Maclay Cuts Out the Venom.

April 25.-In a revision of the third volume
of his History Of the United States Navy
Edgar Maclay, whose violent criticism of Rear
Admiral Schley caused the latter to ask for a
court of inquiry, has elimtnated much of the
bitterness that characterized his original ac-
count Of the operations of the flying squadron.
The passage which caused the greatest
amount of comment on the appearance of the
first edution is omitted entirely from his sec
ond edition. Mr. Maclay has also omitted
from his second edition the scathing com
ments made in his first edition on the Brook
lyn's famous "loop."
The Mayor Is Peggfng Away.
Mayor Low does not seem to be discon-
certed by the present criticism of his adj.
ministration, but is pegging away at the
difficult work before him, in determination. to
accomplish all set before him even If it takes
all summer and all winter. 4 remember
he said in his speech yesterday, asking Mr..
Roosevelt once when he was police COM
missioner of this city and his name was much
in the papers as an object of criticism
whether he was going to take vacation.
Vacation he said, do you Think for a mo-
ment that would leave the city when am
having such a good timer If one city de-
partment can fill our president with a senti-
ment like that, you can understand how little
apt the mayor is, with all of the city de-
partments on his hands, to take a vacation"
Wall Street Boiled.
To John w Gates Wall street owes boom
in stocks. While he dominated the market
for only a brief period, and quickly passed
over the responsibilities he had assumed to a
stronger and greater man than he, yet his
sensational deal in Louisville had such a
wide advertisement that it did what all the
professional manipulation of months failed
to accomplish, namely it brought in the
public. The glamor Of such an achievement,
the story of 100000 won in a few days. ex-
cited the speculative propensities of the peo-
pie, and from all over the country, by wire
and by letter, orders to buy came into Wall
street. The consequence was repetition OF
some Of the scenes Of April; 1901. The specu-
ilative pot over the raging fire Of the stock
exchange fairly boiled over.
Internal Lying Based on Truth.
Modern yellow journalism is "a wonder to
behold. "A day or two ago one of our princi-
pal sensational newspapers printed half
column .tsoread" about a fire dn the assay
Office. It was most interesting story. and,
no doubt, pleased "a multitude of readers. 1t
| had every merit a news story should possess
except truth The only fact in it was that
81 there had been fire in the assay Office. All
the rest was fiction. There wasn't single
detail correct, norphid there been any attempt
to get the facts right. The only object had
been to make good copy" In that the re-

sunk by a Bull Whale
Eight fororn sailormen from the Inflated
little New Bedford whaler Kathleen reached
this port TO-DAY. They told the wonderful
story OF the sinking Of the 195-ton Kathleen,
after fifty elght years OF sea service, by the
crazy plunge OF nlGnstrous bull whale. To
the eastward of the Windward islands. a
school eli whales was sighted. CAPTAIN jen-
kins sent away the four whaleboats at once
