EXTREMELY NERVOUS.
How the Assassin Spent His Last Day
of Life.


Auburn, n. Y, Oct. 29.-Czolgosz
suffered a slight nervous attack late
Monday afternoon, but the prison of
ficials do not regard it in the light of
a breakdown, and adhered to their
belief that he would go unfaltering-
ly to the chair and death. DR.. Car
los +. Macdonald and Prison Physi-
clan Germ visited the cell at six
o'clock. They found the prisoner suf-
fering from extreme nervousness that
manifested itself in dilated eyes and
free flowing perspiration. When they
finished the examination the prisoner
turned sullenly from them and re-
tired into the corner of his cell, re-
fusing to talk. They gave him no
treatment and were of the opinion
that, while he was very nervous, he
did not show signs of absolute col
lapse. Czolgosz had just concluded
lengthy interview with Fathers
Fudzinski and Hickey. There had
been considerable traffic in the cor
ridor leading to the death chamber,
and the prison officials were inclined
to ascribe the disturbance of the
prisoner to those circumstances.
Aside from the break at nightfall,
Czolgosz spent his last day of life
much as he did all the others since
he passed into the hands of the law.
The approach of death seemed to
awaken no greater consciousness of
his position. He again turned his
back upon the priests who came to
urge him to confess and repent, and
was undemonstrative in the presence
of those of his kin who came to say
last farewell to him.
When alone with his guards he re-
mained silent and passed the time
either lying on his bunk or in slowly
pacing up and down the cell. He
talked, when addressed, to those ad-
mftted near his cell, but with his old
delibera tion and slowness. If he knew
strong emotion at any time, he was
successful in concealing it from those
who watched over him. The prison
guards combatted the suggestion that
his stolidity was a daze of fear, and
that the hour of execution would find
him helplessly broken down. The
prisoner suffered no loss of appetite,
and during the day ate the usual al
lowance of food given to prisoners.
Throughout his entire confinement he
has had good appetite, and his physi-
cal condition has been excellent. He
weighs about 155 pounds, which was
thought to represent a slight gain
since his arrest.

STAYS THE SENTENCE.
A New York Judge Grants a Certificate
of Doubt In tho Case OF John Most.

New York, Oct. 30.-Justice Mac
Lean, in the supreme court yesterday,
granted certificate of reasonable
doubt in the case of John Most, edi-
tor of the Freiheit, an anarchist pa
per, in order to stay his sentence of
l2 months Imprisonment for the pub
lication of an article entitled "Mur-
der versus Murder" which appeared
on the subject of President McKin-
ley's assassination.
Justice MacLean says the only
proof to support the Judgment is that
Most purloined an article, expressing
certain, sentiments, written by anoth-
er half century ago and published
it as his own ''in paper professedly
of some circulation, but which circu-
lation is shown by the sale of but a
single copy, that purchased by the
police, probably for the purpose of
prosecution" He further says that
it may be doubted reasonably wheth-
er the judgment, even with that sup
port, should stand, as plagiarism is
not criminal offense.

movable collier to take coal. The risk
would be too great. The responsibility was

chances. / coaled at the earliest possible
moment"
With reference to the arrival of the Har-
ward on the 9th and his conference with
Capt. (now AdmlraD Cotton, Admiral
Schley said that he had never received
the dispatch reporting in positive terms
the presence of the enemy at Santiago. II
never saw It," he said with intense earn
estness. IL never saw 1t, and l am sure
that Cotton never delivered 1t to me. If
he had done so. 1t would be among my pa
pers, and 1t would have burnt itself Into
my memory, SO that 1 never could have
forgotten It,"
Admiral Schley also referred again to his
conversation with Capt. McCalla, saying
that McCalla did not testify to the whole
conversation, and then discussed his dis
patch to the navy department regarding
the disobeyance OF orders. He said that
as translated, this message was essential
lily different from the dispatch as he had
framed 1t. He contended that there had
been no dlsobedience: that he had COM
piled with orders in returning to Santiago.
and held that the proper construction of
his dispatch would relieve him of this
charge.
At this point the court adjourned

Admiral Schley Continues His Testi-
mOny before the Court.

Washington, Oct. 2G-When the Schley
court of inquiry adjourned Friday Admiral
Schley had not completed his testimony
in chief. He took the stand about 1850
o'clock, after former witnesses had been
recalled for the purpose of making correc-
tions in and additions to their testimony,
and continued his statement until the court
adjourned at $40 p. m. The chief event of
the day was the admirars relation of the
events of July 3, when the American fleet
sent Cervera's squadron to- the bottom of
the sea or to the beach. He told his story
of this historical occurrence in plain words
and in unaffected style, but the narrative
was straightforward and to the point, in
dicating close familiarity with all the
phases of the event. He said that the
Brooklyn had for a time sustained the fire
of all four of the Spanish ships and also
the fire of the Spanish land batteries. Ex-
planning the historical turn of his own flag
ship, the Brooklyn, he said that she had
not approached to within less than coo
yards of the Texas, and that he never had
considered that vessel in the least dan
ger. He also stated, in response to an in
terrogation from Mr.. Rayner. that he had
never during the battle engaged in any col
loquy with Lieut.. Hodgson and that he had
not used the expression attributed to him
by Hodgson. This refers to the alleged coll
loquy In which the admiral is charged with
having said Damn the Texas!' Ad-
miral Schley also gave the details of the
reconnaissance of May 81, when the Span
ish ship Cristobal Colon was bombarded.
In this connection he denied the statements
attributed to him by Commander Potts, of
the battleship Massachusetts,.
Preceding the adjournment of the court
the question of calling Admiral Sampson to
the stand was revived by Judge Advocate
Lehlly, who reminded Mr.. Rayner that he
(Mr. Rayner) had suggested some time ago
that he desired the admiral called. Capt.
Lemly said he was prepared to issue the
summons If called upon to do so, but Mr..
Rayner responded that the incident which
had seemed to demand the admirals at
tendance had dwindleG into comparative
insignificance, and he added that It was
we'll understood the condition of Admiral
Sampson's health was such that he could
not be expected to appear upon the wit
ness stand.
As Admiral Schley left the courtroom he
was given quite an ovation. a large num-
Der of persons had halted outside the court
room door and many insisted on shaking
hands with him. The assemblage escorted
him up the hill from the gunners' work
shop in which the court sits to the outer
gates of the navy yard.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
1t Is OmcinIIy Stated There Is No
Likelihood of War Between
Chilli and Argentine.

Santiago De Chill, Oct. 20 (via Gall
weston, Tex.).-It is officially asserted
here, in view of the warlike rumors
published in the British newspapers,
that the relations between Chill and
Argentina are perfectly tranquil and
that there is not the slightest cause
for alarm. The existing difficulties
will be settled amicably between the
two governments. The only disquiet-
ing features are the utterances of the
newspapers of Buenos Ayres. No
body here contemplates war between
Chilli and Argentina.

A NEW LABOR COMBINATION.
Its Promoters Sock TO Form an AIn-
ance of Workmen Engaged In tho
Orc Carrying Business.

Toledo, Oct. 30.-A circular has just
been issued to members of the unions
interested, outlining the plans for the
formation of new federation of la
Dor which is to combine the railroad
organizations on the roads that run
from the mines to the upper lake
ports and also from the lower lake
ports to the mills and all the marine
and dock organizations.
The circular points out the folly of
labor organizations fighting their
battles in isolated groups. 1t also
points out that all the railroads and
boat lines engaged in the lake ore
and coal trade are combined for mu-
tual profit and protection and that
the workers in this field should do the
same if they hope to be able to cope
with situations that may arise.
The circular has been sent to all
the officers of the unions of the pro-
posed federation and at the close of
navigation a meeting will be called
at Cleveland to form the new fedora
ton. 1t is understood that the Off
cials of the Marine Engineers Benefi-
cial association are at the head of the
movement.
Among the other marine organiZa-
tions to be included are the constitu-
ent bodies of the International Long
shoremen, the Lake Seamen's union,
the Masters and Pilots association,
the Tug Firemen and Linemen's Pro-
tective association, on the maritime
end of the great labor combination.
On the other side will be the unions
engaged in mining ore and the five
powerful railway organizations.

AFTER THREE YEARS.
Corpse of the Commander OF Spanish
Torpedo Boats mt Battle In Santiago
RaY Is shipped 10 Spain.

Havana, Oct. 30.-The body of Span
ish Vice Admiral villamil, commander
of the Spanish torpedo fotilla, who
was killed at the battle of Santiago,
was transferred yesterday to the
steamer Montserrat to be taken to
Spain. The ceremony of transfer
was in charge of Captain of the Port
Young, representing the United
States navy. A salute of nine guns
was fired at MORO castle.
Vice Admiral Villamil was wound
ed on board the destroyer Pluton and
was taken ashore by Spanish, sailors,
dying shortly afterwards. His body
was left in sitting posture in
chair in a cave about four miles west
of the entrance to Santiago harbor,
and it remained there about eight
months before it was discovered,
when it was transferred to the Santi-
ago arsenal and from there to this

CLOSELY QUESTIONED.
Judge Advocate LemIy Cross-EN-
amines Admiral SchIey.

Washington, Oct. 29.-The cross-exam-
ination of Admiral Schley began Monday
before the court of inquiry, and hardly
more than a third of the ground was COW
cred when the court adjourned at four
o'clock. After Admiral Schley concludes
to-day two other witnesses will be called
in his behalf, Admiral Baker and Capt.
Thomas Borden. The latter was an ofti-
Ger of the marine corps aboard the Brook
lyn. The judge advocate then will call
his witnesses in rebuttal, of whom there
are unders TODD to be more than 10, and 1t
is probable that Admiral Schley's counsel
Will call witnesses in sur-rebuttal.
Nothing sensational developed Monday,
and the only outburst In the court occurred
when Mr. Rayner, Admiral Schley's coun-
sel objected to line of inquiry of the
judge advocate designed TO criticise Ad-
miral Schley's alleged failure to formulate
plan OF battle, with the declaration that
as Admiral Sampson was in command his
junior had no right to plan an order of
battle.
Admiral Schley concluded his direct ex-
animation, which continued only about ten
minutes after the court convened Monday
morning, with statement of the effect of
the fire of the respective fleets at Santiago,
showirn that Sc per cent. of the hits SUI
fered by the enemy were scored by the
Brooklyn's five-inch guns, while his ship
received 20 per cent. of the hits from the
Spanish ships.
Capt. Lemy's cross-eXamlnation was
very searching. Admiral Schley, however,
appeared to be unruffled throughout the ex-
animation, frankly admitting on several oc-
casions that he could not remember little
details after the lapse of three years. One
line of inquiry which the judge advocate
tried to press TO show that Admiral Schley
did not proceed with dispatch" from Key
West to Cienfuegos by attempting to con-
trast the speed made between Charleston
and Key West with the time between Key
West and Cienfuegos was curtaied by a
decision of the court, which confined the
questions to the time subsequent to May
ID, the day on which the flying squadron
left Key West.
Ihe judge advocate in his cross-exam-
ination dwelt upon the interview between
Admiral Sampson and Commander Schley
at Key West before the departure of the
lying squadron, at which the latter testi-
ned that Admiral Sampson instructed him
not to expose his ships TO shore batteries
until the Spanish fleet had been destroyed,
on the fact that Admiral Schley issued no
written order of battle, on the question of
coaling off Clenfuegos and the steps Schley
look there to ascertain the presence of the
Spanish fleet. He was cross-examining the
witness upon matters connected with the
cruise of the squadron from Cienfuegos to
Santiago when the court adjourned The
retrograde movement, the firing upon the
Colon and the battle of Santiago, which
constitute the main features of the pre-
cept' were not touched upon Monday.

President Decides to Reappoint Ap-
praiser Wakeman.
THIS GIVES oFFENsE TO GAGE
Democratic Paper Says He VIII
Either Resign or Be Put
Out of Office.

Special to The Journal
Chicago, Oct. 12.-The Chronicle this
morning prints a Washington special
saying that President Roosevelt has de-
cided to reappoint Wilbur F. Wakeman
appraiser of the port of New York and has
thereby raised an issue with Secretary of
the Treasury Gage that may result in
Mr.. Cages voluntary withdrawal as the
head Of the treasury department.
Mr.. Gage is on record as being strongly
opposed to Wakeman's retention. While
he has not preferred charges against the
appraiser in the sense that he accused
him of violations of the law, he has taken
the position that Mr.. Wakeman is unfit
for the Office that he holds that his re-
appointment would be a blow at the gen.
eral morals Of the service. Assistant
Secretary Spaulding was the first official
in Washington who assailed Wakeman's 8
acts and Secretary Gage not only upheld
Spaulding, but prepared characterization
of Wakeman's conduct in the appraiser $
office on his own account which stands
as the severest arraignment of public
official that any recent secretary of the
treasury ever signed.
Mr.. Gage went further than merely set
ting out Wakeman's alleged unitness. He
selected Wakeman's successor. President
Roosevelt, relying upon the representa-
tions of his secretary of the treasury, in
formed Senator Plat that Wakeman
would not be reappointed. Then Wake
man came to Washington from New York
and had long interview with the presi-
dent, in which he evidently convinced
President Roosevelt that the charges
against him were unfounded and unworthy
Of serious consideration. Wakeman's
friends came forward very promptly in his
behalf and demanded his retention, among
them Cornelius N. Bliss, former secretary
of the interior, who let it be known that
if Wakeman was not reappointed he would
consider the presidents act as a piece Of
gross discourtesy to himself.
The president, realizing that the reap
pointment Of Mr.. Wakeman will create a
serious issue between himself and the sec
retary of the treasury, especially in view
of Mr.. Cages attitude Of opposition to
Wakeman, has begun to fortify himself
with facts concerning Mr.. Cages career
as secretary.
Persons in Washington who are ac-
quainted with the presidents investigation
of this particular scandal have no doubt
that President Roosevelt is fortifying
himself for the row which he expects to
follow when he announces the appoint
ment of Wakeman. 1t is not doubted here
that Secretary Gage will either have to
resign voluntarily or be forced out Of
office.

Grand Forks, N. d., Oct. 1.-THE rain
that started yesterday morning continued
with few Interruptions throughout the
north portion Of the state and the situa-
tion certainly approaches thee ritical in
many sections where but a small per cent
of the flax is threshed.
The greater portion of the wheat is out
of the way, but the bulk of the fax is
yet to be threshed and even with the most
favorable weather from this time for
ward there is not time left to get 1t all
through the machines this fall.
In addition to this the laborers are leav-
ing the state by the score on every train
and it will be impossible to get crews
when the grain is again fit to thresh,
which will not be for about a week.
