SCHLEY PROTESTS.
Files Exceptions to the Find
ings Of the Court of
Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Late
this afternoon Secretary Long was
handed the bill of exceptions pre-
pared by Mr.. Isidor Rayner,
counsel for Rear Admiral Win
field 5. Schley, in which objec-
tons are made to certain findings
i'll the recent report from the
Court of Inquiry. The brief was
taken under advisement by the
Secretary, who will probably
reach some conclusion on the
whole question involved before
the close of the week.
With the brief was letter
from Admiral Schley asking that
if Admiral William T. Sampson,
as reported, had filed objections
to that portion of Admiral
Dewey's minority opinion con
corning the question OF command,
Mr.. Rayner be allowed to present
oral argument against the admis-
sion of the protest.
While Secretary Long has
made no ruling on the advisable
ity of permitting oral arguments
by either counsel for Admiral
Sampson or Admiral Schley, he
will probably deny such requests.
The Secretary will hold that oral
arguments are not admissible and
that he intends closing the case
with every possible expedition,
and apprehends that if counsel
for both sides were allowed to
present arguments decision on
the Court't report might be pro
longed indefinitely.
While counsel for Admiral
Schley had until tomorrow to lay
their arguments before the Navy
Department, Mr.. Rayner com
pleted the case this morning,
after short conference with
Capt. James S. Parker and Adj
miral Schley, and at 3 o'clock this
afternoon the brief was presented
to Secretary Long. Admiral
SIMPSONS counsel are expected
to file their statement tomorrow,
in which objection is to be raised
against Admiral Dewey's declar-
alton that Admiral Schley was IN
command at the time of the battle
of Santiago.
Commenting on today's action,
Mr.. Rayner said:
1.-The objections that we have
filed rest upon the ground that
Admiral Schley has been de.
prived of his rights as guaranteed
to him by the law of the land and
the Constitution of this country.
We claim that the whole of the
evidence in favor of the Admiral,
including his own and the testi.
mony of all his witnesses, has
been rejected by the majority of
the court and not even considered
or passed upon.
"Such method of procedure
could not be permitted to stand
for moment before any tribunal
governed by any principle of
common law or common Justice.
The Admiral was on the stand
for about four days and not
word that he uttered and not
solemn assertion that he made
under the sanction of his oath
has been adverted to by the ma.
jority of the court.
"Such method of disposing of
case is unparalleled in the an
nails of civil or criminal law. The
greatest malefactOr in the land,
under the Constitution, is en-.
titled to have his evidence con.
sidered and passed upon.
"We shall, therefore, avail our
selves of every remedy that we
have to impeach this appalling

modore Schley caused her to lose
distance and position with the
Spanish vessels-especially with
the Vizcaya and Colon.
The turn of the Brooklyn to the
star board was made to avoid
getting her into dangerous proxi-

turn was made toward the Texas,
and caused that vessels to stop
and to back her engines to avoid
possible collision.

healthy, jolly creatures, ready for any fun
that offers, yet willing to do their best for
their teachers, who treat the girls as
though they were rational, reasoning be-

who must be watched from morning till
night lest they disgrace themselves and
those who have them in charge.
All through this charming book there is
plenty OF the fun that is the result of
happy, healthy girlhood. There is com
zeal Gaps and Capers Club" with its Sc

on the subject that California ought
TO have intelligence and public spirit

suggestion is pertinent. but the ma

but Massachusetts has larger perma

INTELLIGENCE OF FISHES.

man.

fisherman, according to the New York

the same instant, and they might
both dart for 1t at once ard come
violently INTO collision while their
prey escaped. Now that would be
when they had each the same chance
of capturing what they wanted: they
would both make a dash for 1t. Brit
often I have seen something very
different happen. OF two larger fishes
following along side by side and
pretty well closed up together pnr-,
suing a minnow, I have seen the
rearmost sheer off and let the other
fellow have IT; apparently. either be-
cause he knew he couldn't reach 1t,
and there was no use OF his trying
any more, or because he knew that

make the fish ahead lose the game,
