ohuhIuptCy Naso
LONDON, Aug. 16.--In the Queens bench
division of the High Court OF Justice today,
Justice Wright resumed the hearing Of
the motion to commit Earl De La War;,
and Messrs. Bradshaw and Rucker
for contempt OF court In attempting to in
duce Mr.. Ernest Terah Hooley. the bank
rupt company promoter, to falsely his evi-
dence In the bankruptcy court.
Mr.. Hooley, who was sworn, explained
the discrepancy between his own state
ments that he had paid Earl De La War;
SO. 000 pounds and the Earl's statement that
he had only received Is 900 pounds, by say
Ing that he paid the latter $4,000 directly
and subsequently paid him an equal amount
through Mr.. Bradshaw, Mr.. Hooley's agent,
for division between Earl De La War; and
Lord Albemarle. Mr.. Hooley said he
had since discovered that Broadley kept
the 5000 pounds.
Regarding Earl De La Warts alleged
offer OF 10000 pounds II he Hooley) would
contradict bis former evidence, the bank
rupt said Mr.. Bradshaw at the Brunswick
Hotel. offered him the money IN the
Earfs presence, and the correction Of GER
tain statements which Earl De La War;
wished him to make was written out there,
Mr.. Hooley, deposed in the presence Of the

The Brutus, which lowed the Monterey.

nadnock, each took At tons Of coal and
maintained a speed Of seven knots for 1000
miles, while the monitors under their
own steam, could scarcely have gone 1000

the United States will hereafter have a
large fleet in Asiatic waters, and with the
necessity for keeping large amounts Of fuel
at Honolulu, Samoa and Guiana, as we'll
as in the Philippines, at least four Of the
flrst-class steamers must be maintained in
the Pacific ocean. With the sphere of
naval activity in the Atlantic, and es-
pecially in the West indies, permanently
augmented at least ten such golfers will
be required on the eastern coast of the
United States, and 1t Is therefore unlikely
that more than one or two of the smaller
vessels of this class will be sold. 1t is
evident from these considerations that
more than half the auxiliaries which have
entered the naval fleets In the last three
months are to stay and naval officers are
confident that one Of the first acts of the
next congress will provide means for a
very large program OF naval construction,
which will place the United States firmly
among the leading powers Of the world In
the prime essential Of preparedness for
war.
