Upton BAHQUETED.
The Owner Of the Shamrock Meets with a.
Enthusiastic Reception 10 Chicago and
IL Given . Loving Cup

Chicago, Oct. 16.-At the Chicago
Athletic club yesterday evening a
banquet was given in honor of Sir
Thomas Upton and he was also made
the recipient of massive silver low
ing cup presented by his friends in
Chicago. For an hour prior to the
commencement of the banquet Mr..
Thomas held a reception in the par
lors of the club house and exchanged
greetings with. hundreds of men
prominent in financial and profess
sional circles who called to pay their
respects to the owner Of the Sham
rock. The rooms were hung with
flags of the international signal
code, and many American and Brit
ish emblems intertwined. Over the
head Of the guest of the evening as
he stood exchanging good wishes
with the long line of men who called
to meet him was hung an enormous
yellow flag in the center of which
was a huge green shamrock. The re-
ception was over at seven O'Clock and
the banquet commenced few min
utes after that hour. The decora-
tions of the banquet hall were of
strictly nautical design entwined
with smilax, lausal and evergreens.
A model of Shamrock II. complete,
with all sails set, was placed in front
of Sir Thomas.
When the time for the making of
addresses had arrived, the president,
j. X. Armsby, made brief speech
of welcome, and then in the name of
the club presented the loving cup to
Sir Thomas. The presentation was
made the occasion of great demon
stration by the guests, they rising
to their feet and cheering Sir Thomas
again and again.
Sir Thomas replied in brief
speech of thanks for the honors that
had been shown him in Chicago and
alluded feelingly to the many kind
messages he had received from all
parts of the country since he arrived
from the yacht races.

The N'KIyLEY CASE.
The Doctors Who Attended the
President Make q Statement.
At SEA As TO CAUSE OF his DEATH


New York, Oct. 16.-The physicians
and surgeons who attended Presi-
dent Mckinley through the closing
days of his life yesterday presented
to the state medical society gathered
here in semi-annual session lengthy
report covering the medical and sur
gical history of the case of the mar
tyred president. 1t was signed by
DIR. Matthew D. Mann, Herman Myn-
ter, Eugene Wasdin, Charles G. Stock
ton, p. M. Rixey, Roswell Park and
Charles McBurney, and was read by
DR.. Mann, who discussed the features
as he proceeded. No reporter was
present, but a general summary of it
was given out by one of the physi-
clans. DR.. Mann did not mention the
operation, emitting that altogether.
He described the presidents symp-
toms and treatment from day to day,
going into the fullest details.
In speaking of the bulletins issued,
DR.. Mann said that every one Of
them was absolutely true. None had
been misleading in any manner. He
told Of the progress Of the patient
from day to day till the unfavorable
turn, a very sudden one, of the sew
enth day, and he said he mentioned
that to show that the bulletins is
sued were true and not misleading.
DR.. Mann said that there was abso-
lutely no archaeological infection.
Continuing, he said: "lf you ask me
what caused the presidents death l
could not tell you. | dbubt II that
will ever be discovered. Amongst
contributory causes, however, were
the presidents age, his lack. of exer-
else and his naturally weak heart,
which made his pulse high
DR.. Mann was asked by one OF the
listening medical men why the *
ray was not applied so the missing
bullet might be located. DIR. Mann
replied that there was nothing in the
condition of the patient TO show that
the bullet was doing any harm and he
said that II. the N-ray had been used
it would only have been to satisfy
the curiosity Of the physicians, and
the excitement attending the opera
ton would have been harmful to the
patient, so the doctors rcfrained from
using the X-ray apparatus.
DR.. Mann went on to say that at
no time whatever had there been the
slightest disagreement among the
DR.. Herman Mynter colleague OF
DR.. Mann in the presidents ease, cor
roborated all DR.. Mann said. He
spoke of the fine traits of the presi-
dent and said that his manner of
bearing his trials was 50 impressive
that there was not one OF the nurses
who would not have gladly taken his
place.

TRIED TO ROB A Trio BANK.


Trio, O., Oct. 16.-A gang of seven
robbers made an unsuccessful attempt
to blow up the Farmers and Citizens
bank here yesterday morning. -Four
charges of dynamite failed to crack
the strong box. The citizens were
aroused by the noise of the explosion
and by the ringing of church bells
and battle took place in the streets.
The robbers went to Daugherty's liv-
cry stable, where they bound the man
in charge and stole two rigs, in which
they escaped. One Of these was de-
serted near Gallon and the other at
Ontario. The latter bore marks of
blood, showing that the aim of the
citizens had been good. Bloodhounds
have been secured and are on the
trail of the bandits. Farmers all over
the county have been aroused and are
assisting in the search. A reward of
5000 has been offered for the arrest
Of the gang. James Kitchener,
citizen of this place, was slightly
wounded in the battle, receiving the
greater portion Of charge Of shot.

THE SCHLEY COURT.
SCHLEY'S BRIEF REPORT OF BATTLE.


Washington, Oct. 16.-Only one new
witness was heard in detail by the
Schley court OF inquiry yesterday
This was Lieut.. Commander James
II. Sears, who was Admiral Schley's
flag lieutenant during the Spanish
war. He gave detailed account OF
the entire Cuban campaign, includ-
ing the brief siege of Cienfuegos, the
retrograde movement of the flying
squadron in search of coal, the block
AIDE of Santiago, the reconnaissance OF
the Santiago shore batteries and the
bombardment of the Cristobal Colon,
May 81, and the battle off Santiago
July 3, when Cervera's fleet was de-
stroyed. He placed the distance out
of the blockading feet at Cienfuegos
at from one to four miles and at
Santiago at from three to six miles.
He expressed the opinion that in
the battle of July 3 it had been the
Viscaya's intention to ram the Brook
lyn. While Commander Sears was
on the stand Capt. LemIy asked his
age, but the court, after quite pro-
lopged consultation in retirement, de-
cidcd that the question was not ad-
INVISIBLE. 1t held, however, that the
time of service could be inquired into.
Mr.. Rayner sought to secure the
Introduction of brief report of the
battle of July 3, which Commodore
echley prepared for transmission to
the secretary of the navy. 1t was
stated that Commander Sears had
taken this dispatch ashore to be
cabed to the secretary, but that it
never had reached that official. The
dispatch was ruled out on the ground
that as it was not received it was not
an official communication. 1t was
not read in the court room, but the
following is a copy of it:
Spanish squadron came out OF
Santiago harbor this morning, July 3,
at o.3O and were all captured or de-
stroyed in a running fight to the
westward of about 3H hours. Very
few casualties in our feet. Ellis,
chief yeoman, killed, and one man
wounded on the Brooklyn. Reports
from other ships not yet in. The

Capt. Cook was recalled during the
day and in response to q question
by Capt. Lemly made an additional
statement concerning the retrograde
movement Of the flying squadron May
20 to May 49, He also said in an
swer to a question by the court that
Commodore Schley during the battle
of July was ''cool, brave and en-
thusiasiic. | cannot imagine any
conduct in battle more admirable
Admiral Schley thinks it quite
probable that the presentation of his
testimony in his behalf can be COM
plcted this week and next. lie will

says dispatch from Vienna to the
Daily Express, shave been killed by
the band that kidnapped Miss Stone"
The Daily News, in an editorial up
on the case of Miss Stone, while SYM
psthizing with the efforts in her be.
half, expresses the opinion that the
payment of such a large ransom is
Q very questionable proceeding.
Turkey could easily stamp out
brigandage," says the Daily News,
''but so long as benevolent foreigners
will pay high ransoms why should
the Turks trouble?'
"The belief is growing here says
a dispatch to the Standard from Con-
stantinople, that the Bulgarian and
not the Turkish government is re-
sponsible for the retention of Miss
Stone, whose capture was committed
with the connivance of Macedonia
agitators, il not with that of the
higher authorities. The attitude OF
the latter toward brigand bands is
most suspicious and very different
from what'it was during the time of
Htambulotf."
A Letter Received from Miss Stone.
Sofia, Oct. 16.-A letter has come
from Miss Ellen NJ Stone. the mis-
sionary captured by brigands, urging
that her ransom be sent as soon as
possible and that the pursuit of the
brigands by soldiers be- stopped,
otherwise the brgands will kin her.
Although the time fixed by the
brigands who abducted Miss Stone for
the payment of the ransom demand
ed expired a week ago, no one has ap-
peared at Samakoff to claim the
money or to announce the fate of the
captive, 1t is now learned that the
band has dissolved, but that Miss
Stone is kept under surveillance at
some distance from the frontier.
This is due to snow and cold weather
rendering the mountains uninhabit-
able.
