the second trial, when the jury rendered
a verdict awarding Mrs. Roth $500, the
upper court sustained the Supreme Court

as to ruin her business. She alleged that
the flies from the stable swarmed about
her store in such great numbers as to be
objectionable to her customers, besides
running her stock in trade.

ARRIVAL OF SENATOR FRYE.
Will Probably Confer With the
President Today.

Senator Frye, who will undoubtedly be
elected presiding officer of the Senate at
the coming session of Congress, arrived in
Washington late last night. He will call
upon President Roosevelt tcGay. An i'm
portant conference will probably be held
either at that time or in the near future.
In addition to being one of the party
leaders whose advice is liable TO be sought
on almost any subject, Senator Frye is
the senior member of the Committee on
Foreign Relations. 1t is quite likely that
the President Will draw on Senator Frye
for advice regarding his message.
A number of other members of the up
per house will appear in Washington soon

Objected to PrnisinE SchIey.
MIR. Rayner-Do you remember de-
spatch from Admiral Sampson in which
he congratulated Commodore Schiey on
lis success?
A.-Yes: / remember that because ] pro-
tested against this congratuiation and
asked Admiral Sampson why he persisted
| in it: he said Il want to encourage him.
/ said that under the circumstances L
| thought it was improper.
Mr. Rayner read the conETatulatory
| dusIsltch 1t was in reply to the one from
! Schiey to Sampson, saying that he was
b.ockading Ceryera in Santiago, and was
as follows: Congratulate you on sue
cess. Maintain close blockade at all haZ-
ards. Especially at night; very little to
fear from torpedo boat destroyers Coal
IN open sea whenever conditions permit.
Send a ship to examine Guantanamo with
view to occupying 1t as base. -
MT. Rayner-You stated that this sig
nal code with the Cuban insurgents was
not made known to Commodore Schley,
and you gave the reason why. Let me
error in point of time? Did not the Fly
ing Squadron leave Key West before
Captain McCalla got there?
A..Ys OF course; therefore 1t was not
| possible for me to communicate II to
| Commodore Schley before he left.
Another question by Mr.. Rayner
! brought out enc of the secrets of the war
| with Spain; that a telegraph operator in
| the cable office at Havana was sending
! information to the United States This
seemed to account for the failure of this
| Government to cut the Havana-Key West
| cable.
Q-From what source did the informa-
| ton come to you that the Spanish fleet
was in the harbor of Santiago?
A.-The first information we had was by
telegram from the Navy Department.
| The next information was a statement of
Captain Allen, of the Signal Corps. Lieu
tenant Staunton. of Admiral SIMPSONS
staff, had met Captain Allen on the
streets in Key West. on May 90 and had
informed him that the evening before he
had received n communication from
telegraph operator at Havana that the
Spanish fleet had gone into Santiago
Harbor. He said he was only waiting for
the evening of the Goth. as he could COM
municate with Havana only once day,
to have that information corroborated.
The fact was corroborated in the evening
ard ii was that which caused Sampson
to send the despatch TO the Navy De-
partnent and to Commodore Schley that
the Spanish feet was at Santiago.
Mr.. Rayner said he had a few more
questions to ask Captain Chadwick. but
Admiral Dewey would not consent to
have the session prolonged beyond the
regular hour OF adjournment, which had
then arrived, and declared the Court ad-
jOurned.
