The 6chley Controversy.

Washington, ID. c., Dec 10. "A coun'
Gil TO determine the future action OF
Admiral Schley with regard to the de.
cision OF the court of inquiry was held
today In his room at the Richmond.
There were present Admiral Schley,
Isidor Rayner, his chief counsel; M. A.
league, who assisted Mr.. Rsyner at the
ipauiry; Gen. Felix Angus, OF Bslti-
more, aud Congressman Scbirm, who
represents the district in which Schley
lives. They fret of all prepared letter
to Secretary Long which reads as fol-
lowe:
II have the honor to respectfully re-
quest that you withhold approval oil
the findings Of the court OF inquiry re-
Gently held at the navy yard, Washing
ton, of which Admiral Geo. Dewey was
president, until such time as | shall have
opportunity to file statement OF OBJ
jectiops to such fndlngs, and l further
request that the said court be not dis
solved until action shall be taken upon
such objections"
The letter was signed by Admiral
Schley and Mr.. Rsyner. Mr.. league
thereafter delivered the letter to Score
tsry Long and asked him to indicate hi'
probable action. Secretary Long re-
piled that be would give the matter i'm
mediate consideration. He would COD
suit the Judge Advocate, he continued
and would notify Admiral Schley OF his
decision. The Secretary said In advance
that he would comply with the reques
of Schley and would Withhold the dis
solution OF the court until Schley's OBJ
jections should be received and acted
upon. Under the rules OF practice il
such affairs Admiral 5chley will have
the right of appeal to the President frou
the action of the Secretary Of the Navy
5uoh appeal is admissible in ell tribunals
except such as are appointed by tbs
President. The Schley court of To-
quiry was appointed by the Secretary
Of the Navy"
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1901-12-16

THE MAJORITY of the people OF this
State, like those Ofsll the others, sided
with Admiral Schley in bis recent con-
troyersy and cOrrespondingly oppose
the verdict of the court Of inquiry. but
all sensible people will admit that
the House of Delegates OF Virginia
went out of its way in adopting reso-
lutious directing the States Senators
aud Representatives to take steps %
vindIcate the admiral. This is mat
ter with which the State Legislature
has nothing whatever to do and should
It come up 10 Congress Virgiuis's rep
rssentstives are supposed to have sense
enough to act intelligently upon it,
without instructions from the L'gisla'
ture. Legislatures are to attend to
State business.
