,WAHHIS'TON. Nov. 7. After sittings
covering forty dajs and with a record
which when completed, will ioer about
L',000 pngeB. the Schley court of Inquiry
today at 3 45 p. ni. udjourncd Its last pub
i session. To Captain 8. C. t.cmly. tho
Judge advocate, had breti assigned tho duty
of making the dosing argument In the
case arid soon after he had completed bin
pccrh Admiral Dewey. bringing his gavel
down upon the hit; flat table, said;
"There being no further business tho
court Is adjourned."
As was the case yesterday, when Mr.
Jlayner spoke, Iho attendance was large.
There was only one session during the dny.
Jt began nt o'tlocl; and the entire tlmo
kub devoted to Captain Lcmly's address.
Jle read his speech In clear and distinct
tones and wnti Riven careful attention. Tho
hpoechMn the main was nn analysts of tho
testimony, but occasionally n conclusion
was drawn and frequently there were criti
cisms of tho course pursued by Admiral
(then Commodore) Schley. Speaking of
Commodore Sc"hley's conduct Captain Lenity
raid .
"From my knowledge of the man, liavlng
nerved under his command on two crulhers,
J have never ballovcd, nor do T claim from
tho evidence, that pcrtonul misconduct
or, to call a spade a spade, cowardice
was exhibited by Commodoro Schley In any
part of his career ns comuiander-ln-chlcf
of the flying squadron. Hut ! submit, with
regret, that In the passage from Key West
to Clenfuegos; whllo at the latter port;
enrouto to the southward of Santiago with
out settled destination; In the retrograde
movement; In tho return to tho vicinity of
Hantlago and In the affair of May 31, the
commodore exhibited unsteadiness In pur
pose and failure to obey orders."
Ovntliui for Nclilej
This statement was made. toward the closo
of Captain Lcmly'H remarks. After ad
journment the members of tho court, Ad
miral Schley and counsel lingered for u
time about (he haU In which they recently
have, spent bo niu6h of their tlmo und there
were ninny nffectlonato words of farewell
spoken. Admiral Schley, as usual, was
called upon to receive the greetings of a
number of admirers and a hundred or more
people waited at tho door of the building
to hid him adieu.
Captain Lonily used no formality In be
ginning his ndclrcss whoti tho court con
vened, but, rising quietly from his went
opposite the tribunal, began to read. Ho
H.ild his plan contomplnted, first, a re
sponse to criticisms of Admiral Schley's
counsel, nnd then a presentation of thu
Mibjcct In hand on an Independent basis.
Jle requested to'he corrected If he should
' mako nny errors of fact.

Captain Ieraly said: "With the conclu
sion of the brief address with which I shall
closo tho argument in this Inquiry ray prin
cipal connection with It ceases nnd the
matter Is left In the court's hands. 1 may
arid that whllo my duties hero have been
nrdunus nnd necessarily somewhat painful
I am proud to havo bocn associated with
, this distinguished court, which Is to pass
upon the most Important question ever con
sidered y a naval court a question, ns I
defined It In tho early course of the
proceedings, between the applicant and the
morale of the service In enterlug upon
my duties as Judge advocate of tho court I
had in inlnd advlco given ran by the secre
tary of tho navy soon after my appoint
ment, as follows: 'Admiral Schley asks for
n court of Inquiry. A perfectly Impartial
court is constituted. Tho Judge advocate
and any counsel assisting him are not (nnd
their duty in this respect Is plain) In court
to prosecute anybody or to find anybody
guilty, but to bring out the facts nnil aid
thn court in declaring the truth.'

Referring to tho McColla signals, ho said
it was clear that Marblohcad had not ar
rived at Key West when tho dying squadron
nlled, and therefore that these signals
rould not have been communicated to Com
modore Schley there. "There Is little
riouht, however," he added, "that if tho
commodore had, upon meeting Marblohend,
directed Commander McCdlla to report on
board tho flagship, ho would have been
fully Informed ns to tho signals, notwith
standing the commander's declared purpose
to preserve them with ns much secrecy as
practicable for tho protection of the Insur
gents therasolves. Hut Independently of any
olgnals, was It not Incumbent upou thn
commodoro himself to mako Inquiries, was
he Justltled In this, as in other in utters luter
lu Santiago, in relying upon the efforts of
others?
"Tho fact further Is clear," he said, ''that
the applicant did receive a copy of the
MrCnlla memorandum at Clenfuegos ut least
by 8:15 o'clock nn tho morning of May 23,
nnd although by reason of Commander Mo
Calla's caution tho signals, which ho did
not wish to placo In writing, wero not cm
bodied In this memorandum, such full Infor
mation was contained therein as showed
that the Insurgent In tho vicinity of Clen
fuegos were accessible to communication
nnd that they had perfect knnwlcrigo of
what was going on within the city."
lie nlso t-ald that the evidence Is full ns
to the condition of the weather Bnd sea off
Clenfuegos, and that the log books of the

done. Ills personal physician, Dr. Watt,
then took charge. The controversy between

on his trip around the world and he brought
It from Canton when he came to Pekln
to settle the "Hoxer" troubles. Since thut
tlmo It had been kept In a temple here.
The body will be placed In the coffin to

Nebraska Is getting back to Its oldtlmo
majorities, both In slzo nnd its habit of
going republican. To the glory of carrying
It for McKlnley, electing a governor and
slate officers nnd n legislature of their
polltlcul faith Inst year tho republicans of
this state havo ndded another victory in the
election of S. II. Sedgwick ns supremo
Judge mid Calkins and Krust ns regents
of tho State university. Tho signs of dis
integration of tho fusion forces, apparent
hist yenr, are more pronounced this fall
and the verdict of Tuesday tells tho story
that tho days of fusion rule are over for
good.
From tho time tho first returns were re
ceived It wus nppiircut what tho result was,
but ns county after county reported It be
came evident that tho size of the victory
hud bocn underestimated from the tlrst re
turns. Tho "Inst counties," which fusion
Ists had always depended upon to pull them
out of tho hole, have only served to add
to the rcpubllcnn majority. With complete
returns from clghty-ouo of the ninety
counties In the state the plurality of Sedg
wick Is 12,633.
The elcen counties from which no re
turns have been received last year polled
u total of 11,178 votes and out of this Poyn
tcr. fits., had n plurality of "tin. Tho
gains which Sedgwick has made In prac
tically every county In the state, If followed
out In theso counties, will easily wipe out
the plurality of Poyntcr last year and possi
bly add something to tho plurality of Sedg
wick lu tho eighty-one counties Included
In tho table. It Is an assured fact that his
plurality will bo lu tho neighborhood of
12,000 or 13,000.
On tho regents the returns aro not so
complete, but tho pluralities of tho repub
lican candidates will bo fully ns large, If
uot larger, than on the head of tho ticket.

There nre two walls parti completed and
the remainder of the Rlto nf the building

ringleaders of tho mutiny, under pretense
'of n necessity walked to tho coiner of tho
stockade, where the revolvers wero con
cealed, and under cover of some words,
secured them without being detected. He
returned to the gnng and passed one of the
revolvers to Frank Williams, a negro, who
secreted It about his person.
When T. B. Hinds, btiperlntendeut of
canfctructlnii, and three unarmed guard"

twice, but not dangcrnunly wounded.
Defeated In thqlf attempt to escape nt

the arms nre kept. Tho guatds from the
outside rushed In at this point and drove
tho men back from the guardhouse. J. P.
Waldrupho. a guard, shot and killed Ford
Qulnn, from Ryan, I. T.
Tho prisoners then made a grand rush
for the main cntrunce nnd tvicnty-slx of
them succeeded in escaping. Most of the
escaped men are from Indian Tcrrltoiy.
Closely followed by the suards the men
ran to n nearby forest and succeeded lu
evading their pursders.

tion, to go with them, nnd he was not al
lowed to return until they had gone almost
two miles. W. F. Peatlee, ono of the fugi
tives who has only fifteen mnnthti more to
i-erve, deserted the band few moments
after Superintendent Hinds was tclcascd.
The two men reached here at almost hi
same time. They reported that tho fugi
tives, after holding a consultation, decided
that they would form themselves Into sev
eral email parties, so that some might es
cape though others should bo raptured. It
Is the Intention of all tn attempt to reach
the rough country southeast of horc.
Twenty-four members of the Fourth cav
nlry hastened tn tho scene of thn trouble,
but when they arrived tho convlctH had
escaped and the soldlcrx could tint partici
pate In tho chase without orders from their
superiors.
Forty armed guards from the federal
prison aro in pursuit of the fugitives.
Tho wounded men aro in tho prlfon hos
pital. J. P. Waldrupho was shot In tho head

main entrance of tho stockade.
Ono of the fugitives, named Otter, was
shot, but ho was able to go with the oth
ers and the extent of his Injuries Is un
known. The course thai tho foglllvoK havo taken
Is indicated by thn loralltle In which they
havo committed depredations. Many of
