WASHINGTON, May 1O.-There was con.
siderable talk about the Navy Depart
ment to-day Of u published Interview
with Admiral Meade criticlsing the ad-
mlnistration. Criticism OF q superior
oihcer Is an oifense according to naval
regulations, and the Secretary OF the
Navy and the President, against whom
the remarks OF Admiral Meade wore d.
rected, are his superior officers.
II Is possible that tho President and
Secretary Herbert may pay no atten-
tloh TO the utterances, but inasmuch as
courtmar.ial has been ordered on
charges preferred by Admiral Meade
against surgeon in she navy for living
certain matter to tho press, (. may be-
that the admiral's apparent violation of
the naval regulations will be presented
to the attention OF the department by
officers Of the Navy who are specially
Interested in Surgeon Ke-shner.

Carlyle Corrected.

AT Royal academy dinner in London
some years ago several artists We're ex-
pressing their enthusiasm about Titan.
Carlyle and Thackeray, 1t appears. were
among the guests. Mrs. Annie c. vii
son tells the story Of what followed
His glorious coloring is fact about
Titan, said one man, striking the ia
BILE to give emphasis to the remark.
And his glorious drawing is another
fact about Titan p cried another artist
And so they went on until Carlyle,
who had been listening in silence to
their rhapsodies, interrupted them by
saying, with slow deliberation which
had its own impressive emphasis;
And here | sit, man made in the
image Of God, who knows nothing about
Titan and cares nothing about Titan,
and that's another fact about Titan. "
ThAckefay WAS slipping claret at the
