that 40 authorized delegates to the
National Council of Congregationalists
failed to present their credentials

Introduce resolution Mt yesterdays
session of the council providingsfor n
committee to correspond with the con-
fercnces of the various states to devise
n plan whereby Il part OF the whole
of the expense of delegates may be
met by the conference. The resolution
was adopted.
The question of whether II minister
should refuse TO 0ificiatc Mt the mar

The question of who shall receive

The afternoon session was devoted
chiefly to papers. "Women's Work in

VIII Remove Fences.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 1S.-The
commissioner Of the general land office
hns ordered the summary removal of n
vast fence that is being erected on Il
part OF the public range In southeast
ern New Mexico. just west of the Pc
COS river. The fence Is being built by
n large stock company owning 10000
head of cattle which 1t desires shall eX-
clusively Craze on this large tract of
public land. Innsmuch as the law pro-
vides that no fences shall be erected
on the public domain. and ns such
fences operate to exclude settlers and
small stock owners who have nn equal
right with all others to these public
pastures, the commissioner says he
will not go on record rs favoring the
erection of such fences nor for grant
Ing specified time before which the
fences shall he removed. He favors
summary action and so recommends to
the secretary. 1t Is known that II an
extension liz granted this company 9th
crs Will usk Congress ut Its coming ses-
sion for legislation permitting the
maintcnapce Of such fences, and there
Is strong reason to believe the secrc-
tary will grant such extension. al-
though apparently for other reasons.

SCHLEY'S CONDUCT

Washington, Oct. 11.-Only one new
witness was heard In detail by the

This was Lieutenant Commander
James IL. Sears, who was Admira!
Schley's flag lieutenant during the
Spanish War. lie gave Il detailed ac-
count of the entire Cuban campaign,
including the brief siege of Cienfuc-
Cos, the rctrograde movement of the
flying squadron in search of coal, the
blockade of Santiago. the reconnais-
snnce of the Santiago shore batteries,
and the bOmbardment Of the Cristobal
Colon May 31st, and the battle off San
tiago July 3rd, when Cervera's fleet
was destroyed. He placed the distance
of the blockading line at Cienfuegos
at from one to four miles and mt Santi-
ago at from three to six miles. He en-
pressed the opinion that In the battle
of July 3rd 1t had been the Viscaya's
intention to ram the Brooklyn.
Mr.. Rayner sought to secure the in
PRODUCTION of a brief report of the bat.
tie OF July Bird which Commodore
Schley prepared for transmission to
the secretary of the navy. 1t was
stated that Commander Sears had ta-
ken this dispatch ashore to be cablcd
to the secretary but that it hadc never
reached that official. The dispatch was
ruled out on the ground that. as it was
not received, it was not an official COM
municntion. 1t was not read in the
court room, but the following is copy
of it:
ITO the Secretary of the Navy, Wash
ington:

9:3O, and were all captured or de-
stroyed in running fight to the west

Washington, ID. c.. Oct. 11.-Freder-

Post, has filed in the United States Su-
preme court n strong demurrer to the
bill of complaint of the state of Kansas
in the case of said state vs. the state of
Colorado involving the rights TO the
use of the water of the Arkansas river.
The state of Colorado cites the fol
lowing causes of demurrer to the Dill
of complaint rs follows:
That the Supreme Court has no jur-
isdiction of either of the parties TO this
suit, because the points ut issue do not
constitute any controversy between
the two states.
Because the issues presented arise.
IL at all, between the state of Kansas
and certain private corporations and
persons in Colorado who are not made
parties to the suit, and which matters
do not concern the state of Colorado as
Il corporate state.
Because the suit is in reality In be-
half of certain individuals residing In
Kansas, on the banks of the Arkansas
river, the state merely loaning its name
to such individuals.
Because Kansas. in her right of soy
ereignty, is seeking to maintain this
suit for the redress of supposed wrongs
of its private citizens, while under the
constitution the state possesses no such
sovereignty as empowers it to bring
original suits in this court.
Because no property rights OF the

fields for the season. 1t is to be
adapted for both freight and passen-

President Frank Trumbull OF the
Colorado 4 Southern had no objection
to the beet sugar men entering the
northern Colorado field with an elec-
tric line. "The proposition was made
to us by Mr.. Boettcher and his asso-
cIates," said Mr.. Trumbull. but we
did not care to build line through the
region which Is to he traversed by the
electric line. There is IL friendly feel
ing between the sugar beet company
and the officers of the Colorado X
Southern, and we see no reason for
any change in the friendly relations.
The remarks of Mr.. Trumbull effect
ually put to rest n rumor that the en-

of labor is far below the demand, as

Spencer Eddy, the American charge

The policy of Miss Stones abduction
is found in the Bulgarians' all-consum.
ing idea of freeing Macedonia from
Turkey. Though the end be good, the
degenerate members do not care about
the means. Prominent persons in the

! is to show that Turkey is unwilling or

power to do so.
