Washington Special in Chicago Post

opctlcl III SH1CdSO 1OSI.
The report of the Wade court of INQUIRY
on the beef scandals gives general satisfac-
ton. 1t is acknowledged TO be an impartial
finding based on the evidence, and is so
temperate In tone that everybody seems dis
posed to acquiesce in the decision 1t is not
what General Miles would best like to have
had and it is not what the officials of the
War Department would have liked best. but
IL takes a fair middle ground, and indica-
lions are that ii will be the last chapter
in a scandal which has been disagreeable
from the outset, and which has produced
nothing but discord, generalization and in
trigues without doing any good. General
Miles would have come out much better but
for his delay in reporting on the poor food
which he believed was being served to the
soldiers in the field. That delay cast a
doubt on his motives and upon the sincerity
of his plea that he was taking & stand
against the War Department on behalf OF
the CONNIE soldiers" He let the com
mon soldiers suffer from early in August
until late in December. although confessed
ly in possession of facts that he believed
to be of vital concern to the army in the
field.

Senatorial Meddlfng.
Washington Special.

Senatorial interference with the reorgani-
cation Of the House of Representatives is
being more bitterly resented sthan ever be-
fore. There is already considerable show
of i'll feeling on account of the active in
tereSt that some of the senators are taking
in the election of speaker. and bad temper
on that account is likely to intensity instead
of diminish. Senator Plat. of New York.
especially is SHINING in this respect. He is
represented to be pulling wires in every di-
rection for Candidate Sherman and to be
making himself offensive in opposition to
Candidates Payne, Moody, Hopkins. Hen
derson and others. The Senate has always
been a great stickler for the proposition
that each branch Of Congress shall attend
strictly 10 its own business 1t swells up
and gets red in the face at the ~faintest sug-
gestion of interference from the House or
House members in Senate affairs. The
House, on the other hand. has never been
especially jealous of senatorial interference,
but this year the line will be drawn more
sharply, and senators who become per-
niciously active in trying to run the House
and seeking to influence the selection Of a
speaker will take the risk of a call-down
and of being blacklisted if they do MT take
the hint and draw off,

telegram from Captain Coghlan was received
at the Navy Department this Afternoon.
dated Charleston, S. c.:
While attempting to enter the channel
between the jetties at go o'clock this morn
ing. the Raleigh, going at S2 knots, ram
aground OH the spit OF Northboro, abreast
the outer black buoy. Every effort 10 get
her off failed. Will have TO wait high tide
at Z o'clock. The ship is lying perfectly
quiet with the wind on Shore and very little
dead swell. No injury as far as can be
ascertained. Have engaged tug and revenue

avoidable risk in taking a vessel OF such
draft as the Raleigh into a jetted harbor.
The Raleigh draws fully nineteen feet Of
