WASHINGTON, August 90, 1901
MAKE way for the new Caesar 2"
That is the sort of a shout some
rubber-lunged understrapper will be
putting up in front of Acting Score
tary Hackett, il he is left in sole
charge of the Navy Department
much longer. His head gets bigger
every day, and he comes nearer
thinking himself the whole thing.
He has made it quite plain that he
is anti-Schley. In this he has fol-
lowed the example of Secretary
Long, the difference being that Long
has more tact and courtesy than to
assume autocratic airs. 1t is under
stood that so many complaints
about Hackett have been made 10
Mr.. Mckinley that he has given
Secretary Long a hint by wire that
1t would be advisable for him to cut
his vacation short and return to
Washington some time before the
assembling of the Schley Court of
Inquiry, and that Mr.. Long will re-
sumo charge of the Navy Depart
ment next week
TIT
The most important happenings
OF the week in the preparations for
the Schley inquiry are all connected
with Rear Admiral Howison, whose
sitting as a member Of the Court is
now anything but certain. Rear
Eurirt Schley, through his counsel,
requested the Navy Department to
forward a copy of an alleged inter
view with Howlson in which Schley
was sneered at and Sampson lauded
to that officer and request him to
say whether he was correctly re-
ported or not. Caesar Hackett has
made public his letter to Schley de-
nying the request and defending
Howison and giving reasons why he
should not be asked about that in.
terview, which is anything but con-
vincing. That is toomfoolery, of
course. Schley has the right to alb
solutely challenge HowIson, if he
wishes to exercise it Capt. Parker,
who is assisting Schley's counsel in
preparing the case, has an affidavit
from the reporter who interviewed
Rear Admiral Howison, declaring
that the interview was absolutely
correct as published and expressing
his willingness to testify before the
Court of Inquiry if his evidence was
considered necessary. Should How
ison acknowledge the accuracy of
the interview, he would thereby dis
qualify himself for sitting on the
Court, no matter how anxious Ce.
sar Hackett and the anti SchIey
naval clique might be to keep him
on the Court. Should he deny the
correctness of the published inter
view, he will be confronted by the
reporter. Admiral Schley will not
believe that Howison used the lam
guage in that interview until he
either ac@ owledges it or refuses to
deny it. Being open and above
board in his own likes and dislikes,
he cannot understand how brother
officer can be otherwise. Schlev
spends good portion of every day
working and consulting with his
lawyers in the preparation of his
case. He smilingly declines all in
vitations to talk about it for publi-
cation, and says, "Wait for the
Court"

a wellkno Texan, Mr.. John r.
Cammins, of Austin, has been tell.
ing tales in Washington about the
ambitious young legislators of his
STAT. He said "The Legislature
is seeking to re district the State for
members of Congress. The ambi-
tlous young men in the Legislature.
who think they are qualified to come
to Congress, are seeking to fix up
the re-apportionment so that as
many as possible of the present
Representatives shall not be able to
receive re election. Half the Texas
delegation in Texas are lowering
around the State Capitol to protect
their personal interests, but ii looks
as though the Legislature would be
unable to do anything"
