THE END OF A CONTROVERSY.

A distinguished senator was quoted a
short time ago as saying that when the
Presidents nominations for promotions
In the navy went to the Senate, there
would probably be good deal of discus
sion of the cases of Sampson and Schley,
and it was likely that the President would
find his recommendations lacking the
advice and consent of the Senate" In
short, it was intimated that the Sampson
Schley controversy would be carried into
Congress- and that the friends of Admiral
Schley would insist upon having Justice"
done him. 1t viii be remembered that he
ranked Sampson, who was a captain, at
the time of the breaking out of the war,
but that Sampson was advanced to acting
rear admiral and placed in command over
him after Cervera had entered Santiago
and been bottled up" Sampson, further
more, was not upon the scene on the oc-
casion of the battle of July 8, while Schley
was the ranking officer present and took
a leading part in the fight. Under the
circumstances it appeared that the rapid
jumping of Sampson over the heads of
officers higher on the list than himself
and nominating him to be a rear admiral
of number above Schley, was rank fav-
oritism which the friends of Schley de-
clared they did not propose to submit to
quietly.
A statement embodying the official cor
respondence, has been prepared by the
navy department for transmission to Con-
gress as soon as it convenes. 1t is said
that when this statement has been read
and the correspondence scruunized, the So
called Sampson-Schley controversy will
disappear and never be heard from again
and the Presidents nominations wall be
accepted without question. The cores
pondence shows, it is said, that Admiral
0hen COMMODORE Schley actually noti-
fled the department after he had Cervera
penned up in Santiago, that he had sailed
with his fleet for Key West to take on
coal. He seems to have changed his mind
after sending the cable. as he did not go
10 Key West but returned to Santiago
The department, meantime, knowing posi-
lively that Cervera was in the harbor and
that Schley's departure for Key. West
would give him an opportunity to get away
and possibly menace the then undefended
coast Of the United States. ordered Samp-
son 10 proceed with all speed to Santiago
and take charge of the situation. Schley's
error of judgment in proposing to leave
his quarry and so several hundred miles
away for coal, it is said, was the cause
for superceding him with Sampson. Up
to that time there had been no thought
of any such thing. Upon taking command,
Sampson formulated and explained the
plans under which Cerveras feet was fin
any destroyed
If this statement of the case Is correct,

The season for healthful campaigning

passing a winter in Cuba. Porto Rico or

The Spanish commissioners maintain
that the precedent set by Germany when
in 1871 it assumed that portion of the
French debt which belonged 10 Alsace-
Lorraine should govern in the case of
Cuba. Germany also received a billion
dollars as war indemnity in addition to
the coded territory. If Spain can put up
one-half of that amount the United States
might consent to assume the Cuban debt
and take the island with it. The precedent
quoted is not at all unfavorable to this
country.

''The Ohio host" says correspondent
of the Rochester Post-Express, ''wearied
out of all endurance by the persistency of
his guest, chose as his medium the family
prayer after breakfast, and said: % Lord

us on the 10 O'Clock train this morning.
l prefer the subtler and more reverent
method of another Ohioan, the father of
William Dean Howels, the novelist. His
practice was, when a visitor had worn out
his welcome to be called away on business
and to say to his guest: 1 suppose you
will not be here when l return, so I will
wish you goodby Excellent and highly
appreciated by the boys was the formula
used by Or. Vaughn, when, as headmaster
of Harrow School, he had to entertain the
highest form in the school in patches at
breakfast Commiserating the bashfulness
of the lads who did not know how to
leave and yet wanted to do so, the doctor
would say-apropos of nothing, Must you
go? Can't you stay? This was the signal
for departure. | admire very heartily the
transposition of a blundering narrator,
who, in telling this story gave the formula
as Can't you gog Must you stay?' A
fellow-feeling makes one wondrous kind
to this revised Version"

recent observations of the servant ques-

there where a good cook was employed for
a dollar a week-in nominal wages, but
she and her husband stole at least five
dollars worth of food and other goods
every week" says he. "a certain family
in the same place had a negro cook who
drank up a whole case of expensive wine
which had been bought for an invalid As
the family were about to go away for a
considerable time when this discovery was
made, they thought 1t not worth while to
make a fuss about the wine But when
after this absence, they returned to the
town, they were somewhat surprised to
have the same woman come to them and
apply for her old place
