Counsel RaynOr'S
Splendid Defense.
flnal Argument for Schley Bril-
liant and Elsquent, Made the .
Auditors Weep.

Washington, Nov. 6.-The
climax of the SchI.y court of in
quiry came this afternoon when
MIR. Raynnr, the chief counsel for
Admiral Schley, concluded a bril-
liant argument of over three hours
with peroration, so eloquent and
impa1si"ned, that all within the
sound of his voice were profound
ly touched. In vivid colors he
painted the picture of the Brook
lvn with Commodore Schlsy on
tho bridge fighting the entire
Spanish fleet until the Oregon ap-
peared ont of the smoke. The
thunders of the Brooklyn, music
TO" the ears of his countrymen, he
said, aroused Admiral Schley's
eavious foes. He pictured the
victorious sailor suffering as few
have suffered for thre" long years
while the fires of persecution
leaped around him and now await
ing the hour of his vindica,ion in
the verdict of the court. The
scene in the court room ~ Mr..
Raynor finished was thrilling.
The attendance had been large all
day and at the morning session a
lady had tainted from excitement.
AS Mr.. Rayncr began his eulogy
of Admiral Schley those in the
audience, many of whom were
ladies', leaned forward in their
seats. The spell of his oratory
was over them and when he de-
scribed the admiral's gallant deeds
and the long persecution to which
he had been subjected many of
them broke down and wept. The
members of the court displayed
evidence of emotion and Admiral
Schley himself was plainly moved.
lilo sat, leaning back, with his
hands behind his head. His chin
twitched and as his counsel SAID he
could afford to await the verdict
OF posterity two big tears rolled
down his checks. He moved i'm
easily to conceal his emotion and
under the pretease of adjusting
his glasses brushed the tears aside.

Charlotte, n. c., August 12.-Char-
lotte defeated Raleigh yesterday by
score of TO /. Both Raleigh and
Charlotte were badly crippled. Kelley
was left in Raleigh and Hennegar in
Wilmington. Despite this fact Raleigh
put up a good game, and had it not
been for Bigbee's home run in the first
inning, with two men on bases. the
story would be told in a different way.
Stocksdale pitched great game for
the Red Birds and Powers, at short,
was invincible. Lambeth, Charlotte
boy, played good third for Raleigh, and
was responsible for the only run the
Red Birds made.
LeGrande made fearful error of a
hot ground ball, allowing it to pass by
him, the batter making two bases.
The real features of the game for
Raleigh were Stocksdales pitching
Powers excellent work at short and
that of Lambeth's at third. Charlotte
came in one of playing an errorless
game. That one was not costly.

THE SECOND SHAMROCK.
The Cup Challenger Has ARRIVED in New York
Day.

New York, August 12.-The new Ameri-
cas- cup challenger Shamrock ii, lay at
anchor off Sandy Hook Lightship last
night and early this morning was towed
up the bay to Tompkinsvile, Staten Is
land. She will be taken at once to Erie
Basin where she will be stripped and
her racing mast stepped. Her spars are
ready and there will be no delay in GET
ting her into racing trim.
The challenger of 1901 received a lively
and enthusiastic welcome from every
craft in the harbor, as she came up the
bay in tow of the tug Robert Haddon 1t
was at her anchorage overlooking the field
where she is to give battle in September
to the defender of the cup that the yacht
ing sharps had their first glimpse of the
new challenger by daylight. The grace
and beauty of the lines of her slender
body We're marred by her cumberous ocean
rig and the litter of confusion on her
deck, as her crew were preparing to
weigh anchor. But one glance was suffi-
cient to convince the experts that Wat
son had built a much handsomer boat than
the old Shamrock. She looks the fastest
boat ever turned cut in British waters.

partment has selected Rear Admiral Nor
timer L. Johnson, now in command at the
Port Royal Naval Station to succeed Ad-
miral Sampson in command of the Boston
Navy Yard when the latter officer shall
retire. The formal appointment has not
been made. However. it is usual when
the retirement of an officer is ahead to
look about for those available to sue
ceed him and this led the Department
some weeks ago to determine upon Ad-
miral Johnson for the prospective service
1t has been known for some time to
the Navy Department officials that Ad-
miral Sampson is not in robust health and
that he might desire to lay aside his
duties at the yard before the date of his
retirement from the service. AS to this,
however, which will be in February Ad-
mral Sampson has not asked to be re-
lieved, or indicated when he would like
to be detached. 1t is stated that the
action of the Department has no con-
nection with the Schley court of inquiry.
Officials of the Department were unable
to say today whether Admiral Samp-
son would be summoned as a witness or
would appear otherwise before the court.
