ALLEN ATTACKS SAMPSON
He Denounces the Admirafs Letter
to Secretary Long.
The Alleged Destroyer of Ccrvcr"s
Fleet scored in Unmeasured Terms
BEFORE the Senate-Thc Ncbrasknn
Reudy to Answer for His Remarks.

Mr. Allen created something of SEN
sation during the debate on the Army
| Appropriation bill in the Senate yester-
! day afternoon. He referred to Rear Ad-
mIral Sampson as a 'cOnceited ass, as
! "a disgrace to the service and the coun-
! trv" and as "a rank and arrant coward.
! Tie invectives were greeted with applause
/ on the floor and in the galleries. and Mr..
Morgan prevented an uproar only by de-
clining to yield the floor to anyone
Mr.. Allen read the letter sent by
Charles Morgan, a gunner, to Rear Ad-
niiral Sampson. He also read the letter
sent to Secretary Long by Rear Admiral
Sampson. in which the latter asked That
the former be careful in appointing en-
signs. as some of the warrant officers
had not had social advantages" and
might not have a certain degree of re-
iinement.
Mr.. Allen then said that he supposed
the letter was genuine.
This proves beyond the shadow of a
doubt" said he. that there is snob-
bish aristocracy in the navy which is
disgrace to the service and the country.
This man Morgan will compare favorably
with any man in the navy.
Because he comes from low rank
Sampson is the author of that letter he is
conceited ass and he ought to he brand
ed as such.
Sampson did not come from such good
stock in the beginning, and were he to
have his own medicine he would still be
a warrant officer.
Sampson is a rank and arrant coward
and he shows it in this letter. | am re-
sponsible for what ! say and ! will an
swer for it to Sampson and his friends.
II decline to yield any longer. said Mr..
Morgan.
u want to reply to the Senator from
Nebraska shouted Mr.. Chandler.
Il decline to yield replied Mr.. Nor
gan.
81 am going to speak anyway said MIR.
Chandler ''and the Senator might
well yield
81 will not yield" said Mr.. Morgan.
Mr.. Chandler then appealed to the
Chair. Messrs. Pettigrew. Teller, and
Stewart said that if Mr. Chandler were
permitted to speak they would speak, too.
Mr.. Chandler then sat down without
replying
1t was stated at the Senate yesterday
that the Sampson letter would in all prob
ability have the effect Of seriously affect
ing his chance of promotion. 1t is not
now regarded as likely that any further
effort will be made to advance him after
he has made himself ridiculous in the eyes
of the country.
Messrs Hale, Teller. Tillman, Pettigrew,
and others will discuss the letter at the
first opportunity, and some hot shot is
expected
