One Ct SchIey's Reports Openly
Contradicted This
Morning.
WRANGLE YESTERDAY
OTHER WITNESSES TESTIFY

Schley's friends have not much cause
for rejoicing thus far lover the way
things are going in the court Of in
quiry which he demanded. The first
witness this morning was Captain
HARDER. of the battleship Texas,
who in his evidence before the board
openly contradicted the statement in
Admiral Schley's report as to signals
and weather conditions at Cienfuegos.
Yesterday Rear Admiral Higginson
testified at length. He told In reply
to questions OF the presence Of the
collier Merrimac. and OF the departure
from Cienfuegos aud the arrival at
Santiago on the evening Of the 26th,
In reply to questions he said that the
Massachusetts, had at that time taken
OH about 1870 tons of coal, but that As
the weather was rough this was done
with difficulty.
The witness also told of the fleets
leaving Santiago for Key West on the
night Of its arrival at the former
place, and OF how after Streaming
westward for some time the vessels all
in response to commodore's signals,
returned and steamed to within two
or three miles of the mouth Of the
harbor. What happened to cause the
decision to return to Key westY" the
witness was asked. II don't know"
was the reply.
What was the condition Of the
weather at the time for coaling at
seay''
ut was not impossible to coal, !
think. -
Towards the close yesterday the
court announced that IL had some
questions Of It's own to ask.
These were written. and the first
was concerning the elevation Of the
guns during he tomhsrdnent of the
Colon on May 81. The reply was that
at first they were 7 800 feet aud lat
terly 1000 feet.
The next question was as TO wheth-
er there was any place Of shelter
near Santiago where the tiyips squad;
ron could have eoaled upon it, M,
rival at santisgei''
Admiral Higginsrn replied that
Guantanamo was only forty miles to
the east.
The third question, coming as it
did from the court, created something
Of a sensation. which was added 70
by the reply. The question was;
WAS every effort made by Admir-
=, Schley to destroy or capture the
Spanish steamer Colon as she lag at
anchor in the harbor at Santiago be-
tween the 27th and slst Of May"
"0hject, object" came from each
of Admiral schley's counsel, but be-
fore a halt could be made the wit.
ness had replied, II don't think 1t
was.
The question and the reply led to g
legal controversy.
Judge Wilson and Mr.. Rayner both
gave reasons for their objections,
They contended that the questions
called for the opinion of the witness,
whereas only facts were admissible
Finally the court decided that nc
opinions were admissible and the
Rear Admirals reply was stricken.
A number of other witnesses were
called to testify as to the feasibility Of
coaling at sea, aud all seemed TO thinl
that it was possible on the occasion.
Capt Harber's memory proved had
and he grew angry under the interro
CATION Of schley's counsel. At nooI
recess was taken, and Rear Admira
Higginson was recalled to correc
some statements made yesterday.

much amusement with his shooting
yesterday afternoon. When he was
uncertain that his bird was dead he
stood several times at his post with
a very steady expression in his eyes

the pigeon. The attitude he struck
brought a laugh from the ladies and
he then kept mp his position solely for
the amusement of the visitors He
made fun for the crowd and several
times came near giving the joke away
by laughing. Very few knew that he
was "jollying" the crowd which made
the fun the more enjoyable.

CLOCK TOLD THE SECRET.

Because he listened while his neighbors talked over the telephone, William Gehrung. farmer, living near Dresden. Ohio. has been fined by the said neighbors S2o.
 Some time ago a number of the ag- riculturistS organized telephone con- pany. Each man built one mile of line. which he keeps in regular repair. An exchange is maintained at Frazer burg. each farmer contributing to the salary of the operator.
 When the telephones were put in the party line principles were employed. Half a dozen phones are on each line and when one is called all ring. An agreement was made that any sub scriber found guilty of listening would be fined &2o.
 By and by friction developed. Farm CT Green and Farmer Brown discOv cred that whenever they talked some person on the line listened to the con versation. Complaints multiplied, but no definite clue was obtained until one frosty morning during a recent cold snap.
 Hello. Green; going to town, this morning?'
 Yes

 Somebody's listening again. re- marked Green '.Td give anything to ind out who that fellow is.'
 If we catch him it won't be good for him. remarked Brown. Say, whose clock was that strik- ing:'' he asked. | Bill Gehrung's,' came the answer. And in less than an hour every sub | scriber knew that one William Geh- 1 rung had been detected by his clock. the peculiar tone of which was known far and wide. The outcome was the lining of Gehrung according to agree ment-Chicago Chronicle.

WHEN GREELY LOST HIS HAT

A very distinguished assemblage honored Grants ball, which as held in the newly completed north wing of the treasury building. Elaborat te preparations were made for dancing the manager. by telegraphic communi- cations, keeping the dancing moving simultaneously on three floors But the man who preferred eating to danc- ing, and could not get even within sight of the food, was not we'll pleased Refreshments were served in the base ment. in room too small to accom- modate the G,OOO guests, but quite large enough to contain the provis. ions, which were scarce indeed. In the cloak rooms the committee in charge lost their heads, visitors lost their hats. and it is stated, on good au- thority, that the sulphurous vapors which rose fin the vicinity of the place where Horace Greeley searched for his hat during two hours were stifling.
 It is recorded that one gentleman walked to Capitol hill. two miles, in dancing pumps and bare headed, and that many frightened women still covered in the corners of the dressing rooms at dawn the next morning. So. in preparing for Grants second ball, the committee made elaborate arrange ments in order that these unpleasant nesses should not again occur.-Na- tional Magazine for March.

SuucuIaffou nnd Theft

Some statistician, in emulation of Lom broso, perhaps, has been figuring out the habitual employment of con- victs. He concludes that more men and women whose employers are the national, state or municipal govern ment fall into evil ways and come to untoward ends than those who work for private individuals or corporations. A very large proportion of the men and women who have been handlers of public moneys seem to yield to the constant temptation and begin to speculate, and some cynic observes that peculation is the corollary of speculation. As g. matter of fact, most of the big and little thieves who con- fess how they were led to take money that did not belong to them declare that speculations of one sort or an- other brought them eventually behind the barn.-Chicago Chronicle.

MONITORS BIC FIGHT.
Thirty-ninth Anniversary of Hampton
 Roads Conflict.

Thirty-nine years ago Saturday the memorable conflict between the Merri- mac and the Monitor took place in Hampton Roads, and the conflict has a special interest for Connecticut people, for it was largely through the faith of native of this state that John Fries sons great fighting machine was built. That battle sounded the death knell of wooden fighting ships. It brought the day of the metal hull in naval archi- lecture
 During the early part of the war Cornelius S. Bushnell. native of Mad lson and resident of New Haven, had shipyards at Fair Haven and had entered upon the building of the Gal ena. to be partially protected by iron bars. Doubts were expressed as to the ability of the boat thus weighted down to carry-her armament safely and MT Bushnell was led to consult with Cap tain John Ericsson about the matter Captain Ericsson said the boat would carry the weight expected of her. and then asked Mir Bushnell if he had time to examine plans of q floating battery absolutely impregnable to the heaviest shot and shell. Mir Bushnell thus saw the plans of the Monitor, with which he Was delighted. He at once took LID the matter and with money, time and energy he fought to have the boat built and accepted by the government
 lie won his light and so did the new and wonderful warship.
 It Is proposed to erect a monument to MT Bushnell in this state and the collecting of the funds for this purpose has been going on with considerable success through the Cornelius $. Busn- nell National Memorial association. of which Colonel Norris G. Osborn of New Haven is the president. Francis E. Allen of Hartford is one of the vice presidents
