RENEWED PREPARATIONS
 FOX ACTIVE WARFARE

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 14.-Twenty thousand six-pound shells will be shipped to the Mare Island yard Mon day. Three freight cars will be re- quired to convey the ammunition across the continent. Orders have been received at the yard to work night and day on the gunboat Princeton, in or der that she may, as soon as possible, join the squadron which is to assemble in Hampton Roads, of which the cruiser New York is the flagship.
 The order also stated that work must be pushed on the monitors Puritan and Terror, so that they will be available for service on short notice.
 The activity indicated by the ship ment of ammunition from the Atlantic to the Pacific and the ordering of night work, for the first time since the auxil- iary fleet was being equipped for ser vice at the beginning of hostilities, is significant. say naval men. The am- intuition shipment to Mare Island is, in all probability, going to Manila, for the American squadron has shot away much of it's rapid fire ammunition.

'HOOLEYS DECKER FOR 4 BARONE TCY Claims to Have Put Up

 RAGE.
SCENE IN THE COURTROOM
Declares the Charge Is an Abom- inable Lie-Promoter Threatens to Throw Him Out of
 the Box.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The examination in bankruptcy proceedings of Ernest Terah Hooley, the company promoter. was resumed to-Lay.
 Sir William Marriott took the stand and declared that MT. Hooley's state ment that he had paid the witness e1000 for introducing him (Hooley) to the Carlton Club was a pure inven- tion and an abominable lie" Sir Will liam added that he knew nothing at the time about Mir Hooley's alleged dona- tfon of G10000 to the Conservative party funds throuch the Marquis of Aber 4venny, though MT. Hooley told him afterward tcat he had given the Marquis G10, 900 for the "fighting fund of the party, which Sir William Marri- ott explained had nothing to do with the Carlton Club. The witness also said he had helped MT Hooley in po- litical and financial matters, but had always declined remuneration for his services.
 Later Sir William said MT. Hooley told him in December. 1896, that he was going to raise an enormous loan for Cuba and said he (the witness) had been appointed counsel to the compa- ny's commission which was to visit Cuba, and that his fee was to be &10,- 900, in view of which MT. Hooley paid him G1000 on account
 On cross-examination Sir William ad- mitted that he had received check for z ,000 from MT. Hooley, which he handed representatives of the Con- servative party. MT. Hooley believed this would secure him baronetcy at the jubilee, but he was informed he could not have 1t and the check was returned to him.
 During Sir William Marriott's ex- animation MT. Hooley made scene and threatened to pitch the witness out of the box.
 While Sir George Lewis, c. C., was cross-examining Sir William the wit ness several times got angry and re- fused to answer questions put to him. Mir. Hooley on cross examination 1atly contradcted the evidence of Sir Will liam Marriott. He reiterated his state
 ment that he had promised and had raid to Sir William e100e for an intro auction to the Carlton Club. Sir Will l liam. Mir Hoole-- added. told him that he did "all the dirty work for the 1 Conservative party. Sir William sus- | gested the giving of G50,000 by MT Hooley for 8 baronetcy, and he was to ret R10,000 if MT. Hoole,- was made a ] baronet.
