The Naval Promotions.

In spite of the tremendous efforts of the
navy ring 10 enable Sampzon to climb over
Schley's shoulders; in spite of the censure
of the latter by Secretary Long in a COM
lnunication TO the Senate: in spite Of
SIMPSONS wall TO the President and the
unwarranted letter of the President to
Sampson. the Board of Rear Admirals ap
pointed TO pass On the records of the offi-
GERS elevated to the rank of rear admi-
rals-to determine their moral, physic-l,
and professional fitness-has affirmed the
right of Admiral Schley to his advance,
which places him in the first grade and
is in the second grade. That the navy
ring will rest under this defeat is not TO
be expected but it will confirm the people
and the Senate in their opinion.
In the case of Admiral Schley the board
did mot stop with the usual perfunctory
examination. 1t was the duty of Admiral
Sampson to forward a statement of the rec
ords of all the officers who served under
him in the war, for the information of the
board. He made none regarding Admiral
Schley. Evidently ii was a difficult thing
TO do considering the report on which Sec
retary Long based his censure of Admiral
Schley and which the latter proved to have
been defective b use il did not include
letter of instr III which vindicated the
action for when he was censured. For
Sampson to make a statement not founded
on that letter would be to invite exposure
of the injustice; while to base the state
ment on that would be to insure Schley's
approval by the board. Thereupon he
simply refrained from sending any. The
board found it necessary to send a cable
message to Sampson for some sort of state
ment. as it refused to act without it. What
reply was made is not known, but clearly
it was not sufficient to accomplish the re-
lection of Schley.
The matter should rest here. The United
States Senate and the American people are
satisfied that injustice was done to an
officer who for forty years held the es-
TEEN of all his superiors and who expert
enced no trouble until accident placed him
in the way of favorite and former mem

the ring is tireless and persistent and will
never relax its pressure on Secretary Long
and the President until its object is

to fear that the President will renew the

Some HaNanese Visitors.

A couple of Cnbans who arrived in
Washington yesterday are likely to find the
climate of this latitude, and especially the
weather around the State Department and
White House, extremely severe upon per-
sons fresh from the tropical jungle known
AS the Cuban Assembly. They viii learn,
after a few days trial, that this is not
the season for turbulent people who desire
10 make difficulties for this Government to
come to its Capital. No doubt they have
been led astray by reports of the cordial
reception accorded to Agoncillo by Senator's
and others who gave their moral support

cANADA's MINERAL PRODUCT.
Enormous Increase I'm the Output of
Precious Metals.

Urbain J.. .4edoux, Consul at Three Riv-
ers, Canada, writes the State Department
that a very interesting summary OF the
Canada for 1898 has just been published
by the Canadian Geological Survey. 1t
shows that the output for the year 1898 is
considerably ahead of the previous years

OF the total output of metallic products,
valued at $21 ,622 sol, sl3. 700. 900 was in
gold. s10.000.000 of this representing the
yield of the Yukon district. Silver (ine,

(fine in ore, etc.). 81, ,S20, ,S3S; lead Zine, in
ore. etc.). 81 ,206. .399. and iron ore, $152, $40
The output of non-metallic substances
was $l5,SS4, $50, OF which coal represented
more than half. viz, sS,227.95s. Building

ment. 1891. LOG.
The estimated value of the mineral prod
ucts not returned is put down at $3.50, 900,
thus bringing the total value of the min
eral product OF the country last year TO
S37 157, 1877. or So 095, 767 more than 1897,
lowing extracts are from the pamphlet:
Compared with 1856, the first wear for which
statistics were issued an increase III the value of
mineral products in thirteen years Of nearly 2I0
per cent is found When il il remembered that
in the same period the increase ia the popula-
tion has been only about II per cent. II will be
evident that the proportional Importance Of the
mining industry to the country is very much
greater than at the beginning Of the period dealt
with. Thus. the per capita value OF the mineral
production Of the country haas increased from
about 2,21 To $40
Of the gold output, the main feature was the
large increase in that Of the Yukon. This at
counts for - .590,0D0 OF the enlargement, which
i three times great estimate output as that
for last year With the exception of the gold
wasirings % the Saskatchewan River, III the North
west Territory. there were increases i'll all the
other districts OF the Dominion.
There was an increased output OF coal in
all the different districts, and gain of 30
per cent in the output OF copper in the
province of Ontario. 4 rise in the price
of this metal makes the proportional in
crease in value greater than that for the
quantity. There has also been an increase
in the output of nickel. but a decrease in
lead silver, and asbeStus.
