DEwEY's REPORT APPROVED.
Stamp of Approval Set Upon It by
CHICAGO Board Of Trade.

Chicago. Jan. 15.--The Chicago board
of trade at its meeting Monday put the
stamp of approval on Admiral Dewey's
minority report In the Schley controver-
sy, and as representative body of
Chicago business men sent memorial
to congress asking that the circumstan-
ces and events that might throw light
on the situation be examined into. This
action was rot taken without lengthy
discussion ard objections from several
members, who expressed themselves
satisfied with the report of the naval
commission. Following are the resolu-
tons:
r. G. Chandler introduced the resolu-
tons, but tefore Secretary Stone had
finished reading them he was interrupt
ed by j. b. Rumsey, who tried to have
them tabled unread, as out of place in
board of trade meeting.
He got no satisfaction, and Mr.. Chan
dler made speech for their passage
which was SO full of emotion that his
voice trembled while he spoke. 1T is
evident to anybody who read the re-
port of the trial." he said. that Schley
was not treated fairly. 1t is eminently
proper for the board to demand for him
fair play"
What do we know about the facts? ?"
retorted Mr.. Rumsey. The proper Of
ficials of the government are alone able
to decide, and If we are wise and mind
our own business we will not try to tell
them the facts where we are ourselves
ignorant and incapable of Judgment"
The resolutions as passed are:
Whereas, Efforts were made not only
to detract from the glory due Rear Adj
Miral Schey for his signal victory over
the Spanish fleet off Santiago, but to
denounce his glorious plans of battle on
that occasion and to charge that gallant
and generous officer with cowardice in
the face of the enemy: and,
Whereas. Such efforts We're go per-
sistent that Admiral Sschley was forced
out of self-respect. to demand court of
inquiry by the governments:
Whereas, Tho the verdict of that
court of inquiry left no stain upon his
reputation as a gallant and brave off,
Ger, yet two members of that tribunal
denounced his conduct of that battle, in
spite OF the fact that n glorious victory
was won, and denied that he was chief
in command; and,

patriotism and who, as the hero Of the

CAMP COOK DRIVES A MOOSE
navel Problem That Has Been
Brought before the Game CONF
missioners of Maine.

The game commissioners OF Name
are considering an interesting propo-
sition ut this time as IA result OF the
discovery made by Warden Pollard, of
Foxcroft, on recent trip to Chesun-
cook lake, reports an eastern ex-
change.
The warden visited the lumber camp
of w. II. Emery, of Gardiner. There
he found that the camp cook had
the strangcst draft animal in all
Maine, which he used to take the din
ners of the crew from the camp to
the scene of their labors mile or more
away.
1t was a big bull moose, which had
been captured by the crew, and which
he had broken to harness. The game
law Of Maine makes it illegal to have
moose in ones possession during the
close time, which begins on December
| and closes on October Is.
The question troubling the commits
sioners and the warden is this: Does
the law contemplate live as well as
dead moose? The commissioners have
not yet settled the matter to their
own satisfaction, but are inclined &c
believe that the law includes live
moose.

feet above the level of the Caribbean
sea and entertainments will be re-
quired for long distances, not only
to maintain the canal from wlthlh'

soil, moreover, is often unsuitable
even for the toughest of embank-
ments that clay for their construc-
ton will have to be brought from

He had been longtime offender
and Mr.. Myers had for years made
