Only two possible conditions could give
rise to an extension Of the steel strike to
St Louis and vicinity. according to John

tinue in their places at the Independent

the Steel Trust.

gamated Association in East st. Louis and

He Will Appear Before the Schley
Court of Inquiry if His Health
Permits.
NOW IN SERIOUS CONDITION.
Admiral Schley Has Furnished a
Partial List of the Witnesses
He Desires in His
Behalf.

REPrBI-IC SPECIAL
washington. Aug. 13.-The report that
Rear Admiral Sampson would not be a
witness before the Schley court of inquiry
ana that the Navy Department had not in
cluded him in the list of officers TO be
summoned. is false
Admiral Sampsons name is on the list of
officers to be summoned. and he is p-e-
pairing TO come to Washington to testify.
The condition OF his health is such that
he may not appear on the stand. however
He is making arrange ments to do so. but
those who have seen him lately express
grave doubts as TO his physical ability TO
undergo the ordeal of long siege in the
witness chair
Admiral sampson Very III.
Admiral Sampson has never recovered
from the strain OF the Cuban campaign.
During the year he has been sinking notice.
ably. Within the last few weeks. however.
he has been somewhat stronger. He hopes
to be able to appear in person before
the court Should he not be able. his
affidavit may be accepted.
Acting Secretary Hackett OF the navy
to-day made the following statement:
The court will convene on the l2th Of
September. What witnesses will be brought
III Oh
Schley is for the Admiral himself to say.
No one can possibly know what witnesses
the court is going to summon before them.
Admiral Schley's Witnesses.
The Judge Advocate Of the court. on the
18th of July addressed letter to Admiral
Schley requesting the Admiral to commu-
nicate with him in regard 70 the witnesses.
and IL any OF them were located at n dis
tance from Washington. whom he might
wish to have appear before the court. This
was done because IL was taken for granted
that most OF them were officers of the navy.
IL is highly important that they should be
within reach when wanted to testify.
Admiral Schley responded with a partial
list Of those whom he thought he would
be likely to want present. stating that
there would doubtless be others. He was
told that he would have a right TO call
others as Witnesses and also Informed that
some OF the persons named by him might
possibly be called by the Judge Advocate.
The whole thing Is in the preliminary
stage. to see to 1t that the officers of the
navy. who are cognizant OF the facts in
volved. will be where they can be reached
In season TO attend as witnesses il needed"
Beyond this statement. Mr.. Hackett de-
clined TO answer specific questions as to
particular witnesses. and especially as to
whether Admiral Sampson was on the list
by the Judge Advocate of the
court. and he further announced that here
after he would decline to answer all in
quiries regarding matters relating to the
Schley court.
