ness said he und erstood that Com
modore Schley had this order before
leaving Key West, May 18Th.
The second orders from the depart
ment modifying the first Mr.. Wells
could not remember and did not know
whether Schley knew OF 1t or not. He
made the same statement regarding O
third order OF the same tenor.
These laser orders were addressed 10
Admiral Sampson on May 5 and g..
They give him authority to expose his
ships to the FIRE of shore batteries 10
case the Spanish ships of importance
were protected by such batteries. No
restriction, he said, was made upon
aggressive movements when their OBJ
iect was the destruction OF Spanish
warshlps. Captain Lemly's purpose
was to prove, If possible, that Schley
knew OF these orders and that there
was nothing to prevent him from
making determined attack upon the
Colon May 81. II prepared no paper
giving the order OF battle prior to June

witness written orders issued by Schley
April p. These he read, showing that
batteries were to be- kept ready for in-
slant use at any time OF day or night.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, late yester-

collector OF internal revenue for the
district of South Carolina. The posi-
ton, for which 3 dozen prominent re-
publicsus of the Palmetto State have

carries with 1t more patronage than Gil
the other federal positions in South

of MIR. Rooster, recommended by Sena-

THECONVENTION.

The constitutional convention yes
terday Incorporated the free speech
clause into the bill of rights. This clause
came up as an amendment for adoption
just after President Mckinley WAS shot
and under the excitement of the hour
was defeated by considerable vote.
Judge Green, chairman OF the commit
tee, made some remarks at the time
that we're widely quoted. He may a
speech yes erday against the uselessness
of the clause, but declare at its close that
the insertion OF the amendment was
matter OF indifference to him or the
committee. The amendment was adop-
ed by vote OF 81 to II.
The section as amended was then
adopted as amended. Section IL was
then adopted, and as amended resds:
THAT the freedom of the press is one of
the great bulwsrks of liberty, ard can
never be restrained but by despo,ic gov
ernments, and sny citizen may speak,
write and publish his sentiments on all
subjects, being responsible for the abuse
)f that liberty"
There were So members present,
making a good working quorum, but
number OF leaves OF absence were
granted, aud 10 view OF the danger OF
the convention being at a dead
lock for want OF a quorum, Mr.. Gordon,
of Richmond. offered an amendment to
the rules, which went over for two
days, providing that leaves of absence
be not granted members on account OF
sickness when there were as many as
twenty leaves 10 force.
A resolution was offered by MIR.
and adopted, abrogatiOg
the rule providing for afternoon seq
sions for the day only.
The bill of rights was then taken up,
and section ii was adopted after the
passage CT an amendment, offered BY
Mr.. Barbour. providing that jury OF
i've might be empaneled for the trial OF
Evil cases, now triable before ustice,
whether such cases are brought into |

peal or removal from justice.

engagement report ia going the rounds
OF society today. TIE young people
mentioned are Frank jay Gould. the
youngest son of Jay Gould, and Miss
Helen Kelly, daughter of the .ate Ed

ing large sums, have not yet been set

Senator Carl Nippert was member

against the Clark Local Option bill.
He practices law in Cincinnati and is
regarded as one of its best German

profitable job bat it is not believed Cox
will lind him hard to handle.
