NO FAVORITISM IN THE NAVY.
Secretary Tracy's First General Order.


Secretary Tracy to-day promulgated his first
general order. 1t is cheering news to naval Of
ficers who are without extraneous influence in
Washington, it is intended to prevent the
exercise of favoritism in the assignment of pay
officers to ships and stations. The order reads
as follows:
Hereafter, when practicable, pay directors
and pay inspectors shall be assigned to duty in
charge Of all navy pay offices and as general
store keepers at the following named navy
yards: Portsmouth, Boston, New York, League
Island, Washington, Norfolk, Mare Island, and
at the Naval academy. In addition to these
duties pay inspectors shall, in accordance with
general order No. 22S, dated August 1, 1877, be
assigned to duty as feet paymasters. A feet
paymaster shall be allowed to each flagship.
when practicable, paymasters shall be as
signed to duty at the following-named yards
and stations: Boston, New York. League Island,
Naval Home, Washington, Norfolk, Mare ISL
and, Naval academy and as commissary at the
Naval academy, to the coast survey Office, to
all receiving ships and to vessels of the second
rate when not commissioned flag ships.
Passed assistant and assistant paymasters shall
be assigned. when practicable, to vessels of the
third and fourth rates, and to duty at the fol-
lowing-named places: New London, Newport,
Key West. Pensacola, Yokohama, Japan; to the
steamer Michigan, to store ships, to coast sur
vey vessels, to training ships, to fish commits
sion vessels, and as assistant to pay officers of
the higher grades when needed. Officers of
lower rank at present holding positions in con-
fct with the general order viii be relieved as
early as practicable by those of the required
rank"
This order is generally regarded as fore
runner of others of similar character affecting
bOtn the staff and line of the navy, where It
frequently occurs that through favoritism Of
fcers Of an inferior rank are assigned to inn
portant duties, requiring the supervision of
officers of higher grades and longer experience
The order has created quite a sensation in the
Navy department..
