TO INVESTIGATES the Pension once.
They DoD't Like soiey's Appointments

They DoD't Like Soley's appointment.
WASHINGTON, July 17.-When the news
was formally announced at the navy de-
partment that Secretary Tracy had ap-
pointed Professor J. r. Soley as his assist
ant secretary without consulting naval Off
cials or even giving them the slightest in
timation of his purpose, there was a very
audible and distinct whisper of condemna-
ton discernible. Little groups of disaps
pointed and disgruntled line officers gath
cred in various parts of the department
discussing the all absorbing topic.
The duties of the chief of the bureau Of
navigation-a line ofiicer-being next in
position to the secretary are varied, and
among other duties he is called upon to act
as secretary of the navy when the latter is
absent from the city.
This is looked upon by naval men as a
great concession to them, and in that posi-
tion the regulars have received many
advantages. Now, however, the assistant
secretary will naturally act in the secre-
tary's absence, and both being civilian
officers, it will be a rare occurrence when a
line officer is again called upon to act as
the head of the navy department. The
line officers were confident that the secre-
tary would select some Que from the serv-
ice for this position, hence they are greatly
chagrined and disappointed over the secre-
tary's choice.

Mr. BreclSinridge Says He and Col. Clay

Slept Together-He Scores Judge sIo-
Clure-Business of senate and House.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE elections
committee of the house held a special ses-
sion TO hear Representative Bre ckinridge
(Ark.) and Judge John Mcclure make
the concluding arguments in the Clayton
Breckenridge contested election case. Mr.
Breckenridge read an elaborate brief pre-
pared by his attorneys, Messrs Garland
and May, in which the case was reviewed
In reference to the murder Of Col. Clayton
the brief states that no pains had been
spared by Mr.. BreclSinridge and the state
authorities TO bring about the conviction
Of the murderers Mr. Breckenridge gave
narrative Of his relations with Col Clay
ton. He had been on the most friendly
terms with him and during the canvass
ihey had frequently slept together
His Efforts 20 Ayenge the Murder.
Mr. Breckinridge detailed the efforts
made.to bring the murderers Of Clayton to
justice. The rewards offered by the state
and secured by private contribution had
aggregated $1,000 lie had contributed
slO0 to the fund. Speaking Of the theft Of
the ballot box from Plummerville pre-
cinct Mr.. Breckinridge said that he be-
lieyed the box was stolen by Republicans.
The box had not been stuffed He and the
people of the state had bent every energy
to prosecute the men that Judge Mcclure
seemed to think they did not want to
prosecute.
Judge Mcclure Scored.
Judge Mcclure, he said, could not get a
lawyer of standing in Arkansas to indorse
him for the circuit judgeship against JUS
tiee Caldwell Mr.. Breckenridge said that
he had proven that a majority of the votes
in the Plummerville ballot box had been
cast for him. He contended that many
negroes voted for him and then testified
that they had not.
The members of a negro club had voted
for him. If the committee were going to
unseat him they would do him no political
harm if they did it in a spirit Of meanness.
Let them put him out in a proper manner
and stop the political wrangle that had
been going on.
win They Unseat Him?
After a brief recess Judge Mcclure ad-
dressed the committee He held that ac-
cording 10 the Arkansas election law Clay
ton was elected by a majority of 81, while
under a rule of the house (which he thought
the proper gauge) Clayton should I've cred
