THE SAMPSON-SCHLEY EMBROGLIO.

1t was hoped that the Sampson Schley scrap
had ended, and that the country was rid OF the
disgraceful affair, but Simpsons friends insist
on keeping the affair to the surface.
The latest phase of the affair is history
that was written by clerk in the Eavy depart
ment, in which Schiey is viciously attacked.
The proofs of that portion of the history were
submitted to Sampson, who read and approved
them. The publication of the history has
stirred up no end of trouble, and The matter is
growing serious. Secretary Long has received
a communication from Admiral Schley, de-
handing court of inquiry. Secretary Long
informed Schley that the court would be order
ed, and rigid inquiry will be made. Admiral
Dewey will be member of the court.
Admiral Schl>y will probably commence an
action for libel against Sampson and others.
1t is 10 be hoped the affair will soon be set
tied, and that the country will hear no more OF
it. Admiral Schley has been bounded by the
Mckinley crowd ever since the capture OF the
Spanish admiral, Cervera. We want Schley to
get his Just due, and then the case should be
closed.

AUNTIE KREUGER IS DEAD.

SOON Paul" Kreuger, president of the Trans
vaal republic, is bereaved. His vile, the
sharer of his joys and sorrows, is dead-and he
was far away from home, working for the free
dom of his struggling people
Auntie Kreuger was British prisoner, and
the British officers refused to send her Dom
Paul's last message, "because it was written in
Dutch"
The news of his wife's death stunned the
grand old man, but, though he was cast down
for short time, and asked to be LETT alone, he
soon recovered his composure and declared his
intention to press forward in the cause OF the
brave Beers.
Every Christian-every man possessed OF a
heart-must sympathize with the stricken old
man. Every true American condemns the
heartless nation that has caused i'm this great
sorrow.
The South African war has proved very
costly one IN other than financial way, to
both nations 1t has cost the life of Brian's
queen and the lives of the flower OF the British
army, besides millions upon millions of money
It has caused the death OF the "lirst LADY, Of
the Dctch republic, many of her noblest men
aud women, and has destroyed thousands Of
homes, in city and county.
And what has Great Britain gained? Nothing
absolutely nothing. The Beers are not yet
subdued, and will not be. Cecil Rhodes, who
caused the war, has lost his health, and Is but
wreck of his former SELF
Notwithstanding all that has transpired, the
Beers have notslost faith in the God they wor-
ship. They yet believe He will strengthen
their arms and cause them to prevail against
Great Britain.

The fact that Jones is willing to support Hill
