THE GROWTH OF EARS.

The systematic examination OF more

sCHLEY's APPEAL TO PRESIDENT.
The NOluminOus Instrument Has Been
COnlpIeted bN His AIiarneNs

The Baltimore American of today says:
The appeal from the findings and report
of the court of inquiry which Admiral
Schley proposes to present to President
Roosevelt was completed yesterday by Mr.
Isidor Rayner and Mr. NJ. A. league. The
formal document is quite voluminous, maxi
ing over 100 pages of typewriter matter.
much of it being closely written excerpts
from the official record of the court. cited
in support of the claims set forth by the
petitioner. All told. there are more than
$4,000 words in the document. and it has
been prepared with the most painstaking
care and with great attention TO detail.
The contents of the appeal will not be
made known until after it has been filed
with the President, who will make ii public.
1t was learned last night. however, that the
document follows the general lines of Ad-
miral Dewey's dissenting opinion. Ii will
be remembered that in that opinion Ad-
miral Dewey dissented from the majority
of the court and gave a judgment complete
ly eXonerating Admiral Schley upon those
points on which the majority members Of
the court based the general verdict Of ''dil
atory and yacillating conduct and lack OF
enterprise" Admiral Dewey having COM
pletely eXonerated Admiral Schley on these
points, II follows that should the dissent
ing opinion be approved, the general judg-
ment of the majority members, which is
regarded by Admiral Schley's friends
being the worst feature of the report will
fall to the ground. In addition, Admiral
Dewey gave to Admiral Schley full and
complete credit for the victory of Santi-
ago, and this, if upheld by the President,
will be such an eXoneration as will, it is
believed, entirely satisfy the friends OF
the admiral.
Admiral Schley will reach Washington
from Savannah. where he is now visiting
Gen. w. W. Gordon Sunday evening or
Monday morning, and Immediately upon his
return Mr.. Rayner and Mr.. league will go
to meet him. The appeal will then be gone
over very carefully, signed and filed with
the President. 1t is expected to be in the
hands of the latter not later than Tuesday
morning. How long the President will take
for its consideration is not known but ii
is not expected that he will decide on the
appeal until he has had ample opportunity
to thoroughly digest its contents and to
fully investigate all the statements made
in,

FIERCE FIGHT WITH WOLVES.
Wisconsin Farmer Attacked by WiIt
Animals i'm His Barnyard.

A dispatch from Lacrosse. Wis, says:
After a desperate struggle with a pack of
wolves Olaf Halerud, a well-known far
mer, residing about ten miles north of here,
lies in a critical condition, with the nesh
literally torn from his body in many places.
Physicians say he cannot live. Thursday
night Halerud was awakened by disturb
ance among the animals in his barnyard.
Going out he was surrounded by a pack OF
wolves He attempted to regain his mouse,
but before he had gone twenty feet the
wolves were swapping and snarlins at his
heels.
He attempted to defend himself with a
club. but several times he was forced to
the ground, with the wolves upon him.
Each time, however, he managed to fight
them off until he regained his feet. Fight
ing his way inch by inch, he finally succeed
ed in reaching the door of his dwelling and
he staggered in and drew the bolt. Wolves
have been so numerous and their work SO
destructive in this vicinity of late that an
organized effort is being made to hunt them
down.

GENERAL LEE MAY
RENTER POLITICS
Says He Is Often Tempted to Again
Take Hand in Game.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 27.-There are
rumors that Gen. Fitzhugh Lee is TO re-
enter politics in this State. This comes
about probably from the fact that he is
beginning 20 take much interest in po-
litical matters. and discusses the situa-
tion freely with his close friends.
Some Of his friends say there are
numerous reasons for the belief that
General Lee is nos averse to again get
ting into the whirlpool Of politics. He is
making his home in Virginia and has
always had fondness for public at
fairs. In discussing the matter with
friends not long ago General Lee said
that he was often tempted TO jump in
and take a hand in some OF the political
games that are played from time to
time. and those close TO him expect MIN
10 DO so at almost any time.
