S5HLEY CONES OUT AHEAD.
The Most Bitter Feud in Nays
History Apparently Ends.
Proofs OF an Edition Of Baltimore Ameri-
can Making Charges Against Sampson
and CrOwninshfeld shown to the
Administration Leaders.

It will be remembered that the
administration Of William Mckinley
has been disgraced by both army and
navy scandals. With Alger as secretary
Of war, pets were made Of Shafter and
Otis, and both Gen. Miles and Gen.
Merritt were ignored. In the navy,
with Long at the head OF affairs, Ssmp-
son was the administration favorite
and Schley was ignored. Sampson was
promoted and even given a command
over Schley, although Schley was rank
ing officer.
Fortune however favored Schley and
he won the victory9over Cer7era's feet
in the absence Of Sampson, bat the lat
ter in his official report to the secretary
Of the navy never mentioned Schley
or his part in the glorious victory. 1t
was an exhibition Of ittleness and
meanness that the people have not
forgotten.
These things we're not enough TO
manifest the animus Of the admins
tratiOn and both Secretary Long and
Chief Of Navigation CrowninshieId
sought in other ways TO humiIiate aud
smirch Schley. They reported that be
was subject to court martial for disc
bedience of orders, in exercising his
discretion on the cruise after Cervera's
feet.
The people and congress would not
have it that way and the administra-
tons attempt to put Sampson ahead
Of Schley and make him a ranking rear
admiral has failed, and Schley will now
rank next to Dewey and be two num-
bers ahead of Sampson. The story Of
how the administration was called
down and made to come of on the per-
secutiOn Of Schley is quite the most
interesting part Of this bitter fued.
Gen. Felix Angus, a civil war veteran
and a republican, is the publisher Of
the Baltimore American and to him is
due the credit Of ending the unjust
discrimination against his friend, Ad-
miral Schley. Sampson is a New York
er and a republican while Schley is a
Marylander and a democrat. But the
old general favored fair play and set
to work to discover the cause Of this
outrageous treatment Of Schley. Gen.
Angus employed an expert reporter
last August to work up the case and
this is what was found.

CroFninshield vas formerly in com
mand Of the Maine, and while on
practice cruise of the coast Of South
Carolina he lost two seamen overheard.
A court Of inquiry vas established, enc
member Of which was Schley. II was
shown that CroWninshield put to sea
without properly. according to naval
r1les, eqUipping his vessel and this
neglect was responsible for the loss Of
the two seamen- Sehley was strongly
in favor Of court martial but the other
members Of the board out-Yoted him.
So the bureaucratic CroWninshield
has been trying to get it back at Schley.
The shrewd and indefatigsble repOr-
ter also found something damaging to
Sampson while he was at the head Of
the Annapolis Naval academy. He en-
listed two men as cooks for his family
establishment, and by the naval regu-
lations these men are allowed one so
and the other $50 per month and
rations, but Sampson held back one
half Of their wages. He was sued by
these men in Anne Arundle county,
Maryland, and q judgment Of s1y4OO
was given against him. The reporter
chased this thing down from Annapolis
to SanFranciscO, at Mare Island, where
the judgment was paid by Sampson.
This OfFense is declared in the revised
statutes to be punishable with both
fine and imprisonment.
Gen. Angus got up a special edition
Of an eight page paper filed with the
case, had it stereOtyped and ready for
the press. But one copy was run of
which, according to report, was taken
to Washington and its contents shown
some Of the republican party leaders,
with the promise that a million copies
would be printed and circulated unless
the fight on Schley was called of.
There was a change of front immedi-
ately. The administration and its hire
lings we're willing to quit. No more
copies Of the paper were printed but
the forms are kept In readiness should
occasion call for future use. However,
the story is out as the New York World
recently published the whole thing, IN
substance.
The unjustness Of the edministra-
tons treatment Of Schley is seen by
the sending Of the hero of Santiago
on a long cruise in South American
waters while Sampson enjoys shore
leave in Boston. Admiral Cervera re-
ported to his government that it was
Scbley and the Brooklyn that was the
main factor in his defeat st Santiago.
Schley penned up the Spanish feet at
Santiago and destroyed it when Cervers
came out. Now Schley is sent to steam
and brOil on fever coast and Sampson,
the administration pet who did not do
anything at Santiago, is at his ease in
Boston on shore leave.

MAJORS CEMENT.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man of New
York, explains some very interesting facts about
Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard article
know that it is many hundred per cent better
than other cements, for which similar claims
are made. but a great many do not know why.
The simple reason is that Mr.. Major uses the
best materials ever discovered ana other man
ufacturers do not use them, because they are too
expensive and no not allow large profits. Mr.
Major tells Us that one o. the elements OF his
cement costs S3.75 pound. and another costs
8. IS a gallon. while a large share OF the so
called cements and liquid glue upon the market
nc acid, and, in some cases, altered slightly IN
color and OdOr By the addition Of cheap and
useless materials
Majors cement retails at iteen cents and
twenty-five cents a bottle, and when dealer
tries to sell a substitute you can depend upon
il that his only object Is to make larger profit.
The profit Majors cement Is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement. And
this is doubly true IN view Of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit OF Mr.. Maj
or's advertising. which now amounts TO over
5000 a month. throughout the country

FAKE POLICEMAN.
Hotel Runner After Insulting a
Girl Threatened to Arrest
Her.

While Miss Annie Schaefer, of No. SIT
Bloomfield street, Hoboken, was walking
through Hudson Square Park last evening,
in company with her mother and cousin
named Anthony Leon, she was approach
ed by a man who addressed her with in
sulting language. She paid no attention
to the man at first, but he was 80 daring
that she was obliged to call her cousin to
her assistance When Leon interfered the
man opened his coat and displaying a
shield said that he would arrest the en-
tire party Miss Schaefer did not believe
the fellow was policeman and she at
tempted to inspect the shield. AS she
stepped forward the man slapped her on
the face.
Policeman John Meyers, who witnessed
the assault, placed the man under ar
rest Upon inspecting the shield Meyers
found it to be hotel runners license of
New York. The prisoner described him
self as Paul N. Meyer, q years old, of
No. 81 Greenwich street, New York. He
said he was a runner for the Hotel Grit
ley of No 63 Greenwich street Acting

ton will occur in Newton. September 26,
and there promises to be bitter fight for
TIE nomination. Congressman Salmon,
doubtless, feels that he is entitled to a
denomination, and Morris County dele
gates will give a solid vote for him, but
Hunterdon County politicians ask for
recognition, claiming that as Morris
County allowed her candidate, the late
Augustus w. Cutler, to be defeated in
1885, and was thus represented by Re-
publican-SenatorPitn county will
not be set back any more.
There Is a scheme afoat, however, by
which both Morris and Hunterdon coun-
ties may be placed upon the shelf and
State Senator Martin of Sussex may Sc
cure the plum. This may result If the
Morris delegation can be split up by pre-
senting the name of former Mayor Ed
ward A. Quayle, of this city; former State
Senator Elias c. Drake of Chester, or
former Judge Willard W. Cutler of
Morristown and the Hunterdon delega-
tion can be divided over three or four
candidates, then Warren and Sussex can
reasonably say that in offering the solid
delegation of the two counties for Mr.
Martin he will be certain of the nominal
tion
Hunterdon's choice is former Senator
Richard S. Kuhl, of Pennington Other
eligible ones who may be pushed for the
coveted nomination are Chester Van
Syckel, brother of Supreme Court JUS
tice Bennett Van Syckel, and former
Judge o. p. Chamberlain.
