WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. Tho cross-ex
amination ot Admiral' Schley began today
before the court of Inquiry and hardly more
than a third of tho ground was covered
when tho court was adjourned at 4 o'clock.
Alter Admiral' Schley concludes tomorrow
two other witnesses will bo called In his
behalf, Admiral Darker and Captain Thomas
Ilordcn. Tho latter was an olllcer ot the
Marine corps aboard Urooklyn.
Tho Judge advotato will then bring his
witnesses In rebuttal, of whom there nro
understood to bo more than fifteen, and It
Ik probable that Admlrnl Schley's counsel
will call witnesses In sur-rcbuttal.
Tho crowd present today, while hardly so
largo as on Friday last when Admiral
Schley told tho story of tho battlo oft San
tiago, showed nn unabated Interest In tho
ptocccdlngs. Nothing Hci.satlonal devel
oped and tho only outburst In tho court oc
curred when Mr. Haynoi, Admiral Schley's
counocl, objected to n lino of inquiry ot
the Judge ndvocato designed to criticise
Admiral Schley's alleged falluro to formu
late a plan of battle with tho declaration
that as Admiral Sampson was In command
his Junior had no light to plan nn order of
battle.
Admiral Schley concluded his direct ex
amination, which continued only about
ten minutes after Ihe court convened this
morning with a statement of tho effect ot
the fire of tho respectlvo fleets at Santiago,
showing that 36 per cent of tho hits suffered
by the enemy wero ncored by Urooklyn's
flvo-lnch guns, whllo his shin received 70
per cent of tho hits from ho Spanish ships.
Captain Lcmly's cross-examination was
very searching. Admiral Schley, however,
appeared to be unruffled throughout the ex
amination, frankly ndmlttlng on several oc
casions (hat ho could not remember llttlo
details after tho lapso of three years.
Time Mmlt Specified.
One lino of Inquiry which the judge .ad
vocate tried to press, to show that Ad
inlral Schley did not proceed "with (lis
patch" from Key Wefct to Clenfucgos, by
attempting to contrast the speed made be
tween Charleston and Key West with the
:iV"lBniin.1T'. o,nr.i
was curtailed ny a decision or tne court;
which confined tho questions to tho time
mibsequcnt to Mny 19, tho day on which the
flying squadron left Key West.
Tho Judge advocate in his crosa-examlna
tlon dwelt upon the Interview be
tween Admiral Sampson and Commodore
Schley at Key West beforo tho departure
of tho flying squadron at which the latter
testified that Admiral Sampson Instructed
htm not to expose his ships to shoro batter
tes until tho Spanish fleet had been de
stroyed. He nlso dwelt on the fact that
Admiral Schley Issued no written order of
battle, on the question of coaling oft Clen-
fuegoa and the steps Schley took thero to ns-
rertaln tho presence ot tho Spanish fleet.
He was cross-examining the witness on
matters connected with tho cruise of tho
squadron from Clentuegos to Santiago when
the court adjourned. Tho retrograde move
ment, tho firing upon Colon and thn battle
off Santiago, which constitute tho main
parts of tho precept, wero not touched uoan
today.
CroNH'Kzninlnntloii.
Admiral Schley concluded his direct testl-
mony and tho Judge advocate then began
the crofB-examinatlon,
Ho was nsked about tho consultation
tiofore tho flying sauadron sailed to tho
southward. In reply Admiral Schley said
that Captains Higglnson. Jewell, Sands,
Cook and Manx, wero present, tie ex
plained that they had discussed tho order
of the battle It tho Spanish fleet was met
and also the question of place below tho
wbt heads of the over-water torpedoes,
"Was there nny other consultation with
tno cnptains7
"Yes. off Santiago, for tho purpose of ex-
plaining tho formation of the blockado and
the method ot nttack In casa wo met the
Spanish fleet."
Tho Judgo ndvocato then questioned Ad
miral Schley ns to the Identity of the Cu
bans who had Informed him at Hampton
Roads that the portion of Cuba, west of
Havana nnd Clentuegos, was well held by
the Spanish soldiers. Ho roplled thnt he
could not give tho names, thnt they wero
Cubans who had come tn him as comman
der ot tho flying squadron to give him thnt
Information.
He was then closely questioned ns to who
was present In thn cabin of New York at
Key West when he talked over the cam-
raUn with Admiral Sampson. Admlrnl
Schloy replied that CapUIn Chadwlck bad
tern present part of the time.
"When was this?"
"On May 18."
Tn Ik cd Over liiKtriicllona
"Did Admiral Sampson exhibit to you
nny or all tho Instructions ho had from
tho Navy department?"
"No. He Blmply spoko of his confidential
instructions from the secretary ot the
navy."
Admlrnl Schley aald he and Admiral
Sampson talked of many things. It was u
rather long conference nnd he repeated
that he could not recall whether Captain
Chadwlck was present all tho time.
Captain Lernly read nrtlrle 271; which
provides that the commander-in-chief shall.
If possible, before going Into action, sup
ply every captain with a plan nf battle.
showing thereon the position each shall
occupy,
"Yes," said the wltnoss, In reply to Cap
tain l.cmly'n question If ho had compiled
with that article. "I do not understand
that that Is necessarily written, 1 think
that order Is sufficiently carried out when a
commander-in-chief decides to place hit
crews In tho ordor of battle and Informs
rarh of what he proposes to do."
"Do you think, admiral, that you can
supply every captain with a plan of battlo
and do that at an oral conference," asked
Captan I.emly.
"I do not think that Is absolutely neces
sary," replied (he wllnchs. "Thero are

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. (Spcclat Tele
gram.) "I presented tho name of Cap-
tni ". n. Michael, chief clerk of the
state department, to the president today
as u succetisor to Third Assistant Secre
tary Crldler of tho same department, who
has resigned, upon telegraphic request ot
Senator Millard," said General C. F. Man
dorcon as ho came from tho Wlilto llouso
today, "and ll gavo mo great pleasure to
do so. Major Michael has performed
splendid service In tho department and
Btnnds high with his superiors and as hu
Is a Nebraska man my presence In Wash
ington made it possible for mo personally
to present his caso to I'rcsldcnt Koosc
volt." This was not all that ex-Senator Marnier
son did during hlB visit with President
Roosevelt today. Henry T. Oxnnrd, head
of tho beet sugar Industry of tbls country,
necumpanted General Mauderson and was
presented to the president. In n gcncrnl
way tho subject of reciprocity was talked
over by tho president, Ocneral Manderson
and Mr. Oxnard, who realizes that n great
fight will be waged nt tho next session ot
congress between tho conflicting beet nud
eano sugar Interests of tho United States
on one sldo and tho sugar producers of
Cuba on tho other.
General Manderson, having represented
tho beet sugar growers in their light beforo
tho supremo court or tho United States In
the now famous bounty cases, Is naturally
interested In the protection ot tho sugar
beet Industry, ami as he comes from n
state which produces 30 per cent of the
beet sugar of this country his Interest In
the Nebraska output is readily understood
Presents licet Growers' .Side.
Mr., oxnnra presented tho beet sugar
growers' sldo of tho question to tho pres
ident, who gavo tho gentleman considerable
time, notwithstanding thero wero In waiting
sovcral senntors and representatives who
sought an audleuco with tho chief executive.
The president of the Dcct SUgnr associa
tlon went over the caso as rapidly as con
dlttons would permit and it Is safo to say
that tho president has never had tho beet
sugar sldo ot tho case 'more ably presented
to him than today by tho man who has mado
this subject a study of n lifetime.
In addition to his presentation ot Mr.
Oxnard to the president and the suggestion
of Major Michael as third assistant secre
tary of state. General Manderson asked
that Rrlgadlcr General Rates bo given a
major general's star before his retirement.
Whllo this cannot be done now, it Is con
fidently believed that General Rates will

The presentation ot Major Michael's name
ns a successor to Third Assistant Secretary
Crldler ot tho State department occasioned
taorable comment today among newspaper
men who come In dally contact with him.
It Is not believed, however, that It will bo
successful, as the president has two uamcs
under consideration for third assistant,
II. H. D. Pierce ot Massachusetts, at pres
ent attache at St. Petersburg, and Prof.
Jackson of Pennsylvania. While conditions
seem to point to tho selection of Mr. Pierce,
It would not surprise others to see Mr.
Jackson appointed.

The retirement of Colonol J. S. Moore
nnd Major Francis B. Jones of the quarter

two vacancies tn that branch ot the staff
of the army which Quartermaster General
Ludlngton desires to be filled Immediately.
Two transports nro soon to sail, one from
Snn Kranclsco. tho other from New York
via tho Suez canal, and It Is desired to put
theso transports In charge of the quarter
masters. Secretary of War Root has bcen
advised by tho quartermaster general of
these conditions and it is expected that tho
president will commission two men this
week.
Ono of these commissions, It ts believed,
will go to Captain Thomas. Swobo of Oma
ha. Secretary Root ts of opinion that
Captain Swobo has passed n satisfactory
examination, having been officially ordered
beforo tho examining board at San Fran

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 28. Tho Picayune's
Amlto City special says: Threo white men
nnd eleven negroes killed In a rnco riot Is
tho startling newa received tonight from
Washington Parish. Your correspondent
has Just conversed with a man from Frank
Union, who confirms this Information, but
in knows nothing of what has happened
since yesterday evening.
Tho first news of tho rncn riot was
brought here today by Cornelius Mlxon,
who, with his mother, left from near
Frauktlnton this morning. Ho stated that
whlto men rodo Into Frakllnton at 2 o'clock
this morning seeking help, saying that tho
negroes were up in arms nnd threatening
to extcrmlnnto tho whites.
Tho sccno of tho trouble Is nt or near
Balltown, whoro n negro was burned last
week for criminally assaulting a whlto
woman. This was not tho cause, however,
of tho murders yesterday, In which threo
whlto men and eleven negroes were killed
nnd several wounded. Mr. Mlxon saw und
talked with many men from tho sccno nnd
they said that moro and worso troublo was
expected today, as armed men wero flock
ing to tho sccno and It was reported that
tho blacks wero equally active In prepar
ing tor a battle.
Mure Trimble I''enred.
P. B. Carter arrived from Frankllnton
a llttlo after dark tonlgnt ana sam inai
moro troublo was feared. Ho said thnt
Joo Seals and Charles Eliott nnd another
white man whoso name ho did not know
wero dead and E. H. Thompson, n whlto
man, was wounded and that eleven negroes
wero dead.
At 3 o'clock this morning a posso left
Frankllnton for tho scene of battle In
chnrgo of 8herl!t Simmons and from nil
over tho country armed men wero hurrying
to the same place. Mr. Carter said that
fi00 men wore probably under nrms today In
Washington Parish. Tho troublo occurred
a't n negro cnmpincetlng nnd tho origin,
ns npnr ns can be ascertained, was a
follows:
OrlKlu of the Illot.
Crecr Lott, a negro, wns running a re
freshment stnnd nnd n constable, a whlto
man. name not given, went to him nnd
naked for his license. He hnd nono nnd
becamo impudent, cursed tho constable
and defied him. Tho constable withdrew
and secured assistance. Ho returned with
several whlto men, when tho nesro rushed
out nnd fired point blank into the crowd

I'hIIIiik In rind Them, Attorney !
l'p n llreese by Ills Hefercnces
In .IiiiIkc Webster.
DENVER, Oct. 28. (Special Telegram.)
An attack, or an alleged attack, upon
Judgo Webster of Omaha brought on a
till between Attorneys Charles J. Hughes,
Jr., and Cnldwcll Yeaman In Judgo Tat
mer's court this morning. Tho original pa
pers In a caso which Involves some of tho
property of tho Denver Union Water com
pany nrc missing and it was Intimated, or
Mr. Yeaman thought so, by Mr. Hughes
that Judgo Webster ot Omaha knew whoro
they wero ami wns purposely keeping them
hidden In order to provent tho Denver
Union Water company from using them.
Judgo Webster Is well known In Denver,
whero he addressed tho Bar association
hero two yenrs ago, and Attornoy Yeaman
essayed to defend his character and repu
tation before Judgo Palmer.
Yeaman becamo much oxclled and said It
was not becoming an attorney In a Denver
court to ussull tho character ot Judge Web
ster and hint thnt ho hnd willfully and
mnllcloiisly withdrawn papers In tho caso
and was hiding them.
"I'm not hero to defend or assail Judge
Webster," said Attorney Hughes In reply,
"and tho fact thnt ho might have bcon a
member of tho supremo court or that ho
would bo nn honor to tho United States
senate docs not nffect tho fact that tho
original complaint In this case Is missing.
Of course It Is unfortunnto It accidental.
We havo sent a man to Omaha to look for
theso papers. They nro not on fllo with
tho clerk of the federal court nnd ho docs
not know whero they arc. Thero was only
ono man who had a copy of this complaint
nnd ho refused to permit Its Inspection un
less Judgo Webster ordered It."

AUBURN, N. Y., Oct. 2S.-Lcon F. Czol-
gosz will have paid tribute with his Ufa
to tho law ns tho murderer of President
William McKlnley by 7:15 o'clock tomorrow
morning and unless ho undergoes a great
hange of heart and strcugth In tho few
hours ot life left to him ho will go to thn
electric chair unconfessed and unrepentant.
Ha suffered n slight nervous ntlsck Into
today, but remained sullen and stolrnl up
to the tlmo tho prison closed nt 10 o'clock.
Ho refused to heed tho words of tho
priests who enmo to urge splrltunl prepara
tion for death and declined to cither re
embrace Roman Catholicism or renounce
anarchy. Henco unless ho changes his mind
thero will be no religious ceremony at tho
end.
Czolgosz showed no strength of love for
kin nor did he turn to nny of thoso higher
considerations which ordinarily claim tho
thoughts of men occupying his position. Hu
may, however, havo suffered mental tor
ture, but outwardly he seemed sullen and
Indifferent. Tho state Is not to surrender
possession ot his body and by sundown It
will have been secretly Interred In ground
controlled by tho officials of Auburn prison.
Waldeck Czolgosz, brother of tho mur
derer, foreseeing endless difficulties and
possibly nngry demonstrations ns tho result
of nn attempt to glvo tho body ordinary
burial, heeded tho advice of Superintend
ent ot State Prisons Collins nnd Warden
Mead and formally relinquished nil claim
to tt. Ho merely stipulated that at the
closo ot the autopsy all tho parts ot thn
body should bo burled. All chauco of an
unhappy and unfortunate sequel to the
execution, either in displays of popular
contempt or the exhibition of ghastly relics,
ts therefore finally proventcd.
Ilia Last Two Interview.
The plan of burning his clothing and pa
pers will be carried out Immediately after
the execution. The electrical machine It
ready for its work; Auburn prison ts care
fully guarded: the city Is In Its normal
cairn, and there .seem . toj.-bY.ioo clrr.unv.-i
stances standing in tne way or tne suc
cessful and expeditious execution of tho
law.
Czolgosz held his last two Interviews to
night, the first with Superintendent Collins
and the last with his brother and brother-in-law.
Both Interviews were brief and tho
Interviewers did most ot the talking until
tho question ot religion was mentioned,
when Czolgosz broke from his seeming
lethargy and violently denounced thu
church and tho clergy and made his rela
tives promlso that there should be no serv
ices for him, living or dead.
Frlor to tho lato evening Intervlows Czol-
golz reluctantly received Fathors Fudzlnskl
and Hlckey. It was lato In the afternoon
nnd occurred after ho had once refused to
meet them. When they reached tho prison
Superintendent Collins conveyed the re
quest for an Interview to thn prisoner. Czol
gosz sent back word that he did not
earn to see them, but the priests asked
again to boo him, despite his refusal. Su
perintendent Collins consented and per
sonally escorted them to tho cell.
Declines til Itcpciit.
The priests remained with Czolgosz
three-quarters of an hour nnd earnestly
pleaded with tho prisoner to repent and
pray for dtvino forgiveness. He rejected
all their advances, however, and they re
gretfully withdrew. They told the prisoner
that they would hold themselves ready to
answer a call for him at any hour of the
night.
It was 7 o'clock when Superintendent
Collins wont Into the death houso and tried
to get tho prisoner to talk to him. Although
ho remained In tho coll somo tlmo he was
apparently not successful In gottlng any
thing material frnm him. At 8 o'clock Iho
brother and brother-in-law arrived and Su
perintendent Collins took them down to the
condemned man's cell. Thero was no dem
onstration when they met. Czolgosz mere
ly stepped to the front of his steel cago,
and enid: "Hello."
Tho brother ventured tho remark: "I
wish you would tell us, Leon, who got you
Into this scrape." Tho assassin an
swered In a slow, hesitating manner: "No
one. Nobody had anything to do with It
but me."
"That Is not how you wero brought up,"
said the brother, "nnd you ought to tell us
overythlng now."
"I haven't got anything to tell," ho an
swered In a eurly manner.
t'nrses the Priests,
"Do ynu want to sen tho prtcstH again?"
asked his hrothcr, nnd ho nnswered with
more vehemenro than ho had previously
shown, "No," with a curse, "dnn't sond
them hero again, I don't want them."
Tho brotnrr-ln-law Intorjected bora:
"That's right, Leon." Tho brother looked
rather disturbed by tho answer. Then
Btcpptng up closo to thn bars the con
demned man said: "And don't you have
any praying over mo when I'm dead. I
don't want It. I don't want any of their
religion."
Thoro was a painful pause of n few min
utes and then the relatives resumed casual
conversation with him, to which he replied
In monosyllables, until tho brother-in-law
suggested, much to Superintendent Collins'
surprise, that hn nnd the brother be per
mitted to witness tho exejution. Beforo
the superintendent could roply Leon said:
"Yes, Mr. Superintendent, let them seo
me killed."
Superintendent Collins told the trio In
emphatic terms that no nich thing could ho
allowed and ordered them to say goodby,
Czolgosz walked to tho back of his coll,
em down on tho edge of his cot and did not
answer tho last farewell. When tho rela
tives reached the warden's officii they again
renewed their request to seo tho execution,
to which Mr. Collins replied emphatically,
"No. Czolgosz will he killed nt 7 o'clock
nnd if you apply to the warden In the aft
ernoon you may be able to seo th boujr,"
