IN REPLY TO scHLEY.
Lemly and Hanna Submit Their Re-
port to Secretary Long.


Washington, Dec. 21.--Judge Advo-
cate Lemly and Solicitor Hanna have
submitted to Secretary Long their re.
port upon the bill of objections filed
by Admiral Schley through his coun-
sci to the findings OF the Schley court
of inquiry. In substance this report
Is an argument supplementary to the
argument mace by the writers before
the court Of inquiry. The principal
points are an insistence upon their
contention that the first report Is the
unanimous report of the court OF In
quiry: that the court was justified In
rejecting Admiral Schley's evidence
by the number OF witnesses who took
issue with him, and that there Is no
sufficient reason for the reopening OF
the case as requested by Admiral
Schley.

smaller quantities almost any price

irrigated. Of the cultivated ground
1000 acres are devoted to alfalfa and
the balance to corn and grain. Col.
Cody has, at present, on this ranch,
200 head of thoroughbred horses and
mules, 100 head of fine cattle and 1000
hogs. The most interesting fact about
this great farm is that it is all under
the management of woman-Mrs. w.
+. Cody.
Col. Cody, at one time, made single
shipment of ten car loads of bronchos,
each car containing 25 animals. And
some of them brought as high as 5000
pair in New York. Col. Cody has
been trying the experiment of cross
ing the range or broncho horse with
thoroughbred stock and by this meth
cd he has been able to produce what
he considers the finest cavalry horse in
the world. He says that the high alti-
tude in which the animals are raised
gives the creatures great lung power;
and that the limestone formation has
a good deal to do with the strong bone,
hoof and sinew of the animal. At the
age of four years some of his bronchos
weigh from 500 to $500 pounds and

ranches. 1t is the usual practice of
Col Cody to have his colts halter
broken during the first winter, but,
save for this simple breaking, little
attention is paid to them until they
are three or four years old. They
roam at will over the wild range unless
they are wanted for some specific pur-
pose. They are fed very little and learn
10 depend, winter and summer, upon
the grass of the prairie. When they are
three or four years old those that have
not been handled are wild enough to
give the man who endeavors to break
them lively tussle. But there isn't
a horse in the country that's too much
for Guss Thompson. He has earned a
reputation in the Big Horn Basin as an
expert in this work.
The third range belonging to Col.
Cody is known as the Scouts Rest
ranch and it is located at North Platte,
Neb. This is a 5,000-acre ranch and
1000 of these acres are cultivated and

nERHAPS it is not generally known
that Col. Cody, the famous scout,
owns three big ranches of his
own; but this is the case. His ia
vorite, the Big E. L. E. ranch, is sit
uated in the very heart of the Rocky
mountains, and when the show season
is over Col. Cody loses no time in
making tracks" for this ranch, where
he spends the most of his leisure time
hunting elk, deer, antelope, mountain
sheep, bear and lions or in the more
quiet enjoyment of fishing. Those
who have been to Buffalo Bills Wild
West show and have seen the fate of
the glass balls which he has shattered
with such unerring aim while at full
gallop, can be excused for wondering
what chance the wild game of the
Rockies has when Buffalo Bill is once
on it's trail.
Col. Cody has, on his favorite ranch,
$50 acres under cultivation and numer-
Gus fenced pastures, but his stock is
free to range on wide eXpanse of wild

BIG WAGER ON YACHTS.
English and American Syndicates
Place $4,000 on Result of Race
for Americas Cup.

New York, Aug. 31.-What is said
70 be the greatest wager in the history
of the sporting world was arranged
f'riGay upon the result of the interna-
ffonal yacht races. Twenty English
and American capitalists are interest
ed in a venture which involves, nearly
half a million dollars.
W. +. Muslin, president of the Pitts
burg stock exchange, representing ten
wealthy residents of that city, gave
assurance to Walter J. Kingsley that
the $T50,000 which he brought on the
Deutschland Thursday from an Eng
fish syndicate of prominent men, to be
placed upon the Shamrock, would be
covered at odds of five to three. Fri
day afternoon the principals met to
discuss the details, and Mr.. Kingsley
will wire to England the exact state
of affairs.

be made up of John X. Dryden, d. n.
