Admiral SchEey Introduced ON the
Floor. by Gen. Gordon.
Admiral Schley was a guest of hon
or at the Savannah Cotton Exchange
yesterday. He was introduced by Gen.
w. w. Gordon, who presented him to
such meRnbers as were present on the
floor The admiral entered the ex-
change at 1 o'clock and remained for
about half ar hour.
Those who met and chatted with him
were greatly pleased with his manner.
He has cordial hearty way of greet
ing one that is effective, and all Savan-
nahians who have been presented have
liked him instinctively. Had there been
any among the members of the eX-
change whom he met who We're not his
friends, they would speedily have be-
come so through the magnetism of his
manner and his charming personality.
While on the Bay the admiral wrote
three kilograms, one of which will be
of especial interest to all who heard
Madame Nordica at the Theater last
Friday night and in the sentiment of
which all will concur. The admiral
read in the Morning News of the wreck
near Rome in which the diva was in
jured, and the following was the tele-
gram he dispatched to her at Nash
Vile
1--WE are so glad you escaped serious
injury and rejoice, as every admirer
does, that you are safe"
Another telegram was to MIR. Richard
Michaelis, editor of the Stats Zeitung
of Chicago, which was as follows:
Accept with pleasure German socie-
ties kind invitation for January 28, un-
til p. IN. Must depart by early even
ing train to fulfill engagements Louis
willie 29th."
The third telegram was to Eminent
Commander II. j. Hunter of Holder
man Commandery, Columbus, regret
ting that engagement already made
prevented his acceptance of the Com
manderys invitation to visit 1t in Co
lumbus.
"Schley and Santiago" the book by
George l.. Graham that is in press in
Chicago, was discussed by many Sa-
vannahians yesterday. They had read
the Associated Press account that ap-
peared in the Morning News. This ac-
count, friend of Admiral Schley said,
did him injustice in that IL set forth
that the Admiral had read and correct
ed the proofs and given the book his
unqualified Endorsement. This. the
friend said. was unfair to the Admiral.
AZ it left him in a position dually un-
pleasant. He was shown as accepting
and indorsing the authors compliments
and his criticisms of others. Az a mat
ter of fact, the friend said, the Admiral
had simply indorsed the book in so far
as its recital of events extended. the
author taking all the rest upon himself.
The admiral was seen by a news
paper man about the story. He re-
ferred to Mr. Graham. with hom he is
very friendly. as Eddie saying that
he had looked over the proofs of his
book and had attested to the correct
ness OF the facts IL sets forth. MIR.
Graham, he said, desired to embOdy
the complimentary references 10 the
admiral and the criticisms OF other OIL
GERS, and with those features the ad-
miral had nothing 10 do.
