Right of Purveying Them Sold to a
Syndicate.
The Grande Chartreuse, I read, has
sold the right of purveying its famous
liquors to a syndicate. Hitherto a lay
brother has been at the head of this
business. Until comparatiy ely recent

TO Go to south Pole.

The ship which is to be used in the
coming south polar expedition, organ
lied under the patronage Of the En-
peror William, is now being construct
ed at the Howaldt works at Kiel, says
the Engineering News. The boat is to
be $50 feet long and 80 feet maximum
width, and to be provided with a triple
covering Of wood no less than thirty
inches thick; this has been found nee
essary to resist the pressure Of the ice.
1t will have no port holes or windows.
At the start the coal provision will be
400 tons, and this is to be replenished
at Cape Town and Kerguelin by coal
ing vessels which will go to meet the
ship. A full rigging Of sails will be
provided, besides the engine, and an
allowance for speed is made Of seven
knots an hour. The expedition will
include four scientific men, and for
these two laboratories will be pro-
vided, which will be fitted up with the
best available instruments. The per
sonnet includes FIVE officers and a crew
OF twenty men. The boat is to take
along a captive balloon and fifty ST.
berian dogs for the sleighs. The ken
nels for the dogs are placed on deck.
The expedition will start this summer.

kittens Get intoxicated.

Two maltese kittens, who make their
home in a Third avenue saloon, go
down into the cellar as soon as they
can get there after the saloon opens up
and come upstairs again scarcely able
to walk. The proprietors offered them
a saucer Of beer, but they refused to
drink it, but laid their noses over the
edge Of the saucer, inhaling the fumes
CT the beverage, and in a few minutes
staggered away to fall asleep in some
out Of the way place An Investigation
showed that the cats had a nest IN the
cellar alongside a cask Of ale. The
kittens inhaled the fumes from the
open bunghole and in that way got
drunk every day-New York Letter

The Reform League.


Charlie Bonaparte and several other mem
beers of the Reform League of Maryland have
been guessing on rejected bollots and real and
alleged election results, and the result is a
report filling several columns. The League is
professedly bipartisan body, organized to
purify politics and government. But if it has
been anything but q rampant, reckless part.
san organization, we have failed to note it.
It should be called Deformed League. Its
professions do not accord with its practices,
as it is continually critiscising and defamine
the Democratic party, with no adverse com
ment upon the conduct of Republicans. The
membership is almost wholly made up OF
blind Republican partisans and the balance
have no fixed political principles.
The last deliverance ofthe League is nothing
but a rehash of the rawlings of McComas and
Goldsborough, with some figures as to re.
jected balots-mere guesses-thrown in. The
League is never happy except when it is
scolding the Democratic party, and is never
so quiet and unobserving as when the Repub
lican party is in power. Not member, per
haps, WINGED at voting for some of the scaly
Republican candidates at the late election
but yet presume to speak of pure methods anC
pure men. Its motto should be Hypocrisy.

Always Easy.

The Sentinel last week contained two very
satisfactory articles in reply to the ADVOCATE
expose of the giteses il was endeavoring to
palm off on its readers as facts, concerning
the number of defective ballots cast at the
late election and the number voted by White
Men and the number voted by Negroes. We
say very satisfactory, because they were very
satisfactory to the Sentinel. No one outside
of the Sentinel sanctum, so viewed them, and
they call for no comment, because they were
simply no replies at all. One error the Sen
tinel made, however, must be denied-that
is, that the article of the ADVOCATE was ia
bored" We assure our esteemed. contempt
rary that it is never any labor to expose the
yagaries, inconsistencies and haphazzard
guesses and speculations of that Journal 1t

Press Comments.

Over the country has swept wave of ad-
verse criticism of the opinion of the Schley
Court of Inquiry, very few of the newspapers
commencing the verdict of the court and
nearly all of them holding that the opinion OF
Admiral Dewey fully offsets that of his col
leagues on the board. Some of the editorial
comments on the verdict are as follows:
From the Baltimore Sun 1t is most deeply
to be regretted that the two inferior members
of the Schley Court of Inquiry, constituting a
majority of that body, have had the hardihood
to make report yoicing substantially the
prejudices of jealous fellow-officers in the
Navy Department rather than the plain truth,
as made manifest to the American public by
the great event with which the whole world is
familiar. The majority report admits, indeed,
that admiral Schley's conduct during the
battle was self.possessed and that he encour.
aged in his own person his subordinate officers
and men''-thus disposing of the absurd
"caitiffn charge-but in respect to his entire
management of the feet before the battle of
Santiago and during that victorious action the
majority report finds the Admiral at fault.
Evidently finding SO out of keeping with the
Judgment of the unprejudiced public cannot
stand, but will necessitate a Congressional in
vestigation and second inquiry, thus creating
an unpleasant parallel to the Dreyfus scandal.
1t is to be noted that Admiral Dewey,
minority of the court, indeed, but its presiding
officer and in position which enables him to
judge the facts far better than the other mem
bers of the court, sustains Admiral Schey in
al important points, finding that he did his
full duty throughout the Santiago campaign
and is entitled to the credit of the superb naval
victory there. This is the verdict of common
sense and will command general support.
The victor of Manila, being in position to
judge impartially, honors the victor of Santi-
ago, while the other members of the court,
with no such qualifications, undertake to re-
verse the facts of history.

Findings in the schley Inquiry

In an other column will be found the opin-
ion of the Court of Inquiry in the case OF
Admiral Schley, some press comments on the
opinion, and a comparison of the Naval desk
heroes, who condemned Schley, with the real
fighters of the Navy, Dewey and Schley.
Admiral Benham and Ramsay conclude that
SchIey should have done variety of little
technical nothings, but say he acted heroically
during the naval battle off Santiago, and Adj
miral Dewey not only exhonerates Schley but
accords him full praise for winning the battle.
Schley was directed to blockade Santiago
and to give battle should Cervera try to es-
cape. The blockade was we'll guarded, and
when the Spanish feet tried to escape Schley
attacked the feet and destroyed or captured
every boat. Some 1900 Spanards were killed
and all others were made prisoners. The
victory was complete. Nothing more could
have been done, and Schley, we believe, lost
but one man, In view of this, the judgment
of Benham and Ramsay seems like con-
demnation for destroying Spain's last hope.
Had Cervera escaped the war would have
been prolonged, which some naval officers
and naval contractors no doubt desired
For some reason, the controlling clique in
the Navy and the Navy Department under
took to belittle Schey, and both were backed
by the Mckinley Administration. Mckinley
eudeavorod to haveSampson, who was twelve
miles away when Cervera's feet emerged from
Santiago harbor, elevated over Sehley, but
the United States Senate would not confirm
his action. Schley was then given undesir-
able sea command, and the persecution of
Schley was intensified. In the award of priz'
money Sampson was given $25, 797 IA, ands
will probably receive SIC, 900 more. Schley was
allowed 1884. Capt. Chadwick, vino was
with Sampson, was. allowed Slo,347.5S.
Capt. Cook, who was with Schley on the
Brooklyn, will receive So, 1902. Was in
Justice more palpable? Was prejudice ever
carried so far? During the war of 1851 60,
Generals not in political sympathy with the
Administration, like Mcclellan and Meade,
we're turned aside. In the S;nanish war, Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, who knew more about affairs
in Cuba, the population, the general condi
lions, the Insurgents, the Spanish troops and
the topography of the country than any United
States officer, was held in Florida, while
Shafter was sent to Cuba to direct the cam
paign against the Spanish. But all this is
insignificant comp..red with the treatment of
Schley. However, the overwhelming major
ity of the people accord Schley the distinction
and honor Que him and his great achievement
in overcoming Cervera's fleet. Wherever he
goes crowds cheer and applaud him, and hail
him as one. of the greatest of American naval
commanders.

Through Secretary Hay negotiations for the
purchase of the Danish West Indies Islands
are being made. Before making more pur-
chases of foreign lands and people the United
States should be certain they are not getting
war to boot. Our experience in the Philip
pines should make us very careful in purcbas,
Ilag territory and inhabitants. The people Of
the pe..;>Aa Islands should be consulted as 10
whether they want to come under United
