fications which were substantially aban- doned by the judge advocate, as will ap- pear from the argument in the case
 '29. The whole proceedings show that the majority of the court, fsom the opin- ions and report of facts rendered, have selected the testimony of a few hostile witnesses, and upon that testimony have based the opinion and report, discarding all the other testimony in the case, with out making the slightest reference to 1t, as they were directed by the precept to to.
 "3O The applicant besides the reasons herein given, hopes to be able during the further investigation of this inquiry to adduce other serious and important reasons why the majority opinion of the court should not be approved.
 Whole Proceedings Irregular.
 ''31. The applicant is prepared to show that the whole proceedings upon the part of the majority of the court have been entirely irregular; that his rights have been prejudiced and ignored; that his testimony in many more particulars than have been herein cited has not been con sidered and that the evidence Is abso- lutely insufficient to sustain the opinion of the majority. That grave injustice has been committed, which would become irrepairable and be perpetuated unless this opinion of the majority of the court should be disapproved.
 wherefore the said applicant most re- spectfully prays that approval of the opinion of the majority of said court of inquiry be withheld and that said opin- ion be disapproved and that he may be afforded the opportunity to have the testimony of record of himself and his witnesses properly considered and passed upon, and that the proceedings. be. remit ted to the court for that purpose, and that he be given such other and further relief as he is entitled to in the pre- mises.

 JAMES PARKER,
 Council for the Applicant" Commenting upon today's action MT. Rayner said
 Rayner Makes Statement.
 ''If we claim that the whole of the evil dence in favor of Admiral Schley, in- cluding his own and the testimony of all of his witnesses, has been rejected by the majority of the court and not even considered or passed upon, such d method of procedure would not be per mitted to stand for a moment before any tribunal governed by any principle of common law sor common justice The admiral was on the stand for about four days and not a word that he uttered and not a solemn assertion that a witness made under the sanction of his oath has been adverted to by the majority of the court. Such a method of disposing of a case is unparalleled in the annals of the civil or of criminal law. The greatest malefactor in the land under the con stitution Is entitled to have his evidence considered and passed upon.
 ''We shall therefore, avail ourselves of every remedy that we have to im- peach this appalling verdict"

Chicago, H., December 18.-Benny Yanger was given the decision over Joe Bernstein of New York, after six rounds of fighting, tonight.
 The first three rounds were in favor of Bernstein, who did most of the leading and landed the greater num- Der of clean blows.

He scored a knock down in the fourth and put Bernstein to his knees in the fifth. In the pre-. liminaries Jack Beauscholte and Billy Stiff of Chicago fought a six-round draw. M

London, December 1S.-David Lloyd George. M. P. in speaking in Birming- ham town hall tonight, precipitated a scene unprecedented in that city since the Aston Park riots.
 The majority of the audience were hos tile to the speaker and were enraged by his pro-Boer and anti-Chamberlain ut teranees.
 The feeling against MT. Lloyd-George has been so strong during the past week that even tickets were forged to enable the "jingoes9 to obtain admission to the town hall This compelled the Liberal Association to print different tickets, but it's efforts to exclude their opponents were quite vain. The students of Bir- mingham University, which was founded by the efforts of MT. Chamberlain, held meeting of protest yesterday and crowds were awaiting admission to the building long before the doors of the hall were opened. The building filled quickly and 1t was immediately seen that trouble was coming While the organist was playing the dssentants began to sing "Britons Never Will Be Slaves" and kept it up until the organist was compelled to desist. They cheers were raised for Joey"
 Shouts of Traitor.
 A white flag was unfurled amid deaf ening shouts of 'traitor,"s as MT. Lloyd George and his frineds appeared on the platform. All attempts at speech-mak- ing were futile owing to the continuous din of hissing, hooting and singing. The speakers per force had to content them selves with dieting a few sentences in the ears of the reporters. These were mainly of protest against the agitation caused by the 'jingo" press.
 In the meantime the enormous crowd outside the building had become more noisy and menacing. Presently stone
