April . - During last per week there was considerable talk in naval ceil circles about the responsibility for the coa recent disaster at Samoa. A number of the the most pronounced disciplinarians of sidi ' the service are not slow to condemn the s a the aetion of Admiral Kimberly in allowing pad stag the vessels to be caught in such a storm pon without using some precautionary meas- T gt ures. This was the season of the year wre fib. when hurricanes and tidal waves might not be looked for, and the sailing directions and plainly state this. Many officers think, of 4 and especially since the story of the es- ing a Ia cape of the British steamer Calliope, that ml there is saure to be an investigation by a I was court of inquiry. The loss of life and yea 000. ships will have to be inquired into. If tim dosS there was coal enough to get up steam on lay tthe ships, It was, they say, Admiral Kim It berly's duty to have fired up and ran out adi of the month of the harbor, as the com- doe mander of the Calliope did. and then ride sta ate out the gale. If it is found there was no Sat the coal, then the cause of this state of af- ku safairs should be inquired into. and the re- sn riang sponsIbility fixed where it belongs. and thu THE DEAD JURIST. b seelogies Delivered o th rs LateAsseate bel tett ae anIe Nathews by the se- mil plems oeart ar. an Wasasusltoi, April 7.-The United toa fa- States aSupreme Court bar held a meeting lo srg, yesterday in memory of the late Justice ne: the Matthews.
