Midsbipman Meriweather.

Annapolis, Md. Nov. 23.-Before the
trial by the court martial of Midshipman
Minor Meriwesther, jr., is concluded,
their promises to be thrown into the issue
not only the circumstances of the fatal
encounter of November 5, but the en-
tire honor system of the Academy with
its remedy for breaches of MILDLY ETH
quette by personal combat. The de-
tense it is understood, will develope two
phases of the cases, first, that Meri-
weather was Systematically prosecuted
by the second Glars men, particularly
Branch, and second, that under the
time honored system his only recourse
was the policy he adopted in his affair
with Branch. 1t will be shown not
only that fighting is not prohibited at
the Academy, but has been tacitly and
expressly approved by the authorities.
From stories being related about the
campus, finish fight occurred the even
ing following the Observation-Disclosures
battle. There are said to have been all
told, some seven fights under the
code between classnen in Bancroft
Hall, since Branch's death. While
not a nightly occurrence, in the mid
shipman's dormitory, the customary
method of settling personal disputes by
fighting $50 lads must be rather frequent
ly invoked. Nevertheless, the record of
eight fights in less than three weeks is
considered "going some" even by the
old officers. The second days session
of the court martial commenced at 10
O'Clock this morning. Midshipman
Meriwether was accompanied to court
by his counsel, Lieut. Commander Robin
son, and his uncle, Colonel w. @. Nc
Mutt, of Memphis.
Rear Admirrl Mccormick moved that
the judge advocate be instructed to seek
more suitable quarters for the accOmO'
dation of the court. The court may
move later to Bancroft Hall.
Captain Mark read the record of the
trial preliminaries yesterday, and dis
tributed among the witnesses, who APP
peared yesterday, copies of their testi-
mony for approval. These formalities
occupied the better part of an hour.
To prove that midshipmen have ac-
cess TO the naval regulations which pro-
hibit fighting between persons 10 the
navy, Captain Mark called Lieutenant
Commander II. j. Ziegmeier, executive
officer on the training ship Hartford,
during last summers practice cruise.
He testified that Meriwether was on the
cruise, and during that time the regula-
tions were read to the midshipmen and
were posted on the gun deck for the in
formation OF all hands.
Branch's injury and the operation to
save his life, were described by Lieuten-
ant Commander J. A. Stone, chief med
ical officer of the academy.
Admiral Mccormick asked DR.. Stone if
he was prepared to swear that Branch's
Drain trouble and death were not caused
by diseased arteries.
81 am not prepared so to swear" res
ponded the witness. "In the absence
of an autopsy, which was forbidden by
the father, | cannot say certainly what
caused DEATH"

TOday's Telegraphic News
Turkeys Troubles.

Constantinople, Nov. %. Via the from
tier) The Porte has received advices
from Macedonia to the effect that if the
Sultan accepts the plans of the European
powers for international control of the
finances of Macedonia, be will seriously
weaken the loyalty ofthe Turks in Mace
donna. This news, in connection with
the renewed activity on the part of the
young Turkish party since the Russian
revolution has been in progress is causing
the greatest uneasinese to the advisers OF
the Sultan. The Sutan's counselors
fear the possibility of revolution in
Turkey in the near future and are
greatly worried over the prospect.
An important ministerial council was
held this week at the Yildiz Kiosk which
lasted for two hours 1t is understood
that at this time the possibility of the
Sultan being obliged to grant constitu-
ton to Turkey was discussed, but is not
known what decision was reached.
Vice Admiral Husni Pasha left here
last night in a special steamer for the
Dardanelles, and it is understood he is
the bearer of instructions to the
commander of the forts there as to
tie course to be pursued in the event of
the appearance there of the international
feet selecte3 10 make the demonstration
against Turkey to force her to agree to
international contrOls of Macedonian
finances. The Vice Admiral also carries
similar instructions to the governors OF
the various islands of the archipelago.
A statement from high authority today
confirms the earlier reports that the Porte
has refused absolutely the demand for
financial control of Macedonia by the
powers and will only agree to the exten.
sion to two years of the terms of the civil
agents of Austria and Russia. The Mace
donian situation consequently is regard
ed as very grave.
Paris, Nov. 23.-The evening papers
contain disquieting dispatches from Con-
stantinOple an to the Macedonian sltua-
ton. One report is to the effect that
the Sultan of Turkey has ordered am
munitions of war in Germany to the
value of 22,500, 900 Turkish pounds.
This is said to be the consideration
which led Germany to abstain from TAX
ing any part in the proposed demonstra
tic against Turkey. Another dispatch
says that the Sultan has notified the
foreign ambassadors in Constantlnople
that he will not be responsible for any
acts of violence due to Mohammedan
fanaliclsm which may result from the
demonstration. This is considered in
diplomatic circles to be an open provo
cation on the part of the Sultan.
Berlin, Nov. 23.-The Kleine Jour-
nal says that Bulgaria has threatened to
occupy Macedonia unless Turkey con-
sents to the plans of the powers for inter
national control of Macedonian finances.
Bulgaria regards the present crisis when
the powers are threatening to back their
programme with a show of force, as
offering favorable opportunity for her
to play her own game in Macedonia
Prince Ferdinand aspires to annex Ma
cedonis and proclaim himself as king OF
greater Bulgaria.

THE Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Record-Herald writes that
leading politicians are now predicting
that Mr.. Roosevelt will be nominated
by the democrats and Endorsed by the
republicans for President in 1908. He
says that a movement in this direction
has already been launched as the out
come of the Presidents triumphsl tour
Of the South. He calls to witness a
