THE sCHLEY TRIAL.

The main incidents in the Schley trial
for the past week have been efforts to
show that precise information as to the
whereabouts of the Spanish feet was
withheld from Admiral Schley.
Capt Sigsbee testified that his first in
formation of the presence of the Spanish
vessels at Santiago was on the morning
of May %, when all of the feet saw the
Colon in the harbor. He did not tell
Schley on the Goth that the vessels were
there. but reported some facts which led
him to believe they were.
Thos. W. Diuaide, newspaper CORE
spondent, who was on board the Texas,
says that the Brooklyn gave that vessel
close shave" He heard Capt. Philip
give the order to stop the Texas's engines,
as the Brooklyn seemed right across her
bows. Capt. Philip waved his hand after
the Brooklyn, and said See that fellow
going out to sea-
Admiral Evans testified that from the
position of the fleet while Schley was in
command it would have been impossible
to see any of the Spanish vessels escap-
ing from the harbor. The attack on the
Colon was not very earnest affair, and
none of the shots the Spaniards fired came
near the vessels.
Lieut-Com. Sharp, of the Vixen, testi-
fed that they We're not in great need of
coal, and that a vessel showing no lights
and making no noise, could have run out
at night without being discovered.
Lieut.. Doyle, an officer on board the
Brooklyn, testified that Schley's manner
during the battle was cool and collected,
and that he sent an order to the Oregon
to try her 13-inch guns.
Lieut.. Chas. w. Dyson, of fhe Bureau
of Steam Engineering, gave summary
of the vessels coal supplies when they
reached Santiago, showing that .he Brook
Ign could have remained on blockade %
days, and still have had coal enough to
reach Key West. The Massachusetts and
Texas II days. These figures made a
sensation, and were sharply attacked by
Schley's counsel.
Commander Rogers, Of the board APP
| pointed to survey the Spanish vessels
after their destruction, presented COM
prehensive table of the hits made. There
were two Pinch, IL S-inch, ~ 5-inch, and
10 finch, or 80 in all. The Brooklyn was
the only vessel with 5-inch guns, and her
hits therefore were about "a or 80 per cent
Of the whole.
| Lieut.. Com. Hodgson was on the bridge
with Schley, and heard him give the order
to make the turn. He called his atten,
ton to the Texas, but Schley replied
Damn the Texas; let her take care OF
herself" The two vessels were then from
go to 300 yards apart. He regarded the
movement as n good one, to get ahead OF
the Spanish vessels. Schley also said that
he did not want TO get near enough tbs
Spaniards to be torpedoed. The witness
was very ''skittish'' about getting a sho,
from the Texas.

LOOKING at the matter impartiaIly,
without any prejudice whatever as to any
Of the parties involved, it seems to us that
great deal Of time has been wasted by
the Court in examining as to what, if any
thing, was actually told Admiral Schley
of the presence of the Spanish feet at
Santiago, with seeming assumption that
if the knowledge were not actually forced
upon him he could be excused of ignor-
ance. This is altogether wrong. AS COM
mander of the Flying Squadron, and as an
enterprising officer, it was his duty to
hunt up the Spanish ships. and neglect no
possible avenue of information. He should
not have waited for this man or that
man TO casually remark that the enemy
was here or there, but put all his en-
ergy into finding the enemy. No evidence
has as yet been produced TO show that he
did this.

THE political situation in South Caro-
lima continues TO have some interest. The
Democratic leaders are making an effort
to get together by having all the Sena-
torial candidates agree TO withdraw in
favor of Wade Hampton, and a good deal
of old-time sentiment is being brought
out, renovated, and made TO look as good
as ever, to bring this about. On the other
hand, Chairman Mark Hanna has ap-
pointed to the National Republican Com
mittee as the member from South Caro-
lima, Capt. John G. Capers, whom Presi-
dent Mckinley appointed District Attor-
ney, on Senator McLaurin's recommends
ton, for the purpose of building up new
Republican party in the State, on the
basis of the Anti-Tillman Gold Demo
Gratis. President Roosevelt has followed
this up by appointing Lewis Blalock, a
very recent accession to the Republican
party, Collector of Internal Revenue The
old-time Republicans have Withdrawn all
opposition to these appointments, under
the agreement that they are to be left in
possession of the Offices they now hold.

THE Grand Army of the Republic has
received a recruit of which every one of
us can be very proud. Il. Il. Wolcott
Post, of Milwaukee, Wis. has recently
mustered in Maj-Gen. Arthur Macarthur,
and is now putting on some airs as being
the only Post in the country who has
among its members a comrade who en-
tered the war of the rebellion as an en-
listed man, and is now a full Major-Gen
eral in the Regular Army. Until the
death of the lamented Gen. Lawton, Sion
S. Bass Post of Fort Wayne, Ind, could
make the same claim. Gen. Macarthur
has long wanted to join the Grand Army,
but he naturally wanted to go into the
| Post where his old comrades were, and the
visit to Milwaukee was his first opportuDi-
| ty. Gen. Macarthur has a record which
reflects credit upon the whole Order. He
| is of the highest type of an American SOL
der. He enlisted in 1861 when a mere
boy, and won his way up to the Lieuten-
ante olonelcy of the 24th Wis. by dint of
the very best soldiership, at time when
only the best soldiership succeeded. None
| of the 1000, 600 or more volunteers made
better record than he. He entered the
Regular Army in 1866 as a Second Lieu
tenant, and at the breaking out of the
| Spanish War was a Lieutenant Colonel
and Assistant Adjutant-General. Because
of his recognized fitness, he was commits
stoned BrigadierGeneral of Volunteers,
| and his brilliant work in the Philippines
brought him deserved promotion to
Brigadier and Major-General in the Regu-
lar Army.

OF COURSE, everybody is very eager to
know what President Roosevelt's policy
will be, and as he has, wisely and prop
erly, been very reticent about his inten-
tions, until he could make up his own
mind, the enterprising Washington cor
respondents have had to evolve the news
out of their own fertile imaginations. OF
course, every official who has felt I'M
easy about the retention Of his place has
FASTENED TO assure the public that he was
the Presidents bosom friend, and that
there was no thought of attempting to run
the Government without him. So it has
ever been.

greater than three days, in which case Il

tificate must be obtained from the local
agent from whom a ticket is secured. A
receipt for fare paid will not answer. If the
local agent who issues the ticket cannot
give certificate and a through ticket to

The attention of those who fancy that
the old rigor Of religious belief and prac-
tice is dead is invited to the case of the
Rev. Ira Estepp, for 10 years pastor of the
Baptist Church at Inez, KY. A short
time ago his daughter, Mrs. Fannie
Meeks, died, and just before she expired
she asked her father to baptize her. She
was too i'll TO be immersed, as the Church
requires, and Mr.. Estepp performed the
services by pouring water on her head.
For this act he was brought before the
Baptist congregation in Inez for trial, but
each time he was indicated. Then the
Church obtained a change of venue and
the case was transferred to Ward's
Chapel, three miles north of lnez, where
Mr.. Estepp was found guilty of violat-
ing the laws of the Church. His license
was at once revoked, but he will appeal
to the courts.

THERE never was a more brazen insult
offered to the people of the United States
than Emma Goldmans proposition to re-
peat the lecture that the assassin said in
cited him to murder the President. While
the whole land is still draped in mourn

while the funeral dirges still ring in our
ears, this wretched harridan, whose life
is protected by the Government she would
destroy, pro- osed to mock our bitter grief
by public repetition of the vicious har-
angue which led to the evil deed. 1t was
devilish audacity-a vile serpent kissing
scorn and contempt for the whole Amer
lean people. The police Of Chicago re-
strained her from going to this extremity.

five or six years ago Bradford man
bought an orange tree from local
florist. He placed the tree in the hot
house Of another florist, after time
and this season the tree is bearing
fruit which has every outward ap-

the pulp is sweet and is evidently
orange pulp. The owner of the tree
can not account for the change. The
oranges formerly on the tree were
fine, round fruit, but this years fruit
is oval in shape.
