Naval Promotion,

Washington, Jan. 23-The entire ex-
ecutive session of the senate today
was devoted to the promotion of Ad-
mirals Sampson and Schley, and other
naval officers in the Santiago cam
paign over the heads of officers their
superiors in rank. The controversy
postponed twenty days after vote
had beea take nto call for the records
of the navy department bearing upon
the conduct of all affected by advance
ment. The main contests were first
over the general policy of promoting
officers over others, quite as deserving
though less fortunate, in that they
were deprived of such active particlpa-
tion in the war; second as to relative
merits of Sampson and Schley. Sena-
tors German and wellington of Mary
land, oneGa Republican nthe Other
Democrat, unitedpin a fierce attack up
on the navy department. 'dfavoring
Sampson over Schley, while Senators
ndsay, PettigreW, Perkins and Mon
ed attacked the whole system of pro-
motion as species of favoritism
which was not warranted by the.faets.
The administration was defended by.
Hale, Chandler and Lodge, Senator
Lindsay found much in the,ppomotlon
ocf both, Schley and Sampson over
Commodore Watson to- condemn.
Watson undoubtedly would have made
a fine record in the war if given the
opportunity he. should have, had as
senior officer andtsaid that to deprive
him of his rightful rank because. of
other tthfye me-, men pressed to the. front and
given posts of honor, was in every way
unfair, and unworthy of this great
country.

Oewey's Life a Lesson for Every
Young Naval Officer,

4 II has been said that Commodore
Dewey soughtito Obtain the command
of the AsIatie station sbecause he fore
saw the opportunity that was to come
to him. In one sense this is true
Dewey has always been man of action
natural fighter That he went glad
ly to the East Indies command, when
at least two other fiag-officers could
. have had. 1t If they had wanted and
that he preferred taking service afoat
TO any kind OF comfortable duty on
shore, Is true; but 1t was the seaman's
instinct that led him, rather than any
prophetic power. There were several
questions of grave importance likely
to come before the country, and. Com
mOdore Dewey knew that the man in
command at sea is the man who is in
a position to make opportunities for
himself; while the men who cling to
easy billets ashore must-when war
clouds. threaten--stand around and
wait for chances to come to them. 1t
was no mere chance that put George
Dewey In command in the East; it
was the logical working out OF the
principles of lifetime. The men who
had always had sufficient influence to
keep them in time OF peace in easy
places In New York and Washington
while Others did the hard work of the
service at sea, discovered that all their
influence could not give them the
places Of danger and of honor in time
OF war, 1t was a good lesson for the
navy. and should be remembered by
every yo4ng OHlcer.-From Harpers

Encouragement to the dealers by ex-
