After the war Admiral Schley was pro
NOTED, and for a time was in command
of the South Atlantic squadron, and as
such was received everywhere as Il ma
uOnal hero. Rewards came to him
bounteously. and the things which
should accompany work well done" After
forty-five years Of active service he was
retired by the age limitation, though he
is still an active, alert. and enthusiastic
officer on whom the years sit lightly.
Surrounded by his family, he lives now
in comfort. blessed with many friends
and happy in the career of his stalwart
sons, at 1926 I street, and the memoirs of
"the days that were" are thick upon him.
Forty-five years of a sailors life, and as
he says:
Throughout il all there has been one
watchword, one loadstar. one purpose
duty; whether In the greatest of wars,
the civil war; OF in the frozen fields Of
ice and snow of the Polar Ocean, or amid
the exposures to pestilentiaI fevers Of the
starlit tropics; whether amid the threat
enings of riOtous crowds on the taF-oh
Pacific waters, defending the good name
of his men, or on the heights OF hans-
HOa, in the far away Orient. side oy Sue
with others, avenging the wrongs OF ms
cOuntrymen; whether in the day OF pat
tie on the bridge of his flagship anna
dangers that come 70 only rev men, or
in the storm OF vituperation so uhneces-
sary afterward-thank God there has been
no thought of self, no fear OF eonse-
quences. no selfish desire to claim honorS
in which others were believed to share.
And the word he spoke al santiago
when the thunder of the Spanish guns was
still echoing in his ears IS the mai WORD
he has TO say to-day: i am glad that
had an opportunity TO contribute in the
least to victory that seems big enough
for ali of us!'
The Washington herald., 1906-12-30

Then came a year Of service in Central
and South America, after which he had a
period as instructor at the Naval Acad-
envy, which he gladly left to rejoin Far
ragut. They took a cruise to France.
The French court was in mourning
then for the unfortunate Macmillan. -
says Admiral Schley, but the French re-
ceived US very kindly, and it was at this
time that had the pleasure of seeing the
beautiful Empress OF the French. She
was then in the zenith of her beauty.
She was the soul of courtesy to all whom
she met. but her eyes had q dreamy,

the largest business said that the calls

Government bonds unchanged; other

PURE FOOD BILL
SADLY WEAKENED

The pure food bill was reported out OF
conference 10 the Senate last evening
and on investigation il developed that
the basis of agreement had been the
House bill with sections g. TO- and u
stricken out. These are the sections
which provide fo- the establishment OF
Government standards in food products
and drugs. and for the creation OF a
board of chemical experts TO establish
the standard and to determine. by refer
ence 20 these standards. whether given
articles meet the requirements OF the
law.
1t is generally assumed BY the more
advanced friends of food legislation that
these provisions are essential to making

ANOTHER REPORT
ON THE RATE BILL

The rate bill conferees have once more
agreed. but not unanimously, on a re-
port of their measure. Senator 'Tillman
still finds himself unable to agree with
his colleagues, and withholds his sigma
ture from the document. The report is
substantially Identical with the precesi-
ing one, which came from the same
conferees. as TO the commodity and pipe
line provision, and leaves the pipe line
outside the prohibition against carriers
transporting their own commodities. the
effect of which is TO leave the IS q -
brand where Senator Tillman placed il
in his remarks on the last Conferences
report.
