Liberal Party Sympathizer Dis cusses His Countrymen. NOT EAGEE FOR REVOLUTIONS. Senor Perem Says Chief Done of Con tention Between the Two Parties For Many Years Has Been the Question of Embracing Advancing Civilization. "It is unfortunate that the people of the United States do not better under stand the South Americans," said Scnor Perez, an- active sympathizer with the Liberal party in the republic of Colombia, the other day to a re porter of the New York Tribune. "You think that we are anxious to fight, to engage iu. constant revolutions. This is not so. Ve simply struggle against the Clerical party to obtain freedom of thought and action. We should rather tlie than endure physical and moral slavery. Colombia Is a large and rich country. It consists of nine states, and is more than double the size of Spain and Portugal. On the Atlantic ocean it has a coast line of over 1,000 miles. The national government Is re publican, the main basis of the con stitution being a scheme drawn up In 1SG3 after the model of the United States of America. The executive power is exercised by the president and tour ministers or secretaries. In 1S11 the war of independence began, and a struggle was begun with Spain which lasted until 1S27. In 1S19 Bolivar ef fected a union between Ecuador, Vene zuela and Colombia, but this federation lasted only 11 years. It was in 1S27 that the two parties which now exist had their origin. We first believed in the Spanish method of government, or, rather, in the despotic power of the church. This party, the Conservatives, was composed chiefly of the Jesuits, but was supported by priests of all de nominations. The other party was tbe Liberal organization. These men be lieved in free institutions, progress In every respect railroads, telegraphs, free and compulsory education, and so on." "Whether or not Colombia should em brace advancing civilization," he con tinued, " has been the principal bone of contention between the two parties for the last o years, not only in Colombia, but In Ecuador, Venezuela, Teru, 15o livia and elsewhere in South America. In the Argentine Republic and In Mex ico the clerical element has been over come sufficiently to admit of enlight ened advancement in those countries, but in Colombia and Venezuela the Clericals resist the establishment of free institutions. They know that if education becomes general the people will not pay their tithes and contribu tions to the church. They want the masses to be kept in an ignorant state in order that they may exploit them. We simply cannot endure their tyran ny, and so we fight. We have hoped for a better state of things, but we have been forced to resort to arms to protect our lives and property. "There is a no more peaceful people in the world than the Colombians, but we are now desperate and would rather die than submit to the caprices and cruelties of the Clericals. The Venezu elans are not naturally so peaceful as the Colombians. Twenty years ago the Liberals, who had been in power for 24 years, lost control of the government. This would never have happened but for the treachery of our president, who sold himself to the Conservatives, or Clericals, iu order to make sure his own succession. He pledged himself to look after their interests if they would sup ply him with arms and ammunition with which to kill his former adher ents. "The head of the Conservatives is the pope. We have no regular leader, be cause our best men are constantly be ing killed la battle. Our old leader was General Vargas Santos, who Is now 82 years old, and so infirm that he can no longer take to the field. Gen eral Uribe-Uiibe is now commander in chief of our armies. He has fought steadily at the head of our troops since the present revolution began two years ago. Last April he issued a peace manifesto, when the fighting ceased temporarily. We asked at that time that the Liberals simply be allowed to exist, but the Clericals continued to shoot and imprison our leaders and sympathizers. Because of this tyranny we were forced to continue our fight ing. "I do not know the present strength of the Conservative or government army. I should say it numbers about 43,000 men. In order to fully under stand the recent operations it is neces sary to know that there is a Liberal party in Ecuador, Venezuela and Co lombia and an opposing Conservative or Clerical party in the same coun tries. This is natural, because 75 years ago the three countries were one. Thus the Liberal party of one country helps its sympathizers in another. So it is with the Conservatives. When the large number of Clericals, or govern ment sympathizers, entered Venezuela on July 2S, they were attacked and completely routed by the combined Venezuelan a net" Colombian Liberal armies, who had concentrated their forces in a bonier state in Venezuela. Of course Geueral Uribe-Uribe had a share in the victory over the Clericals, although he was not present at tlie bat tle. This conflict ends the revolution iu Venezuela." Expensive Canal. To finish the Panama canal a tunnel 4 miles long. 100 feet wide and 100 feet high will be necessary.

The passion for gambling in the lot teries which exists among all Latins prevails among the Cubans. Under the old Spanish regime every one, rich and poor alike, patronized the lottery, which had the government's sanction. When the Americans came, of course the lotteries were knocked out by mili tary order, and for a time there was much sorrow among those whose prin cipal pleasure in life was dreaming of winning a capital prize. Then a new form of gambling was devised, says the Xew York Sun. Ever since Colonel Bliss took hold of the Havana custom house he has made It a practice to print daily the receipts from imports. It was one of his ways of showing the Cubans how to check corruption. He took the public into his confidence so that they might know exactly how much money the principal port on the island was raising for the government's expenses. The newspapers got into the habit of printing the figures daily, and a great many people read them as an index to the commercial growth of the island. By and by it was noticed that the re ceipts were being printed iu quite large type by the little afternoon sheets, which never have any news In them and very rarely an idea. It was also noticed that a lot of persons liought these papers, turned to the page on which were printed the customs re ceipts and then with ejaculations of sorrow or joy cast the paper aside. An investigation showed that the re ceipts were being used for lottery pur poses. It was found that tickets were being sold all over the city and that the newspapers were adding largely tc their circulation by catering to the craze. Colonel Bliss reputation for honesty in Havana is such that every one Is sure that there can be no tam pering with the daily totals. And so, after all, the Ilavauese have a lottery with government drawings daily. The government has been very anx ious to find out who is back of tlie in genious scheme which makes it an ac complice in the crime in spite of itself, but it has as yet been unable to do so. Some of the more reputable papers of the city have printed long stories about the scheme, explaining its workings and demanding that steps be taken tc stop the evil, but so far nothing has been accomplished. The daily totals from the custom house are still being printed, and the little sheets called by courtesy newspapers are still selling for 5 cents a copy, and the gamblers behind the scheme are still coil, in? money, while the poor of Ilavaua are losing their pesetas with great regu larity. MAPS BASED ON CENSUS. IUnMtrptions to Make Tnl.len of Flf urea tnderalandalile. One of the most interesting as well as instructive volumes to be issued by the census office at Washington will be a statistical atlas. This atlas will be somewhat similar to the atlas issued ten years ago, but it will have more illustrations and diagrams. It will be a concise and illustrated resume of the entire work of the cen sus, says the New York World. The tables of statistics issued by the census otlice are to a layman but a mass of unintelligible figures. Any one who is not a statistician Is unable to readily decipher them. With the statistics compiled in the atlas it is different. All the tables are illustrated. The density of population can be seen by glancing at the popula tion map, the varying shades of tlie map showing the density. One can find out just as easily other data col lected by the census officers. Diagrams show the number of cattle in every state, the most valuable American product, which was lumber ten years ago; where the largest foreign popula tion exists, and the religious statistics of the various states. The atlas will not be issued until about ten months after the twelfth census is completed, as it will give all the special statistics. This instructive book will be distributed the same as the bulletins of the census olfice. MENDING EIGHT SOCKS, $7. Owner Had It Done In Germany and Didn't Figure on Doty. A German resident of Chicago whose name has not been made public recent ly returned from Germany, bringing with him six pairs of socks which his old mother hail made for him. To es cape payment of duty on them he wore them all when he landed. In the course of time they began to wear out at the toes. Then he bundled four pairs into a package and sent them to Germany for his mother to mend, says the New York World. They were returned by parcel post, and the custom house officials at New York opened the package and assessed duty on them. The owner protested against the charges, but paid the duty pending a hearing of his protest As it stands he is out ?7 by the transaction. A Knpid Antomoblle. A new automobile has just been fin ished in the United States, and the maker claims much for the machine. The automobile, according to the New York Tribune, is of the gasoline sort, of 23 horsepower, and the manufac turer says that he will be able to drive it over smooth or macadamized roads at the rate of about 43 miles an hour. The machine will be given a practical test in a few days, and If a suitable etretcn of road can be found he Is con fident that the trial will be more than successful. The automobile Is built upon the lines of most of the speed "autos" already brought to the United States from France and Germany. The machine will seat three passengers be sides the driver.

TRAGEDY ENACTED NEAR A CREEK Bleiubcrs of the oted Family Were All Massacred by a Posse Led by an Old Bnftalo Hunter Bodies and Wilton Burned Scene at Bender Itoadhouae. E. T. Pierce, more familiarly known as "Doc" Pierce, one or the oldest and most reliable Indian scouts of the Black II ills, has given out a story about the Bender family of Kansas, which goes to show that there is no further need of the authorities searching foe the remains of the family, says a dis patch from Dcadwood to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Pierce is a reliable man, and for the first time he tells what he knows of the case. He had a friend in the seventies who was also well known in the Black Hills, and be fore tlie friend died he related to Pierce the incidents relative to the kill ing of all of the members of the Ben der family. When the York family was killed and the tragedy was traced to the home of the Benders, Pierce's friend was among those from the city of Cherryvale who went out to investi gate tlie conditions of things at the Bender roadhouse. There were 24 men in the party, one of the men being an old buffalo hunter. They found the house deserted, and in searching the Louse the bedstead In the west room, about which so much has been said, vas found to be full of bullet holes, and dried blood was cm the mattress. They found the trapdoor behind a cur tain, which led into the cellar, into which the dead bodies had been thrown until dark, when they were taken out into the garden and buried. The searching party next went out into the garden and commenced look ing for the spot where the bodies had been buried. A wagon rod was used to probe the ground for a soft place, and finally a spot was found that was soft. After digging down a short ways the body of one of the York children was found, and the contortions of the face and body made it look as though the child had been buried alive. Fif teen bodies were found by the party In the garden, including the Texas cat tleman, who was supposed to have been shot in the west room. Tlie old buffalo man had been look ing around for the trail of the family, which had made its escape. The trail of an old rickety wagon was found, and the buffalo hunter followed it up alt day, and about nightfall came upon the family camped near a creek. The scout returned to the party of Cherryvale men and reported his find. They agreed up n going back with the scout and ex terminating the whole family. The posse was divided into three parts and the Bender family was surrounded. One of the posse accidentally discharg es;! his rifle liefore the proper time, which gave the warning of danger tc the Bender people. They Immediately prepared for defense. The buffalo hunter fired at long range at old man Bender and hit him In the back, killing him. Another volley from the posse, and John and his mother fell dead. Kate was the last one to be shot. The posse then went to the scene and piled the four dead bodies in a heap and burned them, adding to the fire the wagon, harness and the camp outfit Everything that would not burn was taken to the creek bank and covered over with dirt This is the story that "Doc" Tierce tells for the first time since his friend confided the facts to him 20 years ago. The story that Kate Bender came to the Black Hills several years ago and made her residence in Deadwood is not credited there. A woman did come to Deadwood about 15 years ago that had some resemblance to the famous Kate, so some of the old timers say, but It is not believed that it was she. ST. FAUL'S SHAKING. Attributed to Vibrations Cansed by Subway Trains. Somers Clarke, the architect in charge of St. Paul's cathedral, recently wrote to the Loudon Times as follows: "The immense weight resting upon the eight piers upholding the dome has caused the foundations under the dome to settle more than elsewhere. The set tlement thti3 caused has broken the eight arches and the windows over them in the nave of the choir and the north and south transepts. "The very great weight of the west ern towers has caused them to sink, and in sinking they have cracked the west front vertically through the great door, the window above and the vault ed ceiling of the portico. They have also cracked the wall of the chapel to the cast." Mr. Clarke expresses the opinion that the two underground railways and the large sewers have affected the founda tions, lie lays particular stress upon the vibrations resulting from the pass ing trains. Death Dealing Mosqaltoes. An unusual mosquito plague is re ported io many sections of eastern Car olina, according to a dispatch from Ra leigh to the Richmond Times. It is reliably stated that an unknown minis ter while traveling with a small child through Hyde county was obliged to tie up ti e child in a large paper sack to prevent the mosquitoes from liter ally devouring the child alive, and the minister was himself nearly overcome when be reached Fairfield and in a large measure escaped the onslaughts of the ravenous insects. The first export of cotton from this country was in 17S3. in which year one bag was sent from Charleston to Liver pool, while 12 were sent from Philadel phia and one from New York. "Mybabv was terribly sick with the diarrhoea," says J. H. Doak, of Wil liams, Oregon. "We were unable to cure him with the doctor's assistance, ami as a last resort we tried Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I.am happy to say it gave im mediate relief and a complete cure.'' For sale by M. E. Robinson & Bro., J. F Miller's Drug Store, Goldsboro, J. 11. Smith. Mt. Olive. She Has Taken Possession of the Lorlllard Farm at Jobstown. The fate of Rancocas Is shrouded in as much mystery as ever, says the New Y'ork Journal. Whether Mrs. Lillian Barnes Allien, who Is now in posses sion, will continue at the helm or not is unknown. She has posted pickets and sentinels at every gateway and no one is allowed inside the grounds. She sees no one, and has issued orders that no person be allowed to enter the sa cred precincts of the famous stud farm. Dr. It. W. Carter, who has managed Rancocas for several years, has charge of the outposts, which are re-enforced by several vicious looking dogs. Speak ing for Mrs. Allien, he said: "No one knows what Mrs. Allien in tends to do with Rancocas. I do not, and I doubt if she has as yet given the question serious thought She re mains in strict seclusion. It Is her wish to have quiet and rest, and the orders she has issued to that effect will be faithfully carried out by the employees of this place." The natives of Jobstown have not yet got over their surprise at Mrs. AWen's sudden occupation of Ranco cas. They had hoped that Tierre Loril lard, Jr., would have succeeded his father as tlie master of the place. They want to see the social prestige of the place revived and are never tired of talking of the days when Mrs. Pierre Lorillard was the hostess. Since Mrs. Lorillard left Rancocas and Mrs. Allien was Installed as its mistress the place has been dead so cially. The drives near and around it have been deserted. It looks as if it has been unoccupied for years. The fences need renewing, and even the boards cautioning trespassers are faded and almost Illegible. It will cost a for tune to restore the place to its former condition and will take a large income to keep It up when it is in repair. LIBERTY BELL IN TEXAS. Elaborate Programme Arraaged For Its Tour Through the State A great occasion is to be made of the tour of the Liberty bell through Texas, says a Houston dispatch to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat While the pro gramme has not yet been decided on in detail, the outlines have been sketched by Mayor RIggins of Waco and Editor Crisp of Cuero, who are responsible for the bringing of the ancient relic to the staie. The train bearing the bell will lie met at the border of the state by Governor Sayers or his personal repre sentative probably in person. The Texas flag will be placed on the engine intwlned with the stars and stripes and a duplicate of the original flag with only 13 stars. An itinerary will be ar rat ged so that the citizens of the state may inspect the relic of Revolutionary days by night as well as by day, and in this way considerable time can 1h? saved. Much ceremony will be ob served, and the story of the old bell will le furnished in advance to the press of the towns ou the route, so that lu.ne may le ignorant of its history. This will not be the first trip of the bell to the south. It was taken to the exposition at New Orleans in isisl, and a most touching incident occurred at Reauvoir, the home of Jefferson Davis. Tlie train was side tracked there, and tlie chieftain of the fallen Confedera cy visited it. leading his little grand daughter. He stood for a moment re garding It, and then, turning to the as sembled people, he poured forth a most fervid address, filled with hope for the future of the reunited country. Then he lifted the little girl tip, that she might kiss the old bell, a sight of which hal so stirred him. WILLARD STATUE SKETCH. Miss Mean' Conception Is Lifelike and Fall of Vigor. The sketch with which Miss Nellie Mears of Oshkosh, Wis., has won the honor of making the Willard statue is the result of nearly a year of labor, says the Chicago Record-Herald. It is small, being only 10 inches high, the total height, including the base, being only two feet. It Is remarkably per fect In detail for so small a figure and gave the committee such a clear idea of what the finished marble model would be that Miss Mears was Instruct ed to point up her final work from the sketch. The sketch represents Miss Willard in oue of her famous attitudes. She is standing perfectly upright in a nat ural and graceful position. One arm is slightly extended, and the hand rests upon a reading table or ecclesiastical stand, while the other arm is at the side, with a roll of manuscript in the hand. The head Is thrown back slight ly, as if Miss Willard was about to survey an audience. The face has a spiritual look, and the mouth reveals a smile half sad, half pleasant So truthfully did the sculptor portray the combination of vigor and strength and spiritual shading In the face that many of the intimate friends of the late Miss Willard have wept upon gazing on the sketch. Although Miss Mears never saw Miss Willard, her work being done entirely from photographs and personal de scriptions of friends, it is said that her production is more nearly like the great advocate of temperance than any of the latter's photographs. Handsome Pay For a Cricketer. The annual cricket match between Yorkshire and I.ancashire which has just been completed at London lasted three days and attracted a daily crowd of over 10.000. According to custom, J. Brown, the Yorkshire professional, got the proceeds for good service. He received 4,000 ($20,000), which breaks the record, says the New" York Sun. The normal pay of a professional crick eter Is inder 5 ($25) a week during the seasoa Nature's Crowning Work. As for the woman, she found the chief wonders of creation not in the culminating vertebrate, but in the low est orders of life. "The Jellyfish, for Instance!" exclaim ed the woman. "How was it ever got to jell so beautifully V" Now, the others thought they could understand her awe, although none of them, as It transpired, had ever put up any preserves. Detroit Journal.

HIGH REVELING OF SHAPELY FEET Physicians In Chicago Express Their Views on the Innovation Most of Them Consider It Thoroughly In Accord With Health One Has Grave Doubts, However. If one's toes are pink and shapely and the curves of one's foot are grace ful and alluring, it is no offense against modesty, hygiene or the artistic pro prieties to appear in public sans shoes and sans stockings, as society women are doing in England, according to a recent cable dispatch. At least many of the good doctors of Chicago say it isn't, and they are as well qualified to pass judgment on a question of pedal ethics as any set of men and women iu the universe, says the Chicago Post Almost to a unit, chiropodists included, they stand for the sandal for women provided always that the innovation is confined to those feet which, uudisfigured by unsightly appurtenances, are things of beauty and joys forever. Through the restless waters of the broad Atlantic there hurried this pant ing piece of news: London, Aug. 3. The latest seaside fad is the wearing of sandals by grown persons. Uany girls c-em to be especially taken with the new idea. The sandals are generally worn without stockings. The craze has spread even to London, where well dressed women can be seen sandaled in the park. With the receipt in America of this Interesting Intelligence three questions thrust themselves forward demanding to be answered. First, would the ex posure attendant upon the adoption of the custom be physically injurious: Second, would the frank exploitation of the pedal extremities in a state of semiuudity be a breach of the rules and regulations hedging modesty in dress? Third, is the undraped human foot, taken as a general thing, suffi ciently pulchritudinous to be classified with the objects pleasing to the eye? To some of these queries, uot all of them, the physicians of Chicago has tened to reply. Quoth Dr. E. Fletcher Ingals: "My sanction of a custom like that of sandal wearing for women depends greatly upon the women. If they have good looking feet the sandal habit meets my approval. If their feet are not good looking, I should frown upon the inno vation, and do my best to stifle it iu its iLcipiency." Dr. C. Pruyn Stringfield also quali fied his commendation, by the proviso tLat there must be contours and warm tinted cuticle visible lctweeii the san dal straps. "Provided the sandals made the firoper sort of disclosures I have no ob jection to the abandonment of boots and stockings by women in temperate climates," he said. "In fact 1 think it is a good thing. We should be much healthier and better if we came into closer contact with Mother Earth. Sel dom do we of the cities touch the black soil, and then only with shoes on. When I was in geueral practice, I com pared the healthy brown boys playing in bare feet over In the open territory west of State street with the thin, hot house little chaps in the fashionable districts farther east, and I attribute the difference to tlie hare feet. I be lieve we should be better without shoes." Dr. Sarah Hackett Stevenson, whose knowledge of the feminine foot is, for obvious reasons, more perfect, not to pay more extensive, than that of her brother physicians, sanctions the san dal for women In a manner definite and unqualified. She scorns the skepticism concerning the physical beauty of the toes of her sex and says this: "Of course the sandal for women Is an institution to be co.nmended. Can you Imagine anything pleasanter than to doff shoes and stockings on a hot day to go walWng over a grass carpet ed lawn with nothing on jour feet save sandals? Of course yon can't Shoes and stockings cause a great deal of HI health, I think." Possibly it is the openwork hosiery fad that has led Dr. Sanger Brown tc have grave doubts concerning the pink possibilities of the female foot At any rate he side stepped ail propositions ex cept that of health and condemned the sandal craze as hygieuieally unwise. "I don't want to discuss anything but the health question," said he. "and about that 1 will say that 1 think soci ety women who expose tl?m.selv?s by wearing sandals are exceedingly un wise. In a climate like that of London persons in good health who are out ol doors a great deal might divest them selves of shoes and stockings wftbout harmful consequences, but for society women the practice is dangerous." Dr. Ellen Hancock Lyon likens the sandal to the short skirt and asserts that when sanctioned by custom it will be considered not a whit more immod est Besides this. Dr. Lyon has great faith in the health producing qualities of the bare foot and also of its power to please when revealed through the openwork of a sandaL "The custom should be encouraged," Dr. Lyon said, "because it means better health. Shoes and stockings cause a great deal of the nervous troubles and poor circulation common among women today. We are trying it among chil dren with extraordinary success, and I have three healthy boys to prove what the barefoot habit can do. "So far as the moral aspect 13 con cerned, it is only a matter of custom. At first overdecorated and conspicuous sandals might make them offensive, but In time that would be overcome. My commendation of the sandal Is unqual ified." Ex-Premier Francesco Crispi died at Naples, Italy, Sunday night.

Scott's emulsion of cod-liver oil is a food that begins to build you up at once of course, it don't show at once. "Not doing well' means that the child is not getting the good of his food. Not today, or this week; it may have been going on for a month; before it begins to show in the child's condition. You want him to get back to turning his usual food into strength. You want the food that begins to build up at once. ANDREE AND HIS COMRADES Over Foir Years Since They Disap peared la tbe Xortnera Sky. There is no longer any hope of Andrew's return, says the Chicago Rec ord-Herald's correspondent, writing from Tromso, Norway, under the date of July 11. Scientific men In this coun try and experienced ice pilots and whalers all agree that he could not have survived three months. They place no faith in any of the messages and signs alleged to have come from him. It was just four years ago this very day, July 11, ISO", one clear after noon, when the wind was iu the right quarter, that Andree summoned his companions without ceremony, cut the ropes that detained his aerial carriages and soared away into the arctic sky. Whatever may be thought about the prudence and scientific practicability of a voyage to the north pole in a bal loon, there was never so sublime an ex hibition of human daring, indiffer ence to danger and death, as that given by the young Swede and his de voted companions, Fracnkcl and Strindberg. Having convinced himself and them that there is a steady cur rent of air, like the trade winds of the tropics, from the boundaries of the arctic circle to the pole, they staked their lives on their faith, built a bal loon and attempted to make the voy age. It must have been a remarkable scene when they departed. Andree had waited for favorable weather nearly two weeks after his arrangements were complete and was becoming very im patient when, as he came from dinner on the afternoon of the 11th of July, he noticed with gratification that all the conditions were favorable. He tastily called his assistants, who made rapid preparations for departure. Within half an hour everything was ready. Andree shook hands with all the bystanders In a most solemn man ner, thanked them In a few hearty words for their interest and assist ance, stepped coolly Into his car, called Fraenkel and Strindberg, who were saying goodby to their friends, and cut the ropes with his own hands. As tlie last cord was severed and the balloon rose heavenward, he leaned over the edge of the car and shouted: "Greetings at home to Sweden." The three aeronauts waved their caps until they disappeared Into an un known world where the north wind comes from. The scaffolding built for Andree's balloon and the nabins he used for his workshops still stand on the edge of the fiord, awaiting the disposition of their absent owner, a melancholy re minder which appeals to the sentiment of the Norwegians, who will allow them alwavs to stand as a monument to Andree, Fraenkel and Strindberg ROOM FOR SCHLEY COURT. Natal Officials Searching For One Large Enough. The feeling is general at Washington that Secretary Long's reception roots, designated in the precept as the place of meeting for the Schley court of in quiry, will prove too small to accommo date all who not unreasonably desire to attend, says the New York Tost It is convenient to the records and other official papers which the court might have occasion to consult, but that is practically Its only advantage. and in anticipation that the court after its first meeting may wish more com niodious quarters a search is already in progress for other available space. There is a courtroom at the navy yard. but that is nearly three miles from tbe department, and would necessitate a long trip every day for the witnesses and every one else from the hotel end of the town. The department library has been suggested, but here the gal lery in which H is proposed to perch the press is too far from the floor to admit of easily hearing what is going on in the court pioper. The old Cor coran Art gallery was used by the International Postal congress, but this is the headquarters of the court of claims, and it is feared that the ses sions of the Schley tribunal may over lap the date of the return of the court after recess and thus impeda other public business. There is no doubt that whatever room Is procured will be crowded. The line of inquiry taken by the court will probably be far above the heads of most ordinary sieetators. but the demand for standing room will not be abated by that consideration as long as there are epaulets and gold but tons to see.
