 Kelly had lived in Leavenworth for years and at different times had engaged in minor business enterprises He was eccentric, and during the Presidential campaign in 1896 lost his mind entirely. At that time he was arrested for creating disturbance and later threatened to kill Garrett. He was arrested and adjudged insane Garrett and four others testified against him. After year in the Topeka asylum Kelly was released. He had been acting queerly again and had declared that he would kill the five men who sent him to the asylum. Daily for two weeks past he has been practicing shooting with a revolver at the Fort Leavenworth range. Last night he drank heavily. To- day shortly after 12 o'clock he appeared at Garrett's office and without warning shot Garrett as he sat at his desk Gar rett fell into the doorway and Kelly shot him four more times-in the left breast, through the liver and twice in other parts of the body. Kelly then ran to the rear of the company's lumber yard and began reloading his revolver Presently he returned and found Dr. McGee bending over Garrett. Kelly from outside the win dow shot Dr. Melee in the back, and he fell near Garrett. Then followed an excit- ing street fight between the madman and policemen. Kelly dashed through the lumber yard, met Ike Healer, a laborer. anu e1Ol llltl III tne ndlQ. A IeW wards farther he encountered Police Sergeant Dodge. The two exchanged shots as they ran. One bullet from Kelly's revolver struck Dodge in the neck, but not before the policeman had shot Kelly in tho shoulder.

coal to Key West by way of Yucatan channel. Cannot ascertain anything re- specting enemy positive" MT. Maclay writes. (page 29S):
 This humiliating dispatch forms a striking contrast to the pre-eminently American reply made by Col. James Mill Ter at the battle of Lundys Lane, when called upon to save the day by storming a certain battery. Millers superb reply was I'll try. sir He did try. and carried the day. Strangely enough Schley as named after Brigadier General Winfield Scott, who heroically supported Miller's charge and in no small degree contribut- ed to the glorious results of that day, July 25 1914. Schley on May 2S 1S9S sul- lied this brightest of American notices by penning:
 ' Much to be regretted; cannot obey orders and turned in caitiff flight from the danger spot, toward which duty, hon. or and the whole American people were most earnestly urging him. Viewed In whatever light 1t may be, the foregoing dispatch cannot be characterized other wise than as being without exception the most humiliatting, cowardly and la mentable report ever penned by an Amer ican naval officer.
 As to the famous loop of the Brook lyn, Mir. Maclay. after quoting the al- legged conversation between Schley and his navigator, says among otner thnss-

I think the time has now come to take such action as may bring this entire mat ter under discussion under the clearer and calmer review of my rother officers In arms, and to this end I ask such action at the hands of the department as 1t may deem best to accomplish this purpose.

 Very respectfully,

 Long's Reply. Secretary Long replied to Admiral Schley as follows:
 Navy Department,
 Washington, July 2 1901. "Sir-I am in receipt of yours of the 22d instant with reference to the criticisms upon you in connection with the Spanish American war, and heartily approve of your action under the circumstances in asking at the hands of this department such action as may ring this entire mat ter under discussion under the clearer and calmer review of my brother officers in arms

Secretary Long at the close of office hours today said that the personnel of the court would be made tomorrow, at which time the precept converting the the court probably would be issued. Meanwhile there Is much speculation as to the members of the court other than Admiral Dewey. The secretary himself says there Is no warrant for the an- nouncement of any particular name, as he still has the question under advise men. He has been making inquiries dur ing the day as to the availability of cer- tain officers and it is understood that some telegraphic inquiries have been made of those absent from the city to see if there is any reason why they should not serve.

WHAT MACLAY WROTE.
Objectionable Passages In His History
 of Santiago Fight.

New York, July 24.-The entire tone of Volume III. of Maclay's work is highly antagonistic to Admiral Schley. All of writer:
 Chapter 19, entitled ''Schleys Progress Toward Santiago" is one continuous criti- cism of Schley. The headings at the top of each page are, in part as follows: Lack of Enterprise "A Grand Oppor- tunity Lost" "A Micawber Admiral "An Action Out of Gunshot.'
 Referring to Schley's run to Santiago from Cienfugos, when the Eagle was un- able ito keep up to speed of 7.5 to S.t knots, owing to the rough weather and low coal supply, and thereby caused the entire squadron to slow down to a speed of four or five knots, MT. Maclay says
 Here we have another illustration of the lack of decision and enterprise which were so apparent in Schleys failure to promptly ascertain whether or not Ger vera's squadron was in Cfenfuegos When he knew that the naval and military oper- ations of the United States must be sus. pended until it was definitely known where Cervera's force was we have 1t ir the words of the commodore himself thaa he permitted his ships to slow to a speed of from four to five knots for no othef reason than to retain under his command the Eagle, converted yacht, vessel that in no way could have entered into the calculations of an able commander when operating against a squadron such as Cervera possessed
 ''In his (Schley's) report about the coal supply of the vessels under his con- mand,' the historian says further on, "Schley exhibited either a timidity amounting to absolute cowardice or a prevarication of facts that were intrin- sically falsehoods. The coal supply of his squadron, so far from being 'meagre, rs he reported. is shown by the respec- tive logs of those ships. as indicated at noon on May 27, to have been most sat- isfactory."
 In reference to Secretary Longs dis patch to Schley that it was the latter s duty to ascertain immediately if Cervera was at Santiago. and the rear admirars s reply: Much to be regretted. cannot obey orders of the department. Have striven earnestly; forced to proceed for

Officials Taking Aggressive Ac- ton Towards Breaking Up
 the Strike
WILL OPERATE THE PLANTS
Non-Union Men Will Be Carried to WeIIsville-President Shaffer Dis guised as Tramp Goes to WelIs-
 vile to Hold a Conference,

Pittsburg, Pa, July 2.-Two moves, it is reported, were made by the aggressive officials of the American Sheet Steel Com pany today toward the breaking up of the strike. One was the shipping of some of the non-union men who have been em- ployed in the Vandergrift mills of the company to Wellsville to assist in the starting of the plant there. The impress sion is strong tonight that the general officers of the United States Steel Corpo- ration have determined on an early break ing of the strike and ultimately forcing the operation of all the idle plants.
 The second move Is the starting of the Hyde Park plant of the American Sheet Steel Company whose long idleness has caused most of the men formerly em- ployed there to leave Hyde Park The company believes there would be less dif- ficulty in starting this plant than where the Amalgamated Association has con- trol.
 It was apparent in Pittsburg this after noon that fresh and decidedly important developments in the strike of the steel workers were about to take place.

 The question of the manufacturers se- curing injunctions against the AmaIga- mated Association was discussed guard edly during the day Assistant Secretary Lighe said he did not thing the measure would be resorted to at this stage of the proceedings, even if it was contemplated for later day. There was practically no | cause for such a measure and if thara was, he doubted if, under the conditions that exist at present. the courts would l grant such orders. Particularly is this the case in Pennsylvania In Ohio Presi- dent Shaffer seemed to feel confident that such inJunctions would be granted Those best acquainted with the feelings of tho manufacturers say there is in their opin- ion, little cause for believing that such measures will be resorted to at this time
 The seeming indifference of the combine people concerning its hoop plants that are idle may have it's explanation in the in- formation received today from authority not to be doubted to the effect that the American Steel Hoop Company intends to eventually abandon most of its plants and concentrate its business in the mills now building for the Carnegie Company al Duquesne. This new plant will be the largest hoop and tie mill in the world if present plans are carried out, and will be large enough to take care of all the business of the hoop combine single handed. It goes without saying that tho Duquesne plant will be operated on c strictly non-union basis

oil Struck at cordova.

A telegram from Cordova, Walker County, says that the Houghton oil Company struck oil near that place today at depth of 1.130 feet. The telegram adds: Very fine showing; great excite ment at Cordova." The company struck gas In its borings last week. The work of sinking this we'll was begun about i've eeks ago and ever since then indica- tons of oil had been repeatedly disCov- cred. Mrs. Houghton is the largest stockholder of the company. She came to Alabama some time ago with her hus- band, who is connected with the Re- public Iron and Steel Company at Thom- ss. Having lived in Pennsylvania most of her life and possessing considerable knowledge relative to oil development Mrs. Houghton was impressed with what she thought signs of petroleum in many sections of the State. She bought sev- eral acres of land in Walker County, or- ganized a company and proceeded at once to drill at Cordova wnere the prcs- poets seemed best. The wei at Cordova Is situated in a low. marshy place be- tween tWo small hills. No .nformit ton has been received as to the extent of the we'll or the probable value of the discov- cry. Mrs Hot ghton, however, hns given instructions for the boring to continue. which would indicate that she expects to find large flow of oil by going deeper. t-t
