nouncement that he ha~' not voted for

The reappearance on the English
stage of George Coppin at the age of $8
recalls that of Charles Maeklin at Coy-

age he was physically capable of per-
forming the part with grea~ wgor, but

age of 107.

Why Is Theodore Roosevelt common-
spoken of as the twenty-sixth Pres-
ident of the United States when he is
•mly the twenty-fiftll man to hold that
oWce? Obviously- becauss some one
thoughtlessly spoke of President Cleve-
land, whose two terms of office were
disconnected, as the "twenty-second
-and twenty-fourth President" of the
United States. But in a li~t" of men,
'not of terms of office, should Mr. Clove-
land be assigned two numbers? It is
more ltgiqal to call him the twenty-
,,~eeond President of the United States,
~sllnce he was the same man in both
~ ~a*ms, and accordingly to call Mr.
.'l~.~sevelt the twenty-fifth President.

BEGINNING OF AItGUMENTS IN

which had been given previously and|

Leraly of numerous docnments bearing
upon the different phases of the in-
query, Admiral Schley di~l not make
any material additions to his ,previous
sa~ements, but devoted himself largely
to ~he clearing up of ambi~ous points
in his eveidence.
When the court conventual after recess
the .argument in the ease was begun,
Mr. E. P. Hantm, assistan.¢ ~o Judge
Advocate Len~ly, opening for the gov-
ernltlen*t.
Mr. Hanna told of the arrival of the
flying squadron at Key West and read
a number of preliminary orders to
Commodore Schley. Speaking of the
run of the flying squadron from Key
West to Clenfuegos. Mr. Hanna claim-
ed that the trip was made as expedi-
tiously as possible.
Mr. Hanna then read the order of
Admiral Sampson to Commodore
Schley, dated May 19th, ]898. dlrecting
the later to take steps to prevent the
enemy from continuing work on the
new fortifications at Cienfuegos. "It
does not appear," continued Mr. Han-
na, "that any steps were taken to pre-
vent work on these new fortifica-]
fleas.'. [
Mr. Hanna then took up the third
specification of the 1Fecept, concern-[
~r~g tbe cruise from Clenfuegos to San- ]
mony to the effect that he had not told
the commodore that the Spanish fleet
was not In Santiago, and also gave Ad-
miral Schley's version of the interview,
claiming that Sigsbee did say that the
Spaniards were not here. Captain
Slgsbee was an officer of export'enos
and knew very well that the fact that
he bad not seen the fleet was not evi-
dence that the fleet was not there• If
Captain Sigsbee had said positively
the fleet was not on ft~e inside Com-
modore Schley should have refused to
accept it as utterly illogical.
q'mntinuing, Mr. Hanna said: "l
should think.that if Commodore Sehley
had received information that set his
mind at rest sufficiently to warrant his
turning his squadron back toward
Key West. convinced him conclusively
that the Spanish fleet was not there,
i~e would surely have stated that in
his next telegram to the department."
At this point Mr. Hanna took up
specification four. referring to the ret-
rograde movement. He said that in
making this move Commodore Schley
had n~t only taken away from Santi-
ago the fighting ships of the flying
squadron, but also the scout vessels
located there by the government to
watch the mouth of the harbor.
"During this time." he said. "the
gates of the harbor were left entirely
unguarded, and it was not our fault
that Cervera's fleet did not get away
without being destroyed."
DENVER UNIVERSITY
NEEDS MORE MONEY
Denver, Nov. 5.--Chancellor Henry
k. Buchtel is now engaged in a search
for some Interested friend of the Uni-
versity of Denver who will donate $10,-
000 to save University hall. the main
building of the institution, from being
sold November 25th to satisfy overdue
interest to the amount of $6,000 on a
principal of $50.000.
"This is a critical period in the his-
tory of the university," said Chancellor
Buchtel last evening. "If we fail to
raise this money the building will be
sold, which would be a severe blow to
Denver as well as to our institution•
We must have the money a~ once, and
it is evident that if we can turn this
corner we will soon be out of our per-
ils forever.
The facts of our embarrassment are
these: The Mack estate of Boston
holds a mortgage of $50.000 on Uni-
versity hall. on which there is inter-
eat of $6,000 overdue for two yearn.
The university has paid a trifle over
$5,000 overdue interest in eighteen
montlm, but the trustees of the Mack
estate now'demand that all the over-
due interest be paid at once as well as
$10,000 principal, which makes it neces-
sary to at once secure $16,000 by No-
vember 25th.
"Of this amount we have conditional
promises which cover the $6,000 Inter-
est, but we still need $10200. The uni-
versity makes no resistance to the
claim, and it is making every effort to
obtain the money this week.
"Last year the university debt was
reduced $25,000, bringing it down to
$150,000. During the same period the
student bcdy increased In number from
630 to 878, and this year w.e have 1,000
students in all the schools of the instl.
tution, and 114 professors. The total
property of the university is worth
more than $750,000, including twelve
buildings costing $330,000. In addi-
tion the university has lots at Univer-
sity Park worth more than $200,000.
These are for sale at from $250 tO $400

PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION
CLOSES VERY HEAVILY IN DEBT
BuffaL, N. Y., Nov. 2.--The Pan-
American exposition ended at 12
o'clock last night. At midnight Presi-
dent John G. Milburn pressed an elec-
tric button, and the lights in the fa-
mous electric tower grew dim for the
last time. Slowly one by one the lights
on post and pinnacle and tower faded.
k corps of buglers standing in the tow-
er sounded "taps," one of the greatest
glories of the exposition, the electrical
illumination, passed away, and the ex-
position was ended.
The exposition has not been a finan-
cial success, but it is believed the ben-
efits derived from it will be of great
value to the commercial intersts of the
country. The primary object of the ex-
position was to advance the friendl
relations and commercial intercourse
between the United States and the oth-
er countries of the two Americas. In
this respect It has been a decided suc-
eel.
The financial loss will be in the neigh-
borhood of $3,000,000. The statement
to be issued by the officers of the expo-
sttion setting forth the expenditures
and receipts wUl be made public some
time this month. Until then the com-
pany will make no formal statement.
zue loss will fall upon the holders of
the common stock, the holders of sec-
ond mortgage bonds and the contract-
ors who erected the buildings. Two
hundred and ten thousand shares of
common stock were sold at $10 a share•
The stock was subscribed for by the
citizens of Buffalo and the Niagara
frontier in small lots of from one share
to 100, so that ~the loss will not be seri-
ot~y felt by any one.
No complaint has been heard from
the holders of common stock, who ap-
preciate the benefit the exposition has
,been to the city. There is also a feel-
!lug of satisfaction that the enterprise
was carried to a successful end with-
out state or federal aid.
The first mortgage bonds, amounting
to $2,500,000, will be paid in full. An
issue of $500,000 second mortgage
bonds is unprovided for, but the reve-
nue from salvage on the buildings and
from other sources will probably cover
a part of this indebtedness. The re-
mainder due to contractor's is not defi-
nitely known, but it is said that it rep.
resents their profits for the work done,
and no one will be seriously embarrass-
ed by the lass.
The total number of admissions for
the six month.~ was close to 8,000,000.
An average of 2,,000200 a month had
been figured on by the expo~ltion offi-
cials. The great snowstorm of last
April was a severe blow to the exposi-
tion. An immense amount of work
was undone, and work on the grounds
and buildings was delayed for a week.
Strennous efforts were made to make
up the lost time, b~t May 1st a Vast
amount of work remained undone, and
the formal opening of the exposition
was postponed until May 20th.
The lamentable tragedy in the Tem-
ple of Music was another blow to the
Pan-American. The attendance had
been increasing steadily up to the date
of the assassination of President Mc-
Kinley. The gates were closed for two
days, and when they reopened there
was a drop of twelve per cent. in the
attendance, and no improvement fol-
lowed.
The government exhibit, which is
beautiful and instrtlctive collection,
will be at once shipped to Charleston.
There was a good deal of.petty thiev-
ing on the last night and a lively riot
on the Midway.
