Governor A. NJ DockeFy In Fulton SIM
Governor Dockery was asked Mon
day whether he had anything to sub.
init in addition TO the Official state
ment Of State Auditor Allen In refer.
ence to the reports Of the alleged tex
perts, which recently appeared in the
Globe-Democrat. The Governor repli.
ed:
II have never seen more farcical
performance than the antics Of these
Globe Democrat experts No two Of
the five so-called experts agreed in
their findings. They should get to-
gether' and reconcile their differences
before they ask other people to seri-
ously consider their statements. Their
exhibits are out Of balance, each with
the other, by more than $4,000, 900,
as was clearly and forcefully shown by
the Republic in its editorial Of last
Thursday.
"Some months ago this administra-
tion employed a firm OF experts of ma
tional reputation for ability and in
tegrity, and had searching inyestiga-
tion made OF the States accounts for
the past 80 years. Itrequired weeks
of hard work for the four experts to
90 through all the accounts covering
this long period When the work had
been concluded, it was found that
every Collar OF the State funds had
been honestly accounted for during
the entire period OF Democratic con-
tr0l.

been making unwarranted assault
upon the Democratic management Of

ed TO inspect the books and give the
assurance that every assistance would
be afforded to enable tito ascertain all

KNOX REVIEWS scHLEy CASE.
Attorney General VIII Pass Upon Al.
!aaed ijJeuaiities

Washington, Jan 10.-The Post
gays The case of Rear Admiral
Schley is row being considered by the
attorney general for the purpose Of
discovering whether there was any ille-
gality in connection with the court Of
inquiry.
1t is understood that at the recent
conference between the president and
Rear Admiral Schley the lated point
ed out some alleged violations of law
in regard to the court and these mat
ters have been deemed worthy of ex-
animation.
The attorney general is not to pass
upon the merits of the case, but will
deal solely with its legal phase. If
he shall find that the court was prop
erly constituted, that the precept was
legally drawn and that the rules Of
law We're followed, as to the evidence,
1t will then be within the province
of the president to consider the case
upon its merits. If the attorney gem
eral decides that there were illegali.
ties, as claimed by Admiral Schley,
the verdict of the court would be vita
ted. 1t is understood that Admiral
Schley's future course concerning
formal appeal in writing to the presi-
dent will depend largely on the de-
cision Of the attorney general.

A quick yyitted Doctor.

A certain French surgeon, of whom
The Young Ladies Journal tells, had so
much more thought for his patient than
for his own safety on one occasion that
he resorted to an eXpedient which, al
though etficacious, might have resulted
in his own death.
He had been commissioned to bleed
the grand seignior and either through
timidity or nervousness had met with
an awkward accident. The point of
the lancet broke off in the vein, and the
blood would not flow.
That point must be got out somehow.
Without stopping to consider the con-
sequences to himself, the surgeon gave
his highness a violent slap in the face.
This produced the desired effect, for
surprise and Indignation en- the part
of his august patient put the blood into
violent circulation. The vein bled free
ly, and the lancet point came out.
The bystanders We're about to lay
hands on the surgeon when he said,
First let me finish the operation and
bandage the wound" This done, he
threw himself at the feet of the sultan
and explained his action
The sultan not only pardoned him,
but gave him a handsome reward for
keeping his wits about him in critical
moment.
