Fonuer Sergeant Isrue!l Harris having concluded bis testimony, was peruiitted to return to his home In Boston and was succeeded by Jacob D. Fraser, former first sergeant of Company UD, Twenty Afth lufantry. Senator Formker conducted the examl- nation. Fraser testified that he was narried and with other married soldiers per: mitted to live oatside the post quarters and was at home with his family on the night of Aug 13. when the fir ing In Brownsville occurred, and was awakened by two shots. On his way to the quarters he beard the general fusillade, which appeared to le near B and D companies’ quarters, le de scribed the call to arms and the roll call which was ordered by Captaln Lyons, and he sakl he found every man present or accounted for. Fraser sald he had beard of previous trouble with colored soldiers In Texas, but knew of pothing “fSerce” about trouble, He stated It as his belief that the citizens of Brownsvilie had themselves “shot up” the town to drive the sol diers away Me Overman asked, “Do you think citizens would kill one of thelr own number—commit murder—to get you away?” Fraser replied: “I don't know wheth- er any one was killed. They wanted us away. Colored men would spend very little money In the saloons on account of their treatment, and the citizens of Brownsville wanted white soldiers, who would spend their money.” Fraser sald that ou his way to the barracks during the fusilinde tn the streets he heard some one say, “Cease firing.” He believed, he said, that the post had been attacked by tha citizens and that the companies had already been culled out and were protecting the post. Fraver was of opinion that the in- spection was made about 7:10 a. m. Benator Overman questioned the wit Dass regarding the whereabouts of men who were not at roll call and were un- accounted for, but Fraser could give no direct testimony on that point. He stated that bis zeal in trying to find out “secretly” who did the shooting was due to his desire to protect his own army record, and be presented a letter from Captain Lyons of Company D certifying as to his excellent char acter and recommending that he be permitted to re-eniist. Jerry E. Reeves, former sergeant of Company D, sald that on the night of the trouble he wis awakened by shots which appeared to be in the direction of the guarters of Companies B and C.

And Reeves replied, “No.” Fraser Is a physical glant, and he created much amusement in relating au account of his capture In the Philip. plues of a noted bandit who had ter- rorized the constabulary, Indeed. he sald tbat the bandit had previously run the chief of the constabulary out of his own quarters and Installed him. self there. 3 Jap Miners on Strike Use Dynamite.

'.—The farvwell ban quet given Jast night Ly the London Pligrims In honor of James Bryce, the new ambassador of Great Britain to the United Blates, was a uolsble An- glo-American event, the most prom! nent members of the government and representatives of all branches of Eng lish official, soclal aid Hterary life par ticipating. The bauquet was held at the Savoy hotel under the presidency of «Field Marshal Lord Roberts. Iu the hall flags snd national emblems and the colors of Great Britain and the Unit ed States were Wntertwined. Mr. Bryce occupied the past of honor at the right of the president. Ambassador White law Reid =at at Lord Roberts’ left Sir Mortimer Durand, the recent Brit Ish ambassador at Washington; the Japanese ambassador and many others made up an assemblage of exceptional brilliancy. The Japanese ambassador, replying to the toast “The Guests” made a significant reference to Japa- nese-American relations. “I am glad,” the ambassador sald, “to be present at this demonstration to the new ambas sador to the United States, with which country both Japan and Great Britain have maintained the most cordial re- lations.” Ambassador Reld proposed the health of Mr. Bryce, who, In responding, rap idly reviewed the relations of Great Britain and the United States for the past century and refered to the steady growth of better feeling between the two countries since the time of hia first visit to America In 1870. “The people of the United States have grown they did a century ago, to be self as- sertive,” sald Mr, Bryce. “Having become the largest and the most wealthy amoung civilized com- munities, they are respected every where and know it. During the last forty or fifty years Great Britain and the United States have come to know and understand each other better and to read one another's writings. With these guarautees there Is a better chance that their (ricndship will be durable, Neither hax any cause to quarrel with the other. Each country has as much territory as she can pos- sibly require, and each country is proud of the other, “We In Eogland are proud of having such a child as America, and the Americans are proud that the earlier achievements of Great Britain, ip which they shared, have been sustained since the separation. This is the senti- ment of pride and brotherhood that the English envoy 1s required to represent in the United States. Never has the spirit of peace been more conspicuous. Iy the ruling spirit of both peoples. If a tunnel under the Atlantic ocean was suggested no objection to it would be raised in this country.” Sir Mortimer Durand, toasting the visitors, said that President Roosevelt's Inst words to him on leaving Amerlea were of congratulation upon the rela- tions of the two countries—in the pres. ident’'s own words, “Nothing could be more satisfactory” Banusik Resigned to His Doom.
