WASHINGTON, October 6.-The Navy
Department has as yet taken 10 steps
to prosecute the defauiting Paymasters
Of the Navy, eight in number, who
we're several months ago reported by
the accounting officers Of the Treasury
as defaulters to the amount In the ag-
gregate Of over $1,000 900. None Of
these Paymasters have been deprived
of their liberty, and no steps have been
taken to collect the amount Of their
bonds which in no case exceed $25,-
900. It Is reported, however, that the
Solicitor Of the Navy Department has
all the papers necessary to begin suits,
and legal measures will at once be
taken, not only against the Paymasters
but their bondsmen also.
The law Of Congress providing for
the reduction Of a number Of supernu-
merry army officers, by the payment OF
a years salary by the Government to
all who may voluntarily resign, Is
found to work admirably. 1t Is ascer-

ment that since the last Army Register
was issued, the army has been reduced
BY the resignation Of lsS officers, most
Of these having resigned to avail them
selves Of the privilege granted BY the
law In question.
