MACLAY WAS FIRED
SAMPSON SCHLEY CONTROVERSY
KEEPS UP.
More Likely Than Ever Now That
Congress VIII Have to Take The
Matter Up.

NEW YORK, December pa special
to the World from Washington says
The opinion is strong today that in
stead of closing the Sampson Schley
controversy, the proceedings of yester-
day will only serve to add fuel to the
fire. Schley's friends are determined
to continue the fight for VindicatOn
with greater vigOr than ever. The
friends of General Miles and of Adj
miral Dewey have been aroused by the
censure of the former and the implied
rebuke to the latter. Deweys friends
cannot readily reconcile the light man
ner in which the Navy Department
brushed his work aside.
Admiral Deweys friends are in a
spirit of resentfulness and now more
deeply sympathize with Schley in his
trouble with the department Those
who feel aggreivcd over the treatment
Admiral Dewey received at the hands
of the department will now be disposed
to jump into the breach i'm Congress
and aid Schley, whereas they might
have remained quiet
Edgar ! anton Maclay, author of the
History of the ynuited States Navy
and as such the originator of the Schley
Sampson controversy, now practically
hurls defiance at President Roosevelt,
who, i'm assumption of arbitrary power
he likens to the Car of Russia. The
historian declares he viii resist re-
mOval. Furthermore, he maintains that
in commanding peremptOrily his dis
missal without hearing or without
charges Roosevelt violates the very
spirit as well as the letter Of the civil
service laws, of which he has always
stood a champion.
This defiance Maclay uttered this
/ evening" IF" said Maclay, President
Roosevelt can point to humble subOr-
dlnate on the civil service lists, and,
without his having a hearing or any
charges having been preferred against
him, say Discharge that man. and
have him discharged, then / say he is
as -dd as the Gar of Russia. :"

The question of salvage due the

not. as yet been settled. In fact, the
Fearless people have not presented any
claim for salvage Captain Brokow
says there is no need To- hurry about
1t and as neither Captain Fuller the
harbor master, nor, any of the public
works department officials are apt to
go chasing after BrokOw To force sail

saving the old government t.. it will
probably be up to the master of the
Fearless to begin action.
As matter Of fact, neither the EIeu
people nor the government officials see
exactly where Brokow's claim for sal
wage comes in. They fail to see where
the Eleu was saved" by her rival.
Brokow claims that the Eleu was in
distress. She was helpless he main
tains because the towing hawser had
gotten tangled in her propeller and she
was unable, either to tow the schooner
Susie NJ. Plummer into the harbor or
move herself. In proof of this claim.
ne points TO tho fact that the tug was
holding onto the stern Of the schooner
and, moreover, had the tug not held on.
she could not have navigated as she
had no masts on which she could hoist
sails; the tug was signalling for help
and when BrOkOW heard of the trouble
he went out to her and tOwed her into
the harbOr. In view of these facts. he
thinks that the vessel was in distress
exactly as If she had been aground.
On the other hand, the Eleu people
fail to be impressed with this claim of
their being in distress. 1t is said by
these connected with the Eleu, that so
far as being in distress is concerned
she was perfectly able to take care Of
herself. She mad two anchors and
about $50 fathOms Of hawser and 40
fathOms Of chain. Had it been consid-
cred necessary, she could have put
down both anchors and laid outside
overnight the same as any other craft
could have done. The schooner Susie
NJ. Plummer dropped her anchors when
she found that the tug could not tow
her inside the harbor. The Eleu could
her people claim, have waited outside
too, but her captain preferred going
in shore to remaining outside over
night.
That the damage to the propeller was
not serious is evident, the Eleu people
assert from the fact that the hawser
was untangled by her crew the next
morning. This work could have been
done just the same outside the harbOr
they maintain consequently the vessel
was not i'm distress at all and was not
rescued" in any sense of the word.
If these claims prove correct it will
be interesting to learn on just what
BrOkow will base his claim for salvage
for rescuing a boat that did not need
"rescuing."

CIRCUMLOCUTION.

Secretary Longs CiTCumloCution in
describing the extent Of our recent ma
tional expansion, in his discussion Of
the increase of the navy i'm his annual
report, is rather amusing. Have we
expanded over Cuba? If we have not
expanded over cuba as a whole, have
we expanded over Cuba in part? Is
cuba really independents Is Cuba
ever to be really Independent? In the
matter of Cuba these questions must
be answered without Earring official
fctiOns or, at the same time, ignoring
palpable facts. So Mr., Long, who is a
master of prose, proceeds to say: The
navy today is a far greater factor in
our relations with the world than IL
was before the recent national eXuan-
sion, which now includes Porto Rico

mere mechanical copyist could follow
his manuscript.
1t must be remembered. also. that.
while the sixty novels might have
appeared during one year, this is no
evidence that they were all written
within that period. There is so much
distinctive quality in the major por-
lion Of Dumas work that the con-
ciusion that it is the product of ole
nan seems inevitable.
Was Dumas plasiarist? As a
dramatic author, yes; in the sense
that Shakespeare and Sheridan were
paagiarists. Toward the latter por-
ton Of his life. yes, again: but this
time in very different sense, for
Damas was no longer Dumas.
Like many men gifted with alb
normal imaginative faculty, his pow
ers failed him almost utterly in his
declining years. And his money had
fe,l with his genius. He had only his
name left. and that could still bring
gold in the literary market. And so
this name, that was a talisman all
over the world, was affixed to pro-
duetions by anybody and everybody.

Ill Health in Summer.

There are many people who find
themselves affected by the heat os
summer to the extent of having
attacks of indigestion on very
slight provocation. Possibly one
reason for this is irregllarity of
eating. especially in the case of
children.
In winter, most folk confne
themselves with reasonable re.lt-
larity to three meals day. and,
if an additional nibble is lndlilged
in, the system is able to dispose
of it without any trouble, bccause
the blood is circulating .igorous-
ly, and mental and bodily activ-
ity is at its height. In short. dur
ing the chilly months the appetite
is usually good, and ii ought to
be.
When the first hot weather
comes upon us, however, the i'm
mediate result is sluygishneSs and
exhaustion, and often loss of ap-
petite. In spite of this. however,
the misguided ones eat their three
meals a day without much change
in the bill of fare. Then they
wonder why they have indigestion.

Was Dumas an inveterate plagiar-
ist Such is the consideration cccu-
pying the critics, now that there is
a revival of interest in the personal
ity of the author of "Monte Cristo"
and THE Three Guardsmen."
The following appears to be the
MAN argument in support of The
proposition that Dumas did not write
a very considerable portion Of the
books that are published under his
name: 1t is known that during one
year he produced sixty novels, the
mere physical labor of writing which
would. it was calculated, keep an ex-
pert eopyist busy for that period
from morning till night, twelve hours
a day, to produce the number of writ

astounding imaginative power that he
could write practically an entire play

feat on one occasion before witnesses
