NAVY PROMOTIONS.

NAVY PROMOTIONS.
The public was hardly prepared for
the way in which the rewards were
bestowed upon the officers of the Navy
for their share in the war. But so long
as George Dewey was made full
Admiral there will be general acqui-
escence in the way the rest of the
honors were distributed. The main
thing was to have Dewey made an
Admiral. This brings about wholly
unprecedented state of things. Dewey
now far outranks everybody in the
Army or Navy. An Admiral ranks
with General, and we have at present
nothing higher in the Army than a
Major-General, so that Dewey is two
grades above Gen. Miles. Heretofore
the Navy has had hard work in getting
as much recognition in rank as the
Army. Upto the rebellion we had moth
ing higher in the Navy than q Commo-
dore, who ranks with Brigadier-
General. During that time the Army
had had many Major-Gencrals, and two
LieEtenant-G Generals. When the Army
WAS reorcanized at The close of the
rebellion, the rank of General was
created for Gen. Grant, and Gen
Sherman as his successor, with the rank
of Lieutenant-Gencral for Sherman in
the meanwhile, and for Sheridan when
Sherman became a full General.
Similarly the rank Of Admiral was
created for Farragut, and Vice Admiral
for Porter, with the provision that
Porter should succeed Farragut, and
Rowan succeed Porter rs Vice Admiral,
ard that the offices of Admiral and
Vice Admiral should cease upon the
deaths of Porter and Rowan.
Rcar-Admirals we're created to cor
respond with Major-Gcnerals. Now the
Navy will have an Admiral as long as
Geo. Dewey lives, while the Army has no
immediate prospect Of any officer higher
than Il Major-Gencral.
The Navy Department wanted to COM
plete its Hierarchy by making Sampson
4 Vice Admiral and Schlcv a Rear
Admiral, but the row between the
partisans Of these two defeated this,
and threatened tie success If the Navy
Personnel Bill, for wlicl, the Navy
has hecn struggling for many wears
Thereupon the Department promptly
lis tactics. 1t submitted to
Congress for general promotion the
list of officers as it stood OH the Naval |
Register before the breaking out of the
war. The bill abolished the Office Of
Commod ore, but provided for Is Rear
Admirals, the first nine Of whom should |
rank as Major Generals, and the other
nine as Brigadier- Generals. In this list
Schley stands two numbers ahead of
Sampson, but Schiey will be at the tail
Of tic Maior-GeneraI class, while Samp-
son will he second in that of the Briga-
diers.
As the bill promotes substantially |
every officer in the Navy and Marine
Corps, as it gives them tie same pay as
officers Of the Army, and as it nerges the
Engineers into the line, it gives great |

Pretoria, Nov. 22.-The following dis
patch has been received from the Boer
headquarters nearLadysmith: The field
comets of the Pretoria commando re-
ported that British gun carriages and
some horsemen had been heard moving
last night in Ladysmith. Our outposts
observed the British endeavoring to sor-
tie toward Lombard's Kop and Bull
wanna hill, where our Maxims opened
fire The range was too great, and
therefore our artillery began Smelling,
which drove the British back. About
daybreak the British batteries fired
upon our positions. Two burghers were
wounded
1T is supposed that the object of the
sorties was to relieve the Estcourt force,
who had sent an urgent message to
Ladysmith requesting aid. The burghers
captured the messenger, but finally al
lowed him to proceed"
1t is reported that the Natal police
have captured number of Transvaal
dispatch riders In his latest report,
Gen. Joubert says: Il am cutting off the
retreat of the Estcourt troops to PETER

1t is also reported that the Boer COM
mander with the forces near Ladysmith
has comparatively surveyed the diff
terent points from which the fall of
Ladysmith can be insured"

several men, dispensing them and re-

and carrying off several of the men as

The women are the wives and the

This evidence of giving in aroused

which resulted yesterday afternoon in
a mass meeting of the women at Nanti-

Fiery speeches were made about

Lynn, Nov. 22.-SEdward Scheuter Of

pany M, Seventeenth United States in

Philippines, where he was two months
on the firing line, tells a revolving story
of the treachery of some American SOL

other, have been dishonorably dis
charged from the army.
He said that many of the Filipino
commands are differed by these Ameri-
cans, the rebel commanders Offering
large inducements in the way of salary
and position to any who will forsake
the American army. He says these
traitors are a reckless class, and in a
great part to their energy is due the
tenacity OF the rebellion.
He said these American soldiers led
the Filipinos in several of the fercest
engagements, and play an important
part in keeping alive the spirit of re-
bellion among the fragments of Aguin-
aldos commands.

Barlow S. Weeks Denies
That Molineux Lacks
Reason.

New York, Nov, 22.-The dramatic
feature in connection with the trial of
Roland B. Mo1ineux on the charge of
causing the death by poison of Mrs.
Catherine ]. Adams, occurred when
Barlow s. Weeks, counsel for the pris-
oner, protested against the publication
of a story in an evening paper to the
effect that "as last resort" the plea
of the defense would be insanity. Mr..
Weeks addressing the court, said that
in his judgment the publication of the
article was a serious interference with
justice.
He declared that the defendant was
and always had been sane. He asked
an opportunity to take such steps in
the matter as would enable the de-
PENDANT to secure free and complete
justice.
Recorder Golf stated that Mr.. Weeks
might present to the court any inform
alton concerning the matter that the
defendant might see fit to produce. He
asserted that the court would consider
the subject and make a disposition of
1t in accordance with the merits of the
case. Dist. Att. Osborne concurred
with Mr. Weeks and pledged his hearty
cooperation.

chicago, Nov. 22.-Mrs. w. D.Moseley
of 4319 Lake avenue burst into tears,
threw herself into her husbands arms
and tainted before she could be carried
from the courtroom after having been
dismissed by Justice Martin on a
charge of robbery.
About her clustered a group of styl-
ishly attired residents of Kenwood and
HYDE Park, most of whom shed tears
TO demonstrate their sympathy. A few
minutes before five witnesses had iden
titled Mrs. Moseley as the companion
of ]. II. Farnbecker and a party of
jewellers Friday night. The climax of
the evening had been the disappear
ance of Farnbecker's companion and
the subsequent discovery that a dia-
mond stud valued at $3.50 and currency
amounting to $15S had gone simultan-
eously.
Mr.. Moseley swore that his wife had
been with him at home at the hour in
question. A number of other witnesses

JUSTICE CALLS BOTH SIDES SIN

Justice Martin heard the conflicting
evidence and turned to the prisoner.
"All the witnesses are speaking the
truth, or are seeking to-" said he.
This woman has suffered much, very
much. and she is innocent. 1t is a case
of mistaken identity. l can see how it
was brought about, for you bear
striking resemblance to one of the most
clever thieves that operate in Chica-

When the magistrate had finished his
remarks Mrs. Moseley whispered one
word, "Vindicated!" and fell into hys
terics into the arms of her husband.
Saturday when on the way to the
theatre with her sister and her two
little children she was pointed out by
Farnbecker as the woman who had
robbed him. Farnbecker held a war
rant calling for the arrest of "a to be
pointed OUT and her arrest was made
by Detectives Early and Thompson.
Mrs Moseley is the wife Of w, D.
Moseley. an employee of the business
Office Of the Illinois Central railroad. He
engaged Attorney Thomas S. Hogan to
represent his wife and after the decis-
ion instructed the lawyer to secure a
warrant for the arrest Of Farnbecker
and to bring suit against him. The lat
ter is said to be a wealthy resident of
Linton, Ind.
The police claim that they now know
the identity of the woman who robbed
Linton.

Washington, Nov. 22.-An interesting
feature in connection with the three
Dewey deeds now on file with the re-
corder of deeds, was noted this after
noon. The first deed fled, that by
which George Dewey, ct ex transfers
the Rhode Island avenue property to
John w. Crawford, although dated No
vember 14th, was not acknowledged be-
fore a notary public until the 18th in
slant.
The second deed, by which Crawford
transferred the property to Mrs. Dew
by which George Dewey and Mrs. Dew
ey turn over the title to George G..
Dewey were both, according to the
dates as set forth In the papers, ac-
knowledged the 14th instant. In other
words, it would seem Crawford trans
ferred the property to Mrs. Dewey, and
the latter, in turn, to George G. Dewey,
two days before Admiral Dewey trans
ferred the title to Crawford.
SWIFT CHANGE OF TITLE.
So swift have been the lightning
change transfers of the Dewey gift
house that Washington is still in a state
of beWilderment over the whole affair
and many are asking themselves today:
What neXt?" So unsettled Is the pub
lie mind regarding the matter that the
people hardly know what to make of
Admiral Dewey's explanation and John
r. McLean's commentary on the adj
miral's motives in arranging the double
transfers. The differences between the
statements of Dewey and his brother
in-law do not tend to add clearness to
public opinion.
The deeds transferring the house
from Mrs. Dewey to George Goodwin
ed today. The papers bear the same
Dewey to his wife. 1t is plain that the
admiral is deeply panied by the man
ner in which the people have viewed his
course in regard to the house. While he
was speaking of the matter at his
home he showed intense emotion. He
paced the floor nervously. His voice was
at times so husky that his words were
scarcely distinguishable.

Tournaments in Billiards, Pool, Whist
and Pitch Arranged.
The Shaffner club has inaugurated
tournaments in billiards, pool, whist
and pitch to run during the winter
months. Each is in charge of a capable
committee. They will be carried
through on lines similar to the tourna-
ments of last winter, which were re-
markedly successful, rejecting much
credit on the members who managed
the respective Journeys and on the con-
testants for their punctuality and de-
sire to assist in reaching a successful
conclusion.
The pool tournament has been started
and a few games played. The entry
lists in the others have not closed. In
the pool tournament regular rules will
govern. The game will be continuous
pool of 100 points. Every contestant
will play one game with every other
contestant. A rule has been adopted
requiring the signature of every con-
testant to the games he wins or loses,
with the signature Of the referee of
that contest, which is a wise plan, as
it will absolutely prevent any mis-
takes. The members entered are di-
Yided into three classes and handi-
capped according to the classes. The
entries and handicaps are as follows:
Scratch, Hill and Estey; 10 balls. Alex
ander, Park, Atwood and Montague; Is
balls, Jewett, Taylor and Farmer; 20

The committee in charge of the pool
tournament consists of Charles S. Park,

THE DAYS BOND SALES.
New York Municipal Loan Stiffens the
Money Rate.

Money Rate.
New York, Nov 22-The sub treasury
purchased bonds calling for the dis
bursement of 100000 today. Of this
amount 100000 was paid for the per
cent bonds. Yesterdays transactions on
account of the bond purchase gave
debit balance against the sub treasury
of $1,000, ia at the clearing house today.
This is the second largest debit bal
ance that the sub-treasury has had
since the bond purchases released some
of the treasury cash in this city. To-
days payments bring the sub-treasury
bond disbursements to about SO, 30O 000
1t was pointed out today in banking
circles that the financing of the city
loan requiring $5,050900, caused sitter
rates for money today. City bonds have
thirty years to run, pay 81 per cent in
terest and cost but 106. Four per cent
government bonds, redeemable under
the treasury circular. have only eight
years to run and bring 113; the per cent
issue natures in five years and sells
for Ill. For this reason it will be seen
that savings banks could easily afford
to turn over their four and Ave per cent
bonds to the government, investing the
proceeds in long term municipal securi-
ties at a profitable basis. A local saw
ings institution is said to have secured
most Of the city bonds
