THE COAST survey.

The work of the Coast and Geodet.e
Survey was, during the last fiscal year,
carried on within the boundaries and of
the coast of thirty two States. two Ter
riUOries and the District of Columbia.
In July last, certain irregularities were
found 10 exist in the management OF
this bureau, which led to a prompt in
Testigation OF its methods. The abuse
which were brought TO light by this
examination and reckless disregard OF
duty, and the interests of the govern
ment develop ID on the part of some
of those connected wi b the service,

Since the bureau has been in new hands,
an introduction OF economies and the
application of Blu mess methods have
PRODUCED an important saving 70 the
government and a promise OF more
useful results. This serYice has never
been regulated bv anything tut the
most ind fin te le al enactments and
the most unsatisfactory rules. It was
many years ago sanctioned, appare lily
for q purpose regarded as temporary
and related to survey Of our coast.
Having gained a place in the appro-
priaton made by Congress, it has
gradually taken to itself powers
and objects not contemplated 10
its creation and extended its operations
until it sadly needs legislative attention.
So far as further survey of our coast

SIGNAL SERVICE.

The work of the Signal Service has
been prosecuted during the last year
with the results of increasi g benefit to
the country. The field of instruction
has been enlarged with u view of adding
to its usefulness. The number of sta
tons in OperationJ une 30,h 1885, was 4S9.
Telegraphic reports are received daily
from 100 stations. Reports are also re-
ceived from IS Canadian stations, 375
volunteer observers, % army surgeons
at military posts and 1913 foreign sta
tions. The expense of the service during
the fiscal year, after deducting the re-
ceiptS from military telegraph lines,
fias $797 ,592. 97-100. In view of the fact
referred to by the Secretary of War, that
the work of this service ordinarily is of
a scientific nature and the further fact
that it is assuming larger proportions
constantly and becoming more and
more unsuited to fixed rules which
must govern the army, l am inclined
to agree with him in the opinion that
it should be separately established. II
this is done. the scope and extent of its
operations shOuld,as nearly as possible,
be definitely prescribed by law, and al
ways capable of exact ascertainment.

MILITARY ACADEMY.


The Military Academy of West Point
is reported as being in high state of
efficiency, and well equipped for the
satisfactory accomplishment OF the pnr-
poses of its maintenance The fact hat
the class which graduates next year is
an unusually large one, has constrained
me to decline to make appointments to
second lieutenancies in the army from
civil life, so that such vacancies as exist
in these places may be reserved for such
graduates, and vet it Is not probable
that there will be enough vacancies to
provide positions for them all when they
leave the military school.
Under the prevailing law and usage,
those not thus assigned TO duty, never
actively nter the military service. 1t
is suggested that the law on this subject
be changed SO thatsuch of those young
men as are not at once assigned to duty
after graduation, may be retained as
second lieutenants in the army if they
desire il. subject to assignment, when
opportunity occurs, under proper rules,

lures on account of the military
academy, for The last fiscal year, exclu-
sive of the sum taken for its purposes

port of the army. were so, 712.07.
The act approved March Sd, 1885, de-
signed to compensate officers and en-
listed men for the loss of private prop
erty while in the service of the United
States, is so indefinite in its terms, an
apparently admits so many claims, the
adjustment of which could not have
been contemplated, that if it is to re-
main on the statute. books 1t needs
amendment. AZ - ~ f-4-4L go.

STEAMBOAT INSPECTION SERVICE.
The Steamboat Inspection service, on
the Goth day of June, 1885, was COM
Dosed of 40 persons, including officers,
clerks and messengers. The expense of
the service over the receipts .were $780,
S22 ,. During the hscal year, the
special inspection of foreign vessels or
gained under the law passed in 1882,
was maintained during the year at an
ornense of 1856, 1850. Since the close
OF the fiscal year, reductions have been
made in the force employed, which will
resultin a saving during the current
wear OF $1,000, without affecting the
efficiency of the service.
