THE scHLEY INQUIRY.
Damaging Evidence of Rear Admiral
CottOn-Death of Judge Wilson,
Schley,s Counsel.

/. Washington, Sept. 25.-Rear Ad-
miral Cotton, now commandant of the
Norfolk navy yard, who commanded
the auxiliary cruiser Harvard during
the Spanish war, was the most promi-
nent witness at the Sch1ey court of in
quiry "Wednesday. He told of meeting
the flying squadron under Commodore
Schley off Santiago on May ~, 1898,
and said that on that date he had de-
livered dispatches to the then commo-
dore from Admiral Sampson and the
navy department. He gave some dam
aging testimony against Schley, de-
claring latter had disobeyed orders of
navy department and had made no ef-
fort to locate Spanish feet.
Washington, Sept. rs. Jeremiah
Morrow Wilson, principal counsel for
Rear Admiral schley and one of the
leading lawyers of Washington, died
suddenly in his apartments in the
shoreham hotel shortly after II
o'clock Tuesday. Heart failure, SUI
perinduced by an attack of acute in
digestion, coupled with Bright's dis
ease, caused his death. Although
somewhat indisposed Monday night
and Tuesday morning, the end came
unexpectedly, as he was in conference
with his associate counsel in the
Schley case scarcely an hour before
he died. He leaves son, Charles S.
Wilson, who has been associated with
him in the law, and daughter, Mrs.
William Haywood, of this city.
The death of Judge Wilson brought
the Schley inquiry to sudden ter
mination for the day 10 minutes after
converting Tuesday morning. The an
nouncement was made to the court
by Hon. Isidor Rayner, assistant
counsel.
Judge Wilson was a native of Ohio and
was 70 years old. Early in life he removed
to Indiana, where he served with distinc-
ton on the common pleas and circuit court
benches. He represented an Indiana dis
trict in the Forty-second and Forty third
congresses, ser1tng as chairman respective
ly of the house committees on judiciary and
the District of Columbia. After his re-
tirement from congress he formed part
nership with an associate in congress,
Judge Shellabarger, and the firm soon took
rank at the very front of the Washington
bar Among the Well-known cases in
which Mr.. Wilson was counsel were the
star route trials, the Holt will case, the
Breckenridge Pollard breach of promise
case. the trial of Capt. Howgate for en-
bezzlement, the court-martial proceedings
against Gen. Swain, the Oberlin Carter
case and the Venezuela, Alabama, French
spoliation and La Abra Mexican claims
cases.
Washington, Sept. 25.-In an.
s"er to question from the
press, Admiral Schley Wednesday
stated that since the death of Judge
Wilson, Attorney General Isador Raw.
ner would be the leading counsel il
his case and that he would be as.
sisted by Capt. James Parker, of New
Jersey, and by Mr.. M. A. league, OF
baltimore, as an expert assistant
Mr.. Rayner will continue to conduct
the cross-examination of witnesses
as he has been doing and the other
gentlemen will continue in the same
capacity they occupied up to the time
of Judge Wilson's death.

The death of President Mckinley
should serve as reminder to writer's
and takers to make q sharp dis
tinction between the presidency and
the occupant of the presidential
chair. Criticism of the president
should always be respectful of the
office and mindful that whateyer the
presidents personal character the
fact that he is the chosen head Of
the nation entities him to consid erate
treatment. OF course, it IS hardly
conceivable that an utt erly unworthy
man might he elected resident, and
it is far from pro bable.

Washington, Sept. 23.-It is au-
thoritatively stated here that the late
president left an estate valued at
about 100000. This is inclusive of
