IN BEHALF OF SCHLEY.
Raynor Wakes Eloquent In Behalf Of the
Hero Of SANTIAGO.

Washington, Nov. 6-Upon the open
ing of the Schley court of inquiry today
Capt. Parker concluded his argument in
about 20 minutes and was followed by
schley's chief counsel, Raynor, who
closed the argument for the applicant.
Raynor was eloquence itself. Without
cssting the slightest imputation upon
any officer of the American feet, he said
he did declare that Schley was the vic.
tim OF an unfortunate chain of circum.
stances that left him in total darkness as
to the location of the Spanish fleet.
Nelson had chased the French feet
twice across the sea; Nelson was criti-
cised, maligned; but when the thunders
OF Trafalgar reached over the sea and
the blood of Nelson anointed the deck
OF the Victory, shouts had arisen from
England's bosom that can never die as
it rolls upon the advancing tide of cen.
turtles. And so with Schley.
Raynor said that Lieut.. Potts name
will echo through the ages OF undying
fame; when Manila shall be forgotten
and Santiago buried in oblivion the name
of Potts shall live.
Liberty OF the Press.
"The question here isn't whether
Schley made an error of judgment. The
question is, Was he honest? Did he act
according to the dictation of his own
conscience? Did he do his duty to his
country" continued Raynor, who then
proceeded to deliver few jabs at Capt.
Harbor and Lieut.. Bristol Of the Texas.
The Schley- HOdgsOn cOllouuy. in which
Schley was alleged to have said, Damn
the Texas" he disposed of thus: "The
trouble about all this is that the New
Yerk Sun was taken too seriously. Never
quarrel with a newspaper unless you
own one yourself. Never interfere with
the liberty of the press. 1t will be all
right when you die, they will be with
you then. 1t was case OF confding in
nocence on one side, business enterprise
on the other"
Raynor reviewed eloquently the part
taken by the Brooklyn in the battle of
July 3.

Five thousand Additional British Troops 70
Go to South Africa,

London, Nov. 5.-It is understood to
be the intention of the War Office to
send 5,0)O more mounted men out to
South Africa during the next six weeks.
There are only about 1000 mounted men
at home, so that the military authorities
are faced with the problem of training
soldiers minus the necessary accom- ani.
ment Of calvary arms. 70 meet this
obvious failing 1t If probable that several
composite regiments OF veomanry will be
voluntarily embodied for home service.
A move will soon be made to bring home
from South Africa the men who have
served over two years in the war and
their places may be taken by the British
cavalry division OF seven regiments now
in India: After the conclusion Of hostil.
tiles it is expected that a permanent
garrison at the Cape will consist Of so, 600
men.

THANKSGIVING.
President Roosevelt Issues the Usual Procla.
mation.-Novembsr 20 the Day,

President Roosevelt Issues the Usual Procla.
mation-Novsmbsr 2S the Day.
Washington, D. c., Nov. 2.-President
Roosevelt today issued his proclamation
fixing Thursday, November %, as a day
Of national thanksgiving. 1t follows :
"a PROCLAMATION.
1.-THE season is nigh when, according
to the time-hallowed custom of our peo-
pie, the President appoints day as the
especial occasion for praise and thanks
giving to God.
This Thanksgiving finds the people
still bowed with sorrow for the death OF
a great and good President. We mourn
President Mckinley because we loved
and honored him, and the manner of his
death should awaken in the breasts Of
our people keen anxiety and a reso-
lutte purpose not to be driven by any
calamity from the path Of strong, or
derby popular liberty, which, as nation,
we have thus far safely trod.
"Yet, in spite of this great disaster it
is nevertheless true that no people on
earth have such abundant cause for
thanksgiving as we have. The past year
in particular has been one of peace and
plenty. We have prospered in things
material and have been able to work for
our own uplifting in things intellectua,
and spiritual. Let us remember thatl
ash much has been given us, much will
be expected from us, and that true HON.
age comes from the heart rs we'll % from
the lips and shows itself in deeds. We
can best prove our thankfulness to the
Almighty by the way in which, on this
earth and at this time, each of US does
his duty to his fellow men.
"Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose-
welt, President of the United States, do
hereby designate AZ q day of general
thanksgiving, Thursday, the 28th of this
present November, and do recommend
that throughout the land the people
cease from their wonted occupations and
at their several homes and places of
worship thank the Giver of all Good for
the countless blessings of our national
life.
"In witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
"Done at the city of Washington, this
second day of November, in the year Of
our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and one, and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and
twenty-sixth.
(Seal) THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

ENDED
COUNSEL IN SCHLEY CASE FIN.
ISH ARGUMENTS.
All That Now Remains d the Consideration
Of the Testimony and the Formulation
Of the Verdict by the Court y un ley
Closes for tho Proseculion-Record Gov.
srs Gully 1000 Printed Pages.

Washington, Nov. o. After sitting
covering forty days, and with record
which, when completed. will cover about
1900 pages, the Schley court of inquiry,
at 3 :45 this afternoon, adjourned its last
public session. To Capt. S. c. Lemly,
the judge advocate, had been assigned
the duty of making the closing argu-
ment in the case, and soon after he had
finished his speech Admiral Dewey,
bringing down his gavel on the big, fiat
table, said:
"There being no further business, the
court is adjourned"
AS was the case yesterday, when Mr..
Raynor spoke, the attendance was large.
There was only one session during the
day. 1t began at o'clock, and the EN-
tire time was taken up with Capt. Lem
ly's address. He read his speech in clear
and distinct tones, and was given careful
att, ntion. The speech, in the main, was
an analysis of the testimony, but occa-
sionally conclusion was drawn, and FREE
quently there was criticism of the course
pursued by Admiral (then commodore
Schley. Speaking of Commodore Schley's
conduct Capt. Lemly said:
From my knowledge of the man,
having served under the commodore on
two cruises, have never believed, nor
do claim from the evidence. that per-
sonal misconduct-or, to call spade a
spade-cowardice, was exhibited by Com
modore Schley in any part of his career
as commander.in-chief of the flying
squadron. But l submit, with regret,
that in the passage from Key West to
Cienfuegos, while at the latter port en-
route to the southwark of Santiago with
out settled destination, in the retrograde
movement. in the return to the vicinity
of Santiago, and in the affair of May 81,
the commodore exhibited unsteadiness
in purpose and in push and failure to
obey ORDERS"
Closing Scenes
This statement was made toward the
close Of Capt. Lemly's remarks. After
the adjournment the members of the
court, Admiral Schley and counsel lin
gered for time about the hall in which
they recently have spent so much of their
time, and there were many affectionate
words of farewell spoken. Admiral
Schley, as usual, was called upon to re-
ceive the greetings of number of adj
mirers, and hundred or more people
waited at the door of the hall to bid him
adieu.
Capt. Lemly used no formality in be-
ginning his address when the court con-
vened but, rising quietly from his seat
opposite the tribunal, began to read. He
said at the outset that his plan contem-
plated first, a response to certain state
ments Of Admiral Schley's counsel, and
then a presentation of the subject in
hand on an independent basis. He re-
quested to be corrected if he should make
any errors Of facts. He then entered
upon careful analysis Of the testimony
brought out at the hearing.
With the conclusion of Capt. Lemly's
remarks the court, at 3:45 p. M, ad-
with the intention of holding |
no more public sessions.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1901-06-17

An American had quite an amusing
experience recently while on a trip
through Switzerland While standing
up in a moving train his foot slipped,
and he fell against the window, which
caused it to break, without the pieces
falling out. The conductor immediate
ly went to him and demanded the usu-
al fine of 31a francs go cents, which
was paid, receipt being given.
A few stations beyond where the ac-
cident occurred the crew was changed,
but the American went on as far as
Basle. When he arrived at this termi-
nus, he waited until most of the people
had left the car and then he threw his
dress suit case with all his force
through the broken window. He was
at once surrounded by the station mas
ter, his assistants and everybody of au-
thority within the station, but as he
claimed not to understand them there
was much gesticulation and talk until,
just as the American was about to be
arrested, an interpreter was found to
whom he showed his receipt, to the as
tonishment of the authorities and the
amusement of the bystanders.
