sPERRY CHANGES PLAN.
Officers and Men Of Fleet to Gs
Ashore at Manila.

The officers and men of the fleet OF
battIeships under command Of Rear Ad.
miral Sperry will be given as full liberty
at Manila as at any other port at which
they have touched since leaving home.
Admiral Sperry has concluded, according
to a dispatch received by the Navy De-
partment this morning, that health con-
ditions at Manila are entirely satisfac-
tory, and that there will be no danger in
permitting the freest liberty to the officers
and men of the fleet. They will take part
in a parade and have the usual liberty
of the city.
Some time ago Admiral 8perry did not
believe 1t to be wise to take that course,
but after consultation with Gov. Gen.
Smith. and a personal investigation, he
has changed his views, and no longer
deems 1t dangerous for the bluejackets
to land in Manila and accept the hospi-
talities in store for them.

CAPT. PATRICK HENRY DEAD.
Member Of Mississippi River Com
mission Passes Away.

Capt. Patrick Henry. who had many
friends here, died at his home at Clarks-
vile, Tenn, early this morning.
Capt. Henry for the last twenty years
represented the Mississippi river levee
commission before Congress, and, 1t is de-
clared, few men are more widely known
or have more friends among those promi-
nent in public life. He was a cadet at
the Virginia Military Academy when the
civil war broke out, but was one of the
members Of the detachment from that in
stitution that took part in the battle of
Newmarket. and who. history recites,
fought like veterans.
Capt. Henry was in Richmond when the
Confederate capital fell, and his recollec-
ton OF the burning of the city and Of the
retreat of Jefferson Davis and the Con-
federate government made an interesting
and thrilling story His home was at
GAINESVILLE. where he had several nieces
and nephews. He was the last of his
family. His wife, who was Miss Ellen
Barker. died twenty years ago.

DEATH OF JUDGE BURCH.
Friends Say Heart Disease Wa
Primary Cause,


The friends Of Judge John T. Burch
Of Berwyn. Md, who died in q police
station in this city last week Of heart
disease. are disposed to question the cor
rectness of the official report that his
death was FASTENED by the use OF
alcohol. They assert that while he was
not total abstainer Judge Burch did
not indulge in strong drink intemper-
ately and they question the judgment of
the police in arresting him on a charge
Of intoxication and locking him In a
station cell. 1t is asserted on behalf
of members Of the family that Judge
Burch when found incapacitated in the
street was suffering from illness and
should have been sent to hospital or
to his home.
In this connection Jackson H. Ralston
OF Hyattsville has written to The Star
to say:
His old friends and associates note
with sorrow the death Of John T. Burch
Of Berwyn. Md. While they had known
that q long-seated heart trouble had at
physically. they had not expected 30
speedy and sad an outcome. Mr.. Burch
had for many years occupied a position
of Importance and commanding respect
in the neighborhod. He had also served
the state with intelligence and probity In
While an earnest partisan, his always
courteous demeanor insured the good will
of his political opponents. The county of
Prince George as well as the District OF
Columbia will feel the loss of q man
excellent in all the relations of life"
HYATTSVILLE. November 23.-The
funeral of Judge Burch took place from
st. Jeromes Catholic Church this morn
ing. and was largely attended by friends
and relatives. Father Augusta Marks OF
the Francis de Sales Church of Lang

PATIENT IS NOT MRS. FISHER
MORPHINE POISONING CASE RE-
MAINS A MYSTERY.
Declines to Disclose Her Identity
Woman Physician, From Balti-
more, Caller at Hospital.

Persons who are we'll acquainted
| with the appearance of Mrs. E r. Fisher
who eloped with the son of Senator
| Isidore Rayner. called at the Emergency
Hospital today and declared that the
patient known there as Miss Sadie
Hutchinson is not Mrs. Fisher. This
leaves the mystery Of the woman who
has been in the hospital since Satur-
day morning, i'll of morphine poison
ing. as far from solution as ever.
Whoever the patient it, she seems de-
termincd to keep her identity a secret.
When any one approaches her room at
the hospital she hides her face beneath
the bedclothes. A glimpse of her face
was caught by man who walked by
the door purposely, and who would have
known Mrs. Fisher beyond question. He
said that she is a much younger woman
than Mrs. Fisher and bears no resem-
blance to her at all.
Senator Rayner has interested himself
in the matter also. and is satisfied that
the patient Is not the woman whose name
was connected with that Of his son sew
eral months ago.
Not From San Francisco.
Shortly after Miss Hutchinson was
taken to the hospital Saturday morning
from the hotel in which she was found
UNCONSCIOUS a prominent society woman
of Gan Francisco called there and de-
clared that the woman's name is not
Hutchinson and that she did not come
from San Francisco, as claimed.
Later DR.. f. Ray Duhrnam, a woman
physician, registering at the Hotel La
Fetra and giving her home address as
Baltimore, began to make regular visits
at the hospital, and had talks with
the patient. When urged to identify the
woman, DR.. Duhrnam said her name is
jeanette Sanford.
Not Regarded as Important.
The police do not attach any import
ance to this Identification, as DR.. Duhr-
mans visits are regarded as having
thrown more mystery over the matter in
stead of being help to the police. A
card giving an address in Waltham
Mass, was found in the hospital room
yesterday. Telegraph communication will
the chief Of police Of that city resulted ir
nothing more than the information tina
no woman Of the name of Sanford OF
Hutchinson is known at the address given
A story was in circulation at the hos
pital this morning that DR.. Duhrnam had
been following the woman about the
country in an effort to prevent her from
committing suicide. The officials were
apprehensive that if Miss Hutchinson"
should be allowed to leave the place alone
she would commit suicide. but it Is UNI
derstood that the doctor will accompany
her when her condition will warrant her
discharge from the institution.

The Craze for Sea Angling.

From the Sporting and Dramatic News.
There is only one thing in common
among fresh and salt water anglers, and
that is their enthusiasm. The man who
bangles lugworms or Jumps of fish by
way of bait from a pier is as keen an
angler as any dry-fly artist who beguiles
big chalk-stream trout. AS there are
not enough trout and salmon to go round.
perhaps we fresh-water anglers ought
TO be thankful for this modern craze for
sea angling .--..-
