Commodore ,Schley. When asked If
Commodore Schley had said anything
during the battle for the encourage
ment of the men, this witness replied
that he several times had said give
'em He'll boys" All those witnesses
testified that the conduct of the COM
modore when under fire was cool and
courageous.
Washington, Oct. 1.-THE presenta-
ton of Admiral Schley's side of the
controversy was continued before the
Schley court Of inquiry today, eight
witnesses being examined. OF these
five were ensigns and the entire eight
had served on board the Brooklyn
with Admiral (then commodore)
Schley.

Adele, John Haligan, Jr., Ulysses S.
Macy, JAS. M. Hand and Ralph N. Mar
BILE. The last witness Of the day was
Medical Director Paul Fitzsimmons
who was chief surgeon of the flying
squadron.
While Ensign Halagan was on the
stand, Mr.. Rayner sought to bring out
information as to the American ships
in sight at the beginning of the bat
tie of July 8, but Judge Advocate
Lemly objected on the ground that the
question was intended to show the
absence of the New York and the in
terrogatory was withdrawn.
Ensign Marble stated that he had
heard Captain Sigsbee tell Commo-
dore Schley when he came aboard the
Brooklyn, on May 26, that the Span
iards were not, at Santiago.
There has been some inquiry as to
Admiral Schley's standing in the navy
since he was placed on the retired
list, because of age, but it appears
that all questions or this point have
been settled by the department hav-
ing assigned the admiral to active dut-
les at the court of inquiry while it is
in progress. This action was taken to
prevent any question as to the effect
the admirals retirement would have
on the action of the court.

Butte Inter Mountain: The corner
saloon at Park and Main streets late
last night gave up a pack of devotes
of the card table that overtaxed the
capacity of the big patrol wagon.
Night Patrolman McGlynn, Frank
Mcdonald and Conlon were informed
of a little affair, called drawpoker for
short, and started to investigate.
The Dom upstairs, it was found,
we're not in use, and it was thought
by the officers at first that they had
been put on the wrong scent.
AS they filed downstairs, however,
they heard the steady "clink, clink" of
the chips, and the whir of the wheel
emanating from behind at the rear of
the bar.
The %barkeeper looked as wise as a
man who knows as little as he can and
still hold his job.
A small door leading into the
was found to be securely fastened,
and after rafting at the knob without
result, the officers put their shoulders
against the barracuda.
There Was a sharp cracking from
the tearing wood, and the officers
burst in. The players, however, had
been informed of the presence of the
officers, and had been told to put the
evidences of the play in their pockets.
When searched at the county Jail,
where the men had been taken, the
national colors, red, white and blue,
were very much in evidence. There
was also a sprinkling Of Spanish vel

twenty.
Among those arrested were T. O.
Towner, A. Thorange, John Newland,
John Hurdle, Alex Steinman, o. Leaut

ToWner had a double charge of
gambling and vagrancy placed against
him. He was given a light fine be-
fore Judge McClernan some time ago
for the former %offense, the judge as
sessing him 500. This time it is
thought he will not escape so easily.

Antelope and Deer Dying From Pecu-
liar Disease.

liar Disease.
w. F. Scott will leave this evening
for Malta, where he will investigate
the reports that come from the Little
Rockies that deer and antelope are
dying in large numbers of some un-
known disease, says the Helena Her
aid. I
DIR. M. E. Knowles, state veterinar-
ian, received a letter this morning
from Robert Coburn, at Great Falls,
saying that many deer south of Malta,
where the Coburns range their cattle,
had been found dead. Another letter
was received from DR.. A. R. CHASER, of
Malta, stated that Whitehall deer,
that are numerous south of the Little
Rockies, are dying in large numbers
of some unknown disease. A great
many have been found dead and 9th
ers seen by passers by have been too
sick to fee. Joseph Legg, of Wilder,
and w. B. McGinnis, living near the
mouth of the Musselshell, make a sim
liar report.
Mr.. Scott will go from here to Malta
where he will secure saddle horses
and ride south into the Little Rock
les, where the disease is supposed to
be prevalent. Portions of the lungs,
liver and kidneys, as we'll as the blood
of the effected animals, will be Sc.
cured and brought to Helena for an
alysis.
DR.. Adams, of Great Falls, recently
returned from a hunting trip and re.
ports that he saw any number of dead
deer. He believes that the malady
may be anthrax.
II do not believe" said DR.. M. E
Knowles, discussing the matter today
that the disease is anthrax. It is,

The Hague, Jan. 3l-Duke Hen
ry of observation-disclosures, whom
Queen Wilhelmina will marry, made
his formal entry into the capital at s
O'Clock this evening, wearing the uni
form of a Dutch general and Dutch
decorations. He was received at the
railway station by a guard of honor
and with great ceremony. The pre-
mier welcomed him on behalf of the
cabinet as 1.-THE betrothed of our be-
loved queen and a Dutch subject"
The duke drove in one of the state
carriages to the palace, where Queen
Wilhelmina awaited him in the vesti-
bule. In thanking the various officials
who welcomed him, he spoke the
Dutch language. Enormous crowds
displayed the widest enthusiasm and
the troops were scarcely able to con-
troll the people who massed around the
palace, where another guard of honor
was drawn up. The palace was
beautifully decorated.

PER|LoUS VOYAGE
Venezuelan Gunboat Restaurador
Almost Wrecked by Storm
Off Bermuda.

San Juan de Porto Rico, Jan. 81
The Venezuelan gunboat Restaurad-
dor, formerly the Atlanta, George
Gould's yacht, which left New York,
January "a, for La Guayara, venezu-
ella, arrived here today.
Her commander, Captain Jeremiah
Merrithew, reports that the gunboat
struck a fearful gale off Bermuda last
Saturday, which continued for three
days. Her coal and water were ex.
hausted and her mahogany deck was
burned as fuel.
The waves ran mountains high.
Her boats were stove in and the jib-
boom, bowsprit and spare spars were
lost. For .48 hours Captain Merrithew
was on the bridge.
Finally the bunker floors were
burned, but this scarcely served to
keep up steam and the last available
fuel had gone into the furnace when
the Restaurador sighted Ell Moro.
Captain Merrithew had to burn his
last barrel Of pork to get the gunboat
into port. The Restaurador, however,
suffered no serious injury. The nee
essary repairs can be made in a week
and the gunboat will then proceed for
Guayara.

FOR JOINT MEETING
Foreign Enjoys Decide to Meet
Chinese Ministers Next
Tuesday.

Pekin, Jan. 31-A general meeting
Of the foreign ENJOYS was held this
evening at which it was decided to
hold a joint meeting of the ENJOYS and
Chinese plenipotentiaries next Tues
day.
Nothing has been definitely decided
regarding punishment and opinions are
much divided, some favoring drastic
measures, like %beheading a majority of
those considered especially responsible,
particularly Prince Tuan, who, next
to the empress dowager, is considered
the principal culprit, but others, act
ing under instructions from their gov
ernments, advocate nominal punish
ments like Punishment. It is gen.
orally recognized that all foreign en-
voys, with the possible exception of
DeGie1s, Russian minister, personally
believe leniency would be a great mis-
take, considering the Interpretation
the Chinese would put upon it.
Ii Hung Chang is anxious that the
joint meeting should be held at his
house, owing to his state of health.

WHEELER NOT SURPRISED.
Knew That a Settlement Would Be
Effected.

Minneapolis, Jan. 31-A. K. Vince
Ter, private secretary to Judge Arthur
81. Noyes of Minneapolis, who re-
turned Tuesday from Washington, was
greatly pleased upon learning of the
turn of affairs. Wheeler had received
private information more than a week
ago that II satisfactory settlement was
in sight. .
AS to the terms he is completely in
the dark.
He is inclined to think that there
was no real settlement and that those
pushing the proceedings, against the
receiver and Judge Noyes simply
concluded to drop a fruitless prosecu-
tion and stand from under. At the
same time, Wheeler could not under
stand just why the charges of con-
tempt against Notwithstanding
entirely apart from the petition for
Judge Noyes' removal-should have
been dropped, Or how it could have
been withdrawn, it having been en-
tirely a matter between the court and
the receiver.

MRS. NATION BEGINS ROUNDS
OF Topeka.
MORAL SUAS|ON FIRST
Urges Saloon Men to Close
and Escape the Wrath
That Is Coming.

Topeka, Jan. 31-Mrs. Nation start.
ed the rounds today with a new
Ratchet, followed by a crowd OF
sympathizers. The police tried to ar
rest her, but the crowd interfered and
she continued her rounds.
Mrs. Nation wore an old gray shawl
and carried an ordinary hand bag.
When she appeared at the different
"joints, the owners stood back of the
b%arricaded doors and waited the at
tack. She begged them to let her in,
that she might talk to them, promis-
ing not to harm anything. But they
were afraid of her and would not open
the doors.
Nothing daunted she talked at them,
after this fashion:
"I'm sorry for you, boys. You look
so much ashamed of yourselves. I'm
not mad at you, boys. I'm not harm
ing you a bit, ever when I come
around with my Ratchet. I'm treating
you just as I would treat one of my
own boys, if I found him with some
thing that would do him harm.
"But, boys, you must not stay in
this business any longer. I give you
fair warning. Just, close UP and get
out of the business. You are harming
yourselves and other boys and I won't
let you do that. If you don't get out
of this, boys, I'll be around in a few
days and just break up your wicked
little shops for YOU"
Incredible as it may seem, the sa-
loon men were strongly moved by the
talk Mrs. Nation gave them.
She meant what she said-they un-
dersta,,d that. They knew that she
was not resentful and did not despise
them, just as they understood how
resolved she was to make them close
their joints.
Mrs. Nation made a short talk to a
class at Washburn college this morn
ing, speaking to the boys about ciga-
rettes and cigars.
In the chapel Of the college a min
lister was speaking. Mrs. Nation re-
garded him for a while, then leaned
over to a man near her and said:
won't you ask the man on the stage
to let me speak to these boys for a few
minutes? I've been giving them too
much chaf, I want to give them a few
grains of wheat"
She was not permitted to talk.

DEBATING SUBSIDY BILL.
Bitter Speeches Against Measure b,
Turley and Jones.

Washington, Jan. 3O-The ship
subsidy bill was kept to the front to-
day. No appreciable progress was
made, most of the time being occu-
pied by Mr.. Turley of Tennessee and
Mr.. Jones Of Arkansas in speeches op-
posing the bill and severely a~rraigning
the alleged favoritism.
Mr.. Jones declared it should be en-
titled "a bill to permit a select coterie
of ship wner to loot the United
States treasury.
After the speeches the formal read
ing of the bill was completed, but the
consideration Of amendments was not
entered upon.
Washington, Jan. Boa conference
of democrats and their associates of the
populist and silver republican faith
will be held tomorrow as a result of
the declaration yesterday by Mr..
Frye that he intended to push the CON
sideration of the ship subsidy bill to
the exclusion of all other business, ex-
cept by a vote of the senate.
This conference will determine the
fate Of the bill.
II the opponents of the measure de-
eide to continue a stiff fight and de-
bate the measure at great length, it
will mean defeat at this session with
the short time remaining to pass the
appropriation bills. The conference
also will take into consideration the
question whether the minority will
desire to take the responsibility Of de-
feating a party Measure Of the ma
jority.
