number of cruisers they could have engaged the Chinese at when the latter were hampered by the transports their fleet was oonvoylng. Similarly, the Chlreee with a sufficient number of cruisers could have fought the Japanese at sea Instead of Inshore, where their maneuvering was Impeded. The cruisers also could have warned Admiral Ting of the approach of the Japanese fleet early enough for him to prevent the latter from reaching his transports. Contli ulng. Lord Beresford said that the accounts of the battle so far received bear out the opinion of the naval experts who held that the power of cffer.M of modern fleets la Infinitely superior to their defensive powers, snd that many ships must, almost certainly, be lost or crippled when fleets are equally matched.

"Thus," he said. In corcHsion, "In future naval wars the Issue must depend largely upon the class and strergth of the reverse vessels of either side" BtII ef HaggU( the Shore. NEW TOHK. September Associated Press reporter handed to Rear Admiral Gherardl a dispatch from London last night relative to the recent decisive naval engagement between China and Jafsii. The rear admiral said that he had watched events In China and Japan very cloeely.

He did not care which "whipped." "It was." be added, "a case of the Kilkenny cats." Hugging the shore he pointed out as being directly opposed to Capt. Mahan's fundamental principle, and In this connection the rear admiral remarked: "I subscribe to that, but. of course. In this particular case, and speaking at such a distance. It would not be prudent for me to offer an opinion.

I do not know the coast." From all he had read of the facts, however, and being a thorough believer In Capt. Mahan's sound judgment and great naval skill, he was with the captain of the opinion that the evil of land hugging had caused the Inevitable results, which in this case had proved most disastrous. A great mistake, he thought, had been made In having In Chen Tuen the barbette instead of the guns in echelon, which would have saved a gun ship from being reduced to the level of a small cruiser. Admiral Gherardl agrees with others that small cruisers are more effectual than big tattle ships, and as illustrating thU had noted how much better the smaller ships had fared than their larger colleagues. In conclusion, the rear admiral again remarked: "Yes; it is quite true praises of one of lur navy commanders have been again loudly rung In London, but not for the first time cr undeservedly, either." and foaprrkrailvr.

Special Dispatch to The Erenliif Star.

BALTIMORE. Md? September announcement that Mr. John K. Cowen, general counsel for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, will accept the democratic nomination for Congress In the fourth district, now represented by Mr. Isldor Rayner, the political sensation of the hour here.

For more than twelve years Mr. Cowen has been the most uncompromising enemy of Senator Gorman end the state and city machines In Maryland. The newspapers during that period have contained dozens of columns of his speeches, delivered during campaigns. In which he denounced la most scathing and vigorous terms the acts of the politicians, especially denounced Senator Gorman, Mr. Rosin, Mr.

Quinn and other prominent politicians, and aocus3d them of all sorts of crimes agaln9t good government. Time and again he has traversed the state as an Independent ally of the republicans, lighting the state democ? acy, and for years he was head, front and brains of every independent movement In Baltimore. All this is now to be forgiven If not forgotten, and today some of the very men whom Mr. Cowen has denounced as repeaters and ballot-box stutters, are hurrahing for him because the word has gone out from Mr. Rasln to "shout for Cowen," and they are doing It with a vim never before surpassed.

All other candidates have bevn ordered out of the race without ceremony. Mr. Cowen is a pronounced free traderhe Is not a tariff reformer In any sense of the word, unless to adopt out-and-out free trade Is tariff reform. He does not believe In tariffs In the American acceptation of the term, but would abolish them. If he Is elected he will add another to the Interesting people in Washington, and will probably take nearly the same position on the democratic side that Mr.

Reed occupies amoni; the Mr. Cowen resembles the famous republican ex-Speaker in many ways. Mr. Cowen Is the most vigorous and ulcturesque speaker the state has had for many years. He is not only vigorous and picturesque, but he Is Interesting and logical.

He uses short and emuho.ilc yords. He has at various times paid his respects to every politician In Maryland, from Senator Gorman down to the humblest repeater and ward rounder, and he has not minced his words nor been sparing of his epithets. While Mr. Cowen has made an alliance with the city politicians, his closest friends say he Is still uncompromising In his hostility to Senator Gorman. Indeed, not a few well-informed people assert that his going to Congress is to be the stepping stone to Mr.

Gorman's seat In the Senate, and that the alliance now formed boTles no good to the senior Senator, but. on the contrary, Indicates that the final break has taken place between him and the city leaders. Another matter now discussed in this connection Is that Mr. Cowen and President Cleveland are very close personal friends. It Is known that when the railway attorney calls at the White House, no mat-' ter who Is waiting, Mr.

Cowen gets In first and remains as long as he likes. The President Is said to be the real cause of the new deal, and to have urged Mr. Cowen to take the nomination, and also to have urged the city "boss," Mr. to ivmlnate him. Col.

(Signed) CARRIE M. GLASSCOCK. (Excuse)." A Detective's Story. J. M.

Elder, a ifcteetlve, tells how he shadowed the Glasscocks after the foregoing letter was received. He saw Mrs. Glasscock come to the Senator's office on the appointed Monday morning. Her husband her, but remained outside the building for the evident purpose of coming on the scene after Mrs. Glasscock was Inside the Senator's office.

She did not get In, however. Then the Glasscocks went to the Capitol, Mrs. Glasscock going to the Senate reception room, the Senate gallery, and elsewhere, while her husband hid behind pillars and watched proceedings. Mrs. Glasscock sent her card to the Senator, on the floor of the Senate chamber, but he did not respond.

On one occasion she aent a letter by one of her children. The letter is given In full. It tella of her troubles and upbraids the Senator for alleged perfdy. It says among other things: "I will annoy your every step and speak to you In any place If you do not see me and help mp or send me help. Tou don't dare to say anything to me or I will denounce you as a sedjicer of women and that It has been going on over a year with me.

"I have done nothing to Injure you, yet you, a rich man, will bring a woman and Ave little children to destitution. I swear I will go right face to face on the street. In the Capitol, before any and every one, telling them how you have treated me, if you do not relieve will be the best way out of the trouble we both are In, for I will leave town." Detective Elder says that after this letter as delivered Mr. and Mrs. Glasscock came to the Capitol together, the former seeking to see the Senator and the latter watching.

This mutual action of husband and wife was he had begun the divorce suit against her. Other AHilsvlta. Charles J. Rappter, secretary of Senator Stewart, verifies the detective's statements as to the Olasscocks being together at the Capitol. He also tells of her frequent visits to the Senator's office and rooms, during which she pleaded for charity, and the Senator treated her with nothing hut the usual consideration.

The secretary says he had a key to the room and went In and out at pleasure. John A. Clarke, attendant at the Senator's rooms, makes a similar affidavit as to Mrs. Glasscock's many calls for charity at the Portland flats and elsewhere and the propriety of all actions when the attendant was about. A Pathetic Apprnl.

Another letter of Mrs. Glasscock's Is given as follows: UNITED STATES SENATE. WASHINGTON, D. August 2, My Dear Senator: Remorse and miser)' and being deserted by my husband drives me almost to distraction. Persecuted by your detectives, who are hounding me down, my rent, unpaid, and by Saturday I shall be thrown Into the street with my starving children.

You know too well how I have sinned and how I have fallen. Can you now. In my hour of trouble and distress, desert me? I have done all I could to keep our situation from the public gaze. but events are now crowding themselves to a pitch that I shall no longer be able to shield you. If I car get out of Washington I shall hide myself p.way from newspaper reporters, who will me when my distress becomes public notoriety.

You are speeding more to hurt me, who has and is still thlelding you. Get me out of the way of my husband's and I shall defend you against all odds. It is no use to allow this scandal to Ret Into the papers. What Is the to rake up this scandal? Give me means to get away with my five children, and your enemies will be foiled. I must have relief at once.

Matters art getting serious and very compromising for ycu. Is It possible you can treat me so badly? 1 who have never by word or deed Injured you? Do this that I ask and no more of me will you ever hear. Sincerely. CAKRIE Arthur llarnea swears to conversations with Mrs. Glasscock.

In which she tells that she has shown the divorce papers to several, including a Dr. Michel, said to be an enemy of the Senator, who is alleged to have said he would have the papers published all over the Pacific slope to ruin the Senator. The affidavits of a number of neighbors of the Glasscocks' tell in detail of their living together after the divorce proceedings were begun and until August 5 last. SIOISB IX THE MGHT. Illrda and Beasts Cis Make All They Please, According to Jadge Kimball.

If polly wants a cracker he has a right to say so, and If he should care to Indulge In a little profanity he cannot be arrested. And If bird-tamer Schmidt's lop-eared rabbit makes a noise Jewel Desio has no redress. If the birds and rabbits In the pet Vnlmal emporium annoy him to the extent that he cannot sleep he will have to thicken the walls or move to a place where he will be beyond the reach of the noise. Schmidt appeared In Judge Kimball's court this morning to answer the charge brought against him by his neighbor, the jeweler. lawyer Randall Hagner was' In court as counsel for the defendant, and he had a large Century dictionary and several law books which he Intended reading to the court.

He read the dictionary definition of fowl, bi It found unnecessary to read the legal authorities. Judge Kimball had read a notice of the case in the papers, and he was ready to decide the case for the defendant. Even Prosecuting Attorney Pugh's strong argument could not make the court believe that a parrot came within the of the regulations which provide against the "ciowtng" and "cackling" of fowls. Judge Kimball was perfectly satisfied that the law was tr.tended to protect citizens against the noises of barn yard fowls. He was satisfied that the law was Intended to protect the citizens against crowing roosters In the morning and cackling hens through the day.

The judge also spoke of scratching hens and roosters, but Mr. Pugh said that scratching chickens do not disturb the peace and quiet of persons. Rut Judge Kimball thought they did. He knew from experience that chickens greatly annoy persons by scratching In their flower beds. Counsel had entered a demurrer In the case, and this was sustained.

The charge was dismissed. RETIRX OF BISHOP KEAXE. Hla Ideas as to the Futare of the Oovernment of Bishop Keane, rector of the Catholic University, has returned to this country from his visit to Rome, and will arrive in Washington this afternoon. He was Interviewed In Baltimore last night, where he was the guest of Cardinal Gibbons. The pope, said Bishop Keane.

expressed the opinion that the time was approaching when Imperial or monarchical forms of government would be no longer tolerated, but would be succeeded by democracy, of which he pointed to the United States nnd France as examples of what he considered the broadest types of government. Pope Leo did not hesitate to say that he regarded America as the bulwark of the church. Bishop Keane said that the relations between the Vatican and the quirinal had not changed in any manner whatever, the pope refusing to be afTected by the influences that have been brojght to bear upon him to withdraw his friendship from France and place It with the triple alliance. He thinks that Italy will become a republic in the future, with the pope having full and unquestioned gubernatorial authority over the city of Rome. Very Pleasant.
