THEBRUWNSVILLECASE
PENRoSE CoURT-MARTIAL DE-
TENSE STEALS A MARCH.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DALLAS, Texas, March Sin the PEN
rose court-martial today the defense stole
march on the prosecution and caught
them unprepared for action The first of
the witnesses from among the negro sol
defrs OF the 18th Infantry, discharged
through the order Of President Roosevelt,
appeared in the person of Corporal Samuel
Wheeler
The unexpected advent from Washington
OF the former negro corporal upset the cal
culations Of Col. Glenn. and after the
few brief questions asked the court to grant
him time to prepare for examination.
Wheeler's testimony was therefore cut
short and court adjourned until Monday.
The substance of Wheeler's testimony as
his examination extended was that he was
at Fort Brown on the night OF August 1S,
and while the shooting was in progress he
heard bullets whizzing in the air over his
head. The bullets appeared to be fired
from toward the town.
During the short session of the court to-
day the Mexican. Matias Tamayo, employed
at Fort Brown. and who testified yesterday
to hearing bullets whistle near him, fired
from Brownsville, was recalled for further
cross-examination. He did not sustain
himself we'll under the Interrogation he In
sisted that he saw no shots fired from the
gallery Of the barracks at Fort Brown.

when he heard the shooting. He was asked
why he did so if he thought the shots were
an alarm for q fire in Brownsville. He
could only answer Il was accustomed to do
that"
Keen Interest at San Antonio.
Keen interest is felt at San Antonio In the
controversy between Mr.. Penrose and Cap
tain W. j. Mcdonald, the noted ex-com-
mander of the Texas Rangers. and who
took a conspicuous part as an investigator
for the state Immediately following the
"shooting-up' of Brownsville.
The reference by Major Penrose on yes
terday to Capt Mcdonald as contempt
ible coward has reused the fighting spirit
of the ranger veteran, and the indignation
Of his friends. Capt. Mcdonald reached
San Antonio tonight. He is not laxative,
but it is understood that he will contribute
a statement for publication in the San An
tonic newspapers tomorrow morning that
will make Major Penrose know that he
is in town.
It is said that Mcdonald will remain in
San Antonio over Sunday and perhaps for
several days longer His close friends as
sert that he has not modified his statement
that he had higher regard for the negro
soldiers who were at Fort Brown last Au-
gust than he has for Major Penrose.'

THE DUMA ADJOURNED
SUGGESTION TO TAKE
SEVERAL DAYS RECESS.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 9.-Parlia-
ment adjourned tonight at the conclusion
of the election of officers. 1t accepted the
suggestion of the president to take recess
for several days. Next week will enable
the committees on credentials, appointed
today, to formulate their reports on the
contested seats. The number Of such seats
in this body is three times as great as In
the first duma. The next session will be
held Wednesday or Thursday of next week.
1t has been Professionally agreed that Pre-
mier Stolypin is to deliver his program at
the second session.
The afr tonight is full of rumors of dis
solution, the reactionists having passed a
resolution to make the proposed disqualid-
cation of NJ. Kroushevan and M. Purish-
kevich a cause for war. to withdraw in
body if either deputy is unseated, and to
petition the emperor to dissolve parliament
Immediately M Kroushevan threatens
openly that his exclusion from the duma
will be followed by more than anti-Jewish
attacks in southern Russia. NJ. Kroushe-
van is an anti-Semite member from Kish-
inev.
Another dangerous factor to the contin-
uance of parliament is the action of the
radical deputies, who are taking advantage
of their parliamentary immunity to organ
tze meetings and conduct a revolutionary
propaganda among the workmen of st.
Petersburg.
Opposed to Disruption.
The great body of the deputies, however,
are opposed to attempts to disrupt the
duma. The leaders of the various fac
tons, as indicated by the suppression of the
socialist resolution regarding amnesty, are
making an endeavor to steer the house safe
ly through the troubled waters. The So
cialists themselves have split on the ques-
ton of tactics. and the moderates are work.
Ing with the constitutional democrats
against the extremists
The constitutional democrats have Sc
lected M. Maklackoff. a lawyer Of Moscow,
to be leader on the floor. He is one of a
group of lawyers formed to defend political
prisoners. He has conducted many famous
trials. and is regarded as one of the wittiest
members of the Russian bar.
The routine nature of the proceedings of
the new duma during the first week of its
existence has prevented the throwing Of
much light on the general situation, other
than to intimate who Will be the coming
leader. These leaders will be actually dis
closed during the debate in answer to the
address OF Premier Stolypin. 1t now ap-
pears, however. that Count BobrinSky, a
large land owner of lula. who was edu-
Gated as priest and later studied abroad,
will assume the leading place in the con-
sentative ranks soon as the serious
work of the session begins.
M. Alexinsky, fiery young socialist OF
the capital. probably will succeed A. F.
Aladdin, who is now in the United States,
as the chief assailant Of the ministry.
The stock exchange, which was weak
during the election on account of the an
ticipation of disorders has gained new
strength. Imperial 49, which were depress-
ed to - before the opening OF the duma,

THE HAGUE PROGRAM
REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE ON
ARMAMENTS A TOPIC.

LONDON, March 9.-The British govern
ment is now confident that the question Of
the reduction of the expenditure on arma-
ments will be discussed at the approaching
peace conference at The Hague. Although
there have not been any formal exchanges
Of views between the powers, the subject
has been informally discussed, and thus far
no power has offered any objection to the
question being included in the program.
Germany. it is true, has not yet officially
consented, but with many powers favoring
the discussion and others not opposing it,
1t is not considered likely that Germany
will offer any serious opposition, although
the German officials are believed to be
skeptical regarding the results of such q
discussion.
England. on the other hand. believes much
good will follow therefrom. and this view
will include the subject in the enlarged
program to be drafted as a result of the
visit of Prof. De Martens, the Russian i'm
periai chancellor of state, to the European
Britain will suggest its inclusion with full
confidence that she will have the support
of all the other powers.

Martens, the Russian imperial councillor

Hague, is expected back in St Petersburg
next week.
The announcement of the result of his
trip was made after he had reported to
the emperor. The introduction of any
measures for. the Limitation of arma-
ments is regarded here as definitely ex-
c1uded because of the attitude maintained
by several of the powers consulted on
this question.
United States Ambassador Riddle has in
CURED of the foreign Office here regarding
the mode of admission to the next confer
ence of certain South American and other
states who did not participate in the first
conference. He was informed that prac-
tically all the signatories had agreed to the

fication of acceptance of the regulations,
