scandalous book were, it was
said. sent to Admiral Sampson
and b. him approved.
The talk among naval officers
and various publications caused
Admiral Schley to ask for a
court of inquiry. In his great
closing speech before that court
Senator Rayner said:
1.-The thunders of the Brook
Ign as she trembled on the waves
have been discordant music to
the ears of envious foes, but they
have pierced with a ringing mel
ody the ears of his countrymen
and struck a responsive chord at
the fireside of every American
home. And, what is more than
all, which has been revealed in
this case, as matchless as his
courage and as unsullied as his
honor, is his beautiful character
and the generous spirit that ami
mates his soul and the forgiving
heart that beats within his bos-
ON. i j * With composure, with
resignation with supreme and
unfaitering fortitude, he awaits
the judgment of this illustrious
tribunal, and if that deliverance
comes he can, from the high and
exalted position that he occupies,
look down upon his traducers and
maligners and with exultant
pride eXclaim: Il care not for
the venomous gossip of clubs and
drawing rooms and cliques and
cabals, nor for the poisoned
shafts of envy and malice. l
await, under the guidance of Di-
vine Providence, the verdict of
posterity."
He did not have to await the
verdict of posterity. There is a
sense of fair play and exact JUS
tice in the minds of the Ameri-
can people. and they rendered
the verdict at once and they
never hesitated nor delayed to
pronounce Schley the hero of
Santiago, a true patriot, a just
and generous man and a great
naval commander.
Even in the qualification Sec
rotary Long made in extolling
his conduct at Santiago he has
been abundantly vindicated by a
competent naval commander. A
few days before Schley's death
Admiral Chadwick, who was
Simpsons chief of staff at San
tiago, published a history Of the
battle, in which he declares that
what Long termed Schley's
turn from the enemy" was a
strategical move that defeated
the Spanish plans of escape.
Nor was this vindication need
ed. For the faith of the Ameri-
can people in Admiral Srhley
never Wavered."

Rear Admiral Schley Dead.

Rear Admiral Winfield Scott
Schley fell dead on n street in
New York city Monday after
noon. His sudden death was
caused by cerebral hemorrhage,
which attacked him shortly after
he reached New York. The fol-
low ing article from the Balti-
more Sun is of special interest
when one calls to mind the try
ing ordeal which Admiral
Schley was forced to undergo in
the memorable Sampson-Schley
controversy
The sudden death Of Rear
Admiral Winfield Scott Schley,
which occurred yesterday on a
street in New York city, ended
the long, brilliant and useful
career of a patriot and one of the
many distinguished men who
have shed lustre on the Ameri-
can navy. Maryland has con-
tributed many brave and efficient
officers to the navy, and Schley
ranks with Decatur and Rogers.
His ancestors came to Maryland
from Germany with those sturdy
immigrants who always brought
with them their clergymen and
their school teacher. The foun-
der of the Schley family in Mary
land was George Schley, a school
teacher, who built the first house
in Frederick City and from whom
were descended many illustrious
men.
Admiral Schley was appointed
to the Naval Academy from what
was then the Fifth Congression-
al district of Maryland in 1856,
and he graduated one year before
the beginning of the civil war.
His whole career was filed with
stirring incidents. He served
under FaragUt in the gulf. In
the Asiatic squadron he showed
great bravery in the attack on
Corean forces that had captured
an American ship. In 1884 he
volunteered for the relief of the
Greedy Polar expedition and res
cued Greedy and six survivors on
Cape Sabine. In 1891 he was in
Valparaiso at q critical time and
acquitted himself with credit.
When the Spanish-American War
began in 1893 ne was ut the head
of the Lighthouse Board, but he
lost no time in applying for sea
duty and was assigned to the
command Of the Flying Squadron,
which sailed from Hampton
Roads on the 18th of May in
search of the Spanish fleet. At
the battle Of Santiago Sampson
was absent and Schley was the
ranking officer and as such in
supreme command. His flagship,
the Brooklyn was in the thick of
the fight and received more OF
the Spanish fire than any other
vessel. Admiral Dewey gave it
as his personal opinion that
Schley was in actual command
in the battle. Mr.. Long, the
Secretary of the Navy during
the war and who was a Sampson
partizan, was forced to admit, in
his History of the Navy" that
Schley did his duty on board the
Brooklyn earring his turn from
the enemy and endangering the
Texas at the beginning), his ship
} thereafter rendering magnificent
and most creditablc service in its
splendid fight with the enemy's
ships and in compelling their sur-
render And yet in his report
of the battle Samson did not
mention Schley's name. More
than this, after the war one Nc
{ lay wrote a history Of the navy
in which he accused Schley OF

EXPECT LIVELY TRADING
IN THE NEW BOND ISSUE
Successful Bidders for Pan
anna Canal Securities Nav
Be Known Today.

Announcement may be made late today
OF the investors who bid successfully for
the new per cent s5OOeo,0GO Panama
canal loan.
AS the tabulating has progressed it has
been more apparent that most of the
issue will go to individuals, trustees of
estates, schools and public institutions.
rather than to banks. Treasury officials
feel they have been indicated in their
prediction that there was a public de-
mand for a government guaranteed form
Of investment
Although the Treasury will realize about
sol 100000 from the SALE that will reim-
burse the cash drawer for only about
third of what has been advanced for the
building of the Panama canal. The pro-
ceeds Of this loan. however. will
strengthen the working balance to prob
ably $9O,0OO,0OO, and no immediate issue
OF more bonds seems probable. There are
still $40, 100000 Of the same sort Of bonds
available for issue, according to law.
The government will deliver the bonds
at the direction Of the buyers. AS the
bonds are dated June 1 the coupon form
will be delivered with the first interest
coupon clipped off and a Treasury check
for the proper amount Of interest will be
mailed to the holders.
Country's High Credit.
The average price Of 1Oo.5O bid is
taken to indicate that the credit of the
United States is higher than that of
England, Germany or France. where
government securities are selling at a
discount.
In the thousands of bids received
many irregular ones could not be con-
sidered. One man in Lewisburg, Pa,
bid for the whole issue and inclosed his
note. Treasury officials think they sur
rounded the issue with safeguards
which made "shoestring" bids impos-
sible
The next move In sight in the govern
ment's finances will be the refunding
Of the Spanish war loan, of which sea-
100000 is still outstanding. 1t is due
now and payable until 1918 1t prob
ably will be refunded by another issue
of Panama bonds. but undoubtedly not
within another year.
Lively Trading Expected.
Some lively trading in the bonds is
expected on the New York curb during
the coming week. One estimate is that
$S,OOO,OO0 of the securities were sold
in the last month, for delivery when
issued, some at prices higher than 103.
With the addition of this ffty-millon-
dollar issue the bonded Indebtedness of
the United States is increased to $685.
COO 600. OF that S731 100000 draws in

per cent and s11S,GOO0O0 at per cent.
Most Of these bonds, with the exception
of this newest issue, are held by ma
tional banks and are used IS the basis
of note circulation.
Banks may use the new bonds as Sc
curity for public deposits. There is a
limited demand for them for that pur-
pose.

ANGRY SEAL SINKS Teeth
IN AN ATTENDANTS LEG
Hungry Animal, Failing to Secure
Portion of Food Distributed,
Leaps From Pool:

PHILADELPHIA. June 13.-To the
alarm Of hundreds of Sunday pleasure
seekers who were gathered in the Zoo
logical gardens, 35th street and Girard
avenue, yesterday afternoon. a large fe
male seal leaped on a rock in the middle
of a pool in the gardens and sinking her
teeth in the leg Of an attendant. who had
been feeding the animals, inflicted several
painful wounds before the man could es-
cape.
The employee. Albert Hackner. who lives
near Drurytown. carrying a bucket of
fish, as is his custom. climbed on a pile
of rock in the pool about o'clock and
began feeding the seals. The beasts
eagerly snatched at the proffered food
to the enjoyment Of a large crowd that
had gathered to watch the performance.
Angered by Hunger.
Finally when the bucket was emptied.
the man turned to leave the rock. AS
he was doing so the female seal APP
parently angered at having secured no
fish, bounded on the pile and tearing
portion of Hackner's trouser leg. inflicted
wound with her sharp tusks. He
screamed with pain and Juggling vigor-
ously managed to escape the angry ami
mails grasp. Two other attendants ran
to his aid and quickly bound up the in
jured limb. The vicious seal was then
driven back into the water, while those
on the outskirts of the throng pressed
forward TO find out what had happened.
When Ii was learned that Hackner had
escaped without severe injury. they dis
banded.
