GCHLEY AND HAllPGON.

However 'reprehensible" Schley's con-
duct may have seemed to some folks
even they cannot deny that he eXhib-
tied a fine disposition in his official re-
port to Admiral Sampson on July 6,
when he wrote: II congratulate you
most sincerely upon the great victory
to the squadron under your command,
and I am glad that I had an opportuni-
ty to contribute in the least to victory
that seems big enough for us all"
And again in his dispatch Of July 10 to
the department, Schley wrote: Victory
was secured by the force under the
command of the Commander-in- Chief
of the North American station, and to
him the honor is due"
Such generous dispatches as these are
not "reprehensibIe," and they raise a
presumption in favor of the man who
wrote them. But in his report to the
Navy department Admiral Sampson
never mentioned the name of Schley,
and on the 10th of July wrote to the
"reprehensible conduct" he was unwill-
ing to recommend him for promotion,
and would leave his case to the depart
ment. Right or wrong, the people do
not feel that Sampson shines much in
this matter

very abundant. On their newer jackets
they have used facings and trimmings
that formerly were not included in tail
ored suits, and already they have run
nearly through the list garnitures that
can be used without destroying the
tailor characteristics. a recent resort
was to the circular ruffle that first came
into view on the cut-away cape. The
latest use of this ruffle is on view in
the accompanying picture. This gown
was havana brown broadcloth the band
upon the skirt, the vest and the jack
cts ruffie being mushroom cloth. In
this there is nothing that opposes the
strict idea of a tailor gown, but an
other Jacket very like this had a vest
trimmed most deliberately with tucked
chiffon, and many a front to a tailor
suit is quite as fluffy and fanciful as
anything we'll could be.
Sleeve links remain as correct, though
the dumb bell variety is sometimes used
when it won't snow, as when the cuff
is worn inside a close tailor sleeve. The
tailor dress finished at the neck with
a high choker and at the wrists with
stitched edge is relieved by linen band
collar set inside the choker Of the dress,
and with round cuffs pushed inside the
sleeves. This is the revival of an old
style. If the cholSer is properly cut and
fitted the linen collar needs only to be
fastened about the neck, and when but
toned close inside the other collar it
will hold it's place comfortably. The
linen collar should be a half size smaller
than the outside one.

| Russia hasn't been slow, but she has
been sure in occupying Manchuria. A
letter published in Berlin, credited to a
German traveller, gives a striking ac-
count of the manner in which Manchu-
ria has become already a Russian pro-
vince. The writer says that Russian
| soldiers are in all important cities and
places, with strong garrisons in the
large towns, while there are Cossack
posts in each of the many villages, and
single posts near the nountain-passes
ard river fords. The whole country be-
tween Newchwang and Vladivostok,
and between Chita and Ktrin, seems to
be organized BY Russia on military
lines. More than five thousand men are
at Vladivostok; one battalion at Kulan;
three battalions at Sansin, on the Lower
Sungari; one battalion at Khoton and
Tsitsihar, on the Upper Sungari; and a
strong garrison at Hunshan, on the Co.
rean frontier. Along the Great Wall
there are strong posts at Kalgan, Faky-
nun, Tuling, Nodun, Ingquen and Ping
shau. Several battalions are quartered
in the villages along the Shara Muren,
and Cossacl,s patrol the whole country.
Near Kirin' two battalions of engineers
are engaged in converting the small
path from the Upper Sungari to Corea
into a broad military road, and all the
highways throughout the country are
being improved. Posts have been es-
tablished at the fords Of the rivers and
bridges built over them. Chinese high
roads are, on the whole, pretty good, so
that, in order to secure the communica-
tons, Russia has had nothing to do but
to enlarge or improve the highways and
to station posts in the villages, which
are about fifty kilometres apart from
each other, At Tsitsihar two compa-
MES of pioneers are building the pro-
jected railroad through Manchuria,
which is to run from the Yalu river to
Achilau, and then over the Khinghan

Some of our new men and brethren
don't seem to be very minded. In
fact, they aren't as high-minded as peo-
pie who say they are fighting for lib
erty and the rights Of man ought to be-
Incendiarism and assassination are not
noble. They aren't even fair in either
love or war. The Filipinos don't seem
to be much fairer in their fighting than
the Apache Indians were. They lie in
walt to kill anybody they can. They fire
on the Red Cross surgeons and nurses,
Indeed, the badge of the Red Cross is a
target. Chaplain Pierce, Of General
McArthur's staff, says he has been shot
at by sharpshooters fifty times in the
provisional hospital. Those who aid
wounded Filipinos suffer like the others;
and it has been necessary to arm the
hospital corps of the Red Cross.
What can be done to persuade such
people that we love them and would do
them good? Anything except to kill
enough of them to make the rest I'M
derstand that they must accept our ten

EXPA NSION.

When "the opposition" first began to
harp on "a billion-dollar congress- 1t
was rather impressive. Now we have
a billion-and- a-half-dollar congress and
little is said about it. The appropriations
of the last session, including expenses of
the war up to July 1, 1899, are given
as $S932S1,615, while the appropriations
of the present session are estimated at
$717 100000, making a total of $1,610, 0O0,-
900. 1t is pointed out however, that the
emergency war appropriation of $7O,oOO-
900 has been twice appropriated, once
at the last session and reappropriated
again in the deficiency bill at the be-
ginning of the present session. This
amount should therefore be deducted,
leaving the total appropriations at ST.
40,000,000. If congress passes the Mica
ragua Canal bill this will add s115 ,00O 900
to the total appropriations charged up
to the fifty-fifth congress, but. as
matter of fact, the most of this appro-
priation will appear in deficiency bills
of future congresses, as only $40, 10000
or $15,000,000 of the sum will be availa-
BILE during the first year Of construction.
And if the Pacific cable bill Is passed
the subsidy will be spread over twenty
years.

money. But we are big folks and must

LEAGUE ISLAND DRY DOCK.
Navy Department Advertises For
Bids For It's Erection.

Washington, June 23.-The navy de-
partment today advertised for bids for
the erection of the dry docks at the
League Island navy yard which were
authorized by the act of May 4, 1898.
The specifications of the dock are very
similar to those of the Mare Island
dock for which bids were opened two
weeks ago. The dry dock is to be of
timber. the entire structure to be
founded on piles, unless during the pro-
substitute concrete for piling. The gen
follows:
Length on coping from head to outer
gate sill $50 feet; length floor III;
width on coping in body, IA; width on
floor 80; width on coping at abutment
104: width at entrance on mean high
water level 101; depth from coping to
mean high water Sc; depth from coping
to floor 40; draft over sill at mean high
water. 30
The main pumps, thee in number, are
to be of the centrifugal type, the gem
Grating set consisting of vertical COM
pound engines with two dynamos, di-
rectly connected to each engine. There
are to be eight steel boilers. The cais-
son is to be a floating gate of boat form
constructed of steel. There are to be
electric power capstans and wincheS.
The bid must cover everything to rem
der the dock complete and in efficient
working order. The advertisements pro-
vide that the dock must be completed
within thirty calendar months after the
letting of the contract.
