Rousing Cheers Given Schley.

A hearty demonstration in honor of Admiral Schley made the National Theater at Washington ring with cheers for several minutes. It was the admiral’s first public appearance since the report of the court of inquiry. He and Mrs. Schley were the guests of Miss Mollie Eliot Sewall, an authoress, at a box party. Two-thirds of the persons in the audience arose to their feet when the presence of the admiral became known. Cheer after cheer was given, and twice the officer was forced to come from the rear of the box and bow his acknowledegments.
