w of the elongated antique time
piece which stands against the
wall in the hall occupied by the
Schley court of inquiry pointed to l2;49
o'clock today when Judge Advocate

witnesses to call. and Mr.. Raynor said
that no witnesses would be summoned

delusiOn was soon dissipated by the
announcement on the part of the judge
advocate that he might ask 20

ness on Monday and also a statement
from Mr.. RaynOr that Admiral Schley
himself would desire to return to the
stand on Monday to correct errors in
his testimony as officially reported.
There is pfoba bility that the admiral
will use considerable time in going over
the printed record of what he said,
and there is also an understanding
that he viii make some additions TO
the former statements. But it is not
believed that, beyond what he may
have to say. there viii be much more
testimony taken in the case.
More Witnesses to Come.
The only witness that the judge ad-
vocate still has in mind is Lieutenant
Strauss, and Captain Lemly said to-
day that if the lieutenants attendance
could be secured he would detain the
court for a short time only. Captain
Sigsbee also will return to the stand
Monday to make corrections in his
testimony given yesterday by him.
These details completed, the argument
of counsel will begin and then counsel
and the public will withdraw and leave
the court to its deliberations The
task before the court is not a light
one, and it may be weeks before the
final verdict viii be reached.
Today's witnesses were Sylvester SEQ
vii. a former newspaper correspondent
who saw service in the Cuban cam
paign; Lieutenant Hood, who com
manded the Hawk during the Spanish
war, and also a number of officers who
were heard yesterday and who re-
turned to the stand to correct testi-
mony. The court held only one session
and adjourned over until Monday.
The attendance in court today was
the smallest since the sessions began.
Comparatively few of the reserved
seats were occupied at the beginning
of t0day's sitting, and Lieutenant
Crawford, Admiral Dewey's private
secretary, who has handled the dis
tributiOn of tickets with rare tact, in
vited those present to the front when
he discovered that the seats would not
be claimed by ticket holders thus Civ
ing the court an audience and at the
same time affOrding the chance visit

proceedings.

Japan Needs Money.
A Good Field Offered.

The constantly recurring reports that
Japan is to 90 into the worlds markets to
negotiate her first foreign loan calls atten-
ton once more to the financial conditions
of that country. The military, naval and
Industrial expansion that has been going
on since the Chinese war has made great
drain on the not too abundant resources of
the country, and the generally accepted
view is that Japan has about reached its
limit of expenditure and is now greatly
overtaxed. The usually well.informed CO.
respondent of the London "Timesv re-
Gently discussed this question at some
length. lie denies that Japan is oVertaxed
and says, in addition, that there were never
so many signs of general material prospe-
rity as now. At the same time, he admits
that the country is greatly hampered for
want of working capital to carry on its
many industries, and says, furthermore,
that there are now to be had abundant
chances for good investments which will
return large dividends.

Gen. ChoN9e'S Report.
The Armies Offended All the
Laws of Civilized War.

The report of Major-Gen. Chaffee on
the campaign in China is being prepared
for publication at the War Department
Among other matters it contains special re
ports upon the Russian japanese, French,
German and British troops, reports on the
equipment, supplies, etc, OF foreign troops,
aud reports on different expeditions. Those
reports were made by United States officers,
and from a military point of view are OF
considerable interest. Almost all the main
facts have been published. Some OF Gen.
Chaffee'S comments are interesting. AT
one point he says:
"For about three weeks following the
arrival of the relief column at Pekin the
condition In and about the city and along
the line of communication was bad. Loot
ing of the city, uncontrolled foraging in the
surrounding country, and seizure by soldiers
of everything Chinaman might have, as
vegetables, eggs, chickens, sheep, cattle,
etc, whether being brought to the city OF
found on the farm: indiscriminate and ge-
nerally unproyoked shooting of Chinese, il
city, country and along the line of marcel
and the riyer-all this did not tend, as was
natural, to gain for the troops the confiden
ce of the masses, with whom, it is certain
we have no quarrel, but ,cere in need o
cher labor. Il is safe to say that where on
real Boxer has been killed since the cap
ture of Pekn fifty harmless coolies or la
borers on farms, including not te,o wo
men and children, have been slain. Th
Boxer element is largely mixed with tn
mass of population, and by Staying 10
