Rear Admiral sampson,

A pathetic closing Ia a long and dis.
tinguished career is that Of Rear ADJ
miral W. T. SAMPSON. At his request,
he has been detached from SER
vice az tho Charlcstown Navy Yard,
which he lately commanded. and on
Sunday he babe good-by 10 his sub
ordinate officers. preparatory to making
his homo in Washington. He viii re-
tire in February Of the coming year.
Admiral SAMPSON hauls down his
Tag broken in health, perhaps ire
~tricvably; and IL IA certain inhuman
passion in the press could have had its
way, he would have been wrecked in
mind, 80 and outrageous
was the abuse that has been Noted out
TO him at its hands. He retircs from
active service absolutely without reward
for his victorious services as commander
Of our Cuban fleet in the Spanish war.
and this because the supporters Of an
other officer, backed by the regular
party enemies of tho Administration,
insisted that their ~favorite should re-
ceive a greater reward than the Presi-
dent, acting within his discretion, had
apportioned TO him.
IL Is a story at which patriotic Ameri-
ram will have cause TO blush for many
"A year. and men of our navy feel a
twitohing OF the heart strings.

chartered for the trip. After spending the
day on the island the party boarded the

crush which followed women and children
were knocked down and trampled upon.

was picked up seriously injured about the
body.

crash the first deck was submerged. Three

cident occurred had by this time nearly
reached the disabled steamer. They imme-

fellow exeursonists on the first deck had
been short time before. The water was

an excursion boat arrived from Glen island
and took on board the remaining passen
