ANOTHER NAVAL sQUABBLE.

Admiral Walker "Reporred" to the Navy
 Department for Having Publicly Humil-
 iatsd Captain Howell of tho Atlanta
 Before the Whole Fleet Without Suhi-
 ctcnt Cause.
 NEW YoRK, March 6--The Brooklyn Eagle's Washington special says Cap tain John A. Howell of the Atlanta has reported Admiral Walker to the Navy Department. Reported" in naval par lance means that he has complained of his superior's action and demanded sat isfaction by court of inquiry or other wise, in manner to be decided by the Secretary. A private letter from the squadron gives the cause of the trouble.
 When the fleet was sailing out of the port of Toulon, every one was aston ished to see signals hoisted on tho flag ship ordering the commanding officer of the Atlanta under arrest and directing the executive officer, Lieutenant-Com- mander Condon, to take command. It seems that for some reason or other, the Atlanta had gone out of her course and broken up the sailing formation. With out giving her commander any opportu- nifty for explanation he was publicly de- graded before the whole fleet. Naval officers declare such proceeding un- precedented. and claim that Captain Howell was evidently not to blame for the supposed mismanagement of the ship, as shown by the fact that he has since been reinstated in command. It is significant that Captain Howell was about the only officer in the fleet who was not selected for duty by Walker, and it is said that the relations between the two have never been cordial.

 LONDON, March 7.--The recent out rages committed by the Russian officials in Siberia upon helpless male and fe- male prisoners have led to inquiry on the part of various correspondents and others into some of the methods em- ployed by the Russian Government to the end of suppressing facts and sreat- ing favorable is..-prls,-zz-Ssssls, with the re- suit cf 5.sSsuru uaining that vast number of persons of the higher classes are en- gagged in the work of representing the Russian empire as veritable paradise and

With this object in view the govern ment lately sent to the United States
 FIFTY SPIES, OF AGENTS,
 thirty women and fifteen men, charged with the duty of endeavoring to modify the impression made by the articles on the American people, and also to secure the passage of an extradi- ton treaty looking to the return to Rus sia of fugitive political offenders. These emissaries are under assumed names, and are known only to the secret police at St. Petersburg. They are we'll sup piled with money, and are instructed to hold no open communication with one another. The ostensible object of their visit to America is
 TO LECTURE ON RUSSIAN SUBJECTS, which discourses will be supplemented by the publication of articles in the va- rious newspapers laudatory of the Czar and bis government. Ten of the fifty are directed to go to Washington to in gratiate themselves with the members of both houses of Congress. and to ulti- mately gain an entrance into the best American society. Already three of these emissaries

a GREAT CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYER

The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinati Enquirer has the
following to say Of 4 distinguish
ed Mississlppian: Senator
George of Mississippi Is looked
upon as having made the best con
stitutlonal Argument on the trust
question so far. Mr.. George is
not the man who would be picked
out by stranger in the gallery Of
on the street as a senator handy
with the organic law. He is Il
shock-headed, rusty b al d G d
southerner, who wears a slouch
hat that looks as though it had
been jammed by every awning
post and umbrella between the
treasury and the capitol, and he
is not fastdious, although pre-
sentahle. He IS a man, though,
of good address and unaffected
genhlity IN hls manners, and waen
he takes up the constitution, look
out for him. The tall, well-atti:-
ell Mr.. fngals may have a great
er vocabulary of vinegar phrases
and a stronger pull on the gal
lery; Mr.. Voorhees, may be more
eloquent IN his periods and moro
effective in his appeals for popu-
lar rights Mr.. Morgan may be
stronger on international ques'
tons; MI Frye may be more dar
Ing and combatatIve Mr. Spoonel
may be more plausible in his par
| ty positions, and Mr.. Vest may
have a better general equipment
for debate than almost any of th,
men, but Mr., George need no
yield the palm as an expoundel
of the constitution. He does no
pose for beauty but the person
who is interested in the constltu
tion is likely to think him a very
good looking senator before la
finlahes speech. Handsome /
as handsome does. Still 1t mus
be said of Mr.. George that he al
lowed the 'old flag and an appro
prlatlon' to get away with hi
constitutional scruples on the BlaI
bill"
