Although a truce between the Ameri-

An Historical Case Where Hero
Had 10 Wait for Recognition

(FrOm the Boston Glcbe.)
History being but continuous success

regarding the award or nOnors for a na-
val battle which bears an interesting il
not a very close resemblance TO the con-
temporary controversy concerning Schley
and Sampson Ii stands out as one of
the picturesque incidents of the war be-
tween the States. and Farragut is the
central figure. After the capture of New
Orleans by the fleet of that famous ad-
miral. he sent the report of his opera
tions to Washington by the hand of Capt
TheodoruS Bailey. The captain. innocent
of the contents OF the report which he
bore from his commander. was eagerly
welcomed at the capital, and in the pres
ence of Senator Grimes of Iowa. was ask
ed by the Secretary of the Navy TO tell
the story of the fall of the Crescent City.
When Bailey had finished. Grimes ex-
claimed: Come with me. The account
of this great battle must be told on the
floor of the Senate.
In the Senate chamber Capt Bailey was
greeted with emotional cordiality. and
members OF the House hurried over to
listen to his recital of the imposing and
stirring events. in which he had taken
an important part, leading. as ne did. the
first division up the river even in ad-
vance of FarIasut. At me conclusion of
his narrative the representatives return
ed to their chamber with the impulse to
give thanks of Congress TO both Bailey
and Farragut, while Senator Grimes in
stantly arose in the Senate for the same
purpose.
But before the motion was made Sec
retary Welles had read Faragut's report.

led the way, and indeed represented tha

on the enthusiasm which was sweeping
the two houses along. He explained the
matter as well as he could 10 Capt Bal
ley, who stiIl sat in the chamber. but
naturally that officer went forth filed
with humiliation.
Afterward Farraguf alone received the
vote of thanks for the victory. and it was
seven years later, and after much corre-
spondence between him and Bailey. that
he was brought TO see the error which he
had committed by inclosing in his report
a sketch of the movements as he had
originally planned them. but which had
been rendered vitaily incorrect BY sub
sequent change in his plans. II was then
that he wrote to his wounded sHb0rsht-e
