Portsmouth, England, June 24.—
This was the day of ships and sailors.
The king and queen and the foreign
representatives at the coronation left
the capital and came here for the
great naval review off Spit Head. Fine
weather put the finishing touches on
one of the most magnificent displays
of the week.
Their majesties, pcccmpanled by the
official envoys of other countries, came
came from London in a special train.
The king wore an admiral’s uniform.
The prince of Wales was in a mid
shipman’s uniform. The queen, Prin
cess Mary and nearly all of the royal
ladies were dressed in navy blue. With
their majesties were all the other
members of the imperial family.
Many special trains were run from
London, carrying Indian princes, peers
and peeresses, members of Parlia
ment, lords of the admirallty and dip
lomats. The regular trains and ex
cursion trains arriving during the
morning added great numbers to the
thousands already gathered here from
all parts of the world. Seventeen na

San Uiego, Cal.. .lune 24*.—The losses
of • Cleneral” Mosby’s forces in Tijuana
Thursday were much greater than first
reportd indicated. Celsio Vega, in com
mand of the Federals, reported last
iid'vidiiHl own-Light that his men buried thirty-one
bodies, and that a total of fifty-eight
had ])een found. Corpses were placed
in trcnches south of the town. Few if
any of them will ever be identified.
Americans were admitted to Tiajua-
na yesterday. It is now oelleved that
the federals have no prisoners.
A Mexican who was arrested as a
spv b.v Vega’s men yesterday after
noon was given until this morning to
satisfy the federals that he is not an
Insurgent emissary. If he fails he will
be shot.
Of the number ten were battleships
of the Dreadnought class from the Bri
tish navy, and one visiting Dread
nought, the German Von der Tann.
First, however, in size and armament
was the American battleship Dela
ware.
Various types of warships added to
the British Dreadnoughts and Invinci-
bles made the total British contingent
170 ships.
All the vessels in the roadstead, in
cluding the foreign warships and ex
cursion steamers with spectators were
moored in lines supplemented by short

boats.
The fleet occupied an area of about
18 square miles.

Washington, D. C., June 24.—Keen
Interest was aroused in the Lorimer
Investigation today when it became
known tl^at Clarence S. Funk, general
mana^fys^'f t»j.e International Hsrves-
ter would be the witness of
the day.
It was he who created the sensation
before the Helm investigating commit
tee of the Illinois legislature, by testi
fying that Edward Hines, of Chicago,
asked him to contribute for his com
pany $10,000 tov»rard a $100,000 fund
which had been used in electing Lori
mer. His reports of this alleged con
versation probably were the cause of
the second investigation by the senate
of the Lorimer election.
The probability of Lorimer’s coun
sel subjecting the witness to a rigid
cross-examination in an endeavor to
break down the testimony added to
the general interest. As was the case
in the examination of Edgar A. Ban
croft, general counsel for the Interna
tional Harvester Company, a grilling
was expected on the point of why the
alleged conversation w'as not given to
the public earlier.

The entire membership of the com

Mr. Bancroft was recalled as a wit
ness at the opening of today’s- session.
William J. Hines, on behalf of Lor.
imer’s counsel, asked the witness
about the interest of the McCor
mickfamily, connected with the Inter
national Harvest Company, in the
recent mayoralty campaign in Chica
go. Mr. Bancroft testified he was an
Inactive member of the Merriam fi
nance committee, but reiterated that
he knew nothing more about the con
tributions of the McCormick family to
the Merriam campaign fund other
than what he had , seen in the news
papers. Mr. Hines- inquired particular
ly about a reported $10,000 contri
bution charged to Mrs. Nettie Mc

For those who attend the hearing
Dr. Wiley has formulated a formidable

every phase of the manufacture of
beer, ale, porter and stout; One of the
points upon which the board desires
light is the meaning of the terms

If any domestic brews of beer, ale.

Date for Brown Wedding.
By Associated Press.
Elkins, W. Va., June 24.—It is an-
_ nounced that the marriage of Mlsa
the convicted New York banker on j Katherine Brown, granddaughter of
two grounds. It is contended that as i ex-Senator Henry Gassaway Davis, to
Morse was convicted on a misdemean-; Lieut. Chester P. Barnett, of the
or charge he can not be incarcarated Third Field Artillery, U. S. ‘A., will be
lawfully in a prison erected solely for solemnized Thursjday, June 29th, at
felons. It is contended further that
the 15-year sentence is excessive in
that the law limits the court to 10
years on any one count on the offense
charged against Morse.
Morse originally was convicted on
53 counts, but the court of appeals
sustained only four of the counts, all
charging false entry. As no mention
was made of the counts by the court
in passing sentence, Morse’s attorneys
contend that it must be construed as
being on one count only.
Referring to Morse as probably the
most thoroughly tried man who has
ever had his day in court,” the United
States district attorney opposed the
granting of the writ on the ground that
no new points had been raised, ar
guing that all the contentions on
which the petition was based had been
disposed of at previous hearings.
Several hours were devoted by the
court to hearing arguments on the pe
tition at the end of which Judge New
man indicated that he would take the
matter under advisement.
