The property will be delivered within

Corners subj Committee Expects to Find
That He KNITTED Hearst.

The subcommittee Of the Democratic
State committee appointed by Chairman
Corners to investigate the conduct of
Senator McCarren in the last campaign
is TO meet at moor to-day at the Victoria
Hotel. The committee is composed Of
Charles F.. Williams, chairman; Roert W.

gerald, Thomas W. Finucane, Frank Cooper
and Stephen Ryan.
The committe after organizing will imme-
diately begin the trial of the Brooklyn
Senator on the charges brought by John H.
Delaney and Others from Brooklyn. A
dozen or more witnesses have been sum-
moned to appear for the prosecution, in
Guiding Delaney, Warden Patrick Hayes and
others, who brought the charges.
Senator McCarren has ignored the charges
and is on a Western trip. 1t was said
yesterday hat he wOul Id not be repre-
scented at the hearing, az he has already
disputed the right of the committee TO
oust him as a member. IL is the general
idea that he will be found guilty of the
charge of knitting Hearst. As only one
side will be heard il ism t expected thai the
trial will last long.

DISMISSAL OF NEGRO TROOPS.
Senator Bailey Of Texas IndOrses Presi-
dents Action A Precedent.

WASHINGTON, Nov Ex-senator Joseph
W. Bailey of Texas, one Of the Demo cratic
leaders Of the Senate. who in the past has
never been second among President Roose-
velt's s~everest critics, il out in IN indorse-
ment Of the action of the President in dis
missing the three companies of negro
soldiers Of the Twenty-ffth Infantry Regi-
ment.
Il have not examined the question Of the
Presidents power TO discharge the troops
according to his order, said Senator Bailey.
-but with a Secretary of War who is a great
lawyer, a Secretary of State who is also a
great lawyer, and an Attorney General who
is sufficiently great az an interpreter OF the
law TO he appointed To the Supreme bench,
| assume that President Roosevelt was
fully and correctly advised as TO W hat he
might lawfully do.
, assuming that he possessed the power,
/ think all fair minded men who desire to see
the army an orderly and law abiding organi-
cation will cordially indorse the positive
manner in which the President has ex-
ercised his power. l have no doubt that
the President would have applied the same
heroic treatment il the offenders had been
white troops, and certainly nobody would
insist that negro troops shall be exempt
from the same requirements OF orderly
behavior which rest upon and would have
been enforced against white troops.
1T is particularly gratifying to the people
OF the South that the President has re-
sisted the political influences which sought
10 nave him rescind the order after he had
issued il. To have rescinded or even to
have modified the order after it was once
made would have demoraliZed the army
and produced incalculable harm in all of
the Southern States. 1 have not Take
with any of the Senators or Representatives
from the South, but in my opinion they
will all cordially support the action OF tho
President"
At a meeting OF John jacob Aston Camp,
Spanish War Veterans, composed mostly
OF inmates of the National Soldiers Home,
resolutions were ordered drafted approx
ing the course of President Roosevelt in
Diminishing the negro troops. At the meet
ing Col. Thomas G. Brady. past commander
of the Southern California Veterans Asso-
citation, said that in 1870 a company OF
white soIdiers-Company X, Thirteenth
United States Infantry-was disbanded for
shooting IN the town OF Provo, Utah,
and no criticism followed.
A mass meeting of negroes ad opted
resolutions this evening pleading with the
President TO rescind his order dismissing
the negro troops. The meeting was held
in the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church and
was well attended. As a result OF the
meeting the Presi dent on Tuesday will be
called on by a committee of seventeen
prominent colored men from various places,
every one of them a pastor OF some church.
This committee will present TO the Presl-
lent the resolutions adopted at this even
inO'a mpatinQ.

RACE FOR LAND UNDER ICE.
Rival Explorer Ahead Of Duchess OF Bed
ford Party In Beaufort Sea.

VICTORIA, B. O., Nov. 25.-A rival ex-
plorer. A. H. Harrison, has preceded the
Duchess Of Bedford exploratory expedition
into the Arctic regions, according to adj
vices given by officers OF the United States
revenue cutter Thetis. He 10 endeavoring
TO anticipate Capt. Ejnar Mikkelsen and
Ernest de X. ~Leffingwell in the discovery Of
a large area Of land believed to exist in the
Beaufort Sea in the Arctic Ocean.
Harrison was at Herschel Island last
winter when whalers were spoken by the
Thetis. He left A~thabaska Landing in 1906
and wen down the Mackenzie in the sum-
mer OF that year and was preparing last
winter to start over the hillocks of ice pro-
vided with provisions and instruments for
sounding. Capt. Amundsen OF the sloop
Gjoa, which n~avigated the Northwest Pas
sage and which was the first Of the frozen
in fleet to come through the broken ice foe,
reported to the officers Of the Thetis having
met Harrison, who was accompanied only
by two Indian carriers laden with his packs.
The English explorer wa then near Herschel
Island and stated he was bound to Banks
Island, where be intended to make a base
for his journey out over the Toe.
That Harrison will precede Capt. Mix
kelsen and Mr.. L~effingwen in the attempt
to discover the unknown land is evident.
He had a lead on the Duchess OF Bedford,
which left Return Reef on September 4,
after being towed through the ice by Capt.
Cottle of the steam whaler Belvedere, for
which service the latter refusedfo accept
pay. Whether the Duchess OF Bedford
would reach Banks Island this winter was
Questionable. Som thought she would
not get fu rther than Herschel Island, While
Harrison was at Banks Island last winter.
Harrison during the early part OF last
winter was engaged In making a short
survey with a prismatic compass 70 es-
tablish his base for the ice trip. He had
started on a trip to the northwest over the
ice last spring. with what success has not
been learned.
The object Mr.. Harrison has in view is
identical with that of Capt. Mikkelsen and
the other explorers who left here on the
schooner Duchess OF Bedford on May 10
last. The result of the race TO discover
the unknown continent which the adj
v~enturers believe to lie under the ice Of
the Beaufort Sea will be awaited with in
terest.
Ejnar Ditlevsen, zoologist and artist,
il reported to have left the Bedford at
Port Clarence, intending to return owing
to i'll health, but this report could not be
confirmed. The trouble which resulted
in Mate Parker and the cook leaving the
vessel at Point Hope followed a quarrel
between the mate and Capt. Mikkelsen.

MAGISTRATES MEET TO-DAY.
Important Matters Expected TO Come
Before the Board.

The Board Of City Magistrates at their
regular monthly meeting this afternoon
will probably nave one of the busiest SEES
sions they have held in a long time. The
court attendants scheme, consideration Of
which was postponed until this meeting
because Mayor Mcclellan promised'to take
the entire board before the Appellate Di-
vision if they created Offices for which
there was no appropriation, will. come up
to receive its quietus.
Some Of the Magistrates who favored the
scheme have seen a great light, and several
who voted to consider the plan on three
occasions are now protesting that they
simply wanted to bring it up so that they
could kill it.
Action will also probably be taken to
render the probation system more effective
At the last weekly meeting Of the proba-
ton officers more than 200 persons on pro-
ba on reported. A new system of record
lug cases has been put into effect recently
and the Magistrates Intensely es are be-
ginning to make greater use Of the oppor-
tunity OF putting persons on PROBATION.
Magistrate Steinert, IL is expected, will
bring mp his scheIpe for reducing the pro-
fessional bondsman evil. The Magistrate
coopeTated with the police recently, and
the result was an agreement not to bring
inmates OF disorderly houses, with the ex-
| ception Of the proprietors, to the station
houses after raids. That limited the OPP
~portunities Of the professional bondsman.
Magistrate Steinert will probably suggest
some broad plan Of cooperation with the
! police, or at least will ask for a formal con-
ference with Commissioners Bingham by a
committee. The subject Of the farcical
bonds for good behavior may also come up.
There have been nearly II eco of these
bonds made out in the last eleven years
and not one " az ever forfeited.
y Magistrate Cornell may bring up the
| alleged illegal discharge by Magistrate
Sweetser of a prisoner whom Magistrate
Cornell sent to the ~workhouse the day be-
fore election. Magistrate Sweetser hber-
ated the man on election day and it is
charged that politics was behind il.
u Magistrate Wahle, president of the board
may report the result of the communication
he was ordered to SEND to the Bar Associa-
ton requesting an investigation of the
Magistrates and the police courts and tell
what steps. if any, the Bar Association has
decided to take.

ALL QUIET IN HAMILTON.
streets Crowded. but Street Car 81 rikers
Make No Sign-Cars

HAMILTON. Ont, Nov. 25.-It Is a typical
Canadian Sunday here to-day. The people,
after last nights scenes Of riot, gave up
to-day TO quiet and churchgoing Whether
this is due to the mob's respect for Sun
day or to Col. Denison's threat to clear the
streets at any cost on the least sign OF dis
t~urbance, the main thoroughfares Of Hamil-
ton are pesceable, although crowded with
people. The cars are running tonight I'M
disturbed.
Last nights disturbance was the worst
since the Inauguration Of the strike, three
weeks ago. The cavalry charged the On
lockers as we'll as the disorderly elements.
This show of force did not seem TO have
much effect on the crowds, which werethen
greater than usual on account Of it being
Saturday night. The majority did not dis
perse until about 10 O'Clock. by which time
the people generally make for their homes.
The trouble began about s O'Clock In
earnest. Stone throwing was the main
offensive movement outside Of a rather
serious disturbance on King street oppo-
site the new Victoria Hotel. There the
track was blocked by obstacles, and when
the first car appeared it got stalled and re-
ceived a furious fusillade OF bricks from a
new building in course of erection.
One strike breaker was badly manned
and removed to the hospital in the
bulance Most OF the policemen in action
received injuries, but Constable Hallisey
was the most seriously hurt, n tonight
is In a serious condition.
The cars ran on but one line and were
heavily screened and carried about Q dozen
strike breakers each Sympathy OF the
public made the boycott complete. There
were no passengers.
