Schley has been deprived OF his rights
as guaranteed to hin: by the law OF the
land and the Constitution OF his coGn-
try. We claim that The wioie of the
evidence IN favor of the Admiral, incfud-
ing his own and the testimony OF all OF
his witnesses. has been rejected by the
ma jorty of the court and rot even con-
sdered or passed Upon. Such Il method
of procedure would not be permitted: to
stand for q 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 nor
a solemn assertion that he made under
the sanction of his oath, has been adj
verified to by the majority OF the court
Such a method of tlisposing of a case
is unparalleled in the annals of civil or
of criminal law. The greatest lualefactor
in the land under the Constitution IS
entitled to have his evidence considered
and passed upon. We SHALL therefore,
avail ourselves of every remedy that we
have to impeach this appalling verdict
In regard to the application to be heard
in reply to Admiral Sampson, Secretary
Long informed Admiral Schleys counsel
that it was not the practice OF the De-
partment to have oral hearings in mat
tiers of this kind. He intimated that hs
would entertain Il written argument.

REPAIRING soNoMA's INJURIES.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 5.-The
Oceanic Companys steamer Sonoma
which was to have undergone extern
siVe repairs to her engines while in
port, will sail on the Sydney route on
June goth, and necessary repairs will
be made in the meantime by Chief En-
gineer Little and his assistants. On ac-
count of the machinists' strike it is
impossible to overhaul the machinery
as thoroughly as was at first contem-
plated. AS was demonstrated on the
return trip from Sydney, the Sonoma
is able to make good time despite the
breakage that occurred on the last trip,
and upon arrival at Sydney again, if it
should be considered advisable, more
complete repairs will be made there.
Yesterday morning ten marine engin-
GERS who had been engaged to assist in
making the repairs were expected to
report for duty, but only five appeared
and they were called out by their or
ganizatiOn at noon on account of sym
pathy for the striking machinists.
