TESTIMONY in REGARD TO THE
NAVAL BATTLE OFF SANTIAGO

had only consented to it as . compro-
mise,
Ensiueer Bates admitted that the Of
ficiAi steam log of the Texas contained
no record of the signal to reverse the
enGines,' Commander Schroeder testi-
fed concerning the coal supply Of the
Massachusetts, which he said would
have been sufficient for blockade Of
from sixteen to twenty days.
The day closed with another animat-
ed controversy between counsel a. to
the policy OF bringing Admiral Samp-
sons name into the trial.
Mr.. Raymer, counsel for Admiral
Schley. said:
I'VE do not propose to bring the
name Of admiral Sampson into this
controversy any more than 1t Is posi-
BILE to do SO. We are not here now for
the purpose of condemning the fact,
IL 1t proves to be fact, OF the New
York, leaving ON the morning Of the
battle; we are not here to criticise the
blockade that Admiral Sampson had
at Santiago. but are here to establish
this, or under the specifications of
your precept memorandum, to find
out whether the blockade at Santiago
was a close or adequate blockade.
.NOwS IL We luoNV - Whht ~
far as distances We're concerned, the
same blockade that the commander-in-
chief maintained there. then we can
justify the course of Admiral Schley,
who was commander-in-chief before
Sampsons arrival.
There is one other point. and this is
all done for the purpose Of really not
delaying but properly getting at the
matter. We propose to prove that on
the 1st day of June the Colon was In
precisely the same position inside OF
the harbor that she was on the 31st
day of May. when Admiral Schley
made the reconnaissance with the Mas
sachusetts and the New Orleans.
Now. we propose to show that
when Admiral Sampson came up with
the ships his ships saw the Colon in
the same position and instead OF at
tacking it steamed by and permitted
her to go further inside the harbor.
Now. would not we be justified i'll not
engaging in battle with the Colon and
the shore batteries at Santiago II Ad-
miral Sampson took the same course?"

OUR NEW PRESIDENT BEGINS
WORK AT THE WHITE HOUSE

Washington, Sept. 2-President
Roosevelt walked early to the White
House yesterday from the residence
OF his brother-in-law, Commander
CowIes, arriving shortly before go
O'clock. Secretary Hay and Secretary
Gage came almost upon his heels and
saw the President for a few minutes
In the Cabinet room.
The doors of the White House are
closed to the public. but admission, OF
course, was accorded to those who
desired to see the President personally,
and within an hour a score Of men
prominent In public life had called to
pay. their respects and to extend their
good wishes for successful admins
tration. Among them were Senator's
Scott and Elkins of West Virginia,
Senators Prtchartl of North Caroline,
Mfllard Of Nebraska and Burton Of
Kansas, and Representatives Heat
wole, McCleary and Stephens Of Min
nesota, Gibson OF Tennessee, Living
stone Of Georgia and Dayton Of West
Virginia. All were delighted with the
reception accorded them.
Senators Elkins and Scott congratu-
lated the President upon the decision
he had made when he took the oath
Of office.
That simple declaration" said Sem
ator Scott, Immediately restored con-
fdence to the business world"
To the Minnesota representatives the
President recalled the fact that it was
In their state that he had made his
last public utterance as vice president
and that in that confession Of faith, i"
as he characterized 1t, he committed
himself to the policy Of Mckinley. to
which he pledged his adherence upon
office at Buffalo.

Washington. Sept. 24.-The part
played by the battleship Texas in the
naval battle on Santiago, July 3,
1S9S. in which the Spanish fleet, under
Admiral Cervera, was sunk, was the
basis OF the greater part Of yesterdays 8
proceedings in the Schley naval court
of inquiry. OF the four witnesses ex-
amined during the day three had been
officers on board the Texas during the
battle. and two of them were new
witnesses. There We're Commander
George C. Hcilner. who was navigator
on the Texas, and Commander Alex
ander b. Bates. who WAS the chief en-
.ineer on that batfleship. Commander
Harber. executive officer and the chief
surviving officer of the ship since the
death of Captain Philip, was recalled.
The fourth witness WAS Commander
Seaton Schroeder. executive officer on
the Massachusetts and now governor
Of the island Of Guam.
The testimOney several times during
the day was somewhat exciting, as
il was especially so when Commander
Heilner described the battle and the
part the Texas had taken in it. He said
that when the Brooklyn made its loop
at the beginning of the battle 1t passed
"a
not to exceed 100 to $50 yards. and
that, at the command of Captain Phil
ip. the Texas had been brought to n
dead stop.
Engineer Bates testified that the star
oard engines had been stopped. and
said he thought this also had hap
pened TO the port engines. Command
or I1cilncr expressed the opinion that
three miles had been lost by this man
cuver and the fact that part OF the ma
chinery was deranged. He said he
considered THAI the Texas was in
greater danger when the Brooklyn
crossed her bow that at any other
time during the battle.
On cross-eNamination Commander
Heilner admitted having taken part in
the preparation of the official Navy
Department chart showing the
positions at different times of
the ships which participated in
the battle. He said that accord
ing 10 this chart the two ships
never We're nearer than 800 yards of
each other. But he contended the
chart was inaccurate. and he said he

BEGINNING CZOLGOSZ TRIAL
BEFORE JUSTICE WHITE

Buffalo, n. V, Sept 24.-Leon +.
CzolgosZ was placed on trial yester-
day morning charged with the murder
of President Mckinley. He entered a
plea of guilty" which was subse-
rection of the court.
All the events of the day Indicated
that the trial will be short. Court con-
vened at 10 o'clock. and within two
hours eight Jurors had been secured.
Iechnicalities We're not raised by the
examining counsel. but it was signifi-
cant that every man who said he had
formed an opinion on the case was ex
clrscd by the district attorney. Those
who acknowledged that they had
formed an opinion or stated that they
were prejudiced. but admitted that
their opinion could be changed by evil
dence. were accepted by each side

PLOT TO MURDER PRESIDENT
MATCHED MANY MONTHS AG(

Cleveland. Ohio, Sept. 22.-Inyestiga-
tions made by Police Detective
Schmunk reveal the startling possibili-
ty that a plot to assassinate President
Mckinley was laid year or more
ago. before he was elected for his Sec
ond term, and that 1t may have been
laid in Oregon township, where the
CZolgosz family lived. A remittance
made to the assassin by his brother,
Waldeck CzOlgosz, about month ago,
led to the investigation that may have
an important bearing on the case.
From the first the Buffalo police
have been strong in their belief that
there was a plot. One of the strong
elements In their belief has been the
fact that the handkerchief hy which
the assassin concealed the hand in
which he held his weapon. was a wom-
ans handkerchief. What is more I'M
portant Is that the handkerchief was
bound about the hand In way that
he, 1t ia said. would not have been
able to tie it himself
The fact that CZolgosz had money
impelled the detective to try to learn
whence got it. Yesterday his brother
Waldeck confessed to having sent it
to Leon under the name of Frank Sny-
der, at West Seneca, New York.
Detective Schmunk yesterday ascer-
tanned from neighboring farmers that
the Czolgosz boys, Leonard and Wal
deck, have been readers of Socialist
papers for several years. John ID.

The tendency among the British
middle classes is rather to live above
their incomes than within them. There
Is also passion for luxury in London
and desire to display. which seems
peculiarly stupid and useless desire
in huge city, where one seldom
knows ones neighbors. And so, too.
the cordial pot luck dinners of a
generation ago have given place to
ceremonial champagne functions. in
which man out OF dress clothes is
out of place.
