long MAKES ANSWER
Secretary Long Makes Answer to Cri-
ticisms Of Navy Department that
Have Been Passed.
Declares Charge of Discrimination il
Favor Of Admiral Sampson is
Unfounded.
Amounts Were Fixed by the Court Of
Claims Under the Laws Gov
erning Such Awards. ID

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.
s The secretary declares the criticism
that the department has Disseminated
in favor of Admiral Sampson and
against Admiral Schley in the distribu-
hon of prize money and bounty is un-
just because the departm ent 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
retary 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
Elent preferred to place the matter in
the court of claims and so far from
displaying favoritism, adopted the
most effective means in its power to
secure 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 III. .,..s.,s.s.s. ......,,.
d No Appeal Was Taken. (
He further points out that, under the
prize laws, the command der-in-c Of
the: fleet 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:
GAS command der-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 departm ment is in no wise, respon-
sible." VI.
On this point the secretary says the
department itself was the first to real
ize the inequalitie &of this law and to
make the srecomme which led
DO its repeal, 80 that a srather 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-
cluded his letter with an extract from
the report of the auditor of the treas
ury for, the navy department, showing
the status of the prize money and
bounty cases, yet unsettled, owing to
delays in the courts, and predicting a
settlement within the year.

End of a Remarkable County Seat War
~ in Nebraska.

~ In Nebraska.
Creighton, Neb., Jan. TN it's rul-
ing that county officials of Knox coun-
ty must move their offices to the farm
of William Wishendoff, 12 miles from
the nearest town, the supreme court
of Nebraska has ended the most re-
markable county seat fight in the en-
tire West, a fight which has been per-
sistently waged for more than 20 years
and has cost the taxpayers $4,000.
E. Accordingly on April 1, the date fix
ed by the supreme court, a remarkable
exodus will take place. Business men
of Niobrara, where the county seat of
Knox county has been maintained
since the beginning of history of Ne
braska, and Verdigris and Creighton,
IL miles away from Wishendoff's farm
and which last named. two towns will
supply the largest part Of the popula-
tion of the new county seat, are al
ready preparing for this wholesale re-
moval. , -.... ..-.... TO-.
Many of the owners of buildings will
follow the example of the three towns
in Charles Mix county, across the Mis-
souri, in South Dakota, where horses
were hitched to the buildings and the
entire towns moved bodily from old
to new sites.
The new county seat of Knox county
will be called Center. Today there is
nothing to be seen on the site but the
farmhouse and outbuildings of the
Wishendoff farm. The change from
Niohrara is made because the place is
on the border of the county and be-
cause the voters desired to locate the
county seat in the geographical center
of the county E."

4 DANGEROUS COMBINATION.

An indiscrete d.r!omat and a talka-
tive wife. These are the forces that
are threatening 20 play havoc with our
friendly relations with the depublic of
Cuba. General E. S. Bragg, of Wis
consin, is our consul general at Ha-
Ivana. The general has a wife who has
remained in America, and he, as all
good husbands should do, writes fire.
|quently to her; but, instead of confin-
ing himself in these letters to personal
and family affairs and innocent gossip,
he has let his pen run into political
and official affairs, ard the good lady
has not had sufficient discretion to keep
out the news to the neighbors, and SO
has gotten her good lord and master
into trouble with the state department
and the Cuban.
1t seems that the consul general has
been reported as writing to his wife
that Uncle Sam might as we'll try to
make a whistle cut of a pigs tail as
to try to make something out Of the
Latin race" The CTbans have raised
such a row over the matter that Sec
retary Hay has pcen forced to ask our
consul general fer an explanation.
General Bragg makes prompt denial of
having used the language charged to
him and alleges that all he wrote was
that when Uucle Sam got through
trying to make a whistle out of a pigs
tail he would report whether he could
make an AngloSaxon out Of a Cuban. ."

satisfied we suppose the state depart
ment will be also: the American peo-

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

The nomination OF E. B. Jones for su-
perior court judge by the democratic
convention of the Eleventh district,
which was held in Winston last Mon
day brings to mind the peculiar cir
cumstances under which Judge Dick
secured the judgeship in those days
when the judges and solicitors were
elected by the legislature. Mr.. Jones,
it will be remembered. was a candidate
for solicitor in rhe Eleventh district,
but was nominated for judge. Is is
said some of his opponents for the
former position, engineered the scheme
OF get him out of the way.
Judge Dicks exrerience was similar,
with the exceptions that it was an cleo
ton instead Of a nomination. and there
was no scheming by his opponents for
this office His election was a great
surprise to him as well as to every one
else Judges Nash and Ruffin were the
opposing candidates for the judgeship.
Dick went down to Raleigh when the
legislature met. to look after his cleo
ton for solicitor. Nash and Ruffin re-
naming at their homes in Hillsboro.
The day after the election Dick passed
through Hillsboro on his way home.
Ruffin met him. and being anxious for
news of the result, asked who was
elected judge-himself or Nash. Dicks
answer was: Il have been elected
Judge" Ruffin replied that Dick might
think that a good joke, but it was no
joking matter with himself; he wanted
to know whether The legislature had

successful opponent of the truth of his

PEOPLE WHO MOVE THEIR CITI-
ZENSHIP.

Mr.. Harry Lehr is a member or the
society Of high flyers Of New York. He
has been to Wilmington once or twice,
we believe, and has some acquaintances
here. These and the American people
generally will be surprised, and greatly
grieved, perhaps, to hear that he has
threatened to remove his citizenship
from the United States and henceforth
become citizen of some country across
the waters. For the sake of Mr.. Lehr' s
friends in Wilmington and elsewhere
we hope that if he carries out his threat
of change of national citizenship it will
be no more real and that he will not
deprive them of his company for any
greater length of time than did certain
Of southeastern North Carolina. who,
taking the same course as to state citi-
zenship, absented themselves from the
bosom of their friends and the locality
of their business investments after the
passage of the last revenue act by the
state legislature.
Mr.. Lehr threatens his friends and the
American people generally with this
direful calamity because the newspa-
pers continue to ridicule his having
given banquet to a monkey.
OF course if Mr.. Lehr carries out his
threat this monkey will be the chief
loser, for we do not suppose he will
ever have another opportunity to be the
guest of honor at a swell dinner.
In the case of those above referred to
who have changed their state citizen
ship the only ones to suffer are the
people who retain their citizenship in
town and state and by paying taxes on
their polls and property defray the ex-
penses of town and state governments,
including protection to life and property
of those who, while citizens of local
tiles where tax paying is avoided, are
yet residents of our state and enjoy the
privileges and protection secured by
the honest payment of taxes by those
who have here both citizenship and res
idence.

ION account OF the insufficiency Of
TIE revenues to carry out the will of
the people with respect to these three
great objects, the precent administra-
ton has been compelled to borrow two
hundred thousand dollars. While the
necessity for this loan Is TO be re-
gretted, this money was borrowed to
carry out the emphatic mandate OF the
people with reference to the schools
and the aslyums, and every dollar Of 1t
has been spent for the schools and the
asylums This is not the first time
there has been a deficit Of revenues to
meet appropriations in North Carolina.
The fusionists, when in power, al
though they made TO extra appropria-
tions for common schools and the
asylums, had also TO deal with a deficit.
not a deficit of two hundred thousand
dollars, but Of two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. To meet this deficit
they sold one hundred and forty thous-
and dollars of North Carolina bonds,
which the economy of democratic adj
ministrations had accumulated in the
treasury as a sinking fund TO pay the
public debt, and used the proceeds
from the sales of these bonds 10 pay
current expenses.
When they turned the legislative de-

thousand dollars more bonds to pay
