"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.

.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.
. Indiana had, he said, occupied a position
at the eastern extremity of the arc of the
' blockading circle, while Brooklyn had been
i the wrst end of the Hue.

imately north anil Hrooklyn northerly nml

und was heading In the same general direc
tion ss that vessel was. 1 had a close view
of all tho vessels up to the time Indliiuu

Is higher, and Its per cent of Illiteracy
Is lower, than that of any other state.
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

In tl'.o sentiment of the people of No

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. Wo have
no class hatred, nor nro we envious of thoso
who throng-, legitimate business methods
happen to amahs wealth more rapidly than
we arc recustomed to.

father and son llsh for a living and have
been camping out on tho river bank. A
da. or two ago someone cut Jneob Fisher's

thu deed. The son, presumably In a Jesting
mood, asserted that he hud mutilated the
tent. Without waiting for nny further re
marks. Fisher senior picked up hla shot

runge at his son. Tho shot took effect In
the left breast, causing almost instant

Weather: Fresh breeze from north

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.
