at the beginning of the war he held g

Chicago Journal -(Rep.): It is fortunate
for the navv that the American people
have refused to be misled by a really dis
reputable official conspiracy to deprIN {
the man who fought the battle of the

for Admiral Sampson, the victor at
Santiago was Winfield Scott SchIey. and
although his name was carefully omitted
from all the reports of his commanding
officer it will not now be omitted from
the history of this war.
Philadelphia Times: Admiral Sampson
has already had more than his full share
of distinction, and Commodore Schley
has not had any official recognition for
his brilliant service. 1t is quite time to
call a halt in promotion by favor and to
seek better way to reward real serv-
ice.
Baltimore American Rep9: The presi-
dent has advanced Admiral Sampson
eight numbers and Commodore Schley
six numbers. thereby making them both
Rear Admirals, with Sampson the rank

do. Admiral Sampson was advanced two
numbers over Commodore Schley some
months ago, without any reason that the
public has been able to discover The
American public is in d matter of this
kind the court of last resort. and the
public knows. in spite of the flourish of
blockade orders who destroyed the Span

the fact that his report of the battle hard

WEST SIDE NEWS.
Slippery Sidewalks Cause Serious
Injuries 10 Two Ladies-Batch
Of Surprise Parties.

Yesterdays "drizzly" weather was
the cause of several accidents on this
side. Everywhere on walks and streets
thin glaze of ice made 1t very dang
erous, especially If one did not use
the utmost care in walking.
One of the most serious accidents due
to falls upon the sidewalks was that
of Mrs. Joseph p. Phillips. wife Of
City Engineer Phillips. of SHETLAND
street. She left her house and went
down the walk toward the gate. Lead
ing out onto the sidewalk are three
stone steps. In stepping down these,
Mrs. Phillips stepped and fell. She is
a very heavy woman and the fall was
so unexpected that she was not able
to save herself and fell heavily. Neigh
bors who saw the accident rushed to
her assistance and she was born into
the house. A physician was sum-
moned and he found that the injured
woman was suffering from shock and
severe contusions. How seriously Mrs.
Phillips is injured it was impossible to
say last night.
Another accident of a similar char
acter happened to Miss Marie Parry,
the 16-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Parry, of South Main
avenue. Mr.. Parry is janitor of Mears'
hall. He and his family reside in the
building. Yesterday morning just be-
fore noon, his daughter came down out
of the hall and started up the street.
She slipped and fell. In falling she
struck her face and head against the
edge of the raised flag on the ten
foot reservation. Her lips were cut
and several teeth were broken. She also
suffers from a bad scalp wound. A
physician was summoned and dressed
her wounds,

weapon consisted of a large Colts re-

Then with a skill borne of the thirst
for vengeance which welled in his
breast, MIR. Ruddy put an end to his
dogship's earthly career.
