TWO REPORTS
ARE PROBABLE
On Investigation of the Browns
ville Raid.
Testimony of Connor and Jagou. One
More Witness Will Conclude Invest
igation Foraker Still Holds
Soldiers Innocent
Washington, Nov. 26. With
the possible exception of one more
witness, the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs today concluded
the hearing of the testimony bear
ing on the riot in Brownsville on
the-night of August 13, 1906, and
another meeting will be held Fri
day for the purpose of listening to
the one remaining witness if it is
decided to put him on the stand.
Whether auy more testimony is
taken or not the committee ex
pects to be able to meet next Mon
day for the purpose of considering
the question as to what report shall
be made on the inquiry. It is ex
pected there will be two reports,
one holding the colored soldiers
responsible for the shooting nnd
justifying the course of the Presi
dent in discharging them, and an
other to be proposed by Senator
Foraker, taking the position that
the testimony has not been suffi
cient to hold the troops respon
sible. Two witnesses were heard to
day. They were George Connor,
chief of police of Brownsville, and
L. A. Jagou, a citizen of that city.
Very little was developed.
Connor said that he had been
warned in advance and that the
Mayor of the city told him to in
vestigate the assault on Mrs.
Evans which that official had said
had been committed by a negro
soldier. Then the shooting occu
red. He was at some distance
down the street. He saw , no fir
ing. "Did anybody tell you who did
it?'' asked Senator Foraker.
"Everybody said the soldiers
did it," the witness replied.
, He said, the people and especial
ly the women were in a state of
terror for some time afterwards.
He had appealed to the President
for protection, but it was brought
out that, notwithstanding this ap
peal, the witness as chief of police,
had retained the service of only
two policemen out of an entire
force of twelve, who had gone in
to hiding safe-keeping, as he
put it while the shooting was in
progress. Asked about these offi
cials, he said they were less effi
cient than some of the other mem
bers of his small force.
Jagou was in the Matron house
jnside Fort Brown when the firing
occurred, and when he went out
tq inquire about it a sentry came
running along and said: "You
white people had better get in, if
you don't want to get hurt."
Both he and Connors were sure
the reports of the firearms were
from high-power guns.
COIN'S DESIGN UNFITTING.
Saint Gaudens' Indian Maid Wears a
Man's War Bonnet.
Members of the Chicago Numis
matic Society believe the female
head has no right to bear the male
Indian "war bonnet," as Saint
Gaudens permitted in his gold coin
design, and have sent a letter to
President Roosevelt-
The society, through its sculptor,
J. H. Ripstra, proposes a new de
sign for the double eagles. It Js
that of a simple Indian male face
with two feathers in the headdress,
indicative of the rank of chief.

LOST PAGAN1NI
WORKS FOUND.
Fourteen Compositions by the Famous
Violinist Come to Light in Genoa.
Rome A discovery has just
been made in Genoa which will
delight all music lovers. It is a
well known fact that very little
remains of the musical composi
tions of Niccolo Paganini, the sen
sational violin player, for the
reason that what his contemporaries
deemed his most original and
charming creations were often the
inspiration of time and place, and
often, too, their transcription was
impossible. Moreover, much of
the music that today bears his
name has been radically changed.
And now in Genoa fourteen of
his compositions have come to
light, all written in the maestro's
own hand. Among them is the
famous "B minor concerto" which
astonished the musicians of his
time, and whether executed by
Paganini himself or by his suc
cessor Sivori, never failed to arouse
fervent applause.
Paganini published during his
lifetime only five works "Venti
guattro Capricci per Violino solo
dedicati agli artisti," "Sei Sonati
per Violino e Chitarra," and in
two volumes ' 'Tre gran Quartetti
a Violino, Viola, Chitarra, e Vio
loncello,'' making in all thirty
niqe pieces.
As the newly discovered manu
scripts come under the law which
prohibits the export of art objects
without the consent of the Italian
Government, negotiations for their
purchase by the State have already
been begun by the ministry of fine
arts. New York Times.
TO BLESS CHAPEL
AT SANTA MARIA.
Rev. Constantineau, Provincial of Oblates,
Will Consecrate the New Edifice Sun
day. Preparatory Triduum to
Be Held-
The solemn ceremony of con
secrating the new Catholic chapel
which has lately been completed
at Santa Maria, this county, will
take place Sunday. Very Rev.
Father H. A. Constantineau, O.
M. I., Provincial of the Oblate
order in Texas, who is pastor of
St. Mary's Chuch in San Antonio,
will perform the ceremony. He
arrived in Brownsville last night,
and will go from here to Santa
Maria for that purpose. In ac
cordance with the usual custom of
the church, a preparatory triduum
will be held in the new chapel, be
ginning tomorrow, which will be
conducted by Rev. Father Piatt of
Roma. Father Piatt arrived ' here
last night from Roma, and will go
to Santa Maria tomorrow morning.
The new chapel is not an entire
ly new structure, being in reality
the old chapel remodeled and en
larged. It is said to have been
very much improved and makes a
very' neat and commodious house
of worship as completed.
