THE MORNING NEWS THURSDAY OCTOBER 49, 1898

There are several rather striking things
in connection with that naval commission
10 inquire INFO the Santiago fight and the
destruction of Cervera's feet. One Of
them is that it should have been composed
of heutenants, to pass upon the merits OF
a controversy respecting flag officers; an
other is that its conclusions should have
been so promptly reached, and another IS
that such care should apparently have
been taken to minimize the importance Of
Admiral Schley's connection with the bat
tie. The commission reached the conclu-
sion that 1t was a captains fight upon
lines laid down by Admiral Sampson, ana
that Schley was neither In the thick OF II
nor had much to do with the outcome Of
it. All of the stories heretofore published,
and several of the official diagrams, have
shown that the Brooklyn was at the front
of the line during the whole battle; that
she had to make sharp maneuver early
in the fight to prevent the Vizcaya from
ramming her, and that she headed off the
Colon, practically forced her ashore, and
received her surrender

A Splendid PUBLICATION.

THE Southland is the title of one of
the handsomest and most meritorious rail-
way publications ever produced in this
country. 1t is dedicated ito the people of
the South by the Southern Railway Com
pany, whose interests are Identical with
those of the states traversed by its lines"
The purpose of the volume, which is in
deed an edition de luxe" is to portray
the advancement of the empire of the
South, which has been one of the grand
est and most noteworthy movements In
the industrial and commercial history of
the world" 1t is quite evident that ex-
pense cut no figure in The preparation of
the work The binding is artistic, while
the letter-press is embellished with several
hundred half-tone illustra tons, many of
them gems in their way. The written
matter is far above the average in merit.
Most industrial sketches are extremely
dry reading consisting chiefly of musty
facts and tiresome statistics In this in
stance, however the ground has been COW
cred with distinct literary ability. No es-
sential facts or statistics have been omit
ted, but they have all been so skilfully in
terwoyen that the complete narrative
makes an attractive, readable, instructive
story. The state of Georgia is literally
treated in the book, being given some
twenty-five pages and nearly a hundred
illustrations. The publication was edited
and compiled by Mr.. Frank Presbrey.

Blacksmith Became "A Lord.

The death of William Strut. the son and
heir of Baron Belper and nephew of the
Earl of Dunmore. who was found dead
on oct. in the bathtub of his rooms t
the West End Hotel, st. Louis. Mo, has
recalled some early history of the Belpxr
family, says a London cable.
The first Lord Belper was a blacksmith
who helped Arkwrlght with his inventions.
When Arkwright made his first spinning
frame he found the threads twisted Great
~ chagrined he went to the blacksmith,
who said he would remedy the matter on
condition that he receive half the profits
of the invention for ten years ArkwrighC.

blacksmith rubbed his hand over one of
the cylinders and coolly said
THAT is all it wants"
He had chalked his hand and had created
a rough surface, where Arkwright had it
too smooth.

Bland Withdrew His Thanks.

Ex-senator John B. Henderson and Rep
resentative Bland are probably as far
apart as two men can be on the financial
question, says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
cr2t
Bland" said Gen, Henderson one day
last winter in Washington, "a New York
friend of mine asked me what kind of a
man you were. He wanted to know if your
were honest; if you really believed your
doctrine of free and unlimited coinage of
silver at 16 to l."
what did you tell hlm?" asked Mr..
Bland.
Il told him that you were honest; that
you believed what you professed about
silver"
II am much obliged to YOU" said the
father of the cartwheel.
yes" continued the ex-senator, II said
that you believed in free silver; that you
didn't know any better
Il don't know that / ought to be so
much obliged to you after ALL" said Mr..
Bland, good humoredly.

The Evacuation In Cuba.
From the Chattanooga Times Oem.).

Most of the scolding and abuse of the
authorities. about this matter of evacu-
aring the islands. has arisen from curl
ously confused and often grotesquely ob-
surd notions about the powers of the
American commissions, and many of Us
have but a faint notion of the time and
labor and expense involved in moving
nearly 2O0C coo soldiers and their impedl-
menta, 1000 miles by sea. The % 900 of
Torars army were two months in getting
back TO Spain, although the United States
hired the great Spanish transatlantic
company to do the work, and limited the
time as closely as was deemed to be fair.
We cannot get the big Spanish army cut
of the Antilles in a day, or in week.
But we can make their commanders sur
render the civil and military machinery
within reasonable time. and that will be
done.

A cablegram from Madrid contains the
statement that the report that the Ameri-
can peace commissioners have refused to
even consider the question of the United
States paying either the debt of Cuba or
any part of it or any part of the Porto
Rican debt or of permitting Cuba to be
made responsible for the Cuban debt or
any part of ii, has created a most pain
ful impression In that city. That is in
teresting. IL is difficult to understand
why the action OF our commissioners
should have caused painful surprise Did
the Spaniards think that we intended to
make the holders of their bonds happy?
if so, it is not TO be wondered at that
they are disappointed. But they must
have very erroneous idea of our ability
to take care of ourselves. They will find
out before they get through with us that,
having driven them out Of Cuba, we don't
intend 70 pay them for having done so
Before we have fully settled with them
we shall, in all probability, give them
some more painful surprises.

min of Louisiana, and the next was Mr..
Moses of the same state" Mr.. Curtis
seems to have overlooked the Hon. David
L. Yulee of the state of Florida, who was
a senator just previous to the war of Sc
cession. And then there was Senator B.
f. Jonas of Louisiana, who was in the
Senate in 1879. And then again, some per
sons have said that Carl Schurz is of Jew
ish extraction, though there seems to be
some uncertainty about that

So great is the antiquity of the rose

Oldest of which there is any record; 10

survival of the fittest. 1t is not mentioned
in the Biblical writings earlier than the
reign of Solomon but the allusion to it
then made is such as to indicate that the
flower had already long been known In
Egypt the rose is depicted on a number of
very early monuments, believed to date
from 5000 to $500 B. c., and in the tomb
