Mr. Scovel said that while on the press boat Somers N. Smith as a newspaper correspondent on May 27 or 28 it came up with the St Paul,, of which Captain Sigsbee was in com* - > mand, off the shore of Santiago. There was a conversation with Captain Sigs* bee through the -megaphone and h» himself had uged the megaphone in conducting the interview. The witness said the Somers N. Smith was about seventy-five or a hundred feet from the St. Paul during the conversation. Karl Bail all la Married. Earl Russell and Mrs. Somervllle were married at the registry office in London Thursday. The matrimonial difficulties of Earl Russell have been aired in the English courts many times. He secured a divorce from his first wife, who still goes by the name of Countess Russell, in Nevada last April, and promptly married Mollie Somervllle, who had secured a divorce from her Scottish husband at the same time and In the same state. A ques­ tion was raised in England as to th® validity of the Earl's American de­ cree. He was tried as a peer in the House of Ix>rds and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. The cere­ mony just performed in London legiti­ mizes his second marriage. Tom of Silver Is MU«ln(. A ton of siver bullion mysteriously disappeared from the Criminal Court­ room at Omaha. The silver figured as an exhibit in a junk stealing case, and had been left in the courtroom await­ ing such time as the proper owners should claim it. The junk dealers were acquitted on a charge of having bought stolen property. The smelter, to which the bullion is said to have belonged, took no steps to recover it, and the court had no power to remove It. When court was convened Thurs­ day morning the silver was gone. The janitor says a dray drove up to the building Wednesday night, and thai four men carried the bars away. Judge Baker is much perplexed and is tak­ ing steps to locate the metal. Awbo II. Aukalta Keeper. Jumbo II., said to be the largest ele­ phant in captivity, became furious in his quarters at the exposition grounds in Buffalo and nearly killed his keep­ er. Henry Mullen. The animal is al­ ways kept tightly chained, and when Mullen was at work in the elephants' stall the beast seized him in his trunk and hurled him to the floor. He tried vainly to trample on the keeper, but the chains held fast, although some of the stakfs to which they were fastened were broken. It was impossible for him to step on Mullen or to gore him, so the elephant lashed him with his trunk. Mullen is now in the Eme g?n- cy hospital with four broken ribs, a broken ankle and severe wounds about the head and face. He will recover. il *£.? rire Started by RoSbec*. Larnedl Kas., telegram: Shell's big livery barn was burned, together with twenty-five head of horse3 and a large lot of buggies and harness. At. the same time the Santa Fe railroad safe was blown to pieces with dynamite and the depot badly wrecked. It is be­ lieved the safe blowers set the livery •table on fire in order to attract the crowd to another part of town while they worked on the Santa Fe safe. Over a dozen shots were exchanged between the robbers and citizens who rushed to the depot. In the) dnrirnagq and confusion the robbers; escaped. They secured no booty. (' Nation to Control Toxin. The deaths resulting from the us* of anti-toxin at St. Louis has strength­ ened the impression among the Na­ tional Live Stock association that the general government ought to have the entire matter of anti-toxins In chartt. Dr. Charles Oresswell, the veterlnarlun of the association, has been requested at Denver to draw up a resolution on the subject. This resolution will be presented before the National Live Stock convention next month in Chi­ cago, and a fight will be made to se­ cure national legislation this winter. Washington dispatch: The hands of the elongated antique timepiece which stands against the wall in the hall oc­ cupied by the Schley court of inquiry pointed to 12:45 o'clock in the after­ noon when Judge Advocate Lemly an­ nounced that he had no more witness­ es to call, and Mr. Rayner, following him, said that no witnesses would be summoned on bebalf of Admiral Schley la sur-rebuttal. For a moment it ap­ peared as if the famous ca^e was about to reach a sudden conclusion, but this delusion was soon dissipated by the anounceinent by Captain Lemly that he might ask to be allowed to bring in one more witness on this week and a statement that Admiral Schley him­ self woufd desire to return to the stand again to correct errors la his evidence as officially reported. Sehley Upon the Stand Monday. There is probability that the Admir­ al will consume considerable time in going over the printed record of what he said, and there is also an under­ standing that he will make some ad­ ditions to his former statements, but It is not believed that beyond what he may have to say there will be much more testimony taken In the case. The only witness the judge advocate still has in mind is Lieutenant Strauss, and Captain Leinly said today that if his attendance could be secured he would detain the court for only a short time. Captain Sigsbee will also return to the stand for the purpose of making corrections in, the testimony given Friday by him. These de­ tails completed, the argument of coun­ sel will begin, and then counsel and the public will withdraw and leave the coutf to Its deliberations. The task before the court is not a light one, and it may be weeks before the final verdict will be reached. The members of the tribunal are evidently prepar­ ing to devote considerable time to the consideration of the testimony, for they have taken rooms in the city for this purpose. The testimony covers 1,600 printed pages, and the court has sat thirty-six days in listening to it. With the additions yet to be made In the way of arguments and docu­ ments the record will probably run over' 1,700 pages. The day's witnesses were Sylvester Scovel, a former newspaper corre­ spondent, who saw service in the Cuban campaign; Lieutenant John Hood, who commanded the Hawk dur- Slffftbee And Spanish Fleet. "Give us as nearly as you can the words of that conversation," said Cap­ tain Lemly. We had been sent to find Commo­ dore Schley, and the first question of course was 'Where is Schley?* The answer from Captain Sigsbee was: 'You will find him in the Yucatan pas* sage.' Then, inasmuch as our boat was very slow, I asked him to advise me whether he thought we could catch Commodore Schley if we fol­ lowed him. and he stated 'Yes.'" "The second question was, 'Where is Cervera?' In answer to that Cap tain Sigsbee did not speak for a mo ment. He consulted with somebody^; on the bridge of the ship and then answered: 'I am not sure, but ire caught an English collier trying to sneak Into the harbor this morning.' That was all the csnvcrsstion i re­ member to have had with Captain Sigsbee personally. Other men on the boat bad some conversation with him." "Did Captain Sigsbee during any time of the conversation inform you that the Spanish sqnadron was not In Santiago?" "He did not tell us that the Span­ iards were not there." On cross-examination Mr. Scovel said he had been at the megaphone only a part of the time. He could not say whether others on board the press boat had talked with Captain Sigsbee. •Then," asked Mr. Rayner, "are you prepared to say on your oath that no one in your boat asked Captain Sigsbee whether Cervera was not in the harbor at Santiago?" , -H) : -*r" May Rave Talked to "It is possible," was the reply, "that a conversation might have taken place on the part of some one else, but as the Smith was a small boat and as conversation must necessarily be in a loud tone of voice I think I would have beard it if there bad ^een any." "Are you then prepared to say that the testimony of Mr. Hare, in which hs said that Captain Sigsbee had said that the Spanish were not at Santiago, la false?" "No. I am not prepared to say that his statement is false, and that no such conversation took place, but I can swear that nothing of the kind was said while I was conducting the con­ versation, and I conducted the princi­ pal part of it."

Mrs. Anna Edson Taylor, the woman who went over Niagara Falls in a barrel the other day and escaped un­ harmed save for the shock to her nerves, was 43 years old on the day she took her plunge to world-wide notoriety. Mrs. Taylor is a native of Auburn, N. Y. At 17 she was married to a young medical student, who left her a widow when she was 20. Since that time she has earned a livelihood for herself, principally as an instruct­ or in dancing. She is an Intelligent and amiable woman. It was while in Bay City, Mich., that she conceived countermanded or postponed. It would imply that the government has re­ ceived news from Constantinople since morning which has not yet been di­ vulged and which has induced a change of plan. It was reported that Admiral Caillard had been ordered to cruise within reach of a dispatch boat today for possible further instructions, and it is significant that the torpedo boat destroyer Hallebardo left Toulon 'at. full speed during the afternoon to re join the squadron. A dispatch from Toulon to the Figaro confirms the re­ port of the return of the entire squad­ ron and adds that Admiral Caillard's division is still held in readiness to saH at a moment's notice. Editorially the Figaro and other morning papers ex­ press surprise at this perplexing and unexplained move after the dispatch of Admiral Caillard to the Levant had been officially announced. The decis­ ion to make a naval demonstration against Turkey was taken at a meeting of the cabinet Tuesday, at which M. Delcasse, the minister cf foreign af­ fairs, explained the sultan's procrasti­ nation regarding the French demands and the quay disputes. Strength of French Fqaadron. Admiral Caillard's squadron consists of the armored cruisers Admiral Pothuau, Chanzy and Latouehe-Tre- vllle; the second-class cruisers Du Chayla and Cassard, and the third- class cruiser Galilee. Th? crews ag­ gregate 2,286 men, but the vessels will also carry landing parties. The news­ papers approve the government's de­ cision. The Journal des Debats says: "Everyone at Constantinople and the other capitals must be aware that France and Russia are comp'etely in accord on this matter.
