passage from his dispatch OF July 10,

Washington. Jan. sl.-The comment"
OF Judge Advocate General Lemly and So
licitor Hanna upon the appeal OF Admiral
schlsy. as submitted 10 the president by
Secretary Long. Is less than a third ss
long as the appeal itself,a fact accounted
for by the comparatively few quotations
from the courts testimony In the case OF
the comment"
The commentators begin with the state
ment that Admiral Schley and his counsel
have shifted their ground They shy
the chief features OF the case were 1.-The
retrograde movement" ''disobsdiencs OF
orders" Inaccurate and misleading of
fetal reports. failure to destroy vessels
OF the enemy lying within sight" and lin
justice 10 brother officer"
These matters are all grave. The first
was that the nneet aggregation OF
American naval vessels under one com
insnd, was by Schleys direction, turned
than zoo miles distant when within %
miles OF Santiago. where the enemy's
ships were.
The second was that schley deliberately
and knowingly. disobeyed the sscretary's
orders, overtakins him I'm his retrograde
movement The third was that Schley's
reason. officially given. for the retro
grade movement and disobedience OF or
ders. i.e.: THAT the nying squadron was
short OF coal" was not true.
The fourth was that for three days
some of the Spanish ships lay within
reach of the hyins squadron. and no suf-
hcient effort was made to destory them.
The NTH involves the point of honor.
scHLEY CONDEMNED.
The commentators say:
Upon all the above named features
believed by us To be the most important.
II not the only really important mat
ters into which the court made inquiry.
the conduct of Admiral schlev was con-
demned by the most distinguished tribun-
al. Admiral Dewey and Rear Armirals
Benham and Ramsay united IN their 1nd-
inRs and opinion upon all OF these sew
eral points and they united also In the
significant recommendation that no fur
ther proceedings be had in view OF the
length of time which has elapsed since
the occurrence OF the events of the San
tiago compsisn,'
The commentators charge that Admiral
Schley now ignores all these grave mat
ters and bssee HIS appeal upon unimport-
ant features of the case as compared
with the grave matters above referred 10.
upon which there was not. and IN the
face of the testimony. could not have
been any difference of opinion in the
court"
The commentators ssv they recognize
the fact that Admiral Schley devoted by
far the larger part OF his appeal 10 the
question of command and consequently
give that question = rroportionate space
IN their comment. They declare that the
question IL between Sampson and Schley
both alike interested, and 10 investigate
n fairly both should he heard.
Such incidental testimony OIL this point
as came before the court was on Schlev's
side only and the doors were entirely
closed 10 sampson They add:

OPIUM GATHERING.
A Revolution I'm tho Manner Of
Packing Tt--.Jurs being
Di.co rded.

There Ia q revolution In opium peck
ing In India which 1t is calculated will
save the growers Sa.oo0,oc0 year.
Formerly, on taking the opium from
the cultivators. IL used 10 be placed In
cart henware lars, and these jars were
packed with straw into wicker baskets
This nntiQuated method will, however.
be seen no more. for the jar system Is
being replaced by packing the opium
In cloth and Runny bags. II has un-
dergope preliminary test of two years
In one subagency und is now being
given a crucial test by being tried
side by side with the plan, half the
opium OF this season being packed In
Jars and half in bugs. There is little
doubt. however, as to the final opinion.
The advantages are obvious: First,
no breaknges can occur and there Is
much less lost by the amount OF opium
sticking or adhering 10 the sides. IN
the latter case IL is estimated that one
pound per jar is saved, while about five
per cent. is lost In breaknges, or about
four pounds pcr Jar. There is, there
fore, saving OF about five pounds per
Jar and us each subagency sends about
10000 jars the saving amounts to l50,-
900 pounds. A chest OF opium weigh
ing 1928 pounds sells for 1000 rupees
at least. so that the saving in one sub
agency alone comes to 1.200, 900 rupees,
which at the present rite OF exchange
may be taken TO be equal to 100000.
There are five subogencies in Bengal,
nnd probably the same number in the
northwestern PROVINCES, which gives
n total OF $4,0D0.00O. to which II is
added the saving in freight, owing to
the bags being loaded in several lay
ers in n railway truck, instead of only
one layer Of jars, we ges nearly S.
000, 600.
The refreshment stalls for the hum
dreds of cultivators who bring in their
produce are interesting. Their simple
wants nre easily satisfied. and the great
er part of the refreshment provided
consists of mixture Of parched barley
and grain ground TO powder, mixed
with little coarse sugar. These small
farmers live on very little and make
a great deal OF money ON their opium.
