The firt hearing was adjourned to allow

At the appointed hour Myers failed to

THE "SQUJliU'S DECISION.
The justice decided that the letter was ex
ceedingly libelous. It is very voluminous
and contains matter of the most sensational
Mnd. It is addressed to tho "First Baptist
Church of Ben vcr Falls, or to uhomit may
concern," and is dated August 14, 1S9L Iu
part the missive is ns follow s:
"Wo have rocen ert many letters concern

he desired to reform, that mo finally con-
luded to gn c him a call as pastor of this

"it was not long, however, until we found
him out and then gave him Ills dismissal.
He (Bristol) collected money to build a
church and neer turned it over to tho
church people, but appropriated it to hi
own use. lie also contracted debts which

to satisfy his creditors. He borrowed money
from the church to help him out of a tight
place, and never paid it back. He borrowed

church members, w ho took his individual
note for it. Hulmcs w ill never see liU monoy

persons in Churubusco."
The letter goes on in this strain for se oral
closely -w ntten pages, and concludes with
the following language: "He is a liar, a
backbiter, a slanderer and a prevaricator, is
as sharp as a tack, as sly as a fox and as slick
as a greased hog."

It's a dudish sort of an outfit, so far as tho

fFEOM A STArr CORRESPONDENT.
Washikotox, Sept. 6. Though nothing
has been said about it, the President, the
Secretary of the Navy and the Assistant
Secretary of the .Navy have this week been
wrestling with the grave question of the
disposition of what there is of the United
States Navy, and, primarily, with the quar
rel between Admiral Gherardl and Acting
Rear Admiral Walker, for upon the cir
cumstances that led to this quarrel hinge
the proper and sensible bestowment of the
few ships that constitute the "navy."
Gherardi is the senior admiral of the
navy, and Walker is only an acting rear
admiral. The former will probably be re
tired in a year, and, if things continue as
they are, Walker will have command of the
North Atlantic station and air himself as
the officer in charge ot the great display
that will be made next year in honor of the
memory of that fine old-time navigator,
Christopher Columbus. Meantime, Walker
is as arrogant as he dares to be, and that is
decidedly impudent. He is a brother-in-law
of Senator Allison, of Iowa, who is the
perennial Chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations of the Senate, and has it in
his power to give or withhold millions from
administrations anxious to make a record
for building up the navy.
Whatever the strength of the affection
between the two men, Allison favors
Walker in every way he can, and has had
him placed iu command of the "White
Squadron," or "squadron of evolution," in
which position Walker for a year or two
has been doing nothing but swing about in
the pleasantest of weather, and in home and
foreign latitudes where there were splendid
harbors with facilities for no end of ban
quets aboard and ashore.
AN ORNAMENTAL SQJJADBOX AFLOAT.
All this time Walker has had in his or
namental squadron several of the newest,
most beautiful and best-equipped ships of
the navy, while at all of the most important
points there have been a lot of old tubs, and
at times no ship at all, flying the stars and
stripes. For instance, there was a consid
erable period a few months ago when no
American naval vessel was within 1,000
miles of the Sandwich Islands, though there
were plots afloat to insure or encourage the
occupation of the islands by the English
force.
The young Queen is afflicted with Anglo
phobia, and for this reason: She knows
that her American subjects are plotting for
a republic, and that the only hope or the
perpetuation of her rule is in forming a
sort of alliance with another country. It
has been a part of her plan to catch the
United States napping, excite an uprising
among tne natives when there was no naval
'bhip of the United States in the harbor at
Honolulu, ask for protection from British
vessels, secure the landing of a British force
and 'the organization of a British "protecto
rate," which, as aby one will understand
who knows the British temper and policy,
would mean a permanent directory of the
islands from the north end of Westminster
bridge.
HOW AMERICAN AFFADJS ABE WATCHED, i
Ditto at Samoa. There the Germans are
scheming for absolute control, and to pre
vent the United States from acquiring even
n coaling station, and yet nothing but an
old tub is left there to inspire fear from the
natives and respect from the others, and
part of the time there is no United States
vessel there at alL
Ditto at China. For months there has
been danger of a massacre of foreign resi
dents, and Americans in China have had to
place their hope of protection in vessels of
otlisr countries than their own, which had
on that coast only a few rotten hulks not
even capable of safely making the voyage
home in case they were wanted.
Soon after the revolutionary movement
broke ont in Haiti, Admiral Gherardi was
ordered there to protect American interests
with the rotten old Galena, with an arma
ment of 30 years ago and a speed of II miles
an hour. Later he received the addition of
neither of them seaworthy and only capable
of doing about ten miles an hour. As
though to add insult to injury, the "White
squadron," with its fine ships, was not long
ago ordered to make its wav to Port au

them was The Dispatch reporter.
Standing with his straw hat on, Harrison
frowned angrily down upon the Collector
who sat in his Roman chair, and he ripped
out: "And that fool Lyon went and
referred my application for the boat to
Foster." Quick as a wink the Collector was
out of his chair and stood facing yonng
Harrison. He pulled his glasses off, and,
glaring right in Harrison's face, he shot
back: "Excuse me, Mr. Harrison, I was the

forget the etiquette due to his senior in
rank, and when sternly called to account for
his lack of respect rerform his part in such a
supercilious way as to be more insulting
than before.
POOREST VESSELS IN IMPORTANT PLACES.
Thus, while the poorest vessels of the
navy have been ordered to the most import
ant posts to perform vitally important dutv,
this swell-headed acting rear admiral, with
his political and social influence so power
ful as to make him believe that he owns the
navy, has been all the time sailing in sum
mer weather to suit his own sweet will, with
the finest of our new war shins at his com.
mand. It is a fact that he has been "run.
ning" the navv, and that means that be has
had influence that neither the President nor
the Secretary of the Navy dared to resist
He has had only to ask to get what he
wanted no matter how arrogant his demands.
This favoritism has disorganized the whole
navy.
The grip of "Walker on the navy and its
disposition has become of itself so great a
scandal that the President and Secretary
Tracy have been forced to consider some
change, and it is probable that an arrange
ment will soon be made that will at least
suggest that Walker is not in absolute con
trol, though it is probable that his influence
will yet be able to keep him constantly in
positions which are not in any way his
due.
