MIR. RAYNER'S ADDRESS.
Witnesses Who Testified Against
SchIey Severely Arraigned.

Mr.. Rayner began his argument at II :25
m. He paid a compliment TO Judge Ad-
vOcate Lemly and his assistant, Mr.. Han
ma, for the most judicial impartiality with
which they have managed this case" Mr..
Rayner made a plea for consideration of
questions from what was at that time
Commodore Schley's point Of view. Let
u.s. he said. put ourselves in his place
and see what the circumstances were. We
all know now what it would have been
wise TO do" Discussing dispatch No Z,
known as the Dear Schley' letter, Mr.
Rayner contended that the order conveyed
in that message made it incumbent upon
Admiral Schley TO remain at Cienfuegos
He declared that this was the key TO the
whole case. and that ii did not admit of
any other construction than that Commo-
dOre Schley should remain at Cienfuegos.
Mr.. Rayner, in support of this conten-
tion. read the departments orders TO Ad-
miral Sampson directing him TO notify
Commodore Schley by the Iowa to proceed
off Santiago. Admiral Sampson, instead of
transmitting that order and reinforcing it,

Press that when he was called to act with
DR.. Velde, Of the German legation, Nov. L.
he found the patient very weak from a Sc
we're hemorrhage, due TO liberation of the
stomach. THE hemorrhage was readily
controlled said DR.. Coltman, but owing
to the underlying condition Of chronic
gastritis, with persistent nausea only the
mildest liquid food could be injected. Tues
day he was cheerful and without pain. but

unconscious and was no longer able to get

EIGHT CADAVERS SEIZED
HUMAN BODIES FOUND SEWED UP IN
CANVAS AND GRATED.
Marked "Second-Hand Laundry Ma
chinery'-IIIinOisL Law Violated
and Arrests Made at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Nov. 6-Eight human bodies
were taken this evening from two crates
at the freight depot of the Chicago, Bur-
lington & quincy Railway. They were
consigned to r. J. Jones. of Brashear, Mo,
and marked as secondhand laundry ma
chinery. The bodies were purchased dur
ing the day from the Harvey Medical Col
lege of this city, and were being shipped
to Missouri for purposes of dissection The
police are looking for Jones. but so far
have been unable TO locate him. The only
charge that can be brought against him
is the shipping of bodies in a manner con-
trary to law.
When the crates were received at the
depot the suspicious of the men in charge
were aroused, as they had never seen laun-
dry machinery Of the shape of the two
crates, had they ever seen 1t shipped
in such manner. 1t was then decided TO
open the crates. When they were opened,
the bodies, sewed up in canvas and packed
in excelsior were found. The police were
notified, and as il was known the crates
came from the Harvey Medical College,
officers were at once sent there. The Of
ficials of the college proved that they had
no connection with the shipment OF the
bodies and said they had sold them during
the afternoon to r. j. Jones, who said that
he intended TO shfp them to Brashear Mo.
Il told him to be careful how he shipped
them,' said DIR. Dickinson of the college,
land warned him that he would get into
trouble if he sent them in any other way
than that authorized by law. He said moth
ing and went away. AS far as the college
is concerned, the transaction was entirely
proper. We had more cadavers than we
could use and sold those TO Mr.. Jones, as
he called himself. He said they were TO
be used for medical purposes
Police officials believe the discovery dis
closes a carefully planned scheme to traffic
in cadavers. DR. Francis NJ. Schoenleber,
of 147 Eugene street, IS under arrest and

Mexican Arbitration Treaty Before the
Pan-American Congress.

MEXICO CITY. Nov. 6.-This morning
the Pan-American Congress decided to go
into secret session to hear the project of
the arbitration treaty proposed by the Mex
lean delegation The votes against the secret
session were those of Paraguay Argentine
Republic Bolivia and Peru-four against
fifteen. The press representatives were
compelled 10 vacate the hall. The proposed
treaty Is decidedly favorable TO Chile and
correspondingly distasteful 10 Peru. IL is
true the project is largely on lines recon-
mended by The Hague Peace Conference
but with two noted exceptions, both in
favor or Chile.
The Guatemala delegation presented a
plan for the purpose of facilitating the ad-
justment OF controversies which the several
governments participating In the conven-
ton may have been unable TO settle diplo-
matically.

Don't Get Out All the Sugar Paid For.

During the past year the Enterprise
and other papers i'll the valley have pub
lishcd figures OF percentage of sugar in
bccts which have been TO some extent
misleading. When the factory chemist 5
reports say IS to 40 per cent. of sugar in
= load of bccts, the cashier pays for the
bccts on that basis. The popular suppo-
sition is that the factory gets the full 5
or 20 per cent. OF sugar from the bccts.
This is not true, as there are large losses
of saccharinc matter during the process
of manufacture.
Some sugar remains in the pulp and
other proportions are held i'll the lime
cake. There are losses in the filter press
cs, the molasscs and all along the line of
the various processes through which the
juice passes on its way toward refined
sugar. These various leaks and losses of
the real sugar content aggregate from 81
TO 4 per cent. Hence in figuring up the
amount of sugar which Burrcli's or any
other growers prize acre produced this
percentage of loss in manufacture mus,
be taken into account.

W. G.. Steele by careful calculation

cever the ground on which il was raised
SO that an appearance of snow would be

ing two square feet, on which pound OF
sugar was scattered, covering the ground
to the same extent that the output of the
acre would II placed on the ground on
which il was raised.
If Mr.. Steelc's calculation was made
on the basis of the factory getting the full
percentage of sugar for which it paid
