NAVAL RATIoNs FOR THE MARINE CoRps.-
Secretary Tracy has decided that the laws
shall be so construed as to allow the naval ra-
ton to the marine corps instead Of the army
ration, which has been given for years past
The main difference between the two is in the
valuation placed upon the rations. the naval
being counted as worth 80 cents a day and the
army 25 cents. This will allow the marine
more latitude in the exchange Of equivalents.
