JeweIed Lace Revived.

There appears to be a prospect OF the re-
Savl OF the fashion Of wearing Jeweled
lace. which was SO much in vogue In other
centuries. Il was well toward the end of

fine laces was revived; and II is expected
that resident court 20 London will do
much for the cause of laces set with gems.

"Englishmen will be startled to learn
that we have abandoned our rights I'M

apparently another instance of Lord

story of Battle of July Repeated In
SchIey Court.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Lieutenant
Commander Hodgson again occupied
the greater part of the Schley court of
inquiry yesterday as n witness. He
was followed on the stand by Captain
w. M. Folger, formerly chief Of the
bureau of ordnance Of the navy de-
partment but commander of the New
Orleans during the Spanish war. Lieu
tenant Dyson also was recalled to add
some details to his former testimony
concerning the coal supply of the
American fleet during the Santiago
blockade.
Commander Hodgson repeated and
extended his story of the battle of July
3, giving the opinion that Commodore
Schley's conduct on that occasion was
such MS that of a commander in chief
should have been. He also explained
at some length his correspondence
with Admiral Schley concerning the
alleged colloquy between them while
the Santiago engagement was in prog
ress. He said he had had no con-
troversy with the commodore, but he
repeated that the commodore had
said, damn the Texasw when told
that that vessel was in danger.
Captain Folger said that the bonn
bardments of the Cristobal Colon on
May 81 had been emincntly successful
in developing the strength of the Span
ish shore batteries and had shown
them to be very weak He also said
that If thp Spanish vpSspls had at
tempted to escape at night they could
not have been seen by the blockading
fleet in bad weather.

A CHANGE IN FORM OF WORSHIP.

school Workers In Session.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct S.-This was
q day of oratory in the house of depu-
ties of the triennial Episcopal conven-
ton. The debate which began last
Saturday on the proposed addition to
article 10 of the constitution prescrib-
ing the form of worship was continued
all day and resulted in its adoption. AS
adopted it Is as follows:
But provision may be made by
canon for the temporary use of old
forms and directories of worship by
congregations not in union with this
church who are willing to accept the
spiritual oversight of the bishop of
the diocese or missionary district"
The debate was very animated, and
until the result was made known it
was the prevailing opinion that the
vote would be much more evenly divid.
ed than it was. 1t was strongly urged
by the advocates of the proposed
change that its adoption would open
the way to great increase in the
membership of the church, while its
opponents regarded it as too radical
an innovation.
The house of bishops adopted the
amendment to article 1, section 49, of
the constitution, already approved by
the deputies, which in effect makes the
presiding bishop Of the church elective
for term of three years by a majority
of bishops. 1t was voted, in view Of
the growing Importance OF missionary
work in China to divide the district
Of Shanghai into two departments to
be known rs those of Shanghai and
HankOw. The bishops considered n
number of reports and transacted much
routine business.
The Daughters of the King elected n
council and decided to hold meetings
| triennially hereafter, preferably in the
convention city.
The American Sunday School insti-
tute elected Bishop Talbot of central
Pennsylvania president and retained
Rev. II. L. Duhring of Philadelphia as
secretary treasurer. Its sessions were
addressed by several Sunday school
workers.

ONE WRONG RICHTED
Statement Concerning Samp-
son and the Maclay Book.
APPROVAL OF HARSH TERMS DENIED
gbc Admiral Did Not Give His Con-
sent to the Publication of I'M
just Statements About
Admiral Schley.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Colonel Rob-
ert NJ Thompson of this city, presi-
dent of the United states Naval
Academy Alumni association, makes
the following statement in connection
with the Schley inquiry:
There is one story which am very
anxious should be truthfully present
ed to the public. After Maclay's book
was published Mr.. Maclay stated that
his proofs had been submitted to the
commanding officers, including Admit
raj Sampson, and that they approved
his statements. y reporter calling up
on Admiral Sampson when he was i'll
in his bed obtained from the admiral
what appeared to be confirmation of
this statement. The admiral was ask
ed If he had seen and read the proofs
of Maclay's book, and he said yes,
but unfortunately he was too i'll to go
into the matter at any length and ex-
plain everything, and so the public
was Informed and today believes that
Admiral Sampson entirely approved
the statement that Schley was a cow
ard and caitiff, which was the gist
Of Maclay's charge against Schley.
81 am in position to state the true
facts, and you may absolutely rely
upon them as the truth. The proofs
were sent by Mr.. Maclay to Admiral
Sampson with request that they
should be read and corrected. The ad-
miral at the time was not in good
health and did not wish TO undertake
the labor, but his secretary pointed out
that the Maclay history was n stand
ard one and used at the Naval academy
MS textbook. This volume brought
the history down through the period
of the Spanish war, and it was.desira
BILE that there should he no inaccura-
cies in it. The admiral therefore con-
scented to read them, and he did correct
a certain part Of them hut as soon as
he arrived at the part which contained
the statement that Schley was n cow
ard and a caitlff he was very much
angered and said the statement was one
the author had no right to make. that
It was unjust and unfair to speak of
any naval officer in such terms and de
clined to have anything further to do
with the proofs.
His secretary, impressed with the
great desrablity of having the state
nents of facts accurate and not be
lieving that he was in any way re-
sponsible for the statements of opin-
ions, did on his own account compare
the book with the records and make on
the margins number of corrections.
AS these were in the same handwrit-
Ing as those made when Admiral
Sampson was giving his personal at
tention to the corrections Mr. Maclay
was perfectly justified in his state
lnent. The order of the secretary of
the navy forbidding naval officers to
make any statement for publica ton
regarding this controversy. issued i'm
mediately after this interview, prevent
ed the above correction being officially
