SCHLEY AT WHITE HOUSE

CONFERENCE.
A BETTER UNDERSTANDING REACHED
POSSIBILITY OF ENDING THE
CONTROVERSY.
CONTROVERSY.
Try TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIRrxE.l ]

Washington, Jan 6.-Rear Admiral Schley
went 10 the White House at noon to-day and
spent three-quarters Of an hour In private con-
ference with President Roosevelt The visit
made at the instance Of Schley himself who
several days a go wrote to the President asking
an appointment. When the admiral appeared
he promptly ushered into the Cabinet
room. where he quickly Joined by the
President. who excused himself to all other
callers for hour. The Presidents greeting
to the admiral whom he had not seen for sew
eral years was most cordial. and Admiral
schley appeared to he in a particularly pleasant
mood when he left the President
The visit gave rise TO animated discussion and
gossip wherever IL became known, producing
some astonishing speculation and rather far
fetched conjectures to the developments that
might be expected from the conference. Ad-
miral schley firmly declined to disclose any
thing Of the nature OF his mission and at the
Navy Department nothing whatever was known.
Secretary Long. who was with the President an
hour before the visit, did rot know that 'he
President had an appointment with Schley, and
had no intimation that such a meeting was CON
tempIated.
Those who guessed most industriousy and
knowingly connected Schley's visit to-day with
that of Admiral Dewey on Saturday. and ex-
pressed a conviction that another solution OF
the naval controversy was imminent. Whether
there is any substantial foundation for this be
lief IL certainly is not traceable 10 an author-
tative source
1t is a fact that Admiral Schley, on the ad-
vice Of his counsel. sought an opportunity to
lay directly before the President his story OF the
campaign, including many matters not brought
out before the court Of inquiry as well as to
point out instances of what he considered the
courts disregard of testimony in his favor.
He also wanted TO assure the President OF his
desire to end the matter and to avoid further
public agitation. Beyond this II may not be
known for several days what occurred in the
Cabinet room to-day, but ii is certain that a
better understanding exists than ever before.
and that the President is in a position to sue
ceed, where the Navy Department could not. in
effectually dispOsing of the affair.
Before leaving the White House Admiral
Schley told the President that he would start
on Thursday for a visit Of ten days AT Savan-
nah, TO General w w Gordon who served with
him the Porto Rcan Evacuation Commits
sion, and that next month he would make a
tour in the West.
Senator Proctor spoke TO the President to-
day before Schleys visit in favor of some
recognition for Captain Clark Of the Oregon for
his splendid work at Santiago Senator Proctor
is emphatic in his opinion that Captain Clark
deserves notable distinction for his conspicuous
services in the Spanish war.

GREAT WINDOW FALLS AT VENICE

supposed to BE Loosened by n Thunder
clap or Sinking of Site of City.
Venice, Aug. A great window in
the Basilica of the Dominican Church
of st. John and st. Paul fell in today
as the result Of having been shaken by
clap of thunder.
The church itself, which ranks next
in Importance to st. Marks, has
been declared by experts to be in
danger of collapse. 1t contains fine
monuments of the most famous
Doges. who lie buried there.
The collapse of the Campanile, the
famous bell tower of st. Marks. a few
weeks ago brought forth predictions
that the entire city of Venice would
sooner or later be wrecked by the
gradual sinking of the subsoil ON
which the city rests.
The same experts who declared the
fall of Campanile to be due to this
cause will hardly be satisfied with the
explanation that the fall today of the
Basiica's great window was due entire
ly to the thunderclap.
