At time when the country is facing a
danger to which no one likes to give a
name. when the Government is engaged
in protecting lives and property in terri
tory which Providence has committed to
its charge. it pleases the Democratic mi
nority in the House of Representatives to
express their sympathy with the Tagal
rebels and the foreign influences interested
in driving US out of the Philippines
This active encouragement TO the insur-
rection that our soldiers and sailors are
fighting and risking their lives TO suppress,
in behalf of national honor and humanity.
and this open invitation to the powers of
Europe TO interfere with American rights
and duties amounts TO crime that the
American people will find it hard to forget
and harder to forgive.
With the fervor of the interest we
have left in the Democratic party we
should. perhaps, pray that the memory pf
last nights work on Capitol Hill might be
lost before the Presidential election of 1900.
But We offer no such prayer. On the con-

hope on high that the American people

Although it is recognized by the dean
and chapter that the Percys have pre-
scriptive right to burial in Westminster
Abbey, much doubt prevails concerning
the legal value of this right. In some
confidential manuscript notes, written or
dictated By Dean Stanley shortly before
his DEATH explanatory OF his views and
practice as regards the giving or with
holding his assent to interments in the
Abbey, he mentions four interments In
the Percy vault as instances of the only
prescriptive right of any of the great
families that is still preserved in the Alb
bey In the same way. says the London
correspondent of the Manchester Guard
ian" Dean Bradley told the royal COM
mission on Westminster Abbey in 1880
that there is prescriptiye right that the
Percys may claim to be buried in the
Percy vault" Dean Bradley. however.
added that he was unable TO trace the
legal value OF this prescriptiye right, and
that as q matter of fact the vault was
becoming full, there being already twenty
i've collins in it.

the Chapel of St. Nicholas. originally be-

Sampson's Santiago Trick

The Chicago Tribune" of Sunday pub
fishes the correspondence that caps the eli
max OF the Sampson scandal. We reprint
it in full elsewhere. 1t does not require a
word of explanation, and it renders argu-
Inent useless. The facts can be stated
very briefly and they tell their own story
On May 70, Secretary Long cabled Samp-
son that he should establish close block
ade al Cienfuegos with as little delay as
possible. On the same day the Secretary
wired Sampson that the report of Ger
yera's presence in Santiago Harbor might
well be correct and advised him TO send
word Immediately By the Iowa TO Schley
TO proceed at once of Santiago de Cuba
with his whole command" Without
waiting for any response Long notified the
Minneapolis and Yale to proceed at once
10 Santiago. and cautioned the latter TO
inform every vessel off Santiago that the
Flying Squadron is OF Cienfuegos. and
that orders have been sent to II TO pro-
coed with all possible dispatch off Santiago
de Cuba
The Secretary OF the Navy obviously as
sumed that Captain Sampson, acting as rear
admiral and eommander-in- chief, under
an Illegal assignment, would instantly obey
and give effect to these peremptory orders.
Knowing the individual as the country
now does. it would have been strange If
he had done so, and, VIGOROUSLY, he did
not. On the contrary, he ignored the in
formation in possession Of the Navy De-
partment and its orders, and replied that
he had decided in favor of the plan
already adopted 10 hold the position at
Cienfuegos, with the Brooklyn, Massachu-
sets. Iowa, Marbehead, Castine. Dupont,
Jnd two auxiliary vessels" Thereupon,
Sampson sent to Schley the following dis
patch, suppressing II ever since:
Hold your feet of Cienfuegos-if the Spanish
slps have put into Santiago they must come

munitions of war which they are said TO bring
