THE NAVY YARD DISCHARGES.
Prospect that All the Men Will %
Eventually Taken Back.

1t is thought very likely that the entire force
OF workmen recently discharged from tie
Washington navy yard will be taken back
eventually. but it will be at least from four
to six months before the contem-
plated work is well under way,
and no appointments will be made in the near
future. The officers there now are en-
gagged in preparin, nlans for beginning
the Secretary .. III Navy, the first
necessity being the buildings in which the
work is to be done. Some of the shops Will oe
used as they are some will be remodeied, and
probably new buildings will be erected before
the ordnance work can he commenced.
The first appointments will therefore be con-
fined to builders, but the discharged workmen
will be taken back as the work progresses, pref
erence being given to old employees.
