B &] THE EVENIN STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1893—TWELVE PAGES. WORK OF THE NAVY. (Continued from Ninth Page.) successfully withstood exhaustive tests, has been adopted for all guns of S-inch caliber ‘or tteries, guns have thus far been ordered. The general tendency with the principal foreign powers is not only toward the in- stallation on war vessels of ac many rapid- firing and machine guns as can be properly protected, but also toward the extension of ba From rapid-firia; system to guns of higher Personnel of the Navy. In a chapter devoted to the personnel of the navy he says: I cannot too strongly recommend con- @ressional action in reference to the per- sonnel of the line of the navy. Its present eendition is too serious to be neglected any lorger, and unless remedies are adopted looking to some system of promotion which will produce a regular flow from the bot- tom to the top of the list the consequences, not only to the service, but also to the government, will soon be nothing less than alarming. ‘The object of any scheme of promotion in the navy should be to produce efficient commanding officers, the accomplishment of which necessitates that officers of the line be made to bear the responsibilities of actug! command by or before the time they have reached the prime of life; while they are still young enough to accommodate themselves to the demands upon intellect and energy, which are made by the assump- tion of control of a modern man-of- r. I have endeavored to impress you with my deliberate conviction that this most im- portant branch of the public service, which may properly be termed the right arm of the republic for external defense, now suf- fers from two great evils, viz: First. A large proportion of the officers | of the line of the navy, at a time when mind and body ought to be at the best, are serving in the lower ranks without com- mand and the habit it begets. Second. No method now exists whereby the government can get the very flower of its personnel into those positions where they can be of the greatest service to the country, mechanical movement takes the place of healthy progression ied by merit and fit- Ress. Reorganize the Line. I am engaged in the preparation of a plan for the reorganization of the line of the navy, which I think will meet the re- quirements of the service, and I shall have the honor to present it to the committees on naval affairs and also to the joint com- mittee to investigate and consider the sub- Ject of the rank, pay and other matters relating to the personnel of the navy pro- posed in the concurrent resolution intro- duced by Mr. Meyer, in case said concur- rent resolution becomes a law. Before concluding these remarks on the personnel, it gives me pleasure to express the high opinion I have formed of the abil- ity and efficiency of all the corps of the navy. During the short time that I have occu- pied this office the whole strength of the service has been most actively engaged, both at home and abroad, on various du- ties calling for dispatch, fidelity and judg- ment. I am glad to say that, taken as a whole, I cannot do otherwise than com- mend the promptness and ability with which these duties have been performed. I think it fs no exaggeration to say that, with the reform herein shown to he neces- sary, the navy of the United States will have no superior in its personnel and that its professional proficiency and ability to build, arm, equip, provision and handle modern ships of war will every year and will keep its officers in the vanguard ot military and naval progress. Naval Militia. It is gratifying to the department to be able to state that public interest in the naval militia is gradually and steadily in- creasing. At the date of the last annual report the number of men ce-tified 2s mus- tered in and serving in the naval militia o: seven states was 1,794. During the present year organizations have been authorized by | the legislatures of Pennsylvania ar and the numbe- of officers and men mus- tered in and serving at the present time is 23 From the reports received by the depart- ment during the year, it is apparent that the navel militia o-ganizations under the different states are progressing as rapidly as possible under the peuliar circumstaaces of their situation on shore. The interest of the Navy Depa-tment in the naval militia must, in the nature of things, depend upon its efficiency as a/ seagoing force; and it is the intention of | the department to give the various organ. izations its most hearty co-operation in al efforts tending to such an end. The experience of this yea> has so im- Pressed the department with the importance | of the annual cruise that its policy in this direction will, if circumstances permit, be! carried out on even a large> scale during! the next year. It is exceedingly gratifying to see so many of our patriotic citizens thus volun- tarily organizing and laboring to fit them- seives for naVal duty. Ou> long and ex- Posed seaccast and the difficulties attending | enlistment of sailors from our merchant | marine make this organization of great na- | tional importance, and the department will do everything possible unde> existing laws to foster and encourage it. Enlisted Men. The present condition of affairs abroad makes it imperatively necessary that the new vessels should be sent to duty on fo-- eign stations as rapidly as they become | available, but the department finding that the present number of enlisted men and | boys in the service is insufficient purpose, I have the honor to re that this force be increased b | In order to enable the enlisted men of the | Ravy to become citizens of the [nite] States, as is most desirable, without for. feiting their continuous service in the navy it is recommended that the privilege grant. €4 to enlisted men of the army by section 2166 of the Revised Statutes be also grant- ed to the enlisted men of the navy. The Caravels and the Viking Ship. i The Columbian caravels, the Santa Macia, Nina and Pinta, a-e of no use to the navy, but remain as most interesting historical | mementoes, not orly of the courage andj genius of the illustrious discoverer of our continent, but also of the great world’s | fair exposition, and of the f-iendl: of Spain in building and send: to this country the Santa Maria. It is therefore suggested that Conzress be asked to direct | what disposition shall be made of them. Should Congress decide that they are to be brought to Washin [ recomn that am act be passed authorizing the expense uf | towing and bri z them to be paid from the unexpended balance of the appropria- | tons for the “international naval rendez- vous and review. In this connection I bez to inform you tha: Capt. Andersen, the daring n: who brought the Viking to the exposition, | and who represents those enterp-ising citi. | zens of Norway who built this boat, has| signified his intention to present that vessel to our government through the N; partment, and I have intimated tion to accept it. I therefore recommend that Congress shall also provide that som suitable disposition shall be made of the Viking when it shall come into the hands of the gove-nment. nited States Naval Observatory. I beg to recommend certain legislation Which, without cost to the government, will greatly benefit the United States naval ob- servatory. In order to insure, within practicable lim- its, the success of astronomical observations the delicate instruments used in observing should be protected against smoke, unusual currents of heated air and undue vibrations from traffic upon public thoroughfares in the vicinity. These essential safeguards, experiments have shown, can be secured only by controlling a circle described with a Fadius of at least 1,00 feet from the cer ‘wal point of the ‘building and allowing within it no public streets, avenues or thoroughfares. ‘The government land on which the naval observatory nas been establisned, thouzn ample in extent, will not, as it is now shaped, admit of giving on all sides the pro- tection desired, but an of Congress con- terring the needed authority wili enable the Separtment to acquire, without any appro- pria.ion, the twenty acres necessary to com- plece the circle. Such an act would conier Bower to seil lands which are not oniy out- side of the desired circle, but which by the proposed extension of Mas: thusetis ave- hue would be cut off from the observatory tract, and to buy with the proceeds of this sale land lying within the circle on clally as, in the event of a forsign war, posite side. The land proposed to be s the government would be compelled to rely of greater value than that which it is pro-| on private yards for hurried extensive re. | Dosed to buy, which latter would not pairs and any desirable increase of vessels, | 1 clude the grounds of th Industrial Hi. School. These, ough within the circ in consequence of which a dull} inerease with | ity be granted by Congress to dispose of the ground which would be cut off by the ex- tension of Massachusetts avenue on the most advantageous terms, and to use the money derived from such sale in the pur- chase of the additional land needed in other directions to complete the prescribed circle herein indicated. To prevent extortion it is recommended that the act confer authority to institute condemnation _ proceedings against such of the desired lands as cannot be otherwise procured at a fair valuation, | and it is also suggested that Congress shall authorize the department to convey for a | fair equivalent the right to extend Massa- | chusetts avenue through the grounds of the observatory on lines already laid out. The department is prepared to submit to Congress detailed information bearing upon |lation to accomplish the measures recom- mended. Labor at Navy Yards. Every facility has been afforded by the department for carrying out the provisions of the regulations relating to the employ- ment of labor at the navy yards. The re- port of the board of labor at the Norfolk navy yard for the year ending September 1, 1893, shows that out of 1,506 men certified | for employment 401 failed to report for work, Out of 1,111 certified to the heads of departments in the New York navy yard | 347 did not respond, and a like proportion | in the other navy yards failed to report for {employment in response to notices sent. This caused delay in procuring labor when needed, and suggested a modification of the | rules. According to the rules as adopted by my predecessor, the names of applicants remained on the register indefinitely. As | the applications were greatly in excess of | the needs of the government, and as it was often necessary to cali for laborers whose names had been on the register for nearly two years, it is obvious that there were many reasons, such as death, change of residence, obtaining other employment, &c., why persons on the register should fail to appear. The regulations were there- fore amended by ordering that, as is pro- vided in the rules governing the civil ser- j vice commission, the names of applicants ‘hould remain on the register only one ‘ar. Other amendments to the rules may be suggested by the careful scrutiny to which they are being constantly subjected by the department. ‘The Merit System. There is no doubt that the system of em- ploying laborers without reference to their poiitics and making merit the sole test of thelr retention and advancement is greatly to the benefit of the government. Unless some such system as this be followed,there is no practicable method except to take the recommendations of members of Congress, who are better acquainted with and have more knowledge of their constituencies than «ny other persons to whom the head of the department has access. Senators and Rep- resentatives, interested as thev are in the ; Success of the government and of their | party, as a rule, 1t may be safely presumed, Will only recommend those whom they be- leve to be competent for places under the sovernment, but the knowiedge they have of the capacity of laborers to build and re- |pair ships is generally restricted within very narrow limits. They certainly can not juSge of the competency of laborers with as much accuracy as they display in selecting persons for cierical piaces. and every one knows that in this, though actuated by the best intentions, they make freauent mis- takes. laborers to oblige their friends. and not be- cause of their capacity or skill. is that the {influence that procures an appointment is i frequently used to secure the retention of an incompetent employe. |, 1¢ is not practicable to estimate accurate- ily the value of the present system of em- |ploying labor at navy yards. but it cer- tainly is an improvement upon former methods. Every officer of the navy with 20m I have consulted favors it: especially those who have had recent exverience in ;navy yards. And yet experience and the constant investigations being made will doubtless suggest modifications. | Viointion ef Civil Service Rules. | Generally the regulations adoptel by my | predecessor seem to have been fairly com- {plied with. Recent developments. however, ave shown some violations of the rules at ; the Washington navy yard. It is the pur- pese of the department to investigate thor- joughly every case of alleged irregularity, ;and when infractions of the rules are es- | tablished such steps will be taken and such lorders issued as wiil prevent repetition of the offenses. It {s hoped that results will | be such as to satisfy all parties of the pro- jpriety and policy of making merit the sole |test by which labor is employed and re- {tained in our navy yards. The one misfortune connected with the not equally divided between the two great political parties. If such division had first been made and the system then put in) force it is not believed that even a plausible i argument could be made for a return to! former methods. however, to expect hould first have been made. No new meth- od would ever be tried if its adoption de- | pended on conditions that never existed. Ships in Commission.

For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895, | corps, including increase of the navy and public works, amount to $27,885,014.02. The estimates for the same purposes for the current fiscal year amounted to $24,-| 471,498.21, or 14,415.81 less than those for the next liscal year. For the current fiscal year the estimates for increase of the navy amounted to 39,- 708,657, and for the next fiscal year they v25, the difference being 4, ‘The estimates for the running expenses | | of the navy and marine corps, including im- | provements at navy yards and stations for | un Xt fis year, amount to $15,430, he estimates for the coming year, when in these estimates are inciuded, are $5,3S1,- So2.U4 in excess of the appropriations for point, and yet I am convinced that no ! suffice for the ac@ually necessary ex- penditures of this department. appropriations for the present fiscal year is due to the fact that only $200,000 was ap- propriated by the act of March 3, 1893, for ordnance, under “increase navy,”’ wherea: during the coming fiscal year.

He renews most earnestly the recommen- | dations of his predecessors for congression- | al provision for the publication of the naval records of the civil war. He also adopts the recommendations of Judge Advocate General Lemly for the compulsory attend- ance of civilians at naval courts; that depo- sitions of absent witnesses may be read in evidence before such courts, and that the law prescribing a limitation of punishment in the army be made applicable to the navy. He recommends, also, that the act regulat- ing promotions in the army be made to apply to the navy and that existing laws regarding naval promotions be amended, so that in cases where the board finds a can- didate physically disqualified for promo- tion, and accordingly resolves itself into a retiring board, it snall be its duty to exam- ine into the record of the candidate, so far as may be necessary, to ascertain whether or not his physical inability to perform at sea the duties of the place to which it is Proposed to promote him, is the result of drunkenness or any other cause aristng from his own misconduct. It is further recommended that the law for the examination of officers as to their physical, mental, moral and professional qualifications for promotion be made to embrace passed assistant surgeons upon their promotion to the grade of surgeon, and chief engineers upon their promotion to higher relative rank in that grade. “ a eae BRUNSWICK’S GRATITUDE.

He asked the house to sus- pend debate on the case until the result of the inquiry should be made known. Replying to the attacks made on the army by Herren Liebknecht and Bebel, democrats, the chancellor said he consid- ered the socialist agitation among the sol- diers highly dangerous. Socialists, he added, should recognize the fact that if they suc- ceeded in undermining the army,they would have undermined Germany's existence. He also referred to the anti-Semitic agita- tion, saying that those who started it were unable to control it, and the ignorant and dissatisfied population would eventually be unable to discriminate between Jewish and Christian capital, and would attack capital generally. ——— #ee«—- Capt.

Its Cause Clearly Explained and the Best Way of Avoiding It Revealed. “The past summer and early fall have been periods of worry, of care and exhausted vitality caused by the strains incident to business.” ‘The speaker was a prominent man. Continu- ing, he said: “This has naturally caused men to become run-down, nerveless and really unable to properly attend to business. But this is not all. Man's worries become a woman's worries because of her superior intuitive powers and sym- pathy with everything that concerns ber husband, her brothers or hér lover. All these things cause great exhaustion, and it {s not surprising that physicians report a state of weakness which hus not been known before for years. “It is true that ovr financial troubles are largely over, but the system needs building up to the con- dition and tone of six mouths ago. It is evident that this can only be done by the careful aod systematic use of some pure, bealth-tmparting, life-giving stimulant, and this can be found only in that grand preparation which has stood the test of a score of years, Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey.” The above words are true, and they should be carefully considered by all. Nothing has ever equaled this pure medicinal whiskey for build- ing up and restoring the health, wasted strength and vitality. Do not for a moment consider it like ordinary whiskies, and do not be deceived by any dealer who may tell you so. It has no equal, and is worthy of the great popularity which It possesses.
