Mr.. WALLACE was recently vice-Presi-

believe, resigned that Office only when he

scarcely call this doubtful question. 1t

How the Money is wasted.

resentatves on naval contracts and pu,
ohases have o. ,ich field for invcstigai' on In
the Pureau of Steam Englneorip. Z and the
Bureau OF Construction and p.epairs Of the
Navy Department. These two bureaus
annually suck up m9dy millions of the
peoples money. Meanwhile the navy
continues to b. u collection OF old rattle
traps.
How the money goes.iis shown by the
fncts brought out I'm the investigation of he
circumstances of the sduanderug of S72,0lO

ment. This device for swindlug the peo-
pie out of their money is an utterly worth
less thing. II is used i'm no other navy. 1t
n applied to none of the boilers OF the
great steamship lines. whose managers are
quick toavail themselves OF every valuable
Invention that insurcs safety or brings
shout economy and it is laughed Mt by all
competent steam engineers. WIZARD could
90 nothing with the concern elsewhere,
but he found little difficulty IN getting
BEcoR RoBEsoN to buy twenty four of his
useless boiler attachments. or these,
Chief Engineer WOOD was obliged to ac-
knowledge on Tuesday, only eight have
sver been in actual use. Yet WIZARD i'm
mediately got the money for all. 1t was
paid before the Board of Engineers had
reported upon the value of the patent,
though the law expressly forbids any such
payment in advance of the fling OF the
report
Thus $4,000 was wantonly wasted. In
manner that plainly Indicated corrupt

was paid for them contrary To law, tor

adverse report by the Board of Engineers

This single revelation is enough TO CON
denim the whole administration of the
