Mr. Perry Heath has bIossomed out In
London as the gIorifier of Marcus A
Hanna. whom he considers the easiest
man in America to elect President in 1891
OF course It may not be true just because
AIr Heath thinks it is. and everybody may
not agree with him. The paTriality Of
strong friendship is no doubt his EXCUSE
and kind Of vague iIea that al aEitera-
tive ticket bearing the legend 'Heuna and
Heath" would look nicely on she campaign

Thompson Exonerates Sampson.
New York. Oct. S.-Colonel Robert
NJ. Thompson, president of the United
States naval academy alumni assocla-
ton, has made a statement to the AS
ISOLATED Press in connection with the
Schley inquiry in which he deals par
ticularly with the story published
some months ago, alleging that Samp-
son approved of the statement that
Schley was a coward and caititf, which
was the gist of Historian MacLay's
charge against Schley. On this point
Thompson says that on reading the
proofs of the book, Sampson, when he
came to that declaration, was very
much angered and said that the state
ment was one the author had no right
to make, that it was unjust and unfair
to speak of any naval officer in such
terms, and declined to have anything
further to do with the proofs. Samp-
sons secretary, however, continued
the reading and because the
handwriting was the same as
where the admiral was giving it his
personal attention MacLay presumed
the statement had SIMPSONS ap-
prevail. The order of the secretary of
the navy forbidding naval omcers to
make any statement for publication
regarding the controversy was issued
Immediately after and prevented the
above correction from being officially
made.

SCHLEY DID RIGHT
SAYS HODCSON

Washington, Oct. S.-Lieutenant
Commander Hodgson yesterday again
occupied the greater part of the time
of the Schley court of inquiry as a
witness. He was followed by Captain
Folger, formerly chief of the bureau
of ordinance of the navy department,
but commander of the New Orleans
during the Spanish war. Lieutenant
Dyson was also recalled to add some
details of his former testimony con-
corning the coal supply of the fleet
during the Santiago blockade.
Commander Hodgson repeated and
extended his story of the battle Of
June 8, giving his opinion that Com
modore Schley's conduct on that occa-
sion was such as the commander-in-
chiefs should have been. He also ex-
planned at some length the CORES
pondence with Schley concerning the
alleged colloquy between them while
the Santiago enga cement was in prog
ress. He said he had had no contro-
versy with the commodore, but repeat
ed that the commodore said damn the
Texas when told that that vessel
was in danger. Captain Folger said
the commandments of the Cristobal Co
lon May 81 were eminently successful
in developing the strength of the
Spanish shore batteries and had
shown them very weak. He also said
if the Spanish vessels had attempted
to escape at night they could not have
