Its president announced Its refusal to hear Ad
miral Sampson's aide at all; and in lew of such
exclusion the majority of the court acted with
entire propriety in not expressing any opinion on
these points.
The mitter has. however, been raided bv the
president cf th court. Moreover, it Is th point
upon which Admiral Schley, In his appeal. Jays

I. EFFECT AX APPEAL
FROM McKlNLCV'S DECISION.
The appeal of Admiral Schley to m Is not,
an to this, the chief point he raises, really an
appeal frm the decision of the Court of Inquiry.
Fhe-slxths of the appeal Is devoted to this ques
tion ot command aid credit; tl-at is, to mater
which the Court of Inquiry did not consider. It
la In effect an appeal rm the action cf Presi
dent McKlnley three years ago, when he sent
la the recommendations for promotion for the
various officers connected with the Santligo
squadron, basin? these recommendations upon
his estimate of the credit to which the officers
were respectively entitled. ,
What I have t decide, therefore, is whether
or not President McKinley did Injustice In the
matter. This necessarily Involves a comparison
of the action of the different commanders en
gaged. Tho exhaustive official reports of th ac
tion leave little to be brouKht out anew; but,
as tho question of Admiral Hampton's right to
be considered in chief command, which was de
termined In his favor by President McKInIy and
later by tl-e Court of Claims, has never hitherto
been officially raised, I deemed It best to se
cure statements of the commanders of the five
Fhlps (other thin the Brooklyn and New Tcrk,
the flagships of the two Admirals), which wero
actively engaged in the fightt
We have Just cause to be proud of the vigi
lance and Instant readiness our ships displayed
and the workmanlike efflciency with which they
were handled.
The mutt striking act waA that of the Glouces
ter, a conert?d jacht, which her commander.
Walnwrlght. pushed into the fight through a
hall of pmjectljes any on of which would
hare sunk her. In order that he might do his
pan In destroying the two torpedo toats. each
posseting far more than his own offensive
power.
Trom the ftatementp of the Captains above,
from the official reports and from the testi
mony before the Court of Inquiry, the fight can
be plotted with abfclute certainty in its Im
portant outline, though there Ij conflict as to
minor points.
XEW YORK TL'ItNED HACK
AS SOOX AS FIGHT I1EOAX.
When tho four Spanish cruisrrs came out of the
harbor the New York had left her portion In the
blockadlrir lines forty er forty-five mlnule before-
She had holstfd the signal: "Disregard the
movements of the Commander-in-Chief." and had
not hoisu-d the hlgnal to the second In command
to take charge, which, as appears bv the "ignal
Iook. was fcometlmes but not always used whea
the command was transferred.
As scon as the engagement tvgan the New Tork
turned and hteamed back, hoisting a signal to
elope In. which, however, none of the squadron
saw. Sho was in plain sight, and not very much
farther from the easternmost blorkaling ships
than the latter were from the Urookln. which
was tho wettmmost of the line.
As soon an the Spanish ships appeared the five
big American blockadcrs started toward them, in
accordance with the standlnc orders of Admiral
Sarinson
After this first mov, ?ach acted purely on hU
own tritlotive. For some minutes the Spanish
tr.d American vrseK steadily approached on
another and the fighting was at Its hottest. Then
the already damaged Spanish ahlps turned to tho
westward, while at the name tlm h western
most American el, the Brooklyn, which, was
nea-t the Spanish line, turned to the eastward,
mak'ns a loop of a three-qunuer circle, at the
end of which she again headed westward, farther
off from and farther beMnd the Sp-wlrfi vessel
than before tbe lcop had o-gun, but -till nheid
of anv of the American vessels, although farther
outRide.
The Texas, the next t-hlp to the Brooklyn, either
wan or curcelvcd herself to be, put In such Jeop
ardy by the Brooklyn's turn toward hr that she
btckd hre engines, coming almost er quite to a
standstill, so that both the Orej-on an! the Iowa,
which were orlglnnlly to the eastward of her.

HEEDED ORDERS FROM BROOKLYN.
The following Is Admiral Evans's: statement:
Th credit for the blockade, for the srnnrr-
rnent of tho ships at the opening of the fight,
and for the first movements forward Into tho
eht. must, of course, belong to Admiral Smn-
son. whose orders we were putting into effect.
When the fight began Admiral Sampson's ship,
the New York was in plain sight, I saw her
turning to overtake us. Throughout the fight
I considered myself as under his command, but
1 received no orders from him until the Viscaya
was aground. Nor did I receive any orders what
ever from the Brooklyn, nor should I have head
ed them if I had received them. Inasmuch as I
considered Admiral Sampson to bo present and
In command.
"The heavy fighting was during the time when
-tiA Rnanlah vessels were comimr nut of th h--
bor and before thev had stretched fairly to the
westward. When they thus stretched to the
westward we all went after them without or
ders. Of course we could do nothing1 else. TJn

determined to rob them of their adjudicated
and mandatory character, determined also
at the same time to make other words in
the same amended spctIon the inheritors of
the same quantum of mandatory force."
The concluding phrase caused a general
laugh and a member remarked: "Too many
Juleps."
The reversing of Missouri decisions
brought out anecdotes ot like apparent In
consistencies In other States. Mr. Mann
cited Illinois eases which reversed each
other, and appeared In the same court re
ports. Mr. Bowie: "In Alabama wc had a court
decision December 7, and a week later, De
cember 12, It was reversed by the same
court."
XO I'ROOr OF FRACD IV
ini'in runcixcT krowtii.
Referring to the charge that registers had
been paddad. Mr. Rowe cited the unusual
growth of cerlnin wards in St. Louis, es
pecially the Twenty-eighth Ward, where the
population had grown quickly from 500 to
SIM; by various census comparisons he
showed that there was nothing conclusive
of fraud in th fact that precinct popula
tion had been swelled unduly.
Mr. Smith of Iowa: "One thing is apparent
In this case. It seems that if fraud is com
mitted in St. Lou's the purchased voters
stay bought. In some localities this Is not
alwajs done. There are some gentlemen in
this country who regularly sell their votes
but fall to deliver them."
Mr. Mann: "I think the Democratic pres
idential candidate In '96 advised that.
Didn't he counsel his followers to take the
money and thenft'ote their own choice?"
Mr. Rone remarked that he could not
conceive a Democrat selling his vote.
The Chairman: "In view of tho advice of
the candidate mentioned this is heresy."
(Laughter.)
ROME ATTACKS ACCURACY
OF McIJCHXnY CAXVASS.
Mr. Rowe then took up the testimony of
MclJurney as to the accuracy ot the can
vass made by him. He quoted McBurney's
statements that it was merely the figures
furnished him by some thirty canvassers,
ami he did not know that they were accu
rate. But three of thco canvassers had
sworn to the returns, said Mr. Rone, and
it will be seen, therefore, what weight is to
be given this evidence.
Mr. Fihse interrupted to say that twelve
or more of these canvassers had been ex
amined by him. but later on he corrected
this assertion and admitted that not more
than three were so examined. This would
leave some thirty canvassers who had mere
ly tvrned In the result of their inquiries
and did not certify to the accuracy of their
work.
Governor Powers of Maine, a Republican,
remarked that. In his opinion, such a can
vass was lacking In authority nnd not at
all reliable as compared with the Federal
census.
IIRARIXR AC5WV ASSUMES
KKCK AXD i: ISV TOXE.
Chairman Tayler and Mr. Mann of Illi
nois then questioned Mr. Rowe a3 to the
number of voters registered In certain
houses on Chestnut street, near Twentieth,
which Chief Campbell had sworn were of
questionable character. In on house four
teen men were registered, and. In the dis
cussion of this point, so many suggestive
inquiries were made by members that the
hearing assumed the free and easy style of
a variety show.
Mr. Rowe did not attempt to explain how
so many males happened to be registered
In one of these houses, but maintained that
there was nothing in the testimony sub
mitted by Horton to show that they were
not bonafide voters, nor was It shown that
these voters had cast their ballots for But
ler. Mr. 'Mann suggested that, where the con
testant claimed that there had been a con
spiracy to defeat his election, and where
the McBurney canvassers reported that
thev were' unable to find men at addresses
given In the registration list. It would
ha'e been easy for Butler to have estab
lished the fact that they were there If It
was true.
Mr. Rowe would not admit that It wan
incumbent upon the contcstee to prove such
a fact, when the contestant failed to prove
tho contrary, and the matter was dropped.
Mr. FiS3e then was asked by a member
why he had not submitted proofs from the
city directory to show that there had been
false registration. He said he had nsked
for this, but the new director- then was
being prepared, and the material could not
be had, and he was forced to rely upon the
McBurney canvass.
ROWE ASKED WHY OTHER
DISTRICTS WERE XOT STOI.EV.
In his concluding remarks, Mr. Rowe sug
gested some facts which appeared to be
considered ot weight by the committee.
The Democrats, said he, are charged with
a great conspiracy to d;fiat the Republican
candidate In tlie Twelfth District. "But
why did not they go also Into the Eleventh
District, where the vote is much closer,
and tho election could have been carrtwl
easily if there was such a gigantic con
spiracy to rob the Republicans? Thieves, as
a rule, do not act half way. They gener
ally take all they can get. I think that is
the universal rule. I have never heard or
an exception to that rul?. I never heard
of a thief falling to take away what he
could carry: so that if the Democrats could
have so readily stolen the Twelfth Dis
trict, ns is claimed by Horton's counsel,
why did not they do the same in the Elev
enth, and also th? Tenth?"
Mr. Smith: "Well, all this took lots of
money. Maybe the other Democraiic can
didates did not haw it to spend."
HOWE CITES CAUSES OF
BUTLER'S STREXGTH AT POLLS.
Mr. Rowe: "But It is contended that the
whole campaign In the Twelfth District
-was managed by a political party; that the
for Infants
Castoria is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Pare
goric, Drops aud Soothing: Syrups. It is Pleasant. It
contains neither Opium. Morphine nor other Narcotic
substance. It destroys Worms aud allays Pe erishncs.

money was furnished by the Jefferson Club,
of which Harry Hanes was president. Sure
ly this sum could be expended as readlly
in the Eleventh as in tho Twelfth Dis
trict. "The fact is. in Miy. 1300. there was a
gigantic strike. We thought our city so
Imperiled that the fact was noised all over
tho country. In fact, we were trying to
rival our sister city upon the lake."
Mr. Mann of Illinois; "i do not remem
ber of hearing of your strike. I-heard of
ouis." (Laughter.)
Mr. IWwe: "Labor organizations were
formed, and Mr. Horton, the contestant,
had been a member of tho City Council
and rightly or wrongly, was considered to
be the friend of Mr. Baumhoff, superin
tendent of the Transit Company. A great
many people claimed that Mr. Baumhoff
was Instrumental in securing Horton's
nomination over Mr. Pierce. The result was
the labor organizations were antagonistic
to Mr. Horton. They paraded the streets,
made loud protestations against Baumhuff
and his methods and were very much in
censed against him. That was one reason
for Butler's strength.
"Then again the colored vote, which is
unusual, was divided in the district, and
many voted for Butler. Colored political
clubs marched with tha Democrats on
Democratic parade days. These thinss
helped Butler.
"And all these things were the great
'conspiracy' that secured the election of
Butler. Then, again, gold Democrats were
nominated on our city ticket, and the
Democrats were successful bccaui they
were united and harmonious.
FISSE CLAIMS ST. LOUIS IS
GOYERXED AT JEFFEKSOX CITY.
"United and triumphant Is the proper
phrase," suggested Mr. Mann. Mr. Fisse
then spoke for an hour on behalf of Hor
ton. He referred to the appointment of
Police Commislsoners and Election Com
missioners by the Governor.
"The fact Is. said he. vehemently, "St.
Louis Is governed at Jefferson City. State
interference In munlcial affairs began In
1SS0, and has continued until this day. All
local government is throttled by Stats con
trol. It has progressed to a point where
we have a State Excise Commissioner, ex
ercising absolute control over the dram
shops; a State Board of Grain Inspectors.
If even a Democratic candidate for Justice
of the Peace falls to get elected In the
city the Legislature foists him upon St.
Louis as a State officer."
Mr. Fisse then severely commented on the
decisions of the Supreme Court.
"I ask you." said he, "If the quotations'
of thos decisions made here do not Justify
my criticism. Follow the record of that
court and answer if there is one case In
which tho court did not adjust Its decision
to the necessity of seating the Democratic
candidate. That 13 the ground on which I
Impeach that court.
"Yes. There was one case TTeem?
against Kelson where they did permit the
Republican -to keep his place. But that of
ficial would rather he had died than to
bear the odium of having recelcd his of
fice in sucJi nnnr.er. And in this very case,
where this contest and ten others had been
commenced. Judge Marshall went outside
of the record (and confessed it in his opin
ion, nnd says so), to state that there Is no
law In the State of Missouri by which it
can be permitted, that in an election con
test a man shall be allowed to compare the
ballots' with the poll list. It was not in
that case, and what Judge Marshall said
was a plain invitation to come to the Su
preme Court for preventive writs to carry
on these contests.
COXDEMXS JUDGE MARSHALL
FOR CIIAXGIXG OPIXIOX.
"I have s.at along side Judge Marshall
when 'he was City Counselor. I have con
ferred with him on this very Bubject of
confirming votes and poll lists. I have
heard him instiuct the Board of Election
Commissioners that It was thtlr duty to
permit that comparison be made, because
the parties to the case have to report ev
ery fact which the parties requested to
have reported.
"I have known how Judge Marshall
changed his opinion, and I have seen his
opinion adopted finally as part of the law
of Missouri. I have no respect for a man
who changed his opinion under such cir
cumstances. I am not saying anything
more her; than I have sought every oppor
tunity to say to Judge Marshall.
"Accepting his advice. Mr. Kingsland
stood out against Mr. Caffery In the ab
sence of the third member. It was merely
this fact which enabled ire to bring before
you the evidence I have presented of this
lection.
RESULTS PRODUCER WITH
COXXIVAXCE OF REPUBLICAXS.
"Everything I have brought here is based
upon these printed registration lists. But
hese lists themselves are a He and a cheat.
They do not contain all the names of the
original registration lists, of which they
purported to be copies. In the Eighth Pre
cinct. Fourteenth Ward, there are riearly
loo more names on tho registration lists
than appeared upon the printed sheet. But
this result was not produced without the
connivance of Republican election officers."
Mr. Mann: "That is a pretty serious
charge against the Republican machine in
St. Louis."
Mr. Fisse:- "Tou have heard of Zlegen
hcinlsm? Well. Zlegcnhcinlsm and Butler
Ism are one in essence. Zlegenhelnlsm never
would havo exlsfd In St. Louis but for
Butler."
Mr Mann: "That is a rew disease."
Mr. Fisse then referred to Bobby Carroll,
McCarty and other employes of Ed Butler,
who. he said, registered at shops or stables
belonging to Butler, but had residences
elsewhere, and described their evasion of
process during his Investigation.
"I cannot trust 'myself to review all
these matters," said Fisse. "The situation
Is complicated. There ore forces in St.
Louis, all contending for the benefit of the
Itsue to come out of this vicious material.
The World's Fair is not the least. I have
shown you beyond doubt that great fraud
existed and leave the proofs in your

DISCRIMINATION IN LICENSE
Retail Liquor Dealers' Associa

At a meeting of Council No. l of th
Liquor Dealers' Benevolent Association ot
Missouri yesterday. It was decided to call
the attention of Excise Commissioner Sl
bert to the alleged discrimination in license
taxes as between grocers and regular re
tall liquor dealers.
President Clarence Martin of Council No,
1 presided, and after the meeting John Wj
Howard stated that the association would
present Its case to the Excise Commis
sioner. "The law simply holds." said Mr. Hoir
nrd, "that grocers who sell bottled b
nre only compelled to pay a license of HW
a year, while no saloonkeeper can sell beer
under anything less than a 1000 license. W
think this is discrimination, and we would
like to havo It corrected, though at pret

AUIHOR AND PHYSICIAN
Writes Interesting; Tale,
Tlie author of "Under Palmetto and
Pine," "Norma. Trlst," "Four Years on
Wheels." etc.. Dr. J. W. Carhart of La
Grange. Texas, in addition to his literary
efforts, is a hard working physician In cen
eral practice.
He writes interestingly of how his free
dom from heart trouble was gained by leav
ing oil coffee and using Postum in lta
place. "I drank coffee in the ordinary form
for many years; nervous trouble Involving
disturbance of the heart's action resulted.
"On coming to Texas I fell Into the habit
of drinking coffee after hard, cold rides In
my practice or when In camp or on tho
trail. .My heart trouble soon became ex
ceedingly aggravating, resulting in frequent
attacks of what was pronounced angina
pectoris, a severe, agonizing pain over the
heart extending to the back and sometimes
down the left arm.
"In some of these attacks but for the time
ly administration of morphine Injected hy-
podermlcaily I could have survived but a .
snort time.
"At different times I abandoned the us i
coffee. belleIng It the cause of my troubles,
nnd Invariably Improved, but as I had noth
ing satisfactory to take its place In the
way ot a beverage. I returned to Its use.
"The literature of Postum Cereal Coffee
came to my notice and I resolved to try It.
The directions for preparation were strictly
followed and I found it an agreeable, ap
petizing. Invigorating table beverage. I con
tinued its use In my family for the past
year and a half or two years, during which
time I have never had an attack of my old
heart trouble, am carjable now at the ace
of 67 years and do us much professional
ana literary worK as at any penoa in my
life. I can endure physical excrcite with
out weariness, but with zest and relish,
and have gained In weight from 124 pounds
to 165 pounds."
The doctor further refers to the wide
spread prevalence of heart trouble from the
use of coffee and tobacco, and speaks of the
ad'antage gained by patients when they
leave off coffee and take Postum.
It must also be added that the poison ot
the coffee does not affect the heart in some
patients, but shows Its work In the stom
ach and bowels with one. perhaps In the
eyes with another, and kidneys with anoth
er, and general nervous prostration with
another.
It is never possible to tell Just where the
result of the poisoned nerve centers will
show forth. There Is but one way to sure
ly cure such cases, and that is by Insist
ing upon leaving off coffee and using Pos
tum In Its place. Postum contains the ele
ments for rebuilding the nerve cells and
brain. Albumen Is furnished In a variety
of foods, but albumen cannot be made into
the soft, gray matter of the brain and
nerve cells, except by the action of phos
phate of potash upon it and the system
will not always take up the crude phos
phate of potash whereas. It can be de
pended upon to take up the delicate parti
cles of that element when presented aa
