The The Schley court of in-
 Schley quiry is at work and began
 Inquiry. it's deliberations by drop ping Rear-Admiral Howison who had expressed sentiments that were dis paraging to Schley, and by accepting Ramsay in his place. The court has to do with Admiral Schley's action off Cienfuegos, his leaving Santiago un- guarded, and his maneuver of the bat tleship Brooklyn in describing the fa- nous Hoop" during the battle of San- tiago. There is no doubt but what there will be dreary mass of details and charges and counter charges un- til the public will wish that the whole business was in the bottom of the sea. These petty quarrels between officers, whereby the battles are all fought overi again on paper, is folly of the worst kind. There was honor enough for all of the officers without fighting over it like dogs quarreling over a bone.

Breeding The English bookpub-
 Butterflies. fisher, c. J. Lingman, suggested to the London council the idea of having butterflies in the public parks as an adornment. The idea is being carried out and a small glass house has been built in one of the London parks where the caterpillars are being fed and where they will spin themselves up and come out next sea- son as butterflies. Care was taken to secure only those varieties that would be harmless to foliage and the Red Admiral the Peacock and the Tor tOise Shell were the kinds chosen. If the plan succeeds it is suggested that butterflies from other lands be import ed and so the parks of London be made more beautiful than ever. New York will have to take up the fad if London succeeds in it's butterfly cul- ture.

The OUTLOOK.

Senator Senator Wellington in
 Wellington. this national mourn ing over dead President has been making spectacle of himself that is neither creditable to himself nor an honor to humanity. He is reported to have said immediately after the as- sault on the President when ap preached by newspaper reporters: "I have nothing to say, Mckinley and l are enemies. He has been guilty of unpardonablc offence toward me. I cannot say anythng good for him, and I do not think it is just time to say anything bad. despise the man. I have no use for him and there is no reason for my saying anything. 1 am totally indifferent in the matter" His utterance has cost the Senator his membership in the Union League club of Maryland, and if his election was at hand would cost him his seat in the Senate. Such bitterness of hatred is more like that of brute than of man, and the people of Mary land will do we'll to paste this utter ance in their hats for reference on next election day. Wellington will be good name to drop from the roll of our honorable Senators.

President Shaetfer for the the work men signed the contract with Presi- dent Schwab of the Steel Trust and the workmen were permitted to go to work again. It has not resulted in much of victory for the strikers. There were no very good grounds for the strike and the general public has felt that the workers were hardly justi- fled in their efforts. The loss of wages for ten weeks and the loss of profits during busy part of the year are about all the tangible results that have materialized from the strike.
