Sampson A dispatch from Washing
Very ton states that Admiral
111. Sampson is a very sick
man, much woise than the
authorized reports state. His condition
is such that even the findings of the
Schley court have been kept from him.
Sampson has not understood for a year
what was going on, and the recent al
leged interviews are without foundation,
lie has not seen a reporter, and fa not
in condition to make a connected state
ment. His doctors say he may live for
months in his present condition, or
may, on the contrary, collapse any day.
It is expected that Secretary Long will
shortly approve the majority findings of
the court, and in case Schley appeals to
the Presidont, there is fear that the de
partment may be sustained.
The United States senate has referred

Saturday, December 21.
The On behalf of the lumbering
Boom ineests of the region
Nuisance. i id Gray's Harbor,
Wash., Senator Foster has
taken up with the chief ef engineers the
matter of controlling booms in that
state. The control of streams is largely
left to the engineer department, but in
this instance a desire is evinced to let
lumbermen agree among themselves
what booms shall be constructed and
what channels shall be kept open in the
smaller streams. The lumbermen as
sert that many streams entering Gray's
harbor are now practically closed by
bsoms, and ask for some protection from
the department. The chief of engineers
is inclined to believe that no boom
should be permitted, but for the time
beiug he will take no action.

Office The large amount of time
, Seekers that President Roosevelt is
Many. giving to appointments, re
movals and office-seekers is
causing a great deal of comment in
Washington. It is the opinion of Bouie
that a man who ii so devoted to civil
service reform should clear the White
House of office-brokers and assert that
he will coneider appointments on their
merits and at his own conuonience, in
stead of hearing from everybody that
wants oflice. The White House is a
rendezvous for politicians who make
charges and counter charges against the
men who are in and against those who
want to get in. In his second term,
Cleveland found it necessary absolutely
to bar the doors rgainst the office-seekers.
Roosevelt will have to do so or
break down in health.
