GORDON RoWk DISABLED.
New Haven Oyster Boat Picked Up by
 the RueII Rowe.

Westbrook, Nov. 23.-Early this aft ernoon the oyster steamer Gordon Rowe of New Haven broke down off this point and immediately sent up a call forl help. There was no boat around to give any help and on &C., count of the low tide the keeper of the Duck island lighthouse, Joseph Smith
 was unable to make his way to the steamer in a launch. Captain Smith telephoned to New London for 8 tug but was unable to get one, and as night came on he set out for the Corn field Reef lightship, not far distant. When Captain Smith reached the light ship the distress whistle of the Cor don Rowe indicated that the steamer had drifted to a point about four miles southwest of the ship. After blowing almost necessarily for some time the calls ceased, and it was learned that the Ruell Rowe, also belonging to Hen " C.. Rowe of New Haven, came to the Gordon Rowe's assistance, and, it is believed, lowed her to New Haven.

BRANCH DIED FROM MERIWETHER'S BLOWS
POSITIVE CONVICTION OF ALL THE MEDICAL OFFICERS
 TESTIFYING.

Defense Tries to Prove That Death
 Might Have Been Due to Organic
 Weakness or to UnskilIed Treatment
 Received at Hands of Friends After
 Fight-Physicians Give it as Their
 Opinion That No Doctor Could Have
 Saved Him.
 Annapolis, Md, Nov. 23.-The prose cution used it's heavy artillery in the line of medical testimony during to- days session of the court-martial which is trying Midshipman Meri- Wether for manslaughter in connec- tion with the death of Midshipman Branch, important witnesses being Dr. J. NJ. T. Finney, chief surgeon of the Johns Hopkins university of Balti- more; Dr. Henry M. Thomas, neurolo- gist of the same institution, and J. c. Byrne the chief medical officer at- tached to the naval academy.
 The operation upon Midshipman Branch, consisting of lifting and fold ing over a portion of the skull in or der to remove such blood clots as might
 
 ney and Dr, Thomas, the specialist in that line, who came to Annapolis at pr. Finney's request in order to locate from the symptoms the proper place for the operation. Dr. Byrne was called in consultation with Dr. Stone shortly after Branch had been brought to the hospital
 Much evidence of @ deeply interest ing though technical character was given by the medical men. The injury was of the nature medically known as 'contrecoup," the blows to the skull on one side of the head having the effect of forcing the brain against the walls of the skull on the other side, and causing the compression in that way.
 All the medical officers gave it as their very positive conviction that Branch died from the effect of the blows he had received in his fight with Meriwether. The cross-examination was for the purpose of proving that the death might have been due to organic weakness in Branch or to the unskilled treatment he received from his friends after the fight, and the delay in giving him into the care of the physicians. Stress was laid on the fact that no autopsy was held, and the admission was elicited that 3 more certain opinion as to the immediate cause of the death could be . given if the autopsy had been held. However, the physicians testified most positively that it was their profession al opinion that the blows and nothing else had contributed to his death. The medical witnesses also belittled any possible effect of the treatment Branch received after the fight and gave it as their opinion that no treatment could have saved his life. The absence of an autopsy was explained by Surgeon Byrnes, who stated that Branch's fa- ther refused his permission.

FATE OF BALFOUR CABINET
WELL FOUNDED REPORT IT
 WILL RESIGN TO-DAY.

Crisis Precipitated by Leading Govern
 ment Organs Suggesting the Immedi-
 ate Resignation of the Premier on
 Account of the UnmendabIe Breach
 Over the Fiscal Question-Sugges-
 tiOn Probably Inspired by Balfour
 Himself. @fqg "=~ >=@
 London, Nov, 23.-Tremendous activi- ty developed in political circles to- day consequent on the circulation of a well founded report that Premier Bal four had decided to bring his ministry to a close tomorrow and to directly or indirectly appeal to the country. Ru- mors regarding the resignation of the cabinet and the dissolution of parlia- ment have been thick for three months past, but when two of the leading gov ernment organs to-day almost in the same terms ''suggested'' the immediate resignation of the premier on account of the unmendable breach in the union ist party over the fiscal question, the suggestion was looked upon as haV- ing been inspired by MT, Balfour him self. This was strengthened by the knowledge that prior to the publiea- tion of the editorials, MT. Balfour met certain influential persons at his official residence in Downing street. There two facts when coupled led to the be- lief that the premier had intimated at the. conference his intention to resign, and as he had just returned from a visit to King Edward at Windsor castle it was believed that his majesty had been informed of MT. Balfour's inten- tions. Beyond this, however, there is not the slightest official confirmation of the report. s:%&
 All political interest now centers in the cabinet meeting to be held to-mor- row, at which it is understood the sit uation will be discussed Some well informed persons go so far as to say that MT. Balfour will go from. the meeting to King Edward with the res ignations of himself and the other members of the cabinet. ,. s.
 The conservative and unionist papers are in favor of the resignation of the cabinet, which will place the liberals on the defensive in case Sir Henry ampbell-Bannerman consents to form a cabinet, but the radicals say that the resignation will only mean dissolu- tion as Sir Henry, if requested to form a ministry, would certainly de- cline to do so until the verdict of the people became known. The liberal pa- pers point out that while MT Balfour may attempt this tactical nove' they are confident it wiH fail on every side and that, therefore, the dissolution of parliament is believed to be imminent There is not thought, however, that a political campaign will be forced prior to the beginning of the year with the election somewhere about the end of January.

 engagement With Companies to sup-
 press It.
 New York, Nov. 2S.-Late this alter noon Mr. Hughes, counsel of the legis- lative insurance investigating commit tee, called to the witness chair William s. Manning Of Albany, referred to in letters addressed by John A. Nichols to Senator c. M. DepeW, and read at a previous session as the .rantanker- ous friend up the river" Mir Manning was the most interesting witness of the day, and was questioned closely by Mir. Hughes as to his connection with life insurance. He detailed his work for various companies for many years, and worked gradually up to the time when he took up insurance work in Albany, and as he testified, was paid $450 a year by John A. Nichols ..to protect life insurance interests, always in the interests of the business, not in the interests of the officers
 After several years. he said. this amount was reduced to $500. He did not know, he said; where Mir. Nichols was getting the money, and had never inquired He denied he had ever re- eeived money from the Equitable Life Assurance society. When his fec was reduced, however, he said. he under stood that the Equitable, the Mutual Life, and the New York Life had each paid s150, and that the reduction was due to the fact that the New York Life dropped out of the agreement
 An interesting part of his testimony was reached when Mir. Hughes incurred concerning the state insurance inyes- tigation of 1877. Manning said he acted as an expert and found that the reports of the proceedings were ''garb- led and untrue" He testified that he secured corrected report of the pro- ceedings from the official stenographer and had volume printed, the alleged gambled parts being printed sn italics This report was sold to some insurance company for $50 a copy. The volume was copyrighted, but Mir Manning de- elined to admit that this copyright was secured to prevent the publication of testimony contained in the work. He denied also that he mad ever made arrangements with insurance conpan- ies to stop the publication Of his book. T just gave 1t up,' he said, when MT. Hughes inquired.
 The committee adjourned while MT. Manning was on the stand. until to- morrow morning.

 The friends of Count Witte on the floor made a stout fight against the provision of a direct ballot, the one concession which the premier consid- cred it impossible to grant, but this provision was carried over their heads by a two-thirds majority.
 The resolution in it's final form is substantially the same as, cabled yes terday. The committee to which it was referred for further consideration made numerous alterations in the phraseology, but little change in the substance, except the insertion of de- mand for the immediate abolition of martial law in Poland as among the measures believed to be imperative be- fore the convocation of the douma.

MORE ELECTION ARRESTS
TOUR NEW FORK INSPECTORS
 TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.

Accused of Neglect of Duty-NIagni-
 tude of the Investigation Increased--
 Two Prison Sentences for Illegal
 VOting-McCIeIIan Will Be Hold
 over Mayor After December 31-Point
 Raised by Hearst.
 New York, Nov Exchanged with neglect of duty four inspectors of cleo tion who on election day served in the polling places of the Fifteenth election district of the 18th assembly district, were arrested tonight on bench war rants signed by Recorder Golf and talk 5en to oprison. The prisoners are George Rice, Joseph Pokorney, Charles Muse and Gustave Wooley. Except for Po- korney the arrested men are said to be democrats. Pokorney being republi- can inspector. It is alleged the inspec- tors refused to endorse and separate by placing in envelopes those ballot pro- tested or declared void at the request of the watchers in the polling places. It is charged that the ballots were unlaw- fully placed in the ballot boxes.
 The magnitude of the election fraud investigation was increased to-day by several new cases. John Elder waa l@eld in $10,00O bail charged with illegal voting and perjury and James Galla- gher was held in $5,OOO bail on a charge of perjury.
 Frank D. Batzig, Tammany mem Der of 8 board of election inspectors, was arrested on a charge of neglect of duty and was held in $5,0OO bail.
 w. R. Hearst's lawyers claimed that ninety-one votes were found in one election district which should have been counted for Hearst and were not. The county board of canvassers is in- vestigating the tally sheets on which this discrepancy is said to have ap- peared.
 Two sentences for illegal voting were passed to-day by the supreme court Thomas Halle, who confessed that he voted illegally under the name of Thomas Hall, received an indeterminate sentence of not less than a year and ten months The same sentence was meted out to Thomas D. Brennan, who pleaded guilty to voting. on another mans name.
 Counsel for W. R. Hearst to-day rais- ed the legal point that Mayor Mcclellan will be mayor of New York only as a hold-over after December 31 next, un- less MT. Hearsts fight for a recount is ended before that time. This is said to be due to the fact that under an or der issued last week by Justice Amend, of the supreme court, the board of can- vassers of New York county cannot is- sue a certificate of election either to Mayor Mcclellan or the comptroller or president of the board of aldermen un- til the proceedings attending the move ment for recount are ended.

DIRECTORY FIGHT
Decision That Reprinting of Names by
 Another Concern is Illegal.

DNGAhAuM 4HAE hEnEAMEknE 0X Names By
 Another Concern is Illegal.
 Boston, Nov. 23.-The republication of names found fin one copyrighted city directory by another concern is held to be unjustifed and an infringement of copyright by the United States cir cult court of appeals in a decision sent down to-day. The decision was in a suit of the Sampson 6 Murdock com pany against the Seaver- r-Radford com pany and it reverses g. decree of Judge Hale, who held that such action was Ie- gally justified. The petitioners published one Boston directory and the defend ants another. The petitioners claimed that the re-printing of 20,0OO names, which constituted F per cent, of the alphabetical part of their copyrighted directory even after taking them from the directory and using them for verifi- cation purposes, constituted an in- fringement. The court of appeals up holds this contention.
