offer to give him start. The assistance
proffered was in a chance to try for the
naval academy at Annapolis. Ne did
try, passed, went to the academy and
graduated an honored pupil in 1861, some
three years after Dewey's graduation.
Histaciturnity bothered him at this time.
He realized that close mouth may often
by disadvantage. He could play tennis,
and he used his skill in this direction to
lead him into social life and relations
with men and women where he would
have to talk. In this way he made him
self companonable.
Free from the academy, he was as
signed to the frigate Potomac. Later he
was returned to Annapolis as an in
structor. and in 1865 was executive officer
of the Patapsco of the South Atlantic
blockading squadron. He stood on the
bridge of the Patapsco the night of jan
uary Is, 1865, when, while dragging for
torpedoes, the boat struck one and was
instantly sunk. He was thrown into the
water and picked up by one of the picket
boats. For his intrepidity at this time
he was honorably mentioned by his COM

in Washington than Rear Admiral George
Dewey, although a man Of just as retir-
ing disposition as the commander Of the
Asiatic squadron. The fighting abilities
of the two men are alike. Hesitancy and
indecision are qualities unknown to
either. Sampson has past life in many
respects more remarkable than that Of

inclined to talk that it is doubtful il he is
the author of the now famous sentence:

It with success. You opened and we closed

countries the greatest territorial powers of
America. giving us similar aspirations in
the domain of political perfection, estab-

the material activity of each. Production,
the basis of public wealth, is far from be-

very struggle for existence which not sell

the best designs, instead of giving us cause
for selfish competition, and disturbances of

friendship. We are mutually drawn to-

MANILA PROMOTIONS

WASHINGTON. June THE death Of
Captain Gridiey has removed one of the
officers set down for advancement over
their seniors on account of the victory at
Manila. The promotions recommended by
the president are the subject OF much talk
between naval officers. Those who did not
participate in the battle are naturally dis
pleased .at being jumped" and they are
pointing out the evils of the practice, among
them being the probability that some OF the
very officers advanced are likely to be in
turn jumped, and SO practically set back,
by some officer now on duty with Samp-
sons fleet who may distinguish themselves
In battle. These officers are urging that 1t
would only be prudent and fair to go slowly
In the matter of making promotions of this
character. and to await until thu war Is
ended when all the mertorious officers may
Ibe rewarded in strict accordance with their
merit.

Tho Canadians now Have for Us-Bitter.
Opponent Suppressed.
WASHINGTON. D. c., May 27.-The
Canadian negotiations were resumed at
the state department to-day. An un-
derstanding has been reached that the
details OF the negotiations VIII not be
made public until definite results are
obtained In general way. However, It
Is stated that the spirit prevailing at
the conference gives better promise OF
an agreement than ever before. This IS
due largely to the recent expressions
OF .cordiality between Great Britain and
the United States.
It Is said that the Canadian people
fully share In this growing good will.
and that when q member OF the Cana
dian parliament made speech the
other dag incidentally casting a reflec-
tlon on this country, the two party lead
ers, Sir Wilfrld Laurier, premier and
Liberal leader, and Sir Charles Tup-
per, Conservative leader. at once re-
buked the member for this expression,
their remarks being greeted with en-
thusiastlc cheers from both sides of the
chamber.
Thus far the Canadians have not ta-
ken official cognizance OF the presence
OF Senor DuBosc, the former associate
OF Mr.. Polo In tho Spanish legation
here, but there Is reason to believe that
IL Mr.. Du Bose and those with him at
Montreal, do not strictly abide by the
rules of asylum they will be called to
account and made to discontinue their
operations.
