is some chance Of its being passed) an
ordinance forbidding the wearing of
the tall hat (chapeau haute de forme)
within the boundries of the commune
The arguments put forth by the
author Of the motion are as follows:
considering that it is extremely dis
agreeable to see men dressed out In
this horrid stOvepipe (sic); that it is
much better to see a cure in his eccles-
astical habits than a corpnlent citizen
covered with this ridiculous headdress;
that this costly hat is humiliating for
those who have not the means to pay
for one of them; chat this headdress is
used only by aristocrats who live and
grow fat on the sweat of the poor; that
the world egalite being inscribed on all
the public monuments, it would be
right to render egalite obligatory by
every means is without doubt to stop a
certain caste from humiliating the
poor and humble in the matter of
dress.
"Aud considering that the tall hat
is neither artistic nor useful, that
it is not indispensable and that its dis
appearance will contribute to establish
ing an idea of egalite between all eiti-
gems.
"F'Or these reasons we forbid it to be
worn within the commune of Court

Schlev Modest.

While Secretary Long and CrOwnln-
shield and their clique are all determ-
ined that every scheme of rewarding
the officers and men who fought in the
naval, battle of Santiago on July ?, 1898,
shall be defeated unless the entire
glory of that triumph be given to Samp-
son. Sebley has put himself on record,
as the public has now learned for the
first time, that it will not take much
either of glory or of gain to satisfy his
claims for the part-and it was easily
the leading part-he took in winning
the victory. So modest, indeed, are
Admiral Schley's claims that it would
be comparatively easy to satisfy them,
and give Sampson all the titles and
position that his friends demand for
him at the same time.
The editor of the Naval Service Ga
zette, who is friend of Schley's, comes
forward with the statement that he had
a conversation with the admiral on
board the Brooklyn the day after Ger
vera's fleet was destroyed. When
Sehley was congratulated on the pre-
vious days victory, says the editor, the
commodore las he then was) disclaim-
ed his right to any special credit for
what he simply called the performance
of his duty; but what he was chiefly
delighted at was that the American
feet was in such state of preparation
as to make the winning of the battle so
easy. A third person who was present
at the time said to Schley:
''Of course. you'll get a substantial
reward for yesterdays work, but if you
could name your own reward, what
would you have from the president
and congress?"
After saying that it was nOt-for him
to measure the value of, what had been
done, and-refiectfng little, while the
commodore, still according to the editor
of the Naval Service Gazette, who Was
present, said:
81 would suggest this as q good and
sufficient reward: Let the president
or congress have struck off bronze
medals COMMUNICATING the victory.
Let one to be given to every officer and
man who participated in the battle, one
of these medals to 60 to me, 1 would
value it highly. You know, don't be-
lieve in special medals of gold and sill
yer. Just plain bronze medals-for all
alike. Then there is one more reward
which I would like. 1t would mean
much to me. It is the thanks of con-
Rress by name That's all I expect;
all hope for. With it and my own
consciousness of duty done, I shall
be satisfied"
The editor of the Naval Service Ca
zette, in publishing now this oonver-
sation with Schley for the first time,
adds that the admirals views have not
changed in the least since that day
and that the senate, if it so chooses,
can satisfy Sampson and his friends
by giving him all the titles he wishes,
without annoying Schley. With mere
IL "the thanks OF congress By name.s
and plain bronze medal eommemo-
rativs of the victory, would the hero of
the Santiago victory be satisfied. and
without touch Of envy would be see

title of vice admiral. with the accom-
rpanying increase Of pay, 60 TO Admir-
