ENTITLED TO FULL PAY.
Decision of the Court of Claims Kegardin
Clerks ON Sick Leave.

Clerks Sick Leave.
The Court of Claims today decided a case of
interest to government employees involving the
right Of clerks to full pay during sick leave
The cases under consideration were the petitions
Treasury Department. and Mrs Clara II.
Emory, an employee of the War Department.
The former case was the one primarily in
point though the two were practically identi-
cal. The amounts involved were compare
lively small.
The petitioners claimed for full salaries
during periods Of sickness. taking them away
from their desks beyond the sixty days leave
allowed by law. Substitutes were employed in
their places and paid out of their salaries
They claimed that they were entitled TO the
full salaries. as their Secretaries had waived the
right to dismiss them when their sickness ex-
tended beyond the sixty day period.
Judge Davis delivered the opinion of the
court, dsmissng the petitions. He re-
viewed the state of the law in the premises, de-
Gliding that it is the undoubted right of a head
of department to dismiss IN employe who has
been absent from Office beyond the specified
time.
The employment Of substitute, he added.
was in the nature OF a compromise with the
clerk, middle stage between a return to
work and discharge. In many cases. not
to mention the extreme hardship that
might DO wrought by dismissal, the
government would be the loser, as the sick
clerk might be Of great value owing to long
experience in the service.
In the present cases, however, the petitioners
had accepted their partial sa.aries-the re-
mainder after tho substitutes were
paid - without protest, and this, in
the opinion OF the court. compromised
their claims for recovery. inasmuch as they
had BEEN allowed to remain on the rolls after
they had consumed their leave they were surely
| entitled to the emoluments Of their OIL
ces. undiminished in any way, but
their quiet acceptance Of the part
payment must DO taken as q waiver Of the
right to full payment and on this ground the
petitions were dismissed.
Tho opinion went so far, however, as to Law
down the principle that if an employe be re.
tanned on the roll of an Office after the expira-
ton Of the period OF leaves. and protests against
the receipt OF less than a full payment of
! salary, "a claim for reimbursement would lie.
The action Of the head of tho department in
such an event, however, would be prshlemati-
cal and the cases might be solve( By dis

THE BEkING SEA ARBITRATION.
II Is Said That Great Britain Will Cause Nc
Further Delay.


1t is probable that favorable turn has oc-
CURED in the tide Of the Boring sea contro-
versy that may put an end to the stagnation
that has occurred Of late in the negotiations
Last Saturday the status Of the case was
very unsatisfactory to this government
The British ministry had wholly
neglected to respond to Secretary BIaine's last
proposition about arbitration, though ample
tine had elapsed and the administration was
growing impatien. at the delay. The state of
things was about as follows: 1t had been
agreed between the parties to the con-
troversy to leave the matter for adjustment
to board Of seven arbitrators, of whom
one should represent Great Britain proper.
one should stand 70, Canada, two for the United
States, and tae board should be completed by
three men of a peutral position. selected from
impartial sources outside Of the three coun-
tries.
This proposition originated with Lord Sails
bury, and Secretary Blaine had yielded to him
in accepting the terms. Then be called upon
Salisbury to nominate three persons to
I'll the neutral positions. This he neg
lected to do. and the inference was
strong that his delay was calculated to
harass this government by postponing e soiu.
ton of the problem to so far distant time
that the modus vivendi will have to be re.
enacted in order TO secure q peaceful scaling
season
The feeling of this government became sp-
parent to the British minister here yesterday,
and ID is understood that 40 made haste "a
assure the Secretary that no further useless
delay would occur.
1t is said that the Secretary during his tall
with tho President this morning reported this
fact and that the governments case u now In q
fair way Of getting hearing.
