NEW YORK, July 24.-Edgar S. MacIay,
who criticised Rear Admiral SchIey in a
history of the United States navy, said
| today:
1T is the proper course for Rear Adj
mi: al Schley to demand a court of In
curry. It is his only means of vindca-
ton. After this court has dcterrrin I'd
upon h1s case, then he can bring suit IL
is need ess for me to comment further
upon Rear Admiral Schley's record"
BOSTON, July 24.-Rear Admiral samp-
son said today:
II am glad to hear that Rear Admiral
schl+y has asked Secretary Long for an
inv stigation. hope if there is an inves-
tigation 1t will be a thorough one, AMI
tLat not a detail of anything that has
i been IN dispute will be avoided by tho
This Whole business is inspired bv
malice, but now, perhaps, it may be all
InNeS1lgated, and If 1t is, the people Of
the United States will know all thu
facts" '
MORE CENSUS FIGURES
The census bureau today gave out a
statement showing the condition of the
manufacturing industries of the states
OF Idaho, Nevada and Wyoming Idaho
showed gam of 1SS per cent over 1890
in the value of the product which was
4l2O,532 Wyoming's product was
$43G,240 a gain of 81 per cent over 1890
The manufacturing product of Nevada
was $l.64S,675. This is a slight improve
ment over the showing of 1890 The
prln aCad Manufactured product of 46aho
In 1900 was lumber. The principal item
in both Wyoming and Nevada is the
output of the railroad repair shops
referring to the showing made in Ne
vada Chief Statistician North, of the
census bureau. says:
"A comparison with the censuses of
1880 and 1890 shows general decrea Sc
in the manufacturing and mechanical in
dustries of the state between the years
1880 and 1890 and an increase between the
years 1880 and 1900 1t is probable, how
ever. that this increase during the last
decade Is only apparent and is due to a
closer canvass in this sparsely settled re-
gun III 1SUO Ulan IN 1870. This general
decline in manufactured products is a
direct result of the decrease in the popu-
lauon-a decrease which began about
1880, with the apparent exhaustion Of
some of the richer deposits of gold AMI
silver and has continued to the present
time"
