are so much alike that the fruits of the

We have very little to say on the
fine points of earllness of the varieties
that are credited with that propensity.
We have about come to the conclusion
that these comparative distinctions in
the time of ripening amount to but
very little. In our experience, with the
exception of Honor Bright and Trophy,
which are late. this and last season
there is very little difference in all the
host. This season Stone was the first
to ripen, and very large perfect fruits
were gathered.
In regard to method of cultivation
and training we shall still hold to ii
that for the home garden and for ex-
hibitlon purposes the best system to
follow is single stem trained to n

THAT FAMOUS "LOOP."
Evidence Regarding the Brooklyn's
Turn in the Battle of SANTIAGO.

Washington, Sept. ,23.-Of the four
examined today in the
Schley court of inquiry three had been
officers of the Texas in the battle of
Santiago. The testimony several
times during the day was somewhat
exciting, and it was especially So
when Commander Heilner described
the battle and the part the Texas had
taken in it. He said that when the
Brooklyn made it's loop at the begin
ming of the battle it had passed
across the Texas bow at a distance
not to exceed 100 or $50 yards and
compelled the latter vessel to come to
q dead stop. He declared it was the
most dangerous position the vessel
was in during the battle. His evi.
dence was in conflict with the Official
chart showing, the. positions of the
ships in the fight. LIS --,'> = ~

ness in the SchIey Case.
Washington, Sept 21.-Only one
new witness was introduced during
the day to the naval court which is
investigating the conduct of Admiral
Schley during the Spanish-American
war. This witness was Commander
Seaton Schroeder, who was executive
officer of the battleship Massachusetts
during the war and is. now governor
of the island of Guam.
His testimony dealt with the cruise
Of the flying squadron" from Glen
fuegos to Santiago and the lombard
ment of the Spanish ship Cristobal
Colon as she lay in the mouth of the
harbor at Santiago on May 81.
The commander said the cruise was
not as expeditions as it should have
been. He also said that in the bonn
bardment of the Colon the fleet had
not acted as deliberately as the COM
mander-in-chief had announced it to
be his purpose to have it act.

Testimony Taken Is Not Favorable to
the Admiral-Ihe sombardment Of
the Colon and the Possibility Of
coa'ins on the High Seas Gone Over:
Question :ut by the Court Itself Is
Afterwards Withdrawn. -.

Washington, Sept. 20.-The Schley
court of inquiry reconvened during
the day and before adjournment han
examined four witnesses. The most
important incident of the day was the
decision of the court withdrawing a
question put by the court itself ask
ing witness to give his opinion con-
corning a point under controversy
The witness was Rear Admiral Hig-
ginson, who participated in the San:
tlaso campaign as captain Of the bat
tleship Massachusetts,.
Admiral Higginson told of joining
the flying squadron with. his battle
ship, the Massachusetts, at Newport
News, OF going to Key West, and then
on the 22d Of May, OF going to Glen
fuegos, Cuba. Key West had been left
on May 10, 1898, and Cienfuegos
reached on the 22d. When asked what
was, done to secure communication
with the Cuban forces on shore he re-
Piled to hF knowledge that nothing
was done. In regard to the coaling
incident he said he did not regard it
impossible to coal then, though it
might have been difficult.
When Santiago was again reached,
Admiral Higginson said, they saw the
Spanish ship Colon lying in the outer
harbor. The vessel had lain there IN
I'll she was fred on, which was done
May 81, when she retired. In describ-
ing the engagement he said the shots.
g nrf Of
Spanish shore batteries had in turn
fired at the bombarding ships. The
admiral said he thought the Colon
could have been destroyed where she
lay at anchor, but they were not or
dered to do so. 8
Questions by the Court.
The court asked the witness if there
was any place Of shelter near San
tlago where the squadron could have
coaled. Admiral Higginson replied
that Guantanamo was only 40 miles
to the east.
The next question of the court Gre
ated something of a sensation, The
witness was asked~if every effort was
made by Admiral Schley to capture
or destroy the Colon as she lay at
anchor in Santiago harbor between
May ~ and 81. Each of Schley's
counsel objected, but before a halt
could be called the witness replied,
mo, I don't think there was.' The
question was afterwards withdrawn
by the court. Admiral Higginson was
then excused. -. :"
Captain Chester's testimony related
to coaling off the coast of Cuba. and
occupied but a few minutes. He be-
lieved it could be done, but under
great disadvantages.
Major Wood testified regarding the
attack on the Colon on May 81 and
said Admiral Schley ordered the: bonn
bardment to cease when fire from the
land batteries became rather hot.
Captain Harder gave a detailed &C.
count of the Texas movement with
the flying squadron He was .ques-
toned as to orders concerning plans
of battle, but he said that he: had
heard of no plans in case the enemy
should be engaged. In reply to a
question he said he believed coaling
could have been accomplished off San
tiago.
