New York. July 24.-The Herald says:
Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley
has asked Secretary Long to appoint
a court OF inquiry to determine the
facts in regard to his course in the
Santiago campaign. The admiral drove
from Elm Point to the Great Neck, L
I, postohice yesterday afternoon, and
a few minutes before O'Clock mailed
a letter which was addressed to John
D. Long, secretary Of the navy, at
Washington. Though the admiral
would not talk of this letter. the ma
ture OF it's contents was known to 9TH
ers in Great Neck, and there is no
doubt that Secretary Long when he
opens it will find in it a request for a
formal and official inquiry.
When Admiral Sclley was pressed to
make some statement of his position
he wrote the following sentences:
II really think that as this matter
is liable to take the form of a judicial
investigation, I ought not to be subject
to interview. I think that action is

General Passenger Agent Thompson
of the Rock Island has advices that
passenger trains from the north are
heavily loaded. and he expects a big
rush today, Thursday and Friday.
Commissioner Richards says his force
can register the crowd each day, even
if 20. 900 people should apply. My only
fear" he said. us that several thousand
people will arrive on late trains Friday,
the last day. I will be compelled to
close the registration at o'clock sharp
regardless of the number OF people left
in line"
Mr. Thompson says that the Rock
Island has handled on an average Of
10000 in and out of Ell Reno every day
since July 10. The number of cars
moved daily is 100, with an average of
100 passengers to the car. This average,
Mr.. Thompson says, will be maintained
till July 20, making a total of 10000
people handled in and out Of FL Reno
in sixteen days. This means that the
Rock Island viii have sold tickets to
$4,000 homeseekers or about one-half
the number to be registered for the
drawing.

Friends of Colonel James Graham of

son has undertaken to find him.
Two special cars with 100 men from

night. Captain w J. Watson of the

The camp extends for i've miles up

BOston and Chicago, of Nation
al League Clubs,
Are Losing Money This Season
For First Time.
RIVALS GET CROWDS,
American Teams in These Cities
Draw Well.
Younger Organization Says 1t
viii Not Compromise.

Washington, July 24-Boston and
Chicago as shown by the official re
turns at league headquarters, are los
ing money this season. This condition
of affairs is revealed by the financial
statements which all of the National
League clubs have to file after each
game with the secretary Of the Nation
al League Boston and Chicago in years
past have generally been among the
regular and consistent money-Inakers
OF the league. consequently this trans
fer of these two veteran establishments
from the surplus to the deficit side of
the balance sheet is a subject of SER
ious reflection by the league magnates
all down the line.
Although the league magnates per-
sistently and emphatically deny that
peace negotiations are pending between
the National League and their rival
the American League, they reluctantly
confess that the financial troubles in
Boston and Chicago are due to the sue
cessful competition of the teams man
aged by Jimmie Collins and Charles
Comiskey. respectively
IL IL claimed that If the Boston and
Chicago representatives in the Nation
al League could stand wen up in the
first division the result might be diff
ferent; but so long as Mr.. Soden and
Mr.. Hart are at the head OF the tail
end teams they cannot successfully
compete with their youthful rivals OF
the American League
In spite of the heavy financial losses
which Boston and Chicago have thus
far sustained during the present sea-
son. it is said that the league as an or
ganization has made money. The at
tendance at nearly all the cities has
been fairly good, and there has been
a remarkable revival of interest in the
national game all over the country,
and particularly in New York and St.
Louis.
OF course. the newspaper accounts OF
the attendance in the respective cities
are not always official For instance,
I'm st. Louis not long ago it was stated
that the crowd numbered something
like 1874 900. There was, on that occasion,
an actual attendance aggregating about
1900.
Unless the leaders of the American
League are deceiving their friends,
there viii be no compromise with the
National League. Recent talks with
Collins Griffith, AIcCSraw. McAleer, Con-
ME Mack and Jimmie Manning are all
to the same effect That is that the
American League is prosperous, and
will continue IN the business regardless
OF what the National League may say
or do. The players IN the American
League receive their salaries promptly,
are well treated and it is predicted
that a number of men now playing in
the National League win voluntarily
seek positions with the American
League at the close Of the present sea-
