SETTLED OUT OF COURT
EsA of Litigation Between J. c. Adams
 and O'Connor and Cottrell.

J. C. Adams yesterday drew a check for s1,266.25, which settles out of court a law suit, which in one form or an other, has been dragging its way through the Arizona courts since the construction of the Hotel Adams. A brief review of the case will be inter esting.
 Shortly after the erection of the building and in the settlement between the contractors, O'Connor X Cottreli. and the proprietor. Mir. Adams. a dif- ference arose. An offer of arbitration was made by MT. Adams but rejected by the contractors. who brought suit for S3,14O. and obtained judgment for s2,000. Mr. Adams appealed the case to the territorial supreme court, which remanded the case back for new trial.
 The attorneys for the contractors then moved to dismiss the case. which action followed and new suit was started last January in which $2,700 was the sum asked for. In tho mean time O'Connor & Cottrell had dissolved partnership and the interest of MT. Cottrcll was assigned to Mir. O'Connor. This suit would have come up for hear ing the coming week. but the parties interested finally arrived terms of set tlement out of court. an action which is probably better for all concerned.

Close Election In Maryland.

BALTIMORE, Nov. S.-The super visors of election in the various coun- ties of the state commenced yesterday at noon the official canvass of the vote cast last Tuesday, and until it is fin- ished no positive figures can be given as to the complexion of the next leg islature. It will require two and per- haps three days to complete the count in Baltimore city, but enough is known to make it certain, in the absence of unexpected changes in the official count, that the Democrats will control both branches of the legislature. It will also require the official vote to de- eide the fate of the state ticket, and the present indications are that neither of the successful candidates will have q majority of 1000, the indications pointing to the election of Herring Dem.) for comptroller and Parran

FAMOUS COFFIN USED.
Earl Lis Casket Had Been Around
 the World.

l
 PEKING, Nov. S.-The end of u Hung Chang, which occurred at Il a. m. yesterday, was quiet. His vitality slowly ebbed. For a time he lost con sciousness, but he showed great tenaci- ty, rallied at midnight, became semicon- scious, partook of nourishment and ap- peared to recognize his relatives.
 The flames of the procession of paper effigies, chairs, horses and bearers burn ed in the courtyard of the yamen to carry his spirit to heaven told the crowd of officials who were gathered in the narrow street outside the yamen that the end had come Soon afterward a procession appeared bearing costly coffin of lockwood beautifully lacquer ed. This coffin Ii Hung Chang took on his trip around the world, and he brought it from Canton when he came to Picking to settle the Boxer troubles. Since that time it had been kept in a temple here.
 The body was placed in the coffin this morning with the customary rites. On Sunday there will be ceremonial corresponding to lying in state, and all the Chinese officials will pay their respects. A separate day will be desig- mated for the ministers of the powers.
 <rhe interment will be at the birth place of the deceased statesman, little village in the province of Anhui. The time has not yet been decided upon.
 A memorial was telegraphed to tEc court announcing his death and crcu- lar letter sent to the ministers of the powers.
 There are no signs of mourning ill the city, although the populace is con siderably excited. The ministers of the powers consider Yuan Shi Kai the strongest man in China after Ii Hung Chang, and they think his presence here would have a good influence on the court, but they fear the rank of marquis, which title will descend to his eldest son.
 The ministers of the powers are per sonally sending messages of sympathy. The first letter received at the Chinese foreign office came yesterday morning from Mir. Conger, the United States minister, saying that Secretary Hay had instructed him to tender the re- grets of President Roosevelt and the United States government at the inn nlinent death of the great yiceroy.
 The death of Ii Hung Chang is doubly regretted because he was the only influential Chinaman who could deal with foreign governments with an appreciation of the foreign point of Eiaw

The Presidents Callers.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Four [ publican members of the ways ai means committee of the house, Sfessrs. Payne of New York, Russell of Con- necticut, Grosvernor of Ohio and Steele of Indiana, were at the White House yesterday afternoon in conference with the president. They were extremely reti- cent regarding the interview, and each asserted that he came to Washington on some business connected with the departments. It was learned, how ever, that the president discussed with them some features of his forthcoming message which relate to the revenues and to the tariff. Many of the Repub- lican members of the ways and means committee already have expressed themselves as opposed to any revision of the tariff at the coming session of congress.

chicago Mystery Cleared Up.

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-With the dis covery of a blood bespattered base ment room at 192 North Union avenue and the arrest of it's late occupant, Felipe Rini, an Italian fruit peddler, the mystery surrounding the death of Antonio Natali. whose body was found hidden in barrel on the prairie near Western avenue and Rice street, is be- iieved to have been cleared up. That Natali was lured into the basement and murdered for his money by sev- eral men seems practically certain. In the pocket of Rini was found $500, mostly in bills, supposed to be a part of the proceeds of the robbery, some of the bills being covered with what aps pears to be blood stains-

scHLEY COURT ENDED.
Judge Advocate Lemly Makes Closing
 Argument.

|. WASHINGTON, Nov. S.--After sit. tings covering forty days and with. q record which when completed will GOV CT about 2,O00 pages the .Schley court of inquiry yesterday at 3.45 D. ID. ad- journed its last public session. To Cap tain s. c. Lemly, the judge advocate, had been assigned the duty of making the closing argument in the case, and soon after he had completed his speech Admiral Dewey, bringing his gavel down upon the big flat table, said, "There being no further business the court is adjourned"
 As was the case Wednesday when MT. Rayner spoke, the attendance was large. There was only one session dur ing the day. It began at 2 o'clock, and the entire time was devoted to Captain Lemly's address. He read his speech in clear and distinct tones and was given careful attention. The speech in the main was an analysis of testimony, but occasionally conclusion was drawn, and frequently there was criticism of the course pursued by Schley. Speak ing of his conduct, Captain Lemly said:
 From my Knowledge of the man, having served under his command on two cruises, have never believed, nor do claim from the evidence, that per sonal misconduct--or, to call spade a spade, cowardice--was exhibited by Commodore Schley in any part of his career as commander in chief of the flying squadron. But l submit with regret that i'll the passage from Key West to Cienfuegos, while at the latter port en route to the southward of San tiago without settled destination in the retrograde movement, in the return to the vicinity of Santiago and in the af- fair of May 31 the commodore exhibit ed unsteadiness in purpose and in push and failure to obey orders"
 This statement was made toward the close of Captain Lemly's remarks. Aft CT adjournment the members of the court, Admiral Schley and counsel lin gered for a time about the hall in which they have recently spent so much of their time, and there were many affectionate words of farewell spoken. Admiral Schley, as usual, was called upon to receive the greetings of a number of admirers, and a hundred or more people waited at the door of the building to bid him adieu.

We sometimes wish when we see the
universal patriotic zeal that expands
itself in the lavish decoration for one
day of graves that during the rest OF
the year are consigned to oblivion, that
the flood of sentiment could be crys-
tallized into something OF permanent
value. This may sound reasonable
and will doubtless challenge the in
quiry, Are not the ceremonies OF
Memorial day Of permanent value as
lessons in patriotism to the rising gen.
eration?" We assent without argu-
ment, but would like to carry the mat
ter further and make the lesson more
impressive by caring for the neglected
graves during the remainder OF the
year. Every one familiar with rural
life can call to mind forlorn country
cemeteries where weeds and wild
grasses contend for supremacy and
where the head-stones lean awry.
Here and there a grave Is tended, but
