A BIG RAILWAY COUP.
The Goulds c Control of the
Norfolk and Western.

Philadelphia, August 22.-The North
American tomorrow will say:
Control Of the Norfolk and Western
railroad has passed out of the hands of
h Pennsylvania railroad. and is firmly
in the grasp Of the Gould interests.
This was announced yesterday as a fact
and will probably occasion greater sur
prise in financial and railroad circles
than any similar announcement made
this year.
The Gould interests, 1t Is asserted.
now hold an actual majority Of capital
stock Of the Norfolk and Western. The
Gould party began, it is said, by pur-
chasing the foreign holdings OF Norfolk
and Western stock, following this by
quietly picking up the floating shares in
h New York market.
Control Of h Norfolk and Western
will be used by George j. Gould to
further the interests of his railroad
system. If the Pennsylvania railroad
withdraw opposition to the Wabash In
P1ttsburg and agree not to thwart
Gould in his effort to get an Atlantic
seaboard outlet, the recently acquired
interest in the Norfolk and Western
will be surrendered at a price which is
fair. This is the latest of a series Of
strategic NOV es by the Gould group to
the end Of forcing an eastern outlet

SENSATIONAL IN LEGAL CIRCLES.
Severe Criticism of Federal Supreme
Court Decision in the Insular Cases.

Denver, Colo, August "a sensa-
ton was caused at today's session Of
the American Bar Association by the
address Of Congressman Charles z.
Littlefield. Of Maine. on The Insular
Cases"
Mr.. Littlefield's address drew forth
loud and long continued applause, and
a motion was made to tender him e
vote Of thanks for it, but this was de-
clared of order by the president, on
the ground that the speaker is a mem
Der of the association.
The view of the mover was not, how
ever. universal with the members, for
just before recess was taken Adolph
Moses. Of Chicago. made a vigorous
protest against what he characterized
Is IAN unwarranted attack upon the
supreme court Of the United States"
His remarks were cut short by a point
of order. but his words were greeted
with applause in which a considerable
minority of the convention Joined.
In his address Mr.. Littlefield said the
insular causes, considered in the man
ner in which the results were reached,
the incongruity of the results and the
variety of the inconsistent views ex-
pressed by the different members Of the
court are without a parallel in our
judicial history"

why Not Summon Shafter:

1t is evident hat the inquiry set on
foot by Admiral Schley VIII take a
much wider range than is indicated in
the "precept' issue by the Navy De
partment. That was to have been eX-
pected. 1t is. in fact, inevitable.
1t is true that Schley's demand for a
court was Immediately provoked by the
third volume of Maclay'S alleged history
but it is equally true that Maclay de-
rived his Importance wholly from the
fact that his work was encouraged and
approved by Sampson and other high
officials of the service Had ne been a
mere private citizen. writing histories
on his own account. Admiral Schley
might not have felt called Upon to
notice him save through the medium of
a police court. AS it happened. how
ever, Maclay was an emplOye of the
department, figuring on the pay rolls
as a "laborer" at s2.4S per diem, while
in truth he enjoyed the favor and in
timacy Of the Secretary. Admiral
Sampson. Admiral Crowninshield, and
presumably the whole circle of the anti
Schley conspirators. 1t is clear that he
was in their confidence, for he sen his
proof sheets to them for inspection. and
Sampson is quoted as having declared
his entire approval Of the 0 n as well
as the matter of the publication. Mac

SO far as concerns the real question be-
fore the country. He represents Long,
Crowninshield. Sampson and the
smaller fry generally, for without their
moral and material support his history
would never have been heard OF. SO it
follows hat in challenging Maclay,
Schley really challenges Maclay's pa
irons and employers. n this challenge
if it be honestly and fairly exploited by
the court, permits-indeed. demands
an examination OF the acts, motives,
characters, and purposes OF Schley's &C
cusers.
Their will hardly be a dissenting voice
to the proposition that Sampson Is the
chief Of these. He made the charge OF
reprehensible conduct upon which the
whole ~scandalous structure has been
reared. 1t is from behind the hedges
of his authority and eminence that all
the lesser foes have flung their tavelins.
Eliminate Sampson. and there Is no
serious enemy for Schley to fight.
Sampson has given Maclay whatever
importance he possesses by reading his
work and approving it How. then, cz.n
any intelligent and fair-minded tribu-
nal ~nou pom the integrity and
n Of SIMPSONS accusations with
out considering the integrity and mo-
ment of Sampson himself? II Samp-
son be dishonest and unworthy of credit
by honorable men, II II can De SHOWN
that he is capable OF gross misrepre-
sentation of others, of the reputation
of solemn promises. of insensib:lity to
the obligations OF good faith, would he
not thereby be d~iscredited as q witness"
We DO not assert hat all this al be
proven against Sampson. We put. let
us say for the present. a supposItitious
case. and ask whether q court convened
for the purpose of a~scertaining facts
not for the prosecution of any one, but
for the illumination OF a dark place in
our history-whether such a court may
not properly inquire into SIMPSONS

VICTORY FOR COLUMBIA.
She Defeats the constitution Easily

Columbia gave the Constitution a good
sound beating today twice around the
Seawanhaka triangular course On CO..
rected time the old boat won by 2 min
utes and > seconds and on elapsed time
by l minute and SO seconds; but the
figures do not represent the decisive
ness of the Columbia's victory, for as
a matter of fact she peat the new boat
twice. The first time around the tri-
angle of fourteen and three quarter
miles. the Columbia gained yer five
minutes. Then a shift of wind on the
short leg across the SOUND put the Con-
JEitution upon even terms, when a new
race was practically started, the breeze
coming true again. This time the Co
lumbia gained Over a minute and a half.
1t was a day of fluky sound breezes,
but if either boat got any advantage
from the frequent change in the wind,
it was the Constitution. The new boat
did not seem to ave any of the speed
she has shown in light airs. With the
international contest less han a month
away, today's race re-opens the whole

Vienna, August 22.-Professor Edward
Suess. the eminent publicist and pa
l~eOntologist, has given an interview
preponderance of the United States
that attracts much attention, especially
as It confirms the antl-AmerlCan views
Of continental manufacturers and econ
omists-
The professor, surveying international
relations from the standpoint of a polit-
cal philosopher. observes that while
the French revolution was o~ccasioned
by the abuses Of the privileged classes.
the present situation has been caused
by a revolution OF material conditions.
The declining national sentiment
should be replaced by a movement for
the common defence of the central
European states against the American
trusts, which are moving to conquer
the foreign markets more surely than
they could be conquered by battleships.
The American balance of trade has
reached an unparalleled figure. 1t was
a serious question If the present politi-
cal units OF central Europe were strong
enough to make an effective defence,
taking into account the physical con-
ditions.
The present shifting of the centre
Of gravity of the worlds forces would
create three great units-China, Russia
and America When China was equip
ped with railroads the people would find
that she had the most capable mer-
chants and the cheapest abor. Russia
would have the largest army and be
the greatest peasant state. European
capital would flow to the United States
and would be an important increase OF
her economic prosperity.
OF the three. the United States had
decidedly the lead. Its policy was COM
mercial aggression. beyond doubt, and
states like the American union and
Russia had gained far more in the way
OF the mobilization Of their powers
