the whole, she did wen: but agree
with the unanimous finding Of the three
admirals who composed the court Of
inquiry. as to 1.-THE loop It seriously
married the Brooklyn's otherwise ex-
cellent record, being, in fact, the one
grave mistake made by any American
ship on that day. But after the loop
had once been taken Admiral Schley
handled the Brooklyn manfully and
well. There was nothing done in the
battle that warranted any unusual re-
ward for either Sampson or Schley.
In short, as regards Admirals Samp-
son and Schley, I find that President
Mckinley did substantial justice, and
that there would he no warrant for re-
versing his action.
Both Admiral Sampson and Admiral
Schley are now on the retired list. In
concluding their report the members of
the court of inquiry, Admirals Dewey,
Benham and Ramsay, unite in stating
that they recommend that no further
action be had in the matter. With this
recommendation most heartily con-
cur. There is no excuse whatever from
either side for any further agitation of
this unhappy controversy. To keep it
alive would merely do damage to the
navy and to the country.

CAUSES BIG STIR.
Attorney Gsnsral Knox. Deci

Attorney General Knox's Decision
to Fight the Merger. 5s5
New York, Feb. 22.-The announce
ment by the attorney general Of the
United States that he believed the
Norther IN Securities company infringed
the antitrust law and that he would
file bill in equity in the supreme
court, in accordance with instructions
from the president, to test the ques-
ton, oversha lowed all other considera-
tons in the stock market yesterday.
The acute interest manifested In this
company by all SPECTATORS, and, in
deco, all holders of securities was Wv
idly demonstrated by the effect in the
stock market and was the more notable
since Great Northern preferred is the
only stock remaining listed on the ex-
change which is directly included in
the securities company. Yet the whole
market fell away sharply under heavy
liquidation, with only few unimpor
tant exceptions. The stocks of the
trs ns-continental companies were nat
urally most affected, as the formations
of the Northern Securities company
represented an effort to harmonic con-
f1icting interests in that field. Great
Northern preferred lost 614, North
western 7S-4. Rock Island 51-S, St.
Paul $685. Union Pacific 31-4 and
Southern Pacific 27-S Elsewhere in
the list losses generally ran from to
8 points. and considerably over that
in many exceptional cases. On the
curb Northern Securities when issued
Dropped Over Three Points.
The direct concern of such various
ly assorted lot of securities in the, well
fare of the Northern Securities COM
pany is not very obvious, but the av-
erage speculator in stocks, especially
the professional trader, is deeply i'm
bued with the conviction that all his
woes are the outgrowth Of the conflict
for Northern Pacific control last year
and that it is only necessary for the re-
adjustment to be made Of the situa-
ton precipitated at that time for the
stock market to resume all the buoy
ancy and speculative furore that was
Interrupted by the May panic. For
some time there has been a deep
rooted conviction among the specula-
tors that the supreme court would
threw out of court Minnesota's suit
against the legality of the Northern Sc
curities company. There has been an
assumption also, which was carefully
fostered in the interest of revival of
speculation. that the public opposition
to financial combinations was more
apparent than real and that a demon
stratior. of the public utility of these
combinations would secure them
against interference even where tech
nically open to construction of illegal
ity. Yesterday mornings announce
ment from Washington was. therefore,
a rude shock to all of these optimistic
sentiments that has been carefully
nurtured in the financial district.
