(By Leased Wire to The Times.) New York, Nov, 12. It has been learned by careful inquiry among the officers of the battleships at the Brooklyn navy yard that the transfer of the Atlantic fleet to Pacific waters, soon to be made, is of far greater sig nificance than the practice cruise the navy officials have announced it to be. The great object of the trip around the Horn is the establishment of a permanent navy in Asiatic wa ters. The interests . of the country in the Philippines are to be safe guarded by a navy with a greater ag gregate tonnage than the entire Jap anese navy. ': According to the best Information obtainable at the Brooklyn navy yard seven battleships are to be added to those already in the Philippines and will be stationed permanently at Su blg Bay, the new naval station over which Secretary Taft and Admiral Dewey clashed with each other, the former favoring Manila Bay. The vessels to remain In Asiatic waters, according to the general knowledge of the navy are the Con necticut, the New Jersey, the Louis iana, the Virginia, the Georgia, the Rhode Island, the Alabama, and pos sibly the Maine. It has not yet been decided whether the Maine is to be Included, thus making the number of ships eight. The new vessels are the best In the world, with average speed of eigh teen knots and mounted with the heaviest guns in the navy. They are being manned with carefully selected crews. Only men with long terms of enlistment are to be taken to the Far East, those whose terms expire In the near future being transferred. The men on the Connecticut say that the next pay day they will receive will beinSan Francisco and that they will not be granted shore leave at that point. '- The ships will depart tor the Phil ippines shortly after their arrival at San Francisco. Admiral Evans will board the Connecticut as his flagship at San Francisco. December Oth Day Set.

" Another report, heretofore un heard, is that the ships will bo paint ed in the service colora dark drab, such as made them look their ugliest during the Spanish war.

Regardless of this element of : the trial, however, there is to be a silent story told vl.loh after air may decide the fate of the woman ajt the bar. This is the mute testimony of two lit tle boys who are to be by their moth er's side during her darkest hour and to whom she will point and say: "These are his children.

Washington, No. 12 Mrs. Bradley w quite content to leave entirely to her counsel the selection of the twelve men upon whom is to depend her fate. There is no disposition on her part to dominate in this matter. Indeed, it is extremely Improbable that she will express a preference one way or the other for any one of the jury. Such a disposition is entirely at '. vari ance - with the actions of other per sons on trial for similar offenses, some of whom have overridden counsel in sisting that certain 'types of men should be numbered among the twelve. It Is especially recalled that at the Thaw trial the young millionaire, in sisted that he should be consulted in PAROLED TILL TRIAL (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Chicago, Nov. li Etta L.

SMALLPOX CHICAGO 11V GRANT'S ALLEGED OFFER TO THE CONFEDERACY (By Leased Wire to The-Times.) Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 12. Concerning the alleged . tender by General I'. S. Grant of his service to the Conljderacy, Mrs. Willa Fyffe, of this city, tells an interesting story. Mrs. Fyffe is the widow of! Colonel .1 amps P. Fyffe of the 59th Ohio volunteer infantry in the Civil War, who lived at Georgetown, Blown county, Ohio, and his regi ment came from Brown and Cler mont counties. Mrs. Fyffe says: "General Grant lived as a boy at Georgetown, Ohio, and went to West Point from that place by appoint ment from Congressman Thomas L. Hainer, who afterwardss became General llanier, of Mexican War fame. As a boy General 'Grant was well known throughout the country and was usually referred to as 'Lyss' Grant. . . "About the time of Lincoln's in auguration when the war talk was getting warm and the south was preparing for action there camo a rumor to the effect that Captain Grant, who had resigned from the FIRST MOVE OF DEFENCE ft PLEA IN ABATEMENT The Defense Offered the Pardon (Jiveit Power by Former Governor Taylor as a Plea in Abatement.

When the trial of Caleb Powers was resume ed here tliis morning the common wealth, after the roll call of wit nesses showing that many of the ab sent witnesses which caused the postponement yesterday were pres ent, through Attorney ,0. R. Frank lin, chief counsel for the prosecution, promptly answered ready. The defence at once filed in court a jilea"' of' abatement containing the pardon given Powers by Governor W. S. Taylor after the commission of the alleged crime. This was turned over to the attorneys for the common wealth, who retired ! to examine and confer about it. Arthur Goebel, brother of the dead senator, was present at the hearing this morning. Powers came Into court looking more cheerful and con fident even than yesterday. A small crowd Is attending the trial and but little interest is manifested. It was learned from an apparently reliable source today that Governor Willson will make no requisition upon the governor of Indiana for the return of exiled former Governor W. S. Taylor to stand trial for alleged complicity in the murder of Senator Goebel. 7 Argument Consumed AH Morning. Judge Morris overruled the motion of the defense to file the plea and pardon after vigorous objection by the prosecution, which was allowed that the validity of the pardon was not within the jurisdiction of the court, as the court of appeals had al ready passed upon that phase of the question, The defense, , however, scored a point In obtaining permis sion to make avowal of the pardon, thus getting that document in the re cords over the emphatic objection of the prosecution ,which was allowed to make exceptions. Considerable argument was had on this point. Court then adjourned until 2 o'clock when tho avowal with the proof will be filed. Taylor Will Return. The reason for this Is an an nouncement alleged to have been made by Taylor that he would return : for trial without a requisition as soon as Governo&r Willson takes his seat, as he is then assured of a fair trial.

"This made him popular amongst the element of Brown county peo ple who afterward became known aa oc'pperheads' and 'Vallandingbam men.' When the hostilities finally began, and it became a question of firing upon the flag the democratic sentiment which had opposed the war changed and the county nearly as a whole became intensely loyal to tho union. "It wan then reported that Captain Grant had changed his mind, as a great many Brown county people had done, and had offered his servi ces to the governor of Illinois, wbo had accepted them. All of this created very little talk or discuRslon at the time because Captain Grant was not then a man of much promi nence, and other questions of more moment drove it out of the public mind. Later In the. war when be had become a major general, there wua more talk on the subject but Gen eral Grant had become a popular hero and no attention was paid to it."-.- .-- "
