.LILLEY HEARING
One Session Only To-Day on
Account Of Sickness in
Olmsiead'S Family
YESTERDAYS RUMPUS

Washington, April THE sub,
marine boat investigating commit
tee held but one session to-day ow-
ing to the absence of Representative
Olmstead, because of illness in his
family. ..-.
Robert Skerrett, a former en-
ploye of the Lake Torpedo Boat
company, who was on the stand yes
terday as witness, was again a
witness to-day. A number of ques-
tions designed to draw the witness
comparison Of the relative merits
of the Electric Boat company and
the Lake Boat company type of ves-
sells were asked ~ Skerrett. In re-
ply to a direct question would a
Lake boat Of equal length, displace'
ment and motive power be inferior
to the Octopus or boat of her
type?" the witness answered in the
negative.
Toward the close of the forenoon
session, the fact was developed that
Mr. Skerrett had prepared some arti-
cles for publication, on the strength
of secret information, derived from
the navy department and inquiry
was instantly directed toward ascer-
tanning the means, by which he had
gotten his facts. He declined to say
beyond the statement to the effect
that he had procured them from one
of the three Dutch officers, whom he
had met in Holland, while in that
country in the interest Of the Lake
company. He mentioned Lieuten-
ant Roster, formerly of the Dutch
army as one of the three officers in
question.

Chairman Boutell complained open,
ly about the publication of exhibits
before they had been accepted as evil
dence by the committee. This refer
red to affidavits or letters which MI
Lilley had handed in from time to
time, many of which were in the ma
ture of suggestions, and so describ'
ed in newspaper accounts.
Mr. Boutell thought these things
should appear in the record.
Some life and humor was lent tc
the proceedings by alternating shifts
| to the witness chair between Repre-
sentative Lilley and Robert w. Wool
ley, a New York World correspond
ent. 1t was matter of much ear
nestness to them and their repeated
requests to be recalled to succeed
each other In giving evidence, one In
fiat contradiction of the, other, re-
suited in some emphatic declarations
which the committee could not ac-
cept as parliamentary.
Prior to this Mr. Erly, former
newspaper correspondent, had been
called to tell the committee some
thing about jocular remark Of his,
which had been distorted by the time
1t had reached Mr. Lilley. Mr. WOOL
ley swore that he had repeated the
words of Mr. Erly, which was some
thing about having a whole hat full
of money, to Mr. Lilley as a joke.
Since one of the members of the COM
mittee had chanced to take drink
with Mr. Erly on that day Mr. Lilley
had taken the scent and lit out fot
the trail of the Electric Boat Co.
The entire afternoon session, last
ing four and a half hours, was taken
up in examination of Robert G. Skier
rett, who had been a naval archi-
tect for the Lake Boat Co and before
that a draughtsman in the naval bu-
reau of construction. Mr. Skerrett
was questioned closely as to the rela-
tive merits of American and foreign
submarine boats and as to his au-
thority for statements in magazine
and newspaper articles which he had
written on naval topics.
Inc purpose Oh the Iohs eAdhlihd'
tion seemed to be TO ascertain If Mr.
Skerrett was not the head of pub
lieity bureau of the Lake company
and that part of his duties wasfo cir
culate literature among members OF
congress and newspaper men. He
maintained that he was employed by
the Lake company as an architect
and engineer and that the articles
written by him were contributed tc
periodicals on their merits and were
paid for only by the publications us
ing them. He denied that he had IA.
vored any particular submarine boat
in these articles except that he had
advocated the even keel Of the Lake
boat.

OF large aggregations Of wealth and

in 1892, when 10000 persons out OF
a population Of 100000 were attack
ed in Hamburg and $500 died. The in
lection was traced directly to the wa
ter supply from the Elbe. which was
polluted by sewage carried up the
river by the tide. BY rigid quarantine
and by care regarding hydraht water
a recurrence Of the disease was mini
mized. In the case of cholera, as in
that Of yellow fever, malaria and 9TH
er infectious diseases, control has
come through the discovery OF the
cause Of the infection and a study
Of the habits Of the guilty germ.
The necessary Information, however,
has been obtained only at the disre-
gard of personal safety in the inter-
ests OF science and has been one of
the glories OF the medical profession.
In 1883. when cholera was epidemic
In Egypt. an expedition was sent out
under DR.. Koch to discover, If posi-
Bile. the micro-organism causing the
disease. Through its researches, con-
flrmed later by its Investigations In
India, the bacterium was found. 1t is
a minute comma shaped plant capable
of sustaining extremes of cold. Hap
PLY 1t is not readily carried in the
air. Infected water and food are the
chief agents for spreading the disease
and the infection may be carried by
flies. Rats. which help to spread bu-
bonic plague. are exculpated in the
case of cholera.
If the patients are carefully nursed
and especial care is taken to see that
no infection Is communicated to food
or water from the sick room, the dis
ease may be localized. Experiments
with antitoxins are still in progress.
Until satisfactory results are obtained
the chief reliance to combat the NAL
ady must be placed on the efforts of
the body's own recuperative powers
aided by careful nursing.

Cor]iss' Reasons
Judge Tells Why johnson Should
Be Elected Senator.
The choice of the next United

The choice of the next United
States senator from this state lies be-
tween two men. The next legislature,
which is the legal body to select the
senator, will be Republican and It is
Of course inevitable that Republi-
can will be chosen. Tho party Is full
ly committed to the principle that the
man to be chosen BY the legislature
shall be the one who receives the
highest number Of votes In the Re-
publican primaries on election day in
November. Only two persons will be
voted for In the Republican primaries
for this position, Mr.. johnson and Mr..
Marshall. Any vote not cast for one
OF these two gentlemen, will be
thrown away. OF course, I do not at
tempt to tell any Republican what his
duty is in casting bis vote for senator
Each man must settle that question
pf himself But ! do feel constrained
to state my position in the matter
and my reasons therefor. I believe
that Mr. Johnson has greater talent
for public affairs and greater natural
aptitude for the work of O statesman
than his opponent. The bent Of his
mind 10 toward public questions and
the service Of the state. Indeed, so
much Ia this the case, that no has
made rather Indifferent success in his
private affairs. While understand
him to DO man Of some property, he
iss by no means q rich man or even
weli-to-do. Not having any interest
In the pursuit 1t selfish financial ad-
vancement, he has not acquired any
considerable amount Of property. But
this is a good quality in public man.
Having no particular ambition for
riches, he would, therefore, lie under
no temptation to use his omcial po-
sitton as q stepping stone to wealth.
The state and nation would have his
undivided. conscientious, experienced
and able services - q senator. Dur
ing his ok years In congress, Mr..
johnson demonstrated the soandness
of his political views on the questions
then before tho nation: He also ex-
hibited his political courage at that
time for he stood Tor financial honesty
against the heresy OF free silver, when
seemingly It WAS political suicide to
take this position and whom In the

ssidered : lasting, popular breeze.

INJECTING CoSaRsssnEN.

North Dakota Republicans should
not forget that It Is highly important
that the representatives in congress-
who are elected from this state should
be Republicans. The battle now be-
Ing waged is one for the supremacy
OF the principles of government as
enunciated by the Republican party.
IT these principles, carried into effect
IN the form of enacted legislation, will
enhance the prosperity of the nation
and the advantages of the people as
individuals. 1t is important that men
should be entrusted with the law-mak-
Ing power who are believers in those
principles. To this end the members
Of congress should receive especial
attention.
The Republican party in this state
has presented for the suffrage of the
electorate two men whose qualifca-
lions for the important position can
not be questioned and whose integrity
Is untmpeachable. Mr.. Gronna has
served nearly two terms in the ma
tional house and has distinguished
himself A. one Of the aggressive and
energetic members Of that body. He
has taken the initiative on many OF
