1t is stated that the stamp aocoun. Of the
Internal Revenue BurSau during the term
Of Commissioner Rollins has not been add
iusted up to this date, and millions of dol
lars have been lost to the government in
consequence. The accounts were so mixed.
that expert clerks have been unable to
straighten them. An old ledger was found
during Secretary Delano's administration of
the bureau. from which it was discovered
that numerous collectors and stamp agents
were debtors to the amount of thousands Of
dollars A number Of these we're forced to
settle up, and suits are pending against
others. 1t is but just to state, in this con-
nection. that Commissioner Delano's stamp
accounts were completely settled when he
left the bureau, and Acting Commissioner
Douglass assumed charge Of the bureau with
clean books.

THE SUEZ CANAL,

From the n. Y Times.
The inclination shown by shippers of tea
from China to New York to avail themselves
of the new route by way of Suez, renders
any prospect of Improvement in the canal a
matter of interest. Despite the undoubted
grandeur of the achievement, there were at
the time of its opening certain drawbacks in
the insufficient depth of water, the narrow
ness of the channel, and the too great sharp
ness of the turns. The perseverance dis
played, both by the company and the
Egyptian Government, is highly ereditable
TO them, and will, it may be hoped, eventu-
ally insure the improvement which the canal
needs.
A correspoGden of a foreign paper who
recently passed though the canal in steamer
drawing 199 feet of wafer, $40 feet long, and
of 14l4 tons burden, writes in satisfactory
terms of its present condition, while admit
ting that much remains to be accomplished
before it can be considered as completed
highway between the Mediterranean and Red
Seas. The vessel in which he took passage
from Suez was detained six hours at the
entrance to permit the downward exit of two
steamers from Alexandria, and this at once
suggests the absolute necessity of frequent
''sidings," so as to obviate the necessity of
similar delays in future Although the
published charts indicate places

A SUGGESTION ABOUT THE NAVY.

A SUGGESTION ABOUT The NAVY.
From the NJ Y. Sun.
A few years ago it was the custom of the
British Admiralty to prepare and present to
Parliament carefully collected statistics in
regard to the discipline on English ships of
war. That practice has, it seems, now been
abandoned, and this fact has subjected the
Admiralty to severe criticisms from the Eng
lish journals.
II appears that these statistics brought out
rather strongly the contrast between ships of
good discipline and ships of bad discipline;
rather too strongly indeed for the pleasure
and comfort of some officers even among the
higher grades of the service. So the dis
agreeable publication was stopped The
British press think it ought to be continued;
and, as far as we can judge for others, so do
we. But the discussion on the subject fur
nishes us in this country with Q valuable sug-
gestion for ourselves. Would not similar
system of statistics concerning the vessels of
the United States Navy be beneficial in aiding
to remove some of the evils which certainly
exist?
The English reports were so arranged as to
show the state of discipline on each particu-
lar ship, and in such way that accurate
comparisons of the results as to the respec-
tive vessels could readily be made. 1t was
found, for instance, that while on the best
ships theSratio of punishments, per 1000 of
mean strength, for insubordination, theft,
and Drunkenness was indicated by cipher
the ratio on the worst ships for those three
otfenses respectively was 417'91, 1916, and
3S2'35. What a contrast
The compiler of these statistics we'll says
that there is, perhaps, no part of the train
| ing of young naval officer of more import
ance to the future well-being of the service
than that which teaches him how best to
command and manage large bodies of men
with the least amount of punishment" Let
us see how such reports, if intelligently acted
upon, could assist the authorities of our own
| navy In securing such officers.
They would soon indicate that these de-
sirable characteristics were wanting in the
| personnel of some ships, and largely pre-
| dominant on others. Where the discipline
was ascertained to be very poor, the defect
in the officers would be found to extend to a
majority of them; and the desirable qualities
| would distinguish most of those serving upon
ship remarkable for its good discipline and
the consequent infrequeney of punishment.
From the latter class it would be advisable to
| select the instructors at the Naval Academy,
| and the commanders and officers of the school
ships. Those of the other class, whom ex-
perience proved incompetent to maintain
any but the poorest discipline, could be de-
tailed on duty where their authority over
| others would be comparatively limited; while
| by judicious arrangement of a ships Off
GERS, in which few poor disciplinarians were
placed in company with a majority of thor
| oughly competent men, inefhcieney in the
matter of discipline would eventually be
weeded out
