H Ran ARMY.
An Order Issued Respecting the
Death of Their Late COmrade,
William Mckinley.

The grand army department ofIowa
has issued an order respecting the
death of Comrade William Mckinley.
The order says:
'It is further ordered that one page Of
the record of each post be set apart az
sacred to the memory of Comrade Will
liam Mckinley, and that so much of this
order as refers to our departed comrade
be written thereon"
Commander Metzger says:
Particularly do I desire to impress upon
you the Importance of adopting the plan
suggested by Past Commander Davis, of
appointing acommittee on delinquents. This,
If followed, will surprise you with its re-
suits. The Incidents of the past year should
convince every veteran of the Importance
of drawing together and strengthening
each other. Probably we will never have
another comrade in the presidents chair;
and gradually places of trust and emol-
ument are being filled by those of later
years. Our interests must be looked after
by ourselves. To his end does it not ap-
peal to every comrade that all veterans
should be enrolled under one amer. Com
rades, govern yourselves accordingly"

Agents In Iowa Are Trying to Get To-
sether to Form an Agree
ment on Rates.

insurance agents, in view of the re-
cent decisionby Judge Smith McPher-
son in the federal court in Council
Bluffs, + trying to get together to
form some sort of an agreement as to
rates and other matters prohibited
by the Blanchard anti-combine law.
1t is quite generally believed that the
decision of Judge Mcpherson invali-
dating the Nebraska antitrust law,
holding it to be unconstitutional, will
apply with equal force to the
Blanchard law in Iowa, since they are
very much alike. The insurance peo-
pie, however, are having trouble in
getting together. Neither the COM
panies nor all the agents are willing
to unite on this basis. In Des Moines
and elsewhere rate wars are threat
ened if such a thing is attempted. In
the meantime, the insurance people
are carrying on a campaign of educa-
ton in the state for the purpose of
informing the people and endeavor.

FAVORABLE TO sCHLEY.
Evidence Tending to Show Important
Information Withheld from Him.

S1l1l1Ac1u 1FOln HIN, -
Washington, Oct. 14.-Just before
the Schley court of inquiry adjourned
Saturday Judge Advocate Lemly made
remarks about the conduct of Mr.. Ray
ner, Admiral Schley's chief counsel,
which the latter resented. Mr.. Rayner
had attempted to introduce a state
ment prepared i'll regard to the speed
of the vessels of the flying squadron
and Capt. Lemly objected, saying that
some of the statements of Mr.. Rayner
were inaccurate. To this Mr.. Rayner
r~esponded: eff counsel makes that
statement outside of court it is false"
Before the court adjourned an ex-
PLANTATION was made on both sides
which Admiral Dewey said was salts
factory.
When Capt. Chadwick took the stand Mr..
Rayner formally addressed the court, re-
questing permission to ask the witness
two questions, which he outlined. He
called attention to his question put to Capt.
Chadwick Friday concerning a telegram
of congratulation which Admiral Sampson
had sent to Commodore Schley on May Is.
He had asked the witness If he
that message, and the witness had replied
that he did remember :. very well, and
adding: Because 1 protested against his
congratulations" Mr.. Rayner said that
this last expression was purely voluntary
on Capt. Chadwick's part and was not nee
essary in response to the Inquiry. The
questions which he stated to the court were
as follows:
"First.-When did you first learn of the
existence of dispatch Number 81"
"Second.-Did you then, in protesting
against the sending of this congratulatory
dispatch, refer to his blockade of Glen
fuegos in dispatch Number 50"
Admiral Dewey stated the court had no
objection to the questions and Capt. Lem

PRAISES HIS CHIEF.
Capt. Cook. of the Brooklyn. Says
Schley Was Brave and Patriotic.


Washington, Oct. 15.-Monday in the
Schley court of inquiry Judge Advocate
Lemly concluded presentation of testimony
for the government and the first of Admiral
Schley's witnesses was introduced. Capt.
Francis A. Cook, who commanded Admiral
Chen Commodore) Schley's flagship, the
Brooklyn, during the Santiago campaign,
and who acted, though unoficially, in the
capacity of chief of staff for the commo-
dore, was on the witness stand the greater
part of the day.
Capt. Cooks testimony was a review of
the entire campaign after Cervera's fleet,
beginning with the departure of the lying
squadron from Key West on May 10 and
concluding with the battle off Santiago July
3. He said that at first it had been be-
lleVed by both Sampson and Schley that the
Spanish fleet was in the harbor at Cienfue-
gos and that no information to the con-
trary had been conveyed to Comodore
Schley until the arrival of Capt. McCalla
on May "a; that it was Commodore Schley's
expectation to meet the Spaniards in the
open sea, and his constant care was to-
AVE coal enough for such mergenc
Just before the Schley court of inquiry
took a recess for lunch Mr.. Hanna asked
Capt. Cook: What was the conduct and
bearing of Commodore Schley under fire
on such occasion as YOU had the opportu-
nifty of observing?"
II always regarded him as an enthu-
siastically brave and patriotic officer;
never in any other way" replied the wit
ness.
Capt. Cook also testified thai he Cook
gave the order for the B%rooklyn's loop
at the battle Of Santiago and that he con-
siGered the movement eminently success
full.
Capt. Cook was followed by Lieut.. Com
mander William F. Fullam. who was Sc
Nor watch officer on the New Orleans dur
Ing the Spanish war, and former Lieut..
Joseph Beale. who as an officer on the Har-
ward, translated the cipher dispatches be-
partment carried by that vessel. Among
these dispatches was that sent by Commo-
dore Schley May IS. expressing his regret
at not having been able to obey the orders
of the department, and explaining the rea-
son why he could not do So. There are
some verbal discrepancies between the
original draft of this dispatch and the off,
ctal print of it,; and these Mr.. Beale ex-
planned.
Lieut.. Beale was the last of the govern
ment's witnesses, although Capt. Lemly
explained that he would reserve the right
to call others If occasion should demand
that he do SO. He had no sooner retired
than the first witness for Admiral Schley
was called. This proved to be the Cuban
pilot, Edwar6o NuneZ. who told Schley on
May 26, 1898, that he did not believe the
Spanish fleet under Cervers was in the har-
Dor at Santiago.
