hOWlSON'S LETTER.
What the Press Thinks of that Re.
markable Explanation.
PHILADELPHIA Times

The naval controversy has revealed
many personal ittlenesses unworthy
of American officers but there has
been nothing in its whole scandalous
course more unworthy and disappoint-
ing than the letter of Rear Admiral
Howison. When a question was raised
of his impartiality, and consequently
of his qualification to sit upon the
Court of Inquiry, the immediate i'm
pulse of an officer and a gentleman
must have been to ask to be relieved
of the assignment, unless he could
state emphatically that he had never
said what was attributed to him nor
had formed or expressed an opinion on
the matter in controversy. One of
these things it was taken for granted
that Admiral Howison would do. He
has done neither
His long and rambling letter to Mr..
Hackett is pitiable evasion, an
obvious attempt to avoid q direct an
swer and to conceal his bias against
Schley in food of irrelevant words.
In this he does not succeed, On the
contrary his failure clearly to disavow
the insulting interview or to resent, as
he should, the imputation of prejudice
cannot be interpreted otherwise than as
confession. And yet he does not ask
to be relieved from the Court. He
leaves it to the department instead of
leaving it to his brother officers, with
the plain intimation that he likes the
assignment
As to his miserable, pettifogging
letter, the Acting Secretary writes a
fulsome reply, calling frank and
manly . and saying that it confirms
the belief that the department has been
fortunate in selecting the third mem
Der of the Court. - There can be no
doubt of that. The department might
have searched far among the officers
of the navy before it found another SO
likely to be subservient to its own
schemes as Mr.. Howison has shown
himself.
No matter what may come, any adj
! verse Judgment of such Court against
the brave and manly officer who has
been the subject of the department
persecution will be rejected and re-
sented by the whole American people
Schley is not and never has been on
trial. 1t is the administration OF
President Mckinley whose conduct il
under inquiry before the tribunal o.
public opinion. 1t has already beer
condemned. but if this latest blunder
ing infamy of Hackett's is unreversed
the condemnation will be the deepeI
and more complete.

CHILDREN QUARREL
And Parents Take It UP and Fight
and Two Murders Result.

Middlesboro, KY, Sept. William
Searles and Charles Wilcox were killed,
and Grant Harrison Wilcox's cousin,
perhaps fatally wounded in bloody
free for-all engagement in Claiborne
County, Tenn. The fight took place
about shutdown yesterday, lasted for
several minutes, and desultory firing,
which did no especial harm, was kept
up all night. The trouble arose over a
quarrel between Searles's son Tom and
young Wilcox. The young men fought
over girl, and the fight was taken up
by their fathers and friends. Searles
met Charles Wilcox last night at d
grocery store and they began quarreling
The lie vas passed, and Searles was
killed instantly, after which seven or
eight men took sides and the pattle
ragged. No arrests have been made.
More trouble is momentarily expected.
