the court, said that the sudden close
Of the case against Czolgosz was a
surprise to him and his colleague.
They had no witnesses to call for the

The court consented, and the venera-

heard 1t.
Judge Lewis had not been talking

It was fully minute before he could

that Judge Lewis had SO completely

Washington, Sept. 26.-Two new wit
nesses were introduced in the Schley
court yesterday. They were Admiral
Cotton, who as captain commanded the
auxiliary cruiser Harvard, and Captain
Wise, who commanded the auxiliary
cruiser Yale during the Spanish war.
Both these vessels were used as scouts
and both came up with the flying
squadron off Santiago on the 9th of
May, before the retrograde movement
to Key West was begun.
Admiral Cotton testified that he had
gone aboard Admiral Schley's flagship,
the Brooklyn, on that date to take dis
patches to him and he said at first that
he gave him four or five dispatches
addressed to the commander of the
squadron. He afterwards modified this
statement saying that probably all but
two of these dispatches were addressed
to himself admiral Cotton), but that
they contained information which he
thought should be in Admiral Sch1ey's
possession. One of these was copy OF
dispatch from Admiral Sampson,
which had not been printed in the Of
fetal records, stating that the Spanish
fleet was at Santiago. He also said
that coal could have been taken from
the Merrimac on the 9th Of May, the
day on which the retrograde movement
to Key West was begun for the pur-
pose Of coaling.
Admiral Schley told me he was
very anxious for the fleet" said Ad-
miral Cotton. 1.-THE coal supply was
getting very short, the weather had
been bad and threatened to grow
worse. II these conditions continued
or grew worse, he saw but one alter
native, and that was to return to Key
West. He was very apprehensive of the
Texas. He feared she did not have
enough coal to reach Key West. Dur
ing my visit general signal was made
to the ships of the fleet directing them
to report whether they had sufficient
coal to reach Key West. In answer
he received the report that all the
ships, including the Texas, had enough.
Commodore Schley seemed to be much
relieved. He then gave preparatory
signal to return to Key West. 1t was
after he read the dispatches delivered
by me that Commodore Schley asked
the ships as to the state of their coal
supply"

Adlai stevenson's Eulogy of Mckinley.

Former Vice President Adlai E. Steven
son, of Bloomington, Illinois =
"Fellow Citizens The occasion that
calls us together at this hour is one of deep
solemnity to the American people. A
President lies dead in our midst. No pre-
cautions could avail against the bullet of
the assassin. The prayers of a great people
could not stay the coming of the dread mes
senger. All that is mortal of the lamented
President is now to be borne by loving
friends to the place appointed for all the
living
s'Blameless in private life. his personal
integrity unquestiOned, firm in his convic-
tions of duty, true in his friendships
patriotic in all his impulses of lofty aims
and purposes, gentle and loving to those to
whom his tolls and cares were giyen-he
will be to the young men Of our country an
example and an inspiration.
"It avails little to hurl denunciation
against the head of this latest assassin.
Within few days at most he will, under
the forms of law, suffer the dread penalty
Of his crime. It is but cheap courage at
best. whether from the street or from the
pulpit, for any man to declare that had
he been present he would gladly have

menace to the well-being of society. 1t
may be that the temptation is often great to
take the law into our own hands. But
let it not be forgotten that by so doing we
weaken the bonds Of human society. Aye,
we but teach bloody instructions, which,
being taught return to plague the in
yentor.' Mob rule is destructive of all
government.
SIN this hour Of national sorrow it is
a gratifying reflection that during the
more than one hundred years of our his
tory as a government no man has been
elected to the Presidency who was un-
worthy of the great Office. The eminent
statesman whose memory we now honor
has with ability and fidelity met the re-
quirements of his exalted station. His
work is done. His hands are folded. His
name is henceforth upon the list Of the
illustrious dead. Peace to his ashes. May
God comfort the one most of all bereaved. -

During the past five years there mas
been developed a method of utilizing old
steel rails which bids fair to becom. an
important factor in the steel Industry.
About ten Years ago an official Of the
Chicago, Milwaukee G. st. Paul railroad
turned his attention to the problem of
utilizing down and defaced rails
BY re-rolling them to a size somewhat
smaller than the original section, After
considerable experimental work 1t VAS
determined in 1887 to erect a plant for
the special purpose of re-rolling old
rails The first plant was erected at
Joliet and in 1895 second plant was
built at Kansas City. AT the present
time over LOCO miles of track have been
relad with rails that have been passed
thru the re-rolling mills. total of
nearly 100000 tons having been thus
treated by the new system. The wear
upon the rails is chiefly upon thu top
and inside of the head of the rail In
the process Of re-rolling the rails are
Very slightly reduced in the webs and
fianges, while the contour of the head
is restored TO a symmetrical tho some
what smaller section.
The process, as stated by the Scien-
tific American. consists in first passing
the rails beneath set of grinders.

edges from the head, then heating them
