New York, Dec. 1S.-The general
committee appointed yesterday at the

committee on plans and scope, upon
which Senator Hanna, Archbishop

of this conference" he said. 1--WE are
at work on it, and in time it will be
made public. I believe every man

Dor and capital no man can deny his

past has arisen from misunderstand-
ings. Never were truer words spoken
than by John Mitchell when he who
has seen more strikes than any man
of his age in the country, said there
never was a strike which could not
have been averted if the opposing in
terests had first met and fairly consid-
cred their respective rights

to the majority findings of the court OF
inquiry viii, be ready for presentation 10
the secretary of thesnavy today,
BILL OF EXCEPTIONS FILED.
Washington, D. c., Dec. 1s.-Admiral
Schley's counsel late this afternoon pre-
sented to the secretary of the navy MS
bill of exceptions to the findings OF the
majority of the court of inquiry. The
bill concludes with the statement that
the proceedings of the majority OF the
court were irregula ; that Admiral
Schley's rights had been prejudiced ana
that his testimony in many particulars
was not considered and that the evil
dence is absolutely Insufficient to sustain
the opinion rendered and that therefore
grave and irreparable damage has been
done to Schley.
Admiral Schley also served notice that
if Admiral Sampson objects to the ind
ing of Admiral Dewey he will claim the
right to be heard in reference to such
objection.
In regard to the last claim, Secretary
Long informed counsel that it was not
the practice of the department to have
oral hearings on matters of this kind.
He intimated he would entertain written
argument.
