went on, "I Inferred that be was a violent

curing from him nottB for a biography of
the admiral. He stated that the day on
which the call was made was very hot and
that on this account the admiral had asked
to be excused from granting an Interview.
Mr. Nichols said that after this conversa
tion he had produced a copy of the work
which his house was getting out, contain
ing sketches of the leaders In the Spanish
American war and containing pictures of
Sampson and Schley. The witness said that
at the sight of Schley's picture Howlson
said Schley had no business In the navy
and added that If Schley were In the Eng
lish navy he would have been put out "for
less cause than there is in his case."

"I asked." said the witness, "the reason
why Schley should have been put out. Ad
miral Howison replied: 'For disobedience
of orders.' I asked why, If he disobeyed
orders, ho wan permitted to remain. The
admiral replied. 'Recauso he gave the ex
cuse that he had to go to port to coal, yet
everybody knows that coaling at sea Is
Impossible.' "
The witness said that he had expressed
surprise at Admiral Howison's attitude and
that in reply the admiral had said.'
"You would not bo surprised if you were

During Mr. Rayner's presentation of the
matter Admiral Howlson interrupted to
say that he could not have said what he
was reported by Mr. Nichols to have said
concerning the matter of coaling at sea.
The court again took a recess to con
sider the question presented.
The court remained absent from the room
fur about fifteen minutes and when It re-
I convened Admiral Howlson presented his
I reply to the charges made against himself.
His statement was typewritten and was as
follows:
Following is Howison's statement to the
court :

Secretary Hackrtt made public some days
ago.
I'lrk llrinnrL. tn IMere.
Mr Rayner asked permission to Interro
gate Admiral Howlson. The court granted
permission and the examination proved to
be one of the most interesting features of
the day's proceedings. Mr. Rayner pressed
questions persistently, but the admiral
did not at any time compromise In his con
tention that he was competent to sit as
a Judge In this Inquiry. Ilefore the ques
tioning began Admiral Howlson remarked
that he did not desire to go Into any pri
vate discussion, to whlcch Mr. Rayner re
plied: "I will not go Into any private mat
ters at all. admiral, but the matter of
whether or not you had those conversa
tions with thesn gentlemen Is one which
we have to go Into, 1 will not encroach at
of Santiago.
"I want to know," he said, "whether or
not you ever said that to Mr. Frost?"
"Maybe 1 did." the admiral replied, re
flectively, and continued
"If ho was commandcr-ln-chlef 1 prob
ably did say so not only to Mr. Frost, but
to others. 1 am merely talking now of
the navy orders and regulations and the
customs and commander of the scrxlce."
Ciinnot It rm em In-r Spon.
Relng questioned as to his statement con
cerning Mr. Spon's testimony the admiral
replied that he did not remember Mr.
Sponl face, but said he had no recollection
whatever of the Incident concerning which
that witness had testified.
"I tried while hi was sitting here," the
admiral said, '"to remember If 1 hart ever
seen the man before and I cannot remem
ber having seen him nor do 1 remember
the clrcutr stances on the vessel. 1 did
come home on the Minneapolis, but It In
not my custom to Interfere with people's
talk when they aro talking outside. I
heard them ubuse mo aboard ship many
times when 1 was executive officer. I
have heard them and recognized the men's
voices, but 1 never went to the men about
It. I know that they never intended that
I should hear It. I never would Interfere
with u convetsatlon of that kind, It would
be unreasonable."
Mr Rnyner And you have no recollection
of your raying anything on that voyage In
regard to the Sampson-Scnley controversy"
"1 do not remember what 1 said. 1 may
have said something on that voyage. 1 do
answer anyone's questions it they are asked
politely hero it does not make any dif
ference "
Mr. Kayncr You do not recollect saying
on that voyage to anyone that If Schley had
done certain things he ought to have been
court-martialed?
Hot- It Mltcht Happen.
Rear Admiral Howlson No, I do cot re
member mAklng ny such remark. Dut If
some one. for instance, should come to me
ind say that a certain officer had done a
certain thing. 1 might say that under the
navy regu'i.itian he would be subjected to
court-martial or discipline of some sort If
he bad done a certain thing. I would not
hesitate to say that to you at any time.
TaklLg up the testimony of Mr Nichols,
Mr. RayDer called Admiral Howison's at
tention to the fact that In his formal reply
he had not denied the statements of that
witness. The admiral said he had never
said to Mr. Nichols that Schley had no
business In the navy or that a man could
not remain in the English navy under such
circumstances
"I never made any such remark as that
In regard to Admiral Schley," he said.
"If anything of the kind occurred there it
was Just as I stated in my answer to you
before If he fNlcholsl had stated to me
that Admiral Schley had positively dis
obeyed orders or done something that he
ought not to have done, that was liable to
discipline I would have said he should be
brought before a court-martial. If people
come to you and tell you that officers aro
guilty of BUch and such things It Is natural
for you, who know the regulations and
laws of the service perfectly, to say: 'If I
be Is guilty of this thing he should be
court-martialed for It.' And I still say
bo, as to anytiody."
Mr. Rayner He says- "1 expressed sur
prise that he should feel this way toward
Schlty. and he said: "You would not If
you were In touch with the sentiments
among naval officers."
Perfectly Willing tit Ilctlrr.
Rear Admiral Howlson Well, how in the
world could a stranger to me, coming to
my hou6c on his own business, get me to
speak tn such a way as that unless It were
In answer to some questions, or unless he
misinterpreted my answers to him. I have
t.'ot the slightest desire to force myself on
this court. I do not want to sit on It. It
Is not an agreeable duty lor me. I have no
desire whatever to do it. and I am not
maintaining any excuses for myself or any
for myself or an.
of my private discussions with anyone, I 1
01 my private discussions witn anyone, 1 1
think that Is my own affair. I am perfectly I
willing to get out as I say In my letter. I
Mr. Raj ner But are you willing to ask
the court to relieve you?
Rear Admiral Howlson 1 cannot ask the
court to relieve me. because they have got
to do that on the merits of the case.
Mr. Rayner Now you say Just now that
you have In conversations substantially ad
mitted that the credit of the battle of San
tiago was due to the coramander-ln-chlef
and If Sampson were the commander-in-chief,
If that comes under any of the speci
fications of the precept, have not you made
up your mind on a very Important question
that Is come before you now?
Rear Admiral Howlson No. sir.
Mr. Rayner If you have come to the con
clusion that Sampson was the commander-in-chief
and that the credit of that battle
was due to Sampson, have you not made
up your mind on a question that Is bound
to come before you now as Judge of this
tribunal?
Rear Admiral Howlson No. sir.
Mr. Rayner Then, why not?
Con AdJnat Thcmurl vc.
Admiral Howlson Because 1 do not care
what naval officer has been talking In
private, where It Is meaningless In more
senses than one. Naval officers arc taught
from youth up that their oath of office Is
something different from most people's
oats; and an officer can clear up his mind,
I honestly believe, and Judge from the testi
mony that Is given before him, without re
gard to what he may have taken from
newspaper reports, or from other rsportr.
That Is what I believe, and that la what
I say In my personal letter.
Mr. Rayner But If you have made up
your mind, would you not neresaarlly throw
upon us the burden of relieving your mind
If you. in conversations, have come to the
conclusion that Admiral Sampson was the
commander-in-chief on that day. would you
not throw- upon our aide the burden of prov
ing to j-our satisfaction that you were not
right nnd that he wae not the commander-in-chief;
that he did not win that battle? Do
you not put on us the burden of proving
that fact?
Rear Admiral Howlson If that question
came up at all, It would have to be by evi
dence, to you as well as to me.
Mr. Rayner Would we not have to pro
duce sufflclpn evidence to satisfy you that
you were wrong in the opinions that you
formed?
Rear Admiral Howlson Why, 1 think-that
where a man is known to be the com-mander-ln-chlef,
If he is known to be the
commander-in-chief of the squadron, there
must be something brought forward to snow
that he is not.
Mr. Rayner Then we would have to bring
forward proof which would satisfy you that
he was not commander-in-chief on that
Admiral Howlson I am not trying
to prove who was and who was not the
commander-in-chief.
J ti lie- Ailvocute Intrrpuar.
The Judge Advocate May I afck what
feature of the precept Is referred to with
regard to winning the battle of Santiago?
Mr Rayner It Is Involved In three of the
specifications, I think, If you will look at
the -specifications. The first specification dl
roct6 the court to Inquire Into his conduct
in connection with the events of the San
tiago campaign. Now, if the conduct of Ad
miral Schley at the battle of Santiago is
not an event In connection with the Santi
ago campaign I would like to know what Is.
The Judge Advocate The conduct of Ad
miral Schley is. unquestionably, not only
at the battle of Santiago, but In the whole
Santiago campaign, but I may as well say
here, Mr. President and members of the
court, that the question of Admiral's Samp
son conduct upon those occasions Is not
before this court in any way. This i not
a comparative question as to whether some
one did or did not do better than Comrao-
doro Schley. It Is a question as to whether
Commodcr Schley did his whole dutv In the
Santiago campaign and at the battle of
Santiago. And the general question ns to
whether some other officer of the navy Is
a better man than Commodore Schley or not
so good a man It not In any way before the
court.
."Not to the I'nliil,
Mr. Rayner That Is not the point, may
It pleaso the court that I am addressing.
We Intend to provo that Commodore Samp
son was not In command at the battle of
Santiago and It becomes a question of who
was the commander-ln-cblef at the battle
of Santiago. If Admiral Sampson w-as not
there, then Admiral Schley was the com-
manaer-m-cblef. And If a Judge of this
tribunal ha already made up hi mind that
Admiral Sampson, as commandcr-ln-chlef,
won that battle, It becomes a very perti
nent inquiry under the specification as to
what was tbo conduct of Schley during the
Santiago campaign. That will be one of the
questions Involved here-not a compari.on
between Schley aud Sampson, but as to
who was prar'Ically legally, officially ar1
technically the commander at the battle of
I"
I Santiago--to whom credit It due It. as the
admiral has said, credit Is due to the officer
who wai in charge If there has been an
opinion expressed on that point, of course
we want to know- it, and we want to know
If it It such opinion es to throw upon us
the burden of proof. Now, 1 will atk you,
Admiral Howlson. whether you have not
In conversation with anybody else at times
expressed yourself upon the proposition
that Admiral Sampson was In command at
Santiago and deserves the credit of that
victory?
Rear Admiral Howlson Well, that Is the
general official understanding, that he was
the commander-la-chlcf and the commander-in-chief
Is ordered by the president
of the fnlted States and It Is generally
understood that he was, and If he was there
and did his duty then he would be the
commander-ln-chlet. and should have the
credit. Being officially the commander-in-chief
he deserved the credit of the victory.
It depends upon what he did and what he
did not do whether the credit part of It
comes In.
There was considerable sparring on this
point with the conclusion that Admiral
Howlton said any conclusions would depend
on official reports and then. In answer to
further questions, the admiral said that he
had discussed the controversy In many con
versations during the past three years on
the basis of newspaper reports, Some
things he had said were favorable to Schlev
and some to Sampson. He never had said
that Schley was hol-headed and Impetuous
for he never had thought him hot-headed
or nervous.
The testimony having been closed, Mr.
Rayner In a few words called attention to
three statements by the witness which had
not been denied. He wished It understood
that there is no Impeachment here of the
admiral's integrity or his rapacity or his
eminent qualifications and not the slightest
criticism of any remarks he made at the
time. "He had a perfect right to talk about
this matter and to come to his own con
clusions, but If the question remained In
the admiral's mind In such a condition. It
throws upon us the burden of proof to re
lieve his mind of prejudice that he has
against our side of the case."
He ( Rayner j asked the court If it did not
think that the condition of the admiral's
mind now is. this day. that unless he hears
something to the contrary Admiral Samp
son wa6 the commander-in-chief on that
day.
Counsel then reviewed In detail the tes
timony given aud the fact that Admiral
Howison's statement was guarded and did
Dot acn' mnn5' material statements of the
wtnosl"''- J,r- Rayner having' referred to
Mcnois statement as to what Admiral

"owIpoD had Ba,d concerning Schley and
"? u,lu ""u coa.ius ui sea
Admlral Howlson Interrupted with very
positive dlsclamor that he never could
have made such statement. Following Mr.
Rayner's arraignment of Admiral H6wlson
as a member of the court that body took a
brief recess to consider this matter. When
it returned Admiral Dewey promptly said
"I have to announce that the objection
of the applicant to Rear Admiral Howlson
is sustained by the court. The admiral Is
excused from service for which, I know,
he is very glad."
Rear Admiral Howlson I nm. Indeed.
The court then at 315 p. m. adjourned to
await the nppolntmcnt of a successor to
Admiral Howlson by the Navy department.

Do you want to read something out of the
ordinary, something good for the blues?
then try "Captain Ravenshaw, or the Maid
of Cbeapslde," by Robery Netlson Stephens.
In hit preface the author really apologize
for having written a novel with no object
other than the telling of a story, but we
will forgive him Inasmuch as be has a good
story to tell and has told It In an amusing
and highly humorous manner. The author
has spent much time and trouble In study
ing the Elizabethan period of English his
tory "Captain Ravenshaw" Is a story of
London of the time of Queen Elizabeth and
Is true to the life of that most Interesting
period. It has been many a long day since
a more rollicking, laughter-producing, un
usual story has been told, and the reader
who once begins the book will not lay it
down until he has learned something more
of Captain Ravenshaw. One Is almost
transported Jaack to those stirring days and
can see In his mind's eye the street scenes
so common then, the gay life of young
bloods, an adventurer out of employment,
always on the outlook for a meal or a bed,
and not squeamish as to how or where ho
obtains either, a poor scholar out at elbows
and lank of stomach gentlemen lacking all
that we moderns have come to regard as
moral perception, and with that twlsled
sense of honor with which the old comedies
have kept us familiar. "Captain Raven
shaw" is a book that takes one entirely
out of the life of today and transports the
reader to an older world of strong animal
have been employed to good purpose In ;
painting a picture ot old London that can
be seen and appreciated by the reader To
somo "Captain Ravenshaw" may seem light
and only amusing, but It will be agreed ,
that It has characteristics that are all Its
own, and that it Is something out of the
ordinary, and that alone Is sufficient to
cause It to find favor In the eyes of the
great majority of readers. L. C. Page &

"Antonla." by Jesse Van Zlle Bclden, la
a highly romatlc story of the Dutch settle
ments In the new world near the middle of
the seventeenth century, when the Hollond
ers, under the auspices of the Dutch West
India company, held sway from Manhattan
Island to the sources of the Hudson.
The stcry opens with the arrival at New
Amsterdam from Holland of Antonla, the
beautiful young w lfe of Rutger Van Slyck, a
wealthy official of declining years occupying
a pretentious residence near that city. On
the passage from Holland Johannes Van
Blcrkam, a young and enthusiastic ad
venturer with land Interests on the upper
Hudson, falls In love with Antonla and de
clares his passion before learning that she
Is already the wife of another. The young
wife Is soon left a wealthy widow, and the
story Is concerned mainly In uniting An
tonla and the precipitate lover who wooed
her on tho seas. This Is at length accom

Trof. Richard T. Ely of the University of
Wisconsin, has brought out a new and re
vised edition of bis "An Introduction to
Polltlcnl Economy." The Introduction w-ns
first published In 1S89 and has since then,
without change, passed through many
editions. The author's second book on the
same subject, "The Outlines," appearing In
1803. was originally Intended as only a re
vised edition of the "Introduction," but
finally grew Into something quite different.
It was therefore decided not to withdraw
the earlier work, and In the preface to the
"Outlines" it was stated that in any futuro
revisions of the two books an effort would
be made to develop still further the pe
culiarities of each; the aim of the "In
troduction" being to furnish historical and
descriptive material; the aim of the "Out
lines" to give a systematic sketch of the
theory. In his now revision tho author has
carried out this idea and has brought the
work down to date without changing Its
form or character In any particular. It is
essentially the same book The book was
some years ago adopted by the bishops of
the Methodist church ns a part of the read
ing course for ministers. It alms to pre
sent what the Intelligent citizen should
know in regard to political economy, and to
do bo with scientific accuracy. Moreover
It alms to help those who wish practical
guidance In the solution of the puzzling
economic questions which come to them In
the various relations of life. Eaton &
