Judge Cornish , in the Lancaster dis
trict court , rendered a decision in
which he holds that the act of the last
legislature , known popularly as the
deficiency judgment law , is valid. The
act created a great deal of interest
at the time it was pending and its
opponents contended that it was in
valid in that it affected contracts by
depriving the creditor of his ri ht to
recover the full amount of his debt
when the mortgaged property did not
bring enouph to pay it off. Judge
Cornish holds that the act merely gives
the mode of procedure and does not
prevent the creditor from bringing an
action at law on the notes and recov
ering full judgment.
Captain Baxter , Quartermaster of
the Department of the Missouri , U. S.
A. , has received a teegram from th
War department officially informing
him that the Twenty-second infantry
has been ordered to Fort Crook. Plans
for the reception to be tendered to
the regiment are delayed by a lack of
knowledge of how and when the men
will return. If the Burlington road
should secure the contract for hauling
the regiment the soldiers will not
come through Omaha. The trains
will cross the river at Plattsmouth
and go from there directly to Fort
Crook. If any of the three other Chicago
cage lines handle the business of the
soldiers will pass through the Omaha
Union depot , and an opportunity for
a demonstration there will be af
forded.

The Cabinet Shifts the Responsi
bility of a Revision ,
UNABLE TO GET TOGETHER
A Commission Appointed by the Minis to
of Justice Will Go Over the Papers ani
Decide 'VVlictlicr a Retrial Is Justidci
Cabinet Changes Likely.
PATHS , Sept. 19. At a meeting of th
cabinet ministers to-day it was decide *
to submit the documents in the Drey
fus case to a commission to be selectee
by the minister of justice , M. Sarrien
The minister for war , General Zurlin
den , and the minister for publiq works
Senator Tillaye , left before the coun
cil adjourned , which is interpreted a
meaning that they do not agree wit !
their colleagues in this matter am
that they intend to resign.
The council met at the Elysce palaci
at half past 0 o'clock , President Faun
presiding. According to a semi-officia
note the minister of justice said tha
after having examined the papers hi
felt unable to decide upon the ques
tion of the proposed revision of th <
Dreyfus casa until he had taken th
opinion of a special committee of tb <
ministry of justice. The cabinet there
upon authorized the minister to sum
inon a committee for the purpos2.
It is reported now that the portfoli (
of minister of war will be offered t <
General LcBrun or M. DeFreycinct
and that if they refuse to accept the
office M. Brisson , will assume the du
ties of minister of war , in addition t <
the premiership , and M. Vallee will be
appointed minister of the interior.
The reason that a retrial is sc
dreaded by the French military chief ;
is that it may prove Dreyfus innocent ,
This would be a shock to the prestige
of the army chiefs who convicted him
A retrial would also make public se
crcts connected with the French spj
system ; it might show that Russia was
not the implicit friend of France ane
it might disclose general incompetence
in the- army management.
Official circles and the public gcner
ally are in no way perturbed by the
news from Fashoda. On the coutrar\
they appear to be indifferent. Mud
greater excitement prevails respecting
the Dreyfus affair.
A curious story is published that a
passenger steamer * which , while pass

BCC the habitation of Captain Drej'fus ,
was fired on four times by cannon on
the island. It was learned afterwards
that all vessels venturing too near
were similarly greeted.
O'BRIEN'S LIFE
DEATH CLEARS ,
At Santiago the Scandals of the Romeyn
Court Martial \Vero Wiped Out.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 19. The death
of Lieutenant Michael J. O'Brien , at
Santiago , is reported bore. Lieuten
ant O'Brien was a principal in the no
torious O'Brien-llomeyn court martial
at Fort MePherson , Ga. , last year.
The lieutenant was appointed to
West Point from Massachusetts seven
teen years ago , and was an honor
graduate of the infantry and cavalry
school at Fort Leavenworth in 1S93.
Such was his record that he was de
tailed by the government to observe
the Chinese-Japanese war and report
on it.
On the parade ground at Fort McPherson -
Pherson last year he publicly accused
Captain Henry Romeyn , a veteran of
the civil war , of slandering his wife.
Romeyn slapped O'Brien in the face.
A court-martial followed , in which
O'Brien preferred charges against
Romeyn. A nest of scandals was un
covered at Fort McPherson and
Romeyn was retired from the service.
Charges of drunkenness and conduct
unbecoming an officer were then
brought against Lieutenant O'Brien.
To escape trial he resigned from the
army last fall.
At the outbreak of the war he reentered -
entered the service and died doing his
luty at Santiago.
Had All Medicines Necessary.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 19. Major Ily-
scll , chief surgeon of the Second elivis-
ion , First army corps , now at Camp
Poland , Knoxville. in a , private letter
to the surgeon general of the army ,
iated September 14 , says : "I will say
that mv opportunity to know the
working of the medical department
while at Camp Thomas was perhaps
is good , if not much better , than that
Df almost any medical officer on duty
there , and I will say that at no time
luring the stay in the park was there
my difficulty in procuring all neces
sary medical and hospital supplies if
Lhe proper effort was made.

MANILA , Sept. 19. The Philippin
general assembly was inaugurated a
Malolos yesterday with great enthui
iasm. There were thousands of visii
ors from the province , and a great di :
play was made. Aguinaldo , who wa
received with cheers and -also wit
cries of "Viva America ! " by the larg
crowd of natives inside and outside th
hall , read a decree convening the men :
bers , who included several Spaniards
lie next read a message eulogizing th
army , and thanking the friendly us

Continuing , Aguinaldo urgently am
eloquently exhorted the assembly t
'follow the noblest principles" and in
voked the "spirits of the martyre' '
Filipinos. " The assembly then ad
journcd for the day.
During the afternoon many Anieri
cans and Europeans arrived am
Aguinaldo was kept busy reeeivSn ]
visitors , including the American con
sul.
Aguinaldo professed entire ignor
ance of the autonomous system ii
vogite in the British colonies , of pro
tectorates and of American stat
autonomy. He said he was unable t <
understand the idea and only under
stood "absolute independence. " Per
sonally , he believed a protectorate fo
the Philippine islands was desirable
but he feared that the people would to

studied political economy and knev
nothing about the various forms o
government. lie inquired whethe ;
Australia was an American colony , am
said he had never heard of a Mala ;
protectorate.
Continuing , the insurgent leadei
said there was no need for protectioi
for the Philippine islands , because th <
Filipinos were able to cope with an }
army. He admitted that he had nevei
seen a foreign army , with the excep
tion of the garrisons at llong Kom
and Singapore and he had never scei
these troops on parade.
" Aguinaldo refused to discuss th <
American army and protested his un
dying gratitude to the Americans. 1I <
said they had come to the Philippine ;
to fight the Spaniards only , and , nov
that they had finished the task , it wa ;
to be expected that they would return
to America. He was unwilling to be
lieve that the Americans would de
rnaiid a reward for an act of humanity
and he declined to admit the necessity
of a quid pro quo.
The Filipino leader expressed him'
self confident that the newly foundec
government would build a navy ulti-
matety. In the meantime , he said , tht
great nation should protect and aid n
young nation , instead of grabbing her
territory. If the Americans ihoule ]
refuse to withdraw , the national as
sembly , he said , must decide the policy
to be pursued a policy which , ha de
clined to forecast.

Amounted to 830,000 a Year.
BELFAST , Ireland , Sept. 19.
Rev. Dr. John Hall of New York dice
this morning at Bangor , county Down
He was planning to sail for Amcric ;
shortly to take up his work as paste :
of the Fifth Avenue Prcsbytcriar
church of New York.
XKW YOKK , Sept. 19. The death o
Dr. Hall comes just at the time wher
the troubles that cloudeel the end o
his long pastorate of thirty years ovc ]
the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian churcl
of this city were clearing. Dr. Rail * ;
connection with the church began ii
1907 , and eight years later his mem
bers built a church costing $1,000,001
at Fifth avenue and Fifty-first street
Dr. Hall's trouble began last summei
in his support of Herman Warszawiak
a Jewish missionary of the church
Warszawiak was found guilty of mis
conduct by the session anel was ex
pelled from the church. Dr. Ilr-ll's
sympathies were with Warszawiak.
and his attitude at that time antagon
ized the members of the session.
Dr. Hall resigned in January. HJJ
friends declared the trouble over the
Warszawiak incident had nothing tc
do with the resignation. The trustees
refused to accept it. but there was sc
much dissatisfaction expressed over the
action that they resigned in a body.
A new board was elected , but Dr. Hall
was retained. His rigiel adherence to
Calvinism was not in accordance with
the views of his people , but the vener
ation felt for him \vas too great for his
people to let him go. He was , there
fore , given a vacation , which has just
ended with his death.
Dr. Hall was born in County
Armagh , Ireland , July 31 , 18-9. He
was of Scotch elescent. It is said that
his wedding fees often amounted to
S30.000 a year. He gave a great deal
of money to the poor. An attempt
was made on his life by John G. Roth ,
an insane man. seven years ago. Roth
fired at him three times , but missed
him.
Socially , Dr. Hall was a great favor
ite in New York , and it is said that
his polished manners won him a suc
cess with his fashionable congrega
tion that intellect never could have
done. He was in elisfavor with the
Vanderbilts anel some of the other
rich members of the congregation in
the last few years because he per
formed the marriage ceremony for
weddings of which they did not ap
prove.

Albert of Belgium and other person
ages of high rank. Even after the

outside. The presidents of both
houses of the Austrian and Hungarian

ucen employed about the docks , were
placed on easier work by Lieutenant

egitimate results of their labor.
Plenty of food renders the ordinary

GENERAL SHATTER'S REPORT ;
"Washington Makes It Public Through tha
Press.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 10. General
Ehaf tor's report of the campaign which
terminated in the fall of Santiago has.
been made public. He briefly recounts
the organization of the expedition anei
its embarkment , and then devotes th *
main body of the report to the activej
operations about Santiago.
The general goes into lengthy detail
over the landing of troops , the battles
fought , the surrender of Santiago ,
etc. , all of which is already well
known to newspaper readers. Nothing
is made public of the Scovel incident ,
or the alleged misunderstanding with
General Miles or of the tilt with
Garcia.
In closing he says : "Before closing
my report 1 wish to dwell upon the
natural obstacles I had to encounter ,
and which no foresight could have
overcome or obviated ! The rocky and
precipitous coast afforded no sheltered
landing places , the roads were mere
bridal paths , the effect of the tropical
sun and rains upon the unacclimated
troops was deadly , and a dread of
strange and unknown diseases had its
effect on the army.
"At Baiquiri the landing of troops
and stores was made at a small wooden
wharf , which the Spaniarels tried to
burn , but unsuccessfully , 'and the an
imals were pushed into the water and
guided to a sandy beach about 200
yards in extent. At Siboney the land
ing was made on the beach and at a
small wharf erected by the engineers.
"I had neither the time nor the men
to spare to construct permanent
wharves. In spite of the fact that I
had nearly 1,000 men continuously at
work on the roads , they were at times
impassable for wagons.
"The San Juan and Aguadores rivers
would often suddenly rise so as to pre
vent the passage of wagons , and then
the eight pack trains with the com
mand had to be depended upon for the
victualing of my army , as well as the
20.000 refugees who could not , in the
interests of humanity , be left to starve
while we had rations. Often for days
nothing could be moved except on
pack trains.
"After the great physical strain and
exposure of July 1 and 2 the malarial
and other fevers began to rapidly ad
vance throughout the command , and
on July 4 the yellow fever appeared at
Biboney. Though efforts were made
to keep this fact from tha army , it
soon became known.
"The supply of quartermaster and
commissary stores during the cam
paign was abundant and notwithstand
ing the difficulties in landing and
transporting the rations , the troops on
Lhe firing line were at all times sup
plied with its coarser components ,
camely , oat bread , meal , sugar and
: offee. There was no lack of trans
portation , for at no time up to the
surrender could all the wagons I had
be used.
"In reference to the sick and
tvounded I have to say that they re-
: eived every attention that it was pos
sible to give them. The medical ofS-
: ers , without exception , worked night
ind day to alleviate the suffering ,
vhich was no greater than invariably
iccompanies a campaign. It would
lave been better if we had more am-
julances , but as many \vere taken , as
, vas thought necessary , judging from
previous campaigns. "
