relation to the fire on the Colon or other
wise?
Witness-I was told shortly before we
started into the entrance that the commodore
wished to see the turret officers in the pilot
house. 1 went to the pilothouse and the
commodore said that he intended to go in
a few moments and have a try on the
Colon and that he hoped we would pink her.
l asked what speed We would make and
was told "about ten knots" 1 remarked at
the time that I thought that was giving US
very little chance at the Colon, as she would
be in sight between the headlands only
couple of minutes and that the smoke from
the guns probably would make our fire very
slow. To the best of my recollection the
commodore stated we would have to do the
best we could; that the speed would be ten
knots.
Lieutenant Francis Boughton, who was
a watch and division officer on board the
Marblehead during Commodore Schleys
blockade Of Santiago, was called. He said
that during that time the Marblehead and
the Vixen were on picket duty between the
short line and the line of the blockade,
the Marblehead being stationed three
miles from the shore and to the westward
six miles from the MORO. He would not
attempt to say how far outside the squad
ron was. but he could not see the ships
after nightfall.

Witnesses Examined
To-day.

Washington, Oct 11-After the wit
nesses of yesterday had been recalled TO
day in the Schley court for the purpose

nett, both Of whom served on the flag
ship New York; Lieutenant Albert Alt
house Of the Massachusetts; Lieutenant
Francis Boughter of the Marblehead, and
Lieutenant William H. Reynolds, who
was signal officer on board the Texas.
Captain Lemly had supposed that he
would be able to conclude the presenta-
tion Of the governments side of the case
by the close of the week, but he now finds
that he will still have several witnesses
on his list when the court adjourns to-
morrow. In all probability he will con-
sumo the greater part 9f the first hall
of next week. Mr.. Rayner estimates that
the seGurt will be able to conclude its
work before the middle of November
Among the witnesses called for the pur-
pose Of correcting their testimony was
Admiral H. G. Taylor. He was questioned
as to whether he had received information
that the Spaniards were coming out Of the
harbor at Santiago before they made their
appearance on the morning of July g.
The question was asked by Captain
Lemly and the answer was:
None whatever.
Mr. Rayner-You did not get a message
from the Vixen in reference to smoke coming
out Of the harbor?
Witness-None.
Captain Parker-Your attention was not
called to sn oke?
Wtness-Not at all, sir.
Captain Parker-Do you remember anybody
on your vessel who did observe smoke and
reported 1t to you?
Wtness-I do not remember.

tailed the movements of that vessel in
connection with the flying squadron. In
reply to question as to whether he had
made any notes concerning the engage
ment, he replied:
mo, we went in under instructions to
sink the Colon" His orders had been to
direct his fire at that vessel.
When Lieutenant Althouse was excused
Captain Lemly introduced as evidence the
reports made by Commodore Schley to the
secretary OF the navy OF the engagement
of May 81. In one Of these, dated June

The reconnaissance was intended principally
to injure and destroy the Colon. The fire

by Gov. Van SAINT.


The opening meeting of the convention
was held last night, fully 1900 delegates
and visitors being in attendance. j. Wal

ductory song service, the audience joining
In the singing of familiar church hymns.
Rev. A. B. Phillput delivered the invoca-
tion, and then the presiding officer, Mrs.
0. A. Burgess, introduced A. T. Ankeny,
president of the state normal board, who
formally welcomed the women of the
Board of Missions to Minneapolis, and in
formed his hearers that it was the city's
aim to make their stay here so pleasant
that they would want to come again.
Governor Van SAINT spoke briefly in be-
half of the state, remarking jocularly that
Minnesota was so big that Ohio could be
tucked away in its northern counties so
safely that its presence would never be
noticed, unless the Ohioans should clamor
for office. He then referred to Minnesota
as the great bread and butter state and
gave the visitors welcome to plenty Of
both with 'lots Of pie thrown in Con-
tinuing, the governor referred to Dennis
Sewell, and congratulated Minneapolis
upon the work being done to care for his
family. In closing he said that both
Minneapolis and the state at large would
be the better for the convention having
come here.
Benjamin L. Smith, corresponding sec
retary of the American Christian Mis-
sionary society, made the closing address.
He said that members of the Christian
church would have to amend their prayers
and ask the Lord to let them come to
Minneapolis, when they died, if they
were not good enough to 60 to heaven.
A telegram of regret was read from
Former Governor Drake of Iowa, who was
prevented from attending the convention
by sickness, his first absence In twenty
years. S. H. Hall of the Commercial
club spoke briefly, welcoming the dele
gates and their friends to the city in be-

church conventions; and by far the great
er number of them had been unable to
leave the fields to which they had been as
signed.
The meeting this morning was essen
TALLY a gathering Of women. However,
there were many men in the audience;
men who take keen interest in the work
done by the woman's board and who were
unwilling to absent themselves from its
deliberations.
For the reception of this concourse the
exposition auditorium had been decorated
with autumnal leaves. the beautiful red
tints forming a most pleasing contrast
against their background. The balcony
rail was almost concealed by oak leaves
displaying all the rich coloring and vivid
tints Of which nature alone is mistress
The speakers platform, too, was en-
livened with the same brilliant hues, and
on the walls hung maps and charts, Illus
trative of the church's work in foreign
lands and of its growth at home.
The delegation from Indiana was the
only one which brought banner, but 1t
was displayed conspicuously over the seats
assigned to the Indiana representatives.
A feature illustrative of the enthusiasm
Of the convention was the singing. There
was no instrumental music, but whenever
A hymn was announced, the audience rose
to it's feet, and every man and woman in

singing was under the direction Of ].
Walter Wilson of Indianapolis.
Throughout all the addresses the
dominant note was that of individualism
in religion. The various speakers all
took occasion to sound this theme and TO
make, at the same time. plea for
Christian unity, and the abolition OF
creed. A feature of the session was the
address Of Mrs. David Owen Thomas OF
this city on The Omnipotence Of Truth
and Union"
Mrs. o. A. Burgess Of indianapolis,
president OF the board, presided over the
meeting, but contented herself with max
ing a very brief Introductory speech. She
gave the delegates formal welcome to the
convention, and announced that the mes
sage she might be expected to give them
would be found. in the printed pamphlets
which would be distributed through the
audience.
The attendance at the afternoon session
was somewhat larger than that OF the
morning meeting, the later trains having
brought into the city large number OF
delegates and visitors who had been un-
able to arrive in time for the opening.
Miss Matte C. Burgess led in prayer at
the opening of the session, following
which Ernest Wiles, director of Bible
work at the University of Michigan, de-
Hvered a most interesting address on
University Bible Work From the Stu
dents Standpoint" Mr.. Wiles said that
the big colleges and universities Of the
country present fertile field for mis-
sionary work, and added that he had been
greatly pleased at the results Of the work
in the institution with which he is con-
nected. He thought that students were
coming to appreciate the Bible more ana

as for its teachings.

1t was raining when the governor, ac-
companied by the reception committee,
arrived at the station No one had

a ticket to the governor. Lieutenant Nc

This is Governor Odell," said Thomas

CONVENTION WORK BEGINS
The WOmRn's Board of Missions
Holds First Session.


Charles A. Young Of Illinois was the
first speaker in this mornings session
before the Christian Woman's Board Oh
Missions. Mr.. Young spoke of the great
influence had upon Christian thought by
the Apostle Paul, who, he said, had lett
the imprint of his thought upon Chris
tianity more noticeably than any other
of the apostles. The speaker regarded
Paul's Epistles to the Galatians, the Two
to the Corinthians, and the Epistle 70 the
Romans as the greatest OF his writings
They had been the OutgroWth OF Paul
struggles and consequently were stronger
and more virile than his other work. Faul
stood for the freedom of the individual
Christian, and, according to Mr. Young
believed in Christians settling questions
of creed for themselves, instead of trust
ing blindly to the leadership of bishops or
other church dignitaries. He was the
apostle of individualism, and taught men
that it was unnecessary to follow the
tenets of the Judaized Christians in order
to be saved. I'm fact" said the speaker,
Paul held up the hope that ultimately
the Jew as well as the gentle, was TO
be saved
Although 1t was written before Paul be-
came Christian. Mr.. Young argued that
the Epistle to the Romans was mantfestly
inspired. A comparison between the
seventh chapter of that epistle, the chap
ter in which Paul presents to his readers
a picture Of sin, with the best work Of
Dante, Shakspere or Tennyson, would
prove 1t to be so. Tennyson's story Of
Launcelot and Guinevere, he considered
q great piece of literary work, master
piece, but in no way comparable with
PauHs epistles. The one was human, the
other inspired.

MAY MEAN DEATH
Bulgaria Too Energetic in Hunting
the Brigands.

Washington, Oct. 11.-Bulgarias eff
fort to rescue Miss Stone may, it is
feared, lead to her death.
From what the Washington authorities
have been inclined to criticize as dilatori-
ness, the Bulgarian government has
jumped to the utmost energy in connec-
tion with Miss Stones case. Advices re-
ceived by the state department show that
military force has been set in motion
against the mountain stronghold in which
the brigandS and their captive have taken
refuge.
Consul General Dickinson fears that II
an attack is made, the brigands will. not
hesitate to murder Miss Stone. He is
making urgent representations to the
Bulgarian government to direct its force
to await the result of negotiations with
the brigands before authorizing the at
tack.
Once the woman is liberated, this gov
ernment will urge Bulgaria to take Wig
orous measures for the arrest and pun
ishment Of all concerned in Miss Stone s
abduction

Consul General Dickinson and Secretary of

Heavy drafts are made this month The

the cash balance may be entirely ex-
