PLEASE EXPLAIN, MR.. LONG

Secretary Longs defense Of the navy
department is not complete and con.
'incing enough TO be entirely satisfac.
tory. He dlsclaims responsibility for
the disproportionate award of prize
money to the commanders of the ships
that took part in he battle Of San.
t.ago when Cevera's feet was destroy.
cd. The low, he explains. directs the
method Of distributing prize money,
ond the navy department had to act
as the law directed. Under the law
the commanderin-chief il entitled to
one-twentieth Of the prize mony, and
Sampson being commanderin.ch chief.
the money was paid over TO him.
There is more in this award OF prize
money than the secretary has touched
upon AS he says, the law allots to
the commander-in-chief one-tweufeth
OF all prize money, regardless of the
commanders presence or absence in a
fight where prizes are taken, and under
this law. Sampson. as commander at
the time the battle was fought, has a
legal claim to that portion Of the
money; but the law allows totaoinn
money; but the same law allows to
the second in command a larger per.
oentage than TO the mere captain of "a
ship. Schley was second in authority
at Santiago. without question. Chad
wick was a mere stan captain with no
ship to command. In the awarding of
prize money Schley the superior gets
little more that $4,000, while Chad
wick has $4,000 put to his credit.
Where is the law that allows this un.
equal distribution.-Register.

The Awful Experiences of Carpenter,

How Brave Men Fought for Days and Nights for Their Very Exstence--~incredble Hardsfips Endared---So Terrible Was inc Wind That E'en Dogs Abso-
 latey Reused to Travel :n the Cafe.

The snow blew and sifted with deadly pertinacity and got beneath their fur rohe. They were forced to rise anu clear out the snow and the snow filled their clothes and melted when they again got beneath the robe and thus tHeir clCthing got wet. The neXt morn ing they h tched tbe eight dogs to the sled, put on their bedding. leaving everything else behind. and started for EidoraGo creek. where Nashs read house is located. They had travelled but mile or SO when the dogs refused 0 travel. SD fierce and cold was the wind. Again they made camp behind heir Yukon sled, and lay there two nights and two days. The only food they had was d little raw bacon, and q little fluid extract of beef.
 On the morning of Jan. 1, Carpenter, knowing that there was hard work be- fore him, ate heartily of the bacon. That. he thinks, was his urdoin4. They utiCfUliuPI to aDdDlOn UtbS, DeuQliS . and everything but the clothes they wore. in desperate attempt to reach he road house, r. or lS miles distant.

They staggered on, the snow knee deep, Hunter and Vint in the lead, the raw bacon Carpenter had eaten that morning diotui bjng his stomach great ly. lie felt hlmSeli getting weak. The snow drifted in vast clouds and they could nol see their hands before them. sIhey .aL last--stf4lck the -Aesvs4s,t4a d.. b at they did not know it. Nothing could be seen; from m overflow they drank water that to the Lard pushed men tasted like an elixir. In order to deter mine the direction which they were gO- ing they examined the willows that lined the banks. Willows always point down stream and thus they got their course.
