this case is whether that portion of section .
of the act of congress of March 3, 1875, al
lowing naval officers 10 cents per milo for

abroad and by sea. Graham, IN officer of the

10, 1879. The court below gave him
$i63.4O lSGl3.40 minus $3.50, holding him to
he entitled TO 10 cents per mile under section
2 of the act of March 3, 1885.
This court says we are unable to distinguish
this case in principle from that of the United
States against Temple 105 u. S. 81, in which
ii was decided that an officer Of the navy
who, while engaged in public business, tray
elod under orders by land or sea, not being
in public vessel of the United States, was
entitled, under tho act Of June 30, 1876 to
mileage at the rate Of cents a mile for the
