ment not to sell American goods for a
term Of years. but expressing willing

chairman declared that no one. outside
OF a lunatic asylum would sign such an
agreement which would make them the
servants Of the Imperial Tobacco Com
pany. While the Americans offered a
large bonus. no restrictions were placed
upon the dealers.
The Belfast tobacco dealers. at g.
meeting today decided to accept the
American proposition.
The feeling among the London tobac-
conists. exemplifed at a big meeting

LAST OF THE SCHLEY CASE.
House Naval Affairs Committee Re-
fuses to Take Up the Matter.

Washington. March 21.-The house
committee on naval affairs, by
a vote of Z to 4. today adopted a res
olution concurring in the conclusions
of President Roosevelt as to terminating
the agitation of the Schlev controversy
and indefinitely p~ostponing all bills
and resolutions on the subject. Th5
report of the subcommittee as adopter
gives all the various resolutions which
have been introduced and saws:
your subcommittee to whom tbs
~Serveral bills and resolutions intrOdur-
ed in the house in relation to Rear
dmiral Schley were referred has had
the same under consideration and pre-
sents the following report thereon:
The unfortunate controversy in CON
nectiOn with the Santiago campaign has
attracted wide public attention and has
been the subject of four official inquir-
les and Investigations. viz: BY President
Mckinley; by the United States court
of claims; by the naval court Of in
duiry. asked for by Admiral Schley. ana
by President Roosevelt OIL appeal from
the finding of the naval court Of in
uuirv.
president Roosevelt concluded his
finding in the following words.
I'm conclding their report the men,
bers Of the court of inquiry, Admirals
Dewey, Benham and Ramsey, united in
stating that they recommended that III.
further action be had in the matter
With this recommendation I most
heartily concur. There is no excuse
whatever from either side for any
further agitation of this unhappy con
troversy. To keep it alive would mere
ly do damage to h navy and to the
country
Your subcommittee having in view
the interest of the American navy and
all concerned fully concurs in the con-
illusions expressed in the words of Pres
ident Roosevelt above quoted.
I'VE. therefore, recommend that
further consideration of said bills and
resolutions be indefinitely postponed
and that no further action be taken
thereon"
The vote was on party lines. except
that Mr.. Mudd. of Maryland. voted with
the democrats against adopting the re-
port.
Prior To the disposition of the subject.
Mr.. Mudd moved a favorable report on
his resolution giving the thanks ~
congress to Admiral Schley and the ~
fcers and men who served with him
in he battle of Santiago. This was
lost by a vote of 1 to Z.
