HAS A FINE RECORD
Admiral Ramsay, Third Member or
the Schley Court.
Wns Not Engaged in the Spanish War
and Has Never Expressed an
Opinion - satisfactory to
Both Sides.

The vacancy in the Schley court of
inquiry, caused by the retirement of
Rear Admiral Howison, who was chal-
lenged for cause, has been filled by
the detail of Rear Admiral Francis
NJ. Ramsay, retired.
In the selection of Admiral Ramsay
the department adhered to it's orig
inal purpose of securing an officer
who had not been actively identified
with the Spanish war. Admiral Ram
say retired four years ago last April.
and has made his home in Washing
ton.
Admiral Ramsay, was the imme-
date predecessor of Admiral Crown
inshield as chief of the navigation
bureau of the navy department. He
was born in the District of Columbia,
but was appointed from Pennsylva-
mia to the naval academy as midship-
man October ), 1850. When the civil
war broke out he was a lieutenant on
the sloop of war Saratoga in the Af-
rican squadron, but as soon as he
became lieutenant commander, in
1862, he was transferred to the Mis-
sissippi squadron, and in command of
the ironclad Choctaw took part in
nearly all of the naval engagements
in the lower Mississippi and Yazoo
rivers. With a battery of three
heavy guns mounted on scows he par
ticipated in the siege of Nicksburg
and later was placed in command of
the third division of the Mississippi
squadron. His record is full of en-
gagements with guerrillas and confed-
crate batteries, and of expeditions
headed by him up the Red river, the
Black river and elsewhere, in the
Mississippi and gulf waters. He was
transferred to the North Atlantic
squadron in ga and '65, in command
of the Unadilla, and was in the thick
est of the fight at Fort Fisher, Fort
Anderson, the Cape Fear forts and
finally at the capture OF Richmond.
Since the war his principal work
has been as superintendent of the
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1901-10-03

naval academy, chief of the bureau
of navigation, ordnance work at the
navy yards, and various ship COM
mands, including the Boston, one of
the first vessels of the new navy. In
1889 he became commodore, and in
the same year was appointed to the
navigation bureau as chief, a posi-
tion filled by him until the date of
his retirement-April 5, 1897, with 16
years and months sea service.
Admiral Ramsay succeeded Admiral
Sampson as superintendent of the
naval academy, and he established so
many important reforms in the insti-
tuition that his administration is es-
pecially noteworthy in its history.
His term covered a period of five
years and was marked by one of the
few rebellions which have every hap
pened at the naval academy among
the cadet battalion. Admiral Ram
say displayed great irmness and the
cuIpritS were made to suffer heavily
The revolt was remarkable because
it involved the first or highest class,
was regarded as a serious infract
cadet liable to dismissal. Instead of
losing their commissions, all the
members of the class were impris-
oned on the station ship Santee. de-
prived of all privileges and other
wise made to pay the penalty of
righteousness. The cadets insisted
at the time, when questioned why
they rebelled, that Admiral Ramsay
had ordered all of their heads shorn
in order to procure hair for the NOR
tar used in building a new residence
for the superintendent. The real rea-
son was objection to some order of
the superintendent.
During Admiral Ramsays adminis-
tration ut Annapolis a congressional
investigation was talked of, owing to
reports that Cadet Strang had been
killed by haZing and that his tor
mentors had rolled him down hill in
a barrel with spikes driven through
the sides. Strang died from other
causes, and it was clearly proved by
investigation that he had never been
hazed.
In the early part of the 7O's Ad-
miral Ramsay was naval attache at
London. He afterward commanded
the Trenton, then one of the finest
ships of the navy, which was later
lost on the shores of Samoa during
the great hurricane of 1889.
Admiral Ramsay was married PC
years ago to Miss Mcmahon, a sister
OF Judge Martin Mcmahon, of New
York city, and has one son, Paymas-
ter NJ. NJ. Ramsay, in the navy.
A well-preserved man of &c years
of age, with delicate, refined features,
and clear gray eyes: and an erect
bearing, Admiral Ramsay still bears
the reputation which he earned many
years ago. of being one of the hand
soonest men of the navy.

WITH MUCH SECRE Y.
Ehe Remain OF Abraham Lincoln are
Moved to New Resting Place.

Springfield, ILL.,, Sept. 27.-The re-
mains of Abraham Lincoln were yes
terday placed in what it is expected
will be their final resting place. The
casket was taken from its former
place in the monument to Memorial
hall. and was there opened and the
body was viewed by Acting Gov. John
]. Brenhalt, representing the state Of
Illinois. and by state officers who are
members of the association, some
members of the old Lincoln guard
and the contractors.
The removal was conducted with
great secrecy, no newspaper repre-
scntatives having knowledge of the
event until after it had been accom-
plished. 1t was finally placed in the
vault recently completed by the Lin
colin Monument association.
The body now rests with the head
toward the west. 4'wo feet of con-
crete protect the bottom of the cas-
ket. The excavation is Il feet deep,
eight feet wide and eight feet long.
Surrounding the caSKet is a steel
cage. around which will be placed a
solid concrete wall. The present
resting place is Immediately beneath
where the sarcophagus formerly rest
ed. 1t is understood the remains
were not in a very good state Of pres
ervation, but were easily identified.

London, Sept. 27.-Joseph Law
renee, member Of parliament for the
Monmouth di.trict, addressing the
Newport chamber of commerce yes
terday made the most interesting and
compre ehensive statement of the
causes of American superiority in the
steel trade which has yet been pro-
vided for the alarmed British public
and business circles.
He told his audience that Charles
NJ. Schwab assured him the steel
trust could deliver steel bilIets in
England for $16.5O, whereas the low
est price for which British manufac-
turerS could make them was $40. Mr..
Schwab also asserted that when the
trust had completed certain ocean
transportation arrangements now
pending the American price would be
still lower. In addition to this state
ment, Mr. Schwab called the attcn-
tion of Mr.. Lawrence to the fact that
his steel workers get double the
wages paid British workmen in the
same line

With these in their hands they plunge

forming a compact semicircle, each
one holding his palm perpendicular in

The leader of the party then gives

The fish are then cooked over hot

there are those who think that the
