A Famous Drummer.

Probably the most remarkable drum
mer who ever lived was Jean Henri,
the famous tambour major of the En-
peror Napoleon. One of his feats was
to play on fifteen different toned drums
at the same time In SO soft and harmo-
NOUS a manner that, instead Of the
deafening uproar that might have been
expected, the effect was that OF novel
and complete instrument. In playing
he passed from one drum to the other
with such wonderful quickness that
the eyes of the spectators could hardly
follow the movement Of his hands and
bodys-London Standard.

IN MONTENEGRO
Armed Bands March on the
Capital

Prince Nicholas Takes Public Funds
to Swell His Own lncome-Con-
stitution Proves to
Be Barren.

Vienna, April SO.-The revolutionary
movement in Montenegro where a mill
tary government has been proclaimed,
an. armed bands are reported to be
marching on the capital, is assuming
serious character, according to dispatches
arriving here by way of Ragusa. Disorder
is said to be rapidly spreading through
out the country.
The center of the discomfort is at An
drievica. the headquarters of the Vasso-
ievies. numerically the strongest ciah III
the prlncipality of Montenegro. Inc rs
ing is attributed largely to the aheseu
attempts of Prince Nicholas to override
tbe constitution which he bestowed on the
country in 1905 and also to his ineessant
drain on the public purse.
The prince Is accused of utilizihs liie
taxes and other state funds to SVEN ms
nrivate banking account. Even sums re-
ceived from Emperor Nicholas and Eln-
neror Francis Joseph from time 10 ulie
for specific public purposes oil Moh'eiiesi'

Of the estrangement between the ruler
and the people of Montenegro. Inc grant
of a constitution TO Montenegro turned
ont to be a barren gift and as soon as
this was realized, dissensions became pro-
nounced and emigration increased so rap
;dlv that 25,00O Montenegroians lett the
country during the first three months OF
this year.
The cabinets appointed by Prince Nlch-

institgating the destruction of the OFFICES

The clans were summoned to meet at An
drievica and the delegates OF the three
principal clans, all heavily armed at
stormy conference, decided to send rep
resentatives to Cettinje and demand that
Prince Nicholas dismiss the TomanoVies
cabinet.
The prince replied by declaring martiai

Csptain Tells Of His Action On the
Night of the Brownsville
Shoot-Up.

San Antonio, Tex. April 30-In the
Macklin court martial today the defend
ant himself took the witness stand. Capt.
Macklin testified as to his actiens in de-
tail on the evening and night of the
shooting up of Brownsville. He told
of his trip into the town at o'clock at
night and found no soldiers in the city.
He said he retired shortly before mid
night and later was awakened by noise
at his door. He at first thought 1t was
the reveille sounding but looking at his
clock he discovered 1t was not yet
O'Clock He then went to sleep and heard
nothing more until he was finally awak-
ened by a soldier, who told OF the shoot
ing in the city. The captain was cross
examined and the evidence adduced was
practically the same as that given at the
Penrose trial.
Lieut.. Lawrasson. of the Twenty-hfth
infantry, was next placed on the stand
and said he knew Captain Macklin TO be
a heavy sleeper. His testimony on other
lines was practically repetition of for

ROUGH CRITICISM
OF SUPREME COURT
w. B. WILSON FILES A PETITION
FOR A REHEARlNe OF HIS SUIT
AGAINST SECRETARY SHAW FOR
PURCHASE OF PANAMA.

Washington, April 30.-Attorney War
against Secretary Shaw by which he at
tempted to have declared illegal the pay
ment of $50, 100000 for the purchase of
the Panama canal from the French COM
pany, was recently decided against him
by the United States supreme court, has
filed In that court a petition for a re-
hearing, which is somewhat remarkable
on account of the manner in which the
courts decision is characterized. Refer
ring to the courts statement that
amount of complainant's interest is not
disclosed" he asserts that no bill of this
kind ever alleged anything as to the
amount of property the complainant
owned.
The only startling thing about the
matter" adds the attorney, ''is that the
supreme court of the United States should
be Startled at the idea that a citizen
disclosing as the basis of his right only
to be called on to contribute by taxation
to the public treasury, should presume to
think himself entitled to demand from
this court that the constitution should
be obeyed by men in high places as we'll
a by the 1owly.
Whenever in the judgment of the
President or Congress 1t seems neces-
sary or desirable that new power should
be granted, the proper process and place.
to secure 1t is not to apply for it to
those for whose benefit it is to be ex-
ercised' but the powers should be made
permanent by the court. The part in this
increasing process assigned the court Is
that from time to time the judges should
in direct violation of their oaths of Of
flee, falsely declare from the bench that
the constitution means what they know
