WASHINGTON, Oct. 2M-The crow-ex
amination of Admiral Schley was continued
throughout the session of the court of In
quiry today. The progress, made wan ex
ceedingly slow. Practically, the whole day
was consumed in questioning the admiral
about tho cruise from Clenfuegos to San
tiago and the motives and Influences that
governed him In turning back after his
.squadron had arrived In the vicinity of the
ally felt that tho tour of tho du- 'r
mv-uiao linn uixu i euvtcsoi ;
whole, comparatively llttlo Interest ha.
been taken lu It, the war and other events
having completely overshadowed tho royal
Journey. The officials, however, aro deter
mined that It shall end In a blaze of glory.
At Portsmouth an effective naval display
has been arranged. Fifteen battleships
and cruisers will sail tomorrow to meet the
royal yacht Ophlr and escort it to Ports
mouth. Other ships there will Join In the
reception, nnd Friday evening the wholo
fleet in tho harbor will bo Illuminated.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra, with
the duke and duchess of Cornwall and York
and other members of tho royal families ou

flotilla of other smaller yachts, will meet
Ophlr In tho channel Friday and escort It
Into the harbor.
The royal party will take train Satur
day and reach London at 1 o'clock in the
afternoon. Hero tho troops will keep the
streets clear for tho procession from Vic
toria station, by way of Constitution hill,
Picadilly and St. James street, to Marl
borough house. All traffic on the London &

WASHINGTON'. Oct. 29. (Special Tele
gram.) Secretary Wilson of the Depart
ment of Agriculture leaves for his home In
Traer, In., tomorrow "to vote," said he,
"and Incidentally to make one or two
speeches.
I see," ho added, ''that some of the
western newspapers continue to criticise
me for alleged statements made regarding
the crop conditions du?tng tho early fall. I
am somewhat surprised at these attacks
because ray whole active life has been
spent In the west and I am part of its rest
less energy. The tountry on tho west side
of the Dakotas, to my mind, la In the actual
corn belt of tho United States and any oth
er geographical division would be mislead
ing and any statement that would seem
to reflect on Kansas, Nobraska, the Dakotas
or Colorado attributed to me hardly merits
serious consideration.
"With regard to the enormous wheat yield
in Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas the
department Is giving that matter serious
consideration. No country can grow wheat

The Judge advocate In conducting the
cross-examination used a carefully pre
pared typewritten list of questions. They
called for a comparison of statements Ad
miral Schley han made either In his direct
testimony, in his communication to the
scnato or In his dispatches to Admiral
Sampson or tho Navy department, with thu
testimony of witnesses who have procedsd
him and the logs and signal books of tho
other vessels of tho flcot
The questions wore not asked in chron
ological order, but Jumped from one sub
ject to another. Throughout the strain to
which the witness waa naturally subjected
while under examination the admiral re
tained his customary composure. Only
once did he display Impatience or weari
ness. At one point when asked a question
he replied that he had been asked the same
question yesterday, at the aame time tell

Tito Points at Inquiry
The main points to which the cross-ex
amlnatlon was directed today were the
ability of tho ships to coal off Clenfuegos
and the reasons for what Is known as tho
tetrograde movement.
The lattor point waa dwelt upon with
much emphasis and had not been disposed
of fully when the court adjourned. Tho
admiral gave three reasons for turning
back: First, the statement of Captain Slgs
bee, who commanded St. Paul, that the
enemy waa not In Santiago; second, the
opinion of Nunez, the pilot, that tho entrance
was too narrow and shallow for tho Spanish
shins to enter and, third, the ambiguity of
the department's telegram
In tho course of the cross-examination
the admiral said he regarded the depart
ment's dispatch rather u a suggestion than
as an explicit order, a suggestion which he
carried out after the had. abated and thu
coal supply of the ships had been replen
ished. ' A

LONDON, Oct. 29. A dispatch from Lord

he has received reports of important fight
ing. October 54, near Great Marlco, when

sunners and drivers were killed
or wounded.
Lord Kitchener mentions a number of
minor affairs and says this week's "bag"
consisted of seventy-four Boers killed, six

l'olley to Northern Pacific Two
Elements Are Negotiating-.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 29. Tho Northern Fa-
clflo today received from tho Railway Un
derwriter one of the largest Insurance
policies ever written In the United States.
Its total was $13,400,000. It is tho largest
single policy the company ever gave. In
addition to the above the company has also
Insured, out ot Its own fund, a large
amount of property, tho total- being about
$6,600,000, making n total Insurance Just
provided of $20,000,000.
Tho insuranco covers all properly which
Is destructible by Arc and Includes rolling
stock, merchandise In transit, warehouses,
depot buildings, shops, roundhouses, etc.
Insuranco on railroad property Is consid
ered a 'good risk, consequently the amount
paid in premiums was comparatively low.
The Northern Pacifies Insuranco fund
at the close ot tho last fiscal year, Juno
30, 1901, was $578,326, an Increase over tho
preceding year of $52,391.
Twn Interests May Agree.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29. The Evening Post
says: "It developed today that conferences
over the Northern Pacific situation bavo
now reached slightly more favorable con
ditions for ultlmato agreement of tho two
interests owning tho company's stock. What
this plan now taken up may be, those con-
cerned were not today ready to indicate,
and, of course. It may bo superseded, as
havo so many other Ideas.
For the present tho active negotiations
are being conducted by Mr. Hill and Mr.
Harrlman, and It is probable that until they
agree on some basis of actlon'whlch each
Is willing to accept, Mr. Morgan wilt not
be brought formally Into tho conferences.
Mr. Morgan holds tho proxies for the com
bined holdings ot the Northern Pacific
shares and can put immediately Into mo
tion any plan to be worked out by the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
officials and accepted by the interests over
them. I

LINCOLN, Oct. 29. (Special. )-Brlefs
on behair or tno state in mo casu
against tho bondsmen of former Treasurer
Bartley were filed In tho supremo court
today. Tho action comes beforo tho su
preme lotirt on error front tho district
court of Douglas county, where it waa last
tried beforo Judge Irving F. Baxter. By tho
decision of that court, given on Juno 25,
1901. Bondamon W. A. Pnxton, Thomas
Swobo ond Cadet Taylor wcro released from
liability on the bond. Judgments were re
covered against E. E. Brown, C. C. Mc-
Nlsh .tnd John II. Ames for $545,947.16.
Tho litigation now presents a novel prop
osition ot law regarding the liability ot
Paxton, Swobo and Taylor which has never
before In this action been cited to tho at
tention of tho supreme court. It Is con
tended by the attorneys for tho defendants
that on January 3, 1895, Bartloy filed his
official bond. They Insist tho evidence
ahowa It was approved tho samo day and
that Bartley Immediately began the dis
charge ot his duties. Later, on January 9,
the names of Paxton, Swobo and Taylor
were added to the Instrument nnd the bond
was again approved. These facts, they say,
will not be disputed by the stato s at
torneys. Taking up the legal side of tho
question It Is asserted that the filing Is tho
dominant act incident to making n bond
effective and that the act of approving It
Is only subsidiary. ' Further tho law Is

Paxton, Swobe and Taylor, having bcon

cause the contract had already been formed
and completed.

NEW YORK, Oct. .29,-Justlcc McLean DEADLY CURRENT DOES WORK QUICKLY
in uie supreme court, today granieu a cer
tificate of reasonable doubt In tho case
of Johann Mott, editor ot the Frclhclt, an
unarchist paper, In order to stay his sen-
tenco of twelvo months' Imprisonment for
tho publication of an article entitled "Mur
der vs. Murder," which appeared on tha
day ot President McKlnlcy's assassination.
Justice McLean says the only proof to
support thu Judgment Is that Most pur
loined an article expressing certain senti
ments, written by another half a century
ago, nnd published It as bis own, "In a
paper professedly of some circulation, but
which circulation Is shown by the sale ot
but a single copy, that purrhnsed by the'
police, probably tor the purpose of prosecu
tion."
The Judge says that the contention that
the publication has openly outraged pub
lic decency rests solely on tho language of
the article Itself, nnd that, the Indecency
repressed by the law relates rather to ac
tion nnd words which nature and propriety
require to bo concealed and suppressed and
to public displays ot evil books or prints.
'The Indecorum of this pilfered screed,"
says Judgo Mclean, "Is of another sort.
It pratea of humanity, Immorality and mor
ality, reason and conscience, but carries no
suggestion of the obscene."
The utterances, Judgo McLean says, do
not come within the meaning ot the sec

The theory tendered in Its sunnort' was
that tho bond In question was delivered to
nnd accepted by the stato January 3; thnt
l'axton, hwodc ana Taylor Having signed it
after that date, nnd therefore nrter its de
livery nnn acceptance, mcir signatures
were witnout consideration. Tne solo evi
dence to sustain thla theory wns the en
dorsement on tno uomi. wmcn wns as roi

not all tho evidence on tho question of de
livery and nccoptance. Conceding that the
bond was handed by Ilnrtley to the secre

nbovo endorsement, nnd was by tho secre

endorse it, "received and men jnnunry 3,"
nnd not for the purnoso of having him re
tain it in hla office, nor for tho purpose of
having It nccepted by the stnte. Thnt must
havo been Hartley's purpose, elso he would

been tno purpose or tno secretary of stnte,

The principal and his sureties had not yet

sitld: "I. would like to talk with the su
