SAMPSON AND SCHLEY.

Long Wrangle In the Senate Over Their Proposed Advancement. The contention between Sampson and Schley stirred up the Senate to smh an extent on Monday that the peace treaty was forgotten and the Senators fought anew the great battle of Santiago, touched upon pending scandals in the army, deplored the opening of similar sores in the navy, and i>ostponed all action on the President’s advancement of Sampson and Schley for a period of twenty days. This conclusion was not reached, however, until the Senate, by a vote of 37 to 17. or exactly two to one. over the protests of Senators Chandler, Hale and Lodge, ordered the Secretary of the Navy to send to the Senate all the papers in the case of each of the commodores who had been advanced on account of conspicuous conduct.
