Darlington, son Of that Lord Caring
ton who. during ten years of conten-
ton. from lS4S to 1858. voted against
the bill admitting Lord RothSchild's
father, Baron Lionel, to the House Of
Commons. Several peers who fought
in the latter period'against Tory bigotry
were present to see the revenge that

In the gallery were the proud and
happy faces of Lady RoSebery, Lady
Rothschild, Lady Anthony de RothS-
child. Miss Alice de RothSchld. Baron
Ferdinand de Rothschild, and Mr..
Alfred de Rothschild, who watched
the proceedings. The oath was taken
with great solemnity on a Hebrew

WASInNGTON, July l0.-The Sec
rotary Of the Navy purposes etIecting
an entire reorganization of the nine Gov
eminent nayy-vards not later than next
fall. An investigation looking to this end
has been in progress for some weeks.
Committees at various yards have been
examining books and papers covering a
period Of ten years. These commit
tees have been and are being assist
ed by special commissioner sent
from the Navy Department. Reports are
to be sent to Washington and compare
with the books here. The object Of in
vestigation is to learn whether or not
the books will agree with the accounts
in the Department at Washington. 1t
is intimated that already a discovery
has been made that the books at the
Department show that certain mate
rials which ought to be on hand in one
Of the yards cannot be found. At
Marc-lSlard navy-yard, California, the
investigation will be most thorough, be-
cause of reports Of needless eXpendi-
lures of money az that place. The Sec
retary has been furnished with the
names Of a number Of persons who say
that they car give evidence Of fraud in

tigation of the repairs of vessels IN all

cer to-day who IS acquainted with Sec
Ietary Whtney'S intention. 1T is
useless to order an investigation, he
replied. Money has been spent IN
some cases recblesSly, but it cannot be
recovered. At one yard Mare Island
large amounts in past years have been
expended OH repairs. That yard IS a
great distance from Washington, and
the officers have seemed to feel that
that they could act with impnnity.
have heard il said that rot
ten wood has been placed in
vessels being repaired that they might
soon be returned for additional repair.
Little more than three years ago the
Pensacola was condemned at Mare
Island yard. She was brought to the
Atlantic and sent on a three years
cruise, and only recently received the
repairs that the officials in California
said were necessary when she was there.
Charges are higher at Mare Island
than in private yards on the Pacific
coast. The coast survey official had a
vessel taken there for repairs. She
needed but little work, yet the Mare
Island officials wanted $4,000. The
work was performed by private COM
psny for sl,500.'
In the proposed reorganization the
Secretary will manage to dispense with
the services Of many bosses. The yards
are full Of master this and master that,
and they all get - day whether they
work or not. Four hours is a day S
work in some instances. 4 sail-maker
went from Boston TO one of the yards
and began working eight hours a day.
