Assistant Secre- tary Day said yesterday that he had no notion of going back to Washington or anywhere else so Jpng as the fine weather lasts at Cambridge Springs. “I héar the gossips have President Me- Kinley ordering me back,” he said to a correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, “but, as a matter of fact, I have received no communication from the President or any one else. I feel ‘absolutely certain I would hear from the President as soon as any one, You can say_ that J. expect to stay, and will not, in all probability, get back till September.” “Is there any truth in the rumors that Secretary Sherman will resign?” “That I ought not to answer; it is a ques- tion I have no right to discuss, and you must excuse me from answering.’ Judge Day further refused to discuss the state of health of the Secretary. “It is rumored that President McKinley will visit Cambridge Springs shortly.” “Possibly,” replied Judge Day. “He couldn’t find a pleasanter place to stay.” “Will he be your guest here?” “Oh, no, he expects, I believe, to attend the reunion of his old regiment, the 23d Ohio, and if he intends to come here, it might be on that trip. The visit would have no political significance.” ————————e.—____ Nearing the Million Mark. From the New York Sun. A statement drawn up at the pension office shows that the number of pensioners on the roll for June 30, the end of the last fiscal year, was 983,528. This prodigious total breaks all records, the surprising fact being that now, thirty-two years after the close of the civil war, the number of pen- sioners is larger than at any preceding time, although the ravages of death among the survivors of the war are now becoming so great. In other words, the influx to the list still exceeds the increasing outflow. In 1865, the last year of hostilities, the number of pensioners on June 30 was set down at 85,986. A year later it got into six figures, with 126,722. The increase thenceforward was steady, yet moderate, until 207,495 was reached in 1871. Two years later, in 1873, what then appeared to be its maximum was attained, June 30 showing 238,411; for the following year it fell to 236,241, this being the first decrease in a dozen years. The next June there was a falling off to 234,821; the next, to 232,- 137; the next, to 282,104; the next, to 223,908. But then, just as a continuing ebb, with these five successive years, seemed assured, the tide turned. The arrears and other pension acts made a vast difference. In 1879 the record for June 30 rose to 242,755, and each succeeding June from that time has shown an increase, larger or smaller, up to the one just past. In 1883 the number had grown to 303,658; in 1887, to 406,007, while in 1890 it passed the half-million mark, June 30 of that year showing 537,944. ‘Thereafter it took prodigious bounds, in- fluenced largely by the disability pension act. The first year’s jump was nearly 140,- 000, to 676,140 in 1891; while even that was outdone by an increase of nearly 200,- 000 in the following twelve months, to 876,068. A third increase brought the number to 966,012 on June 30, 1893. Just there, however, when there was a general expectation) of reaching the million mark the following June, since fewer than Sed net aetna wee evap at oe the annual gain 0B. u- sand, the number rei peing Peers The next year the, gain, was smaller yet, not quite a thousand, the total being 970,- 524.

No RIGHTS OF V Result of Investigation at New York Navy Yard. NAVAL CONSTRUCTOR EXONERATED The Memorandum Issued by Assist- ant Secretary Roosevelt. RULES TO BE ENFORCED pee An interesting contribution to the litera- ture bearing upon the subject of political discrimination in the government work- shops, and the rights of veterans to prefer- ence in the matter of appointments and re- tention in the navy yards, is contained in @ memorandum made by Acting Secretary Roosevelt upon a report made by Com- mander C. H. Davis of the navy, giving the results of an investigation made by him of various charges against the methods of Naval Constructor Francis T. Bowles of the New York navy yard in the employ- ment and retention of men at that yard. Complaints and allegations hail been made against Constructor Bowles by Represen- tatives Wilson, Fischer, Hurley, Howe and Bennet of the New York delegation. In the introduction to this report Com- mander Davis states the case against Con- structor Bowles. The Charges. The statement is as follows: “In opening the investigation and in its conduct throughout, I was met by an ob- stacle which I had foreseen from the first of my intercourse with members of Con- gress with whom I had communication »e- forehand. That is the difficulty of securing ‘specilic data as to the complaints and alle- gations against Naval Constructor Bowles.” Vaguely and generally these allegations against Mr. Bowles were: “First. Making unjust discharges, which includes political discrimination; discrimi- Tation against veterans; discrimination against competent persons in favor of in- competent persons retained; vindictive use of the power of discharge; harshness in inflicting the extreme penalty of discharge; rating men on discharge lower than their real merit, and undue influence on the part of foremen. “Second. Discrimination against Brooklyn men in employing labor. “Third. Importing labor from other places to the exclusion of men having navy yard experience. “Fourth. Holding men under false ratings and establishing new ratings in order to take on special men, to the exclusion of others on the eligible list, and that the general efficiency of the construction de- partment had deteriorated under Mr. Bowles’ administration, and that a general system of intimidation wouid deter men employed in the yard from giving testimuny before me adverse to Mr. Bowles. These, as I understood it, were the general allega- ticns against Mr. Bowles. Various Complainants. “They did not take the form of a charge or charges or specifications, nor were they all made by any one person, nor at any cne time. They appear only in the statements of various complainants and vitnesses during the progress of the investigation. No one appeared for the prosecution, to borrow a term for want of a better. The whole business of the investigation was left in my hands and at my etion, and was guided by me with the sole object in view of getting at the truth by any means which became available.” Commander Dav twenty-four _in- dividual complairents appeared _ before him, besides four who were brought for- ward by a committee of a veteran associa- tion on a charge of illegal discrimination against veterans of the civil war. He re- views the charges seriatum and at length, and concludes his report in the following words: “To sum up, I find from the evidence ad- duced that Mr. Bowles stands fully exon- erated on all the charges, imputations and allegations brought against him during the whole progress of the investigation conducted by me, except, possibly, in some degree, of the charge of undue influence on the part of foremen in selecting men for discharge, these latter being influenced by motives of personal preference and par- tiality. The Testimony Vague. “I have purposely qualified my finding in this one charge, because the testimony which supperts it is vague, and it would be a charge almost impossible to prove. It is shadowed in the evidence in several cases, rather than brought directly to light; but it rests principally on the testi- mony of Rear Admiral Sicard. As I re- member now, I sometimes thought he may have been quite rigid in maintaining his opinion with regard to the advisability of discharge in certain cases, and perhaps may have trusted teo much to the opinions or reports or recommendations of foremen, quartermen, and so forth. “ ‘But,’ to continue the quotation from the admiral’s testimony, ‘I did not, and do not, see how any head of a department can avoid trusting largely to the opinions of his leading afid master workmen re- garding the conduct and industry of the men employed immediately under them.’ “I find that the general efficiency of the construction department has greatly im- proved under Mr. Bowles’ administration. The testimony of Admiral Sicard and Com- modore Bunce, of Assistant Naval Con- structor Hibbs, Townshend B. Suddard and A. Nelson Batten, with the tabulated state- ments and figures adduced by the latter, is most significant and conclusive. Abuses of Long Standing. “I find that previous to Mr. Bowles’ ad- ministration a general laxity of discipline prevailed, even after the adoption of the labor regulations, and without any dispar- agement of the officers immediately pre- ceding Mr. Bowles, that abuses of long standing, not easy of eradication, still ex- erted a bad influence, in spite of the efforts at reform. I find that Mr. Bowles brougat to the accomplishment of complete reform an energy and fearlessness, a strict regard to economy and the best interests of the government, which in their degree are rare qualities even in such a position as his, and commendable as such. “I find that the influences with which he had to contend, some of which were malign and some of which were honest, were ar- rayed rather against the system which he really ina ted than against himself as an individual. Consistency, efficiency, economy, watchfulness of the public in- terests, a strict compliance with the de- partment’s orders of reform, have ex- cluded from the service Joseph O’Hearne, John Kane and Wesley Harran, and the extraneous dictation of Jesse B. Frest: but they have brought in many earnest and industrious men, working by hundreds in the well-ordered department of which Mr. Bowles is the head, who have not been heard in this investigation, but who speak, nevertheless, with more force than the few malcontents examined by me. Appeal for Old Regime. “I find that James Fay, too, voices this opposition to the new system in his elo- quent appeal for the old regime, and that his words, honestly uttered, are an admis- sion of a new fact which he cannot under- stand. To have accomplished what I be- Meve te be an important reform has beer no mean task, and if the leaders and fore- men who have been Mr. Bowles’ coadjutors have some of them been chosen from abroad it has been because the department has been thrown open to efficient men, and not because of any prejudice, or through any unworthy act of Mr. Bowles. Finally, to censure Mr. Bowles for any fact or deed which has been proved in evidence on this investigation would be to censure an officer for the strict and conscientious perform- ance of duty, ns “The investigation conducted by me ex- tended over a period of twenty days, and involved conaiderable expense. It also pro- duced, I believe, a demoralizing effect in its influence on the working force of the yard; but, if lt may be regarded as firal and the conclusions reached are just, I yenture to ress the hope that its results will be bent to the service.” Action of the Department. ‘The action of the Navy Department on | tell you why.

March 8, 1897. Do not endanger the life ov the following spirited memorandum, issued by Acting Secretary Roosevelt: “The department fully sustains the con- clusions of Commander Davis as to the charges against Mr. Bowles. In so far they relate to alleged political discrimina- tion, or the appointment of outside the retention of unworthy in preference to worthy men, these charges are not disproved, but are shown to rest upon noth. ing more substantial than malicious frivolous gossip, or else upon the belief of the less competent workmen that they, and not thelr superior officers, are the proper judges of their efficiency. The attention of Constructor Bowles will be especially called to that part of Commander Davis’ report warning him as to being sometimes over- harsh, and following too implicitly the re ommendations of leading men and quarter men; but it is evident that the real reason for the attacks upon Mr. Bowles is to be found, not in the fact that he has done bad- ly, but that he has done well. Compliments Mr. Bowles. “He has shown great energy and ca pacity in handling men: he has paid h solely to the needs of ‘he governm, and has scught to estad.ish a high of efficiency among the laborer yard; he has absolutely disregarded all political considerations in appointing and employing men, and the opposition to him evidently arises mainly from the fact that under him for the first time it has been impossible to procure -he rei retention of men guilty of 1: possessed political influenc: The evil of occasional harshness in Jiscivline is trivial compared with the evil of allowing men to shirk, or be guilty of other misconduc:, provided they have political influence; and it is because of his refusal to permit this that Mr. Bowles is attacked. “The standard of work in the Brooklyn navy yard has been very appreciably raised under Constructor Bowles. The complaints against him have now twice been investi- gated, once by me personally, and once at great length by Commander Davis. The widest latitude has been given to every- one who had any accusation whatsoever to make, and it is evident that there is no foundation whatever for these charges. There can be no possible excuse for any further investigation, and the case will not again be reopened. No Grounds for Complaint. “As regards the charges made by the veterans, it appears that there Is no ground whatsoever for complaint against Mr. Bowles, and the testimony of the wit- nesses produced tells very strongly in his favor, and incidentally shows that under the labor board scrupulous heed is paid to the rights of veterans. But in the depart- ment of yards and docks it does appear that Mr. Reed, a veteran, was discharged when Mr. Menocal admits that he was as good as the three non-veterans who wer retained. Mr. Reed will, accordingly, be reinstated, not because he has any legal claim, for he has none, but because it is the policy of the department, where men are equally good, to retain the veterans in case it is necessary to make a discharge. “The legal rights of the veterans have not only been carefully preserved by the Navy Department, but in its labor regula- tions it has gone very far beyond what the law requires in giving preference to veter- ans, having, indeed, gone to the very verge of the line which divides inefficiency from efficiency in the effort to do all that is pos- sible for the soldiers and sailors of the late war. In appointments from the lists the veterans are given an absolute pref- ence, and when discharged, if they have beLaved well—even though less well than the others—they are still given preference. Past the Prime of Life. “In consequence, the department at times has serious difficulty in getting its work dene, for some of the divisions are so crowded with veterans, now for the most part elderly men past their prime of life, that the work is in constant danger of de- terioration. All that saves the work from deterioration is rict obedience on the Part of the head of the division or bureau to the department's orders that in making discharges the men who do inefficient work shall invariably be discharged first. The sole test is the efficiency of the man’s work. To introduce any other test—to make, for instance, an allowance on behalf of a veteran for inefficient work—would speedily produce the most damaging effect upon the department, and would mean the Habiiity of causing, at any time, some great structural weakness or defect in the ships of war, to which the nation’s honor is in- trusted. Such a course is not to be con- templated for a moment, and will not be urged by any patriotic man. Rules Laid Down. “In giving preference to veterans’ in em- ployment so completely as we now give it, we have gone to the very verge of what the conditions of good administration will permit. In making discharges, it is abso- lutely necessary that they be made strictly in accordence with the degree of efficiency of the workmen. Where men are of equal efficiency, the veteran will be retained. Where there is a difference in efficiency, the most efficient man will be retained; and the efficiency must be determined, not by statements of interested parties, but by the dliberate judgment of the officers who are responsible for the work done, and whose interest guarantees that, though they may eceasionally ~make errors, on the whole they will undoubtedly retain the men most capable of doing that work.” —<—__ Very Ancient.
