If Jesse Pomeroy, the boy murderer

fiend incarnate of 1876 be released from
custody today he would come forth one
of the most thoroughly read men OF his
age in Boston or in the world so far
as English literature is concerned.
Since Sept. IT, 1876, the date he entered
prison, until now. he has spent almost
the whole of his time. when not sleep
ing or eating, in reading He has had
access to. the prison library, and has
perUsed everything from the lightest
novel up to the choicest classic.
When condemned to life impTisOn-
ment he was extremely illiterate. Al
though a pervert, he possessed a brain
which was otherwise above the aver
age.
His thinking faculties were sharp,
shrewd and quick. Over twenty-fOur
years spent ia a prison cell has not
dimmed them. Today at the age of fl
ne is Just as active mentally as he was,
when as a youth he COnCOCted the
crimes which startled the country

the really very best boys in the Organiza-

must stop, and for the purpose of stop
ping them we organized a third party, We

We didn't mind that. We said. Call US

Of whom we didn't approve. In that cleo

from Lord Kitchener:
"Kritzinger, while attempting to
force a passage of the Orange River
near Herschell at 1 a. M Friday,
rushed the camp of party of Lovatt's
scouts. He failed to cross the river,
but the scouts lost heavily. Colonel
Andrew Murray and Captain Murray,
his adjutant were killed. Under
cover of darkness the Beers managed
TO carry off gun. They were
promptly followed up and the gun
was recovered in smart engage
ment, in which Kritzinger lost two
killed and 20 taken prisoners
Lord Kitchener also reports that
the British captured by the Beers in
the ambush near Scheeper's Mex. Sept.
10, have been released and that the
British casualties in the recent Vlak-
fontein engagement. when the Beers
captured company of mounted In.

Washington, Sept 25-The Schley
court of inquiry was brought to sud
den termination for the day Is minutes
after convening yesterday by the an
nouncement of the sudden death of
Judge Jeremiah Wilson, senior coun-
sci for Admiral Schley. Admiral
Dewey said: 81 have to announce
that owing to the death of Judge Will
son OF counsel, the court will adjourn
for the day."
1t was announced at the court room
that Judge Wilson's death occurred at
11:OS a. m. at the Shoreham hotel
and that it had been due to acute indi.
gestion and kidney trouble. The pro-
ceedings of the court were rendered
very brief by the announcement Of
Mr.. Wilson's death.
Commanders Bates and Schroeder
were recalled to listen to the reading
of the official report of their testimony
as given Monday and Machinist A. b.
Claxton, who had charge of the port
engine of the Texas on the day of the
battle off Santiago, had just taken

SECRETARY LONG TO RESIGN.
Other Members of Cabinet Will Prob
ably Finish Their Terms,


Washington, Sept. 21.-After sus-
pension of three days as a mark of
respect to the dead president the busi-
ness of the government at Washington
was resumed yesterday The train
bearing President Roosevelt and his
cabinet arrived at the Pennsylvania
station at 9:20 o'clock and Is minutes
later the president entered the white
house and was joined almost immedl-
ately by Secretary Long, who did not
go to Canton to take part in the fu-
neral ceremonies. Soon afterward
Senator Cullom called to pay his re-
spects, and following him came Sen
ator Proctor, one of the presidents
close personal friends.
At IL o'clock all the members Of
the cabinet had arrived at the white
house and soon were seated around
the familiar table. President Roose-
welt occupied a seat at the head and
in the chair long occupied by his pre-
decessor. 1t all seemed strange to
these devoted advisers of the dead
president, to sit at the table without
him at Its head. and the gloom and
solemnity which characterized the
meeting was not unbeitting the occa-
sion. Nearly all of the members of
the present cabinet are quite sure to
remain during Mr.. Roosevelt's term,
but 1t is very probable that Secre-
tary Long will retire within the next
few months.

STEEL MILLS ARE REsuMINe.
Thousands of Workmen Return to
Their Former Positions.

Pittsburg, Sept. 21.-With few ex.
ceptions work was resumed at least in
a measure at the combine steel mills
yesterday and it the disgruntled tin
workers can be conciliated, by next
Monday all the plants will be in full
operation. The Pennsylvania and
Continental tube mills and the Elba
iron works in this city started up last
night and were running in full by
morning. Preparations were made for
the starting on Monday of the New.
castle plant of the National Steel com.
pany, employing 1000 men. 1t is also
expected that the Riverside iron
works at Wheeling will start Mon.
day and that the Wood sheet plant
at McKeesport will receive its 1000
workmen on that morning.
Among the tin workers the feeling
against returning to work unless the
union is recognized is still strong. but
influences are at work which, it is
hoped, will induce the strikers to re.
consider their heated determination
before any rash move is made.

Failure to Extend Aid.
Pittsburg, Sept. 24.-President Shat.
fer OF the Amalgamated association
has prepared an exhaustive statement,
reviewing the incidents of the late
strike of the steel workers. The cir
cular will be mailed at once to all the
lodges OF the association. The inter.
estlng feature OF President Shaffer's
statement is his severe criticism of
other labor organizations, especially
the American Federation of Labor, for
their failure to come to the aid of the
Amalgamated association. He is espe-
clally severe in his criticism of those
labor leaders who promised assistance
and failed to keep their agreement
There was a general resumption at
all the mills here and at McKeesport
yesterday, except at the tin plate mills,
which We're working with the same
forces as last week. The strikers had
pickets on active duty again at the
Star and Monongahelas tin plate plants
in this city and strong force of po-
lice were also on hand to prevent riot
ing.

.5HElLNER DlsAGREEs WITH MAI
HE HELPED MAKE.

Bates Examined-Schroeder of the
Massachusetts, Talks of the Coal
Supply-Bring in Sampson's Name.
Washington, Sept. 24.-The8 part
the battle of Santiago on July 8,
1898, in which the Spanish fleet under
Admiral Cervera was sunk, was the
basis of the greater part of yester-
days proceedings of the naval board
of inquiry. Three witnesses exam
ined had been officers on board the
Texas during the battle, and two OF
them were new witnesses. These
were Commander George G. Heilner,
who was the navigator on the Texas,
and Commander Alex B. Bates, a who
was the chief engineer on that battle
ship.
Commander Harber, executivex off,
4 Ger and the chief surviving officer OF
the ship since the death of Captain
Philip, was recalled. The fourth
witness was Commander Seaton
Schroeder, executive officer on the
Massachusetts, and now governor of
the island of Guam.
The testimony several times dur
ing the day was somewhat exciting
and it was especially so when Com
mander Heilner described the battle
and the part the Texas had taken in
it. He said that when the Brooklyn
made its loop it, passed the Texas
bow at a distance not to exceed 100
to $50 yards, and that by the COM
mand of Captain Philip the Texas
had been brought to dead stop. En-
gineer Bates testified that the star
board engines had been stopped and
said he thought this also had hap
pened to the port engines. Com
mander Heilner expressed the opinion
that three miles had been made in the
maneuver and that part of the ma
chinery was deranged. He said the
Texas was in greater danger when
the Brooklyn crossed her bow than at
any other time during the battle.
On cross-examination, Commander
Heilner admitted taking part in the
preparation of the official navy de-
partment chart showing the positions
at different times OF the ships that
participated in the battle. He said
that according to this chart the two
ships were never nearer than 600
yards of each other. But he con-
tended that the chart was inaccurate,
and he had only consented to it as a
compromise
AT the instance of Captain Parker,
Commander Bates examined the
steam log book of the Texas and failed
to find any mention of the reversal of
the engine, while he admitted that
other matters which Captain Parker
characterized as comparatively unim-
portant were noted there.
Commander Schroeder testified
concerning the coal supply of the
Massachusetts. which he said would
have been sufficient for blockade OF
16 to 20 days. The day closed with
