SANTIAGO BATTLE TO BIZ
INVESTIGATE

Admiral Schley has requested investi-
CATION of his course in the Spanish Amer
can War.
Secretary Long has approved Admiral
Schley's action and has promised to pro-
coed at once in the case.
Admiral Dewey will be president of the
court of inquiry, and the other two mem
bers will probably be officers on the re-
tired list
The court will sit in Washington and
its sessions will be open to the public.
An impartial inquiry is promised by
Secretary Long.
Under the naval regulations courts
martial cannot be held over two years af-
ter the time Of an occurrence, which would
prevent trial in the court decided against
Admiral Schley.
Capt. Francis A. Cook, who command
ed the Brooklyn, says in an interview
that when he ordered the ship to make
her famous ''loop" at Santiago he felt
that the move put her in imminent dan
ger of destruction, and SO told Admiral
Schley but they determined to carry out
the maneuver so as to make the destruc-
ton of the Spanish fleet certain.
1t is also declared by Captain Cook that
the signals agreed upon for communca-
ton with the Cuban insurgents were not
communicated to the Brooklyn. Admi-
raj Sampson states that the communion
ton of the signals to the Brooklyn was
ordered by him.

when the government was in the mark ct
for the purchase of ships, now ride about
the country in private cars and patronize
the most expensive hotels.
There goes man who thinks he is the
administration candidate for the Republi-
can Presidential nomination." The
speaker was a republican Senator, and
the man spoken of was Senator Fairbanks,
of Indiana, who is now in Washin gton.
The speech was true. Senator Fairbanks
unquestionably does think SO, and it has
made him more John Sherman-like than
ever, but it is evident from looks and
shrugs, if not words, from the men who
are likely to have something to do with
that nomination, that they regard the
candidacy of Fairbanks as a sort of joke

THE STATE CENSUS.

These are the final official figures of the
census taken of the population of Mary
land by the State enumerators.
Superintendent Buchanan Schley and
his staff, headed by MIR. William J. Ogden,
put the finishing touches to the work last
Saturday and forwarded an official report
OF the enumeration to Governor Smith.
1t will be seen that there is a difference
of 40, an increase, due to the addition of
that many names to the Kent county
schedules.
This revision grew out of claims from
the Government authorities that the Fed
eral census of 1900 was more accurate
than that under Colonel Schley's forces.
Mr.. Ogden proceeded at once to Kent
county, where the discrepancies existed,
and made careful examination of the
Government claim. AS a result he OBJ
tanned 40 names of persons who had been
missed by the State census takers. Mr..
Ogden also learned of three additional
names, but upon consultation these were
not added to the total
Baltimore city gains S,07S by the State
over the Federal census.
The counties lost 6,437.
The States net loss was $3.50.
Anne Arundel lost 5.227. Baltimore
county lost 2,127. Charles lost 1 ,G54. Kent
lost 1908. St. Mary's lost 1916. This
county lost ,573.

The CommercialA Appeal proposition
to raise fund for the purpose of present

the appreciation of the people of Admiral
Schley's services to his country is meet

Already the inflow of money has begun
and it will increase from day to day un-

The people of the United States are
fair minded and they admire justice, and
are sure to see it done and resent its
denial.

THE PEOPLES FAVOKlTE.

Several weeks ago we gave our
hearty endorsement to the candidacy
of Mr.. Joseph S. Wilson for the Senate,
knowing that he has the respect and
confidence of the people, and believing
that he will make a successful cam
paign. From the information that
now reaches us from all quarters, the
convention, which will assemble here
next Monday, will give unmistakable
evidence of the popularity of this gen.
tleman and place his name at the head
OF the ticket under such circumstances
as will repay him for all the uncalled-
for annoyance that he has been forced
to endure. His success will emphasize
the fact that honor and integrity, in
telligence and usefulness will always
be appreciated and rewarded EX-

position has not even dared to con-
centrate upon candidate to oppose
him, but have to-day no less than three
pronounced candidates in the field each
of whom, no doubt, has been made to
believe that he will be nominated in
the event of the success of his faction.
This has been naturally a source OF
weakness, and any faction, that has not
the courage to come into the open and
unite upon one single person in oppo-
sition to a pronounced candidate on
the other side, deserves 20 be defeated.
1t has come to be an adage, that
those who are unsuccessful in politics
always cry fraud; and those who are
conscious of the hopelessness of their
cause begin at once to conjure up
ghosts and to insinuate that other pco-

HUMIDITY IN KANSAS.

the record of Mondays heat in Topeka
The thermometer registered 1862 maxi
mum. The humid air made the day the
most oppressive of the year
The Kansas river is very low, hut the
supply of water in the city mains is yet
plentiful. From numerous places in Kan
sas come reports of intense heat and much
resulting damage. Slight showers fell
that evening in some regions, but the
larger part of the State is still parched by
the terrible heat. In some parts of the
State the temperature was as high as 1902
with considerable humidity.

with all possible earnestness for the nomi-
nation for State Senator at the election

ularity assures him his home district, and,
from present indications, there is every
possibility of his delegates being chosen
by reclamation. Not alone is his popu-
larity and strength recognized in his h ONE
district, but it is asserted that the logic of
his nomination is already recognized by
the leaders in enough districts to assure
him the nomination at the County Con-
vention. His close Identification with all
classes-the laborer, farmer. merchant,
lawyer, etc.,-places him in the light of
being the strongest candidate that could
be advanced for the State Senatorship
nomination. His views on questions in
volving the public welfare have always
proved to be broad and sound. He now
stands unalterablv for constitutional
