ITS HISTORY m ALLEGORY
FEATURE OF YESTERDAY'S CELE
BRATIOX AT YALE.
Students' Performance in thc-Ampnl-thcnter
on the Campus Ad
dresses of tlie Day.
KEXV HAVEN, Conn.. Oct. 22. Scholar
ly presentations of Yale University's re
lations to political affairs, university foot
ball, the performance of an oratorio, a
student dramatic performance and a jol
lification in song by graduates, young and
old, constituted the features of this day's
programme of Yale's bicentennial. The
exuberant and spectacular demonstration
of last night, with all its fatigue, seemed
not to dampen the enthusiasm of today.
The first exercise was in Bethel Chapel.
The first address was delivered by Cyrus
Northrop, L.L, D.. Yale, '57, president of
the University of Minnesota, who ipoke,
on the text, "Yale in Its Relation to the
Development of the Country." He enu
merated the political and educational
leaders graduated from the university,
and briefly sketched their careers. He
then said:
"But the real history of a country Is
not the record of its great men, either in
war or In peace. It Is rather an account
of the development and progress of the
people and especially so in thjs country,
whene the people's will can govern and
really does govern, and where the wisest
leaders, before they speak, listen for the
voice of the pecple. The hope of the coun
try is not in the astuteness and ability of
its great men, but in the virtue, intelli
gence and good sense of the great body
of the people."
The second and last address of the day
was delivered by Daniel Coit Gllman, LL.
D., Yale, 52, president of the Johns Hop
kins University. He treated of the rela
tion of Yale University to letters and sci
ence. In a great amphitheater, bedecked with
blue and illuminated with long strings
of orange-hued lanterns and greek fire
flaming and smoking skyward from poles
erected about the campus, the Sons of
Tale witnessed tonight an allegorical per
formance by the dramatic association of
the university, and listened to the songs
of the student chorus, drilled especially
for this feature of the bicentennial cele
bration. The students and graduates
ranged themselves by classes within the
ampitheater, nearly 8000 strong, every
class having ' a distinctive transparency
to mark its position, and joined with
vigor in the bicentennial songs. The space
within the great oval of seats occupied
by the Yale men was filled with a throng
of -which ladies formed the chief part.
The amphitheater was erected in the
center of the old campus, facing the south
middle dormitory, in front of which the
temporary stage for the amateur perform
ers was built. On this open-air stage
the members of the dramatic association
presented a performance symbolio of suc
cessive events in the history of Yale.
"The Founding of the Collegiate School,
1701," was the first scene, picturing the
house of Rev. Mr. Russell, of Branford,
where 10 clergymen were gathered, each
hrlnging the treasured volumes which he
had promised for the establishment of
the new college. Following this wa9 a
scene representing the removal of the
school library from Saybrook to New
Haven after the struggle in which Gov
ernor Saltonstall, a Sheriff, and citizens
of New Haven played prominent parts;"
then an inspection by General "Washing
ton of the Yale company of volunteers,
and next an effective tableau of the exe
cution of Nathan Hale, the martyr spy.
Other scenes depicted the quaint cere
monies of Initiation Into the old fresh
man societies; the rites Incidental to the
burial of "Euclid ; glimpses of life about
the historic Yale fence by day and night;
the Interior of a student's room; scenes
typical of things familiar to every grad
uate, and the linale, snowing the students
In chapel.
Between oach of the scenes there were
familiar college songs by the student
chorus, in which all the thousands of
graduates ranged about the amphitheater
heartily participated. Several bands were
stationed at the campus, and at intervals
added to the musical demonstration of
the evening. The "Baola" song was
given with an unction never known before
when A. M. Hirsch, its composer, of the
class of '31, known familiarly as Vop,"
the catcher of the baseball team for two
years, rose from his seat In response to
calls from the amphitheater and personal
ly led the great chorus. An even more
impressive feature of an impromptu na
ture was the reception accorded the ren
dition of the "Dosology" In the closing
chapel scene. Thousands of voices joined
In the music, and when the likeness of
Elihu Yale was presented on the stage
there was an outburst of applause. Some
one immediately started the refrain,
"Bright College Years," All the immense
assembly caught up the familiar words,
and when the line, "For God, for Country
and for Yale," was reached, by common
Impulse the wearers of the blue arose
from their teats in a hody and rendered
the sentiment with bared heads. At that
moment hundreds of bombs were exploded
In the rear of the, amphitheater seats,
and amid cheers and class yells the as
semblage dissolved.
The New Haven green was again bril
liant tonight with ropes and stars of
many-hued electric lights, and as an ad
dition to the illumination, the whole green
was encircled with colored lanterns. A
band concert was given In the early part
of the evening.
One of the most notable exercises of
the day was the choral performance by
the Gounod Society of New Haven, of
the oratorio "Hora Novissima." Samuel
L. Clemens, who is one of the bicenten
nial guests, was the recipient of popular
honor&. both at the performance of the
oratorio and at the campus celebration.
PRESIDENT AT FARMIXGTOX.
A Day of Rides, "Walks and Recep
tion. FARMINGTON, Conn., Oct 22. Presi
dent Roosevelt's , day In-Farmlngton pro
vided quite a notable addition to the his
torical annals of this ordinarily quiet old
town. The Intention of the President's
sister, Mrs. Cowlce, to make the occasion
a private affair, was con.siderably over
come by the anxiety of the people to see
the President and to take his hand. The
President's day was filled with enjoyable
rides, walks and receptions. It was con
cluded th evening with a dinner given at
the home of Commander and Mrs. Cowles.
Among the guests at the dinner were the
President and his daughter. Miss Alice
Hoosevelt; Secretary Cortelyou, Assistant
Secretary Barnes, United States. Senators
Joseph R. Hawley and Orvllle H. Piatt
and their wives, and Governor George P.
McLean. Between his two rides the Presi
dent and a few friends took a long tramp
to Pinnacle Mountain. The afternoon was
chiefly devoted to receptions, first to the
young women of the Porter School, and
second to the guests Invited by Mrs.
Cowles to meet her brother. The two Con
necticut Senators and their ladles assisted
Jn receiving.
One of the features of the day was the
planting of the McKihley oak on the pub
lic green opposite the picturesque and his
toric Elm Tree Inn. President Roosevelt
declined to take part in thla on the
ground that it would not be in good, taste
to do so on this occasion after having
declined other similar invitations. Gov
ernor McLean and Major Harbison, of
Hartford, were the principal speakers at
the exercises. The town was well policed
by Deputy Sheriffs and Constables, the
customary warning having been sent out
in advance by the Chief of Police at
Washington. The secret-service men foi.
lowed the President's party as far as pog
glblet but were unablo always to. keep
track of the rapid changes. The Presi
dent will leave Farmlngtori at 6:10 tomor
row evening and will arrive" in New Haven
about an hour later.
Hay Goes to New Haven.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. Secretary Hay
left Washington today for New Haven,
where he will receive a degree from Yale.
.FREDERIC ARCHER DEAD.
Organist ot Carnegie Music Hall,
Pittsburg.
PITTSBURG, Oct. 22. Frederic. Archer,
organist of Carnegie Music Hall, and one
of the best-known musicians of the coun
try, died at his home in this city today
of cancer of the stomach, aged 63 years.
Archer Well Known to Portlanders.
Frederic Archer was English by birth
but American by adoption, having made
his home In this country. for the' past 20
years. He was entirely self-taught as an
organist. During the early part of his
career he spent much time In travel, mak
ing himself familiar with leading schools
of organ playing in all parts of the
world. There was not a famous organ in
Europe that he did not know by heart,
for he had a large comparative knowledge
of the various methods employed by Rus
sian, French and German organ-builders,
and as a concert organist of the first rank
In Europe had enjoyed exceptional oppor
tunities of testing their work.
In this country he spent some time In
Milwaukee as church organist. About 10
years ago he accepted, a permanent posi
tion as organist at Carnegie Hall, Pitts
burg, and while there gave each-year an
important series of free concerts, number
ing about 50 annually. He also became
conductor of the now famous symphony
orchestra of Pittsburg, which was practi
cally organized by him. This work was
successfully carried on by him till Victor
Herbert succeeded him as conductor.
During the past 20 years he has prob
ably given more organ recitals and opened
more new organs in various partB of the
country than any man in America. His
superb technique eminently fitted him to
show off a great organ to advantage, and
for this reason organ-builders were always
glad to have him give opening recitals.
Portland people will remember his visit
to this city at the time the great Ryder
organ In the First Presbyterian Church
was dedicated. That was in 1890. He
gave three concerts that year, and an
other upon his return the following sea
son. He was the first really great organ
ist to visit Portland, an- his success
here was unprecedented.
"It was part of the contract that the
organ should be tested by a well-known
expert," said Edgar E. Coursen, who has
had charge of Ihis organ since its com
pletion, "and Frederic Archer was the
man selected. He had a heavier reed put
In, and one or two other changes made in
It, eo that as it now stands it meets with
his approval in every way. I remember
that the morning he tried it he merely
played half a dozen chords on it and then
walked away. He did not go near the
organ again till the hour for his recital
arrived. He had seen at a glance the
exact capacity of the organ, yet the firm
that made It had never turned out so big'
an organ before. This was the first three
manual manufactured by them, so that he
could not have been familiar with their
work.
"I consider Frederic Archer without an
equal, either in this country or in Europe,
as an exponent of the orchestral school
of organ playing. He was wonderfully
resourceful. I doubt whether Gulimant
himself, the great Frenchman, compares
with him in registration.
"I once saw a list of the programme
numbers played by him during an entire
year, and it Included, I remember, a
thousand compositions, about one-half of
them being his own arrangements. He
had an enormous repertory. His, arrange
ments were usually quite difficult. He Is
the author of several Instruction books
which rank high among organists. They
are much more difficult and more aa;
vanced than Stainer's, which Is the book
generally used by beginners.
"Frederic Archer was a big, bluff man,
fully 6 feet 2 Inches In height. He was
full of anecdotes, a most pleasant racon
teur." Dr. G. 31. Bartlett.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 22. Dr. G.
M. Bartlett. for 21 years president of the
Maryville College, Maryville, Tenn., died
today, aged SI years.
THE POWERS TRIAL,
Defense "Will Close Its Case Thurs
day or Friday.
The attorneys for the defense in the
trial" of Caleb Powers stated today that
they will qlose their case by Thursday or
Friday. It is believed that a verdict will
be rendered before Saturday night.
P. M. O'Reilly, an insurance man of
Louisville, who was in the Senate cham
ber when Goebel was shot, said it was his
impression that the shots were fired di
rectly in front of the Statehouse, and not
far from the Executive building. Ex
State Treasurer George W. Long testified
that the morning of January 30, the day
Goebel was shot, he was Instructed by
W. S. Taylor to go to Louisville with
Caleb Ppwers and Walter R. Day and
make arrangements to bring men to
Frankfort from Western Kentucky. Ed
Mentz, of Glasgow Junction, and J. Frank
Taylor, of Glasgow, testified that Jan
uary 30 they received telegrams frppi G.
W. Long calling them to Louisville, and
when they reached Louisville, Mr. Long
told them he had wanted them to bring
some men to Frankfort from Western
Kentucky, but the shooting of Goebel
had upset all plans, and that the men
would not be brought.
Ex-State Treasurer "Walter R. Day le?
tifled that he and Powers went to Louis
ville, January 30, to make arrangements
to bring men from Western Kentucky
to petition the Legislature. When Ca
leb Powers heard that Gqebel had been
shot, Mr. Day testified that he said: "It's
an outrage, and it will ruin our chances
to gain our 001066."

almost north. Lieutenant Simpson had
fired the first gun from the eight-inch
turrets and, calling to Commodore Schley,
said: "How is that?" To this, the Com.
modore replied: "Didn't see it, Simpson,
but keep at it." Continuing, the witness
said that by the time, the Brooklyn had
completed her turn (a'nd he thought the
turn had been continuously to the right)
the three leading Spanish ships had
emerged from the harbor. The witness
thought they had come out in fan-shape
order.
"The Commodore," he said at this point,
"stood all the time on the side of the firo
so he could see what was doing. He wrs

Ellis' head was shot off, he wiped soma

the men picked the body up to throw it
over, while the rest of us stood horrified,
he calmly said: 'Don't throw that body
over. Take i below and we'll give It

ashore, the Commodore went into the

ELECTED SOVEREIGN GRAND, C03I3IANDER OF SCOTTISH RITE
3IASONS FOR THE SOUTHERN JURISDICTION.
"WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. Representative James D. Richardson, of Tennessee,
was today elected sovereign grand commander of the Ancient anMA.ccepted Order
of the Scottish Rite of Free Masonry for the "Southern jurisdiction of the United
States. He has been acting grand commander ever since the death of the last
Brand commander, Thomas Caswell, of San Francisco. The following other of
ficers were elected: Samuel Emery Adams, Minnesota, lieutenant grand command
er, succeeding: Mr. Richardson; Martin Collins, St. Louis, grand chancellor, and
Rufus E, Flemlns, Fargo, N. D., grand minister of state. About 200 Masons,

gone but one; it all (depends upon you,
"Did you see the Oregon?" aeKetJ Mr-1
Raynor.
' ''Very distinctly. I saw her coming up
about the time we were beginning to get
scared. The Brooklyn was fighting alone
three of the Spanish ships, when sud
denly I saw in the distance a white Hne,
which soon developed into the Oregon.
That occurred about the time the Oquendo
went ashore."
"Did you see the Texas before the
turn?"
"I saw her just before the turn. She
appeared to me to be inside of us. We
turned continuously to the right, accord
ing to my recollection."
Schley Not Excited,
"Did you ever see Commodore Schley
when he appeared to be laboring under
any mental excitement"
Oh, no. He was jovial and good natured
at all times, and I did not observe the
least trace of excitement or anxiety,
except at one time. That was when it
looked as if the Colon might get away.
He expressed fear that that might occur,
and seemed muah concerned. I remem
ber that he discussed with Captain Cook
the advisability of stopping to couple his
engines before dark, fearing that Jf post
poned until later the Spaniards might get
away."
At this point Mr. Raynor began an ex
amination of the witness concerning con
versation reported to have taken place
between Commocjore Schley and Captain
Evans, of the Iowa, after the battle, but
before the examination had gone far it
was objected to by Captain Lemly.
"Were you," asked Mr. Raynor, "pres
ent at any conversation hetween Captain
Evans and Commodore Schley?"
"Yes, sir; in the Commodore's cabin on
the Brooklyn on July 5," Mr, Graham re
plied. "When Evans came in the first
time he said: 'Schley, did you see Jack
Philip run away with the Texas,' and
Commodore Schley said: 'No, neither did
you.' "
Admiral Dewey (addressing counsel)
One moment. Poor Philip Is not present,
you know.
Mr. Raynor That has gone n In Cap
tain Evans' testimony.
Captain Lemly In cross-examination
something in regard to It has gone in.
I cannot see what bearing it hag.
Mr. Raynor We do not want to prove
anything about what Captain Philip said.
This Is a conversation in which Commo
dore Schley was present.
Captain Lemly You propose to contra
dlot what you drew out in cross-examination?
Mr, Raynor Why ,of course.
Captain Lemly I object, If the court
please. This has 'nothing whatever to do
with the case. Captain Philip is dead and
Admiral Evans is out of the country. I
Object on that ground, which I think is
quite sufficient To further discuss the
matter, even on my part, would be to do
the same harm to the dead and to the
absent man.
Mr. Raynor I am glad my brother puts
it on the second ground, and not on the
firstj because the slightest reflection will
satisfy him that I have the right to con
tradict what his own witness has Eald on
cross-examination. The cross-examination
don't make him my witness. When Com
modore Schley gets on the stand, he
would like to have the opportunity of
stating what that conversation was. Cap
tain Evans has stated it. Why cannot Ad
miral Schley state it? Why cannot one
who was present state it? It does not
reflect in any degree upon Admiral Evans
and certainly not upon Captain Philip. It
would be unjust, unfair to permit that
statement to remain in the record with
out the opportunity to contradict it by the
people who were present If Commodore
Schley was not present, of course, it
would not be admissible.
Captain Lemly How does this affect
Commodore Schley's conduct in battle? 1
fwant to bring It down to the precept.
Mr. Kaynor Are, there no other specifi
cations in the precept except Commodore
Schley's conduct In battle? Is there no
specification directly relating to thatv
That It was the Brooklyn which made the
turn and not the Texas? The point Is an
important one to us because it will occur
many timps during Admiral Schley's testi
mony, as we expect to ask him a hundred
times with reference to what other wit
nesses have paid.
Captain Parker spoke briefly, saying
there could possibly be no reflection upon
Captain Philjp by repeating the conversa
tion. "We, all honor Philip too highly for
that," he said.
Mr. uanna contended that the question
was not admissible, unless intended to im
peach the testimony of Captain Evans.
Incidentally, he objected to the "vigorous
and various verbosity of counsel for the
applicant."
The Court's Dcclolon.
Admiral Dewey then announced that the
court would retire for the. consideration
of the point raised. After being out for
20 mlnutea the members returned and Ad
miral Dewey announced the decision in
the following terms:
"'The court decides that the questions in
tended to Impugn the credibility of a wit
ness; intended to prove any point re
garding the movements of the Brooklyn
during the battle of July 3; intended to
prove any statements made by Commodore
Schley of conversations held with Commo

precept are admissible provided such
conversations or statements occurred In
the presence of and within the hearing
of the witness."
Mr. Raynor then repeated hla question,
asking him to repeat the conversation,
which Mr. Graham did as follows:
"Captain Evans came into the cabin. 1
sat at a round tablein the center. Com
modore Schley got up and shook hands
with Captain Evans, and the Tatter said:
'Schley, did you see Philip turn around
and run out of the fight?' The Commo
dore said: 'No, neither did you.' H$ did
not run out of the fight' Captain Evans
said: 'Oh, yes he did. I saw him.' Cap-,
tain Evans said he was in the next ship
and saw him. The Commodore said: 'It
was not the Texas at all. The Texas was
in the iight all the time. The ship you
saw turn around was the Brooklyn.' "
The court at this point took the' usual
recess for luncheon. When the court be
gan its afternoon session, Mr. Raynor an
nounced that he had n,o more questions
to ask Mr. Graham. Captain Lemly asked
no questions. Mr. Graham said In reply
to questions by the court that during
the conversation between Captain Sigsbee
and Commodore Schley the squadron had
been heading toward Santiago and tha't
during the battle off Santiago he had
heard no conversation between the Com
modore and Lieutenant Hodgson.
Mr. Graham was then excused and Den
nis J. Cronin was called. He was or
derly to Commodore Schley during the
Santiago campaign and testified that he
was present when Captain Sigsbee came
aboard the Brooklyn, May 26. "I heard
the Commodore ask Captain Sigsbee some
thing that I could not understand,' said
the witness, "and I heard the Captain
answer, 'The Spanish fleet is not in
there.'
"Did you see Commodore Schley at any
time during the battle?"
"Yes, sir. I saw him when he was stand
ing down near the conning tower, and
again on the forward bridge."
"What was his manner?"
'His manner was such as inspired the
men under him with courage."
On cross-examination 'Mr, Cronin said
he was at the foot of a latider on the
gun deck, while Commodore Schjey and
Captain SJgsbee had their conversation
concerning the Spanish fleet, and that
they were op the upper deck about six
feet away.
Captafn Lemly also asked the witness
concerning the' proximity of the Texas,
an$ tho witness replied that ho ba$ not
especially noticed the Texas, because he
had not believed it was near enough to
be dangerous.
"That will do," paid Captain Lemly. "I
have before objected to that line of tes
timony." '
Tho Vlacaya'S;' Turn.
Lieutenant-Commander William R, Rush
was then called. He had served op the
Brooklyn as watch and division officer.
He had charge of the after division of
guns on the starboard deck of that vessel.
The witness said he had a vivid impres
sion of the Spanish ship Vizcaya turning
toward the Brooklyn, and he was under
the impression that this had occurred be
fore the Brooklyn made its turn. He
had himself considered it necessary to
make a turn. In response to Captajn
Lemly's questlpns, he said- that during
the voyage from Ciepfucgos to Santiago
the sea was generally rough, but after
reading from th,o log of tho Brqoklyn at
Captain Lemly's request, he said the rec
ord did not indicate a rough sea. The
witness said he had never seen any writ
ten general orders for battle in case the
enemy should come out. "We were In j
I presumed we. were in battle formation,"
In reply to questions by the court, the
witness said he was inclined tp think
that the VJzeaya had meant to ram tae
Brooklyn, and also that he thought the
Spanish ships had not como out to exceod
three-fourths of a mile frQm the harbor.
Lieutenant-Commander Rush "was suc
ceeded on the stand by Lieutenant Ed
ward Simpson, who was also a watch
HiiHSVfe fe ;
officer on the Brooklyn. Lieutenant
Sampson told of the beginning of the
cruise from Key West, May 19, and said
that Commodore Schley -had given a gen
eral order before starting on the cam
paign that all lights should be concealed
at night. Lieutenant Simpson had oc
cupied a position in the forward turret
when the battle of July 3 began and he
fired the first gun. He was unable to
testify concerning the loop, because he
had to repair his guns. After the turn,
he said, he had again picked up the for
ward Spanish ship, which was still tho
Maria Teresa, He could hear smaller shot
which indicated close range, and during
the entire time he heard Commodore
Schley's voice frequently cheering the
men. Again, when he saw the Vlzcaya's
fire slacken, he heard the Commodore
give the order: 'Fire deliberately, boys."
He had af that time observed the Vizcaya
turn toward the Brooklyn, but she re
ceived a shot which turned her to the
shore.
, Arrival of the Oregon.
At this point the witness described the
coming up of the Oregon.
"It was after tho Maria Teresa had
dropped astern and we had only two ships
to contend with. I got tho cry that one
of the Spanish ships was on fire and
heading for the beach. I tried to see
her. I looked back and could see nothing
for the smoke. Then I heard the cry
very shortly afterwards: "Another one
is on fire heading for the beach." Be
tween shots I looked back again and
saw a bow wave coming from the smoke,
followed almost immediately by two 13
inch guns. It was the Oregon. She "was
then about off our starboard, I should
say 600 yards. I called to the men that
the Oregon was with us, got a cheer In
reply, and then the action continued, the
Oregon firing also. As the Vizcaya turned
and headed off, the Oregon fired one of
her big guns. I heard the Commodore
say: 'He has raked her and she is on
fire. Signal to the Oregon to cease firing.'
Through the peep holes of my hood I
saw Lieutenant McCauley climb on top
of my turret with the wigwag flag and
I could hear the flapping of the flag. As
soon as the Vizcaya turned in we ceased
firing on her and were allowed to come
out of the turrets for a breathing spell.
"The Colon was in the neighborhood of,
roughly speaking, six miles ahead of us.
She continued to gain, but later we held
her. The Oregon came along with us
and got pretty near up abeam. Then, as
our steam came up, our speed increased.
We still held her and finally commenced
gaining on her and the Oregon. Nine
thousand yards was the elevation of my
forward gun. I .was ordered occasionally
to try a shot at the Colon, simply for
range, using armor-piercing shells, be
cause I had very few common shells left
at that time.
"We would try a shot at her and it
would fall short. Then the Oregon would
try a shot, and there was wig-wagsing
going on between the vessels as to the
results of the fall of the two shots.
Finally, my range decreasing, and firing
not at will, but by order, I was told to
try again. I tried at the Colon at 6800
yards and I aw the splash of my pro
jectile on the other side of her. I jumped
out of the turret to ask permission to
fle another shot immediately at 6700
yards. Before they gave me permission
or I received a chance to do it, the Ore
gon fired one of her 13-Inch guns and that
also went over her. Then the Colon
turned in, ran to the beach wth her flag
down. We kept on steaming in toward
her. At the time her flag came down I
heard the Commodore's voice asking:
'What time is it?' and I heard the Chief
Quartermaster answer: 'One fifteen, sir.'
As we steamed in toward her I heard
one of the Quartermasters say: 'They are
jumping pverboard.' I saw 'splashes
alongside and thought that they "were.
But it probably was what we afterward
hear? to be breech-locks. Captain Cook
left the ship after some difficulty in get
ting out a boat, and went to the Colon
to receive her surrender."
In reply to a question, Lieutenant Simp
son said he had seen Commodore Schley
several times' during the engagement of
July 3, but he remembered him especially
as he stood when the Vizcaya went
ashore.
"He was,' 'said the witness, "leaning
against the turret in the most natural
position, holding his glasses in his arms."
"What was his deportment and bear
ing?" "It was that of a brave man; self
possessed, alert to his duties and encour
aging officers and men to do their duty."
On cross-examination Lieutenant Simp
son said that at Cienfuegos the blockade
line had been three or four miles out In
the daytime and further out at night
When Lieutenant Simpson was excused
Lieutenant - Edward T. Fitzgerald, who
was an assistant engineer on the Brook
lyn during the battle off Santiago, was
called to the stand. He said that he was
in the fire-room when the batttle- oc
curred and there were several orders.
One of these, given at the beginning of
th engagement, was, to "stand by for a
ram or collision quarters." The witness
was not questioned on other points nor
cross-examined. When he left the stand
the court adjourned for the day.
PRIEST AND ASSASSIN.
Czolgosz Asked for Spiritual Conso
lation. AUBURN, N. Y., Oct. 22. Leon F. Czol
gosz, fully realizing that his death is now
a question of a few days, has asked for
spiritual consolation, and this afternoon
received a visit from Rev. T. S. Szardlnskl,
a Polish priest of the Roman Catholic
church. Czolgosz's request for a priest
of hi? own nationality was made to the
warden this morning. "Father Szardlnskl,
who is pastor of St. Stanislaus Church,
Rochester, remained with Czolgosz about
an hour.
The Interview between priest and" pris
oner proved very unsatisfactory to both.
It took place in the condemned man's- ceil
and the conversation was carried on in
Polish. During the Interview Czolgosz
said that he had been baptized in the
Roman Catholic faith in the Polish Church
in Detroit. He had abandoned the church
early In life and had lost all faith In its
teachings. Father Ssardinski urged him
to renounce his belief In anarchism and re
turn to the faith of his early years. Czol
gosz declared his Inability to do so, and
he was informed that unless he could,
the consolation of the church would bo
denied him. The priest urged the con
demned man to consider the matter care
fully and told him that If at any time
he decided to re-embrace the faith he
would return from his home in Rochester
and stay with him until the end. Father
Szardlnskl, before taking his departure,
left with Czolgosz some Catholic literature
printed in Polish, and also some emblomq
of tho ohuroh. Czolgosz assured Father
Szardlnskl that In case he determined to
accept the offices of religion he would
send for him, but he did not hold out
much hope that he would renounce the
doctrines of anatchism.

few days to represent the United States
Government on the Chinese tariff, com
mission, which will fix the customs du
ties of that Government, out of which
the Boxer indemnity is to be paid, was
the guest of honor today at a public re
ception of the local Chamber of Com
merce. In his address Mr. Sharrets ex
pressed his appreciation of the great In
terest of the Pacific Coast in the arrange
ment of the Chinese tariff, and stated
that he would -protect Its interests to the
extent in his power. In view of the de
sire of the several Western powers to
exploit the markets of China, he antici
pated there would be considerable dip
lomatic bickering before the tariffs were
adjusted satisfactorily. It was pointed
out to Mr. Sharrets by members of the
Chamber of Commerce that the question
of the duty on flour was especially im
portant, and that the interests of the
Coast demanded a low tariff on thl3 ar
ticle. Previous to the meeting Mr. Shar
rets was entertained at luncheon by
George A. Newhall, president of the
Chamber of Commerce. Representatives
of all 'other commercial bodies in the city
were present.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 22.-Judge Hood, of
the United States Court, today decided
that the stockholders of the Lombard
Investment Company, which failed In 1S96,
with liabilities above $30,000,000, are not
liable to the creditors of the company.
The decision sets at rest a liability of
nearly $2,000,000 against many Eastern
banks, trust companies and individual
stockholders of the defunct concern. The
stockholders Interested number 600, scat
tered over the Atlantic States and Great
Britain. The suit on which today's de
cision was rendered was brought in 1395
by the Anglo-American Land, Mortgage
& Agency Company, of London, which
held claims aggregating about $1,000,000
agaln3t the company. The Lombard
company was organized in 1886. Its presi
dent at the time of Its failure was Milton
B. Whitney, of Westfleld, Mass. Since
then unsecured creditors with claims
amounting to upward of $20,000,000 have
received but one and two-fifths per cent
on their claims.
