ADMIRAL SCHLEY is man after the
Presidents own heart; ne accepts witt
becoming grace any position to which
the friends, of Admiral Sampson may
assign him, and more, too; he calls al
the White House and tells the President
that the Marylanders who protested
against the evil treatment that has
been accorded him, did SO without his
knowledge or consent. Then, too, the
Admiral is wise; ne told Sampson there

sinking the fleeing Spanish ships, though
few other people could see there YVES

WEDNESDAY EVENING. SEPT. 20 1898

THOSE Northern republicans VINO
take delight in calling better Informed
and wiser people traitors, because
they oppose the cruel, unjust, unneces-
sary and most expensive war upon the
natives of the Philippine islands, either
have never read even the modern MS
tory of their own country, or have Tor
gotten it, as, otherwise, it is hardly pos
sible they could float and sccFn, as
thew do. the memory of Mr.. Lincoln,
whom they profess TO regard as an mn
nitely greater man than General Wash
ipgtoD. He, during the Mexican war;
said that war was unnecessarily
and unconstitutionally begun by tue
President of the United States, whom
he accused of the sheerest deception,
evasion and equivocation, and OF beng
conscious of the fact that the blood OF
that war was, like that Of Abel, crying
to heaven against him, and who, as a
member of Congress, voted for reso-
luton to that effect, and for bringing
that war to speedy conclusion,
and that having done so, was
considered such feather in his
cap, in the North, that one OF
his biographers, Holland, parades it as
conclusive proof of his greatness. But
Northern republicans have long since
looked upon Washington as on old
fogy, and for some time have begun to
take the same view of Lincoln.

Mems Association and the leading citi-
zens had prepared to make it gala

The members Of the grand lodge. who
were 10 conduct the ceremonies, and
two score of railway officials arrived
Monday night and yesterday morning
to take part in the celebration, and
everything was in readiness for a big
day.
By 10 o'clock rain commenced to fall

cramme was changed so that only the
Masonic service OF laying the corner.

the attendants hurried to the Academy

The speakers were Judge r. T. W.

master of Masons in Virginia; Hon.
Eugene Withers, of Danville, and Col.

Steve O'Donnel. boxing instructor ST Har-

eidered master of pugilistic scieace, al
though never rated as first class fighter, was
made to look like an inexperienced novice by
Kid McCoyat the Broadway Athletic Club in
New York last night. The battle only lasted
six rounds. and in that time O'Donnell took
a frightfu beating. He was finally knocked
into q state of complete submission, and when
he had boon counted out he was unreccguizs-
bic. Mccoy could probably have ended the
fight in jig lime, as he clearly outclassod the
former Australian.
