JUDGAVENT

Report of Board of Inquiry in Case of Admiral Schley rcrmol findings Condemn Schley But Brave Dewey In a NUority Report Gives Glorious Vindication In Which the People Will Concur. Washington, D. (X, J3ec. 14 The majority judgment of the court of inquiry in the case of Rear Admiral Schley given yesterday comprises the opinions of Rear Admirals Benham and Ramsay. Admiral Dewey, the president of the court, signs the report, but he takes exceptions to maDy material features, and these are contained in a personal minority report. The majority report follows: . . MAJORITY REPORT JUDGMENT OF BENHAM AND RAMSAY. Commodore Schley, in com mand of the flying squadron, should have proceeded with utmost dispatch ofTCienfuegos, and should have maintained a close blockade of that port. He should have endeavored, on May 23, at Cienfuegos, to obtain information regarding the Spanish squadfon by communicating with the insurgents at the place designated in the mem orandum delivered to him at 8:15 a ni. of that date. He should have proceeded from Cienfuegos to Santiago de Cuba with all dispatch, and should have disposed his ves-eJs with a view of intercepting the enemy in any attempt to pass the flying squadron. He should not have delayed the squadron for the Eagle. He should not have made the retrograde turn westward with his squadron. He should have promptly obeyed the Navy department's order of May 23. ' He should have endeavored to capture or destroy the Spanish vessels at anchor near the entrance of Santiago harbor on May 29 and 30. He did not do his utmost with the force' under his command to destroy the Colon and other vessels of the enemy which he attacked on May 31. By commencing the. engagement on July 3 with the xxrt battery and turning the Brooklyn around with port helm, "Commodore Schley caused it to lose distance and position with the Spanish vesselsespecially with the Vizc&ya and Colon. The turn of the Brooklyn to starboard was made to avoid getting into dangerous proximity.to the Spanish vessels. The turn was made toward the Texas, and caused that vessel to stop and back its engines to avoid possible collision. Admiral Schley did injustice to L "".tenant Commander A. C Hodgson in publishing only a portion . of the correspondence which passed between them. Commodore Schley's conduct in connection with the events of the Santiago campaign prior to June 1, 1898, was characterized by vacillation, dilatoriness, and lack of enterprise. His official" reports regarding the coal supply and the coaling facilities of the flying squadron were inaccurate and misleading. His conduct during the battle of July 3 was self-possessed, and he encouraged, in his own person, his subordinate officers and men to fight courageously. 'TXORITY REPORT JUDGMüwrq, 0P deWEY AND THüEOPLE. Admiral Dewey's wority re. port is as follows: In the opinion of the under signed, the passage from Key West to Cienfuegos was made by the flying squadron with all possible dispatch, Commodore Schley having in view the importance of arriving off Cienfuegos with as much coal as possible in the ship's bunkers. . -The blockade of Cienfuegos vrr effective. - ; ander Schley, in permiter Adula to enter Sryz:z"ost expected rcni;.!a concerning - - r udron from it 3 Pssa-o from Cicnfucjoaj

to a point about twenty-two miles south of Santiago was made with as much dispatch as was possible while keeping the squadron a unit. The blockade of Santiago was effective. Commodore Schley was the senior officer of our squadron off Santiago when ' the Spanish squadron attempted to escape on the morning of July 3, 1893. He was in absolute command and is entitled to the credit due to such commanding officer for the glorious victory which resulted in the total destruction of the Spanish ships. RECOMMENDATION In view of the length of time which has elapsed since the occurrence of the events of the Santiago campaign the court recommends no further proceedings be had in the premises. STATE GRANGE AT ROCHESTER

Rochester, Ind., Dec. 14 The thirty-first annual meeting of the State Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, is in session in this city, with nearly 200 delegates in attendance, coming from every section of the state. The grand officers are here, together with the three nestors in grangerism, Aaron Jones, Mil ton Trusler, and O. M. Curry. The Hon: Aaron Jones, grand master, delivered a forceful address, in which he outlined not only what the modern grange movement is, but what was demanded along legislative lines. These embraced free delivery of mail in rural districts and that the service be placed on a permanent footing; postal savings banks; election of United States senators by direct vote; amendments to the national constitution giving the government control of corporations; enlargement of the powers and duties of the interstate commerce commis-ion; regulating the use of shoddy; pure food laws; extension of the market for farm products equally with manufactured articles; enactment of an anti-trust law; speedy construc1tion of the Nicaraguan canal by the United States; a ship canal connecting the Mississippi river with the great lakes; revision of fees and salaries of federal, officers, and better protection of dairy interests. Many suggestions were also made looking to the betterment of the order. Preacher Howard Again Removed. Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 14 The board of managers of the Ohio penitentiary have released the Rev. G. F. B. Howard, a Federal prisoner from Tennessee, that he might be taken to Michigan to answer to an indictment there. He had served six years. Just before the expiration of his sentence Howard escaped, and while at Jackson, Mich., resumed his old game of swindling.

He was out of work and had no money to make his children feel that Christmas was for them, too, with other chiln. Yesterday one of the babies, lir;no said: "Papa, won't you give us su -nennies? We want to buy you and main., something. Claus may forget you? This plea for pennies broke the young father's heart. He was despondent and disheartened. He saw no Christmas for his children and when the baby girl's request for pennies was made he swallowed a quantity of carbolic acid and ended his troubles. . "Some childless kind-heart ed man or woman will do for you what I cannot," he said to his wife a few moments before ho took the poison.

HIGH AVARK

Rate of Wages is at the Highest Point Ever Attained. Dun's Weekly Trade Review Shows Top Record Tor Holiday Dealings and Summit of Prosperity Grain Dealers Have Faith In the Future- . New York, Dec, 14. Dun's Weekly Review of Trade today says: It is most Fortunate that the vagaries of speculation are not always deterious to legitimate business. Railway stocks fell sharply, yet full returns for November show that earnings were 11.5 per cent greater than in the same month last year and 18. 1 per cent over those of 1899. Industrial and traction shares were even more violently disturbed, yet the manufacturing plants of the nation were never more fully occupied. . Numerous labor controversies have been settled, and the rate of wages is at the highest point ever attained. Retail distribution is of massive proportions, wi h dealings in holiday goods the conspicuous feature. This class of business so far surpasses all ' previous records that it alone gives an unmistakable indication of the nation's prosperity, even if other more definite measures were not available. Records of clearings, however, express the situation with exactness. The volume of trading in securities is practically the same as a year ago, but exchanges through the banks at this city for the week were 20.3 per cent larger than a year ago, and 23.5 per cent greater than in 1699, while at other leading cities the increases were 17.3 per cent over 1&99. Western grain producers and dealers have expressed great faith in the future of prices, many announcing their intention to bold supplies until spring, when the scarcity would be marked and quotations reach a more profitable point. ' Speculative operators, as usual, anticipated this tendency of legitimate business, and inaugurated a vigorous campaign. The upward movement of option prices culminated on Monday, when May deliveries at this city commanded 88ic. Profit-taking was enormous, and when the advance seemed checked there appeared the usual shifting to the short side. British to Call Reserves. London, Dec. 12 The British government has decided to call out all reservists who have not completed their twelve years of service for service in South Africa. Additional drafts for the militia, yeomanry and the regulars are being prepared already for transportation to South Africa. The federal government in Australia also is considering the sending of further contingents to South Africa: C Stabs Woman and Himself. Ft. Wayne, Ind.,Dec.l4-Fred Dorsey,a married man, last night fired two shots at Mrs. Cora Willson, but missed her. She ran into the yard and he followed. and, catching her, cut her throat and stabbed her in the breast. He then cut .his own throat. Both are at the hospital, dyiEg. The tragedy occurred at Mrs. Willson's home, in sight of her little son. Jealousy was the cause. Valuable Horse Scared to Death. Tipton, Ind., Dec. 14 A fine race horse valued at 82,000, belonging to Thomas Noel, while being driven along the road, became suddenly frightened at a strutting turkey. The horse reared, ran backward a few steps and fell dead. Death was caused by paralysis of the heart, superinauood by fear. GOEBEL PAPERS BüINED Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 13 By the burning of the carpet store of Lowry & Goebel yesterday Arthur Goebel lost the papers relating to the death of his brother, William Goebel, and the trials of ex-Secretary of State Caleb Powers, James Howard, Henry Youtcey, and others who have been tried or indicted in Ken

tucky for the tragedy at Frankfort almost two years ago. These papers included affidavits, confessions, and volumes of testimony. . While Arthur Goebel suffered considerable financial loss in the burning of the store, he grieved more over the loss of these papers than over the loss of hisgoods. Sioce the death of his brother Arthur Goebel has given most of his time to securing evidence for the attorneys in the prosecution m these cases. At times he would work all day on the papers until his physicians compelled him to take more rest The next cases likely to be called are those of the Howards, on which Arthur Goebel, his attorneys, detectives, and others are now working. The fire was of mysterious origin. The loss is estimated at lv5,000 to 8100,000, well insured.

REVISIONISTS FINISH WORK Agree on Changes in Presbyterian Creed t and Will Perfect Them in February. Washington, D. C, Dec. 16 The revision committee of the Presbyterian church, which has been in session here for ten days past, adjourned Saturday afternoon to meet in Philadelphia on Feb 5 next. Their work was completed in a tentative form, including a shorter creed for use in the churches in connection with the ordination of ministers and ruling elders; a declaratory statement in the vernacular of the day for popular use, informing the public generally of the faith held by the church and the new articles to be added to the Westminster confession, relating to the love of God for all men, the work of the Holy Spirit, and missions. The shorter creed makes no change of theology of the church, but seeks to make plain the faith held by the church in those points that have been criticised and attacked. So far as it was possible to do so this statement was made in the language of the scriptures. When the committee meets in February it will finally pass upon all these subjects for presentation to the General Assembly at its session the May following. 25.00 Colorado and Ketorn.

UNITED STATES IN CHINA

Rockhill's Report on Peace Negotiations atPekin. Uncle Sam Stood Out for Moderation and o Chinese Turure and Saved the Kingdom from extortion and Possible Dismemberment. Washington, D. C, Dec. 12 The long-expected report of Special Commissioner Rockhill to the secretary of state on the results of his work in connection with the Chinese negotiations in Pekin has been submitted to congress, along -with the full text of the protocol, -which has been already published, and a mass of detailed -statements. It was upon this report that the president based his commendatory reference to Mr. Rockhill's work in his recently published message to congress. Beginning by detailing the conditions under which he came to be appointed in July, 1900, United States commissioner to China, Mr. Rockhill tells of visits he made to the viceroys of Shanghai and .Wuchang, which he said did not a little to further the interests of peace. Mr. Rockhill says that he fully concurred in all the measures that Minister Conger had been and was advocating. These negotiations extended over a period of fourteen months, and Mr. Rockhill summarizes the results in addressing Secretary Hay. He opens as follows: ''The circular note which you telegraphed on July 3, 1900, to our embassies in Europe and to our missions in Vienna, Brussels, Madrid, Tokyo, The Hague and Lisbon defined the policy already then adopted by the United States in the settlement of affairs in China and from which they never departed, Bearing these instructions always iu mind, the task of the agents of our government in Pekin was a comparatively easy one. Throughout the negotiations o-u- object was to use the influence of our government in the interestof justice and moderation and in a spirit of equal friendship to the powers negotiating jointly with us and the Chinese nation." After relating in detail the negotiations and their results, describing the various positions taken by the United States in the promotion of harmony and moderation, Mr. Rockhill concludes his report as follows: "Such, in brief, has been the role played by the JJnited States in the conference at Pekin. While we maintained complete independence we were able to act harmoniously in the concert of powers, the existence of which was so essential to the prompt and peaceful settlement of the situation; we retained the friend ship of all the negotiating powers, exerted a salutary influence in the cause of moderation, humanity and justice; secured adequate reparation for wrongs done our citizens, guaranteed for their future protection and labored successfully in the interests of the whole world, in the cause of equal and impartial trade with all parts of the Chinese empire."

The flames were discovered about 5 in the morning, and it was noon before they were subdued. The cold made the work of the firemen extremelv ar difficult. The loss to the company is between $125,000 and 8130,000.

Practically all the cars used on ! the Lincoln avenue line were destroyed. The hydrants in the neighborhood of the barns were found to be frozen when the firemen attempted to connect with them.
