that the postofice department passed
a rule last year that the sitting con-
gresham would necessarily have to
have the appointments in all counties
in his present district. no matter
whether they remained with him
under the respportionment or not.
In spite of this rule Postmaster
Thomas came near being deprived of
his Office in behalf of Chairman Nc
Donald, and the latter would proba-
bly, have succeeded had it not been
for the vigorous fight put up by Con-
gresham Prince, aud especially from
the fact that both senator's, seeing the
confusion which had been created by
their kindly Endorsements. came to
the active support of Representative
Prince and placed the matter before
the president in such a way that
Postmaster Thomas will certainly fill
out his full term until January and
probably will be reappointed then for
another four years.
1.-The fight over the Rock Island
Office has been an extremely bitter

north OF Colby, Thomas county, Sat
urday evening. July Doth. While
the 1S-vear-old daughter, Miss Cora,
in the absence OF her father at town,
was doing the usual evening chores.
she was assaulted by a masked man
and dragged for a distance OF more
than eighty rods to a field adjoining
the house.
On account OF the desperate fight
made by the girl she was kicked and
beaten into insensibility and laid III
the field for more than two hours be-
fore she was discovered. Blood
hounds were obtained from Beatrice,

From this point he was tracked into

Naclay's Bitter Attack on Schley.

| New York. July 24.-Here is what
Edgar ;. MacLav has TO say in his
History OF the United States Navy
concerning Admiral Schley's temper

in his report about the coal sup

Schley exhibited either a timidity
amounting to absolute cOwardice or
prevarication of facts that were
| intrinsically falsehOOds.
"Schley, on May IS, 1898. sullied

Viewed in whatever light 1t may
be, the foregoing dispatch cannot be
characterized otherwise than as be-
ing, without exception, the most
humiliating. cOwardly and lamenta-
bic report ever penned by an Amerl-
can naval officer"
As TO the reconnaissance at San
tiago, historian MacLay says:
This timid and nerveless attack
on Cervera ships is the more disap-
pointing when we remember the elab-
crate and brave preparations Schley
had made to get at the enemy in
earnest.
''Schley' farcical blockade cannot
be described otherwise than aswillful
disobedience of orders
As to the loop of the BroOklin,
MacLay comments as follows:
"Schlev hastily ordered the helm

the Texas, said the officer. Let the
Texas take care of herself, was the
heartless reply; and the shameful
spectacle of an American war ship,

enemy's-a warship whose comman-

ties of ammunition on target prac-
tice in the presence of a fashionable

New York, July 2G.-Capt. Eulate

'As gentleman, | can't appre-

COURT MEETS SEPT. II.
Washington, July 26.-Admiral
George Dewey, president of the Schley
court of inquiry, and Rear Admlrals
Louis A. Kimberly and Andrew (.
X. Benham. members, will meet in
Washington Sept. II, to investigate
the controversy over Admiral
Schley's conduct.
The sessions of the court will be
open, by order of the secretary, who
will direct that there shall be no fail
ure to afford Admiral Schley every
opportunity for securing all the wit
nesses he may desire.
The testimony to be presented
must follow closely on the lines of
the official reports ofthe engagement
at Santiago and the operations pre-
ceding the destruction of Cervera' 8
feet. Cross-examination will devel-
OPP the expression of professional
views. but so far as the case is con-
cerned the public is already well in
formed of the questions at issue.
Admiral Schley has been charged
with disobedience of orders; that his
movements were unnecessarily slow;
that he was guilty OF reprehensible
conduct in starting with his squad
ron for Key West, leaving the enemy
in his rear, and that he kept his YES
sci at the greatest range of distance
compatible with his personal safety
when under fire. A study of the re-
port conveys the idea that Admiral
Schley was piqued in being suppressed
ed in command by his subordinate in
rank, Admiral Sampson, and that all
his movements were stupidity awk-
ward to say the least.
On the schley side his friends claim
that awkward conditions and orders
were maliciously invented for his EN-
barrassment in the determination
that he should gain no credit out of
the siege of Santiago. The Schley
people insist there was a conspiracy
to ruin their hero, and the Sampson
faction claim that Schley was insub-
ordinate. Jealous and incompetent,
if not cowardly.

Big Job for Bittinger.

st. Joseph, Mo, July 25.-The
latest bit of political gossip to go
the rounds here relative to the post
office fight is that Major Bittinger
former st. Joseph boss and present
consul general to Montreal, who has
been mentioned as possible candi-
date for the office, is to be cared for
in much better style that he will not
bother with the little thing like the
st. Joseph postOffice. 1t is said that
he is to be made consul general to
Mexico, in which position he will
draw $4,000 year, $4,000 more
than the Montreal job pays 1t is a
well known fact that the majors OBJ
lection to the Montreal cOnsulship
was that it did not pay enough
money. The story comes from the
innermOst recesses of the republican
camp that Powell Clayton, Colonel
keren' s friend, Is to resign as con,
sui general to Mexico this fall in or.
der to make a place for Bittinger.
