WNDlcAnoN FOR scHLEY
"Loop" Of Brooklyn Saved the Day at
Santiago.

New York.-The controversy which
followed the naval battle of Santiago
and resulted in a court of inquiry to con-
slider charges that practically amounted
to an accusation of cowardice against
Admiral then Commodore Winfield
Schley, was reopened in a most sGrpris-
ing way by the publication of a history
of the Spanish-American war from the
pen of Admiral F. E. Chadwick, COM
mander of the flagship New York and
Admiral William I. SIMPSONS chief-of-
staff at the time of the battle.
Now comes Admiral Chadwick, who
was Commodore Simpsons chief aid,
with a partly documentary history of the
Spanish-American war and by the docu-
ments given in reference to the naval
battle of Santiago drives home the i'm
preston that the "loop" by the Brooklyn
instead of being a discreditable feat, was
in fact a brilliant and p~raiseworthy mil
itary maneuver, for which Commodore
Schley and Capt. Cook should have beer
given great praise.

A number OF persons in Scotland
make a livelihood by searching for
the precious stones which are occa-
sionally to be found ~ensconced In the
Interior OF fresh-water mussels. To a
lesser extent 1t Is also carried out on
some English and Welsh streams. but
none of these is SO prolific in pearl
bearing as the northern rivers, says
the London Globe. There are anthem
tic. records of Scotch pearls being
found which rivaled any the orient
has produced 30 far as tr%anslucency
and flawlessness are concerned. A
writer of the eighteenth century states
that 100000 was a moderate estimate
Of the value Of pearls hen fished an
nually from Scottish rivers, while It
is a matter of history that a German
who formed a syndicate OF fisheries
In 1865 acquired stones to the value
OF 912,000 in that year alone. But
the industry is not so remunerative
nowadays.

Washington.-While the friends OF
DR.. Wiley haye been greatly pleased by
the presidents decision commencing his
administration of the pure food laws,
there is a growing discomfort becaues
something further has not been done to
lift him from the hopeless minority in
which he finds himself on the board of

Congress intended that the pure food
law should be administered through the
chief chemist and the bureau of chem
istry. General order No. lao still re.
mains in effect and a board of three,
with DR.. Wiley in the minority, ia the
real arbiter of pure food questions.
DR.. Wiley testified before the house
committee that Solicitor McCabe and
Assistant Chemist Dunlap generally
voted together in this board. In Other
words, Mr.. McCabe and Mr.. Dunlap 1.-THE
former without claims of being a chem

BUREAU TO PASS ON COTTON
Liverpool Buyers Heed Not the Protests

New York.-The Central Bureau OF
Valuation of Cotton Bills Of Lading, re-
Gently established in this city for the pre-
vention of frauds in connection with
forged bills, will not be abandoned, de-
spite the recent rejection of the plain
by a conference of shippers in New Or
leans. Charles S. Haight, attorney for
the committee of Liverpool cotton buy
ers, on his return from New Orleans,
said that the action of the New Orleans
meeting did not fairly reflect the opinion
of Southern shippers. OF the fifty or
more shippers and bankers who attend
ed the meeting, he said, only eleven voted
to reject the plan, while the Others re-
fused to go on record either for or
against it.

in reply to letters sent out to them ex'

ages to be obtained therefrom," said Mr.,
Haight, "show an overwhelming majority

AVIATOR BURNED TO DEATH
Gasoline Tank Exploded While He Was
Flying.

Troy, O.-Forced into the air by the
jeers of thousands, who called him a.
coward, Frank H. Miller, aged 30, .
Toledo aviator, took flight at twilight
this evening, and at the height OF 200
feet was burned to- death before the
eyes of the terrified spectators on the
Miami county fair grounds here.
Miller had circled the race track and
was just starting for a spiral glide when
IL was seen that something was wrong.
The birdman could be seen to frantically
attempt to get his machine under con-
troll, when suddenly the whirring OF the
propellers ceased. The craft then dropped
like a shot for q distance of fifty feet,
when a tiny blue flame was seen coming
from the engine.
An instant later the gasoline tank ex.
ploded.
When the body was pulled from under
the wreckage Miller's clothing was
burned from his body and his face was
| almost unacceptable. Rapid work Of
rescuers saved the body of the aviator
| from total incarceration.

HITS WAGON,

ING A MILE A MINUTE.
Catastrophe Happened Because Billboard
Hid Two Moving Objects From
Each Other.

Neenah, Wis.-Sixteen deaths proba-
bly, will result from a mile-a-minute
passenger train crashing into a party OF
t~hirty-one merry young people loaded
upon a hayrack here Sunday. A big
Billboard obscured from view the loco
motive as well as the wagon. Mist and
fog did the rest.
Twelve persons on the hayrack were
instantly killed, one ha. since died, and
three out of eight others injured are
believed to be fatally hurt.
Armless, legless and headess bodies
covered the right of way as the train
of nine coaches was brought to . stop
500 feet from the scene of the crash.
Several bodies were so badly mutilated
that Identification was possible only BY
fragments of clothing.
Six of the victims, all dead, were dis,
covered on the engine pilot, where they
lay until removed by the train crew and
passengers. Two others were hurled
through a fagman's shanty with such
| force as to overturn the little structure
One of these, Miss Finn, was still alive
when picked up. She died a few hour
later. Another of the victims killed wal
thrown high over a barn fifty feet from
the railway ri~ght-of-way.
Among the occupants of the hayracl
who escaped were Mr.. and Mrs. JOSEPH
Brizinski and child of two years. They
were seated in the front half OF thu
rack, the mother holding the child il
her lap. About half way back in tn
wagon sat Mary Schwartzbauer. Thu
latter was hurled about fifty feet an'
rendered unconscious. When found b.
rescuers the Brinzinski child was in Mis-
Schwartzbauer's arms, having escapes
unscathed. The parents of the chill
were only slightly injured.

at 11:35 o'clock steaming at q moderate
speed eastward on her way to Cherboure
to pick up the continental passengers
She already had on board nearly 1900
persons, excluding the crew.
The warship, moving at great speed
followed the liner, but apparently wal
| quite clear of her. Suddenly she swerve(
in and before the passengers could real
ize what was happening, struck tn
liner on the starboard quarter near tn
stern, tearing through . section abou'
forty feet in extent. The miracle !

The liners frame stood the shock well
and the water-tight doors, which auto
