QUITS WITNESS TAND.
Cross-Exnmination of schley Ends
md He Is Excused.

Washington, Oct. 31.-The long ordeal to
which Admiral Schley has been subjected
since Monday morning ended Wednesday
afternoon when his cross-examination was
concluded and he was allowed to leave the
witness stand. When the judge advocate
finished the cross-examination shortly
after three o'clock the court propounded to
the admiral "a questions prepared by the
members Of the court. These questions
touched many points of the campaign of
the flying squadron, but mainly centered
about the difficulties encountered in coal
ing and the reasons for the retrograde
movement. Not one Of them related to the
battle of Santiago.
The judge advocates cross-eXamination
Wednesday covered the retrograde move
ment, the reconnaissance of May 81, the
loop of the Brooklyn and the alleged col
loquy with Lieut. .Hodgson about the Texas.
The cross-examination of Admiral Schley
on the battle of Santiago began with a
question as to what the first movement Of
the Brooklyn's helm was after the enemy's
ships were sighted coming out.
I'VE were heading west by north" he
replied. 1.-THE first helm was to port"
capt. Cool gave the order for the
turn?"
YES"
"You regard that turn as very impor-
tant. do YOU not?"
II think 1t was the movement that de-
cided the events of that day."
Admira Schley, in response to a question,
said he never heard of the Texas incident
until six months after the battle. He had
been under the impression until later that
the starboard engine of the Brooklyn was
backed to facilitate the turn. He recol-
lected distinctly that he warned Capt.
Cook as the enemy approached that they
We're going to ram him. He was closely
questioned as to the order which went be-
low ito stand by to ram" In answer to
a question he said he supposed the captain
had given the order. He was not certain.
docs you letetr to the senate, dated
February IS, 1899, plead the precautionary
order of the department for not destroying
the Colon?"
81 should rather think that is the In
ference"
The admiral then at the request of the
judge advocate read what he wrote to the
senate. The letter contained the precau-
tionary order of the department at the
opening of the war. He again explained as
he had done before that when he wrote
his communication to the senate he did
pot have all the records before him. He

LONGS EULoGY ON M'KINLEY.
Personal characteristics of Our La
mented President Feelingly
Set Forth.

Secretary of the Navy Long writes
in the November Century of the per-
sonal characteristics of President
Mckinley, with whom his relations
were very intimate. Nh. Long says
of the late president that he had no
enemies, because she would not cher
ish enmity nor make retaliation"
IT never saw a man with such an even
and unruff1ed temper. During the years
in which 1 was with him, under the strain
of war, in the heat of the congestion of
| closing congresses, under the pressure for
place, l never heard him utter an impatient
word. He never scolded nor whined. He
i never showed irritation, neither at the cab
met board, nor, so far as l know, in sep
arate conversation with its members"
Mr.. Long likens the late president
to his great predecessor Lincoln in
many ways. Like Lincoln, Mckinley
was, he tells US, accustomed to
preface the serious business of cabi-
net meetings with humorous anec-
dotes of fine quality. His personal
habits were extremely simple and
unassuming. Mr.. Long speaks of him
as "the very ideal of serenity and de-
liberation," and says that only once
1 Az lG SEE HlIl III al Stule Ol nervous
excitement. That was during the
events leading up to the Spanish war,
which he made every effort to avoid.
His excitement manifested itself in,
his repeatedly sitting for a moment,
then rising, then sitting again"
1t is Mr.. Longs opinion that Nj.
Mckinley met greater problems of
administration than any since Lin
coins time" and that on the whole
he was more fortunate in escaping
bitter criticism than his predeces-
sors, and notably more SO than Lin
coin. But we must not forget that
Lincoln was at the head of Il nation
divided against itself, while McKin-
ley was the chief magistrate of a

THE LoLIGo.
A Fish That Squirts Ink in the Face of
His Enemy.

A Fish That Squirts Ink in the Face of
| His Enemy.
The largest loligo I have seen meas
ured three feet eight inches without at
tempting to stretch it's tentacles. Like
the fishes, they seem to sleep with one
eye closed at a time as l have seen
them resting on the sea bottom for this
purpose, and when the bait fell near the
sleeping side it was unobserved, but
when dropped on the other it was
gripped at once.
| Their enemies are all the carnivorous
fishes, which they often evade either by
evolution, fight or mimicry, for ali of
which devices they have some especial
adaptations In the first instance, they
have two tough, flexible fins or wings
high on the back, which enable them TO
swim forward or backward without
turning, which is an accommodation OF
great utility in either attack or retreat.
Then their eyes are so situated as al
most to command a circle. This also
In fight is invaluable, for they can see
all their enemies and know their power
and can advance or retire as the occa-
sion may require. Then besides their
ink bag, they have a muscular siphon
enabling them to shoot their enemies i'm
the air some ten feet and in the sea
some three or fouhr feet away.
Not long ago a friend of mine saw a
skirmish between loligo and its enc
my in which the cutie came off the
victor. He was fishing in the clear wa
ter off Mevagissey bay, and, wishing to
catch a John Doree, he tied the end of
his line to the tail of live young sea
Dream and threw it into the sea. Now,
a doree is fond of living food and likes
to swallow it headforemost. This suits
the fisherman, as when devoured in
this form the spines of the Dream act as
hooks to the fisherman's line and are
sure to bring all on board.
The Dream had not got far down in
the sea before a cutie saw it and
quickly fastened on to the back of it's
neck and before any steps were taken
to scare it away a large doree was seen
coming to the front. There was no
doubt or hesitation about it's purpose,
low the lot, as it was quietly going for
ward all the time, but taking a side
view as the opportunity best offered.
When about five feet from It's quarry,
there was violent rush on it with jaws
wide open, but there was just as quick
action on the other side, for the con-
tents of the ink bag were as quickly

shot into the open mouth. In an in-
slant, with the impetus of the rush. the
doree was in a cloud Of thick darkness,
| and the cutie skunk out Of sight.
The doree appeared out Of the muddle
in dreadful state. It's eyes rolled as
if in terror, and it's beautiful olive skin
had turned deadly pale, while its
coughing and tuning were something
to be remembered, black matter being
again and again expectorated from gills
and mouth. 1t was really thought that
the creature was about to die, and the
gaff was got ready to take it on board,
| for it had f1oated up within four feet of
the boat; but, noting her outline, it
generally sank into the depths below
When gaffing the cutie for bait, the
face of the f1sher1nan-unless he has
something white about hints always
the loligo's target for shooting out Of
the water.
I remember having a noted London
doctor out at sea for little amateur
fishing. He would like to see loligo

what was likely to happen when gaff-
ing was on, but he did not care. Sure
ly," he said. II can dodge such guess
work as this must be for SO short e.
time" felt dubious as to the result,
seeing his white shirt was prominent
object through hts having such an open
vest. Finally a cutie took the bait,
and as I drew 1t toward us the doctor
lost all thought Of himself and his
adornmerts in his admiration of the
movements and the beautiful eyes Of the
creature, when in an instant as / gated
it the whole ink charge struck him in
the throat.-Contempo Review.
