IN FAVOR OF scHLEY.
Even His Enemies Admit Charges
Have Been Amply Dsproven.

Washington. oct. 26.-When Ad-
miral Schley went on the stand to
testify this afternoon every inch OF
available space in the room was occu-
pied and every ear was strained to
hear the story of the campaign which
resulted i'm the destruction of Cerveras
squadron before Santiago by the man
who commanded the American ships
in the fight Only the beginning of the
story had been told when the hour OF
adjournment was reached. It will be
continued tomorrow and possibly on
Saturday.
The admiral was perfectly at ease
and spoke in calm. clear voice. The
members OF the distinguished court
did not lose a word of what he SAID.
The admirals manner was such that
all who heard him are easily con
vinced that the one who knew most
of the battle of Santiago was doing the
talking. It is quite likely that later
on the court will ask him numerous
questions and will regard his testi-
mony as the most important of all.
Gen. Raynor says there is no doubt
that Schley will abundantly clear
up every point of the case about which
there is the slightest question
Public opinion in Washington has
long since come to the conclusion that
the result of the inquiry will be a
complete vindicatlon for the hero of
Santiago. Even many officers who
have been watching the inquiry with
sympathies adverse to Schley admit
that the department has utterly failed
to sustain the intimations of the pre-
cept and those who have observed the
prosecution are certain that the de-
partment Is striving all that IL can
to extricate itself from the attitude
OF having engineered any movements
against Schley.
1t comes from people very close to
the president that he has been deeply
impressed by the lack of evidence
against Schley in view of the very
Industrious campaign which has been
waged against him by certain officials
OF the navy department. That the pub
lie demand now going on for a
, Strengthening out of the department is
being seriously regarded at the White
House there can be no doubt. The re
tirement of Assistant Secretary Hack
EFT and the early retirement of Secre-
tary Long promise important changes
in the department. II is believed that
many who have been resting in easy
places for a number OF years will be
shifted 70 other duties and that quite
a new crowd will be placed in charge
OF the various bureaus of the depart
ment.
The suggestion that former Sec
retary Chandler will again be placed
at the head OF the department attracts
much attention, but it is not likely
that he will be Longs successor.
Chandler without any question would
make a clean sweep of the bureaus.
If this is what the president really do
sires, nobody would undertake the job
with more real pleasure than Chand-
ler
Admiral Schley is overwhelmed
with invitations from all parts of the
country to visit cities and clubs. It Is
quite probable that early in the con-
ing year he will visit a number OF
cities which have long ago complete
preparations to entertain him

Brain.Eood Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent au-
thorities. They have dispelled the silly
notion that one kind of food is needed
for the brain another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A correct
diet will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but it will sustain
every other part. Yet, however good
your food may be, its nutriment is de-
stroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia.
You must prepare for their appearance
or prevent their coming by taking reg
ular doses of Greene's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the healthy
millions. A few doses aids digestion
stimulates the liver to healthy ac-

CHINA is AGREEABLE.
The Government Says It Can Comply Win
Demands of the Powers.

Following at an interval of one day
close upon his announcement that the
Chinese emperor has decreed the &C.
ceptance Of the Pekin agreement, MIN.
lister Conger cabled the state depart.
ment, under date of Pekin, January l
that the next step had been taken, ano
that the ministers had been notified
formally that the agreement was &C
cepted by the Chinese government; but
that the government felt able to gua'-
antee q performance Of the conditions
imposed. 1t was apprehended that there
would he much difficulty in settling the
important subject of indemnities, and
the re-arrangement Of the commercial
treaties between China and the powers,
which is provided for only in general
terms in the agreement, and is expect
ed to present equal difficulties in the
arrangement Of the details.
It is absolutely essential to hamoni-
Gus relations in the future that there
snail d IlO LII thS
ing of these treaties. If by covert agree
ment one power is to obtain CONNER
cial advantage Of the others the result
will be the cause Of dissatisfaction.
Therefore, it is within the bounds OF
that the outcome Of the ne
gotiations under the sub-head of the
agreement touching commercial ar
rangements, will be the framing Of
like a general convention,
which may be signed collectively or
singly by the powers, hut which Will
insure uniform treatment to all. The
Chinese governments guarantee of Its
ability to perform the acts called for
by the agreement is now expected to be
followed by the prompt arrest and pun
ishment Of the Boxer leaders and SYM

cree of September 25th, as follows:

MARK Twain is the leading humorist
of the world, and he is great deal more
than that. He is a Christian philoso-
pher of the highest order. At watch
meeting in New York city, all Of the
Christian nations were represented un-
der the Red Cross flag and messages
were received from rulers and great
men of all civilized countries.
Miss Clara Barton, of the Red Cross,
sent a greeting from Washington.
President Mckinley cordially greeted
the American National Red Cross. The
premier of Japan responded, as did
Queen Victoria. Sir Edwin Arnold
wished the people of the United States
a happy and prosperous century. Lord
Roberts responded and likewise the
king and queen of Greece. Among 9TH
ers, were messages filled with kindly
expressions from King Leopold. King
Christian, of Denmark, the emperor OF
Austria, President Diaz, of Mexico,
President Castro, Of Venezuela, Hall
Caine, General Galliffet, of France, w.

velt and William ]. Bryan. Nothing
from any of these crowned heads and
great statesmen, however, approx
mates this pithy statement from Mark
Twain: II bring you the stately ma
tron named Christendom, returning be-
draggled, besmirched and dishonored

OUT FISHING AGAIN z
A Wise Newspaper Thinks the Old Gentleman
Is After Votes.

It is worthy of note that curiosity as
to Mr.. Cleveland's views and perform
ances is more easily gratified when
manifested in and around Atlanta, Ga,
than in any other quarter Of the coun-
try. Recently, after denying a number
of people, Mr.. Cleveland gave the At
lanta Journal an interview on the DEM
ocratic duty Of the hour, and now, in
order to settle local dispute on the
subject, he tells the same newspaper
that he did not vote for Mckinley last
month. The dispute probably arose out
of the fact that Mr.. Cleveland left
Princeton, and it was reported he was
on his way in company with one of his
millionaire friends to the favorite hunt
ing grounrs on the South Atlantic
coast. That, however, proved to be a
mistake. He returned home in time
to vote, and his visit to the polls WAS
duly described. Since then some entire
ly natural interest has attached to Mr..
Clevelands ballot. For whom was it
cast? Not for Mckinley, as he himself
declares. And, Of course, not for MI.
Bryan, whom he does not accept as be-
ing Democrat. Then for whom? But
is it in order to press the point so far?
Why is Atlanta so favored in This re-
gard? Not solely, we may believe, be-
cause it Is the home of the Hon. Hoke
Smith. Mr.. Smith is Cleveland man,
earnest, unchanging, Interchangeable.
But so is the Hon. Don M. Dickin-
son, Of Detroit, and so is the Hon. w.
F. Villas, Of Madison, Wis. Why has
this Southern city been selected over
those two thriving northwestern cities,
as the distributing point for news Of
such wide interest? Is Mr.. Cleveland
making up" to the South again? Is it
his calculation now, as it was when he
was preparing the way for his third
nomination in 1892, that the South
holds the key to the situation? And If
he can succeed in displacing Mr.. Bry-
an in the South's affections, will his
chances for the Democratic nomination
in 1904 be good? Here is where the
Atlanta date lines come in. Atlanta is
probably the best known Of all the
Southern cities. It's newspapers are en-
terprising and widely read. Their spe-
cial news as to him, therefore, Is GER
tain Of a large circulation throughout
that whole section of the country. All
Of them are not friendly to his aspira-
tions, but that is not material at this
time. He is anxious to reach South
ern readers, and all of them assist him
to that end. Is 1t useless for Mr.. Cleve-
land to turn to the South for support
latter all that has happened?" When
it comes to politics the South is very
tickle and very sentimental. She has
never in her bitterest moments reviled
Mr.. Cleveland as she had for years re-
viled Horace Greeley, nor with half
the cause And yet she supported
Horace Greeley when she thought there
was hope of winning with him. Give
her the hope of winning with Mr..
Cleveland again. and may she not be
expected to support him again? Mr..
Cleveland himself evidently thinks So

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

The next meeting Of the York County
Teachers association Is to be held in
Yorkville on Saturday, January 19,
and a number of leading teachers
throughout the county are hoping for
large attendance.
Just why it is cannot be explained by
THE ENQUIRER; but it is a fact that
there has not heretofore been as much
interest in the association as there
should be-. The matter is very import
ant, and the teachers should investi-
gate the trouble. Whether or not the
association is to be success will de-
pend upon the teachers alone.
Speaking of the approaching meeting,
a local teacher, the other day, called
the attention of the reporter to the fact
that it occurs on the birthday Of Gene
raj Robert E. Lee, and he went on to
suggest the propriety Of some special
recognition of the circumstance. -

States to wave over each school house.
This would conform to my sentiments

Of putting the school children of the
county to work erecting patriotic

has not seen fit to actually launch the
