Tho World's Paris correspondent asked
tho king of tho Belgians ten days ugn if
the report that he Intended to touch at
Florida during his ynchtlng cruise next

on onn of his frequent visits to the gay

"It Is one of my plans, But I huvo always
many plans ahead to chnoso from. If I
should go to Florida I should rcrtnlnly visit
New York, Washington and Annapolis.
Your naval school certainly would Interest
mo as much as anything In Amorlca."
Leopold II doesn't think the business of

In the royal safe, ho to speak, moat of the

outside or tho kingdom. IIo has n habit
of mysteriously disappearing from Brussels

o Paris, his favorite resort, or London, his
econd choice, for n hilarious holiday.

Thomas F. Walsh, mutl-mllllonnire and

went n yenr ago to a luncheon In Paris
given in honor of Mr. Walsh and said, on

ns far as Hamilton, where several hours
wero spent. The train then rounded the
westorn end of Lnko Ontario and started
on Itu long Journey to tho Atlantic coast.
Tho roynl party received a scries of
hearty ovations. At St. Cn thn rl no's the
school children sang patriotic songs as the
train pulled Into tho station. Lady Mluto,
wlfo of tho governor general, was one of
tho first to greet their roynl highnesses
when the train stopped at Hamilton. Tho
duke, na on many slmllnr occasions In

Irish Fusllecrs. Ho nnd the duchess wero
met by Mayor Hcndrlc and escorted to car-
rlngi Htnld the cheers of the crowds and
driven to the city hall, where loyal ad
dresses wero presented.
An Interesting feature of the ncrnblon
was the nppearancn of Chief Bell of the
Indian reserve, who Insisted on his loyalty
while ho held tho handw of the duko and
duchess for a considerable time. At tho

did not vote.
Tho announcement of the result renders it

Indicates the general feeling of tho miners.
Tho Journal De Debate considers that the
attitude of the foreign miners had nn Im
portant Influence on the prospects of tho
strike, nnd says:
"The American miners, who enro llttlo
for what happenB In Europe, rofuso to listen
to tho proposals to aid tho Frenchmen by
restricting their output. It Is useless, there
fore, to count on their support. The English
miners put forward tho attitude of tlui
Americans as ovldenco thnt nn International

It Is no longer doubtful that American nnd

At yesterday afternoon's meeting of the

$23,000 reward offered by the city for tho
arrest and conviction of tho kidnapers.
Formal action will probably bo taken this

E. A. Cudahy, when Interviewed yester
day, said: "I have hud a talk with
Chief Donahtio on this subject, and I'm
willing to be guided by his Judgment. IIo
thinks It will bo best for me to withdraw
tho $25,000 reward which I offered last

the kidnnpers, and hts reasons for It seem
to bo sound, so you mny announce, If you
will, thnt the reward Is revoked.
"I havo seen the letter purporting to come
from Crowe, which was received by tho
chief Sunduy morning, nnd 1 can't sav pos
itively whether It Ib genuine or not. It
reads like his composition, nnd the hand
writing looks like his. If ho didn't write
It It Is nt least a very clever counterfeit."
Chief Donahue snld: "So far as I can
sco now there Is nothing In tho way of our
complying with Pat Crowe'3 terms. The
only possible obstnele Is n legal one. I
have been talking with the county attorney,
nnd ho thinks n trial Judgn might not want
to go on record ns fixing tho bond of a do-
feudant beforo ho hns heard tho evidence
In tho enso ngnlnst him. This would be Ir
regular, to sny tho least. So far as I know
there Is no precedent In criminal prnctlco
for such a proocduro, but tho Judge may
ho willing to stretch n point In this par
ticular' case, ns the end seems to Justify the
mrnns. Tho county attorney will look up

TAMPA, Fin., Oct. 14. District Attorney
J. N. Stripling, who has been here several
days Investigating the labor troubles, espe
cially the recent deportation of RcsUtcncIa
strike leaders, nnd with a view to adjusting
the differences, made his report to tho at
torney general nt Washington todny. Ho
describes In detail the trouble between tho
striking clgarmakers nnd the manufacturers
nnd declares "the gravity of the situation
can scarcely bo overstated." Tho report
rends;
"Upon my arrival at Tnmpa I met a com
mittee und requested their co-operation In
ferreting out violations of the laws of tho
United States. It was generally admitted
that a number of tho prominent leaders of
tho Htrlkc hail been compelled to leave
Tnmpa. It wan nlso reported thnt strikers
had compelled n . number of their fellows
to leave on account of the Influence they
wero wielding for tho cession of Iho strike,
but 1 wus unable to find Individuals con
nected with this lawlessness. I conferred
freely with members of tho Board of Trade,
with representative citizens nnd with mem
bers of the Reslstencla union, which Is con
ducting the strike, but was unnbte to obtain
evidence of tho violation of tho law."
The district nttorney then deals with the
differences between the cmployoin nnd tho
men, declaring that strike have been fre
quently ordered from "frivolous cnuses,
nnd charging that the purpose of the Re
slstencla union "seemed to be not only to
control mniiufiieturlng articles In Tnmpa,
hut to control every other business. The
union was so oppressive and had gono to
such a length thut finally, when tho strike
was declared, almost ovcry man not
connected with the union rose up, declaring
thut tho work of tho Reslstencla had al
ready gono too fnr."
Tho district nttorney concludes: "Unim
portant concessions could bo made on elthct
side, which. In my opinion, would result in
no disadvantage, that would open tho way
to an early adjustment, but the strained
relations have reached such n high tension
thnt both sides hesitate over making any
approach, for fear that It would ho regarded
as an evidence of weakness. I. however.
succeeded In suggesting ti plan which mot

citizens, who promise to tnko the matter

Stiitcuicnt of Flirts.
In addition to this I wish to make n
statement or the iietunl fncts In the case.
Some time prior to August, ISM, J. S.
Hartley sent ji.uh) tiy man to inn niaic
louu unit Trust company, u oniiK doing
business nt Ouallnla. nnd received n de
mand ecrtillcnto payable to himself. Tho
bank fulled In August. lfW, nnd was duly
placed In tlie lunula or u receiver, jur.
Hartley had never at nnv time nrlor to the
failure of tho bank presented Ills ecrtillcnto
lor payment or demanded payment in any
way.
At I no time of the failure I wns nresl-
lent of as well ns a stockholder in ftM
milk. .My Interest In the bank did not at
any time exceed two-fifths of the capital
stock. I never had a controlling Interest
lu tho bnnk. 1 had nothing to do with
Mr. Hartley personally. His transactions
wero with the bank exclusively.
When the bunk failed nil the resident
depositors without exception united In n
petition to the district court for the np
pnlutinenl of myself ns receiver. 1 was
fo appointed and gavo bond fnr SS,0ir.
Soon after my uppnliitment 1 sent blanks
to Mr. Hartley for proof of bis claim
ngalnst the bank, This proof Mr. Hartley
iii.iiiii in ins iniiiviu'iui name ixitore n
notary in Llioln und nn receipt of th?
proof I went to Mr. Hartley tho Ufiuul re
ceiver's! certificate.
All n .Mutter of Ilccnril.
There bas never been nnv werrrev iiliniit
this mutter. It is nil a matter of record.
A complete list of the creditors of the bank
has been on tile In the nltlre of thn clerk
of the ilht.-lct court nt OgallalA for years
nnd Mr. Hartley'H name is mi the list.
There has never been any attempt to cover
nun inuiicr up in nny iiiiuini'r wnaiovcr.
When thn bank failed it had liabilities ag
gregating nearly $5,(" and Its assets were
greatly impaired Incident to failure of crops
and the financial panic. At the time of the
laiiurc or ino nana my wne and myseir
wero tho two heaviest dennsltorH. so that
only nbout $2,500 now remains unpaid. This
in exclusive or ine claims or my wire aim
myself. We have never paid a dollar on
thoK claims, In paying off tho liabilities
of the bank I have contributed tnv own
eBtatn and ull tho money I have made dur
ing recent yearn, amounting to many thou
sand nouars. i nave never nun any ns
Htstanco whatever from any of the other
stockholders. When I was appointed re
ceiver I determined I would pay all de
positors in full, no matter what personal
sacrltlcea I had tn innke, and this end I
have nenrly nccompllshed, Most of thn de
positors nave already rieen paid in run and
tho bnlance will lie paid nt un early day.
Mr. Hartley 1h renortcd tlirouv.ii tho nress
as saying that he never received nny por
tion or tlie aiiove uicniioueo ii,ii. i nnin
Mr. Hartley'H receipt for i'M) paid on his
claim imalnHt the bank. At no Htaun of
my dealings with Mr. Hartley have I ever
been conscious ot a dishonorable or dis
honest not. II. L. GOOLD.

OTHER IMPORTANT TESTIMONY IS HEARD
ullnm of Sw Orlciin nml llenle if
llnrvnril t.'iuitrlhutc. Additional
Information lu the Oniric
of a lluxy Day.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11. Today In tho
Schley court of Inquiry Judge Advocate
Lemly concluded presentation of testimony
for the government nnd the first ot Admiral
Schley's witnesses wns introduced.
Captain Francis A. Cook, who commanded
Admiral (then Commodore) Schley's flag-
hip Brooklyn during the Snntlugn cam
paign and who nctcd, though unofficially,
In the capacity of chief of staff for the com
modore, was on thn witness afnnd the
greater part of the day.
Lieutenant Bealo was the last of the gov
ernment witnesses, nlthnugh Captain lxmly
explained that ho would reserve tho right
tn call others If occasion should demand
thnt ho do so.
Ho had no sooner retired than the llrrt
witness for Admiral Schley wns called.
This proved to ho tho Cuban pilot, Edwardo
Nunez, who told Schley on May JiJ, 1S!8,
that ho did not hellovo the Spanish fleet
under Cervera wns In tho harbor nt San
tiago. Captain Cook's testimony wns a review of
he entire cnmpnlgu nfter Cervcrn's fleet,
beginning with the departure of the Hying
squadron from Key West on Mny 19 nnd
concluding with thn battle off Snntiago
July 3. He snld that at llrst it hnd been
believed by both Sampson and Schley that
the Spnnlsh fleet wan lu the harbor nt
Clenfuegos nnd that no Information tn tho
contrary hnd been conveyed to Commodoro
Schley until tho nrrlval of C&ptnln Mc
Calla on Mny 24; that It wiw Commodoro
Schlcy'B expectation to meet tho Spaulnrd
In the open scu nnd hts constant enrn wnt
to havo coal enough for such cmorgenry.
Ho gnvo particulars concerning tho retro
grade movement nnd explained Brooklyn's
loop In connection with n graphic account
of tho engagement of July S.
I'urt Helm un Own Hcioulhll1ty.
Referring back to certain points In this
story, Admiral Dewey said:
You ntnto you hcnnl the commodoro sny
nt ono time 'Hard nporL' That wns after
you had begun to make tho turu ani) tho
helm wns hard aport?"
Yes, the holm wns aport, but not hard
npnrt. Thero wns pcrlct understanding
botween the commodore nnd myBolf."
i will ask If your recollection Is clear as
to whether tho helm was put hard nport
by yoursolf first or that you did It In obedi
ence to nn order from tho commodoro7
'I gavo the order on my own responsi
bility. No question about thai. It was
not after having heard tho commodore. Ho
called out to mo, as I havo atnted, which
I now think wns simply to confirm himself
In tho Idea thnt It was turning with a
hard aport helm."
'At that tlmo did you hear nny con
versation between the commodoro and tho
navlgntor?"
"I did not."
"Did you seo nny torpedo boats?"
"I did not."
"Wero you afraid of being rammed at tho
tlmo the turn wns being made?"
'No, Thero wns something eald about It,
but I did not glvo It a serond thought,
from tho fnr.t that I knew thoycould not
mm unless they got within my turning
circle."
'Were you afraid of blanketing tho fire
of our fleet by turning ono way or thi
other?"
"We might havo done It by turning tho
other way."
I, nop I'rcieiits IlninmliiK.
'Had you turned with a starboard In
stead of n port holm, would such action
havo advanced you so far as to bring you
within the lino of movement of tho cno-
my's ships?"
'Provided they hnd taken advantage ot
It; that Is to r.ny, If they had continued
on their course southwest, straight for
us, and wo had turned so as to bring them
within our turning circle, It would have
mado ramming possible, certnlnly."
"How were they heading when this or
der nport was glven7"
"They wero heading southwest."
"Wore they then hoaded fo that had you
gone tho other way they would havo dis
covered the movement?"
"Yes, I think they would. Tho chart dls
tnncn given nt the tlmo who 1,100 ynrds, 1
estimate 1,500 yards and so mado It in my
report. In the llrst placo wo must havo
lost by shifting helm at such a tlmo, Then
If we had turned tho other way wo must
havo gone 700 ynrds. They would not havo
had much distance to run to got entirely
within our turning circle."
"That Is nil conjecturing."
Mr. Hanna What wns tho conduct and
bearing of Commodoro Schloy under flro
on such occasions, as you had tho oppor
tunity of observing?
"I always regarded him as nn enthusiast
ically bravo nnd patriotic ofllcer. Novor
In any other wny."
At this point tho court took its usual
recess for luncheon,
He ,ever Conilcinnril Texn.
Continuing his statement after tho noon
recess, Captuln Cook said ho recalled a
brief conversation between Lieutenant
Hodgson nnd himself concerning Texas
while Brooklyn was making Un famous
loop, Ho said that on that occasion Hodg
son hnd called his attention to Texas nnd
that ho had replied, saying ho saw tho ves
sel, which Hodguon hnd nfterward told
him hnd entirely renssurcd him. He had
novcr hlmsolf used tho expression, "Damn
Texas," tn Hodgson, In roply to n ques
tion by tho court Captain Cook snld that
when tho (lying squadron started out from
Key West both Sampson nnd Schley
thought tho Spanish fleet was at Clen
fuegos, that tho strange conduct nf Aduln
Increased that impression and thut they
had thought the firing nf guns there In-;
dlcnled the presonco of the enemy there.
He nlso snld that Commodore Schley was
enthusiastic over being sent to the south
ern coast of Cuba.
, TUo court also asked HoVjiH orders for at-
