A SATISFACTORY ENDING.
Admiral schley indicated by the Action
Of Congress.

AoihiFai schley indicated by the Action
0fCongress.
From the Chicago Times-Herald
II was significant of popular sentiment
N at IN the closing hours of the Fifty-
nIth Congress, when the members of tho
house or Representatives were veIcon1ina,
their successors of the Fifty-sixtb virb
cheers. they closed the scene with cheers
Tor the army and navy, then for Admiral
Dewey and then for Rear Admiral rcbIev
Some hours before the Senate had coz
frmed Schley in his place on the roll If
the navy two grades above Sampson by
refusing to act on the recommendation
that advanced the latter by giving him
eight numbers to six for Schiey. The
House by its cheers for the one and neg
lect for the other accented the act of the
Senate.
1t is safe to say that the people CT the
United States acuuiesced in this disposi-
ton Of the unseemly controversy. which
apparently was precipitated by the zeal
lousy of Admiral Sampson of a brother e.
ficer over whom he had been temporarily
advanced.
There is glory enough for all" was
Schley's attitude.
There is no recognition for you" was
the silent retort Of SIMPSONS official re-
port Of the battle of Santiago. TO this
slight he added the words "reprehensible
conduct in communication to the Sec
rotary Of the Navy. which prejudiced Mr.
Long against Commodore Scnley.
Schley endured the sights with silent
dignity until they We're embodied in an
official communication TO a committee Of
the Senate. Then having first obtained
the proper permission Of the Navy De
partment. he placed the facts before the
same committee.
These facts, borne out by documents,
exonerated Schley from any reprehensible
conduct, they proved that his delay in
reaching Santiago was due to an order
from Sampson, which the latter had rot
filed with the department. and that The
order itself countermanded urgent orders
from Secretary Long.
