HOW NAVAL OFFICERS ARE TRIED

Leslie's Weekly
A trial in the United States navy must
partake of one of three forms: court of
inquiry, general court-martial, or a
summary court-martial. A court of in
qulry or a general court-martial can be
ordered only by the president of the
United States, the secretary of the navy,
Or the commander-in-chiefo of the Amer
lean fleets on for eign stations. The form
known as the court of inquiry is en-
ployed exclusively for the investigation of
the conduct of commissioned officers,
While the general court-martia1 embraces
Investigations of the conduct of officers
and also the trial of enlisted men charged
with murder or other crimes, or serious
breaches of discipline, such as an assault
upon an officer. A summary court, which
may be ordered at any time by the COM
mandlng officer of any ship or station,
corresponds to the police court on shore
and deals with minor offenses of all kinds
OF which the enlisted men may be guilty.
these three forms have been so out
lined possibly as to give the impression
That each has distinct functions, and yet,
IN reality a court of inquiry is preSum-
ably merely a preliminary to a general
court-mart1al. In a. word, it may be said
TO correspond to a grand jury on shore
ana just as grand jury reviews the
1actS IN any case brought to their atten-
lion, TO determine whether or not the
circumstances make it justifiable to bring
the person or persons implicated before
the bar of justice, so the naval court of
inquiry insures competent preliminary
examination and enables an officer to
present a defense and, if possible. to
puncture some of the charges made
against him without having been sub
Jeeted to the stigma of a court-martial.
contrary to an impression which has
gained considerable credence the mere
TACT OF the investigation by court of
inquiry of the career of an officer or OF
ms conduct on any particular occasion
goes not of itself imply any reproach.
indeed, not infrequently court of in
curry IS convened, as in the case of Rear
ADMIRAL Sehley, at the special request of
some officer who, jealous of his good
record, is DESTROYS of officially settling
some dispute or securing a formal de-
clsion as to his conduct upon which his
?orlans might, from ignorance or undue
influence, place a different eonstruction
after he had passed away.

Hal Another Guess Coming.

By st. James of Compostello, IS it so?
The dead old deluded p. P. goes sturdily

but Tams. it makes Ta:ns enc of the

if the Pioneer Press really thinks that
Tams Bixby is the brightest and most
able man in Minnesota they have Ger
tainly got another guess coming, and If
he is really is so, heaven help the other
men in the state. Tams might posi-
bly, make an elegant secretary of the
interior of campaign committee, but as
secretary of the interior or the United
States, never. There are very few peo-
pie in public life, in or from. the state
of Minnesota, who have less ability than
this same T. Bixby, the exalted states

sends out supplies of notes to 200 banks
each day. In 1893, during the panic
there was a. sudden demand on the di-
vision for $40,000,000 in notes, but as there
was not more than S5.OOO,OOO on hand, the
banks had to wait from thirty to sixty
days. This caused a great hardship to
the banks interested and the depart
ment has tried to obviate this condition
sirce. No bank can get the notes in
lots of less than $500, and the shipments
average from. $1,000 to $4,000 for each
bank.
The redemption division of the treasury
department receives the old notes of
banks which must be redeemed by the
government as soon as they show the
wear and tear of much handling. The
redemption division Keeps these worn
out notes on hand, sorting them out until
it has at least $500 for each of the banks,
and then it orders the issue division to
issue new notes. The old ones are
destroyed by the destruction COM
mittee.'' which is one of the standing
features of the department The old
notes are macerated and then sold to
souvenir companies who shape the pulp
and fragments of notes into designs
showing the outlines of the capitol, the
department buildings, or Washington
monument, and sell them to visitors at
the capital.

tigahon were to stop at this point It
would carry with it full exoneration
of Commodore Schley from any blame in
the premises.
The case made out on the failure of
the commander of the flying squadron to
coal from the Merrimac instead of re-
turning to Key West presents much more
evidence of remissness on the part of the
in the matter of the loop. What the
course of Schley's counsel will be in that
regard remains to be seen. 1t will be
surprising if they cannot present evil
dence which will nullify even the worst
showing that has been made in that be-
half. If the conduct of the commander
in-ehief were under consideration here,
1t would seem that his absence from the
actual engagement at Santiago after his
receipt of the signal from the Brooklyn
that there were indications that the
harbor would be a much more serious
subject of xamination-that is, assum-
ing of course, as Lieut.. Doyle says was
the case, that such signal was given
than is the failure of the flying squadron
to coal while lying off the Cuban coast.
From all present indications the public
will have anticipated results long before
they are officially reached in this case,
and no decision short of the most COM
plete exoneration of Schley is likely to
be tolerated by the American people.

4 GOOD EXAMPLE FOR CROKER.

A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR CROKER.
wnIIe the political gentlemen down In
New York and elsewhere are so deeply
panied at the wicked disposition OF hlch-
ard Croker to disport himself on the
British race track, and are showing their
deep concern over his ownership of broad
British acres, it is pleasant to be inform
ed that another American who has sinned
in the same direction as Mr.. Croker has
shown a disposition to discover the error
of his ways, and turns his face once more
toward his more or less well beloved
country with the assurance that he is to
all intents and purposes done with COM
peting on the British turf with the horse
racing gentry of nat country.
William C. Whitney has won his laurels
as an owner and racer of horses in Eng
land. He has recently announced his in
tention to practically withdraw from the
English race tracks, and give his moral
and financial support to the cultivation of
the racing sport on his native heather.
Since certain American gentlemen are
now engaged in promoting the elevation
of the racing standard on this side and
contributing of their means to that end,
he believes that his duty, as an Anerl-
can, demands that he shall cooperate
with them and devote those of his ener-
gies which he bestows on the horse-ra-
cling pastime to its elevation and ad-
vancement on this side of the ocean.
AS winner of the Derby, Mr.. Whit
ney in discarding the possibility of fu-
ture victories on the British turf shows
that he is ready to make sacrifices to his
convictions in this direction. When in
addition to this he contributes the Derby
stakes won by him to the accomplish
can remain but little question of his sin
cerity.
There is very little which is worthy Of
approval in the demagogue outcry which
is raised against Richard Croker in con-
nection with his annual visits to England
and with reference to his ownership of
British land He has precisely the same
right to own land in that country which
he has to its ownership in any other
land, and precisely the same right which
any resident Englishman or other for
eigner has to own land in the United
States, and all the fuss which has been
raised in that behalf is, as we say, mere
demagogism.
If Mr.. Croker, however, since he en-
joys the exceptional privilege of INDUCING
in the luxury of entering his horses for
great national and international events,
would follow the admirable example Of
Mr. Whitney he would doubtless recover
some of his lost prestige as an American
patriot even though he did not thereby
placate his friends the political enemy.
He never raced any horses on an Ameri-
can course, and his appearance in that
behalf abroad was rather revelation to
his countrymen If he intends to continue
to steer Tammany hall through the rocks
and shoals of militant office-seeking re-
form, he will doubtless discover one day,
sooner or later, that he has lost his cum
ming by taking on the added character
of a British horse-racing squire

Rt. Rev. Alfred Willis Attends Epis-
cOpaI Convention.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6-Rt Rev.
Alfred Willis, bishop of Honolulu, has ar
rived here to attend the Episcopal con-
vention. He comes in response to an
invitation from the church authorities
for the purpose of discussing the change
in Jurisdiction which the annexation OF
the Hawaiian islands to the United
States makes necessary.
cit is impossible for me to discuss
in advance" he said, "the question Of
jurisdiction that has been raised by the
annexation of Hawaii to the United
States.
Unfortunately, there is no precedent
for us to follow, 1t is difficult, COM
pick question, which can only be settled
by the most careful consideration.
1.-THE Hawaiian diocese is not, as is
generally supposed, subject to the En-
glish jurisdiction. Like the church in
America at the close of the revolution,
a new jurisdiction was established, en-
tirely separate from the English.
when my predecessor went to the
islands the church had no constitution.
That and other laws have been made
with the growth of the church.
1--WE have not a large church. I think
we number about 1900, but that is not
surprising. when you consider that more
than half the population is heathen."
Bishop Willis went to the Hawaiian
islands thirty years ago under appointa-
ment from the English church. He was
ordained in 1872 and Immediately left
for his new field of work. His thirty
years service has been marked by
gradual increase in the strength and
power of the Anglican Hawaiian church.

DID HE KNOW OF TT BEFORE.


1t is said that man never recognizes
himself in his real character until he
becomes a candidate for office. In a GER
-$ain sense this is true of the late Christie
pher Columbus. That remarkable char
acter has been a candidate for fame, if
not for Office, for a good many years.
But the world, which is nothing If not
cxacting with those who aspire to be
great, has discovered many things re-
garding the reputed discoverer of this
favored land of ours, which even his
parents never dreamed Of Among the
other things that have been discovered to
the entire satisfaction of the discoverer,
and with more of certainty, it is claimed,
than attaches to the alleged discovery or
Columbus, is that that person was a.
wretched lunatic-the victim of acute
neurosis.
OF course We have all been more or less
profoundly convinced at one time or other
that Columbus never discovered America

he did discover America, but that he

GEN. ALGER,S BOOK.

Ex-Secretary Ayers book is political
pamphlet. The value of Gen. Alger's
"reminiscences will not be apparent to
very many besides himself and his per-
sonal and political intimates. Its his
torical value is too slight to be consid-
cred. 1t reveals nothing that was
not known before and states the case of
the eX-secretary's part in the events of
the Spanish war no more strongly than
it has been stated a hundred times be-
fore
The attack which Gen. Alger makes on
the head OF the American navy will re-
ceive little public consideration. Ad-
miraI Sampson may or may not feel bit
terly toward Gen. Shafter. The cir
cumstance possesses no intrinsic inn
portance. Since the former gentlemans
partisans are claiming for him all the
honor of the Santiago victory, and he
himself indorses those claims, it is high
ly improbable that he occupies the at
titude of hostility toward the other
doubtful hero of Santiago which Gen.
,Alger sets forth.
1t would be hard at this time to re-
vive a controversy regarding the en-
balmed beef episode. Gen. Miles may
have ordered the 10000 rations of en-
balmed beef sent to the Cubans. That
Of itself proves nothing. 1t was as easy
@ way of getting rid of an Objectionable
ration as any other The character of the
so-called canned roast beef furnished to
the troops at Santiago has been estab-
lished by tragic proof. A class of mill
tary victuals which was, in the opinion Of
qualified regimental commanders, bad
enough to be thrown in bulk into Cuban
waters cannot be made good by any GER
tificate furnished at this late day through
either Gen. Miles or Gen. Arthur.
The campaign of Santiago will go down
In history as distinguished by this cir
cumstance: that the two administration

minor part in the brilliant victory

by the American people in bestowing
both blame and praise in connection
with that campaign. If Gen. Alger or
any other prominent participant in its
events can contribute anything which

TIE "LOOP, QUESTION OFT.

There has been a good deal of discus
Sion in the press concerning the attitude
of the navigator of the Brooklyn, Com
mander Hodgson, on the question at is
sue regarding the famous loop made by
his vessel, and the statement has been
made and repeated freely that he dis
puted the wisdom of the order given on
which the loop was made, the implication
being that Hodgson regarded the move
pent as one which was designed to take
the vessel out of the fight.
The testimony of Commander Hodg-
son before the court of inquiry sets all
that sort of loose talk at rest. 1t does
more. Taken in connection with the tes-
timony of Lieut.. Doyle of the same YES
sci, it puts an end to all the charges and
imputations made against the character
of Rear Admiral Schley growing out of
that particular maneuver.
Hodgson's testimony will be recognized
as that of a man capable of nassino on
exact judgment uninfuenced by the ex-
citement of the battle then in progress
That testimony exonerates Commodore
Schley from all imputation either of
cowardice or of bad Judgment. The loon
was made according to him in order to
avoid the ramming of the BROOKLYN bv
a Spanish vessel. That was the burmese
OF Commodore schley in giving the or
Ger, and 1t was designed and executed
In manner to arouse the admiration of
the commander of the Inflated spanish
squadron. If the Texas had to back her
engines as claimed-a fact which has NOT
yet been proven-that circumstance of
itself will never impress anv landsman
at least as one which can seriously de-
tract from the merits of the tactical
movement itself.
So far as the present inol1irv bas nro-
crossed it has been made plain, with
the case Of the navy department fully
before the court that the famous loon
cannot be misconstrued into anv aclxnou,1-
edgment, of weakness or bad Judgment on
the part of the man in actual command
in the engagement at Santiago. IT'S ro-
suits were nil. so far as it could in
