The correspondence between the the Navy and Lieutenant Commander forringe, which led to the resignation of the ister, has been given out for publication. On thé Sth inst. Secretary Chandler wrote to Mr. Gorringe, stating that the attention of the department had been called to his (Gorringe’s) statement in, the New York Evening Post in advocacy of ‘ips, and asked whether he was “unler any emplo}ment by or obligation to any other Interest @han that of his naval profession), or are in relatiqn thereto, or have received or expect to recelve ‘any com- ensation by reason of any such emplogment, ob- Ngution or relation.” Under dato of February 7th Mr. Gorringe re- piled that with the exception of his employment as a c tins engineer by Mr. H. M bly, he was not under any employment by or obli- ions to eny other interests than those of his ession, Hor had he recetved or did he expact to ive compensation. His employment as con- suiting engineer, he had, he sald, stated in his Jevter to the department of June 26th lzSt In rela- tion to the extension of his turlough. “I have not yet,” he said, “formed business connections that: Would interieie in a remote degree with my duties as an officer, and when I do I shall probably tender my resignation. On the 10th instant, the Secretary wrote again to Mr, Gorringe, stating that “ the inquiry of the department arose from the suggestion that you ‘Were employed by, or were under obligations or in relation to interests not American. Assuming that your statement negatives any such employment, obligation or relation, and was so Intended, your reply is satisfactory. There 1s no obj jon to the public expression by any naval rof his unpurehased opinions on any subject of general interest.” This called out a letter from Mr. Gorringe, dated at New York on the 14th instant, in which ‘he de clared that his letter was not intended to negative “a suggestion,” and that 1t was the right of offi- cers of the navy to rely implicitly upon the de- partment for protection against suggestions im- pugning their reput:tion. Mr. Gorringe, under date of the 17th inst., re- ceived un order from the Secretary to report to the chief of bureau of navigation ig thiscity. On the ist inst. Mr. Gorrinze wrote to the Pre-id-nt, tendering his resignation as a lteutenant com- mand«r in the navy, to take effect immediately, and requesting “that the honorable Secretary of the Navy be requested to inform the President whether or not there are any charges pending against me, and whether or not there is any evidence on re- cord in the department, or within his. decries ty of any act or express-ton of mine that should investigated prior to the scecptance of my resig- nauion.” On the same day Mr. Gorringe was in- formed by letter by Secretary Chandler that his resignation was accepted and his request that cer- tain information be given the President would be complied with. ‘ARY OF tary of Lieut.

When the doors were reopened at 11:10 a.m., the Senate took up the legislative, executive and judi- ¢tal appropriation bill. THE PUBLIC PRINTER DISCURSED. Upon the provision increasing the salary of the public printer to $4,000 a discussion arose as to the influence of the printers’ union upon the manage- ment of the Government Printing Office. Mr. Beck sald. he understood that the public rinter was at the mercy of some outside associa- Eon, both as to the wi he pald and the ns employed, and asked the chairman of the it~ tee on printing what he knew on the subject. Mr. Anthony replied that he regretted to admit that no printer could work in the government office unless he was a member of the union. Mr, Halo sald then there ought to be a provision inserted in the bill to open the Government Print- ing Office to every man and woman in the coun- try, whether they belong to the printers’ unton or no “Mr. Davis (W. Va.) said the ro Dill for such a provision was the sundry civil, which contains ap- ropriations to pay employes of the printing of- ice. Mr. Plumb thought it was time to set down on the ‘Typographical Union and its dominating in- uence. Mr. Voorhees and Mr. Conger defended the printers and their union, the latter saying it com- rised the skilled and inteliigent printers, and ie government could not carry on its rinting establishment without them; that to “sit down on the union would be to shut up the Government Sane Office. Mr. Plumb said he was 8 printer himself, and Mmpathized with the printers. He chat t the Columbia Typographical Union did undertake to control the government office, and cited the rules of the union as to the number of apprentices, e (4 Messrs. Conger, Voorhees and others, who de- fended the union, maintained that the printers aia not, as charged, endeavor to control the printing office and dictate to Congress that unless their just demands were respected they would simply ae work, something they had a perfect rignt 0. Mr. Davis (W. Va.) hoped some law would be Passed to correct the evil pointed out. The amendment increasing the public printer’s pay was agreed to. Confirmations by the Senate.
