One of the Best-Equipped Mines in
the Bituminous Region of
Pennsylvania Burning.

Irwin, Pa, Aug. 27.-A fierce fire is
raging in the Ocean mine, at Her
mimic. and the flames can not be con-
trolled. Water was turned in Satur-

No one was in the mine when it
took fire. The Ocean mine is one of
the best equipped in the bituminous
region and the loss will be large.

The naval court of inquiry which will
convene in the city Of Washington to-
morrow will consider and determine
one of the most celebrated eauses in the
military history OF our nation. While
courts of inquiry and courts-martial,
oftentimes involving officers OF high
rank. are not ipfrequent, no one cause
ever brought together as many officers
of high rank and distinguished posi-
tion as will this one.
At the head of the court, as its pres
ident. is Admiral George Dewey, the
hero OF Manila, the highest In rank Of
all our naval officers. Associated with
him as judges in the case are two OF
the rear admirals on the retired list

for many years. The judge advocate,
or governments legal representative,
will be Captain Lemley, who for 10
years has been the chief legal oficer OF
the Navy Department, with the title OF
Judge advocate general, and who, dur
ing his active sea service, saw arduous
duty, requiring frequent exhibitions of
personal courage.

miral Sampson to have shown a SINH
Tar spirit, At the time the battle OF
July Sd began Sampson was absent
under the orders Of the department.
He did not at any time return TO a
position where he could take part in
the fighting, or resume command OF the
American feet until after the battle,
which moved constantly westward, was
ended at that particular point. The
spirit Of justice and fairness, which all
officers are supposed TO exhibit toward
their brother officers should, under all
circumstances, have dictated that Ad-
miral Sampson treat Commodore
Sehley as Jervis did Nelson. Had he
done so and said In his dispatches thaJ
the battle was fought and won by the
second in command, the Schley-samp-
son controversy would never Mad been
heard of. The one question involved
N that controversy is not the mere
technical question of who was In COM
mand; the vita, issue is: By xsom
was the battle fought and won" Had
the credit been given where it belonged
in the first place Admiral SamDson
would have obtained, without delay
and without opposition, the reward
that was lie uut do ibV
fn-chief of the American forces; Com
modore Schley would long ago have
been promoted on account of having
been the victorious captain in the
greatest sea fight of modern times; all
the officers of the American feet would
have been given their just rewards, and
the Schley-Sampson controversy would
never have been heard Of, for the good
and sufficient reason that the cause
for that controversy would never have
existed.
But the attempt of one man to gain
unearned hero's laurels was n OF
those stupendous errors of judgment
for which no occasion existed, which
was committed on the spur of the mo-
ment, and which, being persisted in,
is still without adequate excuse and
which has led to the scandal about to
be ventilated before the Schley court
of inquiry. Just here a word is pro-
per about the converting of this court.
Admiral Sehley has been criticised for
not sooner demanding that a court be
convened to determine the propriety
of his conduct. Such criticism is
without reason.
Schleys DEMAND Tor the Sourt.
No formal charges have ever been
preferred by anybody against Admiral
Schley. On the contrary, the Navy
Department has repeatedly and dis
tinctly stated that it had no fault to
find with his conduct, and it gave pos
tive evidence of this in twice recon-
mending him for promotion because
of the part he played IA the battle OF
July 3. The only criticism or accusa-
ton of Admiral Schley has been of an
unofficial nature. Newspapers have
heaped invective upon him, and naval
officers who are partisan to Admiral
Sampson have doubtless criticised and
condemned Admiral Sehley; but in 50
doing they have been careful to speak
in a manner and under circumstances
that would relieve them of RESPONSE
bility for their words. The only in
stance in which an officer uttered
words derogatory of Admiral Schley
was in the case of Captain Chadwick,
who did utter certain sentiments de-
rogatory of Admiral Schley. In that
case the Navy Department at once
called Captain Chadwick to account,
and before Admiral Schley could take
