THE SCHLEY COURT or INQUIRY.
Receipt OF Schlcy's Letter to Secretary
Long Acknowledged nt Last by tho
Navy DepRrtment-No Explanation
OF tho Delay Vouchsafed.

Washington, July 3l.-It was an
nounccd ut the navy department today
that the lcttor from Rear Admiral
Schloy, acknowledging the receipt Of
the prcccpt to tho Court OF Inquiry,
and making certain suggestions with
reference thereto, had at last been re-
ccived. No explanation OF tho delay
in its arrival aud no statement OF it's
contents were furnished. Judge Ad-
vocatc I.cmly simply announced that
the letter hud arrived anu would re-
c2iyc consideration. He declined to
answer all Undergraduates, basing his
refusal upon the order of the secretary
prohibiting officers from discussing the
case. Capt. Lemly departs on his an
nual leave on Saturday, and the suppo-
sition is that Rear Admiral Schlcy's
letter will be considered before that
time, and that whatever action is to bc
taken on the Admin lis representations
will be taken at once.
Capt. James Parker. the cx-naval
officer. who is acting as Admiral
SchlCy's assistant counsel, continued
his examination today Of the logs of
the ships engaged in the Santiago
campaign, and other official records
pertaining thereto. He occupied Sec
retary Longs Office adjoining the bu-
rcau Of navigation, and by direction OF
Admiral Crowinshicld, chief Of that
bureau, who Is now acting secretary OF
the navy, newspaper men and others
were not permitted to communicate
with him. One Of the officers OF the
bureau remained constantly in the
room to see that the official records
were no. tamrcrcd with.
Admiral Schlcy's letter to tho dc.
pArtmcnt, together with the reply
thereto, as soon rs the letter is pgspar-
cd, sill be made public.

Growing Old.

Softly, oh, softly the years have swept
by thee,
Touching thee lightly with tendcrcst
care;
Sorrow and death they have often brought
nigh thee,
Vet they have left thee but beauty TO
mar.
Growing old gracefully,
Gracefully fair.
Far from the storms that are lashing the
ocean,
Nearer each day TO Tie pleasant home
light,
Far from the waves that are big with
conmotion,
Under full sail, and the harbor i'll sight.
Growing old gracefully,
Cheerful and bright.
Past all the winds that were adverse and
chilling,
Past all the islands that lured thee to
rest,
Past all the currents that lured thee M
willing
Far from thy course to the land of the
blest.
Growing old gracefully,
Peaceful and blcst.
Never feeling Of envy or sorrow
When the bright faces of children are
seen,
Never q year from the young woullst
thou borrow
Thou dost remember what lictl be-
tween.
Growing old willingly,
Thankful, serene.
Rich in experience that argcls might
Covet,
Rich III faith that hath grown with
the years,
Rich i'll a love that grew from and about
it,
Soothing thy sorrows and hushing thy
fears.
Growing old wealthily,
Loving and dear.
Hearts at the sound Of thy coming are
lightened,
Ready and willing thy hand to relieve,
Many a face at thy kind word has bright
ened,
'It is more blessed to give than re-
ceve."
Growing old happily,
Ceasing to gricve.
Eyes that grow dim to earth and its glory,
Have sweet recompense youth can
not know,
Ears that grow dull to earth and its story,
Drink i'll the songs that from Paradise
flow.

Purer than snow.

UTTER HELD IN THE RICnLAND JAIL.
While l!la Friends sre Trying to Raise tho
Bond-Detcctive Baldwin Cots Hero.
Tho State, 1st. |

G. b. Utter was brought to this city
yesterday at / O'Clock Il. m. Detective
Baldwin turned him over to Sheriff
Coleman who consigned him to the
county jail where he is still stopping.
Magistrate Moorman gave the prs
oncr u preliminary yesterday afternoon
and bound him over in $500, 800 for
each warrant.
The two warrants were sworn out by
Mr. Mycr.and Mr.. Sligh, Of Ncwbcrry,
On whom Utter tried his strength in
Ihc nOw notorious "Sylvan plate glass
Saturday night ARRAY"
These warrants charged "Riot, and
assault and battery with intent to
KILL"
Tho prisoner was captured at Chilli
cothc, Ohio, where he claims to have
gone to accept Il position in the ma
cuinc shops Of the Baltimore aud Ohio
railway, at that place.
Previous to his difficulty here CttCr
had held Il position with the Southcrn
RAILWAY in the shops at Spencer, North
Carolina. When the strike WAS de-
clarcd he struck with the other union
mcn and then came TO this city. So
while rot II Columbia striker he was
n striker nevertheless and from the
Southern railway shops.
The Southern officials have spared
no pains to locate and capture Utter,
and his case will be prosecuted at the
next term Of court aIopg with the other
strikers WHO are untlcr bond.
Detective Btidwin who is Il typical
NrGinian and IL man OF most pleasing
address, spent yesterday in the city
in company with Sheriff Coleman. ON
the way down it was desired that he
go into the Pullman car with his man
to prevent rescue by strikers. He
declined all these warnings. He had
brought his brother along as Il special
guard and they came in the day coach
with Utter. No one gave them any
trouble.
While here Mr.. Baldwin called upon
| the governor. Although the governor
had issued no rrpuiSition for Utter,
locking at the matter from ~ purely
| business stand Hoint and in the light Gl
the amount 1t wCuld have cost the
state had hc done so, he ordered that
the usual per diem and mileage paid
agents Of the State in such eases hc
paid Detective Baldwin. The detective
declined to take mileage covering tho
roads over which he used personal
passes.
The State did no. pay the assistant
brought by tho detective, however, as
this is not dOno even in cases OF reoui-
sitions.
Detective baldwin returned last
evening TO Virginia.
Utter seems to have difficulty in Sc
curing bond. Up to last evening he
had not been able to do SO. This is
probably due to the fact that he il a
stranger in Columbia, and due to the
further fact that he went away from
the State Immediately after the oircnscs
with which he is charged were COM
mittcd, though as before stated he
wished to stay hero and answer to any
charges that might lie preferred.
