scHLEY ON TIE STAND.

Rear Admiral Schley made a good
witness. He told his story in a clear,
straightforward manner, exhaustive
yet succinct and modest. His reasons
for the several acts noted in the de-
partments precept were given and ex-
planned so clearly that those who heard
the testimony must have been Impress
ed by it. He sought TO evade no re-
sponsibility, but to show that under
the circumstances he did the very best
possible to have been done, and that
in his judgment he did not err. Hap
/ PLY there are the results, recorded in
/ history, TO bear witness in his behalf.
/ my habit in life" said Rear Admiral
schley on the stand. not only in prin-
cipal command of a squadron. but also
in command of a ship, was TO assume
the responsibility and danger of CEN
sure for any movement, but 1 was new
er willing under any circumstances to
be a participant in glories that would
not divide. That was the general prin-
ciple upon which l acted in this mat
ter" That was a center shot against
his detractors. One of his first utter
ances after the conclusion of the bat
tie of July was that there was glory
enough for us all" in the splendid VIC
tory over Cerveras fleet. One Of
schleys first signals after the Colon
went ashore was to Capt. Clark of the
Oregon complimenting him upon the
magnificent work of that vessel and
thanking him for his assistance. While
the fight was still on Schley refused to
permit the body of Ellis, the sole
American victim of the engagement to
be thrown overheard; it deserved
Christian burial, he said. The incident
is indicative of the mans nature. While
under the greatest mental strain to
which a naval commander can be put,
he still had time to think of honors for
a fallen hero and to provide that they
might be paid. Again, he wished his
other heroes. grimy and hot shut in
the broiling bowels Of the ship. to have
the news of the fight and be cheered
with information of the successes of the
American feet. To accomplish this he
shouted down the speaking tubes to
the DULLES" telling them of what had
transpired and urging them to main
tain their best efforts. Meanwhile his
own conduct was, as a man who sailed
with him testified, such as to cheer and
inspire every man under him. Accord
ing to one witness Schley was the only
man who never ducked his head when
the shells were flying over the ship,
Notwithstanding the shells sounded
like a dozen railroad trains in motion"
Without any purpose of forestalling
the decision of the court of inquiry
or intimating what its action should
be. it is risking nothing to say that
Admiral Schley has been strengthen
ed in the respect and esteem of the
country by the testimony taken before
the court. And it may sbe said, fur
Their, that the inquiry will probably
have good effect through the calling of
public attention to the cliques and
jealousies in the navy service. In all
probability there will result a congress
sional inquiry and possibly legislation
looking to the removal as far as may
be practical, of friction and cliques in
the navy.

FAVOR spooNER,s BILL.
FedernIists of the Philippines De-
meud It's Prompt Passage.

MANILA, Jan. 25-The executive COM
mittee of the Federal party has filed pc
tition requesting the Philippine Commission
to urge upon President Mckinley that the
passage of the Spooner bill by Congress
is an urgent necessity, as the progress OF
the archipelago demands an authority which
can legislate and control the incorporation
of concerns, regulate mining claims, dis
pose of public lands and perform other
functions not vested i'm either the military
or legislative authorities The petitioners
state that the time is ripe for general
civil government, the establishment Of
which will win over those favoring the
instruction. while at the same time 1t
will encourage the natives to subscribe
in favor of settled government in the
Philippines under American sovereignty.
Therefore they urge that the Spooner bill.
which empowers President Mckinley in his
discretion to declare that the insurrection is
ended and to establish civil government,
be passed by the present Congress. The
members of the commission, while DESTROYS
that a full quota of troops shall remain
here, will recommend the passage of the
Spooner bill. The officials of the Manila
Chamber of Commerce and other persons
express their intention of cabling to Presf-
dent Mckinley TO the same effect.
Secretary Root has advised the commits
sion to inform inquirers that the ports in
the southern islands will not be closed.

by a Jewish tailor named Steenfelt, hun
dreds of couples in Chicago, and especially
residents of the Ghetto. are living apart
in the belief that they have been legally d.
vorced. Steenfelt was arrested for wife
abandonment after his wife had discovered
that the legal-looking document which thew
both had signed under the impression that
1T divorced them, was invalid. The docu-
ment was issued by local banker real
estate agent, proprietor of deposit vaults
and an assistant to a judge of the Circuit
Court, and bears his notarial seal. Judge
Dooley refused to recognize the document,
and the case was continued. Complications
among the Ghetto residents are expected
TO result. as. under the impression that
they were legally divorced. many are said
to have assumed new family relations.

In the House of Commons A j. BaIfour
first lord OF the treasury and government
leader, in moving the address in reply to
the message, said the House, in its long
history, had never met under sadder cir
cumstances or with clearer duty to ex-
press the universal sorrow extending from
end TO end of the empire The sorrow was
felt not only as a national, but as an
irreparable personal loss. 1t was hard vet
to realize the magnitude OF the blow which
had fallen on the country. In the whole
history of the British monarchy there had
never been a case where the national grief
had been so deeply seated. The end OF an
epoch has come, an epoch more crowded
with important changes and great deyelon-
ments than any period OF like length in the
history of the world The influence of the
crown in the British Constitution was not a
diminishing, but an increasing factor, and
must continue to continue with the growth
and development of the self-governing
communities over the sea which were
founded by Great Britain through the per-
son of the sovereign. who was living SYM
Dol OF the unity of the empire. This cunu-
lative result of the great example of Queen
Victoria was the greatest the world had
ever seen. Her position threw upon the
Queen a life of continuous labor Short
as was the interval between her final sig
nature of public document and her final
rest, it was yet long enough TO clog the
wheels of the administration, as witnessed
the vast mass Of untouched documents
awaiting the hand OF the sovereign.
In moving a double response of con-
uolence and congratulation, Mr. Balfour
said they all had unfailing confidence that
the great interests committed to the new
sovereign We're safe In his keeping They
assured him OF the ungrudging support
of his loyal subjects and wished him the
honor of long life and the greatest of all
blessings. 10 reign over o contented people,
