SCHLEY'S FLAGSHIP.
The Brooklyn in the Fight in SAM
tiaEO Bay Cervera's
Reception.

Capt. Cook, of the Brooklyn, tells the
story of Admiral Schley's flagship in
the fight at Santiago. We quote his
account of the return to her station
after the destruction of the Spanish
feet:
1--WE now steamed for Santiago. Just
as we were abeam of the burning wreck
of the NiZcaya, and at about three
quarters of a mile from her. the for
ward magazine of the wreck blew up,
throwing a column of fire and debris
high in the air, frow which fiery SER
penis of variegated colors flew i'll all di-
rections. 1t was beautiful display,
and as between the Brooklyn and the
Nizcaya, closed the incident 1t was
Il terrible explosion, but it did not lift
her keel, or blow her plates inboard.
These two ships had first met at the
queens jubilee, Spithead, England,
where they had been sent to represent
their respective flags.
I'VE arrived off Santiago at mid
night, and steamed close to the In
diana. 1t was clear, starlight night,
with a calm, smooth sea. The crew
of the Indiana We're all up, crowding
the turrets and superstructure, eager
TO get the news. We were,hailed, and
asked what had become ofFthe Colon.
Upon answer that the Colon WIS
beached about 80 miles up the coast,
and had surrendered, the cheering was
loud and prolonged. We then steamed
down to the Iowa and found her crew
also on deck awaiting news. We were
hailed and the same inquiry was made,
When we told them OF the fate OF The
Colon, there was some clapping of
hands and stir of voices. but no cheer
ing, and we were Immediately informed
that Admiral CerVera was on board,
and many Spanish wounded. Our men
were standing ready for a cheer, but
upon hearing this news there was re-
spectful silence, not because they had
learned there were suffering wounded
en- board the Iowa. but because every
man knew the nobility displayed 10y
Admiral Cervera in the treatment of
IIohson and his men, and they thus
recognized it. Commodore Schley went

Foot-Ense Trade-Mark Sustained.

Justice Laughlin, in Supreme Court, Buff
falo, has ordered a permanent injunction,
with costs, and a full accounting of sales,
to issue against Paul B. Hudson, manufac-
turer of 'Dr. Clark's Foot Powder" and
also against a retail dealer of Brooklyn, re-
straining them from making or selling DR..
Clark's Foot Powder, which is declared, in
the decision of the Court, an imitation and
infringement of ''Foot-Ease," the powder
for tired, aching feet to shake in your shoes,
now so largely advertised and sold all over
the country. Allen S. Olmsted, of LIE Roy,
N. Y, is the owner of the trademark Foot
Ease" and he is the first individual who
ever advertised a foot powder extensively.
He will send sample Free to any one who
writes him for it. The decision in this case
upholds his trademark and renders all par
ties liable who fraudulently attempt to
profit by the extensive "Foot-Ease" adver-
Using, in placing upon the market spurious
and similar appearing preparation, labeled
and put up in envelopes and boxes like
Foot-Ease. Similar suits will be brought
against others who are now infringing on
the Foot-Ease trademark and common
law rights.

THE ANTITRUST LAW DECISION.

The decision of the circuit court Judge
at Little Rock, Ark, holding that the
clause In the antitrust law which pro-
hibits any one to transact business in Ar
kansas who is member OF any pool, rat
ing bureau or trust in any other State,
is unconstitutional. will. Of course. not
settle the question until the supreme court
OF Arkansas has passed upon it. but 1t
looks like good sound law.
1t is, too. directly in the line of the
amendment which is proposed for the
Texas bill relating to trusts.
The construction given to the law ny tho
attorney general went so far as to deny
to member of rating bureau anywhere
in the world the right to operate in Ar
kansas. although as to that State no argu-
ment as to rates had been made, either
In or out of the State. This was in the
nature of punishment for offenses com
mitted beyond the State and the circuit
judge very properly holds that Arkansas
can not punish man, by denial of his
OWL rights, for violation of law in Soutt
Carolina--much less for pursuing business
elsewhere In a manner permitted. possibly
by the other State.
The Post has questioned this feature o
the proposed Texas statute not because o
any threats made by the insurance people
but largely for the very objections state
by Judge Martin in his construction Of tn
law. 1t is needless TO go to extremes whei
nothing can be accomplished thereby.

plicitly stated. II the extreme is nocessar

fault. The great and the only questio

sition that he can not refrain from giving
his endorsement to 1t In an interview.
Mr.. Smith was particularly referring to
the question OF expansion when he spoke

significance Of his remarks, but the ad-
