"WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.--The Afternoon canton of tlio Schley court began with Inquiry concerning tho wigwag signal to Oregon from liiooklyn to Ore Us thirteen inch gun. Ihc witness, Lieutenant Doyle, aid thnt ho wan sure thai ho lind seen the signal mnde, but that ho was iinahlo to Mini an entry of tho signal In tho ahlp's log. Mending the log he found a notation of several signals nml then a notu saying that "other Iniportnnt nlgnnls had been made." Testifying concerning tho events of July . 8, Lieutenant Doyle stated that lit 9;. 10 a. in. of that date Brooklyn had been tf,30i yards from the Mono, 300 yards farther out than tho position assigned. Hn thought that Brooklyn's Hrst shot had been tired four or live minutes after It begun to move Into action. Mr. Ilanna Vnu havo spoken of tho ap pearance of Hinoko In thu harbor and of the action taken by Brooklyn with respect thereto; was any entry made in tho log uf the oreuricnce? y "1 tlml none. The only thing I find In relation to that In an entry here about nnveral burning blockhouses being visible on tho high point to the westward." "Do you think that relate to the ap pearance of smoke?" "No, that had nothing to do with It, be cause the blockhouses were away off to the westward." .No Kffort tn Discover IIoiin, Captain I.einly usked what efforts had been mudo by the Hying squadron to dis cover the whereabouts of the Spanish lleet while -the squadron lay off Cicnfuegos be foro tho nrrlval of Captain MrCnlla. Tho witness replied that thorn had been no effort, except In making Inquiries of tho captain of the Hrltlsh vsscl Adula, Captain Lomly then nuked a number of questions. The lirst of tliesu called for an oxplanstion of what the witness meant yesterday when he said he thought thai Just after the beginning of the battle of July 3 there was prospect of a "mcleo." "I thought," responded tho witness, "that the ship wore rotnlng right toward us. I thought they would get Into us nnd J thought wo would have a mlxup, as they were nbout 1,400 yards distant." Judge Advocntc Do you mean that tho course Hrooklyn took look It across tho Spanish line and that It necessarily ma . neuvcred so as to mako a turn to avoid that? "That Is what I mean." "What orders were given by signal from Hrooklyn to the fleet during tho action of July 2?" "I do not know, except what I have nlready testified to about the wigwag." "You havu stated that while you were on , top of tho starboard turrot It looked very much as though there vns going to be a general melee or mlxup with the Spanish phlps, I wnnt you to give as nearly ns possible tho relative positions of tho ves sels, Spanish nnd American, to the Hrook lyn at the tlmo you refer to." (Vrvern's Apiiroueli, "t the time 1 referred to the Spanish uhlps were In column, standing right toward us and about a point on our starboard bow," . , Ily tho Court What direction did the C, Spanish ships take Immediately clearing the entratico to tho harbor? "The direction must have been south west. They steamed rlRht toward us that Is, when I lirst saw them they were ou our starboard bow," By thn Court Was Micro n squadron night order book on" board of Hrooklyn? "I did not see nny. No, I know thero was not. I did not see any. There was a captain's night order bonk." Hy thn Court How did Lieutenant Sharp convince you that tho entry you made In the log of Hrooklyn regarding tho helm of Hrooklyn while turning was wrong? "Wo engaged in discussion at tho luncheon table, my impression lining nt that time that we turned with starboard helm. Dur ing this dlsrusslon It occurred to me the way I picked up tho ships on the starboard quarter did not qulto fit In with the turning with the starboard helm. It might have done so, but It did not seem likely. I reasoned out In my own mind that If wo turned with starboard holm we unqucs" tionably would have picked up tho Spanish hips on our sturbonrd benui, and not on our starboard quarter." Lieutenant Doylo was then excused nnd Lieutenant Commander Clifford J. lloush, who had mnde for tho court the largo charts of the positions of the vessels of tho American squadron while off Santiago, was called to Identify those charts nnd to state the date upon which thoy were pre. pared, Commander lloush also gave In formation concerning the pnases of the moon during the i'antligo campaign. SiiiuiommI llrnoM)ii Wti. Injured. .Captain William C. Dawson of tho United States Marine corps was the next witness. He was the signal otllcer on hoard the bat tleship Indiana during the battle off San tiago and said that he had noticed Brooklyn when the vessel turned to the southward. He had supposed the rhlp was Injured and had gono out uf action. Captain D.iwsun tald that during the battle ho had had n plnce on tho (lying bridge beBlde Captain TVylnr and hud been able to sec well. .

This scene of happluesM, contentment, In telligence and wealth, Is the commonwealth of Nebraska. As chlel executive of Nebraska permit me to bear unto you tho best wishes and happy congratulations or the people of that state. Thnt community or Interest which Intertwines and unltea the penpto of all the states la as strongly entrenched In tl'.o sentiment of the people of No braska as It Is anywhere else. While Jealous of our sovereign autonomy, we nre not unmindful of the fact that we nre but a fraction of what constitutes tho federation. Wo love our country und its Institutions. Mi nro In .Mllllnry Honors. As evidence of this permit mo to direct your attention to Nebraska's contribution to thn military history of the nation, in the civil war, Just as our petals of statehood wero opening, we furnished more than our quota of soldiers and In our morn teeent military contllct with Spain it wis the boys of the gallant First Nebraska who dispatched the first, as well as the most effective leaden protest ugatust In surrection and outlawry. Within the last forty years there is not n battlctlebl where this republic has been Involved that has not been snnctltled hy the patriotic blood of some Nebraskan. In spiking thus I do not wish to be understood as emphasiz ing tho fact that we nro of a particularly bellicose nature, or that our preferred method or means of adjudicating contro versies Is military arbitrament, but rather to make it clear that In the westland we have a high order of citizenship, people con scious of their national duty and pre pared to accept without complaint any misfortunes that may attend tho defense of our nation's honor. I'lmiiT or .Manhood nml Vt'oinuiih I, Nebraska has a citizenship Hint, without fear of egotism or distortion, I may say Is the flower of tin manhood and woman hood of America. When we laid tho foun dation for stutehood we drew upon tho best citizenship of all our sister states. Abounding with natural resources and af fording opportunities to acquire wealth to bo found lu no other state, It was but natural that It should draw to It the en terprise and thrift of thn untlon. Nor did the mngnit of commercialism stop with that. It not only dtew heavily upon the sister states, but It reached across tho writers and brought people of many na tionalities, who cuine and havo done their share inward placing Nebraska In Its pres ent proud and enviable position. Today Nebraska may be truthfully said to lie one of the most prosperous states of the union. Pence and domestic tran quillity are manifest everywhere and evprv body is bathing In the sunshine of pros perity and contentment. Law nnd order, whose conservation Is essential to the pub lic welfare, are enthroned In our minds. In our hearts nnd In our homes.

Weather: Fresh breeze from north northwest, which remained true and main tained Its strength throughout tho day. I'nxlct Knee or It. Kind. In n glorious whole sail breeze, whlrh heeled tho big cup contestants down until their lecrnlls wero nwash In the foaming seas, Herreshorfs white wonder, Columbia, todny brat Watson's Ilrltlh creation. Shamrock II, over a triangular course of thirty miles In two minutes nnd fifty-two seconds, actual time. With the forly-threo seconds which thn Irish sloop must allow tho American boat on account of Its larger sail plan, Columbia won tho second race by threo minutes and thlrtv-flvn seconds, tho fastest raro ever alled In a cup con test! It was not only a royal htruggle from a spectacular point of view, hut It was sh aoliitely decisive as to tho merits of the two racing machines. Thor Is not a ynrht lng sharp who witnessed the rnco todav who Is not firmly convinced that the de fender Is tho abler boat, blow high or blow low, beating, reaching, or cunning, and Mint Sir Thomas and his morry British fars nre doomed to return homo empty handed. Cop .SceniN .Hnfe. Again thn ancient pleco of silver, whlrh was brought across the western ocenn fifty years ago, Is snfe. Again American su premacy lu marine architecture, hns been vindicated. Sir Thomas linn been wishing for a hreozo that would bury Shnmrork's leernli nnd today hn had It. Just as It hnd a similar lireezo In thn concluding rnce two years ago, when Columhln In n driving fin ish bent tho first Shnmrock over six minutes. The wind today was strong nnd trno, blowing around eighteen knots out of tho northwest, and at every point of sailing, except perhaps running bofore thn wind, In which the defender bus already taken tho measure of tho challenger, the Yankee sloop proved Itself abler than tho Watson model. From the time It crossed the starl ing line, ono mlnuto nnd thirty-four sec onds behind the mug hunter, until It picked up and passed tho Irish boat three miles after rounding tho second mnrk, Co lumbia's pace was faster nnd It behaved better than Us rival. Reaching for the first mnrk ten miles down tho Long Island ahore, with tho wind abaft tho beam. It gained twenty-two sec onds. In tho closer reach for tho stake. It gained thirty seconds and In thn thresh to windward nn tho leg homo II gained c nctly two minutes. ISxcltlilK' All the Wn. Not, perhaps, ns thrilling as the rn marknhlo contest of last Saturday, today's race was, nevertheless, stirring from start to llnlsh, nnd us a marine spectacle It could hardly have been surpassed. It wns nn Ideal October day nt sea. There was Just enough frostlness to clear tho at mosphere nnd mako thn wholn cnursn vis ible! from shore. Tho breeze from the land plied up little swells, but it was strong enough to whip thn froth out of tho racing waves until It whitened the fcn of thn sea. Hh claws caught tho black smoke from tho stacks of tho excursion llret and tho whlto steam from their exhaust pipes nnd toro them Into fragments. Thn ensigns nnd flags with which thn vessels were dressed stood out llko painted boards. Thn tall, canvas-clouded racers heeled ns the wind smotn them until their crews could with diqiculty keep tholr footing nn thn slippery sloping docks and tho spurting spray was tossed thirty feet high n they shot thoir lean noses free of tho foaming crests. On the thresh to windward their decks worn a smother of whlto nnd foun tains of foam circled mvuv from thoir graceful bows. I'ooIn the Kiiiillxli SMpper, Tho Yankee victory begun with tho stnrt, when thn crnfty Harr by a fcystom of ma neuvering ronvinced his adversary that ho whs trying to cross tho linn lirst. Cnptnln Sycamore promptly took tho halt nnd rush ing his boat Into position sent It nwny ul inufct In the Hinoko of tho gun. Thereupon Captain Harr, having accomplished his pui pose, tacked nbout back of tho linn and held olf for more than a minute. Then with a flying start hn went over Just beforo tho handicap gun was llrcd. Somo of thn patriots wero disappointed until the ex perts explained that there was no windward berth In a reach whero tho boats could lay their courso straight for tho mark und that tho position nstern. whero llarr could knep his oyo on every move of his rival, wai the commanding one. Ho could watch Ryca more llko a hawk, knowing that when tha gap between them wan closed tho rac.o was his. I'll teen Mile Imleelslie, For the lirst fifteen minutes no human eyn could toll which ship. If either wan gain ing, bo closely were they matched. Tint gradually it became apparent that Columbia was overhauling thn Hying challenger.
