Philadelphia, Jan. l'9. Prank M. Hit

ment concerning what ho terms "the
effort of tho machine organs through

He added that the Union parly stute

since the November election, perfecting
Its organization throughout the state,
and that it would be a much more im
portant factor in the next state cam
paign than it was in the last. The dis
sension In the Union party organiza

nomination of two offices will disappear
with the February election, and the

THE APPEAL
Text of the Admiral's Points
in the Case Laid Before
President.
By Kxdushe Wire from The Associated I'reu,
Washington, Jan. 'Jit. The navy de
partment lias made public Admiral
Schley's appeal, delivered to the presi
dent about a week ago. The depart
ment's comment will be published in a
day or two.
Admiral .Schley appeals to the presi
dent as .the chief executive and com
mander in chief of the army and navy,
"vested with power to regulate- and
direct the acts of the several execu
tive odicers thereof," and he asks that
llio president review the findings of the
court. Ho asks this on three grounds.
In each case basing Ids appeal on the
findings of Admiral Dewey, as opposed
to the majority report. These three
grounds are set out cou.yendiously in
the -petition, which fills about eight
printed pages of a pamphlet, and is
signed by Admiral Schley and by
Messrs. Uayner, Parker and Teague, of
his counsel. Attached to the petition
are three exhibits A, IS and C each
made up of copious extracts from th-j
testimony taken by the court of in
quiry "and intended to confirm tho
statements of fact made in the peti
tion itself. s
In the petition, the first ground of
appeal Is the holding of Secretary
Long in his ludoresement on the court's,
findings that "the conduct of the court
in making no finding' and rendering no
opinion on these questions (thai of
command and of credit for the victory)
is approved Indeed, It could, with pro
priety, take no other course, evidence
on Wiose questions during the Inquiry
having been excluded by tho court."'
On this point, the petition says that
the secretary of the navy was In error
in saying that the court excluded testi
mony to show that, as Dewey said,
Schley was the senior oilicer In the
battle of Santiago; was in absolute;
command, and entitled to the credit
title for the glorious victory which re
sulted in tlin lottil destruction of tho
Spanish .ships.

them to go with their husbands

PRESS CENSORSHIP
SUBJECT OF DEBATE
DANISH INDIES PURCHASE
Treaty with Denmark Receives Its
First Consideration in the Sen
ate Committee.
by Exclusive Wire ftom Ihe Asiwiitrd Cress.
AVnshlnglori, Jan, i!). The treaty
with the govertifnent of Denmark fur
the cession of the West Indian islands
owned by that country to the United
States today received Its first attention
at tho hands of tho senate committee
on foreign relation!". The greater part
of the- time of the committee's sittings
was given to tlds question, but llio
committee adjourned without taking
action. This postponement of actloa
was not due to opposition to the treaty
but rather to a desire on the pait of
tho members to secure from the state
department all tho Information obtain
able concerning tho resources of the Is
lands and tho advantages to bo secured
by their control by the United States.
All the members of the commllte';
present, Including several Democrats,
expressed themselves as of the opinion
that the possession of the islands would
be of advantage from a strategic point
of view.
The present prospect is the -treaty
will bo favorably reported after an
other meeting devoted to its considera
tion. BOERS HAD NO HAND IN

The Hague Proposition to End the
War Is Prompted Solely by an
Interest in Humanity.
Dy KxriiMltre Wire from The Associated 1'ieiu.
Loudon, Jan, SO. The Hague corre
spondent of tho Dully Mall says he is
able to announce on authority that the
Dutch dote to Great Hrilaln after re
hearsing tile earnest concern of that
government at, the prolongation of hos-tUttles'-In
South Africa, offered Its good
offices in bringing them to a close.
-To this end, Holland asked whether
Great Britain would be willing to per
mit a Dutch conirriisslon to proceed to
South Africa, to enlighten tho Poer
leaders in the Held as to the real posi
tion of affairs, and more especially,
since It is understood that there Is not
the' slightest chance of Intenventlon on
the part of any European power and
that the prolongation Of hostilities Is
useless, If the bravo struggli; can servo
no further good purpose. The corre
spondent safe's the Dutch government
expressly announces-In this note that it
-possess no authorization whatsoever
from the Boer .leaders, either in Europe
or South Africa, to take this suggested
step, but, that It appeals to Great Brit
ain on the ground of common human
ity, for military permission for the
Dutch commission to accomplish Its
mission of peace. Such permission
would bind neither the lirltlsh govern
ment to the discussion of terms or the
initiation of any negotiations, nor
pledge the Dutch government fur the
success of Its self-imposed tusk.
It Is understood that Great Hrllaln
Is awaiting the receipt of Lord Kitch
ener's views on this suggestion, and Is
willing to grant tho rertulred safe con
duct to tho Dutch commission If Lotd
Kitchener offers no objections, though
It Is not hopeful of any practical result
from tho effort,
Tho truth appears to be that Dr.
Kuypei', tho Dutch premier, despairing
because of the negative attitude of Dr.
Leyds, the European representative of
tho Transvaal, and his party who main
tained that tho credentials only per
mitted negotiations un the basis of the
retention of Boer Independence decided
to appeal to the fighting burghers,
Tills explains tho wish of tho lloer
delegates la Europe to dissociate them
selves from the action taken by Hol
land, LAWYER PATRICK'S TRIAL.

Washington, JunYl 29. Kor an hour
today the senate hill under discussion
the (lUesttou whotlifi' it censorship of
1 press dispatches 'xlsts In Manila.
i While no such turbulent scenes us yes
terday's were emu-ted, the debate was
very spirited. Tho secretary of win
was quoted as saying that no press
censorship now existed in the Philip
pines, and a letter from General Gree
ley, chief signal officer of the army,
was presented by Mr. lSeverldge, of' In
diana, making the statement officially
thai there was no censorship of press
dispatches, and that "the press Is en
tirely free."
It was contended by the opposition,
that a press censorship did exist In
the Philippines and that copies of every
news dispatch filed with the cable
company was tiled with the military
authorities. That, It was maintained,
constituted a virtual censorship.
In discussing the bill, Mr. Welling
ton said It had been demonstrated that
there existed in the army in the Philip
pines a decided spirit to criticise sena
tors who were opposed to the war in
the Philippines. Ho denounced the
war as "unrighteous and unjust."
He believed thut both members of
congress and private ""!Itl?.enfl'Hod"',iitc
right to hold views in opposition tu
the administration's "lniierlal policy"
and to express those views, without
subjecting themselves to the criticism
of army olllcers.
Mr. Stewart delivered a brief speech,
lu Which he declared that the people
never would consent to relinquish tho
Philippines. He believed they would
prove of immense value to tills coun
try In many ways.
Mr. Cttllom, chairmuu of the com
mittee on foreign relations, delivered
an extended speech on the history of
the reciprocity negotiations.
The house today adjourned after be
ing lu session twenty-live minutes. Mr.
Hopkins, of Illinois, reported tho per
manent census bill and gave notice that
he would call II up tomorrow. A re
eiuest to make Ihe oleomargarine bill
n special order for next Monday was
objected to on the Democratic; side.
The short session was because no
business was directly before the house.
There being no special order and no.
appropriation bills ready, tho commit
tees were called. Not a single commit
tee responded, and Mr. Payne, of Xew
York, the majority Moor leader, r"
marked sententluusly that later on lu
thf session members would complain
that they had no opportunity under tlio
rules to secure consideration for their
bills.
