AS a result of much investigation we
are reluctantly compelled TO admit that
both Schley and Sampson participated in
the victory over Cervera's squadron on
the third of July. 1t will take accord
ing to the department estimate, s11 ,297 to
repair the damage done to Schley's flag
ship the Brooklyn, by Spanish shells on
that occasion; and everybody knows that
Yeoman Ellis had his head shot off while
standing by the side of the fighting ad-
miral. Those considerations are calcu-
lated to show that the Brooklyn and
Admiral Schley really We're engaged in
the battle. But we do not desire, at this
late date, to detract from the glory that
should appertain to Sampson. He also
was engaged, but principally in an effort
to reach the telegraph station before
anybody else and claim the victory for
himself. There was prudence in that
brilliant movement indicative of true
greatness. and we have no doubt that It
has appealed successfully to the admir-
alton of an Administration which would
be lonesome without one member at least
who is celebrated for that discretion
which is the better part of valor.

The country now sees that there was
not the slightest occasion for surprise.
in that the Administration was anxious
TO place the War Department investi-
cation in the hands of an unofficial
body which could not send for persons

quite plain that 1t was because the Alger
Relief Commission, being unable TO pro-
tect witnesses, could depend upon evil
dence that would not subject its authors
to persecution and court-nartiai. that it
was organized and appropriately placed
in charge of one of the Credit Mobilier

quite an easy thing TO let soldiers know
that anything they say will be used

Senators Quay and Penrose were in
town yesterday. Mr.. Penrose called at
the office of the Comptroller of the Cur
rency, and. it is understood. made some
inquiries with reference TO the Hon. John
Wanamaker's connection with the old
keystone National Bank. of Philadelphia.
Mr. Wanamaker is fighting Quay most
vigorously, and has dwelt with painful
bluntness upon Mr.. Quay's relations with
the Tradesmen's National Bank. of the
Quaker City. By way OF retaliation, Mr..
Quay's friends have been saying that If
Mr.. Marsh the defaulting president of
the keystone Bank. could be induced to
return he might make some interesting
revelations concerning Mr.. Wanamaker's $
relations with that institution. Mr.. Marsh
fed in 1891. and nothing has been heard
of him since. Mr.. Wanamaker met these
insinuations in a speech delivered on
Friday night in a very firm and manly
fashion He gave notice that if Mr..
Marsh would return and make a full con-
fession that he CWanamaker) would pay
all his expenses and use his influence to
