M'INTYRE VERDICT.
Receives the Approval of the secre-
tary of the Navy.

New York, Oct 2O-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: Sec
rotary Long has approved the findings
of the court which tried and sentenced
Chaplain ]. P. Mcintyre to dismissal
from the naval service for criticising the
conduct Of Rear Admiral Sampson and
Captain R. D. Evans.
Secretary Long denies the report that
Rear Admiral Dewey will come to the
United States on leave of absence. 1t
is expected that Rear Admiral Schley
will return from Porto Rico on a mer-
chant steamer as the Newark is want
ed at ST. Thomas to make an inVestiga-
ton of the question existing there. Ad-
miral Schley'S name has been connected
with the succession to Rear Admiral
Bunce as commander of the Brooklyn
navy yard, but it is not at all certain
that he will have this assignment. Rear
Admiral Howell is his senior and as the
department generally considers seniOri-
ty in making selections for important
positions it is regarded as likely that
Rear Admiral Schley will be ordered to
duty as president of the examining and
retiring board, while Rear Admiral
Howell will go to the New York or some
other important navy yard.
Eighty-fOur per cent of the enlisted
force of the navy are now Americans
by birth or naturalization. Five years
ago little more than half of the en-
listed force were Americans either by
birth or naturalization.

VERDICT FOR $4,000
Secured by Manager Lift of 'In Old
Kentucky

New York, Oct. 2O-Jacob Lift, the
theatrical manager, has obtained a YER
diet for $4,000 against the Wabash rail-
road in the second judicial court in Long
Island City. The suit was brought to
recover the value of scenery, properties,
baggage and horses used by Mr.. Lift
in his production of Tn Old Kentucky
destroyed by the burning of a baggage
car of a special train of the Wabash
line near Kansas City In January, 1898.
When the claim was presented to the
officers of the railroad in st. Louis pay
ment was refused on the ground that
the road was not responsible as a COM
mon carrier because the train was
specially chartered and the company
had no control over it.
Judge Garretson directed the jury to
bring in a verdict for Mr.. Lift. The
judge held that railroad company was
liable under the circumstances as a
common carrier.
The case has been closely watched by
theatrical managers because it is said
to be the first instance wherein a rail-
road company has contested a claim
for damages resulting from the destruc-
tion of baggage and scenery in transit.
Theatrical men contended that the posi-
ton of the railroad Company was IN
tenable.

SMALL AND SCARCE.
German Apple Crop IS Almost Total
Failure.

Washington, Oct. 2O-Germany is
about to have an apple crop smaller in
quantity and poorer in quality than has
been gathered in recent years. accord
ing to United States Consul General
Frank Mason at Frankfort. Cider APP
pies this year command three times the
usual price, he says, and no cider will
be made outside of WuTtemburg. Even
cooking apples of an inferior grade are
now selling at Frankfort at and 9
cents per pound. This deficiency is
said to extend more or less generally
to France the Bohemia and northern
Italy so the conditions favor large
importation of American apples though
whether this will be pra cticable or not
will depend upon first, the supply in the
United States and second the spirit in
which the German officials enforce the
inspection law.
Mr.. Mason believes in view of the IN
certainty of the trade that the future
development will be more in the direc-
ton of dried and preserved fruits than
fresh fruits imported from the United
States
