twenty-nine years experience in Bull

Miss Stone is quietly sequestered in

One of wellington,s onlcers.

On good authority soldiers like best
to be differed by gentlemen, but they
have their choice of the type. Of the
right kind was Gen. Crawford, of the
Light Division. An incident in his
career during one Of the wellington
wars shows him to have been rich in
that justice which commands respect
from equals and loyalty from infe
riors; in a word, he kept discipline
without regard to rank. His division
was crossing ford on one of the Span
ish marches and an officer, to keep HIS
breaches dry, rode through on a SOL
dier's back. Crawford observed the
thing with disgust, and in a minute
was splashing through the water after
them both. Put him down, sir!" he
shouted. Put him down! l desire
you to put that officer down instant
ly!" The soldier dropped him and.
went on. Return back, sir!' Craw.
ford said to the officer. "and go
through the water like the others. +
will not allow my officers to ride upon
the mems backs through the rivers:
all must take their share alike here

New York, Oct. 21.-Joseph H.
Choate, United States AMBASSADOR to
Great Britain; former Vice President
Levi P. Morton, and Gen. Francis V.
Greene were pa: sengers on board the
steamer Philadelphia, which has ar
rived here from Southampton. Mr..
Choate was met at the steamship pier
by his law partner, A. W. Evarts, and
Tor few minutes they walked up and
down the pier talking. After the am
bassador's baggage had been passed
by the customs offic ais the party hast
ened away from the pier Mr. Choate
was unwilling to discuss the reasons
for his return home or to talk about
the isthmian canal treaty. He said:
Il cannot talk about this matter, nor
would it be right for me to discuss pos
sible treaties or the canal question.

across and have enjoyed myself very
much. I shall remain here until New
Years, and, of course, shall go to
Washington to confer with the presi-
dent and Secretary Hay 1 shall not
go to Washington for a few days.
A number Of other questions regard
ing England's attitude on the canal
question were asked the ambassador,
but to all of them he smilingly gave
the same reply; that he would not
discuss his affairs. Mr.. Evarts, who
left the pier after the ambassadors
family had driven away, said that the
ambassador had gone to catch an early
train for his summer home at Stock
bridge, Mass

BIG HOTELS CAPACITY.
New York Hostelry That Takes Care of
Thousands of Guests Daily.

Thousands of Guests Daily.
Neither the bigness nor the COM
pleteness of a big hotel is appreciated
by the patron who finds his interest
satisfied with the accommodations
which it furnishes. He knows in a
general way that it may be a dozen
stories high and several cellars deep,
and that the thousand or more guests
are attended by servants on every
hand, and when he pays his bill he
believes that the charges are exorb
tant.
One of these hotels, which differs
from the Others chiefly in degree
represents an investment of $1,000
600. The 1,400 bedrooms and $50 bath
rooms in it are SO constructed by
series of inner courts that each opens
to the outer air 1t has several con-
cert halls and theaters, three great
bathrooms, and, in addition to it's pub
lie dining room, where, during the
horse show week, for instance, 10000
people are served daily, it has series
of private dining rooms which are ar
ranged for from ten to 1000 persons.
In the largest ball room in this hotel
was given one night last winter the
charity ball, attended by $500 people.

SCHLEY CASE NEAR CLOSE
Admira| Will Take the Stand Late
in the Week.

Star Witness-Importance of Chief
Machinist Hunley's Testimony-Bclief
in Vindication of Schlcy.

Washington, d. c., Oct 22-Admiral
schley will conclude his defense dur
ing the present week. He expects to
take the stand himself not later than
Thursday. His flag lieutenant, B. w.
Wells, Jr., will re ume his testimony
tomorrow morning. Inasmuch as
Lieutenant Wells story covers the en-
tire scope Of the operation of the fly
ing squadron, he will doubtless be on
the stand all day. Captain Clarke of
the Oregon will follow Lieutenant
Wells. His story of the battle of San
tlago is expected to be one OF the star
recitals of the inquiry. 1t will be full
and complete, covering every incident
of that great engagement from the
time the first gun was fired until the
Oregon and Brooklyn forced the Girls
tobol Colon to run for the beach.
The navy department had hoped to Sc
cure Captain Clarke as their witness,
believing that he was willing to add
to the ISLANDERS which the department
invoked against the admiral. They
found, however, that Captain Clarke's
story was wholly in favor of Admiral
schley and refused to put him on the
stand.
Captain Cooks appearance on the
stand, although called by the depart
ment, was the real beginning of Adj
miral Schley's defense. Every fair
minded man who heard the captain
testify said that the last vestige OF
doubt as to Admiral schley's conduct
during the war had been. removed.
Other witnesses from the Brooklyn ana
Oregon have not only completely cor
roborated Captain Cook, but have fur
nlshed other evidence in favor of Adj
miral Schley. Ems gn Marble fatty
contradicted Captain sigsbee regard
ing the latters communication to
Schley off Santiago just before the
retrograde movement was ordered
Ensign McCauley, who was the signal
officer of the Brooklyn, made it clear
by reading the signals exchanged afte,
the close of the battle with Sampson
that the conspiracy to destroy Schley
was Matched on toard the NV York
on the afternoon of July 5, 1888. The
most sensational disclosure, involving
as it does the belief that perjury and
subordinaticn of perjury were commit
ted, was brought about through the
appearance of Chief Machinist Hunley
as a witness Nobody in Washington
| who has followed the proceedings O
the court from day to day has the
slightest doubt Of what the verdict will
be or that Admiral schley will be full,

In the Detroit river at o'clock a. m.
There were exciting scenes, bordering
upon panic, among the passengers. but
all were taken off in safety. A ma
jority OF them were at breakfast when
the boat struck some obstacle in the
stream, presumably a rock or sunk
en- anchor. There was wild rush
for the stairs, and some of the half
clad passengers, late in leaving their
cabins, were forced to wade through a
foot OF water. These fortuna enough to
flrst reach places of safety lent willing
hands and their companions were
lifted and dragged out of the dining
room and continued dressing in the
open air. The captain and crew re-
stored order by assurances that the
boat was in shallow water and that
there was no danger. The passengers
locked to the upper decks, and after
the steamer slowly settled down to the
bottom patiently waited until they
were taken ashore by the steamer
Newsboy, which responded to distress
signals.
