M IN long ordeal to which Admiral
MfNN SehIey has been subjected
" " since Monday morning ended
this afternoon when his
cross-examination was concluded and ne
was allowed to leave the witness stand.
When the judge advocate finished the
cross-exanination shortly after 8 o'clock
ment, the reconnaissance of May 81, the
thirty-four questions prepared by the
members of the court. These questions
touched many points of the campaign Of
the flying squadron but mainly centered
about the difficulties encountered in coal
ing and the reasons for the retrograde
movement Net one of them related to
the battle of Santiago.
The judge advocates cross-eXamina-
ton to-day covered the retrograde move
ment, the reconnaissance of May 81, the
loop of the Brooklyn and the alleged
collouuy with Lieutenant Hodgson about
the Texas.
One of the most interesting features of
the day was the development of the fact
that the report of the battle written by Ad-
miral Schley July 6, 1898, was not the
original report The original report never
has been published, and in accordance
with a previous decision, the court de-
clined to permit it to be introduced into
the record. Admiral Schley was allowed
to explain, however. that Admiral Samp-
son declined to receive, the first report
because it did not mention the presence
of the New York.
81 felt that the victory at that time, y
said Admiral Schley in explaining the
matter, was big enough for all and !
made this change out of generosity and
because / knew that if the New York had
been present she would have done as good
work asa any other vessel
Captain Thomas Borden, of the Marine
Corps, who was aboard the Brooklyn, will
be the last witness called for Admiral
Schley After he testifies tomorrow
morning the judge advocate general will
put on the stand the witnesses for re-
buttal, of whom there are understood to
be about fifteen, and it is probable that
Admiral Schley's counsel will call sew
eral witnesses in sur-rebuttal.

ACID DESTROYS
CZOLGOSZ'S BODY
Dust Of the Miserable
Creature Lies in an
Unmarked Grave.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

AUBURN, N. Y, Oct. 30.-In an un-
marked grave in the prison cemetery,
near the place of his execution lies the
dust of Leon F. Czolgosz. the assassin Of
President Mckinley. The body of the
miserable creature, who died gloating
over his crime, and whose last words
were an appeal TO anarchy, is already
completely destroyed. A preparation of
quickIirne and other deadly acids was
poured into the coffin before the body of
the murderer was placed in the prison
grave that consigns all but his memory
to oblivion Warden Mead and other
prison officials said that by this means
the body would be completely disintegra-
ted in less than twenty-four hours.
London Anarchists Active.
LONDON. Oct. 3O.-The anarchist clubs
of London celebrated the electrocution of
Czolgosz by dances in honor of his noble
death" Various groups met at their re-
spective headquarters at a late hour last
night and most of the gatherings only
dispersed at o'clock this morning, after
singing the ''Carma gnole." All the meet
ings Justify cheered every mention
of Czolgosz, whose portrait draped with
black and red, occupied the place of honor
on the platforms. There were remark
able scenes on the dispersal of the clubs,
groups Of anarchists shouting ''Vive la
Republique," singing the ''Carma gnole. -
dancing and shouting 'Czolgosz, the
brave" The police dispersed some Of the
groups
The increasing activity of the anar-
chists is causing some concern to the

Kansas Farmers Disgrace.
OTTAWA. Kan, Oct. 30-A story
reaches Ottawa from Centropolis small
town in the northwest part of the county,
of a farmer, a foreigner, who named his
infant son Leon Czolgosz and was driven
from the place by his neighbors. Accord
ing to the story, the man who admired
the assassin sufficiently to name his boy
after him, sought a priest who officia tes
in the neighborhood and asked that his
son be christened. When the ceremony
was being carried out and the name of
Leon CzolgosZ was pronounced for the
boy the priest Indignantly refused to pro-
ceed with the christening. Not only did
he stop the ceremony, but ne delivered a
singing rebuke to the parents When
the news of the affair was circulated
around the neighborhood the farmers de-
manded Of the parent that he leave.
Their threats of violence in case he did
not were effectual The man and his fam
lily have disappeared and will not be per-
mitted to return.

You are no American; you are an
