DISCUSSION MUST CEASE.
Secretary Longs Order Concerning
the Schley Case.
silence Imposed on All Persons Con-
nected with the Naval Service
Action Regarded as Unusunf-Ohi-
GERS said TO Have Been Indiscrcet.

Discussion of the Schley-Sampson
controversy has been prohibited through
out the naval service in a general
order issued by Secretary Long yes
terday. This order, naval officers ex-
planned, was the outcome of the free
comments, not only by naval officers, but
by civilian employees of the Navy Depart
ment, since the Court of Enquiry was or
dered. The order applies to these civilian
employees as well as to officers. and ex-
tends to every branch of the naval ser
vice, including navy yards and shore sta
tions. The text of the order follows:
'-Navy Department.
washington, d. c, July %, 1901
General order No. 81:
'AI persons in the naval service are
strictly eujoined to refrain from any
. public statement concerning the sub
ject-matter OF the Court OF Enquiry
requested by F~ar Admiral w >.
JOHN d. LONG. Secretary"
Some naval officers took the ground yes
tertiay that the terms of the order did
not prohibit them from personal discus
sion of. the case. The idea of the depart
ment is to ensure calm and judicial con-
sideration Of the case by the Court of
Enquiry and to prevent further agitation
in the service as far possible while
it is pending. The action of the depart
ment in issuing the order is unusual in
view of the fact that there is a general
regulation providing that mo person be
longing to the navy shall discuss in the
public prints matters pertaining to the
personnel of the naval service without
express authority and approval of the de-
partment." and that any violation will
be noted on the record of the person con-
cerned." ~ lss.-
1t is claimed at the Navy Department
that many officers have been indiscreet in
their expressions and that for this reason
Secretary Long reached the conclusion
that silence should be enioined until the
court had the opportunity to probe Off
cially into the matters to be cleared up.
Mr.. Long believes that his order will be
for the best interests of all concerned.
Secretary Long said yesterday that he
had heard nothing from Rear Admirals
Kimberly and Benham in regard to their
appointment as members of the Court of
Enquiry. Official copies of the precept
were mailed to these officers last Friday.
Admiral Kimberly lives in West Newton,
Mass, and Admiral Benham in Washing
ton. They were told to acknowledge the
receipt of the precept and their orders to
serve on the court
No acknow ledgment of the receipt of
the precept has come from Rear Admiral
Schley.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inAamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed. Deafness is the result, and I'M
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever.
Nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh. which is nothing but an inAamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

of the city and their friends.

FALLEN Leaves.

Many OF the residents of the city
are raking up the fallen leaves that
are now covering the lawns about
town and making bonfires of the
same. 1t is we'll to take the advice of
Secretary of Agriculture James Will
son and let the leaves remain where
they fall. They form a protection to
the grass of the lawn and act as a
fertalizer that gives strength to the
grass after the rotting and sleeping
process of the winter months. If the
grass is covered with natures pro-
lection, the carpet of leaves, there
will be no danger of lawns being
winter-killed.
