Week.
Washington, Oct. 10.-(Spl.)-Bear
Admiral Schley will receive his full
pay as senior rear admiral until tho
closo of the Court of Inquiry. That
is at the rate of $7,500 a year.
When Schley was placed on tho re
tired list a week ago, his salary under
the law, was reduced to o,G'J5 which
is three quarters of Hie amount given
him for active service. It was thought
at the time that one department would
officially assign him to attendance nt
the Investigation which would have
entitled him to full pay. No action
was taken for several days but the
dcpaitment then, by request, it Is said,
made the assignment, and the Ad
miral's namo was restored to Its form
er place on tho pay loll. Admirals
Benbam and Ramsey are both o tho
retired list, but receive full pay dur
ing their services as members of the
Court of Inquiry.
Unless present plans aro changed,
Mr. Rayner will closo Admiral Schley's
side of the case In about a week. It
is felt that nearly all the facts in Uie
case have been pretty clearly estab
lished and that all that remains 1b tho
persoual staemeut of Admiral Schley
and of tho officers closely connected
with him regarding the calhpaigii. Ad

Dalzell, of Pittsbutg, Is In
the city and has had two or three
consultations with tho President upon
important topics that aio to bo taken
up by Congress.
"One of the llrst matters that will
be dealth with," he said, "Is that of
legislation alined, at anarchists. Con
gress has ample power to deal with
the quesUou and a law will probably
bo framed making an attack upon tho
Piesident or those In succession to
the Presidency a capital offense.
"I do not believe that Congress will
meddle with tho tariff question this
year. It seems to me that If; would
be foolish to disturb present conditions
In tho business world. Under the
present tariff laws we aro enjoying
greater prosperity than ever before In
our history.
"I believe that Congress wll enact
some sort of a measure to encourage
our merchant marine. We are paying
out two hundred million dollars a year
to foreign carriers of our gopds and
might just as well have the rnonoy
as give it to our nelghbois across tho

It Is believed the letters they have
