scHLEY COURT OF INQUIRY.
ton" Begins the Presenta-
tiOn of Its Case.

Washington, Nov. 5.-The Schley
court of inquiry reached the argu.
ment stage at the beginning of the
afternoon session yesterday. The
morning sitting was devoted to listen.
ing to Admiral Schley and Capt. Sigs-
bee in making corrections of their
testimony, which had been given pre-
viously, and the introduction by
Judge-Advocate Lemly of numerous
documents bearing upon different
phases of the inquiry.
Admiral Schley did not make any
material additions to his previous
statements, but devoted himself large
ly TO the clearing up of ambiguous
points in his evidence An effort vas
made to introduce two new witnesses
who were expected to give testimony
in Admiral Schley's behalf concern
ing the controversy as 10 what in
formation was communicated 10 Ad-
miral Schley when he arrived off SAN
tiago in May, 1898. One OF these wit
nesses was Frank Il. Richards. and
the other George Lynch, both of New
York, and both newspaper corre-
spondents, who were on duty in Cuba
and in Cuban waters during he war
with Spain. Mr.. Lynch was on the
press boat Somers n. Smith. md Mr..
Richards on the Premier. They were
to have testified concerning the meet
ing of those vessels with the St. Paul.
of which Capt. Sigsbee was in com
mand. The conrt, however, decided
not to hear them.
The opening speech of the argu-
ment in the case was made in behalf
OF the government by Mr.. L. p. Ham
ma, assistant to the Judge advocate.
He began his presentation Of the case
a few minutes after the court con-
vened at two o'clock, and when the
court adjourned two hours later he
had not covered more than half of
the ground involved in the contro-
versy.

Ferris Wheel Park. Chicago, Nov.
lth.--Capt. A. II. Bogardus, the cham
pion wing shot of the world, has
spent the summer here. His shooting
school has been one Of the features
Of the Park during the season. lie
has given many exhibitions and his
skill with the rife il superb.
The Captain tells of very close
call he once had when living at Elk
hart, III. He had been a sufferer from
Kidney disease for several years and
II rapidly developed into Brights Dis
ease. All his friends told him that
this was incurable and that he would
never get better.
To say that he was alarmed is TO
put IL very mildly. This plucky man
had faced many dangers and it made
him sick at heart to think that at last
he was to be conquered by such q
cruel foe.
At last he heard Of medicine that
had cured many such cases,--Dodd's
Kidney Pills. He used them and was
completely restored to good health.
He says:--'I attribute my present
good health to Dodd's Kidney Pills

'PAUN(EEO1E IS READY.
Lord Pauncefote, the British Am.
bassador, Calls Officially
Upon Secretary Hay.
READY 10 60 TO WORK ON NEW TREATY.
The Condition Of the Convention 10
Mt Present Merely In the Form oi
Protocols, which viii he Tra"s-
ferred Into the Form Of Formal
Treaty without Delay.

Washington, Nov. 5.--Lord Paunce-
fote, the British ambassador, called
upon Secretary Hay to announce
formally TO the secretary his return
from a vacation in England and his
readiness to undertake at once the
conclusion of the new Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty. The interview lasted
about half an hour. Many topics
were touched upon beside the treaty,
which was not given particular con-
sideration. the conversation on that
point being rather preliminary to the
beginning of the treaty drafting
Lord Pauncefote did not bring with
him to the state department q copy
of the proposed convention. In fact,
for although the principal points of
the treaty have been agreed upon be-
tween the two principals, they have
yet to be transferred from protocols
into formal treaty. This work of
transference will begin in about
week, according TO the present ex-
pectation, and if it proceeds steadily
after that time, the new treaty Will
be in shape for submission to the SEN
ate immediately after that body con-
yenes next month.
Lord Pauncefote did not bring to
Secretary Hay any late news respect
ing the views of the British govern
ment as TO the treaty. The secre-
tary had been advised so fully by Am.
bassador Choate at their conference
at New Haven Of the details of what
had been done in London, and the ca
bic reports had been SO complete that
there was nothing new TO be com.
on the subject.

pute. criticising the action taken as
being for "a material end. and con.
tending that France ought to have in

massacres.
The foreign minister, NJ. Delcasse,
replied that Frances patience was ex-
hausted by the porte's breaking OF
its own promises. France, in the
present difficulty, pursued no fresh
advantage. but everybody would agree
that this effort on the part of France
ought TO at least serve to put an end
to the annoyances and unjust treat
ment of which French WORKS i'm the

Establishments. end commercial and i'm

ject. He added:
"Unless parliament arrests our ac-

and persistent refisals 10 do justice

"The porte has also persisted in
its refusal TO reimburse NM. Tubini
and Lorando, in spite of the DEGREES
of the tribunals in their favor. The
government will only present to the
porte demands which are i'm con-
formity with its conscience. and which
can be sustained in perfect tranquil
lily of mind before the whole world.
The debt has been reduced by a large
percentage, and the porte. in August,
agreed to give satisfaction, but on
the morrow these arrangements were
forgotten and others were proposed. 4
Our minister then ceased official re-
lations with the porte. There was no
but the cessation of re- 4
laticns indicated that the government /
took the porte's word seriously. aud \
that it intended that the engagements
entered into should be respected, but
reserved to itself fixing the moment
for their execution.
Our rights are certain. and nobody
can dispute them; our action is lie.
ultimate, and nobody can take UNI

been long, so our action must be
more resolute."
As to Armenia, NJ. Delcasse said
that during the past three years he
had not overlooked the question, ari
while defending Frances material
interests. he had displayed equal So

for her traditions.

CHICKEN ~ COURT.

a half-dozen chickens that refused to
be silenced the novel spectacle in
the Circuit Court yesterday afternoon.
They were introduced as evidence in the
case of Sun Chun, charged with larceny
in the second degree, and the prosecu-
ton alleged that he had stolen the fowls.
In this case there was also a practical
completion of the trial before q jury,
when the court directed verdict of not
guilty. The motion TO this effect was
made by Attorney Brooks, on the ground
that the evidence of the Territory, al
though showing the possession of the
stolen property by defendant. and the
fact that it had been stolen. had still
failed to connect him with the crime
The court allowed the motion. after
reading an instruction prepared by the
defendant. which would have had prac-
ticaIly the same effect.
The jury which heard the case was
composed as follows: Chas. Z. Lake, J.

Court Held Appeal of No Effect.

| A man who pleads guilty to a crime
in the District Court cannot thereafter
appeal from the judgment to higher
tribunal. The ruling was made yester-
day in the case of L. X Otis, who was
charged with vagrancy, + e., being un-
lawfully upon the premises of another.
In the lower court Judge Wilcox i'm
posed a sentence of six months at hard
labor. from which an appeal was taken
The jury which was called to hear
the case was composed as follows:
Edward K. Blake. Ruby a. Dexter, n.
L. swinton, Geo. w. Macy, Jno. NJ.
Davis, Edward Woodward, Jonah K.
Nakila, Isaac H. Harbottle, Jas. X.
Mosebery, Jas. NJ. Sims, Geo. W. Kaia
and Alex. G.. Nicholas.
The evidence presented TO the jury
showed that the defendant had been
found upon the premises of a friend,
and there was every possibility of an
lacquittal according to the attorneys and
jurors. as it was shown that he has
often visited at the same home, and
stayed during the night
The attorneys were about to proceed
with their arguments when the court
discovered that the defendant had
pleaded guilty in the lower court. Mr..
Douthitt then moved that the appeal
be dismissed on the ground that there
could be no general appeal from plea
of guilty, and as there was nothing for
the jury to consider that body should
be discharged.
Mr. Brooks for the defendant stated
that the notation of the plea of guilty
by the clerk must be a mistake of the
interpreter, as the defendant had not
pleaded guilty. Nj Douthitt stated
that the court could take judicial no
tice only of the record of the District
Court, and there could be no trial upon
a plea of guilty.
Judge Humphreys in passing upon
the matter said: 1T appears in this
case that the defendant entered q plea
of guilty in the District Court, and no
appeal can lie from such a plea. Il is
a confession of guilt and the jury if
allowed to consider the case could not
do different than to find him guilty.
cannot but accept the record of the
clerk of the District Court; he was APP
pointed by the lower court, and if we
go back of his records, 1 might just as
well instruct a bailif to go down and
set fire TO all the papers ot the Dis
trict Court. AS there is nothing for the
jury to act upon, you will be dis
charged gentlemen until Monday morn
ing. The appeal win be dismissed and
the defendant ordered into the custody
of the High Sheriff"
In the lower court Judge Wilcox inn
posed a sentence of six months at hard
labor, and Judge Humphreys stated
that he could not change or modify that
sentence
