ADMIRAL AND SECRETARY.
CFron New York WorId.)

(ETCIn New I Orh w
 The praise the right man earns by saying the right thing at the right time in the right place and with the right degree of emphasis belongs to Secretary Denby for his comment up on the proposal ito meet the home coming Admiral Sims with a mock and derisive welcome"
 The Admiral is a gallant old sea dog with a fine record who has talked indiscreetly and has been or dered home. Any further rebuke that the occasion demands is in the discretion of the Secretary of the Navy. Meanwhile he is, as Secre- tary Denby says. "an officer of the citizen, and should be able to arrive and land at any port in the United States without insult or humiliation .' The proposed Sim Fein demonstra- ton would be an insult to '<the uni form and to every officer and blue jacket in the American navy
 The police are well advised in planning to prevent demonstrations either of approval or disapproval of Admiral Sims upon his arrival. He is travelling under orders of the Navy department and upon its busi- ness. and hostile interference with him will not be tolerated Unwise admirers who would make a demon stration for him because he told some plain truths should equally be pre- vented from an embarrassing, un- seemly and untimely display.
