construction of a sh!p of its members,
ihls is no part of tho duties of a line
officer, so that no rei1e<-tiun is carried by
the statement. To remedy their short
? ? mings the court has called upon the
depnruaent to send to their aid a c??n
'or and a cari?, nter. and In com
plianc?- with tin roques S?cretary Long
has directed Naval-Constructor Hoover
an?i Carpenter Helm to r?>port to the
court at Key West.
it is said it Is expected that they will
go to Habana when the court returns
there, and from their familiarity with
the structure of the Maine, on which
both of these men worked when she was
built in the New York navy-yard, th.v
will he of groat assistance, not only in
suggesting easy methods of work for tho
?livers but also In identifying portions
of the wreak, The latter oenstdemtlon
is one of the greatest importance in view
Of the Btetesncnta that have come from
Habana that some of the ship's bottom
platea have been found in the debris
above water.
It Is said at the department that If
Ihls is true the fact will be of Imp?r
tame, but It was added that It would
no necessarily be conclusive evidence as
to the sourc?' of the explosion, for It is
?uni livable that If the dock wore blown
up It might <*asily have pulled up with it
some of the frames ant) the bottom
plating, which aro rigidly attached by
rivets.
Without doubt, the two exports will bo
much bettor qualified than tho line offi
cers or divers to Identify any such pieces
of plate.

KEY WEST, March 1 ? Tho second day's
session of tho court of inquiry Is over,
and nothing new is known regarding the
fate of the Maine?at all ev?-nt??, outside
the members of the court. Some, who con
fidently declared a conviction that the
court had already found that the v-<a,l
was intentionally blown up. have moditbtl
this conviction, and for the most part ad
mit that such reports must baive been
basal largely on speculation. Even naval
Officers are apparently as much In the
?Lirk as civilians as to what the court's
opinior* is nt the present moment.
BxOOllenl progress has been made in the
examinations, and the court will probably
linish its work here to-morrow, when Its
members will be taken back to Habana
on the Mangrove.
Interest In th* proceedings flagged some
what to-day. owing to the utter futllitv
of all attempts to gratify the general
curiosity.
The corr?r*?J<pondent of the Associated
?Presa placed b?*foro one of the members
of th? court the letter signed "Maquinis
ta" (Machinist), giving alleged details of
the filling Of the Maine's torpedo-holes
with dynamite cartridges, and their sub
s? quent explosion by an ele?trlc Wire. The
member of the court In question said thait
??t-ith? r th?* letter nor its developments
bad been ofllrtally before the cour..
The Cubans here are constantly re
ceiving mysterious missives from Habana,
purporting to reveal tho method by which
Ihe Maine was Stml to destruction, but ns
there are as many suggestions or theo
ries as there ?are letters, little reliance ana
I..- plseed Upon any of them.
Most of tho morning session of the court
was devoted to verifying testimony pre
viously given.
Four engineer officers and ten enlisted
men of the Mailne were examined.
The engineers examined were Passofl
Assistant-Knginocr Morris. Asslstant-En
gineer Lowers. Cadet (engineer division)
Washington, and Cadet Crenshaw.
Th.? afternoon session of the court be
gan nt li o'clock, and an adjournment was
taken about 4 until 10 to-morrow morn
ing.
FUNERAL 0? MAINE DEAD.
Admiral Sicard has requested Dr. M.i
loney, the Mayor of Key Went, to pr?
vint a local demonstration when the
Muerai Of the Maine's dead occurs. He
has asked that In the event of a para?!?'
being forme.! l?y the residents, only
Ameritan flags be displayed.
Mayor afalonsy has promised to carry
nut A?lmlr->1 Sieard's wistu-s, ?is far as
ptiSSlblB. but doubts whether the strong
Cuban and anti-Spanish sentiment can
!..- suppressed.
All Of the funeral arrang? ment s will
t?.- under the directlo . of Commander
M.?'alia, of the Marttb h< ad. As now
planned, small details of marinee will ha
landed fn?m the VOSSSla ht re and nt TUT

?ill join in paytag Ih? laal honors. The
services will ?probably be held Thursday.
The Interment Will take place in the City

Work of Ihe Legislature Aboat
*t\ er?Ile fore the ?.<> ? ernor.
Tbe sensation of the day in legislative
circles yesterday was the hot political
debate in the Senate over Mr. Flanagan's
resolution prohibiting the payment of
money out of the State Treasury to de
fray the cost of the Bailey meeting at the
Academy lust Week.
A number of gentlemen. Including
prominent cittsens of Richmond as well
as members of the General Assembly and
8tate officials, expressed the deepest re
gret that the mutter had been discussed.
"It has caused me the ?greatest mortifi
cation," said Hon. Joseph W. ...aw I. --
Secretary of the Commonw??alth, a warm,
per-tonal friend of Mr. Bailey. "I would
very much rather have paid every p?nny
of It out of my own pocket. The bill is
a very suibII one, and while it has not yet
been rendered, 1 know enough of the
items to know that it will not ex??eed
fl"5 by one penny."
It is understood that the State will not
have to bear the expense 0f the meeting,
as the entire cost will be borne by a
number of gentlemen who were instru
mental in having Mr. Bailey tome to
Richmond.
ITS WORK ABOUT DONE.
The General Assembly could easily ad
journ to-day, so far as the business on
the calendar in concerned, everything of
importance having been pretty well clear
ed up. The Joint resolution adopted
Monday extending the eesetoa five days,
will, however, preclude adjournment to
day, as well as the fact that the Legis
lature will have'to be in session in order
to be ready to correct errors In legisla
tion which may be developed as Governor
Tybr goes through the bills. It was re
garded that the session practically came
to an end last night, and there will hardly
be a 1'iiorum In either branch to-day,
many members having i;?uie home.
CONSOLIDATION BILL APPROVED.
Governor Tyler yesterday signed the bill
allowing the Rlchrnonil and Petersburg
and the Petersburg railroad companies
to consolidate under the naime of the
Atlantic-Coast Une Company.
Mr. C. V. Meredith, tbe City Attorney
of Richmond, was before the ?Governor
earlier in the day and argued against the
approval of the bill, and Senator.Mc
IIwain?.*, of Petersburg, and Mr. Alexan
der Hamilton, of that city, took issue
with him.
Mr. Meredith argued that in giving the
companies authority to consolidate, the
Richmond and Petersburg Company
should be required to release Its exemp
tion from county and municipal taxation.
He did not think the Legislature fully
appreciated the effect tins bill would have
if it became a law.
Messrs. Mcllwaine and Hamilton as
sured the Governor that the matter had
been fully considered by both branches
of the Legislature, and that the objec
tions Mr. Meredith advanced had been
maid.* to the bill before it was passed.
OPPOSE LABOR BUREAU BILL.
Mr, Carter Glass, of Lynuhburg, will
appear before the Governor to-day, In
company with sev? ral business-men of
that city, to oppose the approval of the
bill creating a bureau of labor statistics.
Mr. Kizer, the patron of the bill, v***lli
will also appear before the Governor to
argue against a veto. He said last night
he was not uneasy; that he believed the
?'.overnor would approve the measure?, as
It had passed the House by a vote of
t?> 5, and the Senate by a unanimous
vote.
It is believed that Governor Tyler will
Veta the bill passed a few days ago
giving to the Krede,rioksburg Butth
Fleld Park Association the right to con
demn lands.
BUGAR-REFINERY RILL
The bill Incorporating the Virginia
Sugjir-Retlnery Company, which finally
..lHSed the Senate yesterday, will per
haps In- (?insK.ered by the Governor to
alaiy. though mainy measures are ahead of
It. The corporators are anxious to have
it signed, In order that steps may be
tehen to enter upon the new enterprise.
The Wharton Insurance bill will be con
ddsred by the Governor to-day. The-re
leSSM no doubt of his giving it his ap
proval.

?HF.KIKF MARTIN TESTIFIES.
No?hin? to Aller Hie Main Story De?
?elope?!.
WILKE8BARRE, PA., March 1.
Sheriff Martin testified In his own de
fence at this afternoon's session ol
court. He told or his actions from Sep
tember -1th. "when he was called from
Atlantic City," up to the day of th?
shooting. He ?lescribetl the dispersing ol
numerous bodies of strikers during th?
period. Getting down to the time of th?
Bhooting, he saht:
"Friday morning I reached Drlfton and
found ail my deputies there. We went to
Lumberyard, a central point. At l o'clock
in the afternoon I got a message that
the strikers were marching through Cran
berry, bound for Lattlmer. 1 hurried off
with the Hazloton deputies to Intercept
th?- men at West Hazloton. While ?going
there I repostad my instructions to the
deputies about keeping cool and avoiding
trouble, If possible.
"The mobs wer? at us when we ap
peared, cursed me, and would not budge
when I told them to do so. I read my
proclamation and walked through them,
asking them to go home. One young
man swore at me violently, and said they
would go to ijatflmer In spite of me. 1
arrested him. One man picked up a stone,
but dropped it when I pointed my re
volver at him.
"I told a crowd of spectators to gro
home, as the striker? were desperate, and
there might be trouble. Final!-/, the
strikers left the mad and started off over
some lots. Soon I heard they were going
to Lattlmer, and I ?hurried off with my
?I? puties to Intercept them. I told them
again to keep cool, and not to shoot unless
their lives were or mine was In danger.
After lining them up alongside the road,
I told them I would go out to meet the
strikers and try once more to disperse
them. A deputy asked If he should not go
with me. 'No,' I said, 'I'll go alone.' 1
thought one man was enough to die at
once. I felt ?--omehow there was going to
be trouble. I met tho strikers about fifty
yards from the deputies and asked them
where they were going. 'To stop the Lat
tlmer breaker,' a lot of them cried. I told
them that they must not go, and tried to
read my proclamation, bu*. they crowded
around me, swearing at me, and hustling
me to one side.
"One man tried to grab mo, and I then
attempted to get bold of him, but the
crowil Jumped on me and pounded me
about the bo?ly, I dropped my paper and
pulled my revolver. One of the men tried
to snatch the revolver from mo, but fill
ed. Then he struck me an awful blow In
tho face and knocked me to my knees. 1
tried to shoot him, but my revolver woubi
not explode. Then 1tu> ?hotting com
menced. It lasted about a half minute.
"In tho crowd I saw throe men armed
with revolvers, and one with a knife. The
latter m.?de a Btab at me, but missed.
Two men wore shot Just ?behind me to
ti? left. T wais In the dt*-?rt line of ftre."
The <5ross-examinat*lon. conduotod by
Mr. Scarlett, last.-tl for two hours, and
will be resumed to-morrow.
While many minor details were brought
out, nothing was adduced to affect the
train story.
A number of witnesses examined before
Sherirt Martin told of disorderly action by
the strikers.

BRITAIN IN CHINA.
Her Inter?*?.??? "Paramount, But Not
Exclusive."
LONDON. March 1?Sir Ellis Ashmead
Bartlett. In the House of Commons to
day having brought up the ?Chinese ques
tion and the advan?-e of Russia, Mr. Oat*
zon, after some debate, said that "British
interests in China were paramount, but
not exclusive."
The British nation, ho continued, would
not be Justified In regarding legitim u?
competitors with Jealousy, but ough?.
rather to "use nil efforts to keep. In an
age of competition, what was won in an
age of monopoly."
Great Britain's policy was to prwcnt
the disruption and to oppose the aliena
tion of Chinese territory, and it was not
?kely that Great Britain would regard
with satisfaction the attempts of others
in the direction of such disruption and
-?alienation.
Great Britain, he declared, had taken
h-r stand upon the ireuty of Tlen-Tsln,
which empowered her to oppose the im
position of special tariffs by other Powers
at Chinese ports; and no British Govern
ment would ever coLsent to an abandon
ment or curtailment of treaty rights.
The matter was then dropped, and the
House adjourned.
