Spain were swept from the face of her ancient possessions.
 Well done: I congratulate you on the victory, was the streamer that bent from the halyard of the Brook lyn, and from that day to this no man has ever heard from Admiral Schley the slightest whisper or intimation that he usurped the glory of that imperish- able hour.
 The thunders of the Brooklyn as she trembled on the waves have been dis cordant music to the ears of envious foes, but they pierced with ringing melody the ears of the admiraTs coun- trymen and struck responsive chord at the fireside of every American home. And what is more than all which has been revealed in this case. matchless as is his courage, and as unsullied as is his honor. are his beautiful charac- ter and the generous heart that ami mates his soul and the forgiving heart that beats within his bosom. Yes, we cannot strike him down. Erect he stands as McGregor. when he step ped on his native heather and his eye on the peak Ben Lomond. His country does not want to strike him down nor cast blur on his pure escutcheon and his honored name.
 For three long years he suffered. Now. thank God, the hour of his vim dication has come. With composure. with resignation, with supreme unfal- tering fortitude he awaits the judg- ment from this illustrious tribunal. When that deliverance comes he can. from the high, exalted position he oc- cupies. look down upon his traducers and maligners and with exultant pride eXclaim: ''I care not for the venomous gossip of the clubs and drawing rooms. and oliqueS and cabals and the poi soned shafts of envy and malice. l await, under the guidance of Divine Providence, the verdict of posterity.'
 MT. Rayner's argument consumed the whole of the day. except twenty
 five minutes occupied by Captain Parker this morning. He took up the specifications one by one, reserving those relating to the retrograde move ment. until the last. So far as he was able to do so, he used the testimony of the departments witnesses to prove his contentious. With regard to the retrograde movement, which he dis cussed with greater seriousness than any of the other specifications, he ad- duced them in justification of not only all Schley's reasons for believing the Spanish fleet was not at Santiago, but argued that every officer taxed with the responsibility or command, neceS- sarily must be clothed with discretion in carrying out his instructions.
 He displayed good temper in advert ing to the testimony of most of the officers, and especially the ranking of ficers who seemed to contradict his case, giving them in each case credit for honesty of purpose. But with q few he dealt unsparingly. Wood. Potts and Bristol he help up to ridicuIe.
 Captain Lemly will begin the clos ing argument tomorrow afternoon. as the court will net hold session to- morro wmorning.

ENGLISH GOOD FEELING
Over the Overthrow of Tammany on
 Tuesday.

London, Nov. 6.-The most vindica- tive opponents Of Tammany Hall. even in the thick of the campaign could not have painted that organization in blaclzer colors than do the editorial writers in the newspapers here today in congratulating New York on the result of the election.
 'The success of Seth Low is an event for which every friend of America and every lover of virtue and honesty any where has good reason to raise paeans of congratulations" says the St. James Gazette: adding. ''it is the greatest blow yet struck at the most nefarious system of organized triumphant will lainy ever foisted upon q civilized com munity by a gang of corrupt black mailers. But the terrific power of such an organization can only be finally crushed by counter organization, and one equally far-reaching."

READY TO DO BUSINESS
The Panama Company Makes an Offer
 to the Government.

Washington, Nov. 6.-President Hu- tin, of the Panama Canal company. finally has submitted to Admiral Walker. the head of the Isithmian Canal Commission, q proposition on behalf of his company for the acqui- sition of all it's rights by the United States government. The Panama com pany has been restrained up to this moment from submitting direct prop osition, owing to a clause in the con cession which it holds from the govern ment of Colombia. which prescribes the forfeiture of the concession as a pen atty for making an effort by the com pany to transfer it's rights to another government.
 The companys agents there have been obliged to act with extreme eau tion in making overtures, but in some way the Colombian government has been induced to wink at this technical violation of the concession. It's terms are not yet disclosed, ana it is prob able that they will not be until the Isthmian Canal commission publishes it's report. It is understood, however. that they are considerably more fla vorable to this government than were the figures made to the president three years ago.

THE GREAT LENGTH
To Which Rivalry Among Sportsmen
 May Go

Readers of the sporting columns of The Republican must have observed that for some time, or, to be more ex- plicit. since the open season for quail. a rivalry has been going on between Dr. Walker and County Treasurer Walker, both expert wing shots.
 Nobody would have imagined that what ought to have been a friendly and good natured contest should so nearly end in a tragedy as did the event Of yesterday afternoon. County Treas urer Walker had resorted before 70 questionable methods in order to attain supremacy. such as matching quail in an incubator and carrying them in T valise to the place of slaughter, where he killed them in secret and imposed them upon his rival the product of his craftsmanship.
 The hunting party yesterday was made up of the county treasurer. Dr. Walker and Vernon L. Clark. They went about seven miles Gown the river and had very good shooting until along in the afternoon, when Dr. Walker was few birds ahead. At length J. F.. Walker said to him: We don't want to stay in the same place and shoot. ou go over there" pointing to a tree iit botNOi HIS IlNdi MdHltu ID be alone so that he could work the oli valise and incubator quail trick. The doctor took a station near the tree. Al most immediately he heard the report of gun and felt stinging sensation in the right side of hrs face
 The Rev. Dr. E. A. Penick. speaking last night of the attempt on the life of Dr. Walker, said that he heard County Treasurer Walker say yester- day morning concerning the pro jected shoot that he would fix Dr. Walker today" It didn't occur to Dr. Penick then that MT Walker was meditating assas5ina- tion. but that he meant by fix that he was going to bring in more birds than Dr. Walker. pr. Penick, of course. thought of the valise trick, but never dreamed of the shedding of human blood or he would have warned the county treasurer's intended victim.
 When the party got back to town last night the grand jury had ad- journed, so that nothing could be done about it. Dr. Walker had four shot in his face. two near the nose and two high up on the jaw. He was glad there were not sixteen, the county treasurer's magic sumber. The shot were extract ed by Dr. Duffield and Dr. Craig The bill for surgical services will be pre- sented to the county treasurer. and ': he pays it there. will probably be na more said.

REPUBLICAN GAINS.
But Not Quite Enough to Defeat
 German.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 6.-Returns re- ceived in this city up to midnight, in cluding every county in the state. part ly official and partly estimated, indi- cate the result in a legislative contest which is almost without parallel in Maryland. The most careful estimates and calculations give the democrats fOrty-siX delegates and sever newly elected senators. which. combined with the ten who hold over in the senate assures the frieds of German of a total O. sixty-three on a joint ballot.
 The republicans, it appears, elected forty nine delegates and six senator's which, added to their three hold-over senators, gives them a total of fifty eight a joint ballot. These figures indicate that the republicans will be able to organize the house delegates.

TONGUE-TIED HOBO
Played Confidence Game on Recorder
 Jobs Yesterday.

It isn't often that Recorder Jobs gets caught by a confidence game, but it does happen sometimes, and yesterday was one of the times. Three prisoners were brought before him on the charge of being hobos, or vagrants. Two of them were just ordinary vags that were not bright enough to put uo a defense, or else had learned from eX- perience that pleading guilty was the cheapest way out
 But the third man made talk for himself. Rather, he impressed the court with the idea that he would talk if he could. then illustrated that he was the most accomplished stutterer that ever stuttered a stunt in a court room. He managed to get out the informa- ton that he was a cripple, which, by the way, was one point on which the court was convinced, for he could see that much. Then he Indicated that ha was very anxious to go to Prescott, where prosperity awaited him. But he had such hard time to coax language out of his mouth that the recorders stony heart was melted and he told the man to wait till today for the fur ther trial of his case as he was so over come he desired to cog1tate upcn the evidence already before him. Besides. he wanted to go home before the eiec- tric cars stopped running. He inti- mated that if the accused could get out on the road toward Prescott caru this morning it would be all right, but if he decided to stay in town he could come in and he would finish the trial, but in that event he should come early so it would only take one day.
 After the defendant left the court room. he began talking like an auc- tioneer.

property. There were some fifty men
and fifteen horses entombed. but one
miraculous escape was made, however,
by John Anderson. who was working
near the mouth OF the level. When he
realized that the mine was on hre he had
some difficulty reaching the main lead,
and by throwing heavy overcoat over
his head and shoulders he pushed his
way through the flames and reached the
main lead, completely exhausted and
terribly burned. but will recover. He
was taken out by friends.
All efforts to succor those farther back
have so far failed as the fierce flames
drive the rescuers back. That all have
psrished is without question.
The scenes around the mou.h Of the
mine were hear,rendins; mo,hers. wives
and sweethearts weeping and tearing
their hair in terrible agony. and all ef-
forts to calm them proved Of NO avail.
The loss of property will reach an
enormous figure and as the officials are
very re,icen, the amount and the names
of those imprisoned are unobtainable at
a late hour.
