The Court of Enquiry.

Yesterdays proceedings in the Schiey
Court of Enquiry were again disap-
pointing 10 the navy ring. Another of
its star witnesses gave evidence quite
different from the kind desired by the
prosecution 1t was good enough evi-
dence TO satisfy honest people. in that
it helped to bring out the truth of Com
m0dore Schlcy's hard struggle during
the West Indian campaign against the
efforts Of brother officers To hamper
and defeat him in the performance Of
his duty. But the Navy Department,
II Lemly and his methods really repre-
sent IL, does not regard the present
case as one IN which il should assist the
applicant To get at and expose all the
facts, but as one in which il has a long
sought opportunity to practice the arts
Of the Tombs Police Court, and to seize
every chance to beIittle and besmirch
the gallant sailor and gentleman whom.
in spite OF all its power, influence. and
contained corruption, the American

is a wonder that he was not dead to
the world among the South Sea ISL
ands. instead Of in Washington. Wise
made admissions which the prosecuting
cabal would give a good deal today 10
have eXpunged from the record He
admitted that, although he had heard
at Cape Haitien Of Cervera's probable
presence in Santiago Harb0r. and al
though he had verified the information

Joined the Flying Squadron. he omitted
10 report this important and vital in

appears to be- a fair example Of the way
in which the Victor Of Santiago was
treated by every officer of the fleet who
happened 10 be under the Sampson

Until recently. the navy ring has con-
f2ently depended upon Lieutenant
Hodgson To show that the loop Of the
Brooklyn al Santiago was inspired by
cowarGiCe. Published misrepr5seute-
ton OF remarks made by Hodgs1n on
the subject led 70 this assumption.
Now it appears that he viii be a much
poorer witness for the prosecution"
than even Wise. and that. in fact. he
viii endorse the movement and show
that it was an entirely proper and per
haps necessary one to effect in the cir
cumstances. In Washington naval cir

The report that the lead producers
have taken alarm at the prospect Of the
formation Of a tweuty-miIlion dollar
lead trust and now contemplate the or
sanizatlou Of a trust Of their own. IS
reminder OF the fact that the price Of
lead has been arJinCially sustained by
the Smelling Trust for some time past.
About year and half ago the price
OF the metal suddenly broke badly.
dropping from four dollars or more per
hundred 10 something like three dollars
and sixty cents IN the Western mining
centres. At that price St was claimed
that many Of the sIver-lead mines
would have 70 close. as their profits de-
pended largely upon the price Of The
base metal
The SmeIter Trust was accused OF
having caused the break IN order To Sc
cure the lead at lower rates for smeIt-
ing purposes. BE that as il may. the
trust at once came forward with a pr0-
IosaI 10 take The entire product Of the
mines until the close Of the then cur
rent year 1T a fixed prlce-something
like four dollars a hundred. The mine
owners accepted the offer. and the ar
Tangcment has been IN force ever since
unless Il has been discontinued very
lately. Now IL seems the miners fear
the organization Of a trust for the s-c-
cifc purpose Of controlling the price Of
