Rear Admiral Sampson is not on trial
before the court OF inquiry, but has been
on trial before the people and is. 1t is
therefore interesting to note that Rear
Admiral Sampson made charge against
Rear Admiral Schley of the gravest pos
sible character which has been disproved
by the testimony Of every officer on the
stand. including many who are known
as the bitter personal opponents of Schley.
Rear Admiral SIMPSONS notorious dis
patch, in which he speaks ungenerous
terms of what he calls Schley's repre-
hensible conduct is matter of official
record, as it occurred in the body of a
regular report. 1t might be excused on
the ground that it was an official utter
ance Of the commander-in-chi of the
North Atlantic squadron speaking of his
subordinate, and therefore could not be
considered to be public scandal
The other charge by Rear Admiral
Sampson was not official. but was con-
tanned in magazine article and was ac-
companied by other charges which were
manifestly malicious.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1901-09-30

In the Century magazine of April, one
year after the declaration of war and
nine months after the battle of Santiago,
Admiral Sampson published an elaborate
article over his own signature, the title
of which was '"The Atlantic Fleet in the
Spanish War; In this article, written
long after the war, when the official re-
ports were fully accessible to him, Rear
Admiral Sampson says:
The log OF the Brooklyn, Commodore
Schley's flagship, for the Ave days from
May 26 to June l. indicated that whatever
may have been the disadvantages under
which the blockade was maintained, 1t can
hardly be described as a close one, Of the
sort desired and expected by both the navy
department and myself. During this period
tire from the coast at. night for distance Of
twenty-five miles.
This paragraph, OF course, would appear
ungenerous and malicious to any one who
knew that Schley was always the superior
of Sampson, but that temporarily, during
brief campaign, Rear Admiral Sampson
had been given the command of the feet
this article was written, in April, 1893,
Schley was again, as he is to-day, Samp-
sons superior officer. The seriousness Of
that story, therefore, is at once apparent.
It it was true Schley should have been
court-martialed. II it was false Sampson
made himself liable to court-martial for
a gross libel upon his superior officer.
The malicious character of this attack
has been evident for over two years.
That the whole fabric of Admiral Samp-
sons charges would be swept away by the
testimony Of his own friends was toe
much to expect, but the court OF inquiry
has developed this extraordinary state of
affairs and 1t is Sampson, and not Schley,
who has been shown guilty OF conduct
which must necessarily be pronounced
conduct unbecoming an officer and a gen.
tleman.
One OF the most striking developments
Is that official charts, log books, reports

Most of 1t Has Been Due Since
1900.
DELINQUENT TAX REFUNDS
The Board Bills of Outside Prison
ers Are Also Being
Looked Into.

AS a result OF the investigation now
being made into affairs in the sheriff s
office, Sheriff Megaarden has paid into
the county treasury within the past week
about So, 400, most of, it due since 1900.
This money came into the sheriff's hands
mainly through collections in delinquent
tax proceedings, and had not been turned
over until the discrepancy was discovered
and a demand made for its payment.
When a summons in a delinquent tax
case is placed in the sherif's hands he
serves it upon the owner of the property
involved and makes charge against the
county of 81 for service, twenty cents for
a copy of the document and eight cents
mile, mileage. Whenever the taxes on
such property are paid, these charges are
included, and, under the law, must then
be refunded to the county. This refund

last week, although the money should
have been turned over when it was col
lected.
The investigation has developed some
very significant things in the Megaarden
accounts with Hennepin county, and the
grand jury will be asked to take the mat
ter up when it meets next week. Mean
time Mr.. Megaarden is doing all in his
power to obviate this contingency by pay
ing up shortages as fast as they are dis
covered.
