Court of Inquiry.

Oa account of slanderous and
cowardly attack made up his charac-
ter as soldier and gentleman in
Maclays' History Of the Navy, Ad-
miral Schley has demanded court
of inquiry, which has been grsnted
by Secretary Long and Admiral
Dewey, and Rear Aamirals Kimberly
ard Benham have been named as the
Board
The grounds upon which Scbley is
criticised are:
First. Because Of his temporary
withdrawal before Santiago on &C.
count of the lack of coal.
Second. Because of his reconnols-
sance of the defenses and Spanish
ships in Santiago harbor.
Third. Because of the Brooklyn's
famous loop movement in the battle
of Santiago.
Scbley explains the charges made
as follow:
First. His temporary withdrawal
from Santiago was because of let
ter from Admiral Sampson, dated
Nav 20. 1898, in which ne said:
If ;be Spanish ships have pu'
into Santiago they must come Il"
either Havana or Cieofuego.. Ol'

Second. Having made recnnnols
sance to develop the eDemy's post
ton, and incidentally to irjnre or
destroy the Colon, moored well up in
the harbor, the presence Of the
enemy was determined and it was
decided not to risk a serious disable
ment until re-irforcements arrived.

Second Crop Of Irish Potatoes.

II one could get good stsnd of
potatoes between the 18th to the 30th
of August, there would be no doubt
as to an abundant yield, provided
there were showers in September.
Now and then one may secure
stand but planting the potatoes as
they are taken from the ground will
seldom give good results. The best
way is to take up your potatoes when
mature. Place them in cool, dark
place and spred thin and let them
dry about two weeke. II you wish
to plant one bushel, select two bush
els of the potatoes and bed them out
in good place. Cover with a layer
of leaves OF straw aud then put two
or three lnches or dlrt on them.
When they have been in the bed
about twenty days take off the dirt
and straw and pick oat the potatoes
that show signs of sprouting. In
that way you get good stand.
planting this fall crop the gror =.
should be brok:n deep and we'll Pul-
Veriz:d. The potatoes should not
be planted on a ridge, but in a deep
furrow below the surface. As they
grow work little dirt to them so
that the ground will be about level.
That plan will insure crop if the
rain comes.

In other States in which this subject has

this spirit in action that will bring relief
