SOHLE? DOUBT AFTERMATH. Secretary Long Suspends Ap proval Until Schleps Attor? neys Can. File Objections. <* : f -Washington, Dec. 16.-Admi? ral Sehl ey was in consultation to? day with his cousel, Hon. Isador Raynor and Mr. M. A. Teague, also Gen. Felix Agnus of Balti? more and Congressman Schirm of Maryland. After the conference Admiral , Schley directed Mr. Teague to ? make the following statement: "We have been in consultation as .to what further proceedings st??ii be taken, but nothing has - - been determined upon so far as civil or criminal action of any kind against Maclay and his sponsors is concerned. Maclay's claim that the finding of the court is a vindication for himself and his book is absolutely untrue. There are no less than half a dozen instances in the book in which, even were he to accept the findings of .the court and incor? porate them in the volume and change it to suit the findings; the book would still be criminal libel." f Mr.. Teague during the after? noon presented the following let? ter: from Admiral Smiley to Sec? retary Long: "Sir: I have the honor to most respectfully trust that you will withhold your approval from the * findings of the court of inquiry recently held at the navy yard in this city of Washington, of which court Admiral George Dewey was-president, until such time as J may have an opportunity to object thereto, and I further re? quest that you do not dissolve the court until such action shall have been taken on such objec? tions." Mr. Teague has asked the sec? retary to indicate his probable action in the premises. The sec? retary replied that the request "would be granted and his action in the finding and the dissolving of the court withheld until ob? jections were received and he had had an opportunity to consider them. H? stated that he would communicate with Admiral ^Schley in writing, and asked how long a time counsel desired to present their objections. Mr. Teague replied that they would be ready for representation by Thursday or Friday of this week. "We will except to the findings of the court," said Mr. Teague, "and make a demand that the ma? jority opinion be disapproved by the secretary as contrary to the evidence and the pertinent facts in the case which the court has not considered nor acted upon." While Mr. Teague would not say that such action would be taken, he pointed out the fact that they could appeal from the secretary's opinion to the presi? dent of the United States. Later in the day Secretary Long acknowledged, in a formal letter, the receipt of the request from Admiral Schley for permis? sion to file a bill of objections. The' ? secretary's response was brief and purely formal; it grant? ed the request and allowed until Fridav next, in which to submit t???'b?H. Admiral Schley has been re? lieved from further duty, in con? nection with the court of inquiry. Admiral Dewey, president of the court, today wras asked for a -statement as to the extent to which he endorsed the findings of the majority of the court. "I have not a word to say," he re? plied, "not a word." SCHLEY TO THE PEOPLE. Washington, Dec. 16.-Since the court of inquiry rendered its verdict Rear Admiral Schley has received a large number of letters and telegrams, all containing ex? pression of confidence and esteem and offers of assistance. To answer these personally would be a work of such magni? tude that the admiral has address? ed the following letter to the As? sociated Press which he asks to be published: Washington, D. C., Dec. 16,1901. "To the Associated Press: "I beg to express through the medium of the Associated Press my gratitude and heartfelt thanks for the kind words and evidences of interest in my wel? fare which ? have received from all parts of the United States. The magnitude of the correspond? ence renders it impossible for mc to personally acknowledge the same and I therefore take this means of expressing my apprc ciation to one and all. "Very truly yours, "Winfield Scott Schlev, "Rear Admiral U. S. X." THE MATTER IX SEX ATE. Washington, Dec. 16.-An echo of the verdict of the court of in? quiry in the case of Rear Admiral Schley was heard in the senate today when Mr. Jones of Arkan sas introduced a resolution ex? tending the thanks of congress and of the American people to Admiral Schley and the officers and men under his command dur? ing the battle of July 3, 1898, off the harbor of Santiago, Cuba. In submitting the resolution Mr. Jones made no statement and it was referred without consent to the committee on naval affairs. H&Y-P&ONC?F?TETREATY RATIFIED. Vote Stood 72 to 6-Amend? ments Rejected. Washington, Dec. 16.-The senate today ratified the Hay Pauncefote canal treaty by the decisive vote of 72 to 6. The vote was reached a few minutes before 5 o'clock after almost five hours' discussion behind closed doors. There were no incidents during this entire time. The de? bate was confined exclusively to a discussion of the merits of the affair and the policy of its pro? visions. The principal speech of the day was made by Senator Teller, in opposition to the treaty, and he was followed in rapid suc? cession by 12 cr 15 other sena? tors, who spoke briefly either for or against the motion to ratify. Senator Teller in his speech expressed confidence that the resolution would be adopted by the senate and while he had no purpose to attempt to prevent that result he.was convinced that there are very few senators who are really satisfied with the treaty. With Great Britain in her present mood, he said, that it would have been possible to se? cure a treaty which would give entire satisfaction and he sharply criticised the state department for failing to do so. He took the position that it would have, been sufficient to abrogate the Ciayton Bulwer treaty and said that Eng? land knew well enough that with that result accomplished she could very well trust the United States to maintain the neutrality of the canal as this country had been prepared to do so many years. Among the other speakers of the day were Senators Clay, Fair? banks, McCumber, McLaurin of Mississippi, Culberson, Mallory, Mason, Tillman, Bacon and Bate. Senator Clay was one of the southern senators who spoke in advocacy of the treaty. Education in the Philippines. Fred. W. Atkinson, General Superintendent of Education in the Philippines, has recently sub? mitted a report covering the period from Nov. 5, 1900, to May 27, 1901, in which he makes an interesting statement concerning the progress of education in the Philippines. At the time mentioned there had been appointed eight super? intendents, eight pricipals and assistants, and seven hundred and eighty-one teachers from the United States, together with two superintendents and eighty teach? ers from applicants in the Philip? pines. Mr. Atkinson says that over eight thousand written ap? plications with testimonials were examined, so great is the desire of Americans to take part in this noble work. In some cases, he informs us, successful teachers offer to teach in the Philippines for smaller salaries than they re? ceive at home, prompted, let us hope, by the desire to do good. It was our privilege some time ago to talk with a citizen of the United States who has spent much time in the Philippines and who is familiar with the condi? tions in those islands. He ex? pressed the conviction that all the trouble which we have had there and which we are now hav? ing grows out of the fact that the Filipinos do not understand us, do not understand our ways, do not know what national charac? ter is. They were for so many years in bondage to Spain that they have received all their ideas of government and national hon? or and integrity from that source. They did not have faith in the promises that the Spanish Gov? ernment made, for they were taught to believe that such prom? ises were made to be broken and not to bc kept. Thc gentleman j referred to said that it was pitt ful ? to sec how the Filipinos mistrust ed the United States Government, j It was more pitiful, he added, to j sec how even friendly Filipinos thoroughly misunderstood us. When friendly witnesses are put on the stand they testify in the Government's behalf, no matter j what the facts in thc case may be. They have been taught to be? lieve that that is what a Govern? ment witness is for.-Richmond Times. H T McIntyre. St Par:!. Minn., who has been troubled with a disordered stomach says, "Chamberlain's Stomach and Livea Tablets do me more good than anything I have ever ?aken." For sale by Dr A J WORK OF CONGRESS LAID OUT. Senate Will Probably Ratify Treaty Revenue for Philippine Islands. Washington, Dec. 15.-The disposi? tion of the senate is to do very little business, beyond acting upon the Hay Pauncefote treaty, before adjournment for the holidays. In accordance with the agreement reached Friday the treaty will be voted on before the sen? ate adjourns tomorrow. Senator Tel? ler will make the first speech of the day tomorrow and he will be followed by other senators with brief speeches. The opponents of the treaty admit there is no doubt for ratification. On Tuesday the announcement of the changes in committees will be made, and there is a probability that after this announcement the senate will adjourn until Thursday when the adjournment for the holidays will take place, extending to Jan. 6. If there are business sessions Wednesday and Thursday, Senator Morgan will make an effort to secure action on his bill authorizing the acquisition of right of ways for the Nicaragua canal, but senators on the Republican side of the chamber are inclined to postpone all important legislation until after the holidays. There probably will be ac? tion before the adjournment Thursday on a number of nominations, and the chances are that Attorney General Knox's nomination * will be among those to secure attention. The intro? duction of resolutions bearing on the case of Admiral Schley also is among the probabilities, but no action in that direction is anticipated for the present. HOUSE FORECAST. . Washington, Dec. 15.-The house this week will pass the bill to provide temporarily revenues for the Philip? pine islands which was reported from the ways and means committee last Friday. Under the aggreement then made general debate will extend throughout Tuesday and until 4 o'clock on Wednesday when a vote will be taken. There will be no opportu? nity to amend the measure. There will be a break in the party lines on both sides of the house. Mr. McCall of Massachusetts, the Republican member of the ways and means com? mittee who opposed the Puerto Pico bill during the last congress, will speak against tue measure and will be supported in his dissent from his Re? publican colleagues by Mr. Littlefield of Maine, and perhaps several other Republicans who opposed the Puerto Rican bill and who hold that a similar issue is presented at this time. On the Democratic side Mr. Robertson, a member of the ways and means com? mittee, will support the bill and the remainder of the Louisiana delegation will do likewise. Representing the sugar cane interests of their Stato they are opposed to concessions on sugar duties either from the Philip? pines or Cuba. The general beilef is that the bill will secure as. many Democratic votes as it loses votes on the Republican side, and that the majority in favor of it when placed upon its passage will be about the Re? publican majority in the house. CONGHESS~?yl??ESTIB?TE. Admiral Seeley's Friends M Satis? fied-Further Action Unexpected. Washington, Dec. 14.-Representa? tive Pearre of Maryland, who repre? sents the Maryland district from which Admiral Schley came, stated today that he would introduce a resolution for a congressional investigation of the entire Sampson-Schley affair, unless his colleague from Maryland, Mr. Schrim, who has contemplated intro? ducing such a resolution, carried out this action. Mr. Pearre says he has not formulated the details of the pro? posed congressional inquiry, but he thinks it would bo desirable to have it conducted by special committee rather than by one of the regular com? mittees of the house. - "The main purpose," said he "is to get the subject before an impartial : party of men wholly disconnected with the navy and free from the pre ju- : dices which seem to exist in certain ; naval circles. It is by having an in vestiagtion by men of such disinterest? ed character that the real facts can be brought out. The proceedings before : the court followed the strictest legal and official formality, and much evi? dence was barred out on technical grounds, which congressional investi? gation would bring out. I will, how? ever, defer to the wishes of colleague. Mr. Schrim, as be first announced he proposed to introduce a resolution of in? vestigation. Bu'c in case he does not act, my resolution will be introduced. MAY INCREASE THEIR PAY. A Biii Being Prepared in Congress to Double Salaries. Washington, D. C., Dec. 14.-Con? gress will commence on Monday the longest winter holiday it has ever given itself. Generally the date for the Christmas recess starts about the 21st, but tho congressmen, getting into a very liberal mood, have ?eter vmined on a fail throe weeks, during which time only tho lobbyist will be able to worry about legislation. There seems to bc a well developed idea that this congress will increase thc salaries of its members from S5,000 to 810,000 tor annum. This question is generally broached at each session, but amajorityof thc ronirress mon have come to consider that ;: dou? ble amount of coin v.ouid be more sat? isfactory, sr? it is believed that thc bill will pass. Such a biii has been form ulated and will give many members an opportunity ri' scowing their regard for the United States treasury. Tho numerous resolutions passed by diff?rent societies and the many speeches mad'- against Senator Wel? lington of Maryland at the time cf his alleged remarks about. Mr. McKin? ley have: been of no result and there apparently will be no effort made by any of the senators to oust the Mary landor. His own explanation seems to have satisfied the most indignant ami there the matter rests. Senator Wellington is perhaps one of the most remarkable of the self-made men in the senate. His real name is a long German name, but soon after he arrived at age he be? came tired of the troublent caused people to pronounce that^tfhich he held so dear and had it changed by an act of the legislature. For several years the present senator was a driver on the tow path of the Baltimore and Ohio canal, part of which property he now controls. He is a thorough Ger? man scholar and it was amongst the German communities of western Mary? land that he first waved his political banner, f?e has the reputation of be? ing a splendid heart to heart talker amongst the boys, but there are one or two other senators besides him that also have that kind of notoriety. There is a disposition to let all ques? tions rest until after the hoildays, and since the speaker's assignments on com? mittees there has been little to do but settle down. B?RGOHi'S QRE&BT INVENTION. Messages Game 1,700 Miles With? out Wires-Inventor Satisfied. St. John's N. F., Dec. 14.-Signor Marconi announced the most wonder? ful sientific discovery of modern times tonight in stating that he had receiv? ed electric signals across the Atlantic ocean from his station in Corn? wall, England. He explains that before leaving England he made plans for accomplishing this re? sult, for while his primary ob? ject was to communicate with ocean liners in mid ocean be hoped also to succeed in attaining the wonderful scentific achievement of wireless tele? graphy across the Atlantic. Signor Marconi's station in Corn? wall is most powerful. He possess? ed an electric force, generated there, a hundred times greater than his ordi? nary stations. Before he left England he arranged that the electrician in charge of the station, which is located at Poldhu, should begin sending sig? nals daily after a certain date, which Signor Marconi would cable him after having perfected his arrangements here. Signor Marconi arrived here a week ago Friday, selected Signal Hill, at the entrance to the harbor, as- an experimenting station and moved his equipment here. Last Monday he cabled to" the Poldhu station to begin sending sig? nals at 3 p. m., daily and to continue them until 6 p. m., these hours being respectively 11.30 a. m., to 2.30 p. m., St. John's time. During these hours Wednesday Signor Marconi elevated the kite with an aerial wire by means of which signals are sent or received. He remained at the recorder attached to the receiving apparatus, and to his profound satisafction signals were re? ceived by him at intervals, according to the programme arranged previously with the operator at Poldhu. These signals consisted of repeating at intervals the letter "s" which in Miarconi's code is made by three dots or quick strokes. This signal was re? peated so frequently and so in accord? ance with the plan, arranged to pro? vide safeguards against possibility of a mistake, that Signor Marconi was satisfied that it was a genuine trans? mission from England. Again on Thursday during the same hours, the kite was elevated and the same signals were re? newed. This made the assurance so complete'that Signor Marconi cabled to his principals in England and also informed the governor of Newfound? land, who apprised the British cabinet of the success of the experiments. Signor Marconi, though satisfied of the genuineness of the signals, and that he has succeeded in his attempts in establishing communication across the Atlantic without the use of wires, emphasized the fact that the system is ai; yet only in an embryo stage, and that the possibility of its ultimate development is demonstrated by the success of the present experiments with incomplete and imperfect ap? paratus, as the signals can only be re? ceived by the most sensitively adjust? ed apparatus, and Signor Marconi is working under great difficulties owing to the conditions prevailing here.

Joaquin Miller contri bates an inter? esting article to the current number of the North American Review on the ''Chinese and the Exclusion Act," which contains some startling state? ments as coming from a man on the Pacific coast. In fine, it is that the real proprietors of the Pacific coast want the Chinese and the real work? ing men do not owbject to them. He says that his w7ork as a teacher, talker at teachers institutes, colleges, and so on. in the last four years has taken him into nearly every county in "Wash? ington, Oregon. California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Louisiana, and he has nowhere heard one voice in favor of the Chinese Exclusion Act, but the contrary, at all times and places. He says that the "little brown man is honest and industrious and patielnt and willing ? to do the drudgery at a pitiful cost and that those who enjoy his services are pleas? ed with him and want him to stay. He asserts that he can count letters by hundreds begging that this "brutal exclusion act be not perpetuated. Indeed Mr. Miller says that since the exclusion of the Chinese, property in the larger cities of the Pacific has*, in the main, been at a standstill. That San Francisco has slid back from its proud place as the seventh city in the Union to that of the ninth. He declares that the sentiment against the Chinese proceeds largely from oth? er foreigners who have come in and i from labor agitators. We do not deny anything that Mr. Miller has said in this connection. The Chinaman is honest and patient and industrous aad amiable, and he is willing to do drudgery for small pay. He can be used to advantage and is doubtless used to advantage in the West. But for all that it would be a national folly for us to open our doors to China and let her pour out upon us her surplus population. This is a most inviting field to the Chinese and if we should throw down the bars they would undoubtedly come here in im? mense numbers. Admitting all the good that Mr. Miller says about, the "little brown man" there is one most important fact which he does not men? tion. The Chinaman does not come here with a view to making his home here. He does not come here to be? come an American. He expects to re? main a Chinaman and it is his hope to go back to China, when he shall have accumulated enough wealth to take care of him for the rest of his life, and that, in the Chinaman's estimation, is no fabulous sum. The Chinese in America are Chinese just as they are at home, and they cannot be absorbed and Americanized. There are two excellent reasons for this, the one is that the Chinese do not intend to be absorbed and the oth? er is that the Anglo-Saxon race will not amalgamate either with the brown race or the black race. We recei ve white men and white women of all races and Americanize them and mar? ry and intermarry with them with the net product of more Americans, and sometimes better Americans. But we draw the line at negroes and Chinese. We have a negro problem, which is giving us a great deal of trouble and if we should open our doors to China we should soon have a Chinese problem also. This is a white man's country and must remain so, no mat? ter what view fanatics may take of it. -Richmond Times. UPRISING FE?RED \\\ MANILA. Reviva! of Rebellion Expected by General Chaffes. Pekin, Dec. 1. -A private letter re? ceived here from an American general at Manila, whose position gives his statements the highest authority, says that secret service reports from all the provinces of the Island of Luzon show a remarkable and widespread revival of the spirit of rebellion there. ..; This letter says the American army expects a general outbreak throughout the-Island of Luzon, and is taking vigorous measures to . suppress it. Manila is the centre-of discontent. Gem Chaffee has frequent parades of the garrison through the city's streets to display. American strength, fearing an attempt at a general massacre of Americans. Arrangements have been perfected to concentrate American women and children in the public buildings on short notice. ??ll II a un - linn tins: the Kan sarco. When brought to bay. the kangaroo jumps like a Hash for the hunter's chest and tries to crush it in with his fore feet. To prevent this each man wears across hrs breast a two or throe inch thick matting. Armed with a spear, with a club attachment at the other end, they ride upon swift horses into a herd. With the agility and equipoise of cir? cus riders they stand erect upou their horses and use their spears and clubs. The kangaroo is able to jump clear over a horse. As the game is bagged it is skinned, and the skin is stretched on tho ground and pegged down to pre? vent shrinkage. The flesh furnishes moat for tho camp. Each man places his private mark upon his booty, and when they have 100 apiece they return back to civiliza? tion. There arc 2;> varieties of kanga? roos, among them tho blue, red walla? by, black, gray and forester, the hitter furnishing tho best leather, as it lives maiiily in wooded sect iv.ns. Celluloid. Tho base of celluloid is common pa? per. By action of sulphuric and nitric acids it is changed to gun cotton, then dried, ground and mixed with from *J0 to 40 per cent of camphor, after which it is ground line, colored with powder colors, cast in shoots, pressed very hard and at last baked between sets o? superheated rollers. Soni?i America. Competent authorities assert that Sont li America lias greater undevelop? ed resources than any other portion of tho world. Any crop grown elsewhere can be duplicated there, and the coun? try abounds in mines of coal, silver and gold, most of which have been only slightly developed. The Trans-Alaskan Railway. Denver capitalists have their plans well under way for the Trans-Alaskan Railway, which will start at Iliamna lake and extend to Cape Prince of Wales, where steamers will connect with the Trans-Siberian Railway. The entire length of the road will be 850 miles and it will traverse a coun? try rich beyond the dreams of avarice. An engineer representing the projec? tors has just returned to Denver and makes a report which will arouse new interests in the Alaskan gold fields. He says the country is teeming with gold, that there are vast fields of coal, immense quantities of timber and many indications of oil. Copper is "found in chunks," one piece weigh? ing 60 pounds. Starting at Cook's inlet, wthich is . navigable water, the road will cross the Nushgak river, which is navigable for 600 miles : the Kushowim, which is navigable for 650 miles; the Tana ma, which is navigable for 900 miles, and the great Yukon, which is larger in places than the Mississippi. It will be little more than a ferry ride to cross Bering strait and connect with the Russian Railway. Prince Hilkop, a cousin of the czar, is the head of the Siberian Railway, and is a person? al friend of J. J. Frey, president of the Trans-Alaskan. It is expected that both rai roads will be completed within five years. . Mr. Joseph T. Cornfield, who built the White Pass road, says the Trans Alaskan will be a great money maker. The Whte Pass road paid 60 per cent dividend last year. The construction of this railway will mean the taking out of many millions more of Alaskan gold. Undoubtedly there are vast quantities of it there. This will add to the wealth of the world and help to keep up the good times, which are due in a great meas? ure to the gold finds of Tecent years. t? It means a more systematic search for the precious meta! than has yet been undertaken. The completion of the road will put Uncle Sam in very close touch with his next-door neigh? bor, the czar.-Atlanta Constitution. Exports of Corn. < A Government publication combats the notion that American corn is not popular abroad. On the contrary, it is asserted that it is not only very popular, but that it is increasing in favor every year. In support of this assertion it is shown that in 1891 our exports of corn amounted to only 30,000,000 bushels, of the value of SIT, 000,000. Since that time there has been an enormous iri crease. In the fiscal year 1900 the ex? ports were nearly 210,000,000 bushels, and in the fiscal year 1901 nearly 173, 000,000 bushels. For the present cal? endar year, up to September 1, that is, for eight months, the exports were about 125,000,000 bushelss. The exports before September 1 were, of course, of crops prior to that of the current year. The . short crop of the present and the consequent rise in price will, of coarse, make the ex? ports for the remainder of the fiscal year much smaller than they would otherwise have been. The opinion is expressed, however,* that, owing to the higher price, the money value of the exports may not be decreased. It is an interesting question what is - increasing the demand abroad for corn. Efforts that have been made to teach the people of foreign countries to eat corn bread have not generally been considered very successful. Evidently, however, Europe, which takes nearly all our exported corn, is finding some use for it, if not for human food, in some other way. Great Britain, the largest importer, took 85,003.000 bush? els last vear, Germany 46,000,000, France 5,200,000, and the remainder of Europe 55,000,000 bushels. Whatever the reason, corn has become a very im? portant article of export, and is mani? festly in no disfavor. For the pres? ent we shall not have so much to spare, but another food crop will cor? rect that.-Courier-Journal. Art in The Schools. We are told that in the city of Chic? ago the walls of the . school-rooms are lined ;with good, reproductions of . fa? mous pictures," every school having its supply. I Occasionally exhibits of pic? tures are given,"and a small charge of admission made, and the proceeds are used in buying more pictures. ;. VV.. This question is-also attracting at? tention in New York and an exhibition was held last week in the museum of Teachers' College, under the direction of an artist. The publishers of pic? tures from all over the world sent specimens of their work, suitable for hanging on the walls cf the schools. The purpose of the exhibition was to show the available material and to suggest the proper grouping of sub? jects. There were also specimens of statuary, together with some remarka? ble photographs. This is a most commendable depart? ure and we should be glad to see the suggestion put into practice in the Virginia schools. Every child is im? pressionable and every child is large? ly influenced by its environment. It is therefore a matter of supreme im? portance that when the child's mind is being trained and its character form? ed its surroundings should be as pleas? ant and as inspiring as possible. No one thing will more surely conduce to good results in this direction than an attractive and artistic scohol-room. Pictures are most suggestive and every child will be benefited by acquiring a love for art. Moro than thar, these art exhibits ir. the school-room may be the means of .discovering art talent in this child or that and possibly of developing artists. If the children of this land are educated to love the true, t?ie beautiful and the good, there wiil be a general uplifting of the next generation.- - Richmond Times. -..^ ~- wm- - -- Saras ?"?7O Frssi Dsatii. .
