REITER's DISGRACE.
Secretary Tracy Sits Down Him |
Harder Than Ever.

Secretary Tracy Sits Down on Him
Harder Than Ever.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Secretary
Tracy has written letter to Commander
Reiter, who was censured for his action
in the Barrundia affair, denying the re-
quest for court-martial, and telling him
that the department regards his case as
finally disposed of.
The secretary says in part: "You
state that the departments action In
your case constitutes public reprimand
and that this punishment can only be
legally inflicted by the sentence OF the
naval general court-martial. Your
statements show that you are
ignorant of the first prin-
ciples of naval discipline. The
assumption that the secretary of the
navy cannot pronounce rebuke,
public or private, upon an officer for
breach of discipline or failure of per-
formance of duty without obtaining the
sanction of a court, is an unheard-of
proposition. The department impair
tally awards praise or blame to an
officer who deserves one or the other, as
the occasion may arise, and the practice
is as old as the department ITSELF"
The secretary also reminds the COM
mander that he was not censured with
out being heard, as he (the secretary
granted him a personal interview, dur
ing which he was given the fullest OPP
portunity to make any statement.

an opinion as to whether the tariff act
authorizes the commissioner of internal
revenue to issue the licenses therein
provided for, prior to April 1. 1891, and

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-While it is inn

the silver bill which passed the senate,
it is intimated very broadly by gentle
men who have conversed with him on
the subject, that he is very much dis
satisfied with the measure in its pres
ent shape, and will certainly veto it un-
less it undergoes a material modi6ca-
tion before submitted to him for action.
He is in entire accord with Secretary
Window on the subject, and the latter's

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 16.-In the senate
yesterday Seawell offered a resolution
asking that as the twenty-seven Repub-
licans had clerks at $5 a day, the twelve
Democrats ought to have twelve clerks
at So per day. The resolution was re-
ferred to Senator Heacock, who
this morning presented re-
port, stating that at the last

ators had forty-nine clerks at rs per day,
and as but twelve Democrats had been
returned, it was deemed advisable to
indefinitely postpone Seawell's resolu-
ton. The report was adopted. s

fixing the postmaster's salary at 81 per
day, and providing for an assistant at
the same salary. The bill was finally
passed.

section of the civil code relative to be-
nevolent and religious corporations.

dred days.

THE JUDICIARY Committees.
The judiciary committees of the SEN
ate and house met in joint
session this evening. The worlds
fair bill, authorizing the COVER
nor to appoint seven commissioners
and also providing for an appropriation
of $500, 900 was discussed. The bill
conflicts with the constitution, which
provides that no appropriation shall be
made by the state, except for state in
stitutions. M. M. Estee was present and
argued that if the governor appointed
commissioners they became state Off
