The World's Paris correspondent nsked the king of the Belgians ten days ago if the report that he intended to touch at Florida during his yachting crulse next winter was true. King Leopold, who was on one of his frequent visits to the gay capital incognito, answered “It is one of my plans. But | have always many plans ahead to choose from.

The royal party received a serie hearty ovations. At St. Catharine’s the school children sang patriotic songs as the train pulled into the station. Lady Miuto, wite of the governor general, was one of tho firet to grect their royal highnesses when the train stopped at Hamilton. The duke, as on many similar occasions in Canada, wore the uniform of the Royal Irish Fusileers. He and the duchess were met by Mayor Hendrie and escorted to car- riages amid the chears of the crowds and driven to the city hali, where loyal ad- dresses were presented. An interesting feature of the occasion was the appearance of Chief Bell of the Indlan reserve, who insisted on his loyalty while he held the hands of the duke and Auchess for a considerable time. At the close of the ceremony the royal procession reformed and proceeded (o “Holmsted,” the home of Mr. William Hendrie, In the afternoon the Thirteenth battalion recelved a new set of colors from the duke. This ceremony was one of the most impos- ing of any on the roval tour. The royal party left for Brantford, Strat- ford and Woodstock at 4 o'clock, the gove ernor's general section of the train leaving shortly atterward for Toronto. A short stop was made at this point and afterward tha train left for Belleville, where both sec- tons remained for the night. of FRENCH MINERS ARE DIVIDED Forty Thousand the Strike PARIS, miners’ Oct referendum 40,000 voted in favor of it and 10.000 cast 14.—~The result of the coal on the strike is that thelr votes against it. did not vote. ‘The announcement of the result renders it extrmely doubtful whether the long-talked- of strike will break out November 1 and Indicates the general feeling of the miners.

Stripling, who has been here several days investigating the labor troubles, espe- clally the recent deportation of Resistencia strike leaders, and with a view to adjueting the differences, made his report to the at torney general at Washington today. He describes in detall the trouble between the striking cigarmakers and the manufacturers and declures “the gravity of the situation can scarcely be overstated.” The report reads “Upon my arrival at Tampa | met a com- mittee und requested their co-operation in | ferreting out violations of the laws of the | United States, It was generally admitted that a number of the promincnt leaders of the strike had been compelled to leave Tampa. It wae also reported that strikers had compelled &, number of their fellows to leave on account of the influence they were wielding for the cession of the strike, | but I was unable to find individuals con« ne 1 with this lawlessness. I conferred freely with members of the Board of Trade, with representative citizens and with mem- bers of the Reglstencia union, which is con- ducting the strike, but was unable to obtain evidence of the violation of the law." The district attorney then deals with the | differences between the employers and the men, declaring that strikeg have been fre- | quently ordered from “frivolous canses and charging that the purpose of the Res sistencia union “seemed to be not only to control manufacturing artleles in Tampa, but to control every other bueiness. The union was so oppressive and bad gone to such a length that finally, when the strike was declared, almost every man not connected with the union rose up, declaring | that the work of the Hesistencia had al- ready gone too far.'’ The district attorney concludes portant concessions could be n “Unim- e on either Today.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—~Today in the Schley court of inquiry Judge Advocate Lemly concluded presentation of testimony for the government and the first of Admiral Schley's witnesses was introduced Captain Francis A. Cook, who commanded Admiral (then Commodore) Schley's flag #hip Hrooklyn during the Santiago cam palgn and who acted, though unofcially, in the capacity of chief of staff for the com- modore, was on the witness stand the greater part of the day Lieutenant Heale was the last of the gov- rnment witnesses, although Captain Lemly explained that he would reserve the right to call others If occasion should demand that he do so. had no sooner retired than for Admiral Schley was This proved to be the Cuban pilot, Nunez, who told Schley on May that he did not beliove the Spanish under Cervera was in the harbor at tiago Captain Cook's testimony was a review of the entire campaign after Cervera's fleet, boginning with the departure of the flying squadron from Key West on May 19 and concluding with the battle off Santlago July 3. He said that at first it had been believed by both Sampson and Schiey that the Spanish fleet was in the harbor at Clenfuegos and that no information to the contrary had been conveyed to Commodore Schley until the arrival of Captain Mc- Calla on May 24 that it was Commodors Schley's expectation to meet the Spaniard in the open sea and his constant care was to have conl enough for such emergency He gave particulars concerning the retro- grade movement and explained Brooklyn's loop In connestion with a graphic accovit of the engagement cof Juiy & Ports Helm on Own Rosponsibility, the first called Referring back to certain points in this story, Admirnl Dewey said: “You state you heard the commodore say at one time ‘Hard aport.’ That was after you had begun io make the tura ang (he helm was hard aport?”’ “Yes, the helm was aport, but not hard aport. There was perfect understanding between the commodore and myself." “1 will ask If your recollection is clear as to whether the helm was put hard aport by vourself first or that you d1d it in obedi- ence to an order from the commodore?” “I gave the order on my OWn responsi- billty. No question about that. It was not after having heard the commodore. He cabed out to me, as I have stated, which I now think was simply to confirm himeelt in the idea that it was turning with a hara aport helm.” “At that time did you hear any con- versation between the commodore and the navigator?" “1 did not.” “Did you ses any torpedo boats?” “1 did not."” “Were you afraid of being rammed at the time the turn was being made?™ “No. There was something said about it, but 1 did not give it a second thought, trom the fact that 1 knew they could not ram unless they got within my turning eirel “Were you afraid of blanketing the fire of our fleet by turning one way or the other?" “We might have done it by turning the other wa Loop Prevents Ramming. “Had you turned with a etarboard in- stead of a port helm, would such action have advanced you so far as to bring you within the line of movement of the ene- my's ships?" “Provided they had taken it; that is to eay, if they had continued on their course southwest, straight for | us, and we had turned so as to bring them within our turning circle, it would have made ramming possible, certainly.” “How were they heading when this or- der aport was given?" hey were heading southweet.” “Were they then headed ¥o that had you advantage ot gone the other way they would have dis- covered the movement?” “Yes, I think they would. The chart dis- tance given at the time was 1,100 yards. 1 estimate 1,600 yards and so made it in my report. In the first place we must have lost by ehifting helm at such a time. Then it we had turned the other way we must have gone 700 yards. They would not have bad much distance to run to get entirely within our turning circle.” “That is all conjecturing. Mr. Hanna—What was the conduct and bearing of Commodore Schley under fire on such occasions, as you had the oppor- tunity of observing? “I always regarded him as an enthusiast; tcally brave and patriotic officer. Nover in any other way.' At this point the court took its usual recess for luncheon He Never Condemned Tex. Continuing his statement after the noon recess, Captaln Cook sald he recalled a brief conversation between Lieutenant Hodgson and himself concerning Texas while Brooklyn was making its famous loop. He said that on that occasion Hodg- son had called his attention to xas and that he had replied, saying ho saw the ves- #el, which Hodgson had afterward told him had entirely reassured him. He had never himself used the expression, “Damn Texas," to Hodgson. In reply to a ques tion by the court Captain Cook sald that when the flylng squadron started out from Key West both Sampson and Schley thought the Spanish fleet was at Clen fuegos, that the strange conduct of Adula increased that impression and that (hey had thought the Aring of guns there in- | dicated the presence of the enemy there He also sald that Commodore Schiey w enthusiastic over being sent to the south- ern coast of Cuba.
