Department Merely AcknOwl-
edges Receipt Of His Letter.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Acting Secre-
tary of the Navy Hackett today re-
ceived the reply of Admiral Schley to
the letter recently submitted to him by
the department declining to question
Rear Admiral Howison as to the au
thenticity of the alleged interview with
him rejecting upon Admiral Schley.
The reply was sent to Captain Lemley,
Judge advocate of the court of inquiry.
This means that so far as the depart
ment is concerned further action on
the Howison incident win not be taken,
that being left to the court
The correspondence is as follows:
Washingt d. C., Aug. 81
Sir: l. I have to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of the departments letter of this
date in reply to my communicate of
the 18th instant.
? While it is true that one of my
counsel, Captain Parker, in reply to an
inquiry made to him. did give his per-
sonal opinion of the several rear ad-
mirals on the active and retired lists.
amongst whom was Rear Admiral
Howison, 1 am assured by him that he
believes the secretary misunderstood
him that any one of the officers named
would be perfectly satisfactory Cap
tain Parker's conversation was publish
ed at a time when nothing was kmown
of the alleged interview as published in
the record.
g. In my letter of the 18th instant
expressly stated my opinion OF the high
Howison, and I avoided any expression
of opinion as to the truth Of the state
ments made in the newspaper clipping
which 7 enclosed.
4 1t was with the desire to avoid the
necessity of making a formal challenge
that requested the department to lay
before Admiral Howison the state
ments that he IS alleged to have made
and thus give him the opportunity to
take such action as his sense of pro-
priety of the occasion might suggest
A1,.f
the department has not placed the pro-
per construction upon my letter when
treated in the nature of a preliminary
challenge for cause I could not cha1-
lenge for cause until discovered there
was a cause. and the object of my COM
was to ascertain if Rear Admiral
HoWison had made this statement You
will observe in this connection that in
his original statement he says Il have
made no public utterance relating to
this subject" 1 submit that his private
utterances would affect his qualifica-
ton as much as his public utterances
and my request was only to have this
alleged interview submitted for his
consideration.
Very respectfully,
W. S. SCHLEY.

New York. Aug. 24.--Some comment was
caused a few days ago by the announce
ment that a far-sighted bond house
would shortly bring out an issue of eight
million Russian government bonds. The
natural inference is that the sponsors of
the issue believe in the markets future
and a fair degree of public confidence. If
there was reasonable doubt of the success
OF the issue it would be deferred TO a
more favorable time. Apparently the be-
lief in the prospect of successful floating
of new securities is extending widely and
each prospective announcement is, fol-
lowed by some other confidence Chair
man Thomas of the Erie railroad stated
his opinion clearly a few days ago that
the time seemed at hand for any needed
increase in the capital stock. Y Yesterday
there came almost a practical admission
that the B. & O. Will before long, issue
more stock, and it is reasonable to as
sumo that it viii come in the form of
rights to subscribe given to present hold
ers. This necessarily argues that the
financial heads of the Pennsylvania rail-
road believes that the public is READY TO
finance a large undertaking on favorable
terms Their inferred arguments add ma
