ILLEGAL PROMOTION.
\ Question OF Law in the scheme to
Elevate sampson.

To the Editor of The Times:
Your editorial in The Times OF recent

versy meets so hearty an approval in my
mind as 10 induce me TO trespass upon
your time and columns with query that
seems to all TO have in its elucidation a
most important bearing upon the legality.
to say nothing of the justice. OF the pos
sible confirmation. in the Senate, of the
appointment by the President of CommO-
dore w. T. Sampson to the rank OF rear
admiral, to say nothing of an advance over
all the commodores and rear admirals
above him in the navy list, up to his des-
ignated number.
The Secretary OF the Navy has been
quoted lin the New York Times of Sep
tember 13 lasD, as stating, in Boston, on
the day previous. that ''the law allows US
to make promotions or give rewards. in
only three ways: For eminent and con-
spicuous conduct in battle for extraor-
dinary heroism,' and by the thanks of
Congress.
Accepting this statement as correct, am
anxious to ascertain what basis of a
legal character it is which enabled Captain
or Acting Rear Admiral ". I. Sampson

promoted to a rear admiral, for | have no

fail to find in his reasons therein given for
the promotion of Sampson, any compliance
with the law as expOunded by himself:
The advancement OF Admiral Sampson

execution OF his duties commander-iu-chief OF
all ships engaged in the campaign in the
West Indies; in the supervision OF all its detail,

Island OF Cuba: in the conveying and landing Of
the army and cooperation with its movements,
and in the pursuit. blockade, and destruction OF

conSummation OF his orders and preparations be-
ginning on the first day Of June. In this CON

In the light of these facts how can the
Senate legally confirm the appointment of
Sampson to be a rear admiral? Was
Sampson the only officer in the United
States Navy that was considered competent
to command the feet operating i'll Cuban
waters? It would seem that the Secretary
of the Navy thought SO. JUSTICE.

LUMBERMEN DISCOUNTED.
Failure to Agree Leaves Them in n
Serious Plight.

The failure of the Canadian-American
Joint High Commission to reach an agree
ment in the shape OF a treaty leaves the
Michigan lumbermen. who are dependent
upon Canadian timber, for their stock in
trade in what they say is serious con-
ditioD. Their representatives have been
in Washington for month or six weeks
past trying to induce the American Com
missioners to consent to a reduction Of the
duty on timber to 81 a thousand, in which
event it was supposed that the province OF
Ontario would rescind the order forbid
ding the export OF timber for manufac-
ture. They have telegraphed for former
Governor Rich of Michigan, and with him
at their head they will present a memorial
to Secretary Hay asking the United States
Government TO use its influence through
diplomatic channels to secure a revocation
of the order referred to. They say that

by these men that If the mills could Sc

The scheme is understood to be to con-

betterments, extensions, acquisitions. etc
The representatives of the United Rail-
ways are said to have proposed to exchange
one share of that company's stock. the par
value of which is $50, for four shares of
stock of the Home Telephone Company, the
par of which is $40.

II is strange that measure which has

House of Representatives. The decision of
a majority that as far as that body can
prevent it without too great scandal there
shall be no Nicaragua Canal legislation at
this session Is charged directly TO Speaker
Reed. Whether this is only because he has
been known to be opposed to every other
scheme OF the Administration. or whether
Representatives Cannon and Hopkins are
known to have received directions from

However 1t may be, it is surely some un-
common influence that can easily dis
pose of a measure which the President has
urged in special message.
1t is true that the message referred to
no particular bill, but the opposition does
not seem to be aimed entirely at a single
bill. 1t is believed that the measure adyo-

Legislators who become the voluntary
debtors of an unpopular official for such
a courtesy as junket in a Government

1t is now possible for the Senate to 2t-

the President revived public concern in the
subject, especially as he gave adequate rea-

have wanted it for years. The acquisitions

Spain make it vastly more important that
| it should be constructed. Indeed, its value
to this country has enormously increased
in the past year. Those who had only a
thought of the possible future usefulness of
a short cut from ocean to ocean now see
its immediate necessity. Compared with the
value of a canal to America. any sum that
it may cost to secure it seems trivial. If
the people do not believe in the disinter-
