citation are in session here discussing
the proposal Of combine managers for
, the settlement Of the steel strike. The
conference began at 10 a. m. and last
ed until 1890, when a recess Of an

of the board we're smiling when they
came out of the room, but positively
refused to say anything concerning
the discussion or the probability of
the board accepting the compromise
proposed at the New York conference
last Saturday. President Shaffer said
decision would not likely be reached
until late hour in the afternoon, as
the discussion will be protracted.

Joseph Bishop, secretary of the Ohio
state board of arbitration, and NJ. M.
Garland, surveyor of the port of Pitts
burg, entered the meeting. Both are
former presidents of the Amalgamat.

Member of Court,

washington, July 3l.-A letter has
been received at the navy department
from Admiral Kimberley asking to be
excused from the Schley court of in
auiry on account of the state of his
health. The admiral is understood to
be suffering from heart trouble. The
application was placed in the hands
of Secretary Long who will dispose of
the matter from his home in Higham,
Mass.
Admiral Schley has made answer
to the precept. The letter was mailed
by his counsel Monday night, but navy
department officials say it has not yet
been received at the department.
Admiral Schley has already begun
the preparation of his case. At his re-
quest James Parker, his assistant
counsel, made application to the de.
partment for permission to examine
the logs and official records in connec.
tion with the movements of the ships
on the south side of Cuba and this
permission was granted. Both Ad.
miral Dewey, the president of the
court, and Admiral Benham we're at
the department during the day. The
latter has formally acknowledged the
receipt of the order of Secretary Long
detailing him on the court. There is
no question of acceptance of such 6
detail where an officer is physically
able to serve and Admiral Benham ex
poets to be present when the court
convenes Sept. IL.

about the lottery platform, where the

Quoted, were a repetition Of those of
Monday. During the night and early
morning the crowds had been swelled
by several thousand eager people who
had arrived in prairie schooners or on
trains. Many slept again upon the
hillsides around the wheels Of fortune,
to be on hand early. Others came at
the break Of day and secured positions
as close to the platform as possible.
When the second days drawing COM
menced it was estimated that over 3O,-
600 people were on hand.
The intense excitement of Monday
had told on many and to this was add
ed the Individual feeling that each per-
/ sons chance had materially dimin-
ished. Mondays drawing had given to
1000 homesteaders the privilege of Sc
lecting the best claims in the reserva-
tions. This left 10000 claims and 1861

Intense heat prevailed during the Y

lures during the last three days were
more moderate. Good rains have fall
en- over a large part of the drouth area
in the Mississippi and Upper Missouri
valleys, but drouth conditions have
become most serious in the Ohio val
ley and Tennessee, where the week
has been rainless, except in a few lo-
calities. In the Atlantic coast districts
the weather conditions have been gem
orally favorable, except: over portions
Of the Carolinas and Virginia, where
rain is now needed. The conditions

coast. IT, ~ ->=
Recent rains have improved late

| crop was practically ruined before the
rains came. .,ta- .-l. S
In Iowa the crop has sustained less
injury than in the before-mentioned

! great corn states east of the Missis-
sippi river, except over Northern n
linois, drouth and excessive heat have
continued with disastrous effects upon
corn, which is now ,.-,.s:1h
| In Critical Condition.
In Michigan. and< generally through
out the Middle Atlantic states and
New England, the corn crop is in fine
condition. Winter wheat harvest is
general on the North Pacific coast,
with good yields.
Harvesting of spring wheat is we'll
advanced over the southern portion Of
the spring wheat region and has be-
gun in the Southern Red River val
ley. Premature ripening has reduced
the yield and quality of the crop over
the southern portion of the spring
wheat region, although the threshing
returs show better yields in Iowa
than were anticipated. In North Da-
kota and Northern Minnesota the crop
| has sustained but little injury from
heat.
Oat harvest continues in the more
northerly sections. having been de-
layed by rains in Michigan. Reports
| OF premature ripening continue from
the Upper Missouri valley. A light
crop is indicated in the Middle At
lantic states.
The condition of cotton over the
greater part of the cotton belt is i'm
proved, good growth and clean fields
being generally reported. In Missouri.
Arkansas, Tennessee and Central
Texas, however, the crop continues to
need rain and shedding and blooming
at top in these states are extensively
reported.

peace proposals agreed upon at the.

that Warner Arms and a group Of Of

roneous. The agreement of Saturday
was complete and its force depends

ever, a mere for1nality. If the Anal

Admiral Takes Exception to Precept
to Court of Inquiry.
Washington, July 31.-Admiral
Schley has formally acknowledged the
receipt of the precept appointing a
court of inquiry to investigate his con-
duct during the Santiago campaign.
Schley expresses qualification at the
character of the court which will make
the investigation. The precept is gen.
orally satisfactory, with the excep-
tion Of the fifth specification, which
directs a court of inquiry into: "Cir-
cumstances attending and the reason
for the disobedience by Schley of the
orders of the department contained
in the dispatch of May rs, 1898, and
the propriety Of his conduct in the
premises"
Schley contends that he Is not guilty
of disobedience of orders. In prepara-
tion Of the specification to which the
exception is taken, the department
took into consideration Schley's cable
gram, dated May %, stating:
Much to be regretted, cannot obey
orders of department"
It is contended on behalf Of Schley
that "cannot obey orders" is very diff
ferent from "disobedience Of orders"
The weather conditions were such
when he arrived at Santiago as to
make 1t impossible to coal any ships
of his squadron. In the same dis
patch stated: "Have striven earnest
ly, forced to proceed for coal to Key
West.''
Admiral Sch1ey thinks that the pre-
cept covers the subject thoroughly.
With the department, he believes that
as the Maclay book is based upon
charges made against him, 1t will
stand or fall upon the verdict of the

London, July 31.-Following the re-

ficially reported that there has been
a sharp encounter near N'Qtu, Zulu
land, the British defeating 400 Beers.
There we're losses on both sides.
The Daily News regards the fact
that the Beers are operating in native
territory as serious. It suggests that
they are trying to raise the Zulus and
Swazis against the British, and says
that if they are trying to do SO they
may plead justification as the British
authorized the Swazis to arm. The
paper fears new and repulsive devel-
opments in the South African situa.
