WASHINGTON. January zs—The
Navy Department has made public Ad-
miral Scidey's appeal. delivered to the »
president about a week off). The de-
partment’s “comment” wi i he publish
ed in a day or two. . ~
Admiral Schley appeals to the pres-
ident as the chief executive seducin-
mander-in-chlef of the army and navy,
“vested with power. to regulate and
direct the sets of the several executive
ofllccrs thereof."and be asked that the
president review the findings of the
court. He asked this on three grounds
in each case basing his appeal on the
findings of Admiral Dewey as opposed
to the majority reports These three
grounds are set out compehdlously in
the "petition." which illls about eight
printed pages of a pamphlet, and is
signed by Admiral Schley and by
Messrs. Rayner. Parker and Teague. of
his counsel. Attached talthe position
are three exhibits. "A." ‘33" and "0."
each made up of copious extracts from
the testimony taken by the court of in.
quiry. and. labeling! to confirm the
statfimcnts of fact ads in the petition
itse . ‘ .
In this latter document. the flrst
ground of appeal is the holding of Sec-
retary‘Long, in his indorssmest of the
court's findings that the conduct of the
mart in making no finding. and'ren-
ieriug no opinion in those attentions
(that of command of credit for the vic-
tory) is approvedwindeed it could, with
propriety, take, no other course. evi.
deuce on this questiondurlnfltbe in-
quiry having been excluded by the
court." . On this : point the petition
says that secretarybf the Navy was in
error lactating-that the court excluded J R
testimony to show that. as Dewey said
Schiey was the senior officer in the
battle of Santiago; was in absolute
command; guild entitled to the credit
. due for the glorious victory which re
suited in the total destruction of the
Spanish ships. On this point the peti~
lion says: ,

vlted by Elliot Joncspsuperlutendent
of lighthouse construction, and: who
has had charge of',the Greens Reef
lighthouse censtruction.
The party left the steamboat dock
aboutliliilo, and had an experience
which ought to have been bad by the
River-”and Harbor Department. The
vessel grounded three times during
the down trip, and when the chart call
ed for sufficient water the soundings
showed in every instance not' more
than half the depth of water indicated
on the chart. Olio'cougressman Hill
ought to bring this matter to the gov~
ermnent's attention. and insert, as he
so ably and persistently can. that a
sufficient appropriation be made for
the necessary improvement of our
harbor.
The delay, however, was not warm
tious. as it would have'been under
different conditions. as the genial ms-
t!" and his assistant, together with
r. and Mrs. Jones, were so entertain-
ing that the time about was of the
most enjoyable character. 3
. The lighthouse is practically comi
plated. and is s most substantial struc-
ture, and so‘locstsd as to meet the
approval of our' mariners. it will be
put in operation February 5th, after
which the Norwalk lighthouse will be
discontinued. The light from the Nor-
walk house will be placed in the new
one in a few weeks. During the inter-
im another lens will bs,usod. A full

There is very little of new interest to
report concerning the business of the
companyfor the past year. it has
proceeded within usual lines. without
any distinguishing features. The
grown: of the exchange and toll line
business has been satisfactory upon
the whole, though not phenomenal.
The yearly account repeats the lesson
which our‘statement for so many years
has given us, that own is a business in

on the whole the plant has been kept
in good condition, and’lefilolency of ear-

This year, however. has been notice-
dh able in one thing. that it is the yeah
in which“we have in our second class
exchanges and in our toll line business
reached the limit of our capacity. This
means that in the Immediate future.
our capacity in these two respects
must be enlarged.
The other business of the toll lines
