WAHnlnBton, Oc6. 5'--lne proceeu-
ings in the Schley inquiry yesterday
were as nearly devoid of incident and
interest as was possible. The priucipal
witness was Lieut. Wells. who spent
the afternoon OF Friday on the stand,
| and was yesterday cross examined at
length. Ire pains taken with Lieut..
Wells in cross examination was due to
his close relations with Commodore
Schley. Thsre was a good deAi of time
spent in bringing out the fact that Mr..
Wells was somewhat oareless as clerk.
He had stamped some of the dispatches
and letters received by the commodore
and others we're marked in pencil. In
many cases the receipt and endorse
ment were several days old. in two
cases the date had been written 24tn
and then overwritten 2}d. MIR. Wells
identified practically all the various
dispatches that have figured in the
trial. About the only striking point
that was brought out by the cross OK.

Army Tea mn Won.

Philadelphia, Dec. Probably the
most distinguished gathering that ever
witnessed football game in this coun-
try, and admittedly the greatest crowd
that ever entered the gates of Franklin
Field, saw West Point defeat Annapolis
this afternoon by the score of IL to 3.
From the moment that President Roose-
welt and his party entered the great am
phitheater until half an hour after the
timekeeper had blown his whistle an-
,nouncing the cessation of hostilities there
was continuous uproar such as probably
never has taken place on any football
field in the country. Even the president
and several members of his cabinet, work
ed up to nervous pitch by the game, LET,
. their seats in the private box which had
been set apart for their occupation and
took positions on the side line benches
which are usually used for substitute
players and injured. There was not seal
unoccupied, and hundreds of persons stoo.
around the field throughout the entire
game.

San Francisco, Dec. 1.-The Chinese are
preparing to make vigorous fight

quiring every Chinese in the United
States to contribute $40, the sum to be
used to attempt to defeat the exclusion
act.

amount is not forthcoming within one
month the amount will be doubled. Lest

forced contribution the proclamation adds
that Chinese desiring to return to China

showing that they have made the pay
ment, and in default of such receipts they
will be fined $40. The proclamation has
