the Schley court of inquiry today. On
direct examination he continued his
narrative of the Cuban campaign.
Lieutenant Wells was under cross ex
amination for two hours and a half,
largely at the hands of Mr. Hanna,
whose questions were directed mainly
to the dispatches pent and received
by Schley.
While this line of examination was
being exploited Mr. Raynor, speaking
for Schley, said the admiral was will
ing to admit that he received the
Dear Schley letter on the Dupont.
which arrived at C'ient'uegos, May 22,
but he added that no duplication of
this dispatch was ever received by
Schley. He said Schley admitted the
receipt of two copies of No. 8. Samp
son's dispatch, saying that the Spanish
iteet was probably at Santiago, and one
received by the Hawk. May 23, and
the other by the Marblehead on May
L'4. Lieutenant Wells was still on the
stand when the court adjourned. He
will continue his testimony tomorrow.
SIN DIEGO BUSINESS HEN
Visit Phoenix in Fntherance of Bail-
road Project-
Messrs. Geo. W. Marston. chairman.
and S. W. Ferguson, manager, of the
San Diego chamber of commerce rail
road committee, and H. P. Wood, sec
retary of the San Diego chamber of
commerce, arrived here yesterday and
jtre guests of the Hotel tiiams. They
came here from Yuma, and previous to
that spent two days in the arid regio.i
of southern California recently pene
trated by the Imperial canal and now
under process of reclamation from the
?reat American desert to the most fer
tile of American agricultural areas.
They will leave this evening for Bis
bee. where they will spend several daye
in looking over that great mineral
field and in consultation with the rep
resentatives and officials of the Phelps
Dodge and Palmer company.
The particular thing in which these
gentlemen are Interested is the build
ing of the San Diego and Yuma rail
load, than whl'-h nothing could be
more desirable for Arizona as well art
southern California and San Diego
in particular. It is unnecessary to en
ter upon a discussion of the reasons
why at this time, as that statement ha
been accepted by all interested partus
and held to for years pas:. A short re
view of the situation, however, will be
explanatory.
o railroad company for the build
ing of the San Diego line has yet been
organized, and the present enterprise
is entirely separate from the project
of former Mayor Carlson of San Diego.
It was originated by the San Diego
chamber of commerce and thus far ha
been carried out by that body. A
fund of J43.000 was subscribed for sur
veys and other preliminaries, th
work being placed in charge of a com
mittee of which Mr. Marston is chair
man. The best engineers to be secured
were employed and a good portion of
the route prospected, with the most
Haltering results. It has been found
that the grades are far less formidable
than anticipated, in fact are entirely
feasible, and the greater part of the
18 as level almost as a floor. San
rlpR"- cv "n the alert for her own
interest, was given new energy by the
lmpenal anal enterprise. through
wni.-n a half million acres of the rich
est land in the country in to be brought
under cultivation and peopled. This
ork is being accomplished wlta amaz
ing rapidity. It is evident that with the
railroad once consti-uc-led the local
bu.s,ness between Yuma and San Diego
iii make it a profitable enterprise.
inns far the only connection tho
"ad will have will be with the South
" Pacific at Yuma. The San
go gentlemen now here say
inat as yet no plans have been made
u-t .,r the Colorado river, but if there
a bciter outlet to be secured than
'nnwtion with the Southern Facflc.
ani it. The line which
now pushing toward Bisbce
l-Mlson. is an In, I ,,...,.., . ...
and
aiions. Connecting lines between
enson and Phoenix are contemplated.
a re is then only the short cut from
, i.iiT."'? t0 Yuma through a rich agrl
ihr,. Ke'tion needed to make i
through system.
J'. Is ',ms rou'e hat the visitors are
. '""king over and fortifying them-
with good arguments to present
lllbunv astern that desires to
rnwd. They say that when
-r"'nd is thoroughly looked
, Z .7 wi" ,,e a position
j.., ," V1" bst proposition to capitat
li,, ' 'onst ruction of this through
rail part of u that a possible
,ad builde'- n desire. When the
s Z ,l?eS they are readv to this
s-X'd thing to any corporation that mar
wish to take hold of it. ana If no ex
isting corporation does so a railroad
company for the construction of th?
San Diego and Yuma line will be or-,
ganized and the road ouilt, for It :
the one thing needed and it must be
built.
Mr.- Marston is one of the leading
business men of San Diego and is
widely known in mercantile and oth'ir
circles. Mr. Ferguson was formerly
president of the Imperial company and
resigned to take charge of this enter
prise. He Is well known all over the
coast, his home being in Berkeley and
he having been connected with many
big California enterprises. Mr. Wood
Is secretary of the San Diego chamber
of commerce and nils a position of u
great deal of importance and one he
Is eminently fitted for. He is an en
thusiastic worker for his city and an
active missionary when abroad. Re
cently he had published two beautiful
volumes in paper covers, one entitle. t
"The Port of San Diego" and the other
"Home-land." both of them in the In
terest of extending the fame of that
city and attracting visitors, investors
and residents. Both publications are
works of art as well as being filled with
valuable information.
All threee of the gentlemen spent
yesterday afternoon in driving over
the valley, and expressed themselves
last night as highly pleased with what
they saw. each new view adding em
phasis to their previous well grounded
belief that every days delay In the
connecting of San Diego with this re
gion by a through line, was a valuable
day lost to both communities.
After the meeting of the board of
trade, called last night for the purpose
of completing arrangements for the
statehood conference had completed its
work upon that matter, the San Diego
visitors, who were present, had an In
formal, conference with the board for
the purpose of an interchange of ldaa
upon the subject In which all are ko
mutually interested.
T BEEVES' PRECAUTION

Offering.
Lowell. Mass., Oct. 21. The financial
troubles which have caused great sus
pense to the officers of the Merchants
National bank for three days in con
sequence of the disappearance of the

A WIFE'S ADVICE.
Vienna. Oct. 21. The failure of the
foden credit bank at Oudenburg. Hun
gary, led to a singular suicide. Man
ager Schladerer, whose extensive de
falcations caused the failure, made a

NEW CHINESE HEIR
The Dowager Wanted Somebody Who
Could be Controlled-
Pekin, Oct. 21. The new heir to the
throne will be appointed when the dow
ager empress meets Prince Chlng and
several viceroys at Kaiefing. where
there will be a general discussion of
the affairs of the empire. This news is
believed to be authentic, as it Is re
ceived from Chinese officials.
The present heir proved dissipated
and uncontrollable. Moreover his fa
ther's status as a banished prince
makes the succession contrary to
Chinese tradition. The candidate is
said to be Peitze. a son of Prince Tuan,
and who is intellectually weak,

A BUSY CONGRESS
Many Important Measures tor
the Coming Session
Legislation Inspired by the Assassina
tion of President McKinley to Be
Given the First Place Revival
of a Merchant Marine-
Washington, Oct. 21. Representative
Dalzell of Pennsylvania, a member of
the committee on ways and means, be
lieves that the coming session of con
gress will be crowded with lmiortant
business. "One of the most important
matters," he says, "will be legislation,
inspired by the assassination of Pres
ident McKinley. luoking to the protec
tion of the president against ussaults.
and for the suppression of anarchy.
"I do not believe there should be any
difficulty in passing a law to make any
attempt on the life of the president, or
any one In immediate succession to the
presidency, a felony punishable by
death after trial in the federal courts.
Congress has ample power to do that
under the decision of the United States
supreme court in the case of the dep
uty marshal who killed the assailant of
Justice Field. The court held that the
chambers of that justice were where
ever he was at the time.
"As to the suppression of anarchy
that will be a more difficult problem.
Without closer study than 1 have been
able to give it I could not express any
definite views. The excitement about
yellow Journalism' will brobably lead
to some attempts to restrict the liberty
of the press. But I think If the laws
In force were properly administered
much of the so-called liberty, but real
ly license, of the press might be re
stricted. The real remedy for that sort
of thing, however, lies with the public.
"I have no doubt that congress will
have to consider the subject of the re
vival of a merchant marine. There
were serious objections in the minds of
a great many to what, was known as
the Hanna-Payne ship subsidy bill. In
the last congress, but I have no doubt
that a measure can be framed that will
overcome those objections and give to
our shipping Interests such protection
as will within a short time result in
making us the carriers of our own
goods.
"As to tariff legislation. I do not be
lieve that there will be any. There Is
no need of any. Once the subject Is
opened and uncertainty created In
business circles great Injury will fol
low. Even if some minor changes were
needed. It -would -be unw ise to touch
that matter and arrest the prosperity
of the country. What Is the need of
tariff legislation when we are more
prosperous under the tariff as it now
stands than we ever were before- In
the history of the ' nation? As to the
Babcock bill, that would simply be a
method of opening up the tariff ques
tion. I do not believe that the house
would listen a moment to any such
foolish measures. Even If it became a
law It would not hurt the trusts,
though it would crush out opjosltion
to them. There are two sides to this
trust question. If the duties were re
moved from iron and steel products it
would not be long before they would
be removed from all other products.
Congress is not so short-sighted as to
take up any mi-usure of that kind.
"As to reciprtx-ity. the word Itself
means nothing. 1 am in favtr of reci
prolty treaties as dcfineil in the last
republican national platform, which
declares in favor 'of reciprocity so di
rected as to oen our markets on favor
able terms for what we do not our
selves produce in turn for foreign
markets." That is the latest official
declaration of the republican party on
the rei-iprwlty ciuestion. Iresident
McKinley approved of that declaration.
He declared in favor of reciprocity that
would afford new markets for our sur
plus agricultural and manufactured
products, without loss to the American
laborer of a single day's work that he
might otherwise procure. In the last
speech he ever made he declared in
favor of 'sensible trade arrangements
which will not interrupt our home
production I stand by President Me
Kinley's declaration in that respect,
and should oppose any reciprocity
proposition that would injure a single
American laborer. Any other kind of
reciprocity will not re approved by
congress. I am not in favor of strik
ing at one Industry to help another.
That is contrary to the principle of a
protective tariff and is unjust.
"I have no doubt that an Isthmian
canal bill will find favor with congress.
It looks as though the difficulties that
have heretofore existed by reason of
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty will be re
moved. There should; not be much de
lay, when that Is done, in providing
for an Interoceanic waterway."

COPPER AGAIN WEAK
Another Drive Against the
Stock Yesterday
One Reason Said to Be That the
Production is Certainly Outstripp
ing the Demand Standard Oil
- Another Reason.
New York, Oct. 21. Renewed weak
ness In Amalgamated copper stock to
day was said to be due to the reports
that the StanGard Oil Interests were
again reducing their holdings materi
ally and that the demand for copper
was not keeping pace with the produc
tion. The old sores between the Amal
gamated Copper company . and the
Heinzes were again exposed, but there
is a feeling in some quarters that be
fore long something will happen which
will show that the conllicting Interests
are not as far apart as many have
supposed.
So far. however, relations between
the big company and Its Montana riv
als do not appear to be tranquil. As
far as can be learned no progress has
been made toward a reconciliation of
the Amalgamated and the Helnzc in
terests. Judging from appearance and
the statement of Mr. Heinze himself
they are farther apart than ever. Suits
to the number of 120 are still pending.
Litigation is assuming a wider and
more -complicated range.
More than $50,000,000. it Is said, is
now tied up as the result of the war.
No proposition has recently been made
by the Heinzes to sell their properties.
The Amalgamated company has not of
fered to buy out its rivals. F. A.
Heinze renews his declaration that he
will ultimately get his price for his
properties, and the. company answers
that so long as he wants about three
dollars for one the company will never
pay the three. Still., it is known that
the rival interests really desire a ces
sation of hostilities.
Arthur P. Heinze today declared that
the big decline In copper was not due
to fear of any reduction in the price
of the product, but was the natural re
sult of over-capitalization and the sell
ing out of men whose financial emi
nence had kept the stock up to an un
warrantably high price. He also de
clared that Mr. Law-son's reported loss
of S7.000.000 during the recent break
was well understood by the operators
and by the street generally.
Referring to the arrest of the presi
dent of the Delaware Surety company
last week. r. Heinze said that it
would be conclusively proved that the
arrest was without Just cause and that
the allegations upon which the arrest
was made were false.
"At the time." said Mr. Heinze. "that
the arrest was made the company had
on hand SI50.000 of first mortgage
bonds of the Nipper Consolidated Cop
per company. S350.000 cash deposited
with the supreme court of Montana
and J1.201.S75 cash on deposit with the
Commercial Trust company of New
Jersey, which is a deiwsitory for the
Delaware Surety company. The treas
urer of the surety company has said
that In May of this year the assets of
the company amounted to Sl,99S.O0O."
BUTT'S NARROW ESCAPE
The Territory Took a Fatal Precau
tion Against H:m.
The very interesting case of the ter
ritory against Orea Hutis was tried In
district court yesterday. Kutts is a
young man who war. arrested last sum
mer charged with the stenllng of a
sum of money from Charles Scifers.
with whom he had been working on the
ranch of D. D. Horning. The money,
consisting of five bills, four of which
were national bank notes and the oth
er a silver certificate, were taken from
a trunk. Butts was immediately sus
pected and was arrested a couple of
days later. The search was greatly
aided by the methodical habits of Sci
fers, who is one man In a million. Ha
had for years been in the habit of
keeping in a diary, along with other
momentous events of his career, the
numbers and general description of all
notes and bills that ever came into his
possession. He was therefore able t.-
inform the authorities all about the
last money, even to the names of the
national banks which had Issued the
notes. They were traced with consid
erable case through stores at whicn
it was learned that Butts had done
business after the theft of the money.
All the bills were found and Butts was
bound over to the grand jury notwith
standing the objection of the defense
to the complaint on the ground that
one thing had been charged In It.
while another had been proved. The
words ' lawful money of the United
States." which followed a description
of the lost bills, It was contended, con
stituted an unnecessary and fatal pre
caution, since it had been proven that
no money of that description had been
stolen.
Butts was Indicted by the grand Jury
on the same proof which had been
brought against htm In the Justice's
court. After all the evidence for the
prosecution was put In yesterday,
Messrs. Bullard and Alexander, the
defendant's attorneys, renewed their
old objection and backed it by several
decisions, one of which In precisely the
same kind of a case had been handed
down by the supreme court of Texas.
Judge Street told the Jury that what
ever the popular understanding of tho
meaning of "lawful money of the.
United States." national bank notes
were not lawful. money. It was essen
tial in all cases that thereshould bo
an intimate relation between allegation
and proof: that it was a principle that
the defendant should know precisely
wnat he is charged with. In this case
such a precise knowledge had not been
afforded him. The jury was therefore
directed to bring in a verdict of not
guilty. Mr. Mutts smiled with great
satisfaction at the splendid foresight
of men who make laws. Mr. Setters
looked as though the bandage ought
sometimes be taken off the eyes of the
goddess and that she be given a new
pair of scales.
The following venire of trial jurors
was returned: C. J. Root, T. M. Brock
man. W. A. Thayer, W. S. Osborn. M.
E. Xlanton, Frank McCullough, S. S.
Warner, Byron Corr, J. G. Peterson,

The grand Jury was tn session un
til four o'clock, but made no report.
One case was resubmitted to it for. a
curious reason. An - Indictment had
been found, but on the back of it when
it was sent into court appeared the
names of the witnesses in another cast.
The bail of P. T. Robbins. appealed
from the recorder's court, was declared
forfeited. The case of Jack Leroy,
from the same court, was taken up.
and an attack was made on the record,
but the whole matter went over un
til today. The cases of Peralta and
Vcrdugo were set for trial tomorrow.

A TEXAS DUEL
Waco Stirred Up for the First Time
Since Srann Died.. -
Waco. Tex., Oct. 21. One of the

A GEOLOGIC HUNT
Whereabouts of Miss
Stone Still a Mystery
REASONABLY CERTAIN
That the Macedonian Committee Was
Concerned in Her Disappearance
A Probability That the Brigands
Will Insist Besides the Ransom
on a Provision in the Terms of Set
tlement Against an Indignant
Afterclap.
Constantinople. Oct. 2L Officials of
the United States legation arc still
without news from the missionaries,
who are seeking to make arrangements
wtth the abductors of Miss Stone and
her companion, Madame Tsllka, It is
regarded as probable that the mis
sionaries will use the nearest telegraph
only when the terms of the ransom
are settled and directing where the
cash shall be sent.
MACEDONIANS GUILTY.
London. Oct. 21. The idea that the
capture of Miss Stone originated with,
the Macedonian committee is corrob
orated, according to the Vienna cor
respondent of the Mail, by the fact that
numerous Macedonians in Sofia have
offered to mediate with the brigands.
A rumor emanating from a Bulgar
ina source, is that Miss Stone is hidden
in Villayet, Salonika, is regarded as
very improbable, says the Sofia cor
respondent of the Telegraph. Charles
Dickinson. United States consul gen
eral at Constantinople Is still firmly
convinced of the complicity of the
Macedonian committee. In missionary
circles the view Is favored that when
the ransom is paid the brigands will
also be granted amnesty and that all
records of the agreement with th
band will be cancelled.
