Admiral Takes Exception to Precept
-- to Court of Inquiry.

~. to Court of Inquiry.
K Washington, July 31.-Admiral
Schley has formally acknowledged the
receipt of the precept appointing a
court of inquiry to investigate his con-
duct during the Santiago campaign.
Schley expresses qualification at the
character of the court which will make
the investigation. The precept is gen.
orally satisfactory, with the excep-
ton of the fifth specification, which
directs court of inquiry into: CIR
cumstances attending and the reason
for the disobedience by Schley of the
orders of the department. contained
in the dispatch of May 25, 1898. and
the propriety of his conduct in the
premises"
Schley contends that he is not guilty
Of disobedience of orders. In prepare
ton Of the specification to which the
exception is taken, the department
took into consideration Schley's cable
gram, dated May %. stating:
much to be regretted, cannot obey
orders of department"
1t is commended on behalf of Schley
that cannot obey orders" is very diff
ferent from "disobedience of orders"
The weather conditions were such
when he arrived at Santiago as to
make it impossible to coal any ships
of his squadron. In the same dis
patch stated: "Have striven earnest
ly, forced to proceed for coal to Key
West"
Admiral Schley thinks that the pre-
cept covers the subject. thoroughly.
With the department, he believes that
as the Maclay book is based upon
charges made against him. it will
stand or fall upon the verdict of the
court,

Late Crop In Nebraska, Kansas, OK.

in States East Of the Mississippi
Critical Conditions Prevail-LittIe
Damage Done to Wheat In North
Dakota and Northern Minnesota.
Washington, July 31.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
iitions is as follows:
Intense heat prevailed during the
greater part of the week throughout
The Central valleys, but the tempera-
lures during the last three days were
more moderate. Good rains have fall
en- over large part of the drouth area
in the Mississippi and Upper Missouri
valleys, but drouth conditions have
become most serious in the Ohio val
ley and Tennessee, where the week
has been rainless, except in few To-
calities. In the Atlantic coast districts
the weather conditions have been gen.
orally favorable, except over portions
of the Carolinas and Virginia, where
rain is now needed The conditions
were also favorable on the Pacific
coast.
Recent rains have improved late
corn in portions of Nebraska, Kansas,
Oklahoma and Missouri, but the early
crop was practically ruined before the
rains came.
In Iowa the crop has sustained less
injury than in the aforementioned
states, and the rainfall has been CO.
pious and we'll distributed. In the
great corn states east Of the Missis-
sippi river, except over Northern n.
linois, drouth and excessive heat have
continued with disastrous effects upon
corn, which is now u
In a Critical Condition.
In Michigan and generally through.
out the Middle Atlantic states and
New England, the corn crop Is in fine
condition. Winter wheat harvest is
general on the North Pacific coast
with good yields. ..
Harvesting of spring wheat is well
advanced over the southern portion OF
the spring wheat region, and has be.
gun in the Southern Red River val
ley. Premature ripening has reduced
the yield and quality of the crop over
the southern portion of the spring
wheat region, although the threshing
returs show better yields In Iowa
than were anticipated. In North Da
kota and Northern Minnesota the crop
has sustained but little injury from
heat
Dat harvest continues in the more
northerly sections. having been de-
layed by rains in Michigan. Reports
of premature ripening continue from

RESULT OF TRANSFERS STRIKE
Twenty-Five Thousand Men Out at San
Francisco.

Twenty-Five InouSano wen Gut at Gan
Francisco.
San Francisco, July 31.-The labor
troubles in this city reached their cul-
mination during the evening when the
Water Front Federation ordered gen.
eral strike ON the docks of San Fran
cisco. Oakland. Mission Rock and
Port Costa, to go into effect at once.
The resolution to strike, which re-
ceived the unanimous endorsement of
every delegation to the federation.
was short, but its effect will be to cause
temporary paralysis of the snlpping
business of San Francisco, such as has
not been known before. It reads as
follows: -
"The full membership of the Water
Front Federation refuses to work at
the docks of San Francisco, Oakland,
Port Costa and Mission Rock. The
steamers Bonita and Walla Walla,.
with mail and passengers now in the
stream, will be allowed to go to sea"
The meeting Of the federation was
long one and there was much heat
ed argument, but when the resolution
came to vote every delegate present
voted In favor of the strike. The fol-
lowing unions were represented, COM
prising all the workers on the water
front:
Sailors union of the Pacific, four
local unions of longshoremen, marine
firemen, brotherhood of teamsters,
ship and steamboat joiners, porters,
packers, warehousemen, ship clerks,
pile drivers and bridge builders,
hosting engineers, steam and hot
water filters and coal teamsters.
Outcome of Transfers Lockout.
This action is direct outcome of
the lockout of teamsters and will have
for it's immediate effect the cessation
of all labor in and around the great
docks Of the city about San Francisco
bay. The San Francisco Transfers
union and the Oakland Transfers
union also ordered a strike. This will
make total Of over $4,000 union
workmen who have stopped their Ia
Dor since the middle of May last, d.
vided AS follows: Water Front Fedora
ton, comprising IA organizations, 49,
600 men; machinists and iron workers,
1000: cook and walters, 1900; San
Francisco teamsters, 600; Oakland
teamsters, 1000; total number of men
out, 25,10o. FL.
The tieup will be complete If the
plans of the labor unions are success
full. They hope to stop the loading
and even to prevent the moving of
ships that are now almost ready for
departure. Unless the proprietors and
managers are able to secure sufficient
non-unionuaeld to load and man their
vessels, strike will practically
mean thu closing of the port and the
suspension Of business in the whole
sale and manufacturing sections of
San Francisco and Oakland.
The Water Front Federation has IS
sued statement in which it reviews
the situation and states that the strike
was not ordered until all honorable
means of effecting settlement had
been tried infvain.
