AN ENQUIRY ON THE PROTOCOL
MIR. Hay Wishes to Know the Exact
Date of the Signing.

Secretary Hay sent cablegram to Com
missioner W. W Rockhill, in Pekin, yes
terday afternoon, requesting him to adj
wise the State Department at the earliest
possible moment of the date fixed upon
for the signing of the final protocol agreed
to by the Powers. and telling him that
it was important that this Government
should know. 1t is thought that the date
will not be later than the fore part of
next week, and it may even be signed the
last of this week. As has been stated
heretofore, Commissioner Rockhill has
advised the department that the draft of
the protocol has been agreed to by all
of the Powers, but considerable time is
required after this to get it into shape
for the signatures of the eleven represen-
tatives who are to execute it.
The date at first agreed upon was AT
gust II. the first anniversary OF the re-
lief of Pelin by the allied armies, but the
delay occasioned by Great Britain in re-
fusing to sign, owing to some minor OBJ
jections regarding the tariff. made post
pOnement necessary. Commissioner Rock
hill expected 20 leave Pekin today, but he
will now remain there until the protocol
is signed.
Minister Conger who sailed from San
Francisco about three weeks ago, is ex-
pected to arrive in Petin within short
time. but even if he should reach there
before TIE protocol is executed. the in
strument will. nevertheless. be signed by
Mr.. Rockhill upon behalf of the United
States. Ii is probable. however, that Mr..
Conger will not arrive IN Pekin until af-
ter the matter has been entirely disposed
of. MIR. Rockhill is expected to leave i'm
mediately after he concludes this work
although he may possibly remain few
days longer in order to turn over affairs
to Mr.. Copger personally.

mystery has always surrounded the prep

one was allowed to look upon the dead

credence in many quarters that Stanton
had taken his own life. and a vast deal

arisen over the subject. IT was said that

WIND DIED AND RACE FAILED
Columbia stuck Close to Constitution
While Breeze Lasted.

NEWPORT, r. l.. Aug. 1i.-After sail
ing in light tickle breezes and drifting
on the water off this port for three hours
and thirty-six minutes. the CONSTITUTION
and Columbia gave up trying to make
race today. and were towed back to
the harbor. Very little could be learned
of the relative merits of the boats from
today's sailing. The course was to have
been fifteen miles to wfndward and re-
turn and the yachts started in a five
knot breeze from the south-southeast.
Shortly after the start the breeze fresh
ened, but soon got flIky and hauled and
backed 4 couple of points each way. First
the Constitution would get lift and then
she would be knocked off and the Co
lumbia would be let up. They were buck
ing into strong head tide and very lit
tie headway could be made. even while
the light breeze lasted. About three
hours after the start it fattened out al
together and then. after waiting for half
an hour, the Columbia's head sails were
run down and her tender signaled for.
The Constitution at once lowered her sails
and she, too. was towed in;
Considering the lightness of the breeze,
the Columbia did very well and kept close
to the Constitution. As soon as the big
yachts quit. the yawls Nigiiant and Nav
ahoe and the seventy-footers, Rainbow
and Virginia, quit too. When the race
ended it was hard to say which yacht
had the lead in each class. The Consti-
tuition. if the wind had come in again
from the same quarter. would have had
the weather position. The Columbia had
drifted ahead, but was to the westward
of her course. The Rainbow was to lee
ward of the Virginia and the Vigiiant
appeared to have better position than
the Navahoe.
Tine Constitution and Columbia sailed
about ten miles. The Constitution, tow
ed by the Mount Morris. and the Column.
bia, in tow of the Park City, left the har

they will meet in a race on Friday.

TEGELER LOSES HIS CASE.
The Naval Mans Petition for
Habeas Corpus Dismissed.
Conviction and Sentence for Dis
ObcyinE "a Militia officer Held to
BE Legal - Appeal Noted by His
Counsel for Further Proceedings.

Justice Clabaugh yesterday dismissed
the petition of Robert g. pegeler for
writ of habeas corpus to4seeure his re-
lease from military prison. on the
ground that the court-martial Which found
him guilty and sentenced him had Juris-
diction over his person, and the proceed
ings Were legal.
Tegeler was found guilty by a court
martial composed of officers of the reg
ular service of conduct prejudicial to
military discipline. and was sentenced to
three months Imprisonment in the mill
tary prison at Norfolk, Va. The specific
charge against him was that he refused
to obey a command given by Lieutenant
Commander Sherburne G. Hopkins of the
Naval Battalion, District o. Columbia
National Guard, while the latter was in
command of the United States. steamship

noted an appeal in open court, and the
bond was fixed at $50.
Tegeler is an enlisted man in the United
States Navy, rated as a coal passer. but
detailed as ''ship-keerer'' of the Oneida
at the time of the act of disobedience
complained of. He was then tried by
court-martiai. composed of officers of the
fenced to three months Imprisonment.
Tegeler filed a petition for habeas corpus
20 gain his liberty, on the ground that he
was not properly convicted, rs he was not
subservient to the orders of a militia Off
Ger. Argument was heard on the question
on Monday last, and the court in disposing
of the matter said it was well and ex-
haustively presented on both sides.
justice Ciabaugh stated that without
deciding whether Or not the authority of
militia officers extends to and over en-
listed men in the United States Navy,
the finding of the court-maTtial
which declared Tegeler guilty of conduct
preJudicial to good conduct, was proper.
He further stated, however. that the
question of the authority of militia Of
ficer over an enlisted man in the navy is
very interesting one and one on which
there should be legislation to determine
the extent of the jurisdiction of militia
men in such cases.
As the Court of Appeals for the District
VIII not convene until after tt geler would
have served his sentence il confined now,
an effort viii be made to have the Secre-
tary of the Navy parole Tegeler until af-
ter the matter is heard in the upper
court. In the event that parole is not
granted the case VIII be taken to the
Court of Claims on an action to recover

dition to his term of Imprisonment.

proportion, according to the latest

pending on the view--of the list,
for there are only 4l6 sctual

the average, with 603 persons for
