The testimony several times during
the day was somewhat exciting, aud
il was especially so when Commander
HeiIner described the battle, the part
the Texas had taken in it. He said
when the Brooklyn made its loop at
the beginning of the battle il had
passad across the Texas bow al a
distance not TO exceed 100 or 200
wards. and that at the command of
Capt. Phillip the Texas had been
brought to a dead stop.
Engineer Bates testified that the
starboard engines had been stopped
and said he thought this also had
happened TO the port engines. Com
mander Heilner expressed the opin-
ION that three miles had been lost
by this maneuver and the fact that
part of the machinery was de-
ranged He said he considered that
the Texas was i'm greater danger when
the Brooklyn crossed her bow than
al any other time during the battle.
On cross-exanlination Commander
Heilner admitted having taken in the
preparation of the official navy de.
partment chart showing the positions
at different times of the ships which
participated in the battle. He said
according to this chart the two ships
never were nearer than 200 yards of
each other. But. he contended. the
chart was inaccurate. and he said
he had only consented to il as a
compromise. commander Bates ad.
mitted that the official steam log of
the Texas contained no record of the
signal to reverse the engines. Com
raander Schroeder then finished con
corning the coal supply of the Mas
sachusefts. which he said would have
been sufficient for blockade of from
IL 20 % days.
The day closed with another ami
mated controversy between counsel as
"a the policy of bringing Adm. Samp.

continues. this panoramic method OF surveying state

fact and clear understanding of the conditions and
needs of the South.
When we reflect that the great papers Of phiIadel
pha will probably contain full reports of these talks
and carry the information all Pennsylvania Del.

even New York State and that Baltimore and New

but the practical wisdom displayed in carrying the
