aeMwtast j ... , . OUT HEW YORK'S DEFENSES ARMY AND NAVY TO JOIN IN MANEUVERS, BUT WITHOUT SHAM BATTLES. I New York, July 26. For the first t me since 1905 the army and the navy will join in n am vers and exercises on a large scale around the oi ter circle of defenses of the port of New York, beginning on August 3 and continuing until August 9. The official seat of war as announced from the headquarters of the Depart ment of the east on Governor's Island yesterday afternoon, will be Long Island Sound, Block Island Sound and the adjacent waters of the Atlantic. The Atlantic fleet, will advance from the neighborhood of Nantucket Shoals and will endeavor to avoid the vigilance of the coast defenders on the outlying islands and make their way into the Sound. Officiajly, it ii announced, the maneu vers will not be a "sham battle," and the principle of the contest will be ex cluded, but the rivalry between the two arms of the service is something that cannot be eliminated by official orders ami on both sides everything that hints at the possibility of . comparison be tween attackers and defenders will be eagerly seized upon. The purpose of the exercises, on the part of the army, is announced to be the development and practical testing of all the devices of coast defence, by night and by day, Including the use of searchlights on shore and the control of gun and mine fire from the control stations. ' On the part of the navy, although Rear-Admiral Badger has not made public his plans for the. six days' exer cises, it is understood a complementary programme has been arranged. This will naturally include the handling of battleships within radjgc of coast-de fense guns and in suspected mine fields, the use of countermining ships, night use of torpedo vfdfsjds ia scouting for obstructions, etc. All coast-defense officers from Maine to the Delaware Capes have been di rected by Major-Gen. Barry to join in the exercises to the extent of placing their commands, for the time being, on precisely the same footing and in the same condition as though a state of war existed. The actual seat of war is under the command of Col. J. V. White, who is in charge of the North Atlantic Coast Artillery district, with headquarters at Fort Totten, and of Lieut -Col. R. P. Davis in command of the Long Island Sound defenses. 9IAN1 ARMENIAN IN LAW'S GRASP CHICAGO JEWELRY THIEF CAU GHT WHILE HE SLUMBERED IN HOTEL ROOM. Baltimore, July 26.

In Trail Of Delegate Rhodes Of West Virginia. STORY OF BRIBREY REPEATED Fifteen Thousand Dollars Handed To Rhodes Just Before He Was Arrested. Webster Springs, W. Va., July '26, The purpose of his employment, by whom employed and his connection with the payment to the defendant- of a total of $16,350 was gone, into by Guy B. Biddirfger, the Burns de tective employed by Prosecuting At7 tnrnev Tonus C. Townsend. of Kanawha county, in the trial of S. U. G. Rhodes,. member of the House of Delegates from Mingo county, here yesterday. Payments of money to Rhodes, the detective testified, began on "Jgrauary 24 last and continued until February 11, when $15,000 was handed Rhodes and his arrest affected a few minutes later. The defense sought to show in the cross examination that Biddinger has been employed to buy votes for yviHiam Seymour Edwards and not to detect and secure evidence that could be used against a bribe seeker, but the witness submited telegrams sent and received by him which supported the claims that he was engaged,, in securing evi dence of corruption. It appeared from t lie questions asked that the defense will make an effort to show that Biddinger employed Rhodes' to work for Edwards and that any sums of money received, by Rhodes were paid him for that purpose. Biddinger insisted that Rhodes had demanded $10,000 before he would change his Vote and deliver his speech in favor of Edwards 0n February 11. He told further of securing $15,000, showing the money to Rhodes and prom ising to give him that sum after delivery of the speech which had been prepared and casting his' vote for Edwards; that Rhodes made the speech and chan ged his vote from Isaac T. Mann and received the money, the denomination and other identification marks on each bill having beep previously taken by the prosecuting attorney and other witnesses. H. G. Young, chief clerk in the office og the Secretary of State, and John Guy Pritchard, clerk of the House of Delegates, also testified, the former to the oath taken by. Rhodes and the latter appearing to present the records of the House and the joint assembly to show how Rhodes voted. TAKE MOONLIGHT SAIL. Party Of Young People Take Trip To Wilkinson's Point.

Circumstances and all nature com bined to favor the occasion. Having partaken of refreshments just at leaving our party had only to yield themselves to the charm of the hour. The soft sighing of the breeze and murmur of ' waters, mingled with their songs and' laughter. The full moon in a cloudless sky cast a magic spell o'er alii Arrived at the beautiful beach, enjoyment reached a climax, while lovely maidens strolled near the water's edge appearing in the silvery light of the moon as to many naiads or nymphs that at a moment's warning might vanish in the gem-crested waves. Loth we were to leave the enchanted spot, but all pleasures have an end. The return voyage was but a delightful repitition of the first.
