THE SAMPSON TESTIMONY.
Admiral Schley's Counsel May OBJ
ject to an Affidavit.
Thought Likely That the Court OF
Enquiry VIII Proceed 70 Burke
Haven, \. H., to secure Evidence
Eligibility of Admiral HoVyisou.

Enquiry VIII Proceed TO Burke
Haven, \. II, to secure Evidence.
Eligibility of Admiral HoVvison.
Although the new gunners workshop at
the Navy Yard has been selected as the
place Tor holding the sittings OF the
Schley Court OF Enquiry, Il is now
thought probable that not all Of the ses-
sions viii be held there. There is good
reason for believing that the Court may
decide 70 80 to Burke Haven. y. Il, OF
wherever Rear Admiral Sampson mag
be, 20 take his testimony in case ne -
unable TO come TO Washingtoa
The Indications are that ne viii not
come here. II is reported that his condI-
tion is very feeble and his friends desire
that he should remain away.
1t is admitted mat Admiral Sampson
has not been summoned 20 appear before
the Court. although his name heads the
list Of witnesses prepared BY the Judge
Advocate This. however, applies 20 the
other officers who are within easy reach.
I Only those who are some distance away
have been ordered here. but even they
have not been directed 10 appear before
the CouTr Of Enquiry. They VIII receive
instructions 70 do so upon reaching
I Washington.
II is thought that there is little liheii-
hood OF sufficient Improvement IN Admiral
Samps0n's condition TO enable him 70 take
the witness stand here
Admiral Schley's counsel viii not submit
10 the filing Of a deposition by Sampson,
is argued that II d rule were adopted per
mirting one witness to submit an affidavit
there would be no way Of compelling any
witnesses 70 appear in person at the hear
ing, and the whole investigat might be
submitted to the Court in the form OF
afhdavits-
What Admiral Schley wants and what
his counsel viii insist upon. IL Is said, is
a thorough investigation, and 70 this end
( the testimony Of Admiral Sampson IS es-
sentiaI
There is little doubt but that Admiral
Schley's counsel viii make objection 20
Admiral HOWisOn when the Court meets
and set forth their reasons therefor
This, 1t IS claimed, viii result in Ad-
miraI H0wisou being relieved from serv-
Ing on the Court. and a delay viii thus
be Occasioned while the Navy Depart
menI MAKES an euort 10 select SOr1e one
from the list Of rear admirals 10 III his
place. II is said that this viii be no
easy task, as there are few men out OF
the fOrtv officers Of this class who have
not preJudged the case. one way OF the
other.
Il IS said that counsel for Schley have
not only the affidavit Of the writer OF the
( "BostOn Record interview, but several
others showing that Howis0n expressed
bias in favor OF Sampson
Admiral Howison's letter is construed
as placing the responsibility for his re-
naming a member OF the Court upon the
/ Navy Department
Al case he is relieved the Court viii ad-
( jourH until a successor is appointed and
accepted Then If Admiral Sampson is
not here II is probable that SchIey's coua-
| sci may ask that the Court eoavene. at i
place where he VIII be able to attend.

There have been many deliveries of
goods here during the rast week. Buy
ing is still going on and at Wolcott and
other outl' ing points there is much be-
ing done Prices remain about as earlier
in the season. At warehouses there is'
hustling and large numbers of men and
women are given employment. Louis
Erdt, of the firm of c.. Erdt, of New
York, broke the record Tuesday in re-
ceiving tobacco. Eighty-seven crops
were received at the Lackawanna freight
house ia Fulton, weighed gross and tareT

ped to his warehouses in Baldwfrsville'
between noon Tuesday and one O'Clock
Wednesday morning. The tobacco was
in bundles and about 125 teams we're
used to deliver it. Considering that
this tobacco was weighed in the middle
of the street on pair of hay scales, with
no time for refreshments, Mr.. Erdt con-
siders this fair days work Those who
are acquainted with Mr. Erdts capacity
for hustling, however, are confident he
could beat this record if occasion de-
manded.- d.-Gazette.

New YORK, Jan. 19, 1901.


The market the past week was in
rather respondent condition. Instead
of the briskness, which was generally ex
pected, and with good cause, a panicky
feeling seems to have set in, paralyzing
business. The cause of this strange oc
currence is ascribed to the fact OF the
American Tobacco Company's having
gone into the cigar business by acquiring
the great cigar factory of Messrs. Powell,
Smith & Co. and organizing a new ten
million dollar company for tho manu-
featuring and sale of cigars And the
panicky feeling is still more aggravated
bv the rumors that are being carried
about from office to office that the
American Tobacco Company is about to-,
absorb in it's new company two or three
more of the larger factories in the city,
Manufacturers are therefore nervously'
uneasy to know where they are at; that,
is. to know what kind of competition
they will have to meet in the new Ameri-
can Cigar Company, whether prices will
be cut, goods slaughtered. etc, in order
to extend trade. The apprehension of
meeting probably unconquerable com.
petition makes them natutally shy to In
vest spe culatively in larger stocks of raw
material than they absolutely need for
immediate orders. This nervous re-
straint on the part Of the manufacturers
cannot but reflect inluriously on pc
leaf market, which seems to have been
seized with panicky spell of it's own iq
it's apprehension of meeting the buyers
of the new crmpany in the tobacco tieidst

their wants are not easily satisfied, and
there is but little left of this class of
goods except that furnished by the Big
Flats.

spasms of activity, but, generally speak
ing, it is very quiet. The large with

Gates that manufacturers are buying
from hand to mouth and that their
stocks are running low. A change for
the better, therefore, is expected at any
time.
Havana.-Havana tobacco continues
to be the chief feature of the market.
The demand is strong and we'll dis

actions are of good proportions. One

LODI, WIS, Jan. Is, 1901.

A few deliveries of The 90 crop have
been made here, the buyer or his agent
in each case giving the weed careful
scrutiny before receiving it. With
scarcely an exception every crop deliv-
cred has been "docked" on account of
pole rot, and there has been great
amount of dissatisfaction on the part of
growers. It is only fair to state, how
ever, that tobacco has been placed in the
bundle which the grower knew only too
we'll would not be accepted by the buyer
if discovered; and it is we'll known that
buyers are not prone to accept crop of
tobacco on the owners word
Many crops in this vicinity are still
unsold, number being reported which
as yet have not been looked at by a pros
pective buyer.-Enterprise

A little picking away at the new crop
is being done ia this section and a trihe
more activity is noticea BILE in the north

This week the weather has been too
cold for much riding and the tobacco is
too dry for examination. Prices range

fined to the sale Of small lots.
Deliveries have been liberal at the
warehouses this week and the asserting

over damaged goods occurs each day,
but an amicabe settlement is generally
reached.--Farm and Home
