NAVAL OFFICIALS SURPRISED
The Nomination of Paymaster General
Looker-Mr. Hayes His Friend.

The nomination of Pay Director Thomas
LOCKER to be paymaster general OF the navy,
which was sent to the Senate yesterday, was
rather surprise to naval people. 1t was known
that he was a candidate, but nearly everybody
was anticipating the selection of Pay Inspector
Stewart, with Pay Director Gilbert Thornton a
good second The general impression is that
the appointment was brought about by means
of the friendship between LOCKER and ex-
President Hayes, who is said to have once
offered the position to him while in the White
House. LOCKER declined the appointment
on the ground that Pay Director Cutter,
who had only year or SO to serve, should
receive the appointment by virtue of his posi-
tion at the head OF the corps. Upon Cutters
retirement some one else appointed and
it appeared as though Lockers chances had
gone by. He has eighteen months TO serve ON
the active list of the navy.

Busy Over Their Bill.

The republicans Of the ways and means COM

day. They have restored hides and raw silk
to the free list, but no change has been made
in sugar or wool The great fight is now
over the sugar question, though there
are "a hundred and one" other little items to
annoy them. 1t is believed that there will have
to be some change in the sugar schedule from
that first announced. The sugar men are grow
ing confident. for some reason, and express
the opinion that the cut will not be below 25
per cent. The committee will probably 20
