+ Washington, Oct. .-(Spl)-Judge
:. Advocate Lemley's side of the Schley
2 Court of Inquiry will probably close
today. He has only three witnesses
z to call. They are Captain Cook, of
the Brooklyn. Lieut.. W. +. Pultnm, of
the New Orleans, and Lieut.. Beale, Of
the Harvard.
Captain Cook took the stand short
ly after II o'clock and testified that
he never saw or heard of the McCalla
memorandum that there was "a good
landing pace 13 miles west of Glen
fucgos.' 1t was charged that this
information was given to Schley and
he refused To make use of it.
Cook said further that he was not
consulted when the squadron turned
westward with the intention of coal
ing at Key West and said that when
the squadron left Santiago on the ret
rograde movement he diI not know
the Spanish were In Santiago IIalbor.
He stated further that Sigsbee said he
had looked into the harbor mouth
without seeing the enemy. None of
the scouts knew the Spanish were in
the harbor at that time.

The swamping Of the submarine boat Full
ton at her wharf yesterday does not neces-
sarily reflect upon her qualities as a diver.
She went under because workman neg
ligently left a hatch open while her stern
was being hoisted out Of water for re,
pairs. Naturally the water entered the hole
and the craft foundered. The carelessness
of an individual has spoiled many an elab-
crate scheme before now. One mans mat
tention to orders brought two trains into
a head-on collision the other day in Michi-
gan, and caused the death Of many people
Yet the railroad is not to be condemned as
a worthless institution. The Royal George
was lost because somebody blundered, and
yet she was the finest vessel Of her type
af1oat at the time. When some ingenious
fellow invents a device which will be proof
against human carelessness or error he will
have scored the greatest of all successes.

Local Affairs and House Committees

, The District affairs have been placed In
eminently satisfactory hands in the franz
ing of the House committees and subcom-
mittees. The District committee is prac-
tically the same as during the last Con-
gress, the three new members being addi-
tions to fill vacancies in the House mem
bership- This insures that under the capa-
bic leadership Of Chairman Babcock the
committee will press ahead vigorously
along the established lines for the secur-
ing of legislation beneficial to the capital
The appropriations are placed in charge of
a virtually new subcommittee of the ap-
proprfations committee. Chairman Nc
Cleary succeeds Mr.. Grout. He Is known
to be an advocate of wise liberality toward
the District and is in sympathy with the
purposes of the men who aspire to make
Washington an Ideally beautiful and we'll
governed community. His associates are
known for their breadth of view, and al
though, with one exception. they are not
as far as service on this subcommittee is
concerned, specifically familiar with the
course Of financial legislation for the Dis
trict. they may be safely intrusted with
the task Of framing a local budget which
viii insure the progressive development of
the capital.

Navy Department, with its great gun foun-
dry, a veritable school in the handling of

portunities for instruction in explosives and
ballistics; the War Department, with its
forthcoming engineer station at Washing

No such combination Of facilities for SCI

ment can be found elsewhere in the coun-

the latest of all commissions. The cause

popular demand for the canal is emphatic.
The government has finally secured an
arrangement with England which practi-

Of the canal. The real character OF the

The National University.

Without considering the addition to the
attractions of Washington afforded by the
possible physical establishment of the
great national university proposed by Mr..
Carnegie. the capital city is assured of a
great gain in intellectual force through this
creation. According TO the present under
standing OF the scheme, il Is proposed to
bring to this city for instruction and for
opportunity for original research hundreds
perhaps thousands, OF graduates of the
colleges and universities of the country
men of purpose and capacity, who will as
suredly infuse much vigor into the mental
atmosphere of the capital. Here will be
the scene of important labors in all lines
In the great governmental laboratories and
scientific bureaus will work the men who
are sure to lead the scientific thought of
the country. or even OF the world at some
later period. 1t is impossible that they will
not leave a permanent impress upon the
life and character of Washington, already
marked among American cities for the
number and prominence of it's scientists.
The proposed university need not possess
a great physical establishment to become
the final touch In American education. 1t
does not require long list of instructors.
with chairs of special branches. surrounded
dation of the principles pertaining to those
branches. The purpose for many years on
the part OF the advocates of the ideal ma
tlonal university has been to utilize the
processes which are already provided here
by the government for its own needs and
available for educational purposes. The
Library of Congress. the law library of the
Supreme Court and the technical book cob
lections of the departments alone afford
opportunity for research which can prob
ably not be duplicated in the same abun-
dance and variety in any other city on this
continent In the line OF science here are

sity In its own original research and the

Mr. Smith at Boston.

sneaking to the merchants Of Boston last
night. Postmaster General Smith thus de-
fined reciprocity:
"It is the corolIary of protection. 1t Is
not a departure but a development; 1t Is NOT
an inconsistency but sequence; II Is hot
a contradiction but a elimination.
This is so very clear and felicitous 1t Is
difficult to think of but one other student
of protection who might have packed so
much into so brief space. Mr.. Mckinley
possessed the gift of epigram, and had ne
lived to enlarge upon his Buffalo speech
would probably have garnished his second
deliverance with gems as bright as these
that make Mr. Smiths address so inter-
esting and instructive.
But Mr. Smiths faculty of summing up,
luminous as 1t Is. is but one, and not the
most prominent, of his claims to attention
in this matter. He was one of Mr.. McKin-
ley's closest friends. He shared his per-
sonal as we'll as his political condolences.
He was more than political adviser. But
he was that IN its fullest sense. Mr.. Nc
Kinley probably took no important step as
President without first carefully Weighing
the views of the Postmaster General
Mr. Smiths relations to Mr.. Roosevelt
also are very intimate. He retained his
portfolio along with his associates at the
Mckinley cabinet table at Mr. Roosevelts
urgent request. His part in the success OF
the Mckinley administration was well
known to Mr.. Roosevelt, and the value of
retaining him in office fully appreciated.
He speaks for his new chief as authorita-
lively as he spoke for the old.
Mr.. Smith represents In the cabinet the
great Industrial commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania. The policy Of protection covers that
state like a shield. Its mines and manu-
factories are among the most hourishing
in the world. The state Is rich almost be-
yond the dreams of avarice, and It's people
are as capable and alert as may be found
anywhere.
Before accepting his present commission
Mr.. Smith was the editor of one Of the most
influential of American newspapers and ad-
vocated in its columns every principle look
ing to the promotion of American indus
trial interests. He supported the tariff cam
paigns in Congress of both Mr.. Mckinley
and Mr.. Dingley. and he opposed with as
much vigor as any other man brought to
the service the free trade campaigns there
Of Mr.. Morrison, Mr.. Mills and Mr. Wilson
If then this trusted adviser of Mckinley
and of Roosevelt; this representative in the
cabinet of the protection stronghold of
Pennsylvania; this editor of national repu-
tation, whose pen has always been at the
command of American industry and Ameri-
can labor; if this man urges reciprocity as
the policy of the hour, need any republican
fear for the policy of projection with reci-
procity put in force?

The Opposition to the Canal.

The report Is In circulation, with appar-
emily reliable authority for its accuracy
that the president of the Panama Canal
Company. who has been in Washington for
several months, proposes to appeal from
the recommendations of the canal commits
sion In favor of the Nicaragua route and
to force issue In Congress in the hope
of securing a reversal of that decision
The commission. 1t appears. had the great
est difficulty in obtaining definite offer
from this person. who shuffied back and
forth in an effort to leave the question Of
the value of the Panama company's hold
ings open to appraisement. When finally
he fixed a minimum sum, stin holding to
his appraisement proposal. however, the
commission seized upon the figure as the
only positive proposition emanating from
him and framed its report upon it. So
shifty were his maneuvers that the few
friends OF the Panama route within the
commission were disgusted. and were
finally driven by the unreliability Of that
side to favor the Nicaragua route.
1t Is now declared to be NJ Hutin's pro-
gram to carry his appeal to the last court
the houses Of Congress-and there to fight
the adoption Of the commissions report.
Perhaps 1t would be just as well for the
canal project that he did this. for then the
exact nature of the opposition to the trans
isthmian canal might be disclosed. For
years powerful and mysterious influences
have been tending strongly against the sue
cess Of the canal bills which have followed
each other in Congress Now they would
block the consideration of bill in either
house. now defeat a direct canal authoriza-
ton In committee or in the chambers or in
conference. or. when threatened with the
success OF the enterprise, they would turn
suddenly at the last moment and force a
compromise in the form of a new commits
sion to resurvey the routes, thus gaining
sometimes three or four years by the trick.
The public belief has been that the trans
continental railroads were the chief factor
in this lobby against the canal BILL The
Panama interests are strong, to be sure,

MIR. McLaurin, and MIR. Randall.

Senator McLaurins reference to Samuel
]. Randall on Monday was infelicitous. 1t
showed that he was not thoroughly IA
miliar with the record Of the great Penn
sylvanian. He should repair the deficiency,
for. in a way. he is a disciple Of Mr.. Ran
dali. and Is now meeting with some of Mr..
Randall's experience.
Mr.. Randall was what Is now called a
Commercial democrat, and the leader Of
that wing of his party which did not flop
at the call of free trade. He believed in
the policy of building up great Industrial
America and therefore addressed himself
to public questions more from business
than sentimental viewpoint But he paid
dearly for his sagacity and his courage.
AS bitter war was made on him as has
ever been made on the South Carolina SEN
ator. He was denounced as a republican
In disguise and all but read out Of the
party. He was overwhelmingly defeated
for the speakership of the Forty-eighth
Congress, and every effort was made to
prevent his appointment as chairman of
the committee on appropriations. But Mr..
Carlisle. his successful competitor in the
speakership race with manly resolution
refused to infict the indignity.
The south in particular turned against
Mr. Randall. She owed him much He had
defeated the first measure known as the
force bill, and had always urged liberal
protection for her Industries. But this was
ignored. South Carolina was willing to ac-
cept protection for her rice, Louisiana for
her sugar, Georgia for her then rising cot
ton manufacturing, Alabama for her iron
industry. and the Virginias and Tennessee
for their coal. but they voted against the
man who stood, both by performances and
professions, for their material prosperity,
and assisted In his humiliation as a party
leader.
/ When Mr.. Cleveland came in he Joined in
the crusade. The patronage Of Pennsylva-
MIA was so distributed as to render Mr.
Randall powerless at home. Many men
whom he had made politically were tolled
away from him, and he stood almost alone
But he never compromised an inch Of his
principles, nor bowed the knee to anybody.
Mr.. Randalfs triumph came, but not un-
til he had gone to his honored grave. When
the men who had denounced and misused
him at last won national election on their
cry of free trade they found themselves
unable to keep their famboyant campaign
promises. and turned to protection in
futile effort to save themselves. Well
would it have been for them and for the
country If they had been able to command
in their then desperate straits the counsel
of this man they had In his life rejected.
They might. with his aid, have applied in
some business-like fashion the principles of
protection to their task, and saved the
country hundreds Of millions of dollars.
Mr.. McI-aurin may not secure a second
term in the Senate, but he can do more
than that. and he Is in a fair way of doing
1t. He can deserve second term, and can
afford then to leave the rest to fate and the
future.
