Secretary Whitney Ocders Over-ZeaIous
Partizsn Foremen Cleared Out of the
Mar Island Navy Yards
WASHINGTON, ID. c.. April 23.-Secre-
tary Whitney has written the following let
ter to Commodore John II. Russell, Com
maIida,it of tie Mare Island Navy Yard,
relative to the coercion of the vote of that
yard by tho foremen at the past election:
'Since assuming the duties of this Office my
attention has been called to the conduct of
the Mare Island Navy Yards in elections in
past years, particularly in 1882. After
reading the testimony in the contested cleo
tiOn case of Buck VS.. Dudley, taken in the
fall of 1888, there is no doubt
in my mind that the vote of
the yard WAS practically cOerced
and controlled by the foremen, either with
or without orders. The men were obliged
to take their ballots in folded form from
a table presided over by one or more of the
foremen, hold the ballot in sight while
walking to the polls one hundred feet dis
tant between men stationed for the purpose
of preventing any change of ballots on their
part and the ballot deposited without the
voter having had the opportunity to see or
know its contents or to exercise any choice.
| find that the same fOremen who con-
Quoted the proceedings are still at the yard
in the various departments. Great COLL
piaint Is made to me OF similar pro-
ceedings in other yards but have read suffi-
cient Of this SWORN testimony to satisfy me
that the men who were engaged in that pro-
ceeding as foreinen, directing and controll-
ing it should be cleared out of the yard in
the interest of decent government and IL
any similar proceeding or anything like it
or any attemyt TO cOerce the vote of the
employees Of the yard by fOremen or su-
perior officers should take place
hereafter, whether in the interest
OF the dominant party or otherwise,
will apply similar remedy. AP
pointments in the place of the persons dis
charged will be made temporarily and upon
tria! until efficient men shall have been OBJ
tanned. In this connect OH desire to say
that the bureau officers here complain
greatly of the delays and the extraordinary
expense required to do work az the Mare
Island Navy Yard. ask your special at
tention to these matters in the hope that
YOU will cooperate with me in the effort To
bring the yard to greater efficiency and

AT meeting of rich and influential
land owners in London recently. which
was attended by the Duke of Argyle.
the Earl of Carnarvon and the Marquis
of Ripon, it was resolved to take steps
for the immediate formation of large
corporation, to be called the National
Land Company, for the purpose of
securing a gradual breaking up of the
'.large parcel system of land owner
ship. now injuriously prevalent in Great
Britain. The present plan of the new
organization is to buy up land at
wholesale and sell it out in lots not to
exceed forty acres under conditions
likely to cause further subdivision and
prevent the aggregation of titles. The
company will in all likelihood buy for
cash, and sell on deferred payments
covering at least ten years.

somewhat resembling those of cholera.

persons who influence public opinion to dc
nounce the whole system of appointing
shoemakers and tailors and persons of other
crafts as examiners in departments in which
their skill is of no value. We insist
that this public exposure proves the
wisdom, of the men working in the build
ing traces, and demonstrates that their pol

well as with the industrial progress and Sc
curity Buddensick should be prevented
from doing business in the building trads
