Midshipmen Were Good Witnesses.

M1dSh1pmen Were Good Witnesses.
Before the noon adjournment 1t was
stated that there were still a number of
witnesses for the defense. These will be
called, it is understood, to further establish
the systematic persecution of Meriwether
by Branch, and to show that it was imper-
alive, according to the unw,1tten code, for
Meriwether to demand an explanation from
Branch and force him to fight

closed his eyes during the recital of fights

were recalling his own days in the acad-

Much of the testimony was evidently not
to the liking of the judge advocate, and
in his cross-examination he hailed the wit

he had been in the cross-trees of a brig.
But the midshipmen took these explosions

During the recess Admiral Sands received
notice from Washington that the body or

Attitude Of the Commandant. v
Midshipman Chaplin. first class man. said
that in his first year he had been reported
for fighting when the inspection officer
noticed he had black eye The boys had
broken into locked room for the fight and
were punished with fifteen dement's for
entering a locked room and ten dement's
for destroying property.
The commandant at the time told the boys
that the cause of the fight was trial, but
that he would be the last one to interfere
If there was reasonabl ground for fighting.
Dispute Over Admiral Mccormick.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Advocate Ma
rx said that it had come to his knowledge
since the commencement of the trial that
Admiral Mccormick had held conferences
together shown susl bias in the line of
questions he had asked that he had shown
himself entirely untitled to remain as a
member of the court.
An emphatic protest was at once entered
by Commander Robson and Mr. Monroe.
Commander Robson said that il was i'm
possible for member of the court to ask
questions and elicit proper information If
he was to be accused of prejudice and chal-
lenged merely for making any particular in
quiries.
Admiral Mccormick asked to be excused
from further service on the court stating
that load would be removed from his
shoulders If allowed to retire.
The court was cleared to consider the
challenge, but It was not sustained as
stated in yesterdays Star

GRIEVANCES OF
THE PHILIPPINES.

MANILA, August 9.-The provin.
cial governors now in Manila, except
one American and one Filipino, have
memoralized Congress through Gov
ernor Wright for a reduction of tariff
on Is articles. making serious COM
plants against the constabulary, ask
ing for reform in municipal govern
ments and recommending the vesting
of governors with judicial authority,
Senior Herrera, president OF the Fed
eral party, who is also president Of
the Municipal Board of Manila, at a
banquet of the governors, including
Gilbert. Curtis, Howard and McKin-
ley. attacked the administration Of
Governor Wright, whom he accused
Of not following Taft's satisfactory
policy. Since Taft's departure the
Filipinos, as a whole, have been dis
satisfied, considering themselves In.
sufficiently represented In the govern
ment. Complaints, Herrera said, had
been inadequately investigated, and
the judiciary was manipulated by the
Philippine Commission. Governor
Curry vigorously refuted these ridlcu.
lous charges, though he admitted GER
tain constabulary abuses, which, he
said, the government was energetical-
ly eliminating.
The other governors disapproved
some Of the charges. but either did
not dare or were not inclined to con-
tradict Herrera. 1t is generally con-
sldered that Herrera was intoxicated
with his W e%loquence.
This afternoon Senator Scott open
ed the meeting OF the sugar planters.
Secretary Taft announced that sever
al Filipinos wished to discuss the po-
litical situation, and recommended
that the speeches be restricted to
economic conditions.
The Congressman present concur,
red in this suggestion. Commissioner
Luzarriaga, who represented the sugar
planters. asked the abolition Of the
tariff. Senator Dubois and Senator
Patterson and Congressman eros.

questioned him, and Foster cross.

ton.

SENATOR eoRMAN
LIKELY TO RETIRE.
He VIII Not Be a Candidate For Re-
Eicction-is Not In Good Health.

4ANHHsE
NEW YORK, August 9.-"I know
absolutely that United States Senator
German will not be a candidate for re-
election to the Senate and that he
will, with the expiration of his pres
ent term, retire to private life and
devote himself to prolonging his
days.
This statement was made to a re-
porter by one of the Senator's closest
friends. who has been in New York
and hopes to meet the Senator at
Saratoga, IL the health OF the latter,
which is reported to be poor, permits
'of his annual visit to that resort.
This gentleman says that Senator
German is not physically a we'll man,
and that the worry Of each political
campaign through which he has pass
ed, has left its mark upon the once
rugged constitution of the Maryland
er. He also says that the Senator
feels that his long years in the Senate
and in the service Of his party entitle
him to a complete rest, with the end
of his present term, and that he is
willing that younger men shall take
up the work that has fallen to him.
For many years with a single ex-
ception. when he made his first visit
to Europe. Senator German has been
one Of the most conspicuous visitors
to Saratoga. He usually stops over
In New York or his way up to the
Springs.
At the Fifth Avenue Hotel it was
said that Senator German was not
expected there. and at last accounts
the Senator was too indisposed to
travel. It vas then that the remark
quoted above was made.

Hindu Aphrolsms.


God ripes the mangoes,
The farmer shakes the tree,
God cures the patient,
The doctor takes the fee.
Now hear the word the Brahman said:
"The lions name, the miser's hoard,
The serpent's fang, the brave mans
sword
Ye may obtain-when they are dead.'
He laughed derision when his foes
Against him cast, each man a stone;
His friend in anger flung a rose
And all the city heard him groan.
HE is my brother dear!"
The sister says. But, "Nay!"
Death answers, standing near:
HE is my prey"
Be this engraved:
1.-THE man who misses his chance,
The monkey who misses his branch,
Cannot be saved.
