one might have looked for criticism
from him of the conditions which COL
onel Roosevelt so forcibly set forth.
None came. General Wheeler stood
out against retreat; he stood out
against complaint. We give all our
generals at the front praise for their
gallantry in action, but General Wheel
er has shown himself to be the ablest
and the truest soldier of them ALL"
Much more did this officer say set
ting forth all sides and illustrating his
arguments with parts of the various
reports.
The report that courtmartial may
likely be the outcome of the "Round
Robin" is discredited at the war de-
partment. A high authority in mill
tary law said that all the generals,
from General Shafter, who called the
meeting, down to the least who signed
it, were amenable to courtmartial, but
that no such proceeding was likely
under the circumstances. As it was
explained by this authority, the
"Round Robin" is recognized in mill
tary law as a form of mutiny. 1t is
an attempt to get at the people over
the heads of the war authorities. The
only authorized form of procedure in
such a state of affairs as existed at
Santiago is for each brigade command
er to report the condition of his brigade
to the division commander, and for the
division commanders to represent the
facts to the commanding general, who,
if he sees fit, can report with recon-
mendations to the department. If the
war department acts, all we'll and
good but if it does not, the command
ing general and his subordinate officers
must not carry the matter further.
They must grin and bear. That is
military law. Any other course of
action is regarded as prejudicial to
good order and discipline and lays
the offenders liable to courtmartial.
General Skaters action in calling a
meeting of his officers to consider a
protest is considered gross breach of
military discipline and was so looked
upon by General Wheeler. The fact
that the department had already deci-
ded to do just what Colonel Roosevelt
was trying to force them to do made
the matter appear especially ill-timed.
The publication was an aggravation.
The real offense was in holding the
meeting. A. w. B.

this. There is disposition to think
that that was not such great feat,
and to believe that any lieutenant in
the navy could have done the same
thing.
But there is an effort to take credit
in which the people are very much in
terested, and it is this effort that is at
the bottom of the controversy between
the people and the naval clique. That
effort was made by Acting Admiral
Sampson, and he stands convicted of
it on his own official report. He is
the man who has sought to helittle the
efforts of another, and who has sought
to take to himself the credit which
belongs to Schley. Sampson might
have been just as much in it as Schley,
if he had been there; but he was not
there. For him and the other men,
bers of the navy clique to try to take
the credit from Schley has brought out
the protests of the people. Secretary
Long and Captain Mahan cannot know
public sentiment or they would not
try to change the verdict by newspaper
letters, especially when these letters
consist in creating a man of straw and
hitting at him.
Sampson may rank Schley on the
records; but history will give Schley
credit for that greatest of naval victo-
ries of this decade; and to the people
Admiral Schley will mean vast deal
more than Admiral Sampson.

SAMPSON OR SCHLEY.

son; but the People Give It to schley.
Washington Special to News and Courier.
The threats of the clique running
the navy department that they would
"do" Commodore Schley before this
thing was through with seem certain
of success. The bureaucracy has evil
dently secured control of the ear of
the secretary of the navy and the COM
bination is too powerful for any man
to break, even if be was anxious to do
so, which Commodore Schley appar-
emily is not.
The announcement that Sampson is
to be advanced eight numbers and
Schley six means on the surface that
both are to be made rear admirals ;
but back of it is the certainty that
when these promotions come they will
be timed so that Sampson will rank
Schley. There is no question that
this will be the course matters will
take. Schley is to be put below the
man whom in actual rank he precedes,
and all because he was brilliantly sue
cessful in the destruction of Cervera's
feet.
No man has ever yet been able to
get an explanation Of the reasons
which impelled the appointment of
Sampson as acting rear admiral, thus
placing him over the heads of all the
men of flag rank in Atlantic waters.
That it was due to rank, arrant favor
itism there can be no doubt. Sampson
is of the bureaucracy; his clique was
in charge of affairs at the navy depart
ment and they put him in over the
head of Schley and others. When
Schley had Cervera bottled up they
sent Sampson to Santiago to take
command over his head and now
they have joined in the effort to make
it appear that Sampson deserves the
whole credit for the great naval vic
tory at Santiago, though he cut abso-
lutely no figure in it, and they will
put fitting climax to their acts by
fixing the promotions so Sampson will
rank Schley.
The secretary of the navy seems to
me to have added nothing to the con-
troversy by his widely published open
letter on the subject, and if he has
done his man Sampson any good 1
have failed to see it. Secretary Long
hits at the same man of straw that
Captain Mahan did in his recent letter
in The Sun. Both try to make it ap-
pear that there is an effort on the part
of the public and the newspapers to
take from Sampson credit to which he
is entitled, and they devote their tai
ents to rebuking that effort.
That is their man of straw. Every
body agrees with them that Samp-
son did all they claim for him. He
was in command as commander he
ordered that close watch be kept up
on the mouth of the harbor, and he
undoubtedly assigned the ships of the
fleet to their positions. But Long and
Mahan seem to think that Sampson
was the only watcher. That is a mis-
take. And it is mistake to presume
that any other commanding officer
would have done any less. There is
virtue in having done that sort of a
duty well, but there is no stupendous
amount of credit due the officer or the
man who does that sort of duty.
Still there has been no effort on the
part of the public or the newspapers
to take from Sampson the credit for

Weather of the most favorable charac-
ter for the spring crop and reported de-
preston OF prices at Liverpool and London
caused a weak feeling here at the open
ing. July was much weaker than more
distant deliveries, owing to the freedom OF
the movement of new wheat and the con-
sequent greater reluctance of miilers and
shippers to continue paying premiums for
immediate delivery. The weather in the
United Kingdom and continent as said
TO be favorable. Harvesting was reported
progressing in Russia and Roumanio, with
prospects of an enormous yield. The spot
price was down and outside markets re-
ported a corresponding decline. Futures
became heavier under the break in the
cash markets and prices continued on the
downward course until the close Of the
session
The total receipts at the western pr
mary markets were 766, 900 bushels, against

Scattered showers and cooler weather
started corn lower. Scalpers were dis
posed to do some selling and some OF
the prominent bulls also sold freely. the
country, however. was a good buyer
through commission houses and a steady
feeling was developed at the decline. The
decided weakness of wheat in the last
hour Of the session had depressing ef-
feet and took all the bull sentiment out
of the crowd. September opened ssGl
