 A fair sized audience witnessed the game of basket ball III Bowling hall last night between the Meriden Y. M c. A. team and St. Patrick's team of this city. The latter team was vic- torious by the score of 26 to 6. The game was as the score indicates, very one sided, being won by the St. Pat rick's team because of the fast work and ability to dodge. Both sides lack ed team work. Cahill was kicked on the leg and forced to retire toward the close of the game. The teams line up as follows:

Simpsons Report.

llmeS-
Every one has awaited eagerly the
official reports of the great naval VIC
tory outside the harbor of Santiago de
Cuba on the morning of July g. These
reports are printed in full in The
Times today and they will be read
with interest, if not with unmixed sat-
isfactiou. The captains of the ships
engaged and the commodore who was
In actual command at the time, made
their reports to the commsnder-in-
chief on the next day or within two
days of the battle: the latter took
twelve days to draw up his report, and
he seems to have employed the time in
reducing it to the coolest possible mar
rstive, making little use OF the reports
received and excluding every hint of
generous feeling toward the men who
so generously laid their trophies of
victory at his feet
There is little or nothing in Acting
Admiral Simpsons report to take d.
rect exception TO, but it's coldly self
contented official tone will CRATE harsh
ly on the sensibilities of those who,
recognizing the mistaken assumption
of his original dispatch, had expected
after this long delay, some effort at
least to express an unselfish enthus-
iasm. The main purport of SIMPSONS
report is that he had arranged the
blockade so effectively, as is no doubt
strictly true, that the ships had moth
ing to do but to follow his prescribed
programme. The method of escape
tried by Cervera removed all tactical
doubts or difficulties and made plain
the duty of every ship to close imme-
mediately, engage and pursue" Not
much of the action was under his per-
sonal observation and the only particu-
lar commentator bestowed is on the
commander OF the Gloucester; but he
adds:
When all the work was done so we'll 1t Is
difficult TO discriminate in praise. The OBJ
iect OF the blockade OF Cervera's squadron
was fully accomplished and each individual
bore well his part in 1t. the commodore In
command OF the second division, the cap
tains OF ships, their officers and men.
This is entirely proper, if made
quate, but it is impossible to avoid con.
trasting such perfunctory recognition
of others than himself with the manly
and loyal enthusiasm with which 1.-THE

IL the statement OF the Express
Gazette published in last nights HER
AID is correct, it discloses a condition
OF affairs In congress that is disgrace
full. II is notorious that nearly every
law of Importance that issues from
that estimable body is sub
ject to several different con
structions and readings, leading
inevitably to expensive and time
wasting litigation. 10 the article re-
ferred to the statement is made that
the ambiguity in the case of the ex-
press receipt clause Of the new revenue
law was Intentional. Now there can be
no doubt that congress had the right to
tax the express companies, and that 1t
had the right to prescribe also that the
companies should pay for and aff'x the
stamp. That would have left the
point at issue to be settled in each
state under state law. AS 1t stands
now the very intent Of the law itself is
called into question. The English
language is supposed to be capable Of
expressing plainly any ordinary thought
or conclusion. There is no reason why
laws rs important and far reaching in
their effects as the war revenue law
should be vague or inconclusive. And
IL Is little less than criminal when the
law is Intentionally left subject to va
rious readings. In this case it must
have been a particularly active lobby.

We "suspe nded judgment" in the
Sampson-Schley controversy, as in the
case Of the Maine, until all the official
reports were In. They have now been
pub ished in full. Ia the light of them,
our opinion is that Sampson cannot for
one moment stand in the same class
with Dewey and Schley. We know
that among TIE people generally there
is slw avs a disposition to belittle the
part in any undertaking filed by the
man whose energy ia expended in
organization and head work rather
than in physical labor purely.
But in this case, after
all due allowances have been made,
IL seems clear that the officer in COM
msnd OF the fleet failed signally to
come up to what was reasonably ex-
pected Of him as an American citizen
and q naval officer of high rank. 1t is
true, the verdict OF the nation is based
rather on the spirit OF the official re-
ports than the letter of them. But
spirit counts for all, sometimes,
and then moreover the American peo-
pie will never forget that, in the
Fourth OF July present" message,
Sampson, whether wilfully or acciden-
tally, conveyed the impression that to
him was all the glory. After all is
said, the battle OF July third will pro-
perly go down In history as Schley's
battle.

Some Railway Statistics.
From the Railway Age.

Last year the railways of the United
States carried over 13. 600. 100000 passengers
one mile. They also carried 90, 1000, ,OOO, 600
tons of freight one mile. The total amount
paid in dividends on stock was $S7, 638, ,371-
call 1t $SS.00OOOO OF the total earnings of
the railways about 20 per cent came from
freight service and 80 per cent from pass
enger service. Let us assume, then, that
of the $sS.OOO.0OO paid in dividends 20 per
cent. or SCI 100000, was profit ON freight
service and $26, 10000 was profit on pass-
enger service. Let US drop fractions and
call 1T s62. 100000 from freight and s26 Coo
900 from passengers. By dividing the pass
enger profit into the number of passengers
carried Q3, 900 ,000. .0OO we find that the rail-
ways had to carry a passenger 500 miles
in order to earn 81 of profit, or five miles
to earn one cent. The average profit there
fore, was less than two-tenths of one cent
for carrying a passenger (and his baggagel
one mile.
+ BY dividing the freight profit into the
freight mileage (05,0O0 600, ,O0O) we find that
the railways had to carry one ton of freight
1880 miles in order to earn 81 or over fif-
teen miles to earn one cent. The ayerare
Profit, therefore, was less than one-fifteenfh
OF a cent for carrying a ton Of freight (be-
sides loading and unloading it, one mile.
