"Judgo Wllsnn'h denth," ho ndded. "13 a
revere loss. It la a loss not only to the

Bcrvatlveuess and long experlcnen In pub

acceptable. Personally, too. I havo suffered
u severe bereavement In this death. Wo

Schley, expressed tho utmost surprlso nnd
sorrow over the nows, whllo Admiral Schley
himself said: "Tho news Is bo shocking
that I cannot trust myself to glvo expres
sion to my estimate of tho man. I can only
say that I havo lost not only n clear-headed
nud brilliant counsel, hut also a dear and

Claxton of this city, who had charge of the
port engine of the Texas on tho day of the
battle off Santiago, had Just taken the
stand when tho announcement of Judge
Wilson's death was received.
Te.im In fSnoil Condition,
It had been expected by the government
that Mr. Claxton would confirm the stato
ment ot Engineer Hates concerning tho re
versal of the engliicu of the Texn.t. During
the short tlmo that ho wis on tho stand
Commander Pates was asked n few ques

niul wub In regard to tho steam log of the
Tcx.is. in reply to tho llrst Inquiry Com
mander Hates said tho los hud been written
up the day after the h.ittlu.
The other questions were by tho court
nud rotated to tliu coal supply of the Texas

ery on the 31st of that month. The ques
tions of tho court nnd answers were as lot
lows r
"Are you positive that tho quantity nf
coal reported on hand May 26. waj rot
rect?" 'Yes. as nearly as anybody can be pos.
tive Thcro was no accurate means i.f
weiRhlns what was tr.nl us and generally
there Is no absolutely accurate means bv
which coal Is weighed coming aboard ship.
AH naval officers know that coal Is weighed
to tho best of our nblllty and an accurate
account kept to the best nf nur ability
nnd It Is generally a good estimate. It Is
weighed nut In tho same way."
"Wai the machinery of the Toxas In
rflbicnt condition for serUcc on May 31?"
"I should say by recollection, yes. i
do not recollect that anything was wrong
nlout the machinery?"
Judge Advocate It Is the day of the
Vnmbardment of the Colon that Is referred
to May 3t.
Commander Hates There was nothing the
rratter with tho engines as I remember. On
that day wo were off coaling.
It had been the Intention of the court to

Tho consummation of the new system has

When tho npproxlmnto results of tho
measurement of Columbia nnd Shamrock 11
woro told to Sir Thomas Llpton in tho Erie
t.utiu ho could hdrccly conceal his Joy.
"Wo thought," bo said, "that Shamrock
would hnvo to coucedu far moro time. All
hnnds now bcllevo that our chnnccs aro
getting better nil tho tlmo for lifting that
cup. Mr. Watson has shown his talent In
this. I do nut pretend to enter Into tho
mnthemiitlcs of tho sport, but I will say
that tho result of tho calculations has been
very gratifying. All of tho crow of Sham
rock now bcllevo that our victory Is cer
tain. Of coumo 1 hope that wo shall win,
but I am not so foolhardy ns to Ignore the
magnificent copablltlcs of our neighbor."
Mr. Butler Duncan, who Is to represent
tho Now York Yncht club on Shnmrock, was
seen this evening. Ho did not caro to ex
press an opinion. Ho said tho two yachts'
nan n striking resemblnnco so fnr ns their
uuderbodles wero concerned.
Tho compnrlson between the two great
yacnts ror tho first tlmo In close qunrtcrs
led to much argument. Clenrly tho mast
of Shamrock was loftier than thnt of Co
lumbia; clearly, too, was tho clrcumstnnco
that Shnmrock had n much stouter spar
than that of Its rival. Tho diameter of
tho lower mast nnd the top mnst of tho
challenger Is several Inches greater than
thnt of tho defender. Tho sail plan, too,
nf thu challenger may bo open to sclentlllo
criticism. Whllo Its muslin Is admirably
adapted for pleasant weather, It Is thought
tho sails of Columbia will carry it through
n hard squall where Shamrock would prob
ably bo luffing to tho breczo.

AKnluned to Uolvlld the
Amumslu,
BUFFALO, Sept. 24. Loon Czolgu was
today found guilty of murder In tho first
degree by a Jury lu part III of tho supremo
court lu bavins on tho Dth day of September
shot President William McKlnley, tho
wound intllcted afterwards resulting In
tho deuth of thu president.
Tho wheels of Justice moved swiftly. Tho
trlnl of tho OBimsMn consumed eight hourn
nnd twenty-six minutes, and covered a pe
riod of only two days. Practically all of
this tlmo was occupied by tho prosecution
In presenting n cuso so clear, bo coutiunlvo
that oven had tho prisoner ontcred tho ple.i
of Insanity It Is doubtful if tho Jury would
havo returned ii verdict different from tho
ono rendered today. Thn nnnouncement
made this nfternoon by tho nttomeys for
Czolgosz that thu eminent nllenlsts sum
moned by the Eric County Bar nssoclntlou
nnd by tho district attornoy to examine
Czolgosz nnd to determine his oxact mental
condition hnd declared him to be perfectly
satio destroyed thu only stago of a de
feno that Judges Lewis nnd Tltua could
have- put together.
Sentence Pronounced Tiiiuorroir.
Ilcforo adjournment Justlco White un
nounccd that he would pronounco sentence
on thu defendant Thursday afternoon nt 2
o'clock. Tho prisoner was taken ut onco
through tho tunnul under Dclawnro cva
nuo back to the Jail. To all appearances
he was In no wny affected by the result
of tho trial.
The etowd gathered nt tho city ball todav
was the largest that has seen him slnco
his arraignment. Peoplu wcro lined up
on both sides of tho big rotunda on tho
second floor when court convened, nnd
ftingid tho stairs lending from thu floor
nbove. Thero wns no demonstration except
thnt of curlonlty. A largo number of women
witnessed today's proceedings. At 2:14 thU
afternoon District Attorney Penney au
nounced that tho caso of tho prosecution
was onded.
.Indue I.evrU' Momnrnhle Aildrmx.
Judge Jj-iwls aroso slowly and address
ing tho court said that the fludden close or
thu caso against Czolgosz was a surprlso to
him aud his colleague. Thoy had no wit
nesses to call for the defense. Do asked
Iho court that ho bo allowed to address tha
Jury at oucq. Tho court assented nnd thn
vonernblo Jurist began nn nddrcss that will
long bo remembored by those who heard It.
Judge Lewis said:
"Gentlemen of the Jury: A calamity hai
fallen on this nation through tho act of
thin man, but tho question Is whether his
net was tho net of nn lusnnu man. If an
Insane man It Is not murder nnd ho should
be nciUlttcd of that charge. Ho would then,
of course bo transferred to an asylum.
"Much discussion has occurred In our
midst and haa been called to my attention
ns to tho proprluty of nny defonso being
Interposed In this case. Mnny letters havo
been nculved by mo slnco I wns assigned
with my assoclato to defend this man, quos
Honing thu propriety of a defense botug
attempted. You, gentlemen, know, perhaps,
how Judge Titus nnd myself came Into this
caso. 1w position wns not sought by us,
but we appear hero in performance of ,i
duty which wo thought devolved upon us,
notwithstanding It was an exceedingly die
ngrecabln ono.
All lu lie niinnite to DuIj-'n Cull.
"His honor, tho Judge, who presides at
this trial as a Justice of tho supremo court.
Is hero because tho law makes It his duty
to sit and presldn at this trlul.
"Our very distinguished and iiblo district
attornoy has prosecuted this action be
causo the law mukos It his duty to do so.
You, gentlemen, aro sitting there hecausn
you wero commanded to nppe.ir hero and
under our system of Jurisprudence It was
your duty to sit here, hear the testimony
in this caso and perform tha duty of de
termining whether this man Is to bo exe
cuted or sent free.
"Tho defendant's counsel appear hero be
cause, utidor our system of jurlsprudcnco
no man can bn placed on trial for tho high
crtmo of murder, tbo. penalty of which,
under tho law Is death, without he haB tho
assistance, of counsel. Tho court has thn
power to designate counsel and It Is tho
duty of tho counsel thus designated to ap
pear in- the caso unions they ean matin
somo reasonablo excuso and succeed In
being relieved of tho duty.
"So, you seo gentlemen, if any slmplo
minded, thoughtless pnrson should entertain
the notion for a minute that the counsol
who appear In this case oro doing some
thing which they ought not to do, that per
son Is laboring under a very serious mls
npprehcnslon iih lo the duties devolving
upon n lawyor. Tho defendant, no matter
tow serious n crlmo ho has committed. In
entitled under our laws to tho benefit of a
trlnl. In tho caso of murder ho must havo
n trial.
Ilehnkea Would. He Lynehern.
Thero aro In our country individuals, not,
I hope, In very largo numbers, hut wo know
they aro scattered all over thn country,
who think that In a case llko this, or even
In rharges of much less degree-, It Is entirely
proper thnt tho case should be disposed of
by lynch or mob, Inw. Wo can hardly tako
up a paper without learning thRt In soma
part of this fren and Independent country
some man has been murdered on the sus
picion or belief that hn was guilty of snmu
crime. This statn of things does not exlsi
In our community, but It docs In somn parts
of our atatu, ns every Intelligent man
knows.
"It is charged hero that our client Is an
anarchist, a man who doos not bullove In
uny law or In any form of government and
thero are, so wn aro told, other Individual!
who entertain that opinion, Wo feel that
such doctrines nro dangerous, nro criminal,
are doctrines that will subvert our govern
ment In tlmo if they aro allowed to pre
vail, "Gentlemen of the Jury, whllo I bellevn
firmly In that. : do not bellcvo It croatml
a danger to this country equal to the belief
