of future consequences arising from their
course while members of the board. The
court of inquiry probably will not proceed
with its work until fall. Secretary Long
said to-day that 1t would be unfair
to ask court of inquiry to convene In
Washington during the present extreme
hot weather for the prosecution of an
inquiry which promises to be quite pro-
tracted.
The information that Admiral Schley's
letter asking for court of inquiry had
been received by Secretary Long soon
spread through the navy department, and
not since the recent war days has one
of them excited such general attention.
Congress in 1895 established the principle
that no court martial could be held two
years after the occurrence under investi-
'tion. This Is known as the naval stat
ss-- ef limitation, and while it bars q
court Ii rfial relating to the Santiago
campaign. II toes not bar the court of in
curry. In this cas- the court of inquiry
would be effective onl. IN establishing
reords, anc puld not be Drel iminary to
court martial.
An important fea. era ia the order
directing the court is that specifying
whether it shall state only the facts
found, or shall also give an opinion
based on the facts. Unless the order ex-
opinion, they are confined to stating the
facts found. 1t Is considered quite prob
able, however, that in case of this i'm
portance, the order would direct the
court to record its opinion as well as its
conclusion of facts.
Whether the investigation shall be held
in open court or not is decided by the
court ITSELF unless specified in the con-
vening order. This leaves it optional
with the president or Secretary Long to
direct that the proceedings shall be open
or closed. but in case no specific direc-
tion is given on this point, the court
will decide 1t.
When the court of inquiry reaches its
decision, all the papers are forwarded
to the judge advocate general Of the navy,
and the final approval or disapproval rests
with the secretary of the navy or the
president, according to which one has
ordered the court.

STOP CHEWING THE RAG !

certainty that no solution will be found,
and that both parties will go into the 1902
campaign, as they have gone into cam
paigns for the past eight years, denouncing
trusts and demanding their control in the
interest of the people.
Strike Can't Affect Campaign.
Nothing that can happen at Pittsburg can
affect the campaign, because the long ses-
sion of congress will come in time to
strip the strike of all the absurdities
and incongruities that are likely to be
thrown around 1t by the half baked judg-
ments of prejudiced deelaimers and illog-
ical reasorers. 1t would be different If a
presidential campaign were now on; there
might be repetition of 1892, when the
new and misunderstood Mckinley bill re-
tsulted In the defeat Of President Harrison.
, But with plenty of time at its disposal, the
| republican party will not be slow to show
should there be need, that politics has
nothing to do with strikes like the present
one, and cannot control them.
Men who have thought q great deal
about the trusts have about agreed that
government should exercise over them
some sort of control of right of, regulation; !;
and ultimately this will no doubt come to
pass. But no control or regulation can be
stretched to cover a condition like the
present. Before the industrial commission
this summer, President Schwab, of the
steel trust, said that his thousands of
employees were probably the highest paid
workmen in America. Many of them re-
ceive as much pay as congressman and
United States senators, and so far as the
skilled element is concerned, the average
wage is close to $4,000 per year. The boys
and apprentices and laborers are paid from
81 to $3.50 per day. The hours of labor
are few and when they so desire the
workmen have no difficulty in owning
their own homes Assuming that Mr..
Schwab spoke truthfully, this strike has
nothing in common with the coal strike of
a year ago, or with the great majority of
| strikes which the country has seen since
the early eighties, for in these struggles
i there was poverty, hunger, and all attend
ant miseries to urge the strikers on and
at the same time command popular SYM
pathy.
1t is not impossible that popular sym
pathy will not go out to the strikers in
the present case, but it has not done so
yet, and if 1t does it will be for reasons
vastly different from those which called
out that sympathy in the years that are
past This strike or some one that will
come after it, should it fail, promises to
begin a new industrial epoch 1t is very
far from having reached a stage which
justifies the unlimited interference of the
managers Of great political parties. Much
as some of the strikers would like to
have the weight of Mr.. Hanna's influence
thrown into the scale in their behalf, Mr..
Hanna probably knows his own business
too well to be fooled by them. There is
not politician in Washington who thinks
matter.

seems to have been received in strike
centers with a good deal Of aprobation
Briefly stated, it is that Senator Hanna,
as the chairman Of the republican national
committee, use his influence with the
steel trust to secure a satisfactory ad-
justment of the present disputes, just as
he did year ago, when the coal strikes
presidential chances.
Senator Hanna, who must be given credit
for having fair share of common sense
will probably pay no attention to this
talk. In the opionion Of party leaders
in Washington, who have read with 9
good deal of interest the Associated Press
dispatches to which reference is here
made, he will stand his ground, and in
the end, if he says anything, will tell
the strikers that there is nothing that
he can or ought to try to do.
To begin with, this is not a presiden-
tial year, and the congressional elections
Of 1902 are almost eighteen months dis
tant, with a session of congress interven-
ing in which the issues of that campaign
will be made. This, however, is the prac-
tical and selfish view. Taking the higher
ground of the welfare of the people who
are engaged in the strike, and having in
mind the disastrous consequences to the
country at large which follow strike OF
be unable to meet the expectations OF
10
mand The strike that is now on has
been carefully arranged for on both sides
and the contestants represent very
high order of intelligence and experience
Both are we'll equipped for the struggle
and both believe that upon the result will
depend in large way the future relation
ship to be sustained between labor and
capital in this country.
Things Different Now.
Senator Hanna would be a most unwel-
come visitor at the Office of J. Pierpont
Morgan Co., were he to go there advo-
eating a settlement of any kind. He was
tolerated a year ago for two reasons. A
presidential campaign was at its critical
stage. and the strike was likely to affect
unfavorably the republican chances. In
the next place, the strike was not OF
great magnitude or consequence. 1t was
confined to a few thousands of poor and
ignorant coal miners. foreigners for the
most part, buried in the Pennsylvania
mountains, and not in intelligent or close
touch with the great body of American
labor The present situation is vastly
different. The steel strike is not only OF
vastly larger proportions than the strike
of 1900, but the strikers are American
citizens of more than the average intel
ligence and influence. They have it in
their power to attract to their support
the entire mass of organized labor and
this is entirely possible that they will
eventually do, should the strike reach an
acute stage.
There is no room in this dispute for
partizan politics. or for the kindly Offices

Washington, July 24.-Friends of Gen.
eral Shafter. like the friends of Admiral
Schley, find Objectionable statements in
the third volume of Maclay's history of
history of the army. In this volume
Sampson is praised at the expense of Gen
eral Shafter, and the adverse criticism of
Skaters conduct of military operations
around Santiago are severe. Shafter has
strong friend in the administration, and
in consequence has many adherents
among the high officials Of the war de-
partment.
Maclay says the prime purpose of send
ing Skaters army to Santiago was to
capture the forts of the harbor SO that
Sampson could enter the harbor and de-
stroy Cervera's feet. Speaking of the
message sent by Shafter to Sampson after
the fight at Aguanderes, in which Shafter
urged Sampson to force an entrance to
the harbor, Maclay says:
This extraordinary note can only be ex-
planned on the hypothesis that Skaters mind
was so agitated by the difficulties in which
he had plunged that he really did not know
what he was saying.
Further on the author says:
Failing to notify the navy of his sudden
changeof plan he (Shafter) struck inland
plunged into a wild and most difficult coun-
try for military operations, where he was
far beyond the power of the important sup
port Of the navy, and, after a series OF
bloody fights, discovered that he had CON-
pletely divided the United States forces BIZ

Denver, July 24.-The persons alleged

Orman of Colorado, are said to be Mrs.
Frank Ayres and her father, known as
Mrs. Reed in Fort Collins, where they re-
side, and Will Baker of Longmont. Mrs.
Ayres formerly was the wife of Charles
Lamont, who is serving a fourteen-year

Kate Bender!'
Ayres later went to Cherryvale. Kan.
where he told the officers of his suspicion
regarding his wife's family.
Mrs. Ayres denies that she is Kate
Bender and declares that she will prove
an alibi. She is about so years of age.

Ie1t OF SchIcyS Letter.
Admiral Schley's letter is as follows

Great Neck, L. l., July o.
Sir: Within the past few days
a series Of press comments have
been sent to me from various
parts of the country Of a book
entitled The History of the
Navy" written by one Edgar
: Stanton Maclay. From these re-
; views 1t appears that this edi-
: tion is a third volume of the
said history extended to include
the late war with Spain, which
; the two first volumes did not
!: contain and were in use as text
books at the naval academy.
From excerpts quoted in some
reviews, in which the page and
paragraph are given, there is
perversion Of facts, miscon-
; struction of intention, such in
temperate abuse and defamation
Of myself which subjects Mr..
Maclay to action. in civil law.
While I admit the right to fair
criticism OF every public off,
Ger, I must protest against the
low filings and abusive langus ge
OF this violent partizan oppon-.
ent, who has infused into the
pages Of his book so much of
the malice of unfairness as to
make 1t unworthy the name Of
history or of use in any reputa-
BILE institution of the country.
1 have refrained heretofore
from all comment upon the in
nuendoes of enemies muttered
or murmured in secret and
therefore with safety to them
selves. I think the time has
now come 70 take action as may
bring this entire matter under
!: discussion under the clearer
and calmer review OF my
brothers in arms, and to this
end I ask such action at the
: hands of the department as It
: may deem best to accomplish
this purpose. But 1 would ex-
press the request in this connec-
: tion that whatever the action
; may be that it occur in Wash
: ington, where most Of my papers
and data are stored. Very re-
