taken place aboard the Brooklyn when
the loop was made during the naval en
gagement ofT Santiago. With the ex
ception of the last two counts, the
others practically sum up the criti
cisms of Admiral Schley’s conduct
made by Secretary Long to the senate,
which the secretary characterized a*
Schley’s "reprehensible conduct.” One
of the Important points In the pre
cept Is the direction to the court to re
port In Its conclusions* "all the perti
nent acts which It may deem to bo
established, together with Its opinion
and recommendations in the premises.”
Secretory Long made the following
statement about the precept: "It is
simply an enumeration of the facts
that have been, to use the applicant’s
own words, ‘under discussion;’ they
are referred to informally and sug
gested to the court as matters which
have been under discussion and, as
euch, should be inquired into by them.
They are enumerated In accordance
with the general rulo that when in
quiry Is made the person interested
should have notice beforehand as far
ns possible of all the specific things
about which Inquiry Is likely to be
made.” •
Judge Advocate General Lemly, w»;o
woa designated as Judge advocate gen
eral of the court today, now will pro
ceed with the preparation of his case.
He will examine all document** and
prepare a list of witnesses. The court
probably will sit for some months,
more than likely until congress con
venes In December.
Judge Lemly has not yet decided who
the witnesses before the court shall be.
They may bo taken from the navy,
from the army, or from civil life—for
undoubtedly some of the newspaper
correspondents will.be called In this
case. It Ij* even probable. In view of
the recently published Interview of
C*pt. Eulnte, of the Spanish navy, that
he and Admiral Cervera himself will he
called If Admiral Schley desires It. Of
course, the court of Inquiry has no au
thority to compel their attendance and
It to more doubtful whether they would
respond to a summons, but the oppor
tunity will be afforded.
No word has been received from Ad
miral Kimberly, who it was reported
had written to the department saying
that hts health made It lnadvlsible for
him to attempt to verve on the court.
Ho will not be officially notified of hl»
•election as a member of the court
until he receives the precept which was
mailed to him today. A copy of the
precept also will he sent to Admiral
Dewey and Rear Admirals Benham and
Boh ley.
Thex precept to the court Is an fol
lows:

quest of Rear Admiral Winfield 8.

WASHINGTON. July 26.—The de
tailed figures of the foreign commerce

total exports $1,487,765,657, exports cf
domestic product* 61,460,453,809.
The imports by great classes in tho
fiscal year 1901 are a<s follows:
Articles of food and^ animals $222,-
227,898.
Articles* in a crude con-dlton for use
in domestic industry $269,763,404.
Articles wholly or partially manu

Products of the fisheries $7,743,313.
Miscellaneous $4,561,278.
Each of those great classes*, except

of flguree showing exports to Hawaii
and Porto Rico, which are estimated at
about $25,000,000 for the year, and very
largely consisted of manufactures. In
cotton cloths there was a reduction,
due to the temporary suspension of ex
ports to China, to which the exporta
tions of cotton cloths fell from 182,023.-

to 83.859,402 yards, valued at $4,552,531

wore $631,266,263 in 1901, against $533,-
819.545 in 1900. the total Increase being
nearly 100.000,000, of which over 60,000,-
000 waa In cotton, about 15.000.000 in

the former record of 2:03 1-4, held by

The circumstances connected with
la remarkable performance were any
thing but conducive to fast lime, as
Ing to the heavy rains of last night

After having been glv»n several pre

Impossible feat. Ketchum
nodded for the word on tho third score,
the horse trottllng like a machine.
Accompanied by a runner tho chest

the timers’ watches registering Just 20
seconds.
As Cresceus swung Into tho back
