BARS THE MACLAY MSTORY
ouse Votes Unanimously to Exclude the
Book from Naval Academy
SUSTAINS WISH OF PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
it Yard Historian la Denounced as
Dastard for Defaming Admiral
Schley, Mho Is Gener
ally Extolled.
WASHINGTON, May 17. The house spent
tbe day In discussing the naval appropria
tion bill and the most important feature of
the discussion Involved a revival of the
ampson-Schley controversy. This arose
over an amendment to the bill, which waa
presented by Mr. Mudd of Maryland and
hlch waa adopted, prohibiting tbe use of
Maclay'a history of tbe navy as a text
book at the naval academy. A number of
minor amendments to the bill was adopted,
but the consideration of the measure wa
not completed before the house adjourned.
Mr. Mudd at thla point offered his amend
ment to exclude from the naval academy
nd from ships and government libraries
the history of Edgar Stanton Maclay.
Mr. Dayton made the point of order
against the amendment and tbe chair sua-
alned the point. '
Mr. Mudd then offered a substitute
amendment providing tbat no part of the
money appropriated ln the bill under con
sideration shall be expended ln the pur
chase of any history of the Spanish-American
war written by Edgar Stanton Maclay,
for use at the naval academy, in ship li
braries or ln any part of the naval estab
lishment of the United States.
Dayton Loses Thla Time.
Mr. Dayton of West Virginia made tho
usual point of order against tbe substitute
amendment, but the chair held that the
mendment wa germane.
Mr. Mudd having succeeded ln getting
this matter before tbe house, said that
tbe president of tbe United States bad
stated to bim tbat this work should
ever be used. In reply to a question of
Mr. Dayton, who asked why he wanted to
put the amendment on the bill tn view of
the fact that the president would bold over
the next fiscal year, Mr. Mudd said tbat
while Mr. Roosevelt waa a very lively
force at thla time and promised to live
out this term and bo ready to take
nother, he wanted to guarantee against
any contingencies.
Mr. Pearre of Maryland said be wanted
o Join bis colleague ln his unqualified ad
miration for that admirable American and
great sea fighter. Admiral Wlnfleld Scott
Schley. Admiral Schley, he said, had
borne with fine patience tbe onslaught of
his defamers and, with It all, stood before
the country as the real hero of Santiago.
Tbe wounds in tbe hull of the gallant
Brooklyn testified which vessel bad born
the brunt of the fight.
Stand by the President.
Mr. Schlrm of Maryland, ln making bla
maiden effort before tbe house, said that
the unfortunate controversy between Samp
son and Schley had not been forced by the
friends of Admiral Schley; that truth bad
been perverted by Maclay. He had at
tempted to besmirch tbe record of one of
tbe moat illustrious naval officer of his
Ime. Mr. Schlrm characterized the act of
Maclay as "dastardly" and he wanted the
houso to stand by tbe president, who had
publicly announced tbat Maclay's history
ahould find no place in the curriculum of
the naval academy or ln tbe ships' libraries.
Mr... Cannon of Illinois remarked tbat he
did not believe tbat anybody in tbe bouse
or In the country believed tbat Schley was
coward.. He said he did not believe any
body ln the bouse or tbe country believed
tbat Maclay waa telling tbe truth when
e wrote about. Schley as be did. He
thought, however, aa Maclay bad been
kicked out of tbe servlcev It came with
rather bad grace to attach the amendment
to the bill, when its adoption could not
change the judgment of mankind as to
Schley' standing.
Tbe amendment wa. adopted without a
dissenting vote.
EASLEY LOOKS OVER GROUND
Secretary of Civic Federation Con
fers"-with President Mitchell
oa Strike.
HAZLETON, Pa., May 17. The arrival
bere tonight of Ralph M. Easley, secretary
of the National Civic federation, lends color
to the reports which have been current for
the past few days that tbe Civic federation
ia making an effort to terminate the an
thracite coal miners' strike.
Mr. Eaaley reached tbia city from New
York at 9:15 o'clock and repaired at once
to the Valley hotel, where he met Presi
dent Mitchell of the United Mine Worker,
with whom he immediately went Into con
ference behind closed door.
Secretary Easley stated tbat bis visit
was for the purpose of "looking over tbe
ground."
Asked It he brought any message from
Senator Hanna or any other member of
th Civic federation, Mr. Easley replied
ln the negative and added tbat he was
not acting ln tha capacity of a measenger.
Despite Secretary Easley'a reticence.
however, his presence here at thla time Is
regarded as significant from tbe fact that
he spent part of yesterday ln Washington
ln conference with Senator Hanna and Sam
uel Gompers, president of th American
Federation of Labor, and ambassador of
tbe National Civic federation.
No New Developments.
There were no development here today.
ln tbe anthracite miner' etrlke. No peace
offers have been msde by either and there
ia nothing on th surface to indicate tbat
anything in th direction of a aettlement
will be done during the next few day.
President Mitchell remained close to
headquarter and spent a busy day going
over matter principally taken up by a
conference with the Illinois aoft coal oper
ators over a few disputed points in the
Springfield (111.) bituminous district. Tbe
matter was finally disposed of, an agree
ment being reached which waa satisfactory
to both aides. The agreement was not
made public, but It will run for another
year. Tbe Illinois delegation left for tbe
west at 9 o'clock tonight
Preeldrnts la Conference.
Nothing official wa given out today re
gardlng the calling out of the bituminous
miners. It U understood, however, tbat
the district presidents of the thre anthra
cite districts ara in communication with the
presidents of tbe bituminous districts for
th purpose of getting two of them to
make up the five necessary to call a spe
cial national convention to eonafder tbe
advisability of calling out th soft coal
miners. This is believed to be a mere
formality, as It 1 thought tbe West Vlr
ginla district will agree to the assemb
ling of such a convention.
Reports received at atrike bead
quarters today were to th affect tbat
th order to strike waa betng carried out
to the letter. Several rumor reached her
today tbat nonunion men, of whom there
ar comparatively few, bad mad attempta
to return to work ln some localities, but
not on of the could be verified.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WXSHINOTON, May 17. (Special Tele-
gram.) Tbe legislative position of tbe bill
to open tbe Rosebud reservation ln Soutb
Dakota under tbe substitute offered ln the
bouse to the senate measure, gives tbe bill
ratber an Interesting standing. Under tbe
houae substitute tbe bill does not contain
the proposition for free homes which Is
embodied In tbe senate measure, but does
contain a commutation provision, which the
senate knocked out. Representative Burke,
who has been actively interested in tbe
measure, probably could have obtained a
favorable report from the bouse committee
on Indian affairs on tbe free homes fea
ture of the senate bill, but It
would bava been at tbe expense of In
fluential support. Chairman Sherman of
tbe committee and Major Lacey of Iowa,
two of the very strongest members of the
committee, are opposed to free borne
and should Mr. Burke Insist upon carrying
the free homes feature through by the aid
of democratic votes he would have lost the
support of tbe gentlemen named. A minor
ity report would ln all probability have
been filed, which would have made It prac
tically Impossible to have secured consider
ation at tbe hands of the speaker. Under
present conditions tbe chances are very
much in favor of It receiving considera
tion, although tbat will depend largely on
Mr. Sherman Inducing the speaker to give
the Indian committee a day for the con
sideration of bills which have been re
ported from that committee and are now
on the calendar. Should consideration be
given, which now seems probable, tbe bill
opening the portion of tbe Rosebud agency
ln Gregory county. South Dakota, will un
doubtedly pas tbe house, thereby getting
Into conference, where It Is hoped that the
fre borne provision aa passed by tbe sen
ate will bs adopted.
