Bis THEY CITE SOME PRECEDENTS. It is Claimed That Ho Simply Saluted tho Brazilian Flag. Washington City, Oct. SO. Secre tary Herbert gave out the following statement and telegram regarding the Stanton Mello incident: "Inasmuch as there seems to be an impression the president acted on the matter of removing Admiral Stanton without bearing from bim, it is fair to state before an order isiued Secretary Herbert sent a telegram of inquiry aud received the following reply. " 'Rio Janeiro, Out. 25. Secretary Navy. Washington City: Before an choring saluted tho flag of Brazil with 21 guus. 8alule was returned by the government fort. After anchoring we received a visit from the aide de camp of Admiral Mello, flying the Brazilian flag. Returned said visit. Saluted Brazilian Admiral afloat. Salute re turned hy same. No call received from any Brazilian officials from shore. Next day called upon Brazilian admiral. Visit returned. Mello only Brazilian admiral afloat, STANTON.' Admiral Stanton's defense in tho probable court of inquiry or court mar tial proceedings is clearly iudicated in his dipatch where he says be saluted the Brazilian flag "afloat," aud this statement coincides with the belief among a number of naval officers that it was In doing this that be brought so mucb trouble on himself. Inquiry at the navy department has brought to light some matters that are claimed to be precedents for Admiral Stanton's action, and the theory of tho officers who believe the admiral's unfortunate salute was justified by the circum stances is given in this way: A com mander of a naval vessel of a different nation must either acknowledge the flag floated by another armed vessel of a diflerent nation or else seize or at tempt to seize her as a pirate. If Ad miral Mello had no authority from any recognized government, and the insur gents have no government, to display the flag that was flying at the peak of bis flagship, then, aciiordlng to theory, he was an unauthorized armed rebel of the seas and considered and treated as a pirate. If be bad the right to float the Bra zilian flag then he should have been saluted, and It is furtbor contended in Admiral Stanton's behalf that In view of the fact that Admiral Mello holds a commission as an officer of the Brazil ian navy the American officer could not have done otherwise than to pay bim the customary courtesies. Ono of the precedents referred to is tho action of Admiral Welles or the United States navy, at Cadiz, Spain, In capturing a Spanish war vessel manned by Insur gents and floating the Bpanlsh flag, nd turnine her over to the Bpauisb government on the ground that she wa a piratical craft. The same thing ur done at Carthagena by a British squadron. Another precedent cited, If i .. iin railed such, is the action of the captain of the United States cruiser Boston in landing troops and recogniz ing tho revolutionists, the present pro visional government oi hwwi,whuui. authority from the president.

How Ho Filled tho Malls With His Insane Threats. Washington, Oot.30. Prendegosl's bullets, which took tbo life or Mayor Carter Harrison, might have found lodgement In the heart of a United States senator, or even the president of the United States. For fully two weoks before the murder of Chicago's mayor the assassin had been directing mes sages through the Uuited States mall to at least one United States senator, whloh Indicated that bis mind was In tensely wrought up against President Cleveland. Tho burden of all these oomrnunlca tions was the silver question. Senator Dubois, of Idaho, and others were re oipltonts of communication which have been received almost dally since Oot. 0. The silver senators paid no attention to these cards for tbo reason that eluoo the silver fight begaq they bad been re Oclvlng many of & similar nature from all parts of tho country. These barolnoludod threatening letters telling tbom if they did not cease their opposition to the repeal bill they would be shot down like dogs. prenuergast's reason. Prendergast, Mayor Harrison's assassin, repeated to an associated press reporter this morning his former asser tions that the reason for the deed was that tho mayor bad deceived him, be trayed bim, and bo took that means of getting even, declaring ho was Justified In so doing.

Tho verdict was In accordance with the facts, and recommended that Prender gast be bold for murder until discharged by duo process of law. Prendergast was present at the inquest, and main- babied a stolid Indifference, except when attracted by the presence of Mrs, Chalmers. Ho asked if she were Mrs. Harrison, and said be wanted to tell her bo was sorry for hor trouble. Tho Harrison resldonco was thronged with sorrowing frionds all day, and tho sldo- walks in the vicinity wero Impassable, The members of the family wero denied to all but tho moat intimate friends. All of them boro up bravely under tho terrible affliction, tho real significance of which could hardly bo realized by them. Miss Howard, tho late Mayor's fiancee, although prostrated by the shock, rested quietly during tho day. Telegrams and loiters of sympathy in great numbers were received from pub lic and private frionds of tho late mayor In various parts of tbo country. Secre tary of State Qreabam telegraphed from Washington his slnccro sympathy, The remains or Mr. Harrison lay all day in the room which was always oc cupied by him as a sleeping aparttnont.

Carter H. Har rison, a flyo-tlmes mayor of Chicago and one of the best known men in the West, lies dead at bis home. Tbreo bullets entered his body, two making wounds sufficient to cause doath. The murder was committed by Eugene Patriok Prendergast, a papor-carror, who bad declared Mayor Harrison bad promised to ruako him corporation counsel and had not kept his word.

A little before 8 o'clock the door-boll rang, and when Mary Hansen, a domestic, opened the door, she was confronted by a man about 6 feot 5 inches high, smooth sbaVen and with clean-out features, lighted up by a pair of dark eyes. "Is Mr. Harrison In? asked tho man in a quiet, ploasant voice. "Yes, sir," responded tho glr), as sho throw open tho door to admit his on trance.

Chalmers was standing upon tho front steps or his residence wltou tho shots wore fired. Ho dashed across the Btrcet and mot Prandorgast at the gate. "What is It?" said Chalmors. The man walked rapidly away without re plying, and Cba mers hastened Into the bouse and reached Harrison almost at the same tnoineut that William Preston Harrison found where bis father lay. "Are you hurt?" asked Chalmers, as be and tho son of the dying man strove to raise him, "I have cot my death, Chalmers," re sponded the mayor, "I'm shot through the heart and am a dead man." A moment later Harrison said witlt a voice rapidly losing strength: "Uubutton my vest; there's wnere the trouble Is." By this time the stricken man was borne to a couch In the adjoining room, and as be spoke Chalmers gontly opened his waistcoat. The front of the shirt was soaked In blood, whloh welled ra pldly from tho wound. "It's through tho heart," said the mayor again, his voice scarcely above a whisper. A moment later he sank Into uncon bcIoiwqsss, aud 20 minutes after reoelv. lug the wound Mr, Harrison was ueau. About ?5 MlnuU after the shooting, frnteant Fraok McDonald was stand In ia the ofMoe of the Desplslnes-streot nolle station.

"Did what!" said the officer, m be laid one hand on tho fellow's shoulder, and with tho other took the revolver, "I shot Mayor Harrison, and that ia what I Bhot him with," was tbo reply. "What made you do it?" asked Mc Donald. "He said bo would make rao corpora tion oounsel, aud ho did not, That Is what I .shut bim for." Prendergast was trembling so he could hardly stand, and the officer led him to a choir aud asked a few more questions, to whloh Prendergast would only mako tho reply he had first given us to the causa of the shooting. He said that,after leaving Harrison's house, ho had taken a street car and started toward Deuplalnes-atreet 'station with tho objeot of gl vlug himself up, adding: "Tho oar did not go very fast, or I would have been hero sooner," THREATS OK LYNCHING.
