ONLY SHORT SESSION HELD.
INVESTIGATION
TO BE RESUMED TOMORROW.
Senator Warner Will Be Given Op-
portunity to 1nterrogate
the Witnesses.

The investigation into the shooting up of
Brownsville. with which the committee on
military affairs was charged by the United
States Senate last winter, was resumed to-
day at the Capitol The committee met in
the press gallery of the Senate, because of
the difficulty experienced by the crowding
of the committee room during the time the
sessions were held there after the adjourn
ment Of Congress. The long table reserved
for newspaper correspondents during the
sessions of the Senate was surrounded to-
day by members Of the committee on mill
tary affairs. They will probably occupy the
gallery the next six weeks at least, as the
examination of the thirty-three witnesses
who have been subpoenaed will probably re-
quire that much time.
Nearly all Of these witnesses were present
in the corridors leading to the press gal
lery this morning. They were all from
Texas, except one from Mexico. They were
Americans and Mexicans, some of them
speaking Spanish only. For the latter there
will be interpreters, and their examination
by the slow method Of translating questions
and answers will consume great deal OF
time, especially If testimony Is developed
along interesting lines. All of. these wit
nesses have been called upon request of
Senator Warner, who has been assigned to
take the affirmative side of the case SO far
as the charge that the colored soldiers shot
The Meeting Postponed.
When the committee met this morning
for the first time since its/ adjournment
over q month ago it was developed that
Senator Warner had had no opportunity to
inform himself sufficiently as to the line of
testimony the witnesses are likely to offer,
and In order that he might do so the COM
mittee decided, after half an hours dis
cussion to adjourn until 1890 o'clock to-
morrow morning. At that time the ex-
animation of the witnesses will be begun
and continued with as little interruption
as possible until all Of the witnesses nave
been disposed of.
There was no abatement in the interest
that is being shown toward the lnVestlga,

DDRESS BY MR.. B. H. WARNER

Surrounded by eighty-five friends on his
eighty-fifth birthday, Henry Augustus Will
lard was today both the host and the guest
of honor at a dinner given the Oldest In
habitants' Association. 1t was a midday
dinner, and was served in the lower room
of the Occidental Hotel of which Mr.. Will
lard is the proprietor. 1t was more or less
of a surprise party, too, for though he knew
that his birthday was to be celebrated by
a luncheon of some sort, he did not know
of the preparations that were being made
until this morning.
The only trouble in selecting the guests
was to keep the numbers within the bounds
of the space at command. The table was
laid the length of the room and across the
upper end covered with flowers, most
of the clusters being special gifts with
special significance.
The most conspicuous piece was a cluster

from his only surviving sister, Mrs. Susan

red roses. There were a score of other

table and large collection of potted flow

son Of Mrs. Florence Rosia of 100 Navy

acid mixture yesterday afternoon on a lot

Of the contents he. proceeded to drink from
the bottle.
Mrs. Rosia heard the child screaming
and went to his assistance. Near him she
found the bottle. She then summoned q

The patrol wagon was sent from the fifth

to the Casualty Hospital. 1t is stated by

hood or womanhood is the absolute

of that offense against God and
