Washington, Jan. 29.-The navy de-
partment has made public Admiral
Schley's appeal, delivered TO the presi-
dent about week ago. The depart
ment's comment" will be published in
d day or two.
Admiral Schley appeals to the presi-

mander-in-ch of the army and navy,
vested with power TO regulate and
direct the acts of the several executive
officers thereof" and he asks that the
president review the findings of the
court.
He asks this on three grounds, in
each case basing his appeal on the
findings of Admiral Dewey as opposed
to the majority report. These three
grounds are set out cOmpendiously in
the petition, which fills about eight
printed pages of a pamphlet and is
signed by Admiral Schley and by
Messrs, Rayner, Parker and league of
his counsel. Attached to The petition
are three exhibits, Il" b" and &C. 8"
each made up of copious extracts from
the testimony taken by the court Of
inquiry and intended TO confirm the
statements of fact made in the petit

In this latter document the first
ground of appeal is the holding Of Sec

courts findings that ''the conduct Of
the court in making no finding, and
rendering no opinion on those questions

suggested step, but that it appeals 10
GreaJ Britain on the ground of common
humanity for military permission for the

Such permission would bind neither the
British government TO the discussion OF

VAN SAINT REFUSES REQUEST
OF BUSINESS MEN TO STOP FIGHT

to prevent, if possible, the consolida-
ton referred to, because such CONSOLE
dation is in violation of the clear and
unmistakable provisions of the laws
which have been on the statute books
for over a quarter of a century. Not
only is the letter of the law but also
the settled policy of this state against
the consolidation of parallel and com
peting railroad lines Competition in
the matter of rates always has been
and ever viii be beneficial to the peo-
pie, and no speciOus argument or state
ment from those desiring TO do away
with such competition is sufficient TO
meet plain facts derived from common
experience.
However, the question whether the
law is wise or unwise does not con-
front me. The law exists and has been
violated-my duty is plain. 1 therefore
must respectfully decline to comply
with the requests contained in your pc
tition, and shall continue as vigorously
as possible to Yindicate the laws Of our

nounced the war as "unrighteous and
unjust"
He believed that both members of
congress and private citizens had the
right TO hold views in opposition to the
administrations imperial policy" and
to express those views without sub

army officers.
Mr.. Stewart delivered a brief speech,
in which he declared that the people
never would consent to relinquish the

prove of immense value to this country
