were able to cross the Ithacans goal line. For one hour the local elev- en had been held in check and really outplayed by the visitors, and it began to look as though Cornell was to be the victor, but after they had made theIr touchdown and the eleVens had changed goals Pennsylvania, aided by the stiff wind, gradually forced the ball down the field for touchdown.
 In the first half Cornell outplayed Pennsylvania except in kicking. The visitors gained 125 yards by rushing, against 72 for Pennsylvania. Twice they had the ball within striking dis tance of the Quaker goal line, but each time Pennsylvania braced and took the ball.
 E The score does not correctly show tho .reative strength of the two elevens, for Pennsylvania fumbling habit prevents ed the local eleven from scoring at least two additional toaIchdoWns. Twice they pushed the ball from midfield to within five yards of the Cornell goal, but on both occasions there was a tumble and the Ithaca boys kicked the ball out of. danger.
 Pennsylvania did not play with its usual dash and plainly showed the eff fects of the Columbia game last Satug- day. Cornell, on the other hand, was an superb condition.
 Neither team scored in the first half. but early in the second han Corne4l, aided by the wind, forced the ball we'll within Pennsylvania territory. After Cornell had carried the ball to Penn sylyania's twenty-yard line the Quak- CTS held firmly and took 1t away from the Ithacans. Sheble kicked, but the wind held the ball back and Cornell got it on Pennsylvania's fifty yard line From this point the visitors carried 1t over for a touchdown without losing t. Their main ground gainer was re- yolying mass on tackle, which the Pennsylvania eleven seemed unable to stop. The touchdown was made at the corner of the gridiron and the punt-ort was not heeled by Halliday, who drop- ned to the ground. This failure cost Cornell the point which would have tied the score. z
 The eleyens thfen changed goals ana sheble was able to outkick Walder on an average of from ten to fifteen yards. Pennsylvania soon got the ball on Cor nelps thirty-five-yard line. About this time Captain Costello and Half backs Walder and Gibson, who had been the mainstay of the Cornell eleven, were forced to quitsthe game because of the

JEWS CELEBRATE.
Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary
 of Landing Here.

Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary
 of Landing Here.
 New York, Nov. 3O-In celebration of the two hundred and fiftieth anniver- sary of the landing of the Jews in America, a meeting was held in Car negie hall to-day, at which addresses were delivered by former President Grover Cleveland, Governor Frank w. Higgins, of New York; Mayor George B. Mcclellan, of New York city; Bishop Coadjutor David Greer, of sthe New York diocese of the Protestant Episco- pal church; Mayer Sulzeberger and Rev. F. Pereirra Mendes. President Roosevelt, who was unable to attend, sent a significant letter which was read to the great audience.
 Vice-President Charles w. Fairbanks telegraphed from Washington his re- grets and an appreciation of the Jewish character.
 Jacob H. Schiff, chairman of the ex- ecutjve committee which arranged the celebration, presided and Dr. Frank Damrosch had charge of the musical programme.
 President Roosevelt in his letter said the lamentable and terrible suffering to which so many of the Jewish people in other lands have been subjected made him feel 1t his duty as the head of the American people to express his deep sympathy for the sufferers. At the same time he took advantage of the opportunity to point out what fine quail ities of citizenship have been displayed by the Jews who have come to this country and have enjoyed the benefits of free institutions and equal treatment before the law.
 Mr. Cleveland took for his theme also the progress of the Jews under the free institutions of America and their help in nation building under the influence of toleration and equality.
 All of the addresses were in congrat- ulatory vein, and references were made to the recent atrocities in Russia only as one of the trials which have beset the Jewish people, but which have not daunted their spirit nor stopped their march to success where political con- ditions have permitted.

HAMILTON FOUND IN PARIS
HAS BEEN TAKING CURE AT BAD
 NAUHEIM SPRINGS.

Former Confidential Legislative Agent
 of the Insurance Companies at AL.
 bany Denies He Has Been in Hiding
 Preparing Reply to Request of In-
 vestigating Committee for Surrender
 of His Papers.
 Paris, Nov. 30-The correspondent of the Associated Press to-day found An drew Hamilton, who was confidential legislative representative of the insrr- ance companies at Albany, and had half an hours talk with him concern ing his plans and his answer to the re. quest of the Armstrong insurance com mittee that he give orders to his agents in New York to surrender his papers to the committee and that he so to New York and testify. #.
 MT. Hamilton arrived here few days ago from Bad Nauheim Springs, where he had been taking the cure under the care of doctors. He looks fairly well. His face is rrddy, but he complains of the effect of his ailment, and remains under the doctors treatment pending their determination as to whether it will be necessary for him to resume the cure at the springs.
 When seen by the correspondent MT. Hamilton was with one of his intimate friends, who is familiar with his affairs and who explained some details which MT. Hamilton did not wish to be pub licly discussed at this time. MT. Ham ilton did not seek to avoid the meeting. On the contrary he said that he had not the slightest desire to conceal his whereabouts, although owing to his continued i'll health, and the attention required in making up his answer to the Armstrong committee, he did not desire to see visitors.
 Answering the correspondent re- quest for a statement concerning his reply to the committees requests, MT. Hamilton dictated the following reply:
 'I am preparing reply to the re- quests of the committee, which will be sent when completed to President, Me- Call of the New York Life Insurance company"
 MT. Hamilton said this was the only formal statement he would now make, but, continuing his formal talk, he pointed out that it would be manifestly improper to disclose or discuss the na- ture of his reply before 1t had been submitted to the committee. Moreover, eza sHaea T. 1r. reply, 50 that his work was not yet completed. /.
 'You can say, however, ," MT. Hauil- ton added, "that my answer will be complete You can also say that Pres ident Mccall undoubtedly will submit my reply to the committee"
 Concerning the length of his reply, MT. Hamilton said he could not say anything. The correspondent suggest ed that Mr. Hamilton might give his

scHWAB WOULD BE 4 SENATOR.
Planning to Succeed Francis NJ. New
 lands of Nevada.

Washington, Nov. 30.-Charles M. schwab is planning to become senator from Nevada, succeeding Francis M. Newlands, whose term expires in 1900. This announcement comes from Neva- da, where it is understood that Schwab in seeking the senatorial prize has all ready obtained a residence. has invest ed heavily in new gold fields and is building a home.
 MT. schwab will be very strong by 1908, when the legislature will be se- lected that will name Newland's suc- cessor. The states population will at least double from 1900 to 1910, so MT. Schwab will be no newer citizen than half the state.
 Nevada especially needs mills and smelters to handle its ore, and Schwab promises these. If he gives them he will be regarded a philanthropist, the father fthe new Nevada, and any thing he asks will be his.

 After Short Fight

After Short Fight
 St. Petersburg, Nov. 3O-The admiral ty announces that it has received from General, Kaulbars, governor general of Odessa, the following telegram address ed to him by Vice Admiral Chouknin at Sebastopol, dated November 29:
 we wished to terminate the affair on November 2S by surrounding the mu- tinous division with troops and issuing an ultimatum for unconditional sur- render. The mutineers, however, com menced to attack on the night 6f Mo- vember 27. seizing the torpedo boat Svirepoi and three others which had drawn near the cruiser Otchakoff. "All these vessels hoisted red flags, after which the Otchakoff flew the sig nal that Lieutenant Schmidt was in command of the fleet. Then the lieu tenant, who was on board the Svirepoi, sailed along the squadron, his crews cheering, but the other vessels did not respond to these cheers.
 Lieutenant Schmidt afterwards pro- ceeded to the port and released those who had been arrested under his or ders.
 Armed detachments of mutineers continued to seize the small craft in the harbor which were not guarded by troops.
 Armed parties in sloops from the Otchakoff went to the Panteleimon, on which there were no arms, captured the officers and took them on board the Otchakoff.

 from Vice Admiral ChOuI<im-LIeu-

 Thousand Reported to Have Perished
 on Both Sides.
 St. Petersburg, Nov. S0.-The most alarming indication of the spread of disaffection in the army extending even to the regiments near the person of the emperor, was given in the arrest at Tsarskoe-Selo to-day of a number of soldiers belonging to the Yellow Cuiras- siers of the Guard, the Hussars of the Guard and the Life Guard Rifemen for presenting a series of petitions, includ- ing one again the use of troops for po- lice purposes.
 The regiments in question are those which have been specially selected by General Trepoff to guard the emperor and his family. They have been count ed upon as being loyal to the last, ready even to be torn to pieces in de- fense of his majesty, like the Swiss Guard of Louis XVI. Their arrest, however, although not for open sedi- tion, shows how the leaven of discon- tent is working, even within the pre- cincts of the imperial park at Tsarskoe- Selo.
 The incident gave rise to most alarm ing rumors in St. Petersburg, including one to the effect that the emperor actu- ally had been attacked and that a grand duke had been wounded while defending him, but the Associated Press is assured by a member of the inper- ial entourage at Tsarskoe- Selo that this is absolutely untrue.
 At roll call to-day in the St. Peter and St. Paul fortress the artillerymen demanded the immediate release Of the soldiers who were recently arrested at the electrical school. The commander of the fortress compiled with the demand.
