Ullis Affected by the Itrcent Strike Are Again Opern ting. riTTF.BURG, Sept. CH. There was a general resumption at all the mills here and st McKeesport to-day except at the tinplate mills, which were working with the same forces as last week. The sttikers had pickets on active duty again at the Star and Monongahela tin-plate plants in this city, artd a strong force of police was also on hand to prevent rioting. The De Wees Woxl plant of the American Sheet. Steel Company at McKeesport, which was to be dismantled, partly resumed operations today, after thiee months' idleness. The National Tube Company Issued instructions to its sales agents to-day to accept all business at prices current before the strike. The company also r.nnouncej that aü of Its mills are now in full operation. The tin workers to-nisht decided to postpone 8ctlon on their plan to secede from the Amalgamated Association until the settlement of the strike is better understood. As long as they retain their charters they are ptrikera and entitled to strike benefits. This fact led them to call off, for the present, their proposed conference with Assistant Mannger Phillips and until something further develops they will continue as Amalgamated Association strikers.

ANARCHISTS ARE FREE MM IMtlSOM'.HS AT CHICAGO LIUi:uati:i) iiv Jtutii: ciii:tlaix. Prosecutor Announced There W'nn Xo Evidence Against Them Kmmu Goldninu to He Freed To-Day. CHICAGO, Sept. 23. The nine Anarchists who have been under arrest Mnce the assassination of President McKinley were to-day given their freedom. Judge Chetlain so ordering after the prosecution had admitted that there was no legal evidence against thorn. Emma Goldman v.as not a party to the proceedings. Her case is set for to-morrow before Magistrate Prindiville. where she and the nine men freed toelay are charged with conspiracy to murder President McKinley. The cases in the lower court with reference to the men is. of course, nullified by the action of Judge Chetlain to-day. Miss Goldman also will be set at liberty, as Justice Prindiville has agreed to take such action In her case as the upper court took in the cases of the men. Attorney Brown said he would try to have Miss Goldman freed to-day. When the hearing on the writ of habeas corpus began before Judge Chetlain, Dr. Taylor, the city prosecutor, arose and at once declared that he could no longer ask that the prisoners be held. "They were arrested at the request of the Buffalo authorities, but we have no legal evidence against them," h. said. Attorney Geetin;, for the relators, then decided that, in view of the gravity of the offense which had been charged against his clients that the prosecution be required to state what cause er what suspicions welshed with the police in making the arrests. Judge Chetlain said that in view of the fact that the prosecution representing both the city and the State, as well as Buffalo, by indirection, had agreed to the liberation of the prisoners and admitteel that there was no evidence against them, that there was no reason for further inquiry into the matter. The court then ordered that the prisoners be liberated. The prisoners had been silent, their faces expressionless. during the proceedings. When the court ordered the jail doors opened to them there was not a trace of jubilation on their faces. They were led back to the jail, where they collected their belongings, chiefly magazines and newspapers, and then came down stairs, where they met friends and members of their families. For the tirst time they showed evidences of pleasure. The party then departed in various directions, refusing police protection to their homes. Ilmma Goldman received the news of the lileration of her friends with a laugh. "I guess they'll have to let me go now." fhe said. "It has been shown that the men named as conspirators with me did not conspire, and I fancy they would have trouble trying to show that I conspired all by myself." W ALDFCIv CZOLGOCZ. He In .Subjected to Another HxamI nnt Ion !' Chief Corner. CLEVELAND, Sept. 23.-Chief of Foliee Corner to-day gave Waldeck Czolgocz, brother of the assassin of President McKinley, a thorough examination. Under the chief's questioning much was learneel that may be of value In the development of the supposed Anarchist plot that resulted in the assassination. Waldeck Czolgocz adhered to the statement he malo yesterday to the effect that he had not seen his brother since he went away from the farm, before the middle of July, although this is contradicted bv the statement of a neighboring farmer, "John D. Knox, that he saw the assassin on the road near the farm nSt more than five weeks ago. Waldeck stated to the police that tie was going to Buffalo to-morrow to see his brother, and said he would report to the police of Buffalo so that the latter could keep In touch with him all the time, lie was willing to do this because he shares the anxiety felt by his father that there is danger of violence in case the people of Buffalo learn that the father and brother of the assassin are in the city. 3Iot Held In Heavy Ilnnd. NEW YORK. Sept. 23.-John Mo?t. who was arrested last night at a meeting of alleged Anarchists In Corona, L.

FIRE IN INSANE ASYLUM

THIlF.i: IXMATHS OF NOItS-OLK, M3I1., HOSPITAL CREMATED. Difficulty i:perleneeel In Rescuing the IitMune Inmntes Loss Will Reach ffZSlMMK. NORFOLK, Neh., Sept. 23. The asylum for the Insane in this city was completely destroyed by fire to-day. It is believed that three of the inmates were burned to death. The fire originated from some unknown cause in the west wing of the institution. The loss on buildings and contents will reach $1'Vhhi. There were six hundred inmates In the main structure and the efforts to iuscue them were difficult in the extreme. Shrieks and yells filled the air, and many fought against the attempts of the rescuers. Three of the inmates are missing and it is believed they perished. The patients were cared for until a special train conveyed them to Lincoln and Hastingss asylums. The cause cf the lire is unknown. The body of Victor Casper was found this afternoon in the ruins. The dead, injured and missing, so far as known, are as follows: VICTOR CASPER, patient, burned to death. I Eri PERSON, patient, severely burned. KEYSTER. patient, severe Iv burned. PETER OBERG, patient missmJOHN M GOVERN, pitient. mining. Tho attendants lost all their clothing. Nearly all the patients were taker, from the burning structure in their night clothes and suffered more or less from the chilly air. About L") were taken to Lincoln and placed in the asylum there. The remainder of the patients will be housed in the buildings that are still in condition for use. The loss is now conservatively placed at $2r.yi. Four Firemen Injured. CHICAGO. Sept. 2C. Four firemen were badly injured while fighting a fire here today In the warehouse of the Johnson Chair Company at 253 North Green street. The Injured are: Captain Foley, engine company No. 7; Jerry Roach, truck company. No. 12. leg broken: I-ouis Muher and A. L. Smaller. All will recover. The injured men were in a shed at the rear of the warehouse when the roof fell on them. The loss by lire was JT3,uJ. Large Elevator Ilentroyeil. PORT HURON. Mich., Sept. 23.-Fire today destroyed the Grand Trunk elevator and the dock, located across the St. Clair river at Point Edward. Ont. A strong wind fanned the blaze, and for a time the firemen had a hard fight to confine the flames to the elevator and dock. The loss is estimated at $75.oi). SANTIAGO BATTLE. (CONCLUDED FROM FI RSTPAG E.) the tirst to the westward he put the helm hard to starboard and I made several reports to him as to the Brooklyn regarding her signals. He said 'never mind.' I also referred to the way I thought the Brooklyn was standing up to fight, very nicely. The captain said. Oh. crackie! Never mind the Brooklyn. You look out lor this ship.' The Brooklyn then was alniut on our port beam. So I said. 'All right, captain. I will look at the Brooklyn no more.' and I turned my back, looking on the starboard beam at the ships getting out. After we sheered around and got to the westward 1 suggested to give her a little port helm to get closer in, and he did. "Right after he gave her this helm he sang out through the sight hole, to the men at the wheel and at the engine room indicator, to slow, then stoi. and I said. 'Captain, they will all get away from us.' He did not answer me, but immediately stepped back, and then I said. 'My Lord, captain, we are out of the fight.' He said, 'Book at the Brooklyn.' I turned around, and right ahead of us tho big gray ship loomed out of the smoke. For a second I thought my heart was in my mouth. We were steaming with a heavy helm and she steered by us. When I saw her she was practically ahead of us. That is the first I saw. She sheered aft and went to sea. I should say about 2,eu yards, and then on to westward. As soon as the Brooklyn cleared us we rang to go ahead and started up forced draft again. After that we simply followed on as fast as we could, on a line that was ju-t inside the line where the Oregon was eng-aglng the ships. Just before this turn of Ihe Brooklyn the Iowa and the Oregon were both close to us on our starboard helm. We continued the chase until the Colon hauled down her flag, when the captain gave the order to stop forced draft." Captain I.emly How near was the Brooklyn to the Texas at the time you saw her loom up out of the smoke? "I did not make any estimate at the time, but I came to the conclusion later that she was between 1" and l.") yards from us, which was a much longer distance than Captain Philip thought it was." RELATIVE POSITIONS. Captain Lemly rerhaps I should have asked you In the first place the position of the Brooklyn relative to the Texas just before going into battle. "She was almost astern of us. That Is because we were headed almost east. She should have borne west by northwest. She was heading for the land, and I thought she was standing pretty nearly on her north course. I did not tee at first any indications of turning, and 1 thought she was going right in." Captain Lemly Did the Brooklyn give any steam whistle signal to indicate her change ot course? "That I do not know." "Did you hear any?' "I did not hear any." "Do you think you would have heard It if there had been a steam signal?" "No, sir; we could not have heard It." "At what time during the battle of Santiago do you consider that the Texas was in the greatest danger?' asked Captain Lemly. Mr. Rayner objected, contending such opinions were shut out by a previous ruling of the court. Mr. Hanna said there were many minor points on which the court must, from time to time, ask the opinion of witnesses. The point was also argued on the one side by Captain Lemly and on the other by Judge Wilson. The court overruled the objection and the ciuestion was repeated. "Looking back," responded the witness, "I know that the time of the greatest danger to the Texas was when the Brooklyn loomed up out of the smoke right ahead of us." He said, in response to questions, that he had never sailed with a man who had quicker fight, or who handled his ship to better advantage than Captain Philip. He added that the captain had on this occasion given successive orders, and that the Texas backed 'until it was dead in the water.' He said that on account of this incident two or three minutes had been lost, and that fully three miles were lost to the ship. A part of this delay had. however, he said, been caused on account of the fault of the ship's blowers, rendering the vessels slow in getting up steam. After a brief reversion to the distance at which the blockade had been enforced, witness said that on the day the enemy's ships were discovered the lleet had. been close in. He had, he said, on that day seen three cruisers inside of the harbor. Asked if the opportunity was good at that time for observing the enemy's vessels, the witness replied that after the moon set, as it did early in the evening at that time, the darkness was such that the enemy's ships could not have been distinguished at any great distance. SIGNAI-S OF THE DAY. Commander lb liner was que-stloned at considerable length concerning signals. He had, hi said in n sponse to Mr. Raynor's question, seen the Brooklyn make signals to the Texas on the day of the battle. Mr. Raynor What were they? "1 do not know what they were. At first I reported a one-hag hoist, which I supposed was. 'Clear ship for action.' That was lmmmediately after going on deck." "How many of those signals do you recollect beini; made to the Texas?" "I saw that one. And then, shortly after, I saw a tecond signal, which was a threfiag heist, and that Is the time I repoited to Captain Philip. He said, as I stated before, that I was not to look after the Brooklyn, but the Texas." "How many signals did the New York make to the Texas on tho day of the battle?" asked Mr. Raynor. "I do rot know," was the response. "Did she make any signals to the Texas?" "I saw rlgnals from the New York, I think, but not at 9 o'clock or 9:30." "How late?" "That I don't know. Tw-dve o'clock, or

around there. It may have been half-past j 12. 1 saw the hignals in the case for the , Colon." i

Objection was made to this line of questioning, and the quc-stlon was withdrawn temporarily. The court then took a rtcess untA 2 o'clock. When the court convened at 2 o'clock Mr. Raynor continued the cross-examination of Commander Heilner. He asked him e?pe daily concerning the official chart of the battlo off Santiago, exhibiting the chart. The witness said he had be-n one of the loard of navltrators who had prepared the f chart. He had testified that the Brooklyn was only l.V yards distant when she crossed the course of the Texas, but he stated that, according to the chart, the distance was about l.S"rt feet when the Brooklyn was making her famous loop. "But," he said, "we are going through a lot of matter here which is worthless." "Oh. it is worthless. Is it?" questioned Mr. Raynor. "According to the map. the two vessels were never nearer than within 2.4'0 feet of each other." The witness replied that he considered the map inaccurate. INACCURACY CONCEDED. Mr. Hanna Interposed to say that if the point intended to be made was that the chart is inaccurate the government would concede at once that this was true. "It is a great pity that you never conceded that before," said Mr. Raynor. "We have never had the opportunity," responded Captain Lemly. Mr. Raynor then commented quite vigorously upon the fact that the chart was an official document. After a careful inspection of the map. Commander Heilner revised his statement, saying that the distance was about half a mile, as shown by the chart. Commander Hellner also said that the chart made the Brooklyn go half a mile out to sea in making Its loop; that on that point the chart also was not accurate. At the time, he said, the Texas was going at the rate of about twelve knots an hour. The witness stated that he had not. In his txamlnatlon-ln-chief. meant to say that the ship had lost three miles In as many minutes, but in all that much time hail bee n löst. "I saw a bright smile on your face when I said it." added the witness to Mr. Raynor. "and thought you misunderstood." Thereupon all laughed, the members of the court included. The witness was asked by Mr. Raynor concerning the stoppage of the Texas when the Brooklyn appeared in front of her. "The signals," the witness answered, "were to 'slow.' 'stop and to 'back,' one right on top of the other, before 1 could say a word in between." "Does anything appear in your log about that?" asked Mr. Ravnor. "Nothing," answered the witness. "It was not on the log. I can tell you why it was not, because Captain Philip said he did not like to have anything in lt. I swore to the judge advocate of this court that I would not bring up si dead man to substantiate anything I said, and that I would not bring up this point, and I am sorry 1 brought It up, but Captain Philip said he would not put it In his official report. I hope I can get some one to substantiate me on that point, because there was another gentleman in the cabin when he made his ofiicial report." "Do yoy recollect, as you brought up this statement of Captain Philip, the statement he made about the danger of collision?" "No; he spoke to me hundreds of times about it." Mr. Raynor Here are his own words. Mr. Hanna Mr. President, we object to reading from magazines. Mr. Raynor I don't think the Century Magazine would credit any article to Captain Philip that was not written by him. I am not going to read from It. I do not intend to read from it, except for my own information. Here is what. Captain Philip says do you recollect Captain Philip ever saying that "the collision which seemed to be Imminent, even If It was not, was averted?" "No, I do not recollect," replied the witness. AS TO THE NEW YORK. "Did you see any signals from the New York on the day of the battle?" asked Mr. Rayner. "We did not receive any signals from that vessel on that day until the afternoon," replied the witness. The witness also said that the New York had not come up until after the last of the Spanish ships came out of the harbor.. Captain lmly here interposed to ask the purpose of the inquiries, an 1 Mr. Hayner stated that it was to be able to make comparisons between Schley's blockade and Sampson's, because if it could be shown that Schley's blockade was equal to Sampson's he could not be considered censurable. He also said that it would he shown that the Colon was visible when Admiral Sampson came up. Captain Lemly objected not only to the line of eiuestions, but to the line of argument. Replying. Mr. Reyner said that, notwithstanding the strenuous efforts of Captain Lemly to keep Admiral Sampson out of the controversy, he would Inevitably be brought into it. not for the purpose of criticism, but for the purpose of showing that Admiral Schley had merely beyed the orders of his superior officer, who was Admiral Sampson, in doing what he had done. Continuing. Mr. Rayner said that Admiral Schley wanted to prove three things. These were: "First It is maintained that the blockade, as maintained by Commodore Schley, was the tame, so far as distances were concerned, as that maintained by Admiral Sampson. "Second The failure to engage the Colon further on May ?l was In line; with Sampson's policy as developed after his arrival on June J, when the Colon was still in sight. "Third-That the Brooklyn still had her place in the blockade assigned by Sampson when the Spanish lleet came out on July 3." Having made this presentation, Mr. Rayner, at the suggestion of Judge Wilson, withdrew the question. Judge Wilson said the subject would be brought up when there was a witness on the stand who could testify as to the facts. "We propose," he said, "to show that Admiral Sampson was never In the fight off Santiago at all. and that on that account Admiral Schley had the tesponsibillty of command thrust upon him." Mr. Hanna responded, saying there would be no objection to any proper reference to Admiral Sampson's connection with the battle, but that so far all efforts were clearly outside that description. PHILIP S BATTLE REPORT. Commander Harber was recalled and Captain Philip's reports of the Santiago campaign were offered as evidence. Counsel for Admiral Schley consented to their Introduction with the understanding that their acceptance should not be considered as a precedent for the acceptance of other official reports as evidence. Mr. Rayner read from the report of Captain Philip to show that the Texas had been only four miles out when Commander Harber h8d said It was seven or eight miles. Comamnder Harber said, however, he did not care to modify his testimony. Commander Alex. B. Bates, who was chief engineer on the Texas during the Santiago campaign on July 3. was called. He testified concerning the engines on that day. He said they were operated on signals and that the starboard engine was reversed. The port engine had also, he thought, been reversed. He thought at the time probably that a torpedo boat had got into the track of the Texas. At the Instance of Captain Parker the witness examined the steam log book of the Texas and failed to find there uny mention of the reversal of the engine, while he admitted other matters which Captain Parker characterized as comparatively unimportant were noted thereon. While Commander Bates was examining the steam log of the Texas Eieut. Henry H. Ward, of the Bureau of Navigation, approached him and learned over his shoulder. Captain Parker demanded, in somewhat exCited tune, that he be directed to go away, saying that he had no business there and his presence was not wanted. Admiral Dewey replied that Lieutenant Ward was there under the direction of the Navy Department. Lieutenant Ward did not change his position. The court adjourned at 4 o'clock.
