General expectation to the composition Of
the court of inquiry in the case Of Admiral
Schley has been happily confirmed by Secre-
tary Longs selection of Admiral Dewey and
Rear-Admirals Kimberly and Benham.
Admiral Dewey was on the other side of the
globe at the time Of the battle of Santiago and
for more than year afterward, and no express
sion of opinion concerning the charges which
the court will investigate has ever been at
tributed to him. The other members. who went
on the retired list years before the outbreak OF
the Spanish war have been equally reticent, SO
far as the public has means of knowing. The
professional records of all three are unimpeach-
able and in character and temperament they
are we'll qualified to conduct thorough and
impartial inquiry Their findings ought to set
tie ut once and forever a passionate contro-
versy which has already too long afflicted the
navy and the whole country.

BAD BRITISH TRADE RETURNS.

The half yearly statement Of Great Eritaln's
foreign commerce Is in striking contrast to the
very gratifying domestic statistics recently pub
Iished. Instead of new records for aggregate
trade and especially Of exports. as shown by
figures Of United States business with the world
England reported a small total with the princi-
pal decrease in sales to other nations. For the
six months ending June 30. 1901, British exports
Of merchandise valued at El3S I9G39S a
loss of e., ,5S0,366 compared with the correspond
ing months OF the preceding year and the most
unsatisfactory feature of the return is the ten
dency of monthly statements TO grow worse as
they progress, that the latest month, June
shows a decrease of E2.4JO911. Thus present
conditions at the worst point. Meanwhile
imports rose f6,S49 T91 over the first half of
1900 that the actual net result of the six
months business trade balance Of E12-
49, 1871 more deplorable than in the previous
year. Including re-exports of foreign and colo
NAL merchandise, the final result of the six
months is debtor balance Of ES9,627, ,7G6. Com
merce of the United States, there appears a diff
ference of nearly $75O00O O0O0. since our ledger
showed credit balance Of $2SS. .71S. .703.
