Inander.

Washington, Sept. 30.-,Spl)-At the
Schley court today, Commander Miller,
who had charge of the Collier Merri-
mack, said that on May 26, he could
have coaled at sea. On May 23 and
n, he conled the Iowa and Massa-
chusetts, Commander Miller's records
showed that up to May % he had
coaled nearly every ship in tho flying
squadron.
The point in the evidence before
the naval court of inquiry that will
probably be most emphasized when
the final arguments are made, is tn
fact that disobedience of orders was
not unusual during the war.
Capt, Jewell, of the Minneapolis,
who was on the stand today In reply
to question said he never told
Schley he had seen nothing of Ger
vera's fleet about Santiago schley,
In his official report, made before the
beginning the retrograde movement
toward Key West. said that Slgshee,
Jewell and Wise had been around
Santiago for week and told him
they had seen nothing of Cervera's
feet
When cross examined by Raynor,
Jewell said the Captains of the four
scouts assembled on the Harvard ON
May %, and held consultation,
have no knowledge of any communlca-
ton made by Sigsbee in my name or
that of others to Schley.'

Guards
Vault.
Two Men at West Lawn
Cemetery.
Attempt to Blow Up
Presidents Tomb.

Canton, o., Sept. 30,-(Spl) Two
masked men made an attack on the
guards who are at the vault in West
Lawn cemetery, where the remains
of President Mckinley are lying, Sat
urtlay night. 1t is difficult to obtain
particulars of the attack, as the men
who are on guard are prevented by
Va military rule, from giving their
versions of the affair
1t is said that at 1880 Saturday night,
Private Deprend, who was ON guard
on the top of the vault, thought he
saw face peering at him from some
trees at a little distance from the
vault. He watched closely for 20 min
utes and then saw Il man come from
behind the tree and get behind one
about ten feet nearer to the tomb.
He hailed the man, who paid no at
tention to him. He was ready to fire.
when a second man appeared and
threw mp his gun, so that the bullet
was shot in the air. The second man
also tried to stab him with IA huge
knife, and succeeded in cutting two
holes in his uniform, but did not reach
the soldiers skin.
In the struggle Deprent fell and
rolled from the vault and before he
could rise or summon assistance both
of his assailants had escaped.
Tla al. ,.,
attempt to assault the guard at Me-
kinley's tomb. 1t is generally be-
lieved that there was an attempt to
blow M the tomb though some hold
! that the assault was the work of iail
b'rds who escaped from city prison
last night and were bent on getting
weapons from the guards to protect
themselves from pursuit. The sol.
diers are prohibited from talking of
the matter. Additional guards will
be stationed about the cemetery.

Managers |. +, Druckemiller and w
i. Laubnch OF the telephone compan'
les, called ON Mayor Doyle Monday
morning and asked that he recommend
to the Board of City Commissioners
that number of special policemen
be appointed to guard the new EN-

as there has been no disposition on the
part Of the strikers TO do violence to
the new men, Mayor Doyle declined
to make the recommendation. He in
formed Messrs. Druckemiller and Lau
bach that in case any tendency were
observed ON the part of strikers te

stamps It as one of the most digni-
fed and conservative ecclesiastical
bodies meeting i'm America, consisting,
as it does. of all the bishops i'll the
church, together with prominent rec
tors, pastors of large and influential
parishes. Meeting with them as dele
gates are men whose names are ia
miliar in every walk of life drawn
from every professions men proml-
nent in the financial world, from the
legal and medical profession and COM
mercc.
The legislation to be enacted at this
convention is most important. Chief
among the questions to be acted upon
is the proposed canon prohibiting
priests of the church from marrying
divorced persons no matter on what
grounds the divorce was secured. The
present law permits the mar
