nat EFFORTS were made by the vessels
! OF the flying squadron prior to the ar
w trbat OF the Mar6lehead, to determine
in the harbor of Cienfuegos -
None that ever knew Of
heIerrihs TO the range of the guns for
mat day. Commander Potts said the
easement was 1900 yards. but he had in
creased II to 1900 yards. then to 5000 wards
and finally to 10000 yards. Only one shot
fleet had impressed him as being at ali
dangerous. That fell near the Massa-
chusetts Soon after that the Connie
dore had given the order, Put YOUR helm
to starboard and lets get out of this.
He said he had seen no shore BATTERIES
at Cienfuegos.
Lieut.. f. F. Leipcr was called. He
served on the New Orleans during thc
Spanish war an told of the participa ion
Of that vessel in the bomba rdment of
the Colon, May 81
lie said the first shot from the Massa-
chusetts had fallen outside the MORO
and Notwithstanding the range was in
creased. all the shots fell short of the
Colon. There We're he said, no orders
either to fire at or to make observations
or the batteries But. Notwithstanding
TINS. ne did fire at the eastern batteries
on ms own responsibility. One shot from
the enemy fen 80 or ~ yards from the
New Orleans. The projectile was 50
small he had been surprised that II
reached such range. All told the fir
ing OF his vessel upon the Colon did not
consume more than six minutes.
He thought all the shots from the
American ships had fallen short of the
Colon. The wtness said he had seen no
evidence Of the presence of large or pow
erful guns in the shore batteries and was
OF the opinion there were none of them
to exceed six inches in calibre.
The witness said that he had secured
MS most accurate idea of the strength
of the shore batteries by the fact that on
June II the New Orleans had approached
to within 1850 yards of them, remaining
for ~ minutes and silcncing them after
four or five minutes.
Lieut.. Ieiper was still on the stand
when the court adjourned for the day.

The CHICAGO Market

Chicago. Dee. 20-Firmness of foreign
markets, dropping off in the domestic re
ceipts. scarcity of red winter wheat and
the general effect of the extreme cold
weather made grain traders forget all
about the holiday depression today, and
May wheat closed u higher, May corn p
up and May oats sax higher. Provi-
sions closed unchanged to l2l2al5c
higher
Conditions in wheat were bullish all
around at the opening. Trade was in
Clined to continue in its duh rut, but with
such arguments for better prices traders
who did not wish to get into deals had to
bid up. Cables were firm. Receipts were
small. and the cold weather promised
still smaller for tomorrow. In the west
and southwest severe drops in tempera-
ture were recorded. Commission houses
began to buy on these factors and prices
steadily advanced. May opened An4s
cents up at 1888 to 1884, and closed strong,
Hc. up, at 500. SeabOard clearances We're
617 coo bushels.
Corn had a narrow and nervous mar
ket with but a small trade. Small re-
ceipts and the wheat firmness lent a bet
ter character to this market, but on the
whole business was insignificant. May
opened well up on better cables and ad-
vanCed by narrow margins to a firm close
y up, at 66fs
Oats followed after corn and wheat
The trade was small but the strength in
the other pits offset the sIowness Of the
cash situation and brought slightly bet
ter prices May was firm at the opening
and closed with a good tone, lsaA up, at
447s045.
Provisions were firm considering the
weakness of the hog market. Early
prices We're off, but a splurge came to-
ward the close in sympathy with grains

Congress at the approaching session.
The Washington correspondents are
we'll agreed upon this ana the editorial
comment is all OF one tone. The ques-
tiun. in fact, seems hardly debatahlr. .
both PARTIES are agreed upon it and
the experience Of the past ~ years
amply vindicates the Judgment of those
who secured the passage of the first
exclusion act in lS>2 1t was a kepubli-
can victory in the interests OF labor
ana national morality ana such It r"-
mains
When the fist exclusion act Was
passed. TO cover a period of 10 years, it
| was against much opposition and there
seemed two sides to the matter
Many declared il an inconsistent
course and un-American in principle.
| The United. States acted alone. But
today the policy Of exclusion is almost
universal ana is everywhere admitted
! necessary. Australia has more strn-
gent exclusion laws than We have.
Thr French colonies, Dutch colonies

permits tn" free and uncha llcnG"d en-

n yer been threatened by tn" danger
as have its colonial possessions and
our country. The constitutionality of

upheld by the courts. That the law is
