why Dewey Discontinued the Battle.

why Dewey Discontinued the Battle.
I do not exaggerate in the least
when I say that, as we hauled off into
the bay, the gloom on the bridge of the
Olympia was thicker than a London
fog in November. Neither Commo-
dore Dewey nor any of the staff be-
Iieved that the Spanish ships had been
sufficiently injured by our fire to pre-
vent them from renewing the battle
quite as furiously as they had pre-
yiously fought. Indeed, we had all
been distinctly disappointed in the re-
suits of our fire. Our proiectiles
seemed to go too high or too low
inst as had been the case with those
fred at us by the Spaniards. Several
times the commodore had expressed
dissatisfaction with the failure of our
gunners to hit the enemy. We had
begun the firing at too great dis
tance, but we had gradually worked in
further on each of the turns, until we
were within about $500 yards at the
close of the fifth round. At that dis
tance, in a smooth sea, we ought to
have made large percentage of hits;
yet, so far as we could judge, we had
not sensibly crippled the foe. Conse-
uuently Commodore Dewey hauled
out into the open bay at the end of
the fifth round to take stock of am
munition and devise a new plan of at
tack. j Joseph L. Stickney, in Harper's
Magazine.

A Large Crowd of Spectators
Were Disappointed.
THE HEARINGS CONTINUED
Big Mining Case Goes Over Until Mon

Case Fills Several Vol

special Master in Chancery r. l.
Clinton was in his chair at the east
end of the long table in the federal
court room yesterday morning. He had
his note book and in front of him was
the transcribed testimony of the wit
nesses who the day before had told
what they knew about the workings
in the ground involved in the case of
the Anaconda Copper company vs. the
Colusa-Parrot Mining & Smelling com
pany.
The master was, as stated, on hand
bright and early, and so were several
spectators. The hearing was to have
been resumed at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning. Word was sent to the court
room that some of the attorneys in
the case had gone up to the mine and
would not be ready to resume the hear
ing before 10 o'clock Monday morning,
The master and the spectators filed out
of the room. Judge Clinton went to
his office and the spectators scattered
over the city, some going out to
Crystal Springs and others to the gar
dens, while others secured copies of
the Standard and read the news.
In another room used by the federal
court officers, awaited several spec
tators who have for many weeks past
been interested in the Larkin hearing.
These were also disappointed, for in
stead of resuming in pursuance to ad-
journment the evening before, the hear
ing was adjourned till Monday morn
ing. Judge Blake, the master in this
case, went over to Helena and will
spend Sunday with his family.

BLANCHE MUCH WORRIED
She Asks Clergymen Puzzling
Questions.
FUTURE LIFE AT STAKE
"Can an Actress Be Christianp'-A Co.
nundrum by Miss Bates and
Its Effect on the
Profession.
FUTURE LIFE AT STAKE

The Butte friends of Blanche Bates
the actress. will be interested in read
ing about new sensation she has ere
ated in New York. For advertising pur.
poses or in sincere concern about tn,
part she will play in the future life she
has raised the profound question: Can
an actress be a Christian"
A few days ago she sent a copy of the
following letter to a number of New
York clergymen:
Dear Sir-Your established reputa-
ton for readiness to render advice to
those who seek it in sincerity and truth
is my excuse for troubling you in the
matter upon which 1 am now writing
you.
Il am a member of the theatrical pro-
fession. My efforts as such have been
rewarded with a certain degree of sue
cess. My work on the stage is con-
genial, both mentally and physically.
Nevertheless there are times when
ask myself whether an actress can
honor the obligations of a Christian
life? Are the stage and the church SO
Inherently antagonistic that one has to
choose between them? Is it impossible
TO reconcile the differences of both. or.
in other words. can an actress be a con-
sistent Christian?
Il have so far failed to solve the
problem to the satisfaction of my con-
science; hence ! take the liberty Of ap-
pealing to you for suggestion and direc-
uion. In belief that you will very kind
ly grant my request for advisement,
and asking for an early reply, | am,
very respectfully yours.
"RTANCHF RATES"
Commenting upon Miss Bates re-
markable letter the New York Tele-
graph has the following:
For over As hours there has been
deep, impenetrable gloom o'erspread-
ing the Parker, the Ven lone, the st.
Cloud, the Gerard and the other quiet
little nests which shelter the dainty
brdlings of the American stage, and all
because of Miss Blanche Bates circular
letter to the clergymen of New York.
My work on the stage IS congenial,
both mentally and physically. Never
theless. there are times when | ask my
self whether an actress can honor the
obligations of a Christian life" Are the
stage and the church SO inherently an
tagonistic that one has tc choose be-
tween them? Is it impossible 70 recon-
cile the differences of DO il, pr, i'll otner
words, can an actress be a cons'slt MT
