WILL AIR IT WELL
INVESTIGATION OF SCHLEY TO
BE MOST THOROUGH.
COURT TO SIT MONTHS
Precept Issued by Navy Department
Addressed to Admiral Dewey Made
PubIic-Facts, Opinions and Rec.
ommen dations All to be Set Forth
by Court

Washington, July 27-The precept
TO the Schley court Of inquiry which
the navy department has been prepar-
ing for several days was given to the
public yesterday afternoon. The doc
ument was addressed to Admiral
Dewey, as president of the court, in
structing him concerning the matters
to be investigated. While it directs
that the entire matter" Of Schley's
conduct during the operations in West
Indian waters shall be investigated, it
also selects certain distinctive acts of
the rear admiral concerning the facts
and propriety of which it calls for par
cover briefly Sch1ey's alleged delay
with the flying squadron at Cienfue-
COS, the siowness of his progress to-
ward Santiago after leaving Cienfue-
COS, the retrograde movement toward
Key West, the effectiveness of the
bombar dment Of the Spanish fleet at
ranges used in the reconnaissance of
May 31st, the state of the coal supply
on various ships when he telegra pied
| the department he would return to
! Key West, the loop of the Brooklyn
at Santiago, the accuracy of his re-
ports and matters relating to the con-
troversy between him and Commander
Hodgson over the alleged colloQuy,
| which is said to have taken place
aboard the Brooklyn when the loop
was made during the naval engage
ment off Santiago.
One important point in the precept
| is the direction to the court to report
in it's conclusions "all pertinent facts
which it may deem to be established,
| together with it's opinion and recon-
mendations in the premises"
The counts practically sum up the
criticisms of Schley's conduct made
| by Secretary Long to the senate
which the secretary characterized as
''Schley's reprehensible conduct" The
court will probably sit several months
and more than likely until after con-
gress convenes in December.

KEENAN, WI |
LEAVE RUSSIA

st. Petersburg, July PA Russian
police officer called up George Ken
nan, the American authority and lee
turer, at his hotel Thursday evening
and informed him he must leave the
country by 10 o'clock the next even
ing Mr.. KEENAN, was not allowed to
leave his room in the interim, but he
was courteously treated. This action
by the Russian authorities is taken
under the law giving the minister Of
the interior authority to expel unde-
sirable foreigners. The notice served
upon Mr.. KEENAN, characterized him
as untrustworthy politically. Mr..
KEENAN, has informed the United
States minister to Russia, Charlie
magne Tower, Of this action Of the
Russian authorities, but has not asked
Mr.. Tower to intervene in the matter
KEENAN, was Is years old when he
first went to Russia as an operator on
the Russia-American telegraph
scheme. His work carried him into
Siberia, where he remained for about
three years. While there, they heard
that the Atlantic cable was a success
and that killed the Russian-American
cable plan. Ten years later he re-
turned to Siberia, and subsequently
Travelled extensively in Caucasus.
Several years ago he was sent to Rus
STA by The Century people, to investi-
gate the convict system. On his re-
turn he wrote an account of his jour
ney, publication of which was forbid
den in Russia. Tolstoi's book, Revo-
luton, goes far to substantiate his &C
count of the convict system. He has
lectured extensively.

TAKE TURNS IN WINNING.
Illinois Wins Fifth Race For Canada's
CUP Defender.

Chicago, July 27.-The Illinois, the
Chicago fin-keel yacht, won the fifth
trial race yesterday for the selection
of Canada's cup defender. The De
troit was second, nearly two minutes
behind, while the Milwaukee and the
Cadillac were far in the background.
Yesterdays trial had been expected
to end the series and give the final
victory to either the Milwaukee or the
Cadillac, each of which had won
twice. The Milwaukee and the CadiI-
lac were the leaders when eighteen
miles of the twenty-one had been
sailed and then were pocketed by a
calm which arrested the progress Of
the entire fleet. Finally, a fitful
breeze sprang up. Illinois and Detroit
were the first to feel it. and came
dancing in. Illinois in the lead. the
other yachts creeping along with flap
ping sails over smooth sea behind
Yesterdays performance will result
in a sixth race today. The chief re-
suit demonstrated yesterday was that
the Milwaukee could sail to windward
faster than any of her competitors.
Mile after mile the Milwaukee in
creased its lead until eighteen miles
had been covered when the wind died
suddenly. In half an hour the Illinois
got on even terms with the Milwau-
kee and catching the slight breeze
from the northwest sailed over the
home mark winner, the elapsed time
being 3:52:4S. The Detroit's time
was 3:54:50, the Milwaukee's 3:57:20,
the Cadillac's 4:00:14.

mains of the crops.
July 81 was the hottest day ever
recorded in sections of the middle
west, the thermometer registering as
high as lis degrees in places.
The drouth continues throughout
the west, but Wall street and London
believe the crop conditions are better

stocks advanced.
EXCESSIVE neat continues through

Il don't know exactly what direct
influence the presence or absence OF
forests has on the climate" said Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wilson, "but
know this, that the devastation OF
the ranges is resulting in the growth
of the arid lands of the west; that
these arid lands cannot be irrigated
for lack of water and that the lacR
of water is partly due to the destruc
ton of the forests at the sources OF
the streams. I have sent experts
into the western country and have
directed that every source of informa
ton shall be utilized to obtain al
data possible concerning the hot
wave, it's causes and effects. I think
we can safely promise some highly
important and interesting informa
ton for our next monthly crop
bulletin on Aug. TO-"

MEN DOWN
UNEXPECTED MOVE AT MIXES.
PORT AGAINST AMALGA-
MATED ASSOCIATION.

Pittsburg. July 27.-The National
Tube, Works company at McKeesport
made an unexpected move yesterday
intended to checkmate the Amalga-
mated association. It's skilled work
men have been asked to sign individ-
ual contracts to practically repudiate
any union labor and have been given
but a short time to think the matter
over. 1t is understood should they
not sign the contracts they will find
the positions vacant and the axe is
expected to fall today. 1t transpired
yesterday late in the evening that
600 welders of the mills were paid off
and then taken into the Office of the
general superintendent where they
were presented with individual con-
tracts to be signed for at least year.
Some demurred while others signed
the contracts.
The movement carried consterna-
ton into the ranks of the strikers.
The welders were highly skilled
Workmen and with their cooperation
the big plant might be closed down.
| With them in line the plant would
| probably keep on runnin gas though
nothing had happened. 1t was init
mated last night by friends of the
welders that they would ali sign The
| contract.
Definite announcement that the Off
Gals of the American Sheet Steel
| company would start the w. Devices
| wood mill in McKeesport as a non
union plant Monday reached the head
quarters of the Amalgamated associa
ton early yesterday. That the move
ment would not be permitted to be
made without decided attempt to
check it was subsequently shown by
| the long, earnest con terCnces that
| took place in Skaters office during
| the afternoon. While the rank and
| file of the strikers are not acquainted
with the plans of the campaign, they
| now believe important developments
will soon occur which will change the
! aspect of affairs considerably
Among the officials of the manufac-
turers the same studious silence is
! preserved. The only statement OBJ
| tainable has been that the situation is
unchanged and that the manufactur,
| ers had made no overtures for a set
| tlement of the strike and did not in
tend to.

leave Butte for fear of being kid
mapped and roughly handled by
union men.

strikers from interfering with the
operation of the company's plants.

strikers keep the steel plants closed,
men refusing to roast at the furnaces.
The attempt to start at Wellsville
proved a failure.
Strikers at the Wellsville iron
works prevented non-union men from
entering the mills. Violence is
threatened if the managers attempt
to import men.

Alabama to take the place Of strikers
at the Latrobe. H., steel works were
sent back to their southern homes.
