WASHINGTON GOSSIP

All records were broken last Thurs
day, says the Washington Post, in the
number of nominations sent to the
Senate by President Roosevelt. The
list aggregated 2i6I, of which 205T
were army and navy promotions, near
ly 300 were Dostmasters, and the rest
included all kinds of offices.
Representative Jackson of Kansas
has introduced bill recommending
that the United States purchase the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies and thereafter operate them
in connection with the postotlice de-
partment Provision is made for ap-
praisal of the property of the compa-
MES and for the payment of its ap-
praised value when the amount is re-
ported to Congress.
Senator Hanna, during the discussion
of the ship subsidy bill. referred to
the fact that the American nation is
to-day supreme in the agricultural and
Industrial business of the world, but Is
at the very lowest in regard to its
merchant marine. From the highest
point in 1861, when we carried ninety
two per cent. of the oreign trade, he
said, we have decreased until to-day
American ships only carry eight per
cent. of the foreign tonnage. Senator
Hanna said: "We are building mag
niiicent navy and shall continue until
we are second to no nation. We should
also build something for the navy to
defend. The amount now paid annu-
ally by American merchants into the
pockets of foreign ship owners is $500.
100000. No cQantry on the face of the
globe could sglpd that drain but the
United StatesS tRd why need we
stand 1t? We can see how the SUBJ
sidy is affecting England and her war
with South Africa. Her vessels have
been taken for Transporting her troops
and munitions. while the raw mater
ials from our mines, etc, are lying on
our docks awaiting transportation
abroad"
Senator Teller has introduced bill
for the relief of the heirs of John Ev-
ans and trustees under the VIII of Rob-
ert Il. Carr The bill recites that Evans
and Carr. under contract with the Den
yer Pacific railway, constructed the
railway between Cheyenne and Denver
in 1864, under wich contract they re-
ceived in part payment lands in Weld,
Larimer, Boulder and Jefferson cOun-
ties, aggregating 5000 acres. These
lands consisted of odd-numbered sec
tions within the railway land grant.
These lands are pronounced of little
value because the adjacent even-num-
bered sections are still owned by the
United States. fhe bill authorizes the
secretary of the Interior to permit the
heirs Of Evans and the trustees of
Carr to surrender TO the United States
one-half of the odd.numbcred sections
of land and receive in lieu thereof
even-numbered sections of like area
and full value. The secretary is au-
thorlzed to grant patents TO the benc-
ficiaries of the bill for the odd-num-
bered sections retained and for the
even-numbered sections selected. This
bill is particularly noticeable in that IL
provides in this instance for similar
action to that requested by the Ma
tlonal Live Stock Association con
vention Mt Chicago for general ex-
change and consolidation Of lands
where land holders own the alternate
odd-numbered sections and the United
States the evcn-numbcred sections.

SCHLEY CONDEMNED BY COURT
BUT is SUSTAINED BY DEWEY

Washington, Dec. 14.-The report of
the Schley court of inquiry was pro-
mulgated by Secretary Long last night.
There are two reports. Admiral
Benham and Admiral Ramsay concur
in the first, which is signed by Admiral
Dewey also as n matter of form. Ad-
miral Dewey makes Il separate report,
although he agrees with the findings
of facts subscribed to by the others.
The majority report condemns Admi-
raj Schley on eleven points, while Ad-
miral Dewey sustains him in most par
ticulars. The majority opinion finds
in brief that Admiral Schley should
have proceeded with the utmost dis
patch to Cienfuegos and maintained n
close blockade: that he should have
endeavored to obtain information of the
Spanish there: that he should have pro-
ceeded to Santiago with dispatch; that
he should not have made the retro
grade movement; that he should have
obeyed the departments orders; that
he should have endoavOred to capture
the Spanish vessels in Santiago; that he
did not do his utmost TO destroy the
Colon: that he caused the squadron 10
lose distance in the loop of the Brook
lyn; that he thereby caused the Texas
to back; that he did Injustice to Hodg-
son; that his conduct in the campaign
was characterized by vacilation, dila-
toriness, and lack of enterprise; that
his official reports on the coal supply
We're misleading and Inaccurate; that
his conduct during the battle was self
possessed and that he encouraged In
his own person his subordinate officers
and men.
Admiral Dewey In his report says
that the passage TO Clenfuegos was
made with all dispatch: that In view of
his coal supply the blockade of Glen
fuegos was effective; that he allowed
the Adula TO enter Cienfuegos TO get
information; that his passage to San.
tiago was with as much dispatch MS
possible, keeping the squadron togcth.
The state herald., 1901-12-20

er; that the blockade of Santiago was
effective and finally, that he was the
senior officer of Santiago, in absolute
command and entitled to the credit due
for the glorious victory which resulted
in the total destruction of the Span
ish ships.
In conclusion the court adds the fol
lowing;
Recommendation-In view Of the
length of time which has elapsed since
the occurrence of the events of the SAN
tiago campaign, the court recommends
that no further proceedings be had in
the premises.
(Signed) GEORGE DEWEY,
Admiral u. S. ~, President.
SAMUEL c. LEMLY,
Judge Advocate General u. S. n. Judge
Advocate.
A representative of the Associated
Press conveyed the first Information Of
the findings of the court to Admiral
Schley. He was seated In the public
reception room of hotel chatting with
friends and several newspaper men.
and evinced no signs of nervousness
over the outcome.
When the conclusions of Admiral
Dewey We're read to him Admiral
Schley showed his pleasure, and 1t was
evident from his manner that he re-
garded the statement from Admiral
Dewey as n vindication cf his course.
He declined to make any statement
concerning the courts findings, and
excusing himself from the little com
pany which had gathered about him.
~ N hiS n mn rfT NvhnIn MrS
Schlcy had been anxiously awaiting to
hear the courts decision. Later the
official copy was brought to the hotel
by n messenger from the Navy Depart
ment.
Admiral Dewey was seen late to-
night, and declined to make any state
ment concerning the courts findings.
He said that the court was not dis
solved. and that he was still bound by
his oath of secrecy.
