NAVY DEPARTMENT. 7CllQOE.

OF the Flying Squadron, from the time it
left Hampton Roads to locate Admiral
zCervera's fleet, then cruising somewhere
off the coast of Cuba, or. perhaps, the
eastern coast of the United States. The
history OF n the discovery of Ceryera's
fleet is well-knoWn everywhere.
If Admiral Schiey is proved guilty of
disobedience Of orders from the Navy
Department during his campaign as COM
mander of the Flying Squadron, this dis
obedience will not be credited to coward
ice or anything OF this kind. de may
have displayed lack OF judgment In some
instances, but this will not be admitted
against him by any of his friends or the
American people at large.
CLIQUE ON .sE2 RUN.
The Navy Department clique is now on
4 the run, so to speak. Admiral Crowrin-
shield and his associates ALREADY realize
the fact that they have been defeated,
and are now fearful. 1T is said, that CON
sress will take UP the whole matter dur
ing the coming winter and more complete
Sly yindicate Schley than will the Court
Of Inquiry of which Admiral dewey is
at the head and wf,dch will render its
opinion some time in December, IT not
before. It is known to be a fact that
resolutions will be introduced in both the
Senate and the House demanding that
a complete investigation of the Navy
Department be made in connection with
the tremendous effort which has been
made to unjustly crtticiss the man who
was most prominent in destroying the
Spanish fleet at Santiago. Whether or
not these resolutions will be acted upon
in either house, is "a question. If. how
ever, the decision of the Court Of Inquiry
is at all unfavorable to Admiral Schley, 1t
seems likely that both houses OF Con-
gress will take the matter up. and the
result will be the thorough ventilation of
the Navy Department methods. and may
end in dismissal from the Department
of some of the officials who have en-
deavored to destroy the character of the
man, namely-Winfield Scott schley, who
has been proved a hero instead of
"craven coward at the Court of Inquiry
which has given such lengthy attention to
this case.

1TAsHINGTON,D D. c., November 9.--No
matter what the decision may be in the
Schley Court Of Inquiry, all the indica-
lions now point to an investigation OF
the whole matter by the Ftfty-seYenth
Congress.
z twill probably. be some time after Con
gress assemblies on Monday, December
End, before Admiral DeweyEand his ycol-
leagues, who were selected by the Navy
Department to conduct the present IN
q,li1 reach q final. decision.
That Admiral Schiey will be acquitted
of the charge of cowardice, goes without
saying. notwithstanding the efforts OF
the so-called naval clique, who endeaN-
ored to besmircfr his character as a gen.
tleman and an officer, Admiral SchleEs
friends feel confident that upon this
he will be completely vindicated.
There is possibility, of course, that the
Court Of Inquiry will find him guilty. 50
to speak, of some of the charges MADE
in the Navy Department precept. All
this however, will be fmmater1al, for the
reason that the best that the court can do
is to find him guilty of error in judgment
or in ,disobedience of some of the PEI
culiar orders sent him by the Navy De-
partment during the Spanish-Anerican
War, and while he was in command OF
the Flying Squadron.
Had it not been for the fact that Edward
S. Maclay, a uninor clerk in the 3BropKiyn
MAYNARD, in his well-known publication
charged Admiral Schley as having been

District Came Next on the List Great Victory
in the Southwest Election Aftermath.

Districts save Colonel Hoge FIVE counties
each. The Seventh gave him four and
the Tenth five.
1t is regarded as a coincidence that the
Valley end of the Seventh and Tenth Dis
tricts beth left the Democratic column on
Tuesday. They have usually gone for
that party, and some OF them by heavy
ma.iolitcs. They are as follows. Page,

teresls CT their people are quite similar.
Decidedly the greatest victory in the
State WIS out in the Ninth District,
which is about a stand-off between Col
onel Hogc and Mr.. Montague 1t was
there that the convention was under
heaviest fire, and the Democrats at first
were hopeless and willing to concede it
by large majority#to the Republicans.
But Chairman Ellyson. iNIr. Montague,
Judge Ehea, Judge Marshall and other
State leaders worked in perfect harmony
and threw their noblest efforts into play.
They met the convention issue fairly and
fearlesslH, and had behind them united
rank and file, SO when the smoke OF bat
tie cleared away they had won a great
victory.

In conformity with the forecasts re-

progress of the recent campaign in Viz
g.nia, the Democrats carried the State on

There are some interesting facts in con-
nection With the vote cast on Tuesday.
Richmond city and the Third District
proved the great gibraltar OF Democracy.
The fo1 mer gave the distinguished young
GovCrnor-elect s. 036 majority-the largest
OF any county or citysin the Statewide

the districts in the State, with a total
majority OF 1000 the next highest being

The smallest ma ority given Mr.. Mon
ztaguc in any district was in the Fifth,
which went for, him by only 49, The
Seventh followed with only o52 Demo-
cratic majority Tie Ninth was the only
district !n@the State that went for Col
onel Hoge. Unofficial returns give hin,
only II majority. and the democrats
think this may be wiped out by the off
c;al court. The reducing of the Republic
can majority to practically nothing in the
Ninth District is considered as splendid
Democratic victory. for in the opening
stages of the canvass the Southwest was
in terrible shape.

His Moments Of joy.

Did you ever hear Of the strange
man who went out to a summer hotel
once for a holiday? He impressed on
the clerk the first day he was there
that it was Of vital importance that he
he called at G o'clock next morning.
He was called. He didn't come down
stairs till 2 in the afternoon. The in
junction to the clerk was repeated ev'
cry day, and every day the mysterious
guest staid in his room till late in the
afternoon. When he had been at the
place week and was about to leave.
the clerk said to him:
II beg your pardon, sir; it's none OF
my business, but why have you left or
ders to be called at o'clock every
morning and never got out of bed till
several hours later?
"Well," he replied, am tell you.
Back in the city I've got a job that
compels me to get up every morning,
summer and winter, at 6 o'clock. This
is my first vacation for five years. Ev.
cry day when your bellboy has come
up stairs and banged at the door I've
started up to dress and get down to the
office and then suddenly let the convic-
ton steal blissfully over my brain that
l didn't have to. Then I've gone back
to bed. Rugged the pillow and dreamed
that was in the Elysian fields. That
moment of joy that has followed the
banging on my door every morning has
been worth three times the price Of the
bill."-Chicago Times-Herald.
