polntmetita Ills Letter Aliout Cruisers.
Wasiiinoton October 20". Secretary
Whltnoy has addressed a communication to
the commandants of tho Navy Yards at
New York Portsmouth Norfolk and Mars
Island requesting reports from the beads of
tho bureaus In tlio yards upon tho results
attending tlio appointment of new foremen
and tho organization of n new force. Tlio
Secretary also Invites the commandants to
mnko such observations as they may deslro
with roferenco to tho efficiency of tbo now
foremen with a view to determine whether
In any caso mistakes have been mado In
their selection. Ono point on which In-
formation Is particularly desired Is whether
any ono of tho present foremen has selected
men not good workmen constituting an In-
efficient force or has appeared to bo gov-
erned by political considerations rather than
In tho Interest of the yard. In connection
with tho report of the Naval Board regard-
ing the cruisers tho following letter written
by Secretary Wiitncy August 11 to Mr.
Vanderpool counsel for John Itoach Is fur-
nished for publication.
Pin: At our Interview this morning I said I
would put In writing tho course which I In-
tended to pursue with tho Huston Atlanta
and Chicago embodying- my expectation
wlt'i rcferonco to them. Mr author ty Is of
course limited by the terms of tlio contract.
My viowof tho matter Is tbat tho present cir-
cumstances call upon ino to oiorclae n fair
business Judgment with rozart to tbo boats
and 1 think It would be folly for the (lovcrn-
ment not to toko such steps as nro found to
bo necessary to complelo them In ncconl-
nnco with tbo terms of tho contract nod
specifications. When tho inventories have
bcon mado nnd the nppralsal contemplated
by the contract hnd I seo no reason
to doubt tbat my decision will then
be precisely what It would be at tho presont
tlmo namely: ' . ndcr existing circum-
stances tho Government should rescue Its
property brnvnlllng Itself of tho terms of
the contract and carrying the ships forward
to completion. In doing so Inasmuch ns lu
tho end It Is practlcallr ilono nt the expense
of tho contractor (because an accounting; la
provided for nt which tho bataneo of profit
nnd loss is struck for or niralnst blm). I
should acorn It entirely proper whllo
keonlng control and direction of tho"k
that It should bo dono In tho yard
of tho contractor and with his force.
The plans aro thcro; tho organiza-
tion Is thcro familiar with tho ships:
and tho necessities of tho Government
art fully met If an exacting: supervision Is
retained nnd control over tho forco Is re-
tained but tho work Is conducted with tbo
foremen and force which tbo contractor's
yard la able lu supply. In this way probably
greater economy of expenditure would be
effected than In any other war nnd tho large
forco now out of cmnlovment would bo nhlo
to rcsumo worx. au this

drawn-out look of Intense affection. Al-
most mechanically their hands wero clasped
and then they were in cacti other's arms.
Tears wero falling from tho old man's eyes
which lis In vain sought to hide. Tbo
father's grief touched tho unworthy
son and be too wept silently and bitterly
hot a word was spoken as they stood
thcro In that clom embrace two per-
fect pictures of deep sorrow and
better memories. Then tlio old man drew
back and again gazed at his son who whis-
pered some word unheard by nil savo tho
rather. Tho son then led Ids father to a
scat and all savo tbo watchful sheriff with-
drew and left them to their sorrows.

Fourth lley
EiirontA Kaw. October 23. The Walk-
up trial opened yesterday wltb John
Thacber member of the City Council at
the first witness. He testified to meeting
Mr. Walkup on tho Saturday and Monday
previous to his death and that he teemed
to be In good health. He presided at tin
Council Monday evening.
Dr. Jacobs thrn look the witness ehaii
aud gave a dcbMlod description of his treat-
ment of Mr. Walkup during the latter!
Illness. His testimony sgrted Almost ex-
actly with that which he gave at the coro-
ner's Inquest He attributed tho complaint
toacuto Indigestion acxravated by eating
strychnine In vinegar and dtlnklng pop on
Thursday until after ho had been Informed
by Mr. 1)111 Friday going to show thai
Mrs. Walkup had been buying arsenic lis
thus concluded that arsenical poisoning was
the cause of the sickness and this Impres-
sion was confirmed by tho Increasing se-
verity of tha previous symptoms. He did
not treat specifically for arsenical poison-
Int.. Ha administered an antidote. lis
described the post-mortem examination as
showing arsenical poisoning and said. In
his Judgment such poisoning was tin
cause of deatlu Ills testimony was very
carefully given and was not concluded at
noon when the court adjourned. His des-
cription of arsrti cal poison explained thai
matter clearly and his testimony was
listened to with profound Interest.
The afternoon session opened with a con-
tinuation by Mr. Scott of the cross-exam-Inat'on
of Dr. Jacobs. Tho doctor gavo a
detailed explanation of his reasons for con-
sidering until Kilday that Walkup's condt-
t'on was an acute attack of Indigestion.
The Impossibility of always making a cor
rect diagnosis was explained. In explana-
tion nt hi reason for ttrnklng Mr. Walkni
was poisoned after Mr. Hill had spoken It
hi in. the doctor said : "It may not be possi-
ble for a physician to diagnosticate thi
condition of a patient by tho symptoms ol
the patient at any enr time but by the de-
velopment of those symptoms and tbo cir-
cumstances under which they exist"
Tho doctor went on to give an llluslrallor
by relating several cases to substantiate Hill
statement. Ills testimony was lengthy and
gave In detail his treatment of tho caso and
full explanation of arsenical poison.
Nothing In Walkup's case bo slid wai
lacking to confirm the theory of arsenical
rqtsnn and It would be absolutely Impossi-
ble. Tor any doctor under tho circumstances
to make a diagnosis of tbo case. Upon
crossexamlnatli'ii Dr. Jacobs testified thai
a good many other substances than arsenic
or Its continuous uso would "oditco fatty
degeneration of tha liver. Tlio greater part
of tlio day was taken up with bis examina
tion.
Dr. Gardner chemist testified as to the
condition of Walkup's stomach and vital
organs. Their condition Indicated arsenical
poison. Pending the examination of this
witness the Court adjourned.

ner resumed his testimony yesterday morn-
ing and was cross-examined by Mr. Scott lu
regard to the actions of syphilitic affections
upon the system as compared with the k
pearances exhibited by the stomach llvei
and other viscera of Mr. Walkup. The
witness testified that syphilitic affections
could not. In his opinion have produced
tho appearances. Ho examination In re-
gard to syphilitic causes or results was
made by any one except himself. He did
not discover evidences of syphilis. II
conceded that medical praclloi called In
cases of arsenical poisoning for tho adminis-
tration of antidotes and taat had he been
attending Mr. Walkup ho wonld bavo ad-
ministered an anlldoto on Friday bad he
concluded arsenical polsonlug was the
trouble
The next witness was Dr. Harrison who
testified to takinc the viscera delivered to
blm by Coroner Frost to Kansas City and
thero delivering the package In good ordei
to I'rof. Jones of the Kansas City Med
teal College for analysis. Prof. Jones

tailed scientific description of the process
by which be analyzed Uus remains delivered
to him by Dr. Harrison. He then related
that as the result of his analysts be found

stomach. 2:2-1000 grains; In the stomach
Itself 27-1000 grains; In the four ounces ol
blood 12-1000 grains; In the liver 07-1000
grains; a total or '.':v-iogg grains.
I'rof. Jones finished his testimony by ex
hlblilng to the Jury crysUtlzrd arsenic

tlon was lengthy.

Dr Gardner and gave to Dr. Harrison thi
package represented to contain the viscera
of .1. K. Walkup to be taken to Kana
City for analyzatlon. The r.zz. part of thi
afternoon was occupied by tha trading of
