Washington, July, 22, 1001. Secretary Long made short work of the nbsurd story that ho saw uml approved tho proofs of that portion of tho volume of Mocluy's History of the navy, which refers to Hear Admiral Hchlcy ns n cow ard, by ordering Comnmnder Wnlnwrlght,Suporlnlendnntof the Naval Academy, to strike tho vol ume from the Hot of text hooks us ed. In addition, tho Secretary mude public n statement In which hosnld: "I know nothing of Ma lny's Inteinpenito nbusc of Admir al Schley, and It Is nbsurd to sny that 1 would endorse his language when ho calls Admiral Schley a coward. Admiral Schley Is no coward. No ouo In tho service who knows him has ever for n moment doubted his bravery or his gnllnti try In action." Of tho publication alleging tho navy department to be opposed to n congressional In vestigation of Admiral Schley's conduct in tho West Indian Cam pain, Secretary Long said: "It Is unjust to tho department to say that It will oppose any Invcstlgn tlon of Admiral Schley's conduct In tho Wost Indian campaign. As a matter of fact, I wroton lerler to Senator Hale, Chairman of tho Naval Affairs Committee of tho Senate, during tho last session of congress. In which I nsked him to have made no wiser selection." havu an Investigation f this entire bampson-heiiioy mauer uy n com-1 'riilrcl Assistant Postmaster (len mlttco of Senators, or n Joint com- orn, M(1,lon followed up Postinns mlteo of both houses." j ((;r (i,.n,,rnI Smith's orders for such execution of tho law as will shut Gov.

It Is the public which suffers, and It Is tho which will therefore havototnke the Hinder In hand.

Such conditions breed tilth and disease; mid diseased meat is not safe for anybody to oat. It will probably never bo possible to as certain the number of deaths which have resulted from tho eat ing of Impure meat, and for every dentil from this cause there nro many victims of disease. Some times tho ailment is iiislduous, but It Is nctcrthclcss there. Sometime ago there was u scare about trichinae which re sulted In ninny people becoming Jews or Mohammedans where pork was concerned, but much of the beef which comes from cattle trains where tho animals are packed together In lllth, discom fort nnd thirst Is not n bit more lit for human consumption than mensley pork. In these days no mnn can tell where his butcher gets the meat which Is cnnlhllng ly bought and eaten by his custo mers. It may be good or It may not. It Is time that the treatment of cattle on trains of transporta tion and In sheds, during the time before they are killed, should bo regulated by law, and that every one concerned In their trnnspostn llnd on Outlet (or Their Slot Machines. It Is a long lanu that hns no turning nnd Kniion City cigar store men have obtained n modi cum or relief for the loss of their penny slot machines.

"Mow does the proclamation help the cigar men?" "Wo paid from SM2.W) to r for slot machines,'' said Seymore, "and tho new state law ordered them sent to tho June pile. The grafters in Oklahoma saw ii good thing in tlio thousands going their to graft nnd sent up here. TJmy limn bought all tho visible supply.' II worked like a charm." Ineldently the operation of the slot machine law has been hard on cigar stands. A great number of the smaller ones, particular ly In tho resident district, have been obliged to close up, imd sonio change In the drug trade havu been attributed to the loss of revenue previously brought by the machines.
