COMMISSIONER RATES SAT UPON.

Washington, Dec. ii lSpeciaD.-W. W. Rates. the
Commissioner OF Navigation has gotten into trouble
again through his soaring ambition to dictate In his
annual reports the whole commercial political and
legislative policy of the Government Last year he
issued voluminous compendium Of his views on current
politics and legislation in which he pointed out to
the Secretary OF the Treasury 10 the President and TO
Congress lust what laws to the general
welfare and although Mr. Window did not relish
many of the suggestions Of his subordinate the report
was eottsn into print aud circulated throughout the
country This year the Treasury Department officials
tried 10 suppress Nh Bates, and order was issued
recurring all reports 10 be submitted 10 Secre
tary Foster before publication. Mr.. Bates, however.
gave out last week full summary OF another ex
traornary report covering the whole field Of
and political economy. Acting Secretary Nettleon was
much chagrned to the abstract in print and sent
for Mr. Batess report. This was found to DO a manu-
script over 10000 words in length and after cursory
review Of IT, Mr. Netteton returned it with order TO
have it reduced half This action puts Mr.. Bates
practically under the OF the Department. and IL
is said that Secretary Foster when he returns, will
inquire further why his order in regard to bureau
reports was coolly ignored by the Commissioner Of
Navigation Mr. Bates's abridged edition OF his report
is due time next week.
