PORTABLE SCHOOLHOUSES.
Seattle Board Of Education's Plan to Relieve
Overcrowded Condition in Schools.

Seattle, Sept. 24.--Ten portable one
room houses are to be purchased for the
purpose of relieving the overcrowded
public schools of Seattle. This action
was resolved upon by the board of edu-
cation at special meeting held yester-
dav afternoon. The houses will be built
in Seattle and will be designed especially
for school rooms. 1t is the intention of
Superintendent Cooper to have them
placed ON the grounds about the school
buildings now most overcrOwded, in
order that the children may have the
benefit of the sanitary conveniences OF
permanent buildings.
The board has rented forty-eight rooms
already for the purpose of relieving the
overcrowding, but is unable to get
enough space except by paying exhorbit-
ant rents. The portable houses, 24x3O
feet in size, built of wood, with double
walls, having an air space and a thick
ness of tarred felt between them will
cost but $3.50 each, and it is believed will
furnish the additional room needed.
The daily attendance in the schools OF
the city is now about 10000 or about
200 greater than last year, and the
present buildings cannot accommodate
1900 of the pupils now enrolled,

SCHLEY SCORES POINT.
Witness Declares His Ship Did Not Hail SchIey's,
But Records Show Different

Washington, d. c., Sept. 26.- Only
one session of the Schley court of inqui-
rv was held today on account OF the fun
eral of Judge Jere Wilson.
Admiral Dewey called the court to or
der at II a. m. Capt. Wise OF the Yale.
was the first important witness heard to-
day. He was recalled to finish his testi-
mony begun yesterday. He said he gave
no information to Schley concerning Ger
vera's whereabouts, but had told Captain
Sigsbee, whose duty he declared it was to
inform Schley.
Wise said that his ship had at no time
passed within hailing distance of the
Brooklyn; but Schley's counsel produced
the signal book showing the Yale had
frequently signalled the Brooklyn.
Wise recalled the signals, showing he
was many times within easy hailing dis
lance of the Brooklyn. Wise testified
that he did not direct Sigsbee to convey
to Schley the information he had receiv-
ed from the navy department regarding
the Spaniards' whereabouts.

SCHLEY INQUIRY.
Judge Advocate Lsmly and Counsel for Defense
Have Tilt.

Washington, d. c., Sept. Pit had
been intended by Judge Advocate Lemly
to follow up the examination of scout
ship captains at this mornings session
of the Schley court of inquiry, but they
were not available; so he decided to call
several witnesses who are anxious to
leave the city as soon as they can be
spared.
Lieut.. Wood further testified that he
had orders to run in as close to the enemy
as possible, should the enemy appear.
He had heard or knew of no efforts to
discover whether the Spanish ships were
inside of Cienfuegos harbor.
Capt. Wise resumed the stand to cor
rect his testimony of yesterday. He said
dispatch was given him for delivery to
Schley. 1t directed the latter to proceed
with all possible haste to Santiago. As
witness found Schley at Santiago, he did
not deem it necessary to inform Schley
of his own movements.
Lieut.. Spencer Wood, who commanded
the Dupont, testified that his vessel was
OF. the picket line. This was an import
ant statement for the Schley side. as it
is contended that he failed to establish
picket lines.
Lieut.. John Hood, who commanded
the Hawk during the war, testified that
he delivered a dispatch to Schley from
Sampson, in which the former was told
to go to Santiago with all possible speed,
as the Spanish fleet was there.
Schley maintains he received letter
from Sampson after receipt of this dis
patch, ordering him to remain at Glen
fuegOs.
During the afternoon session request
from Sampson, that Attorneys Stanton
and Campbell be permitted to represent
his interests before the court, was re-
ceived and refused.
Capt. McCalla took the stand and tes-
titled that he told Schley that the Span
ish fleet was at Santiago, and urged him
to go there as ordered even if he could
not stay there. McCalla said he would
have no difficulty in coaling with col
lier alongside, off Santiago.
After adjournment, Judge Advocate
Lemly strobe angrily to the table occu-
pied by Schley's counsel and demanded
to know why they had charged with Civ
ing the records OF the case to the news
papers.
MIR. Raynor denied that he had made
such a charge, but his associate, Lieut..
Parker, said he {" had his suspicious" as
who gave the out.
You always are full Of suspicions,'
angrily exclaimed Lemly.
WELL" replied Parker, II have had
suspicious that you were not gentle
man, and | am not sure but those sus-
picions were we'll founded"
Lemly ignored the remark.

oner was then asked whether he wished

one had anything to do with it but me.
No one told me to do it. No one sug-
gested that | should do it. l did not
make up my mind to do it until couple
of days before committed the act. My
parents and my brothers and sisters had
nothing to do with it, nor person else.

Final Removal From the Monument to the
New Vault.

Springfield, Sept. 27.-Acting Govern
or Brenholt officiated yesterday as chief
executive of the state at what is intend
ed to be the final removal of the remains
of Abraham Lincoln. The casket was
taken from its resting place in the mon.
ument to Memorial hall, where it was

officers who are members of the Lincoln
Monument Association, some members
of the old Lincoln Guard of Honor and
the contractors. After viewing the re-
mains the casket was closed and removed

teen feet deep. Surrounding the casket
is steel cage, around which will be
placed solid wall of concrete.

very good state of preservation, but
were easily identified.

secrecy, no newspaper reporters having
knowledge of the action until after it had

Port Townsend, Sept. 25.-The steam-
shin Oregon, from Nome, ten days over.
due. with 500 passengers aboard, arrived

ING the accident as likely to lead to an
almost indefinite passage, cut the pas
senrers and crew down to two meals
day. and very light meals at that, though
the ships stores were sufficient Tor any
reasonable length of time and could
have sustained all on board for thirty
days at a pinch.
4 week had elapsed after the accident
before the seas sufficiently Gained to
permit any attempt to rig temporary
steering apparatus, the vessel all that
time living in the through of the heavy
sea and drifting before the gale. Two or
three days elapsed before the apparatus
could be made to answer the purpose,
on account of the winds and seas during
the whole of her trip after the accident.

AGRICULTURE IN ALASKA.
Cereal Grains and Vegetables Can Be Grown
With Profit in That Territory.

Washington, Sept. 26.-Very optimist-
ic views as to the agricultural possible
ties of Alaska are entertained by Prof. E.
w. Allen, an expert of the department
of agriculture, who has just returned
to Washington from tour through the
southern part of the territory. Prof.
Allen visited the three experiment sta
tions Of the department of Alaska, ex-
amined the districts where farms were
in operation, and made study of the
soils, both along the coast and in the in
terror. As a result of his investigations,
aided by the work of the experiment
stations at Sitka, Renal and Kadiak, he
declares that the cereal grains, particu-
larly those that mature early (such as
sixty-day oats) and all varieties of hardy
vegetables, can be profitably grown in
the territory.
