BELPRE ROMANCE.
Rough Riders Really Romantic
Realization,

The degree of romance which enter
cd into the marriage of Frederick
Chubb, of Seattle, Washington, and
Mrs. Mary o. Wright, of Belpre, which
took place at Marietta last Saturday
would furnish the basis for a work of
fiction such as are turned out by the
Duchess, Albert Ross and Bertha M.
Clay.
Chubb prior to the war was a pros
porous young business man in Seattle.
With thousands of other patriotic
young men, he threw aside business
and took up arms for his country when
the President issued a call FOR volun-
teers. Much of Chubb's life in the west
had been spent on the plains and
Roosevelts Rough Riders gave him
an opportunity to enter a branch of
the service to which he was best
adapted.
The young soldier went through the
Santiago campaign and came out with
nothing worse than a system full of
malaria, which after a several weeks
siege of illness at Montauk Point, he
got rid of.
After his discharge from the service
the weak trooper started on his long
ride across the country. AS was the
case with hundreds of the volunteers
who received their discharges in the
east, the Rough Rider had made but
little headway on his journey home
when his funds were exhausted.
Weakened by a severe spell of sick
ness, Chubb's condition began to be
again serious by the time the ride over
the Allegheny mountains was finished,
and upon arriving at Belpre he decid-
ed to leave the train and rest up for
a few days His transportation was
good any time, SO all that he had to
look out for was place to stay. Upon
leaving the train the Rough Rider
went to the Belpre Hotel, which is
managed by Mrs. Wright Prompted
by patriotic and womanly sentiments
she took the trooper in and
made him comfortable. The rest and
good care he. received soon braced him
up so that he was abe to start home
For all these attentions Mrs. Wright
received nothing but thanks, at tht
time, but with the honorable instinct
of a soldier Chubb promised to make
everything right upon arriving home
The settlement necessitated a cores
pondence which was coLSinued al
length and which resulted in an en-
gagement, at long distance, and later
marriage. Mr.. Chubb is at present il
New York on business. He will re
turn to Belpre in few days and tax,
his bride to his western home.-Park

The SamusOn-Schlev COntrOversi.

The statement made by Rear Admir-
al w. S. Schley TO the senate in reply
to the charges and criticisms contain
ed in a communication from the secre-
tary of the navy is manly and dlgnifled
and will greatly strengthen the popu-
lar estimation of that officer.
There has never been any doubt in
the pu6lic mind that Schley was the
real hero of the famous naval battle
off Santiago. and the attempt of Rear
Admiral Sampson to discredlt the
achievements of his brother officer
and usurp the glory of that battle has
intensified rather than mitigated pop
ular feeling aginst himself. Schleys
statements make it clear that prior to
the discovery of the Spanish fleet in
Santiago harbor, when the conduct al
| legged by Sampson to have been rep
Irehensible" occurred Schley acted
strictly in accordance with the orders
of his superior officer. In order to give
color to his rather questionable crlti-
cism Sampson appears to have sup
pressed a very important dispatch, in
which he directed Schley to hold
Ci1nfuegos and Havana until the To-
cation of the Spanish fleet was dehn-
itely determined, suggesting that if
Cervera was later found to be at San
tiago the American fleet could be con-
centrated there. 1t is in order now
for Sampson to explain why this dis
patch was suppressed and to show that
rhe alleged "reprehensible" conduct
was not more his than Schley's.
Schley declares that he never heard
Sampson considered his conduct of
the flying squadron "reprehenslble"
until after the battle off Santiago and
though his superior officer reportedi it to
the Secretary of the Navy July 10 he
has not even to the present day recelv-
ed personally any intimatlon from
Sampson or the Secretary of the Navy
that AIS actions were open to criticism
In other words, Schley was all right
until Sampson found that glory OF
destroying Cervera's feet had fallen
upon another officer and that some
pretense had to be made to excuse his
very palpable attempt to usurp the
credit.
No criticism of Sampson is offerej
by Schley in his statement, and his
disclaimer of any purpose of contro'
versy with the navy department Is
which he has maintained during al
The time that the subject has been dis
cussed by the newspapers and the pub
lie. The hero of Santiago appeal!
merely to the American sense of fail
play in defense of his own reputation
and the people will quite agree with
him when he says he is at loss to un
derstand how his success in locating
and Dlockading the Spanish fleet a
Santiago, upon which he was congrat
ulated by the president at the time
could have grown into "reprehensible'
conduct some six weeks later.
We trust and believe that Congress:
will not permit any injustice to b.
done Rear Admiral Schley or any 9th
er officer of the navy in the pending
promotions and recognition of service
during the late war.-Ohio State Jour
nal.

Removal of the Manacles.

1.-The removal of manacies from the
handof man has wonderfully increased
his productivity; it has wonderfully
extended the scope of his powers,
multiplied, his possessions, heightened
the span of his days and widened the
horizon of his ambitions. But out Of
his very prosperity it has created this
difficulty with which we are con-
fronted today. The slave was willing
to accept from the hand of his master
a crust of bread as the reward for his
labor, to escape the lash. But the free
laborer enjoys fair share Of the pros
perity which has been created by his
toll. Thank heaven we have turned
away from the question of foreign
wars and exterior boundaries to in
tenal conditions and domestic pros
perity. l do not fear the specter of
socialism or anything else that can be
conjured. Sufficient unto today is this
day in which we have already achieved
splendid progress.

have submitted no new proposition,
but want an armistice pending the ses-

The two who surrendered to the
Americans say the Filipinos now want
peace on any terms. Generals Luna
and Rio del Pillar and their forces
alone, of all the Fihpinos, are still
opposed bitterly to the surrender.
They want the war continued and have
used every influence in their power
TO urge a prolongation of hostilities.
But the mass of the people and the

weary of the fighting and the defeats.
General Luna is reported to be
