EDITION, HENDRICKS AND CHANDLER, j I s-Senator Hepdricks, in his speech at Indianapolis, referred to Secretary Chandler and the abuses in his office.' This prompted the Secretary to the indiscretion of addressing a reply to the distinsruished Indiamari.' The letter was characteristically disin genuous. He attempted to shield himself behind certain Democratic Senators and Representatives, saying that they had signed a letter recom mending that Dr. Wales be reap pointed Surgeon General of the Navy; But little Chandler failed to note that 32 Republican Senators also signed the recommendation. The Democrats were asked to sign the petition by Chandler's party friends in the Senate. The pith of the thing is this: Chandler had known of the frauds in ms department tor a year, tie un dertook to break his own responsi bility in the business by shoving the -blame on Dr. Wales, the head of the Bureau in which the frauds were perpetrated. Gov. Hendricks drew attention to these frauds as he had a perfect right to do. They; had extended through nearly four years and Chandler's own testimony before the investigating Committee shows that he had been duly warned and ought to have taken steps at once to arrest the rascalities. The Govern ment lost $63,000 through Chandler's and others incompetency. When ex posed he seeks, shelter from public criticism by throwing the blame on Wales, and to drive his defence home, points to the fact that certain Democratic Senators had since in dorsed Wales. But this defence will not do. Chandler is responsible and not Dr. Wales, for the robberies Senator Beck says : - ; - " "If Bill Chandler had half the honesty of Dr. Wales he would be a better man than he is by a great deal.' Why doesn't ne put out tne names or tne Kepulican Ben- ' ators who asked for Wales' retention. I signed the petition, and I would do it again, vz. waies is an nonest man and a jarentleman." . ' ' r Gov. Hendricks has written a sting- mg repiy 10 me mavy man s letter. 1 1 . . .1 : t . . . He show that the frauds in the Naval Bureau were the result of careless methods of administration and that - the blame for the escape of the cul- . prita rubiH, auu ougni to rest upon the Secretary. ,.

V , mai iue opoKs ana voucners snail come under the examination of new and disinter ested men. Do you think I am answered when you say I am mistaken in supposing that in this case the frauds were all under yonr administration, when in fact part of - them extended back into that of vour nre- decessor ? Whv. sir. that taakes vonr - worse, for the bureau of medicine arid sur - gery defalcation is large, but the more seri- -e- ons tact is that it could and did extend - tnrooghtwo administrations of a depart ment, a period ol nearly four years, with-' - out detection.

Thiff vessel had no ' less than fifteen cases on board, and yet, without difficulty or hesitation, this vessel with its very dangerous cargo was allowed to enter the port at Toulon, and thus r deposi ted a disease that' may 5 spread all. over the civilized world, sendirig to ine grave -uB 4 1 tims. The Fhiladeipnia mriean 1 thus points ouf the extreme Bfpidity and unfaithfulness of1 French roftr- cials: 'This crime aerainst the health and safe ty not only of France but of all Europe is a typical illustration of the callousness of French officialism. Another is found! in thf ireneral desertion of - Marseillea - and Toulon by the civil authorities, whose duty it was to remain at their posts and do all that was possible to abate the (pestilence. A third is the refusal of the municipal au thorities of Paris to nostpone the annual 1 festivatof the 14th of July in honor bf the establishment of. the .Republic,' although the medical authorities have given warning that this may result in the spread of tne disease over all France. " - 1 There is no abatement of the pes tilence, and it is by no means impro bable that it will find its jway even tually to the United States.' '. 'The best way is to prepare for it. The vote on the Butle Protection plank in the Chicago Convention was regarded as about a fait test of the I actual Protection strengthv 16 was T,0tm;r,.TW roAtol ( Thft ww- re8ponaent of the Boston Tost, giving some? , glimpses of the ..Convention work, says: . i ' i - "The issue in the committee was ion the word 'exclusively' in the following phrase: Federal taxation shall he exclusively -ior public purposes. The protectionists voted strike out tne wora -exclusively.- iney held that this made the issue between the revenue reformers and the high tariff, men. They .were voted down by 18 to :1b, tour revenue reformers being absent and three delegations, Connecticut Vermon,t and Mis souri being, misrepresented, t so mat py States the revenue reformers stood 25 to their opponents 13." f Randall said he could not stand on Butler's plank. The fact, is, it an tagonizes the ' Republican plank as well as the Democratic plank. T-he Republican papers are trying ' to make their plank mean a revision for higher taxes instead of a reduction, but the platform speaks otherwise as we showed yesterday. Only -one Protectionist was voted for in the Convention,- s Mr. Randall,' and he lacked five votes of having the full' vote of his State. 1 . i 1 This puts an end, we believe i forever, to' the attempts to restore.
