.CHOATE LIKELY
To LOSE MISSION
May Not Return to the
Court Of st. James
as ambassador.
Americans in London Believe
Senator Wolcott Will
Be Appointed.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Oct. 9.-Joseph Choate,
United States ambassador to Great Brit
ain, with Mrs. Choate, will leave London
for New York on Saturday. Whether he
will return again in his Embassadorial ca
Is that he will not.
Since the accession of Mr.. Roosevelt to
the Presidential chair the American col
ony in London has been specializing when
change would be announced at the en-
bassy, Mr.. Choate being regarded as a
positive antithesis to the stalwart policy
as personified by Mr.. Roosevelt.
While dispatches from Washington fore
told the possible retirement of John Hay
from the Cabinet on account of differences
of opinion with the new President as TO
the foreign policy, Americans in London
predlcted that before such an event were
possible 1t was foregone conclusion that
Choate would retire, as he entertains the
same views as Hay. The Nicaragua
treaty Is regarded as the last straw call
Ing for new ambassador to the court Of
st. James.
Prior to this, when Senator Henry Cabot
Mr.. Mckinley, hastened to London and
over the head Of the Embassador had a
long conference with Lord Lansdowne
the general Idea was that the new Presi-
dent desired to ascertain the views of the
British Ministry without the intermediary
Of an Anglophile Minister. Later, when
Senator Wolcott of Colorado made a fly
ing visit to London and betrayed an un-
usual dislike to being quoted in interviews,
the opinion gained ground that here was
possibly the next representative of Amer
lea in London.

FOR THE RANSOM

on Mountain-Top on

Abductors Number Eighteen,
and Bulgarian Troops Try
to Surround Them.
Special Dispatch to The Can.

CALL BUREAU. 1406 C STREET. N.
W, WASHINGTON, Oct 9-Miss Stone
has been located on a mountain on the
TurkO-B Bulgarian frontier. She was alive
and well on Saturday last. This was the
re1ssuring information the State Depart-
ment received to-day from Consul Cen
eral Dickinson at Sofa. It strengthens
the hope entertained by the officials thai
the brtgands have no intention Of putting
Miss Stone to death and that she will be
safe Until the ransom is paid
The State Department has forwarded to
Mr.. EDDY, secretary of the legation at
ConstanUnople, who has been negotiating
Win the brlganos, a draft sent it by the
Boston Board Of Missions This draft is
only ha1f OF the sum demanded, and de-
termineo efforts are being made to induce
the brigands to accept a smaller ransom
than they seek.
It would not surprise the officials should
the Bulgarian Government send troops to
surround the mountain upon which the
brlgandS, with Miss Stone, have sought
refuge. The department dispatch is rath-
er vague, but indicates that this noun
tain Is IN Bulgarian territory. The
authorities would naturally prefer Miss
stones rescue without the payment or
ransom, but rather than that she should
be harmed they think the money should
be paid

wv Y ASHINGTON, Oct. 9-In the
W N Y Schley Naval Court OF In
WW ouiry to-day Lieutenant Marx
V v L. Bristol completed his tes-
timony begun yesterday ana
three new witnesses were introduced
They were Rear Admiral Henry {. 1ay-
lor, who as captain commanded the pat
teship Indiana during the war win
Spain; Lieutenant Commander I. M
Potts, who was navigator of the battle-
ship Massachusetts during that PERIOD
and Lieutenant Edward F. Leiper, who
was on the New Orleans during the war,
the last named being still on the stahu
when the court adjourned for the day.
Admiral Taylor related incidents OF the
battle off Santiago July 3, including the
Brooklyn's famous turn. he salo lndt ina
none of the Spanish ships had mace any
effort to ram the American vessels When
they came out of the harbor at Santlaeo'
Commander Potts testimony dealt espe-
cially with the bombardment OF the 20.
lon. Answering a question from JuuSs
Advocate Lemly as to the conduct OIL
Commodore Schley during that engage
ment, he said it was that of a man laporee
ing under great mental eXcltemenl anu %
a man who was anxious to discharge as
soon as possible a disagreeable DUTY.
Lieutenant Leiper expressed the opinion
that the Spanish shore batteries at SAN
tiago had not been at any time formloa-
BILE.
During Commander Potts examination
Mr.. Raynor secured permission from the
court to introduce as evidence the oroer
of Secretary Long to Admiral Sampson
dated April 6, in which he was admon-
ished against the exposure of the Ameri-
can vessels to the fire Of strongly fort-
fed ports. The paragraph in that order
which he especially wished to be consld-
cred reads as follows:
THE department does not wish the YES
sells of your squadron to be exposed to
the fire of the batteries at Havana, San
tiago de Cuba or other strongly fortified
ports in Cuba, unless the more formlda-
BILE Spanish vessels should take refuge
within those harbors. Even in this case
the department would suggest that a rigid
blockade and employment of our torpedo
boats might accomplish the desired OBJ
ject, viz, the destruction Of the enemy 5
vessels, without subjecting unnecessarily
our own men-of-war TO the fire or the
land batteries"
The dispatch also contains the following
order:
THE department further desires that in
case of war you will maintain a strict
blockade of Cuba, particularly at the
ports of Havana, Matanzas and, If possi-
BILE, of Santiago de Cuba, Manzanillo and
CienfuegoS."

STUPID AND CHILDISH"
cregon's Governor Uses Warm Ian
guage to Describe Schley Court.

SALEM Or, Oct. Ex-Governor Geer leaves
October II for Columbus, Ohio, to participate
in the campaign in that State, making speech
es for the Republicans. The Governor to-day,
in response to a question as to his opinion of
the Schley court Of inquiry, said:
'Of all the stupid, senseless, childish affairs
that have engaged the attention of the
Government, the Schley investigation takes the
blue ribbon without rival. One might sup
pose that some blunder had occurred at Santi-
ago by which our forces had met with defeat
and through which had been humilated
before the world. 1t is said the Brooklyn
made loop, therefore Schley should be GEN.
sured. Well, suppose loop was made; since
after the fight was over there was nothing
left to shoot at that wore Spanish colors,
it IS difficult to surmise what more could have
been expected desired. To be of sufficient
Importance to justify an investigation, it must
be true that the making Of that loop detracted
somewhat from the completeness OF an Ameri-
can victory, but since, Notwithstanding the
loop the entire Spanish fleet was swept from
the face of the sea, it makes a timid man
shudder to contemplate what might have hap
pened if. for any reason, the loop had been
neglected. By all means censure Schley for
making that loop.

RECORDS OF THE ADM1RA1s.
Sea and Shore Service Rendered by
Schley and Sampson.

Sch1ey and sampson.
Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley was
placed on the retired list to-day, having reached
the age of e2 years, at which officers Of that
grade-except those who have received a vote
of thanks by Congress-retire from active
vice in time of peace. Such. at least. is the
operation of the law in the case Of Schley, for
an act passed June 190O permitted ANY re-
tired officer during the following twelve years
to apply active duty at sea or on shore
he might be able to perform, but as the
Navy Department would have TO approve such
a request 1t is not to be supposed that the
Secretary would favor Schley to any such
tent. In the highly probable event of coming
out unscathed from the searching inquiry into
his professional conduct during the Spanish
American war 1t is most likely that the ad-
ministration will make such reparation in its
power by giving Schley such duty as he might
The service record of a little over forty-ive

tions of disobedience of orders, cowardice. ETC.,
are vet to be substantiated. 1t is asserted that
Schley was popular only with small number
of officers in the service, but the may
be said against Sampson. The latters friends,
however, were powerful and constituted the So
called navy ring at Washington and it is
difficult to conceive by what course of reason
ing the Navy Department came to the con-
as commander-in-chief was legal or proper.
There was not a single incident in that Off
cers career to single him out as "eminently
distinguished' above other officers; the con-
trary. his record was not SO good as that of
some of those of higher or the same rank.

the selection of Sampson over that of other
ranking officers has narrowed down to Schley

A New, ERectuaI and Convenient
Cure for CataPPh,

Of catarrh remedies there is no end,
but of catarrh cures there has always
been a great scarcity. There are many
remedies to relieve, but very few that
really cure
The old practice of snuffing salt water
through the nose would often relieve, and
