CLASH OCCURS WITH JUDGE ADVOCATE Aay Argument Diftere in However, nnd Rayner roceeds to Thrilling . Peacenbly ed, 'ON, 6.~The climax of court of inquiry came this afi- ernoon when Mr. Rayner, the chief counsel | for Admiral Schley, concluded brilllant argument of over three hours with a peror- atlon %o eloguent and lmpassioned that all within the sound of his voice were pro- foundly touched This remarkable trial, he said. sought to condemn the man who had brought (o w succersful termination as great a naval trlumph as was ever won. In vivid colors he paloted the picture of Brooklyn with Commodore Schley on the bridge fighting the entire Spanish fleet until the Oregon appeared out of the smoke. The thunders of Brooklyn, music for the ears of his countrymen, he sald, aroused Admiral Schley's envious foes. He plctured the vie- torieus satlor suffering as few have suffered for three long years while the fires of per- secution leaped around him and now await- ing the hour of his vindication in the ver- dict of the court, “And when it comes,” he concluded, “he can, from the high and exalted position that he occuples, look down upon his tra @ducers and maligners and with excellent pride exclaim ‘I care not for the venomous gossip of clubs, drawing rooms and cliques and the polsoned shafts of envy and of malice. I await under the guidance of Divine providence the verdict of poster- ity ‘The scene {n the courtroom as he finished with these words was thrilllug. The at- tendance had been large all day and at the morning session a woman had fainted from excitement. As Mr. Rayner began his eulogy of Admiral Schley those in the andience, many of whom were women, leaned forward in their seats. The spell of his ogptory was over them and when he de- scribed the admiral’s gallant deeds and the long persecution to which he had been subjected many of them broke down and wept. Eloquence Wo The members of ihe court displayed evi- Mences of emotion and A‘l!kfl Schley him- It was moved. “He sat, leaning back, with his hands behind his hea His chin twitched and as his counsel sald he could aftord to awalt the verdict of pos- terity, two big tears rolled down his cheeks. He moved uneasily to conceal his emotion and under the pretense of adjusting his glasees, brushed the tears aside. For fully thirty seconds after Mr. Rayner closed there not a sound. Then the tension broke in a loud burst ot applause. Admiral Dewey, after about half a.min- ute, arose to remind the spectators that #uch a demonstration was out of place. A moment afterward the court adjourned, the judge advocate pleading that he coull not well go on today. Then another re markable thing happened. As soon as the gavel fell the entire audience surged for- ward to shake the hands of Admiral Schlcy and Mr. Rayner. But the oncoming spectators fell back a moment as they saw Admiral Dewey and his two a tants move around the table. #s if by common impulse, and congratulate Admiral Schley and his counsel. Kven Capthin Lemly, the judge advocate, cam» forward to Jjoin in the congratulations. Then the public had its inning and for fifteen minutes after the court adjourned Admiral Schley and Mr. Rayner were kept busy shaking hands, Argument Occuples the Day. Mr. Rayner's argument today consumed the whole day of the court, except for half an hour at the opening, which Captain Parker, his assoclate coun: occupled in concludin Mr. Rayner took up the specifications, one by one, reserving those relating to the retrogade movement until the last. So far us he was able (o do so he used the testi- mony of the department's witnesses to prove his contentions. With regard to the retrograde movement, which he discussed | with greater lousness than the other specifications, be adduced in justification not only all of Admiral Schie: Teasons for mot belleving the Spanish fleet in San- tlago, but argued that every officer charged with command necessarily must be clothed with discretion in carrying out instrue tlons. He displayed good temper in ad- verting to the testimony of most of the ofcers, capecially the ranking officers, who seemed to contradict his client, giving them in each case crédit for honesty of purpose, but with a few he dealt \insparingly. Potts and Bristol he held up to ridicule. Captaln Lemly will begin the closing ar- Kument tomorrow afternoon, as the court will not hold & session tomorrow mornin; Captain Parker minutes and was followed by Mr. Rayner. Captain Parker maintained that the block- ade of Santiago was effective. He defended Commodore Schley 81, saying he bad acted wisely in determin- ing the actual conditions. In this line of poliey he sald that Commodore Schley's conduct was alleled by that of Admiral | /‘Dewey in Aslatic waters when the latter re- mained for several days in Mirs bay. Re- garding the loop made by Brooklyn Captain Parker declared it was the wisest movement that cowld have been made. All talk about Brooklyn going to the southward he char- acterized as “‘moonshine.’ Rayner Sta Sehley's Tears. Mr, Rayner began bis argument at 11 M. m. Ho pald a compliment to Judge Ad- vocate Lemly and his assistant, Mr. Hanoa, for the “most judicial impartiality with which they have managed this case.'” Mr, Rayver made a plea for the consideration of questions from what was at that time Commodore Schley's point of view. “Let s, be sald, “put ourselves In his place and see what the circumstances were then. We all know now what it would have been wise o do. Mr Rayner roferred satirically testimony of Lieutenant Bristol (Continued on Third Fage.)

COLUMBLU With almost com- plete returns in tonight it is noted that the republican plurality beats all records | In What has become known as the “quad- rennfal off year” and with two exceptions the records of other years. On the off yoars, or thoxe following a presidential slection, the democrats have generally car- ried Ohio, the exceptions being In 1881, atter the death of Garfield, and in 1885 and 1893, after the Cleveland elections. In two of (hese three exceptional years the president was a democrat and those were considered off vears, for the demo- crats. With the single exception of Houd- ley in 1853 the democrats never elected a governor of Ohio in any other than off years since the republican party was or- ganized and then they won on a local issue of liquor taxation. Whereyer local lssues were paramount this year the republicans sustained losses, notably at Columbus, on account of local option, aud at Cleveland on account of Mayor Johnson's agitation of “‘taxation in- equalities.” Where no such conditions tronted the republicans made gains. They carried some democratic counties that never bofore were represented by repub- licans. The state was carried on natigpal fs- sues, involved In the support of President Roosevelt and the endorsement of Senator Foraker for re-election. In interviews Senator Hanna, Governor Nash and Chair- man Dick of the republican side and Mr. Kllbourne, Chatrman Daugherty and Secre- tary Gilllam on the democratic side, agree that the result was due to the trend of sentiment on national affairs. None of these leaders or others interviewed on the result referred to the silver question tactor In the contest. Chalrman Daugherty added with empha- sis: “I believe the republican success is due to the assassination of McKinley and the prevailing prosperty Secretary Gilllam said: “The sympathy aroused by McKinley's death, just before | the election, removed tlat antagonism | which always exists among the opposition | to the administration.

The physicians who visited LI Hung | Chang at 10 o'clock last night found him in good spirits, but extremely weak, as a resnlt of sitting up and working in deflance of their instructions. When they called this morning they found him unconscious | and tinking rapidly. It was announced at noon that Li Hurg Chang could hardly live three hours longer. Burial ¢ In hes Put On. The burial clothes havé already been put on. The courtyard of the yamen is filled with life-size paper horses and chairs, with coolie bearers, which his friends are send- Ing 1o be burled with Li Hung Chang, in order to carry his soul to hea Severai of 'the mnisters of the powers have called to express sympathy. Uneasy Concerning Effect. | The Chinese officials are somewhat un- | eney concerning the effect his death will have on the populace, and to guard sgainst @ possible anti-foreign demonstration the Chinese generals have disposed of their troops about the city in such a way as to | command the situation. Trouble, however, | 18 extremely improbable. The wife of Barl Li and his two sons and daughter re with him. Thoy are greatly Adistressed. Chinese officials throng the yamen. Telo- grams have been sent summoning Prince Ching, who is now on his way to meet the court, and Chou Fu, provincial treasurer, from Pao Ting Fu. The former will as- sume the general charge of governmental affairs and the latter will act as governor of Chi-Li until Li Hung Chang's successor in that office, who will probably be Yuan Shi Kal, is appointed. American Dingnosis of C Robert Coltman, an Amerlcan, who is one of the physicians attending Earl Li, told the Associated Press today that when he was called he found the patient very weak from a severe hemorrhage, due to ulcera- tion of the stomach. The hemorrhage was readily controlled, sald Dr. Coltman, but owing to the under- Iying condition of chronic gastritis only ‘the mildest liquid food could be taken. Yesterday he was cheerful and without pain, but at 2 o'clock this morning he be- came unconacious and was no longer able 10 get rid of the collection of mucous which he had been freely expectorating. Death was ‘expected shortly, owing to symptoms super- vening upon gradual carbonic acid poison- ng Throughout the evening digitalis was trequently edmjnistered. - Bagl Li's per- sistent retusals to refrain from aftending to government business aggravated his ma ady, while the refusal of the tamily to per- mit certain measures customary in western medical practice for relieving the stomach contributed to bring his end near. United States’ Interests. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—The death of this distinguished Chinaman will Dot, it is belleved here, eftect the ex- | ecution of the undertakings Imposed upon China 1a the protocol. Certainly the United States' interests will not be involved Qirectly, for all that remains to be done at Pekin in which our government is in- terested 1w the preparation of trade and commercial treatles and their lines have been 8o clearly marked that the work to be done is almost mechanical and is not likely to be retarded by Li Hung Chang's death. A change in the Manchurian situation is likely on the death of Li Hung Chang and the United States has a very considerable Interest in the outcome of that matter. Li Hung.Chang 1s regarded here as strongly pro-Russian and It 1s possible. that his death and the coming Into power in China, as the divector of foreign affairs, of another prince, less friendly to Russia, might hasten the day when Russia must relax its hold upon Manchuria and allow the country to be opened up to the commerce of the world.

This state- ment was made yesterday by a member of the Harriman syndicate and by James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern rail- road. Many minor detalls remain ungettled, however, and it is pessible some of the main features may be slightly modified. Tt is ex- pected, nevertheless, that the plan in its entirety will be completed by the end of the | nresent week. The principal features of the settlement plan are the reorganization of the stock holding company and the decision not to re- tire the Northern Pacific prefeered stock The latter proposition was the one on which centered the major part of the discussion, and, it is stated, the contention of the Union Pacific interests that permanent peace could only be reached by a true rec- ogpition of their rights finally won, In the new stockholding company, by which the varlous stock Issues are to be funded, the former contending interests will be equally represented. The Northern Pacific directors will meet next week (o act on the dividend and they will probably con- sider t1is question in its relation to the set- tlement.
