NAVAL OFFICERS OK SHORE DUTY PAY.

IBY TELFGEAPH THE IRIBUNg
WAsEINGTON, March with regard to Senator
Sargcnt's bill for the transfer of the Life-Saying
Service TO the supervision Of the Secretary of the
Navy good deal of the pressure brought TO bear
in favor OF the change results not much from
the expected benefit to the country from the
needs of special class. The smainess of our navy
gives such small opportunities for the employment
of the large number of officers furnished by the
graduating classes at Annapolis upon sca-gcing DUTY
that many of our naval officers are necessarily
placed upon "sh0re duty" at tw0-thrds
of their regular pay, or upon waiting orders at one
third of their regular pay. The transfer OF the Life
Saving Service 10 the Navy Department would
enable the Secretary 10 employ many of these Off
upon full duty pay, and it is not therefore, 10
be wondered at that the gentlemen interested
ShOnd urge the transfer in question 10 the utmost
of their ability It is reported that ~ Il recent
Cabinet conucll, during which the matter was dig
cusscd, Secretary Thompson said that he would not
ald or CCuntenance any further pressure from ms
surbordHatcs for The change. II is very unlikely
