LONGS DEFENSE
REPLIES TO CRITICISM REGARD
ING DISTRIBUTION OF
PRIZE MONEY.
LETTER TO SENATOR NELSON
Declares the Charge That the Navy
Department Has Disseminated in
Favor of Sampson as Against
Schley to Be Unjust-Amounts Were
Fixed by the Court of Claims Under
Existing Laws.
LETTER TO SENATOR NELSON

Washington, Jan. 7.-Secretary Long
has addressed to Senator Knute Mel
SON of Minnesota a long letter defend
ing the navy department against what
is declared to be unfriendly criticism
in connection with the distribution OF
prize money and bounty. The letter
is called forth by one from the senator
asking for information on this point
for the use of Western newspaper.
The secretary declares the criticism
that the department has Disseminated
in favor of Admiral Sampson and
against Admiral Schley in the distribu-
ton of prize money and bounty is I'M
just because the department has no
control over the matter, the money
being distributed from the treasury
and all questions of law and fact re-
lated to prize and bounty having been
determined by the courts. The Sec
Rotary calls attention to the laws
touching prize and bounty as they ex-
listed at the beginning of the Spanish
war, and says that, though advised by
the attorney general that it might
make distribution, the navy depart
nent preferred to place the matter in
the court of claims and so far from
displaying favoritism, adopted the
most effective means in it's power to
secure a just determination by the
courts of the rights of all concerned.
Touching the claims of Admiral
Sampson for bounty at Santiago the
secretary says that the distribution
was made under a decree of the court
of claims, which he cites, and from
which
No Appeal Was Taken.
He further points out that, under the
prize laws, the commander-in-chief of
the feet is entitled to his "one-twen-
tieth" of bounty by virtue of his posi-
tion as commander-in-chief, whether
he is personally present during the en-
gagement or not. Says the secretary:
CAS- commander-in-chief, Admiral
Sampson would, therefore, under the
law, have been entitled to his share
of the bounty for the destruction of the
Spanish ships at Santiago If he had
been on the north shore of Cuba at the
time. This was the law, for which the
navy department is in no wise respon-
sible.'' q -
On this point the secretary says the
itself was the first to real
lie the inequalities of this law and to
make the recommendation which led
DO it's repeal, SO that rather amusing
feature of the attacks made upon the
navy department" as the secretary
puts it, is that the administration is
blamed more than two years after it
had cured the evil. The secretary con-
Guided his letter with an extract from
The report of the auditor of the treas
Try for the navy department, showing
he status of the prize money and
bounty cases, yet unsettled, owing to
delays in the courts, and predicting a
settlement within the year.

OLD JOE, THE NIGHT wAroHMAr


(From the Pail Mall Gazette, London.I
How often on returning home late
on a dreary winters night has our
sympathy gone out to the poor old
night-watchman as he sat huddled up
over his cage fire, overlooking the ex-
cavations which our city council in
their wisdom or otherwise, allow the
different water companies to make SO
frequently in our congested streets.
In all weathers and under all climatic
conditions, the poor old night-watch-
man is obliged to keep watch over the
companies property, and to see that
the red lights are kept burning. What
life, to be sure; what privations and
hardships; no wonder they have aches
and pains. which nothing but st. ia
cob's Oil can alleviate.
''Old joe is in the employ of the
Lambeth Water Works, and is well
and favorably known. He has been a
night-watchman for many years. In
the course of which he has undergone
many experiences. What with wet and
cold. he contracted rheumatism and sci
atica, which fairly doubled him up, and
it began to look a serious matter for old
Joe whether he would much longer be
able to perform his duties, on which
his good wife and himself depended
for LIVELIHOOD; but as it happened,
passerby, who had for some nights no.
-iced Old Joe's painful condition, pre-
sented him with bottle of st. Jacobs
Oil, and told him to use it. Old Joe
followed the advice given; he crawled
home the next morning and bade his
wife rub his aching back with the st.
Jacobs Oil "a gentleman gave him.
and undoubtedly his wife did rub, for
when old Joe went on duty at night he
met his friend and benefactor, to
whom he remarked: Them Oils you
gave me, Guv'nor, did give me doing;
they was like pins and needles for
time, but look at me now" and old
Joe began to run and jump about like
young colt. ALI pain, stiffness and
soreness had gone; he had been tell
ing everybody he met what ST. Jacobs
Oil had done for him. Old Joe says
now he has but one ambition in life.

for he says there is nothing like it in
the world.
ST. Jacobs Oil serves the rich and
the poor, high and low the same way.

and it will do the same to the end of
time. 1t has no equal, consequently

MAGIC SNOW CRYSTALS

ed storm produce also different types
In the New England region the north
ern and western portions of the storm
produce more perfect crystals than the
southern and eaStern.
The internal structure of the snow
crystal, delicate tracery that some
times suggests Gothic ornamentation
on an infinitely minute scale of draw
ing and at others miniature repro
duction of the snow-laden frs of a pine
forest, is practically a life history of
the snow crystal itself. AS the higher
cloud strata are colder than those near
er the earth the crystals formed there
are smaller. more compact. and less
branched than those of the warmer
clouds below them
These crystals as they fall from one
cloud stratum to another change in
character-although this is not always
the case, especially in great storm
or where the lower clouds are of low
temperature-but it is usually possible
to deduce their starting point from an
examination of their internal structure.
The nucleus of the crystal remains;
that is, III its original form, in spite
of the various additions which are
made to it during it's passage down
WdTu- ne crystal may pass IhiOuoi
cloud layers very similar to that from
which it came or it may experience
various vicissitudes of temperature,
density and ether conditions, but all
the phenomena appear clearly in
comparison of the Harvard photo
graphs.
Occasionally a crystal is formed that
is an accidental compound OF two 9th
ers, but as general thing careful
study of a single crystal tells a per-
fectly coherent story and this study
is the more fascinating in that the
manner of telling is so infinitely varied

find some new point of aesthetic as

THE CLASSES OF FREIGHT.

No one has ever attempted to emu
merate the various kinds of persons
carried in passenger cars on a trans
continental railway-such as how
many men, women and children; how
many Whites, Negroes. Indians and
Chinese; how many natives and for
eigners; or how many Democrats and
Republicans.
In the matter of freight, though, the
various items carried are frequently
tabulated, throwing side lights of
the products, industries and wants of
widely separated communities. The
Santa Fee, for example, during the last
fiscal year carried 100000 tons of
agricultural products, 1,115. 900 tons of
animal products, 3,435 900 tons of min
eral products SS5, 900 tons of lumber
1,225, 900 tons of manufactured arti-
cles, 600, 900 tons of merchandise and
425, 900 tons of miscellaneous stuff
The most important items are in order
named: Bituminous coal, wheat, live
stock lumber stone and sand, mer-
chandise, corn. ores, fruits and vegeta-
bles, cement and brick, -four and cot
ton.
What is dug out of the ground
equals what is raised on top of it. An
imal products are nearly as important
as manufactured articles. The least
important item is tobacco. The ship
ments of household goods exceed those
of liquors. Agricultural implements
are on a par with wagons and car
riages.

The crystals, magnified from 81 to 50

riety for no two are precisely alike.
Certain types recur frequently, such as
the star-shaped crystal, the star form
with solid nucleus, the tabular form,
and numerous variations of skeleton
growths with the hexagon as a base,
but the inclusion of air while the
crystal is in process of formation gives
to each specimen some unique distinc
