'Well done; congratulate you on the victory," was the streamer that was bent from the hal yard of the Brooklyn, and from that dav to this no man has ever heard from Admiral Schley the slightest whisper or Intimation that he has usurped the glory of that hour.

S. C. Swallow, from all ministerial services and church privileges until the ensuing annual Conference." This is the veralet made public yesterday by the Committee of the Marrlsburg District of the Central Pennsylvania Methodist Conference, which has been investigating the charge of falsehood made against Dr. Silas C. Swallow by the Rev.

C. Hartzell, pastor of the St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church, of this city. It Is signed by the following committee of ministers: Revs. W.

Accuser Expresses Sympathy, Mr. Hartzell said yesterday, speak ing' ot tlie verdict: "I am sorry for Dr. Swallow, but I had to bring the charge against him to clear my character of the stain of his accusations." Me further said that he would remember Dr. Swallow in his prayers, and suggested; "Like the penitent thief, let him turn to the Lord and beg for mercy." Specifications Sustained.

The specifications sustained by the committee included insinuations and representations by Dr. Swallow as follows: That Hartzell had been a "candidate" for supcrintendency of Methodist Book Rooms; that he was a "defeated candidate" for same; that he "has been an aspirant for the supcrintendency of the Methodist Book Rooms;" that he was attempting to r.upplant Dr. Swallow as superintendent: that Mr. Hart tried to incite a rabble to mob Dr. Swallow on the night of McKinley's death; that he tried to incite a rabl.de to destroy Dr.

Swallow's property on the same occasion, and that the expense of printing ami distributing the circular issued by Mr. Hartzell had been paid by public money, misappropriated by public officials." Dr. Swallow was assisted in his de fence by Rev. Dr. Powick, of the Philadelphia Conference, Suspension Effective at Once.

Dr. Swallow's suspension from ministerial services and church privileges takes effect immediately, and continues until the annual meeting of the Conference, when that body will make final disposition of the matter. Crusades of Dr. Swallow. Dr.

Swallow started a crusade in his paper, the Methodist, against the Quay organization during the Legislature of 1897, and was arraigned before the bar of the Senate for contempt. Following this proceeding he was prosecuted on several charges of criminal libel and found guilty of one, and a new trial ordered by the Superior Court. A verdict of not guilty, but pay the costs, was rendered in one other of the suits, and nothing was done with the other, after the Superior 'ourt decision. Swallow was nominated for State Treasurer by the Prohibitionists in 1S97 and polled 120,000 votes. The following year he was the nominee for Governor of the Prohibition and Good Government parties against Stone, and polled over 80,000 votes.

Last fall he was the candidate of the Christian Advance party for President. He held a charge in the Central Pennsylvania Methodist Conference IMITATIONS. Johann Hoffsrialt Extract. Sole Agents. New York II of it St.

Kayner said "Is a commanding otlicer away from home to be stripped of every prerogative that he ought to possess, in order to determine upon the exigencies of the If he acts honestly, according to the best judgment and light that he has, is he to be branded and consigned to ignominy, because some one else in the same situation might have adopted a different course? It Is easy enough at this hour to pass a criticism upon the conduct of tho campaign. The question, however. Is not to determine what is the condition of our minds today, but what was the condition of Admiral Schley's mind at the hour when the events took place. The question Is not 'What do we know now' about coaling; at sea, and about the facilities at tionaives and at Mole St.

Nicholas, and at Cruz, but what information did Admiral Schley have then? We now know that the Spanish fleet was in Santiago on the lilth of May, but on that (lay the whole world was doubtful upon that subject, although every line of ocean cable was (lashing with anxious inquiries as to the destination of the Spanish squadron. "Upon this branch lion, I stand by the Cuban pilot, by the veyed by the Adula, of the investiga-testimony of the information con-by the conversa- tion undoubtedly had with Captain Sigsbee, by the unintentional failure upon the part of Captains Wise and Jewell to convey to Admiral Schley even the purport of the messages they had received, and, what is more than all, I stand by the plan as to the chasing capacity of the ships with the coal on hand which has been filed in this case, an imperishable document so far as this controversy is concerned, because it eonerates the Admiral from the slightest criticism or censure. And, standing upon this evidence, I plead for what I know he will receive an impartial verdict from this tribunal. "Nelson chased the French fleet twice across the sea. Nelson was criticised as almost every military and naval commander in his day has been, but when the thunders of Trafalgar reached o'er the sea and the blood of Horatio Nelson anointed the battle deck of the Victory, a shout arose from England's bosom that can never die as it rolls upon the advancing tide of the centuries.

And so with Admiral Schley. If the shot that struck down the life of the gallant Ellis, that courageous boy, had laid low the form of the Admiral upon his battleship, no American within whose bosom there thrills the faintest spark of patriotism, would have dared to breathe a word against his immortal memory, and his name would have rung with exultant pride in every quarter and section of the country that he loves, and upon whose altars he would have been willing to shed his blood, rather than incur the scorn and contumely which his traducers have heaped upon his honored name." In considering his reconnoissance of May 31, which was conducted exactly as it should have been in view of Schley's orders, Mr. Rayner paid special attention to Lieut. Commander I'otts, of the Massachusetts. Potts said that Schley took protection and seemed to be laboring under nervous excitement while the Colon was being fired upon.

Mr. Rayner said: "Lieut. Potts has covered himself with renown. His name will echo through the ages of undying fame. When Manila shall be forgotten, and Santiago will be buried in oblivion, the name of Potts shall live.

The shadow of Potts has struck more terror to the souls of admirals and commodores and captains than could the substance of ten thousand sailors.

Hartzell, and accused members of the committee of being prejudiced against him. He says: "IIi'V. C. V. Hartzell brought against me a charge of lying.

Five specifications charged me with having state, 1 in the Pennsylvania Methodist that he had been a a candidate' and had 'aspirations' for the supcrintendency of the Methodist Book Rooms. This he denied, but brought no witness to show he had not been a candidate. "We showed on his cross-examination that he had come to the Bool; Rooms and talked to me abouL it. It was shown by another witness that he came to the rooms anil recommended himself for the place, and by another witness that he talked lo him about it. canvassing the price of living iu Har-risbiug, and seemed pleased with the prospect of becoming superintendent.

"Here were three witnesses against one, but the committee convicted me, though to say a man is a candidate for a superinlendency is no aspersion of his character. The McKinley Charges. "Several of the specifications charged me, in one form and another, with having asserted that Mr. Hartzell incited the rabble to do violence to my person or property on the night Mr. McKinley died.

Hartzell denied it and brought John C. Delaney, who sued in 181)7, and his friend, Rev. W. J. Hill, pastor of Grace Church, to prove they did not hear him say the words, though not with him all the evening.

"On cross-examination Hartzell admitted he might have said the words, but, if so, he quoted them from others. Daniel Saw, who stood near him in the crowd, in company with her son. a student of Princeton University, testified that Hartzell said: 'Swallow- ought to be rode on a rail and tarred and feathered. If he came along here now I would like to tramp him in the and other incendiary language. "Rev.

The Hartzell Circular. "I had stated that it was 'generally understood that the expense of send ing out a scurrilous circular issued by Hartzell against me had been paid by unworthy State Hartzell 's denial was not supported by any other testimony.

We proved by six or seven members of the church, and offered to call a hundred if necessary, that it was 'generally understood' throughout the city that Hartzell was being backed by Delaney and his pals. We showed that Hartzell visited Delaney's house and the offices of the Quay officials, and that Rev. Hill saw' the scurrilous circular before Hartzell sent it out.

"Dr. E. H. Viicuii, the presiding elder of the district, hose daughter was employed by Quay's State Librarian Reed, selected the nine preachers who acted as jurors. He kept their names from me until confronted by them at the trial.

I did not challenge any of them, because I did not have with me the bitter letters some of them had written me at different times in answer to duns sent them for overdue bills at the book rooms, nor the bitter letters written me by others of them on political subjects. I was so sure of my integrity as. to be willing to be tried by any committee.

The country is 'rinsing today, not only over the Schley demonstration before tho Washington Court of Inquiry yesterday, but also over the discovery of new first-magnitude orator in Isidor Rayner, chief counsel for Admiral Schley. Tlie Baltimore lawyer yesterday moved court and spectators in a manner seldom paralleled in history. When Rayner concluded his masterly speech, the unusual spectacle the judges pressing' forward to grasp his hand, was presented.

It was impossible to suppress the rapturous applause with which the, court room resounded. And yet Rayner does not stand for any sudden development. lie has reached middle age and for the last twenty years has been making speech -eri in Maryland as good as that which he delivered yesterday. The only difference is presented in the opportunity, which, the sages have been telling us ail the centuries, must appear as one of tlie necessary conditions to fame. Ruyner's opportunity came yesterday when he had the nation, rather than a neighborhood, as his audience.

Following are some the more striking passages of his great effort: In introducing his remarks, Mr. Rayner said: 'Without casting the slightest imputation upon any officer of the American fleet, with a due appreciation of the heroic and gallant conduct of every man of them from admiral to ensign, with a heart full of throbbing gratitude for the immortal service that they rendered to their country, in the hearing of this illustrious court, dignified by the presence of men whose names are emblazoned upon the pages of American history, I do declare upon my honor that Admiral Schley was the victim of au unfortunate combination of circumstances that left him in total darkness as to the location of the Spanish lleet, and that never gave him a rayjuf penetrating light until under his own unaided efforts, with unswerving zeal and unllagging devotion to the republic, he discovered, upon the morning uf the 29th of May, the Cristobal Colon in the harbor of Santiago." 1 The claim of lieutenant Souther-land, of the Eagle, that lie notified Schley while the latter was en route to Cuba, of a point twelve miles west of Cienfuegos. where communication might tie opened with tlie insurgents, was given due attention. Half a dozen witnesses had testified that Souther-land's message did not mention the insurgents. Mr.

Rayner said of it: is the megaphone message of Commander Soothe! land? That is the burning question of the hour. Is it still in the megaphone? or is it vibrating upon the tropical breezes of the Oarribbean? Captain Mi-Calla, who by common consent is as brave a soul as ever breathed the fire of battle, sent Southerland to communicate the situation to the Flying Squadron. The Scorpion lashed the waves to obtain the nHv.s. Souiheiiaiid must either have gotten to the wrong end of the instrument, or perhaps the insti was like the stadiineter. sind was not correct in recording sound for a of more than thirty yards.

At any rat- the message that the Scorpion did receive, and which had been reel I to us by Commander M.il ix from the Philippines was what? That there was an insurgent camp in the vi. iidty of i "ienfueuos. h. no. That a signal code had been Uxn with the fr ndly natives? ih.

Cnpt. Harbor, of the Texas, who testified that that ship was endangered by the Brooklyn's loop, was the theme for an explanation, in which Mr.

Rayner said: "Had 1 lellecled for a moment that Cnpt. Harber had Just arrived from the gay festivities of a Continental capital, 1 would have treated him with far greater deference. 1 would have modelled my style according to the lust manner, according to the Parisian court, and would have greeted him with the foreign accent, and graceful gestures that are due to any one who has been suddenly transferred from the deck of an American ship to the elegant and fashionable class of European diplomacy." Mr. Kayner reviewed eloquent manner the part taken by the Brooklyn in the battle or July 3. He gave a graphic description of the flagship in the thick of the fight at the beginning, of her combat with nearly the entile Spanish lleet until the Oregon came up to and of the great chase that ended with the surrender of the Colon.

His compliments were given lo tho navigators, who made an alleged chart of the positions occupied by the ships, as follows: "The navigators' chart is a thing of joy forever. It is like the obliterated epitaph upon a tombstone. Six navigators met, and after their trvjnths' of unremitting labor, they resolve to give to the world a chart of the battle of Santiago, which, for all purposes of historical accuracy, might as well he a chart of the battle of Thermopylae, or of Waterloo. It appears that only one of the navigators did not want to place his ship in a different position from where the ship really was. They were all trying to compose a chart that did not represent the situation at all, and they triumphantly succeeded.

As a disastrous failure, the chart is a magnificent success. The however, who seems to have gotten the worst of it, was the navigator of the Texas, because his object was to place his sljip either right-underneath, or right on top of the Brooklyn, whereas, according to the chart, it is given as at least 2,400 away." Lieut. Bristol, of the Texas, who testified that the Brooklyn was 3,000 yards from the nearest Spanish ship when the battle began, was given this acknowledgement as an expert: "The court will hardly be seriously impressed with the testimony of Lieutenant Bristol. Lieut. Bristol, with great respect for his unbounded wisdom, is the most precocious witness I ever encountered.

Every other witness, in-cliKling Admirals and Captains went down beneath his ponderous blows. His vision was a divine inspiration. Sextants and stadirnetors, compass bearings, government measurements, and hydrographic plans were all dim and obscure in comparison with the miraculous power of his unaided vision which lit up and illumined the entire harbors of Cienfuegos and Santiago witli the unerring precision of the morning sunbeam. Government experts, with mathematical accuracy, had measured the heights of Morro Castle and Nora pa battery, but down they went one hundred feet when they encountered Bristol's miraculous eye.
