TRACY ANSWERS SOME QUESTIONS.
The Secretary Gives the House Informa-
ton as to Kittery Navy Yard


ton as to Kittery Navy Yard.
WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 2s-The score
tary of the navy sent to the house yester-
day reply to the house resolution
adopted Aug 8, directing him to inform
the house of the necessity of increasing
the force employed at the Kittery navy
yard, near Portsmouth, n. H., as ordered
by the department; whether the interests
of the public service require the recon-
struction of the buildings there destroyed
by fire, etc. The secretary says that the
increase in the force il made to perform
work specifically ordered by congress;
work that could not be done previous to
July / because there was no appropria
ton; work that is necessary, and that the
exigencies of the climate would not per-
NIT to be delayed until the middle of Sep
tember
Political Aspect of the Query.
As to the question which was the pith
of the resolutions, and the cause of their
doption-whether the contemplated en-
ployment of an increased force at this
yard at this time is or is not intended to
affect the approaching congressional cleo
tions in Maine, rather than to su bserve
the public interests-the secretary says
that this in direct terms asks the head of
an executive department whether he has
or has not been guilty of gross abuse of
power in public administration, and re-
plies as follows: 81 deem it proper, in
terms equally direct, to deny that the con
,emplated employment of such increased

feet the approaching election in Maine
rather than to subserve the public inter-
ests, or that any increase of force at any
time has been or will be made by the navy
department, under its present admins.
ton, for the purpose of influencing an
approaching election, or for the purpose
of electing or defeating any particular
candidate.
No Postponement on Account of Politics.
"And have the honor to add that the
navy department, while pursuing steadily
this policy, does not propose that the
progress of public work directed by law,
and by law committed to its charge, shall
be interrupted or postponed by the occur
renee of an election, or that it shall be de-
TERED from the performance of what it
believes to be its duty by any fear that
unjust and unfounded suspicious may call
In question the motives of its action"
