New York, Dec GA special to the

Admiral Schley has been found at
fault on five counts by the court of

who is in position to learn the opin-
ion of the three admirals on the diff

rinds Schley:
"First-For the delay of the Flying
Squadron off Cienfuegos.
"Second-For Misrepresentation of
the reasons for returning to Key West
to coal.
"Third-For disobedience of orders
in making the retrograde movement.
"Fourth-For failure to destroy the
Colon.

diplomatic Agent DIcklnson's note
has just been made public by the
Austro-Hungarian foreign ministry
at Vienna, says, the Vienna CORES
pendent of the World.
It was written by Mr.. Daniff, min
lister of foreign affairs and concludes
with the following words: Il am sur
prised that you have come to the
conclusion that the United States
will hold Bulgaria responsible for
Miss Stones death. 1 must regard it
as certain that the using of violence
by the brigands can only be laid

''The bulgarian government de-

In Vienna this answer is considered
most impudent, and the hope is ex-
pressed that the United States will
hold Bulgaria responsible for Miss
Stones safety.

Amsterdam, Dec. G.-In view, of
allaying public indignatif n and ex-
citement semi-official intimations
have been circulated to the effect that
Queen Wiihelmina has forgiven her
husband, Prince Henry of the Neither
lands, the suggestion being that the
public ought to follow suit.
Since Prince Henry returned to
Het Loo the queen and he have been
dining together and gradually resum-
ing normal relations. Yesterday they
walked together and afterward drove
in the castle park. The relations be-
tween Prince Henry and the members
of the court are however, very strain
ed. The former cordially has been
replaced by an attitude of frigid polite
ness on the part of the prince consort,
and apparently the gentlemen OF the
court are equally indisposed to gloss
over recent occurrences.

meeting yesterday was principally
consumed in discussion of the

England and Protection.

One OF the most significant things at
the present time is the earnestness with
which the question of protective tariff
system OF taxation is being discussed by
a considerable share of the British press.
The London Mail has been particularly
strong in advocating the adoption of
this system, particularly since the re-
turn of it's proprietor from his recent
visit to the United States, during which
he paid great deal of attention to the
manner in which American manufactures
have been built up under the protective
system, says the acknowledgements.
A few years ago not a London news
paper OF standing could have been found
to risk it's reputation by advocating
what was regarded as a persistent and
exploded heresy. No public man could
be found to question the maxims of the
Cobdenites, which were believed to be as
axlomatic as any demonstrated propo-
sition in mathematics. The British he
hef was that the last word had been
said upon the subject; that the argu-
ments in favor of free trade were abso-
lutely conclusive; and that under no
circumstances would Great Britain ever
depart from her traditional policy.
The British attitude toward Ame-i-
can advocates of protective tariff was
one OF mingled irritation and contemnt
british economic writer's could not
understand how such an intelligent PEG
PIE as the Americans could permit them
serves TO be entangled by the so-called
sophlstrles OF protection, which every
Coodenlte was prepared to prove nv
ciear-cut reasoning, and by the familiar
c'oset arguments, were false in theory
ana impracticable in operation Tho
argument was all in; nothing could no
said upon the other side; the case was
closed; the decision rendered and +boro
was no appeal.
AT the present time, however. there is
arising more or less vague feeling that
something must have been wronq in +ho
argument; that some premise was over
looked: that there were some Of tho

States, the result would be to place in
tolerable burdens upon the people of
this country, by compelling them to pay
enhanced prices for the necessities of
life. 1t was also proved In like manner
that under a general protective tariff
system, and under the high wages which
were inseparable from such a system, the
manufactures OF the United States could
never produce cheaply enough to COM
pete with other countries in the markets
OF the world, but would necessarily be
limited to their own country.
Closet political economists could be
found by the dozen to demonstrate in
the clearest and most logical terms that
ii foreign manufactures were excluded
from a country by protective tariff, in
the absence OF this competition the
quality OF goods turned out would be
distinctly inferior, and the goods much
more costly. 1t was believed to be an
axiom that if tariff wall'' were built
around a country other countries would
not and could not buy goods there, be-
cause they were barred from shipping
their own goods in and consequently
could have nothing to exchange for the
purchased goods. Another generally &C
cepted maxim was that the more goods
there were purchased abroad, and the
less sold abroad, the greater the gain to
a country: because. don't you see,
you are adding to the wealth of the
country by everything you bring into it,
and decreasing it's wealth by everything
you send out?"
The condition now confronting the
British manufacturer seems to give the
lie fatty to all of these theories. The
protected American manufacturer is now
the industrial monarch of the world. He
produces goods cheaper and better than
can be found anywhere in the world, and
sells them in free trade England and
elsewhere; and with a steadily favorable
balance of trade the wealth of the United
States has grown so quickly and to
such great proportions that New York
instead of London is now practically the
financial center of the business world.

Testimony of Handwriting Experts.

Testimony of Handwriting Experts.
The refusal of Justice Fursman to
permit handwriting expert to give to
the jury his opinion as to the author
ship of certain papers submitted by

raises an important point in criminal
Jurisprudence and bears upon the

mony covered by the ruling
In the present instance it was sought
by the prosecuting attorney to Identify
the defendant as the murderer by prov

writer of certain signatures found on
the person of the murdered woman.
This method has heretofore been gen

In issue, not in controversy and that
expert testimony as to their authorship
could not be admitted unless they were

The effect Of this ruling, if it should
be sustained by the court of appeals.
will be to place much narrower limits
on expert testimony in New York state
courts than now surround it. Indeed
1t would practically eliminate the testi-
mOny Of handwriting experts from the
majority Of cases in which they have
been a considerable factor, at least In
the matter Of occupying the courts
time and the expenditure of the pub
lies money. In so many cases have
these experts, apparently possessing
equal qualifications, been found to fiat
ly contradict each other regarding any
given exhibit Of penmanship that the
public and even the courts themselves
come to look with more or less discred-
1t upon this sort of testimony. Ere
quently the expert witnesses, whether
In the matter Of handwriting, chemis-
try, medicine or surgery, are inclined to
give purely eX parte testimony in be-
half of the party by whom they are
employed. Unquestionably there are
times In criminal cases when the opin-
lon Of men trained in specialties is
vital, but 1t would seem that in the
interest of justice and public econ
omy some change or limitation might
be put upon the prevailing system of
ex parte employment of experts. AS
Justice Fursman apparently brought
up the matter for the purpose of hav-
ing the court of appeals pass upon it
the final decree of that tribunal will be
awaited with interest.

ance of a man who yields to force only
and, considering the occurrences of the
past two years, it constitutes one of the
most pathetic incidents in history. | see
nothing in the proclamation on which to
base any imputation on the good faith
OF Aguinaldo. There is, however, an
expression that somewhat alters my
opinion OF his astuteness, based on his
previous conduct. He says that the

the United States. obtain all promised
liberties He cannot have forgotten
the assurance of General Anderson in
1898 as to the justice with which our
allies against Spain would be treated. or
the solemn promises of the benevolent
assimilation. One thing should be
borne in mind-the surrender of every
hostile force in the Philippines and the
absolute acceptance of our dominion

dispose of the question involved in the
acquisition and government by this re-
