REORGANIZING THE NAVY.
The Construction of Ships and the Pur-
chase of Supplies.

Naval officers are anxiously. awaiting the re-
turn of Secretary Tracy from Norfolk to see
just how far he is going to carry out his EVIL
dent policy of reforming the methods in vogue
in the naval administration. The resignation
of the paymaster general the other day was
somewhat of shock to those within the official
neighborhood and speculation is rife as to the
results to follow. The appointment of sue
cessor to Commodore Fulton will give some
what of an indication of the intentions of the
Secretary, for he will probably select or cause
to be selected an officer of the pay corps who
is of his way OF thinking in the matter Of how
the supplies should be purchased for the main
tenance of the navy and the construction Of
the new ships. The enemies of the new sys-
tenn of consolidated accounts are now making
bold to come forward and endeavoring to show
up Its uselessness.
IN OPEN MARKET.
They say that the old plan of purchases by
yearly contracts and by frequent purchases in
open market would tend to cheaper rates and
quicker service. The provision of the law that
all advertisements for supplies for the navy
must be continued for period of thirty DAVIS
Is generally regarded unnecessary and obso-
lete, fitted for a period when communication
was dlfhcult and SLOW and not for time when
information can be flashed all over the country
IN a few hours. But no change can be made
ill this particular without an amendment to the
statutes. There has always been a suspicion
that the old system of open purchases and yearly
contracts tended to great dishonesty in the
transaction of the public business. and much
has been said and written at times about rings
and thefts and dishonest commissions, to the
scandal of the entire government service. The
memory of this time will probably operate
against any radical changes i'll the present sys-
tenn and may thwart what is supposed to be
Secretary Tracy's desire to adopt some plan by
means Of which the work on the rebuilding of
the navy may be conducted without the long
delays that are now encountered.

peais that section Of the statutes which gives to

A Castle Garden Romance.

Among the passengers on the Scandal, which
arrived in New York yesterday, were Hertwig
Engenbrunde, aged twenty, her sister Mare,
aged thirty and Hermann Willis. They came
from Germany. The trio were detained at
Castle Garden on account of the possibility of
some OF them being likely to become public
charge. The man and the younger of the two
women are lovers and came to this country to
get married. During the voyage the elder sis
ter interfered and the girl broke of the en-
gagement. The man has farm in Minnesota
and has just returned from visit to the
fatherand, where he fell in love with the girl
He consented to bring along the elder sister
and is now sorry for ii. The elder sister is
said to be wild and careless The younger
girl has possession of Hermann's jewelry and
clothing and will not return them. The COM
missioners of emigration will be called upon to
settle the difficulty. 1t is probable that the
matter will end in a marriage and that the
elder sister will be returned to Germany.

John O'Brien's Sickness

John ]. OBrien, the republican leader of the
eighth New York district was taken in a car
riage on Wednesday last to a hotel on Coney
Island owned by his son-in-law. At that time
It was feared that he was about to die. He had
been unable to eat or sleep for a week. His
son, Joseph O'Brien. accompanied him and has
nursed him ever since, and DIR. Dumon has
been in daily attendance. Dr. Dumon saws Mr..
O'Brien is suffering from no disease. He has
been working too hard; that's all. All he wants
is careful nursing, nourishing food and plenty
of rest. 1t would have required but little more
OF the hard gait at which he was going to bring
ON heart failure or something of the kind"
Mr.. O'Brien was up yesterday and spent an
hour on the hotel piazza. When asked how he
was he said: I've simply got tired out, but I'll
be around again in ten days"

in the senate and chamber of deputies yester-

support the government if its policy was liberal
The chamber of deputies, by a vote of 31S to
Is, expressed confidence in the government.
The statement shows that the synopsis given
out yesterday did not fully cover it. 1t saws
that the government will vigorously defend re-
publican institutions and the entire democratic
work OF its predecessors. 1t appeals cordially
to all sections Of the republican party. Its OBJ
ject will be to effect union of all the republi-
can forces and exclude none

COnrubial Perplexities In Canada.

A lively discussion took place in the senate
at Ottawa yesterday on Mr.. Almon's bill legal
izing marriage with deceased sisters child.
Mr.. Bellerose took the ground that the fed
eral parliament had no right under the British
North America act to legislate upon the
subject of marriage, and that at the
time of the conferation distinct promise was
given to Quebec that the marriage laws of that
province should be left untouched He there
fore moved the addition to the bill of substi-
tute providing that such marriage would be
legal in cases where no law relating to con-
sanguinity is violated. The amendment was
rejected and the bill was read the third time on

But il is not alone in numbers that the great
increase Of advertising is shown. The larger
space required for advertisements during the
year 1889 as compared with that occupied in
1855 is even more striking.
The average daily space filed by advertise
ments in 1888 was rs. 10 columns, or 777s columns
for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily
average was 1915 columns, or s22s columns in

RECREATION ABROAD.
How the European Working Glasses
Enjoy Themselves.

at is an odd thing how some Europeans look
upon the matter of recreation" said Capt Philip
Hichborn of the navy, who spent several weeks
abroad studying the ship yards Of other ma
tons to STAR reporter the other day. I'm
Glasgow there are always two and sometimes
three weeks every year when it is utterly i'm
possible to get any sort of work done. Every
body takes a holiday. The shops are mostly
closed, the dram shops are closed, and the
streets present the appearance of a gala day.
There is not a stroke of any description done
during the entire period, and you can't find
men willing to work. They are taking their
annual rest. When this is over they hav'nt
cent and they start over again The same
thing happens in st. Petersburg. There are
these weeks of holiday occurring all winter
long and all over the country. They have ice
palaces and carnivals and all sorts of sports,
nobody thinking Of work. They are a strange
lot, anyway, all looking alike, with their fiat
hats and their long hair 1t is almost impossi-
BILE for foreigner to tell them apart Here
you can recognize your hackidriYer or your cab
man without any trouble, but there they seem
to be cast in the same mold, and it is often very
provoking to find that you do not know where
your man is and when you find him you are
not sure whether 1t is he or some one else.''
