and while the witnesses were being ex-
amined Youtsey could be heard call
ing his wife's name In hollow, moan
ing voice. and she could be seen sitting

umony OF Arthur Goebel. brother OF

Il put my left hand on Mr.. Youtsey's
right shoulder and said: Mr.. Youtsey.
Colonel Campbell has just returned and
told me what you have said to him,
and i have come over to have you tell
me what you have told him. to tell me
whether 1t is true. and to ask you a
few other questions.
"Mr. Youtsey said: Yes, Mr.. Goebel,
what ! have said to Colonel Campbell
Is true
"Youtsey proceeded and said: Just
as I told Colonel Campbell. had a
talk with Dick Cooms Monday morning

to so to John Powers. l went to John
Powers, and John Powers gave me the
key. l went to Governor Taylor and

Was ready to do the shooting. Gov
ernor Taylor said: "You ought not to
come to see me about this. have been
expecting this TO be done for some time,
but object to having negro do 1t. 1t
is too important piece Of work. Cooms
may be spy, and he may betrny u.s."

well. what did you do next?'
"Youtsey said: I left Governor Tay-
lor, and Tuesday morning went back
10 Governor Taylor. said to him:
The man to do the shooting Is now
here."'
Il interrupted Youtsey there. and ]
said: You have told Colonel Campbell
the kame Of that man. and that is one
reason why ! came over here to see
you. Now. II you know that much, you

THE BOERS STILL
KEEP THE FIELD

LonAon, Oct. 16.-The Durham CORE
spondent Of the Standard, wiring yes
terday. says:
nailroad communication north Of
Standerton has been suspended since
Thursday. There are persistent
rum0rs Of Boer attacks on the railway.
Considerable uneasiness has been caus-
ed ~ the postponement Of Lord Rob-
ertS departure"
The Queen will appoint Lord Roberts
to be honorary colonel Of the new regi-
ment OF Irish guards.
The mayor Of Liverpool has received
q dispatch from Lord Roberts saying
he will be unable to attend to receive
the freedom Of the city before January.
Commenting upon the activity Of the
Boers and the statement from Cane
town that Lord Roberts has postponed
his Homecoming, the Standard says:
There are certain indications point
ing to the conclusion that unexpected
difficulties have arisen which Lord
Roberts deems grave enough to de-
mand his presence for some time to
come. All the facts suggest that II is
impossible yet to denude South Africa
OF any substantial portion OF the large
army now engaged in dominating sui
len and recalcitrant people"
The editorial finally calls for the ne
B0ers, prompt and ruthless punish
ment for every insursent Boer caught
delictO."
The editorial concludes. with the
statement that ''the imperial govern
ment has the country's mandate and
need not be afraid to act vigorously"

THE COAL STRIKE
NOT YET SETTLED

Philadelphia, Oct. 16.-1t Is expected
that the officials of the Reading CON-
pany will to-day take up for consider
alton the proposition Of the Mine Work
efs' convention. 1t is known that some
Of the directors of the company are
opposed to the abolition Of the sliding
scale. which has for years been in oper-
One Of the directors OF the Reading
said to-day that he Ii opposed to new
wage scale. and intimated that he
would make an effort to defeat such q
proposition. He asserted that the slid
ing scale had for years proven satisfac-
tory. both to the company and en-
ployes, ms was evidenced by the fact
that until the convention at Scranton
demanded a change no protest had
come from the company miners.
Shamokin, Pa, Oct. l6.-Not n COL
liery resumea operation In this portion
Of, IT,, coal region ysterday. While
miners generally think the terms Of the
convention will be accepted by oper-
at0rs and coal companies. operators
hereabouts insist that 30 far a. they
are concerned they will not. unless
forced by the coal carrying companies,
sign an agreement to pay q ten per
cent advance. George Hastlein, Sec
retary Of district No. 0, made this
statement:
The terms. believe. will be ac-
cepted by operators giving their ap-
proval through newspapers and notices
posted about the collieries. Miners will
not go to work until President Mitchell
declares the strike or officially, I
think the colliefes will be working be-
fore next Saturday. The companies
will take mp the grievances with their
own employees and redress them while
work u going on"

peared In the newspapers on the day
that the magazine containing the arti-
Gle was issued.
The department Investigated the
matter and found that Captain Chad
wick was TO blame, He escaped with
reprlmand, and the fact that he was
In fault and had been punished was
never made public. The fact that
Chadwick committed the same offense
has evidently decided the department
to try the efficiency of giving his act
and punishment the widest publicity,
The correspondence which Chadwick
turned over included all the official
correspondence on the subject OF the
Sampson-Schley controversy, and Il
was afterward printed by the senate
as part of an official document The
papers We're sent to the senate Feb
ruary 6, lSS& in response to resolu-
ton calling for Information regarding
the promotions OF Sampson and Schley,
They We're intended to Justify the de-
partment's action in recommending the
advancement by eight numbers OF
Sampson and by six numbers OF Schley,
and they included the now famous
letter Of Sampson to Long, dated July
10. 1898, in which he used the express
sion. 'reprehensible con1uct," in re-
gard to Schley.
As Chadwick was chief OF stan, the
correspondence was in his hands. and
his indiscretion in giving out papers OF
such Importance for publication was
regarded by the department as very
great. The correspondence given by
him. however, included not only the
documents relating to the Sampson
Schley controversy. but all the eorre-
spondence relating to the operations
OF the fleet before Santiago and the
recommendation for promotion made
after the battle.

the Military Order Of the Loyal Legion
of the United States. at Delmonico's
said that his mind had not undergone
any radical change concerning the
Philippines since his return to the
United States. He thus illustrated his
views:
IF my son should come to me and
say he proposed to marry a creole wo-
man with seven children, | would call
him great big ass. But If he came
to me and said he had already con-
tracted such marriage would still
try to maintain intimate relations with
him.
NO, gentlemen, what we have done
has established just such relation as
that. and 1t would be a source Of ma
tional modification If we gave up our
responsibilities because we find them
difficult"

cHADwIcKs OTHER" oFFENsE.
Gave Out Information Relating to the
Sampson-Schley Controversy to
a Magazine Writer.

NEW YORK, May IA special to
the Times from Washington says:
The previous indiscretion of Captain
Chadwick, to which Secretary Long
refers in his letter to that officer, was
committed long time ago. although
1t did not come to the notice of the
department for some months after it
was committed. 1t was not a criticism
of a superior officer, and in referring
10 1t as "a similar misconduct" Secre-
tary Long did not mean to indicate
any resemblance between it and the
insult TO Admiral Schley.
The department considers the case
similar to the first one as in that as in
the present case Captain Chadwick re-
posed in newspaper man confidence
OF which the newspaper man proved
himself unworthy. After leaving San
tiago Captain Chadwick allowed a
number Of important dispatches to be
seen by this newspaper man. In fact
ne left them IN the mans possession for
some time. The newspaper man cop
led the dispatches. He did not publish
them in any newspaper, but prepared
them for use in a magazine article
which he intended to write. He did
write the article; it was accepted by
the magazine, and it was only on the
eve Of publication that the navy de-
partment learned of the fact
l. was impossible to prevent the pub
lication, but the department destroyed
the value Of the publication to the
magazine and the author by immedi-
ately giving out to the newspapers
copies of the dispatches. They ap-

A TROOPERS PUNISHMENT.
Severe Example Made BY the British
In South Africa TO Deter Lootings.

NEW YORK, May "A special TO
the World from Ottawa, says:
Colonel Mcclellan has presented In
the Canadian house OF commons a Pc
tition from his constituency asking the
government to inquire into the report
that a soldier Of the First Canadian
contingent had been punished FOR loot
ing.
II appears that after a long arduous
march, and having fought In the bat
tie OF Paardeburg. the Canadians were
exhausted and half starving. having
subsis,ed on quarter ratlons for three
weeks. The Canadian In question, a
private. driven frantic by hunger,
Communicated Boer farmers chick
en- which he shared with his tent COM
panions.
He was subsequently court-martialed
for lootlng. and war correspondent
reports that the British officers SEN
fenced him to 56 days confinement as
punishment. This was carried out by
being bound with outstretched arms
and legs on the wheel OF field gun
carriage in the face u the blazing sun
for two hours each day. The agony Is
said to have been intense. The minis
ter OF militia could not confirm or deny
the correspondents dispatch.
II was shown that such a barbarous
