Bill for stopping the Distribution
of Prize Money
A Washington special says Repre-
sentative Willis, of New York, intro-
duced a bill to-day providing for the
repeal of all law authorizing the pay
IN mt of prize money to oific rs and
men in the navy who may be engaged
in the capture OF any vessel or any
other lawful prize. This bill is founded
on thu theory that the distribution oi
money is a relic of past ages and de
moraiIzing TO the naval service. Should
a similar principle he recommended j n
tho army, Mr.. Willis says it would
con YER the soldiers lnto organized
brigands. He believed that the money
is seldom equitably distributed, and
thought there were always a certain
number of officers and men who,
without their own fault, are sc de-
tailed that they don't share in the dis
tribution. He thinks in some cases
tliat the hope of the taking of prize
money has caused delay in taking i'm
portant ports and has been strongtemp
tations Tor c~ommandants of fleets u
lie outside such ports in hopes of cap
turing IL prize which they would mo-
secure should they attack the place al
once.
