Tt Is 11 solemn fact that the United

who was ever at Its head, previous to
Col. Roosevelt. The average age, too,
of the presidents since the civil war
duys has not been much over 50 years
at the time they attained olllcu. The
strain on presidents, oven In times of
comparative tranquility, has usually
been great.

Washington, Oct. 8.- The Schley
court of Inquiry Monday entered upon
the third straight week of the ln ins
tigation of Admiral Schley's conduct
in the Spanish war. Jt was expected
that the navy department would be
able to complete Its presentation of
the case by the close of last week, but
when the court opened Monday Capt.
Lendy's list of witnesses still con
tained almost a dozen names.
Commander Hodgson, who was on
the Hrooklyn with Commodore Schley
during the battle of Santiago "duly II,
continued his description of the bat
tle, lie said: "The Hrooklyn did all
she could. She got into action just,
as quick as steam could carry her
there. We commenced tiring as soon
as the first gun on the port bow would
bear, and we kept thu port battery fir
ing until she turned with port helm
through the are, using the aft, guns
until we got all the starboard guns
to bear. We got around as quickly as
we could with port, helm until we al
most paralleled the course of the
leading ship, when the helm was eased
and the ship steered a course parrellel
with the Vlscaya, which was then the
leading vessel, although the Maria
Teresa probably was farther to the
westward than the Vlscaya. When we
got around the smoke was so dense
nothing could be. seen or anything in
the rear of us. The three Spanish ves
sels then engaged were the Vls
caya, tlie Colon and the Oqucndo.
The Vlscaya was about a,500 yards on
our starboard bow; the Colon proba
bly 11 little forward of the starboard
beam. The Oqucndo was abaft the
starboard beam. We continued in that
direction when I remarked to Capt.
Cook that it seemed rather lonely for
use out there. He was In the conning
tower. He asked, 'Why?' I told him
that Ave were all alone with the three
Spanish vessels and it seemed that it
depended upon us to knock them out.
At that time this smoke was so dense
1 could not see anything and i sup
pose that, the New York being away
the Hrooklyn was steaming ahead of
the slower vessels. He stepped out
of the conning tower and exclaimed
to me: 'What's Unit off our starboard
quarter?' I looked in that direction
and saw the heavy bow of a ship and
said: 'That must be the Massachu
setts.' He. said, 'No, it could not be
the Massachusetts, she has gone to
Guautanlmo.' T said, 'It must be the
Oregon,' and he remarked, 'Cod bless
the Oregon.' L said, 'Well, I am very
glad to seu her.' The Oregon was
at that, time about, I should say, 100
or 500 yards olV our starboard quar
ter at full speed. We continued in
that position until the Hrooklyn's
speed began to increase as we got up
steam and probably drew a little far
ther ahead of thu Oregon. She nev
er was that close to us again as I re
member. The Oqucndo very shortly
fell out, and went ashore. The Colon
gradually drew ahead and also went in
shore."
"It has been stated here," said Mr.
llayner, "that, the Hrooklyn ran t!,
D00 yards away from the enemy's ships
In making her loop." The witness re
plied: "Any witness who made that
statement, although he may have
stated what he thought had occurred,
was absolutely mistaken." "How far
did she go from the enemy's vessels'."'
"She must have gone about, GOO yards
to the southward, as that is about
the tactical diameter of the Hrooklyn
at that, speed." "Did this turn inter
fere with the Hrooklyn's ability to
keep up her lire?" "It, did not; she
continued to lire froin after turret."
The questions Schley's attorneys
have asked witnesses indicate that
they will lay special stress upon
Schley's disobedience of orders. They
will try to establish the existence of
reasons justifying Schley in declaring
It was impossible to execute the or
ders to remain oil" Santiago, and to
substantiate his statement that he
had striven earnestly toward that
end. Tor thu llrst, specification, cov
ering his general conduct in the cam
paign, it has been substantially es
tablished that he conducted himself
aH a brine, commander.

London, Oct. 8. Thu rspcech of II.
Kelly, of New York, at an anarchist
meeting held Sunday in a hall in Tot
tenham court road, near London (In
which he denounced the late Presi
dent Mclvinlcy's political career), has
led to a revival of the demand for the
cxtirpitntion of anarchists. Thu Pall
Mall Gazette compares anarchism with
Fenianlsm, maintaining that thu only
difference, between theso sentiments
of anarchists and the war of outrage
advocated by such men as former
Congressman l'incrty is merely one
of diverse means to thu same end,
urged that the police of the two Anglo-Saxon
nations be empowered to
take concerted action to hunt down
the socinl enemy whether anarchist
or Fenian and that both governments
refuse them the right of asylum. Hy
a coincidence, the Times prints a long
article from Washington protesting
ngainst the license allowed the Irish
In America in plotting against Great
Hritain. Commenting on this, the St.
.lames Gazette thinks Uritish hands
are not altogether clean, and that no
law should be strained if Kelly and
other foreigners whoso cult is mur
der received immediate notice to quit.

funds, has been locnted at Havana,
Cuba, and officers have gone after

Havana saying that Miller was there

Pekln, Oct. 8. The officials hero
have not been informed as to whether
the court bus started for Kal-Fcng-Fti,
but previous advices lead to the
belief that the court did start. The
temporary palaces arc being prepared
like permanent dwellings, although
they will be occupied only for a few
duys. The requisitions for the travel
ing expenses already amount to 13,
000,000 tads, in spite of the edict en
joining economy in this respect. The
scnle of preparations may be judged
from a single item .10,000 taels will
be expended on tableware. Several
local officials along the route hnve
resigned because they are unable to
meet the expenses of entertaining the
court. The hitter's journey now is
particularly unfortunate, because the
regions traversed have been impov
erished by the summer famine.

Pckin, Oct. 8. Thu foreign soldiers
continue to treat the Chinese like a
conquered people. Groups of soldiers
roam about the city, wearing their
side arms, often intoxicated, mal
treating the natives and committing
petty robberies. A party of Ameri
cans recently looted a silversmith'fi
store, securing several hundred taels'
worth of property. The whole gar
rison was confined to barracks until
the guilty men were detected. Tlio
governor of 1'ckin has protested be
cause foreign storekeepers continue
to occupy buildings which they seized
in 1900, regardless of their owners'
wishes. The ministers will evict thu
storekeepers from these places.
