Exchanges commenting upon the business outlook begin: "The hopeful tone in business conditions throughout the country is maintained generally." It is an old but a pleasing story. It cannot be otherwise than that the sturdy support which Senator Ilanna has given to Senator Forakcr in the Ohio campaign will go a long way to obliterate the party factions in that State. Whatever may bo the result in New York city to-day It is a gratifying fact that the press of the city, with a tingle exception, lias taken the side of public morality by vigorously opposing Tammany. The last Democratic secretary of the treasury was compelled to sell bond3 to meet the current expenses of the government. Secretary Gage is purchasing bonds to keep down the treasury surplus. The appointment of John K. Bonnell to the office of collector of internal revenue for the Western district 13 one every way fit to be made. lie is a man of high character, and possesses the ability which will make him a capable officer two essentials. It i3 an uninviting task for the Democratic editor, in the face of the late Governor Hendricks's declaration that in political trials the jury should bo equally divided letween the two leading parties, to assail Governor Durbin because he takes the same ground, but some of them feel in duty bound to undertake it. The development of the rural free delivery system has reached a point that makes Us general establishment throughout the country a uuetion of only a few years. The superintendent predicts that within five years it will be' in operation over an area of l.OOO.Ouo square miles, which will Include practically all the inhabited territory of the United States. This means the Introduction of a new and potent factor in American social life. Minnesota has a new law which punishes a man as a felon who deserts his family or who through idleness and bad habits leaves wife and children without support. The first conviction under the law was made in Minneapolis last week, but the Judge leniently gave the culprit ninety days in the workhouse instead of a penitentiary sentence, as the law provides. This law may not receive the approval of scientific sociologists; but punishment as punishment is deserved by men who abandon families or Tefuse to work for their support. If area should count in the question of admitting a territory to statehood, Arizona would have a strong case, containing as it does 113,000 square miles, which means that It Is as large as New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland combined. The committee urging the admission of Arizona declares that its wealth and population are greater than the wealth and population of all the States of the Union at the date of their admission. Nevertheless, it seems that a population of 123.0., scattered over so extensive an area as that of Arizona, needs other things more than admission to the Union, as a State. It Is announced that the counsel of the man In the State Prison who will be hanged if there is not official Interposition will again appeal to the Supreme Court for a reversal of its decision, and, failing in that, will ask the Governor to exercise his constitutional authority to rrevent the execution. The Journal believes these efforts to gave a man from the gallows aro detrimental to the public welfare. The accused was found guilty of a premeditated murder, the details of the crime being of the most atrocious character, after an extended and impartial trial. The Supreme Court having sustained the action of the trial court why should not the man be executed? It is of the utmost importance to the city of Indianapolis that electric roads shall radiate from it to all parts of the State. No single agency can contribute so much to the growth of tho business of the city. Euch being the case, no policy should be adopted which will discourage the construction of thse lines: on the contrary, the city government should exercise Its authority under the charter to the utmost to encourage the bvfildh-.g of such lines. While It is but natural that the Indianapolis Street-railway Company shoul I aim to secure favorable contracts with the interurban lines for the use of its tracks, the wise and progressive policy which seems to characterize the management of that company should lead it to deal liberally

with the Interurban road?, which will be feeders rather than competitors. For the City Council to imposo a tax that would tend to hamper the construction of Interurban roads would be Indefensible unhs3 it shall be assumed that Indianapolis is as large a city as Its inhabitants desire and has all the trade its merchants wish, and consequently put impediments in the way of the people in the country around it coming into the city. What is a few cents tax on a car compared with the Importance of bringing hundreds or perhaps thousands of people into the city dally from the surrounding cities and country? Indianapolis 13 a large and growing city, and its policy should be liberal and bread.

STRAIGHT TALK FROM A SOUTHERN 31 AX. The Atlanta Constitution publishes a communication from W. A. Candler, which makes some points that the Southern people would do well to think about in connection with the subject of "social equality" that is Just now worrying them a good deal. The Journal does not know anything about Mr. Candler beyond the internal evidence his letter affords that he is a Southern man of progressive views and possessed of more "horse sense" than nonsense. He may possibly be a relative of Governor Candler, of Georgia, though he Is evidently not a Republican. lie makes the recent Docker Washington Incident the text of some remarks regarding the race question which do not seem to have occurred to those who think it is only skin deep. He admits that personally he thinks that in inviting Mr. Hooker Washington to dine with him President Roosevelt "blundered badly," but he ridicules the ilea that any number of such acts by any number of persons could bring about social equality. Rut he remarks there is real danger, if Southern whites do not rouse themselves, that the negroes will achieve another kind of equality, or rather of superiority over the whites, namely, educational. He says the negroe3 have better educational advantages in the South than the whites have and that the latter are relatively losing ground rather than gaining. To quote his words: The colleges for negroes are far better equipped than the colleges for whites, and their superiority in this particular rapidly Increases every day. Rooke r Washington can get more money for his school by an hour's speech in Boston or New York than any president of a white college in the South can get by a year's campaign among our own people. Now let this sort of thing go on for another twenty-live years, and the most undesirable conditions will inevitably arise in the South, bringing to pass results injurious to both races. While I begrudge the negro nothing, I cannot believe it would be best for him or best for anybody else, that he should continue to have better educational advantages than the whites. Rut this will be the case if our own petple do not ebal more liberally with the colleges of the whites. The North will do in the future, aw in the past, most of what it does for higher education in the South on behalf of the negroes. Southern white people must depend upon themselves to maintain and equip the colleges of the whites in this section. And we are abundantly able to do it. Our "horse shows" and the like prove the plethora of our purses. Coming to facts, he mentions two colleges in Georgia for the education of whites which are now appealing for support. Mr. John D. Rockefeller has offered to give $15,0)0 to Mercer University if the friends of the institution will raise $13,0)0 more, and a Southern man has offered $13,O0 to Emory College or. the same conditions. The writer says these two institutions ought to be as dear to the hearts of all Georgians as Rooker Washington's school Is to Rostonians and New Yorkers, and that they should imitate the example of Northern people by putting their hands in their pockets and contributing to the support of their own institutions. He concludes: I propose that any Georgian who is too stingy to give to either of them quit abusing the President about dining Booker Washington. Men who really care to maintain proper relations between the races in the South will do something more substantial to promote that object than to blow hot blasts of indignation about social quality. That sort of windlness Is cheap; it is also very unprofitable. Let us help our colleges for whites or hush. A Northern man would hardly venture to put the matter In as personal a way as thl3. The argument is clefar that educational progress involves to a certain extent social advancement and elevation, and that if the Southern whites wish to maintain their traditional superiority they must adopt a metre liberal and progressive policy in support of education. The whites cannot keep the negroes down by "hot blasts of indignation," if they allow them to maintain permanent superiority in educational advantages. Mr. Candler's letter goes to the heart of the subject. Iltl'FIClLTinS Or HKCU'HOCITY. Andrew Carnegie's opinion regarding the practicability of reciprocity, while entitled to consideration, is not conciushe. In practice it Is difficult to arrange the details not only with other nations, but with American interests. It should not be forgotten, however, that some very advantageous arrangements were made by the Harrison administration under the McKinley law, which would have greatly benefited our people had not a Democratic Congress curtly put an end to them. The McKinley law, however, gave the Harrison administration a decided advantage over the Dlngley law in that the arrangements which it made were not in the form of treaties requiring the ratification of the Senate. What Mr. Carnegie says of making enemies of the nations with which no treaties are negotiated while negotiating them with others is true, but is of lers consequence than he seems to attribute to such hostile feelings. If we were anxious to make Europe and all the rest of the world regard us with kindly feeling we might adopt the tariff policy of Great Rritain. Thit policy, however, has not made all the nations its friends, as It must be admitted that Great Rritain is very generally disliked by European nations. One rule that should obtain In such treaties is that a reciprocal treaty Is Illogical when made so as to give a foreign competitor advantage in our markets when we are able to supply the home demand. Care should be taken in what Is done In a reciprocal way not to interfere with the prosperity of a well-established Industry capable of supplying the home market abundantly. The prosperous condition of the country to-day is due chiefly to the fact that all Jescriplions of labor are fully employed at the highest wairu ever known It is this condition .:ni: the prosperity of the farmer that girthe American people money with which t purchase the products of our own factumand farms. Cripple any of these leading Industries so that factories shall be close,: or wages reduced and a blow will be struck at the prosperity which exists In this land and not elsewhere In the world. The heme market is the market for nine-tenths of our products, and It must not be sacrificed In

the hope of selling more goods in the world's markets. True reciprocity does not involve such a sacrifice. It i5 not reciprocity to admit French and German woolen and worsted hosiery or foreign glass when our own labor and capital can supply the home demand.

The current number of the Revue de Paris, a leading French periodical, contains an article by M. De Segur, a well-known publicist, in which the writer gives the substance of an interview had last summer with Emperor William of Germany. He says the Emperor talked a good deal about the United States, and showed not only distrust of but hostility to our commercial progress. He was particularly' severe on trusts, as powerful agencies in this progress. "Suppose." he said, in substance, "that a Morgan succeeds in combining under his ffag several of the oceanic lines. He does not occupy any official position in his country odtside of the- Influence derived from his wealth. It would, therefore, be impossible to treat with him if it should happen that an international incident or a foreign power were involved in his enterprise, and neither would it ho possible to have recourse to the state, which, having no part in the business, could decline any responsibility. Then to whom could one turn to obviate this danger?" This, of course, is from the German and Imperial point of view. Rut, looking at the matter from an American and republican point of view, if an individual of uncommon ability and enterprise, or a few such individuals combined, succeed in extending trade and capturing foreign markets to a degree that amazes foreign competitors, why should the German, or any other government think of treating it as an "international incident?" The captains of trade should be left to fijjht it out among themselves. Some of the Western States are particularly strong on statistics relating to their industries and educational development. Nebraska is one of these. Its Labor Rurcau, under the special direction of C. E. Watson, deputy commissioner of labor, has prepared an official statistical map which is a model in its way. In the center of the sheet is a map of Nebraska, and ranged about are figures under the proper heads, showing, among other things, the agricultural products for the year, the fruit acreage, the price of farm lands, farm wages, number of acres of vacant public lands, the state educational lands, the irrigation grants, population, area, libraries, public and private schools, number of professional ! men in the State, state labor organizaj tions, list of artesian wells, etc. In short, the map shows at a glance all that a posj sible settler could wish to know concern ing Nebraska and many facts that he might have difficulty in finding elsewhere. Other statisticians might well take pattern by this convenient work of reference. ' THE HUMORISTS. He Make the Joke. The King. "Have yuu been lonf In London, baron?" "Long in London?

Judge Keyser today overruled a motion for a dismissal of the perjury charge against James Callahan, and the defense began the Introduction of evidence. The first evidence offered was the instructions by Judgo Raker to the jury In the first trial and the verdict returned by that bouy. The State objected to the Introduction of this testimony, and arguments followed. Judge Keyser. sustained the objection, and the defense called Callahan to the stand. The prisoner was nervous and became restless us the questioning proceeded. He denied that he was in thu vicinity of the place where the kidnaping occurred during the day of Dec. 11. and declare el ho spent most of the day at the home of his sister and in a nar-by sahton. All the evidence given by the deft ndant while on trial fur highway robbery and kidnaping was gone over. On cross-examination Callahan was unable to state in detail where he had been in the afternoon ami evening of the day on which the kidnaping occurred.

FIX AI AHGL31I"T IX THIS SCHLEY IXQLIItY CASH IS IJCGLX. E. I. Hnmin, Assistant to the Jmlge Advocate, Opens in Ilehalf of the tioveriiiiieiit. REVIEWS THE CASE AT LENGTH AXD POINTS OUT ALLEGED SHORTCOMINGS OF THE AD 31 1 HAL, Talks for Two Honrs nml Covers Only Half of the Ground Involved in the Controversy. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. The Schley court of inquiry reached the argument stage at the beginning - of the afternoon session to-day. The morning sitting was devoted to listening to Admiral Schley and Captain Sigsbee in making corrections of their testimony which had been given previously and the Introduction by Judge Ad-, vocate Lemly of numerous documents bearing upon different phases of the inquiry. Admiral Schley did not make any material additions to his previous statements, but devoted himself largely to the clearing un of ambiguous points in his evidence. An effort was made to introduca two new witnesses, who were expected to give testimony in Admiral Schley's behalf concerning the controversy as to what information Captain Sigsbee communicated to Admiral Schley when he arrived off Santiago in May, 1S0S. One of these witnesses was Frank D. Richards and the other George Lynch, both of New York and both newsjaper correspondents, who were on duty in Cuba and in Cuban waters during the war with Spain. Mr. Lynch was on the press boat Somers N. Smith, and Mr. Richards on the Premier. They were to have testified concerning the meeting of these vessels with the St. Paul, of which Captain Sigsbee was in command. The court, however, decided not to hear them The opening speech of the argument was rrade in behalf of the government by U. P. Ilanna, assistant to the judge advocate. He bigan his presentation of the case a few minutes after the court convened at 2 o'clock, and when the court adjourned, two hours later, he had not covered more than hilf of the ground involved In the controversy. While Captain Sigsbee was on the stand to-day Mr. Rayner asked him If he had megaphoned or otherwise communicated to the pressboat Premier, while off Santiago, the fact that the Spanish lleet was not in Santiago. The witness replied that he had not done so, although he would have been justified in saying so, if he had thought it proper under the circumstances of war. TESTIMONY RARRED. When Captain Sigsbee was excused Capt. Lemly announced that he had no more witnesses to call. Frank R. Richards was then sworn. Mr. Richards said that he was on the dispatch boat Premier during the Santiago campaign and that the boat was hailed by Captain Sigsbee on the night of May 27 or 2S. At this point Captain Lemly objected to this line of evidence, on the ground that Commodore Schley was not present eluring the conversation; also, that it was not mateiial to the issue. After argument the court ruleel that "as the testimony of this witness is not considered by the court as material to the case, the objection is sustained, in accordance with the court's previous ruling." Mr. Richards, therefore, could not testify, and Admiral Schley took the stand for the purpose of correcting his testimony. He was suffering from a cold and his voice was quite hoarse. He began his corrections at the very first vt his testimony. Most of these corrections were of typographical errors, or the change of words to make sentences reael more smoothly. Referring to the order from Admiral Sampson, dated Key West. May 10. instructing the commander of the Hying squadron to establish a blockade of Cienfuegos with the least possible delay, the witness read a sentence frem it as follows: "After I have the situation more in hand I will write you to give you any more information as suggests itself." The word "more" should be omitted, said Admiral Schley, "and the sentence read as follow: 'After I have the situation more in hand I will wilte you and give you any information that suggests itself.' " In referring to his testimony regarding the arrival of the Harvard on May 21, with a dispatch from the secretary of the navy, informing him that "all of the department's information indicated the presence of the Spanish squadron at Santiago," which dispatch, he had declared, had never reached him and, therefore, he had never seen it or heard of it until recently. Admiral Schley corrected this portion of his testimony by stating that neither his flag lieutenant nor his secretary had ever seen the dispatch nor remembered it. He had previously included his first lieutenant in this statement. Referring to his . testimony regarding the reconnoissance of May 31, the admiral changed lis statement that "fifty, if not more shells, passed over the fleet," to read that "a number of shells passeel over the He et." He also changed his evidence concerning suspicious movements in the harbor of Santiago July 2 to read that "before dark I noticed in the harbor a good leal of smoke coming up." The official record, he said, made him say that he saw the smoke after drak. ATTEMPT TO RAM. Coming to his answer to a question in reference to his order sent below during the early part of the battle to "stand by to ram," Admiral Schley emphasized his former testimony, by stating that "there was a distinct attempt to ram on the part of th,e Maria Teresa, Admiral Cervera's ilagship, and the VIscaya." He also reiterated his confidence in the Brooklyn's speed by stating that "with one engine and all the boiler power," she could have got tip all the speed that was neeeled. As to the passing of the flying squadron by the Eagle on the morning of May 19, and the latter's conveying the information that there was "no news," Admiral Schley correcteel ills testimony wherein he said that he was not mistaken as to this, by stating that he might have been mistaken. Admiral Schley also corrected his statement regarding his visit to the flagship N'ew York, when he had made his preliminary report of the battle of July 3 to Admiral Sampson.' The record, he said, did not make the matter quite clear. "The admiral said to me," continued the witness, "that I had omitted a very important detail, which was to state that the New York was present." The witness corrected but one of his answeriJ to the questions of the court. This answer was to the effect that as he was ordered to go to Cienfuegos to establish a blockade, was it not his duty, under the circumstances to communicate direct, either by Fignal or otherwise with the senior officer of the vessels returning from Cienfuegos and obtain from him all information segareir.g the situation at or near that port. Th answer, as correcteel, reads: "The communication which he made to me through the Eagle Indicated that Captain McCalla knew I was bound for Cienfuegos, and I. of course, took it for granted if he had had anything important he would have notified me of the fact without any inquiry." At this point Admiral Schley announced that he h:d no more corrections to make. Captain Parker called the admiral's attention to the evidence of Captain Sigsbee in whl'h he had said that when he went on board the Rrooklyn the whole question, so far as he coukl remember, was coal, and nothing but coal, and that Commodore Schley already had made up his mind to go to Key West. WHAT WAS SAID TO SIGSREE. "That was not the first question Sigsbee asked me at all," replied Admiral Schley. "I did not say to Captain S'gsbee that we were going to Key West, as the signal will show. Sigsbee was talking on the subject of coal, and since he mentions it I recall the

fact that his statement was that he v-ns commandicg a vessel that was one-tenth of a mile h'ng. and that she could not turn her engines over under 1JJ tons of coal a day, also that he could not remain there very long; that 1. would have to go to Key West." "Had you, as a matter of f act, made up your mind at that time to go to Key West?" "I had not." Admiral Schley then referred to his conversation with Admiral Sampscn regarding his instructions about not bombarding fortifications as follows: "I ought to mention in connection with the talk I had with the admiral in relation to his Instructions about not bombarding fortifications th;:t I recall the fact that he and I were talking about the guns that were probably there, and I asked him whether he knew if they were Hontoria or Krupp guns. He said, 'probably both,' anil that recalls the circumstance to me. And, again. In relation to the testimony of Lieut. Roys" The Judge Advocate I don't think the purpose of calling the witness to revise his testimony Is to enable him to contradict witnesses who have been on the stand. This led to an argument, which Admiral Dewey ended with the remark: "The court has no objection to the admiral's reference to Lieutenant Roys." Admiral Schley I merely wanted to say, in connection with Lieutenant Roys's testimony that I heard nothing of the protest which he speaks of of the desire of Lieut. Southerland to coal. I am quite sure he is mistaken about that, because it would have been impossible that day for that ship to coal." The Judge Advocate In your detailed statement to the Senate you stated, in effect, that the Eagle, when detached and sent to Port Antonio, reported a day's coal more or less. "Yes." "Now you stated In your testimony that you were informed by the commanding officer of the Eagle, through signal or otherwise, that the Eagle was then dangerously short of Coal and that he had cn board one day's supply, more or less." "Yes, that was the message." THE EAGLE'S COAL. "You stated In your testimony. In effect, that you did not remember the signals recorded in the Eagle's signal book and In the Brooklyn's. In your dispatch, however, which you sent on the morning of May 27, you stated that the Eagle, when sent to Port Antonio, had twenty-seven tons. Did you not?" "I did. That was the next day." Captain Lemly, at this point, invited the court's attention to a signal In the original signal book of the Iowa. "Don't go in any closer," about which there has been discussion. Admiral Schley was then finally excused and Captain Lemly offered a large number cf documents as evidence. Refore taking the usual recess for luncheon, Mr. Rayner offered In evidence the commission of Admiral Schley, and when asked if he had any objection to its going in Captain Lemly replied: "None at all." but called attention to the fact that it was a commission dateel Aug. 10, 1!9S. issued during a recess of Congress and that the words, "Nominated by and with the aulce and consent of the Senate," were stricken out. "It will appear, of course," said Captain Lemly, "exactly as it appears here. Captain Parker This commission was issued under th. law that authorised it "for gallant conduct in battle." In reply to a question by Admiral Dewey, Captain Lemly said: "It is signed by tne President. It was a recess appointment, but the corrt will remember tint nne of those ad interim appointments was confirmed by the Senate." Admiral Dewey It is valueless if it has not been confirmed by the Senate, it can go in, but it has no value, of coi.rs? At this point the court took a recess until 2 o'clock. When the court convened after recess Admiral Dewey handed to Captain Lemley ami the latter read the following announcement: "The court states that, while it has admitted to its recorel a document presented by counsel for the applicant, which was issued to the applicant by the President of the United States on Aug. V), is:8, the court does not recognize such document as the commission under which the applicant holds his present office in the navy." - MH. IIAXXA'S AIlGl.TlEXT.

Government's Presentation of the Case and Summary of Evidence. Immediately after the reading of this statement the argument in the case was begun, Mr. E. P. Hanna, as assistant to Judge Advocate Lemly, opening forv the government. Mr. Hanna began his presentation of the case by saying that in what he should say in his proposed summary he would like to accomplish two objects. The first of these would be to make his address brief and terse, and the second to present a careful and exhaustive citation of the evidence adduced, lie then proceeded to review the eviclence. Coming down to the blockade off Cienfuegos, Mr. Hanna read the order of Admiral Sampson to Commodore Schley, dated May 19, lSi'S, directing the latter to take steps to prevent the enemy from continuing work on the new fortifications at Clciiruegos. "It does not appear," continued Mr. Hanna. "that any steps were taken to prevent work on these new fortifications, in fact, this order was not, so far as the testimony shows, in any way regarded. No gun wai fired at Cienfuegos by the Hying squadron for any purpose except by Captain McCalla. who asked and obtained permission to knock down a blockhouse some miles from the entrance to the harbor." After reviewing the testimony in regard to the blockade of Cienfuegos, Mr. Hanna quoted the order directing Commodore Schley to leave Cienfuegos before daylight of May 23, and said that this order had directed that, if possible the squadron should leave before daylight of that day, it should be construed as a message of urgency. "Almost every word of this message Imparts haste and urgency," he said. "Evidently the commander-in-chief did not expect Commodore Schley to remain at Cienfuegos after its receipt." He then proceeded to show that while this dispatch bore the same elate as No. 8, it was really later, because No. 8 had been dated at Key West, and the above order had not been written until the arrival of Admiral Sampson at Havana, ninet miles eastward. Hence he contended that this order should have superseded No. 8. "Clearly then," he said, "Commodore Schley was under urgent instructions to leave for Santiago at once. He did not do so, and did not leave until the evening of the next day." Respecting the oreler that the flying squadron, on leaving Cienfuegos, should mask Its movements, Mr. Hanna said that this order was not carried out. "This concludes the subject of the first and second specifications," said Mr. Hanna. He presented the following points covering these specifications, which, he said, he had made in the form of inquiries: First Why the flying squadron was dilatory in arriving at Cienfuegos. Second Why the squadron was held there after the receipt of Sampson'. order written and dated off Havana May 21, saying: "Re at Santiago May 24." Third Why nothing was done to communicate with the Cubans after the receipt of the McCalla memorandum, date 8:15, May 23, and particularly why the three-light signals that had attracted general attention on board the fleet, were not investigated after Commodore Schley learned that there were Cubans in the neighborhood where such signals were displayed. Fourth Why order No. 6, directing that steps be taken to prevent the enemy from continuing work on certain new fortifications, was not obeyed. Fifth Why the order directing the masking of the movements of the fleet on leaving Cienfuegos was not obeyed. Sixth The nature and causes of the current said to have accounted for the steaming of the ships off shore at night while on blockade at Cienfueircs. Seventh Why. after learning positively that the Spanish squadron was not there, and accepting this report as conclusive, the commodore sent official letters and telegrams saying not that they would leave at once, but on the following day. Eighth Why the commodore failed to report to any high authority that he actually did leave Cinfucgos on the evening of the I'lth. if. as appears h2 did so, fail to report; and generally. Ninth Why, irrespective of signals, orders or aids of any source, the commanding officer of the flying squadron, did not, while at Cienfuegos. of his own motion, and with the resources under his command, do something to gain information of the Spanish fieet. Mr. Hanna then took up the third specification of the precept concerning the cruise from Cienfuegos to Santiago. He admitted that the Eagle had delayed the progress of the squadron, but said this was not due to the weather, but to water in her compartments. The testimony was, he said, uniform to the effect that the run was a slow one, and that it did not proceed with dispatch, as dlrecteel. Reference was made, in th;s connection, to the sending away of the Eagle to Port Antonio for coal, and Commander Southerland's testimony was Quoted to the effect

that the Eagle could have coaled from the Collier Merrimac. "As to whether the fighting ship thould have been held back for the Eagle I no not express an opinion before this court." ali Mr. Ilanna, and, then, with this sentence, he laneleei the squadron twenty-live mile south of Santiago May 20. and then tocK up the retrograd" movement. Mr. Hanna said there had been no explanation of the lact that the squadron had stopped so far south of Santiago nor of the circumstances that after passing the longitude of Santiago he had continued to the eastward, except that cn the latter point Admiral Schley had said that at the time he was asleep. It was at this point that the scout boats St. Paul, Minneapolis and Yale were encountered and Mr. Hanna referred to this incident, narrating Captain Sigsbee's visit to Commodore Schley on board the Rrooklyn. and the contradictory testimony concerning the purport of the captain's communication for himself ami Captain Jewell and Wise he quoted it (Sigsbee's testimony) to the effect that he hael not told the commodore that the Spanish fieet was not in Santiago and also gave Admiral Schlev's version of the interview, claiming that "Sigsbee did say that the spanlare'.s were not there. Mr. Hanna also referred to the testimony of Admiral Marble, saying that Sigsbee had said that he knw that the Spaniards were not in the harbor. Mr. Hanna thought there could be no difficulty in explaining the apparent contradictions. Captain Sigsbee was an officer of experience and knew very well that the fact that he had not seen the fielet was not evidence that the fieet was not there. If Captain Sigsbee had said positively the fleet was not on ' the inside Commodore Schley should have refused to accept it as utterly illogical. Continuing, Mr. Ilanna said: "I should think that had Commodore Schley received Information that set his mind at rest sufficiently to warrant his turning his squadron back toward Key West, convinced him conclusively that the Spanish fleet was not there, he would surely have stated that in his next telegram to the department." Discussing the Nunez incident Mr. Hanna said: "If the Pilot Nunez had been interrogated on Jioard the Rrooklyn as he was before this court the fact that he knew nothing of twin-screw vessels would have been developed and. in view of the Importance of the movement, there should have been a complete investigation." At this point Mr. Hanna took up specification four, referring to the retrograde movement. He said that In making this movement Commodore Schley had not only taken away from Santiago the fighting ships of the flying squadron, but also the scout vessels located there by the government to watch the mouth of the harbor. "During this time." he said, "the gates of the harbor were left entirely unguarded and it was not our fault that Cervera's fleet did not get away without being destroyed." Mr. Hanna had not completed his argument when the court adjourned for the day. LAND OF THE BENIGHTED

nitlTAIX ENVELOPED IX A 3IAXTLE OF THICK, 11LACK FOG. London So Dnrk Yesterday that Dangers of All Kinds Lurked iu the Streets Many Casualties. LONDON, Nov. 4. A fog such as Great Britain had not experienced for years enveloped London and half of the united kingdom to-day, blockading shipping, deranging railways and throwing business in London, Rirmingham and other provincial cities into confusion. So dense was it that a walk into the streets was an adventure. The fog descended on the metropolis and the suburbs so thickly that between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon the principal avenues of traffic resembled the steam room of a Turkish bath. Hundreds of thousands of London's suburban population vainly endeavored to grope their way to the railway stations. The few who succeeded found the trains all stalled. Around Trafalgar square and the houses of Parliament scenes unparalleled fur years were witnessed. Hundreds of omnibuses, cabs, carts and wagons formed an inextricable and immovable mass. The mounted police, in trying to clear away the jam, lost themselves. Many vehicles were in collision. The dri.-ers, not knowing where they were, stood at the heads of their horses patiently waiting the lifting of the premature darkness. Lanterns were at a premium, newsboys transformed their papers into temporary torches, highwaymen pursued their vocation, casualties were frequent, and even hardened Londoners freely expressed a dread of the continuation of such fogs as to-day reached a climax. If the fog had not lifted somewhat towaid night Lonelon would have been ?o congested that its Ifousing resources, commodious as they are, would have been taxed beyond their limits by the forced accommodations of the fog-bound suburbanites. Among the children and old uopie the deleterious effects of such a continuous and exceptional fog can scarcely be estimated. Several theaters were obliged to ciose for the evening on account of the :og. In addition to the outrage at the Kensington branch of the London and Southwestern Rank, which occurred at 4 o'clock, when the fog was elensest, several small street robberies have been reported, many victims b-ing stunned by sandbags. Two (xpress trains had narrow escapes fron; se rius collision. IN BEHALF OF CARTER. Answers and Demurrers Agninst the Government's Complaint. SAVANNAH, Ga., Nov. 4. In the United States Court to-day answers and demurrers were filed by the defendants in the case of the United States vs. Oberlln M. Carter and others. This is the case in which the government has proceeded to hold up certain securities and other property held In the name of Oberlln M. Carter or those closely associated with him. Former Captain Carter, Lorenzo D. Carter and Stanton I. Carter filed demurrers alike. The affidavit of former Captain Carter is dated at Leavenworth, Kan.. Oct. 23. It is contender! that the government has made no case that entitles It to an equity or relief, and that the bill contains no matter of equity whereon the court can grant a decree or give any relief. It appears upon the face of the bill, says the answer, that there is another suit pending for tho same matter between frhe same parties. The discovery sought In the bill Is in aid of a criminal suit and not in aid of a suit of a civil nature. There are several clauses in the bill and If the complainant is entitled to relief it should have sued at law upon the several clauses. The defendant therefore demurs to the b.ll and a.-ks the Judgment of the court whether he shall be compelled to make further answer and prays to be dismissed with his costs and charges most wrongfully sustained. The answer of the Edison Electric Illuminating Company shows on its books when it was the Rrush Electric Light Company, Oberlln M. Carter appeared as the owner of fifty shares of its capital stock, all of which were transferred by Caiter Jan. 27. since which date no stock has been owned by Carter to the defendant's knowledge. That, except as stated, the defendant Is a stranger to all the matters and things in the plaintiff's bill. The defendant denies all manner of unlawful combination and confederacy wherewith It Is by the bill of the complaint charged. The answer of the Savannah Rrewing Company shows that twenty-five shares of Its capital stock are in the name of Oberin M. Carter on the company's books. The rest of th answer Is similar to that of the Edison Electric Company. Women's Foreign ?Iislonnry Society. PHILADELPHIA.

IHUGAXDS TRYING TO GET INFORMATION I'ltDM IIIUGANDS. Will Endenvor to Ascertain Whether Ml" Stone, the Kidnaped ilounry, I Still Alive. HITCH IN THE NEGOTIATIONS IUSSIAX .MIMSTF.lt ANTAGONIZED n' CONSUL DICKINSON. Student Who NVas with Miss Ston When She Was Captured Thinks the Missionary Is Dead. NEW YORK, Nov. 4. According to tho Vienna römische Corrcspondenz, quoted by the correspondent of the London Times and the New York Times in the Austrian capital, a well-known Macedonian brigand has been Instructed to obtain lnforrpaticn as to whether Miss Ellen M. Stone is still alive. Two other brigands, well acquainted with the country, have been commissioned by the United States consul general to try to get In touch with the missionaries captors. The prefect of th Sofia police has also sent two messengers. Miss Stone's release is again represented as being imminent. The hitch in the negotiations for Mis Stone's release arises from two causesfirst, the antagonism between United State Agent Dickinson and Russian Minister Rakhmctelf; second, the missionary and diplomatic disinclination to accede to the brigands' terms, though moderated says the Samakov correspondent of the Journal and Advertiser. The relations between M. Dakhmeteff and Mr. Dickinson are strained to the breaking point. The former, being friendly to Rulgaria, docs not van; his agent to finish the final transaction on Rulgarian soil. Mr. Eerth, a Maeedonian student at the American Institute at Sanv.kov. ene of tne agents sent to ne gotiate rith the briganus, has returned from Raslog. He reports that tho brigands consider Mr. Dickinson & money offer as too small. They say they do not want to agree to terms that would disgrace them with their brethren. Discussing the amount of ransom. Missionary Rai re!, purser of the Samakov Institute, said: "It is believed that if the brlginds get a quarter of what they still nsk bands will spring up like mushrooms. Samakov itself will furnish many and Rulgaria will be ruined. The brigands l-gan negotiations with us by asking twice Miss Stone's weight in gold. Even a fourth of this sum is preposterous. If the Reparians had either trackers or bloodhounds Miss Stone would not b spending her siv-tv-ftrst day with the btlgands." The positive conviction that Miss Ellen M. Stone is dead is contained in a letter which has just been received in Roston from Ivan Raduloff, a student who was with the American missionary when she was captured by brigands in Turkey, together with Mme. Tsilka. says the Roston correspondent of the Press. According to this letter the snow in the mountains into which Miss Stone and her companion were taken by their captors was three feet Jeep three weeks ago at the time the letter was written. Even in the summer time tha snow upon the highest Mimrnits of these mountains does not melt. The first snow fall usually comes at abenit the mlM!e of September and by the middle of Oct ob r the mountain passes are absolutely closed to travel. It was the conviction among Miss Stone's friends in Samakov, Rulgaria. three weeks R'XO, that she could not possibly have survived the rigors of her captivity until that elate. There was a hope that Miss Stonemight have Inen concealed by her capters in the monastery of St. Ivan, of Sila. which Is near tho Bulgarian-Turkish frontier and on the Rulgarian side of it. So great was the anxiety of the Rulgarian government to do everything in its power to assist the United States representatives In thir effort to find the mbiorary that it adopted the exceedingly unpopular measure of ordering a search of the monastery. This search disclosed the fact that Miss Stona had not been there. The discovery was disappointing to Miss Stone's friends In Samakov. According to the letter of Ivan Raduloff Consul General Dickinson has retarded the release of Miss Stone seriously. It is said Mr. Dickenson, by his criticism of the Rulgarian government, has antagonized the government. It is understood In Samakov that tho brigands who were in immediate charge of the captive were under positive ln?tructions to take her life at the first Indication of the probability of a skirmish with tha troops.

Illnst Furnaces Short of Coke. PITTSRURO. Nov. 4. Eighteen blat furnaces In the Pittsburg district and ths Mahoning and Shenago valleys havs or are about to dose down for want of coke. The car and motive power shortage on the railroads is rcjvnsible for this condition. Suspension of theer blast furnaces will cut off pig iron production over IS) tons daily and will throw about l.fu men idle. No relief is in sltfht. and it is probable other furnaces will have to close, with the result that independent at eel mills will be materially affected. Interurban llnllttay "Conililnr.H LEXINGTON.
