Awaiting the Verdict.

On IN, face Of things ii Is hard to see
how ANYBODY can fail to De mace SUI
premely happy by the coming Herdict
of m. Sch,ey court of inquiry which
has now heard all the evidence and is
considering it in secret session. both
Sides have expressed perfect confidence
IN the decision which will be reached
bv Admirals Dewey. Benham and Ram
say. and announce that they await the
result with the greatest assurance. The
,,,ntrv at large. as we'll as the I'M
mediate partisans. has every reason I"
expect a just verdict and to be ready
tn abide by the decision. The three
officers making up the court are in
every way qualified to deal with ire
case which has aroused 50 much inter
est and excited such feeling. They
are experts. conceded by all to be i'm
rartial ana not to he influenced by
rhetoric. as is too often the case when
man is tried by l. of his peers.
The court was convened at the re-
quest of Admiral Schley and in no
sense is the case to be regarded as
ment on the government. The question
of Admiral Schleys courage is not in
volved. as was shown by the order
conyening the court and by the explicit
declaration of the judge advocate at
the conclusion of the hearing. The two
main points of complaint against him
are disobedience of orders and un-
steadineSs of purpose. If the court
finds that he unnecessarily delayed his
d.parfur. from CienfuegOS for
Santiago after he had been officially in
formed of the presence of tervera
fleet at Santiago and if, in starting
back from Santiago for Key West,
thus abandoning the blockade Of that
harbor at Il time when the Spanish ticet
was inside and allowing it opportunity
to escape. he failed in any way in the
full measure OF his duty. the essence uf
rhe. charges against him will be sus-
tain4i. If ~ acted with good judg-
nert in what he did. and was not in
any wise hlamahe. the court will un-
questionahlN return II verdict accord
mgly.
1t i an intricate ease and there is
nrt a littl. conflicting evidence in thr
.pun pages Of testimony which the
rorrt is now examining behind closed
doors. The real case turns on thc
raunrr IN Which Admiral Schley carried
out the orders of the department ami
~ his superior officers while H.. WAS in
command of the flying squadron and
in the operations OF thu squadron in
maint5 ming the bloc ha,.v< at
cienfuegos ana Santiago Certainty
there has been II" complaint that hn
has not been most fairly treated at the
bearing. Every request as TO witness
and everything else was prnmtly
granted. The summing up by the judge
advocate was without prejudice, and 50

IPoN MINING IN NEW JERSEY.
Results of the State Biologists In
EesfiGatTons.

NEW YORK, May 22-The revival Of
the iron industry in New Jersey presents
some interesting facts The Investigations
of the State Geological Department show
that the total amount of iron produced for
the year 1850 was 1886 tons, an increase
OF 100. 600 tons over the year 1889. Looking
backward, the Assistant State Geologist
finds that in 1893, five years after the be-
ginning of iron mining in New Jersey, the
product of the State was 1000 tons The
turning point ii the iron industry there
was reached in 1856. when It is estimated
that 10000 tons were mined. That was
considered a large output for a small
State.
After 1855 there was a steady increase
until 1873. when Go5. 900 tons were mined,
and the iron mines of New Jersey became
the nucleus of speedily acquired wealth
At this time however. there was a gradual
decrease in the output because of a cur
tailed demand for iron. The product fuc-
tuated until 1850, when it ran up to T45. 900
tons. In 1882 the greatest record was made.
when go. 762 tons were mined Then began
another decline, but the year 1888 brought
about the most remarkable revival in the
iron mining industry known to its history
The reaction came during the year 1850. be-
cause high prices no longer prevailed
Some mines were closed and remained
closed, but others, having made extensive
preparations for the work could not afford
to stop, and continued, keeping as many
men employed as was possible At the
end OF the year 1900. Prof. Henry II. Hum
