CASE WELL- IN HAND
Captain Lemly Discusses the
EvidenceWith Witnesses
Sampson 4"Not Expected to
Be Present at the Hearing
Washington, Sept., 3 Bight days, re
main before the court of inquiry con
venes at the Washington navy yaTd to
hear evidence and pass judgment upon
Hear AdmrraJ Schley's conduct during
the Santiago campaign.
The admiral's attorneys have practi
cally concluded the preparation of the
case for their client and are prepared for
the opening of the CGurt. They have i
t
carefully . gone . over all
tho nviilable
official records and "papers in the case,
ar. well as the whole subject, with Ad
mrraJ Schley. Since Judge Wilson re
turned to Washington he has devoted
the greater part of his time to the Schley
matter, and he is now thoroughly famil
iar with every phase and detail of tho
case.
Captain Lemly, the jrfdge advocate of
the court, owing to' his absence from
Washington for several weeks after the
precept war drawn up, has not com
pletely prepared the case for - presenta
tion, but he has it well in hand and will
be ready when the court meets. For
several days past he has been holding
conferences with witnesses who are to
appear upon the stand.- Last week Lieu
tenant Harlow, who wrote "The Log of
the Vixen, about which much has ben
Paid, was at the- department ami 'con
ferred with the judge advocate. Lieu
tenant' Harlow was upon the list of wit-!
nesses prepared by both Admiral Schley

pnd the-Navy Department. Today Cap--vote of the whole lxlv of voters in

department today and saw the . judge
ldvocate,
, Captain Lemly 's ! eour.se in making a
sort of preliminary examination of wit
nesses is the usual action taken by at
torneys before going - into court . with
their case, and he will make it a point
tocoufeT with nil .'-of. the.. important wit
nesses bef rtfe they go upon the stand.
By this means much unimportant testi
mony may ba omitted. The inquiry will
be long at best, and it is the purpose of.
all concerned - to expedite it as much
hs possible by the elimination of details
which can have no important bearing
upon the final result.
The regulations of the Navy Depart
ment provide that . questions . submitted
.to a witness before the court shall le
asked through the judge advocate. In
1he Schley case, however, as in all those
where a stenographer makes a verbatim
i-ejxirt of all thatis said, questions will
be asked of witnesses direct by counsel
for Schley, the same a-s in an ordinary
court. Unless specially authorized to
assist the judge advocate other counsel
will not have the right to" examine wit
nesses. Therefore Afimifal Sampson's
counsel will be barred from asking ques
tions unless 'they, be deputized to assist
Captain Lemly or some special courtesy
is granted to them.
Admiral Schley will not be referred to
at the hearing as defendant in the case,
but as thenippTicaRt, he having applied
for a court of inquiry- This is the usual
practice in such cases.
Nothing further has been heard from
Admiral Sampson a-s .to whether or not
he will be present at the hearing. There
has been no as-surance that he ilL at
. tend, and the conviction is strong that he
will not be here. "

Chinese Diplomacy Not Un
derstood tn This Country
Washington, Sept.. 3. W. W. Rockhill,
special commissioner of -the United States
at Pekin, ha-s broken a rather protract
ed silence with a telegram containing
the gratifying news that the Chinese
.peace plenipotentiaries had received an
imperial edict commanding them to sign
the protocol for the adjustment of the
differences between China, and the pow
ers. The edict named August 28 as the
day for signing to take place, but for
reasons not clearly explained the Chi
nese peace envoys have failed to attach
their signatures. . Their statement is that
they are waiting for imperial edicts of
instruction concerning the articles of the
protocol relating to the punishment of
officials and the suspension of civil ser
vice examination in . towns - where out
rases against foreigners 'were commit
ted. ' - ' ' A
This explanation p not - understood
here, and Mr. Rockhill was apparently
unable to interpret it. The officials of
the State Department are at a loss to
determine why the envoys, after hav-
: : i il i , - .
lllnl -ainuurrcy ana nirecnon to
sign the. complete protocol, should insist
ou waiting for , instructions concerning
s'rme of its terms.'
Minister Wu was at the State Depart
ment today asking if any news had been
received hi regard td the venort that , he
was to be transferred from Washington
to London. The department, however,
was without advices on. the subject, and
Mr. Wu was so informed.

Receipts for July and August
Exceed Expenditures In
ternal Revenue Income
Does Not Fall Off :
Washington, Sept. 3. Although the ex
penses of the United States-government
are supposed to be increasing -year by
year, yet the expenditures -during the two
months of Jnly and August last were
nearly $13,(KX),00Q less than. in same
months last year. The decrease is at
tributed to the reduced expenses of the
military establishment, the expensive
campaign in China being over -and-4he
war in the Philippines being -practically
ended. Upwards of -$4,000,000 of the
reduction in current expenditures, ' how
ever, is due to decreased payments for
civil and miscellaneous purposes, the fail
ure of the river and harbor bill at the
last session of Congress probably being
responsible for the decline. .-
The monthly statement of receipts and
.'expenditures published by the Treasury.
Department today snows tnat tne total,
income from customs, internal revenue
and all other sources of income in the
month of August was $45,394,125,, or, i
about $4,000,000 less than in August,
1000, and that the total expenditures
were $3T).3r1.497. or about $11,000,000
less than in the same month of last year.
The August expenses of the War De
partment were only $0,320,515. as against
ir.2:il.700 last year. The expenses of
the Navy Department, on the other hand,
increased about half a million dollars,
but the interest pavments decreased
from $3,1 70.081. to if 2,4(53.020. The. re
ceipts from internal revenue sources are
decreasing, but not in the ratio ex
pected vrhen many of the war - taxes
were abolished. When the new revenue
bill was under consideration last' winter
the leaders of the Senate Finance Com
mittee estimated,' that -the : proposed
amendments to the old law would Cause
a decrease of fully $40,000,000 in the
receipts of thetgovernmeut from internal
revenue in the fiscal year 1902. The
experience of the first two month of
the fiscal year does not bear-our-this
prediction, and the , result may be at
tributed to the phenomenal bHsiBesa pros
perity of .the country The internal, reve
nue . receipts duijug .July and Aiignsr:
were $50,374,975, as against $53,015.42-
iu the sr.me months last year. If thi

port of the' American Federation in the

Mr. Shaffer is accused of having
thrown away an opportunity to settle
the strike on favorable terms by J. P.

hopeless fight. The charge is also made
that the strike is already lost and that
