given IL.
The case is now I'm its fourth week and
is the longest which mas been tried i'm tho
Court of Common Pleas for several years
The most important points argued yes
tsrday were the defencc's contention that
the plaintiff was estopped from claiming
that the board Of directors was not cog
infant Of MI Wilcox s. acts. and that the
bank could not claim from Mr. Wilcox any
money lost through the Milk Producers
Association and covered 10y the two guar
autoes-onc for $4,000 and the other for
$500. MCssTs. Hughes and Bruno laid
stress on the fact that after collecting
$500 on the guarantees the bank had i'm
eject bound itself not TO sue the Euarau-
tors 10y taking part iu a sort of three
c"rncrCd scheme Of bonding. & surety
company gave bond 10 Secure the EuaTau-
tors from loss by rCtiOu of the bank and
the bank I'm turn gave bond 90 the surety
company To protect 10 from loss by it's
uhe banks action
MI WiCON's counsel argued that the
bank could have secured the whole
antoTs. who were financially able 10 pay
H.. and that Therefore NT- Wilcox should
not be- held responsible for the banks
losses Iu that direction. Mr. Bryan claim
"a that the bank had the right To- make

ON tho ether point the defence contend
cd that in the suits brought Hy the bank
Association there had been practical
ratification by the board pf Mr.. Wilcox
advances. and that the directors could
not. therefore. take the position OF not
having been informed of the condition OF
the MIX Producers account. Mr.. Bryan
commended that tho whole board Of di-

President Urges the Secretary Not

Washington, Dec. 22.-In view of the
repeated publications of late 90 the
general effect that Secretary Hay is
about 10 retire from the cabinet, a
statement is given with full authority
that Secretary Hay does not now con-
template retirement. This statement
applies not only to the present. but to
that indefinite period fixe1 by the con-
clusion of the negotiations necessary
to the construction of an isthmian
canal. Also IL is stated with equal
positiveness and authority that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has in the strongest
terms expressed to Secretary Hay his
earnest desire that he shall remain in
the cabinet, of which he forms one of
the principal props. Thus. according
to the statement, the secretary's in
clination and the presidents desires
run together and there is no foundation
for the reports that Secretary Hay is
to leave his post.

Filed by Admiral Dewey.
Washington, Dec. 22-The objection
of Admiral w. T. Sampson to that
portion of Admiral Dewey's report of
the Schley court OF inquiry in which he
says Admiral Schley was in command
at the battle off Santiago and entitled
TO the credit of the victory was filed
with Secretary Long yesterday. The
document was brought to the navy de-
paFtment by Il. $. Theall of counsel for
Admiral Sampson, and handed to the
secretary.
The department is requested 10 strike
out or specifically disapprove that por-
ton of Admiral Deweys opinion filed
in connection with the proceeding OF
the Schley court of inquiry in which he
states his views TO be that Commodore
Schley was I'm absolute command at the
naval battle off Santiago.
K First-Commodore Schley was not in
command at that battle.
Second-The president of the United
States and the navy department had
decided that Admiral Sampson was in
commend at that Battle and Commo-
dore Schley second in command.
Third-The question as 20 who COM
manded al Santiago was not referred
to the court for consideration and evil
dence upon the point was excluded.
Each of these specifications is taken

tentions upon which they found Ad-
miral SIMPSONS claims to the honor of
having commanded in the battle of
Santiago.
Capt. Lemly, judge advocate general,
yesterday handed TO Secretary Long
his answer To the bill of exceptions
filed by Admiral Schley against the
findings of the majority OF the court.

which witnessed the contest between

the army and of the navy, not to men

given out that the Minnesota Attorney
General will not take any action con-
cerning the o-called merger until after
Christmas, and perhaps not until after
New Years. He says no new legislation
is needed and hence he wants to take
time enough to investigate and ascer-
tain what existing laws, If any, are in
danger of being violated.
