WANT TO Go AHEAD.
Small Chance for Promotion in
the Navy.
Neither Officers Nor Enlisted Men
Are Given Any Opportunity
to Advance.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The Joint Con-
gressional Committee TO investigate The
personnel of the navy has begun prepara-
tions for the work, and determination Is
expressed to make the Investigation as
thorough as practicable, with the hope of
being able to make recommendations
which will remedy such evils as exist.
Tie need of reorganization bas long been
recognized by the Navy Department and
Congress, but the old conditions remained
because of the want of time and the fall
ure to secure concerted action. Ii is pro-
posed to try to fiud proper means for the
organization of both the staff and the line
of the navy, as we'll as to provide means Of
promotion for enlisted men and to find
means other than that of the seniority of
service for securing promotion.
The advocates of the change in the reg u
lations controlling line officers. including
the Navy Department officials, contend
that radical mod ifcation of the existing
laws must be made to prevent the person
mel from becoming totally inefficient from
congestion and paralysis. They say that
owing TO various causes the retirements
are very slow and the chances for promo
tion few. They argue from this and other
similar illustrations that the present sys-
TEN of promotion by seniority of rank
only prevents in many instances the pro-
motion of many officers who should be
advanced in rank on account of merit, and
the principal end in view with the commit
tee will be of finding means of bringing
about change in this respect. There will
also be an effort to provide means for the
promotion of enlisted men of the nayV as
it is believed that this will prove strong
incentive TO a more efficient service. 1t is
pointed out that the chances of preferment
for this class Of our seamen are fewer than
in many European countries.

The Insurgents Are Now Working
Slowly to That End.

LONDON. Feb. 2.-The Times has re-

Tuesday last. via Montevideo, concerning
the affairs in Rio harbor on Monday. This
report verifies In detail the account of Ad-
miral Benbam's action regarding the pro-
lection of American merchant ships al
ready given.
In an interview Da Cana said: I'VE
can continue here as things are now for
several weeks. We expect re-enforce-
ments of troops next week, and our force
then will probably be sufficient to enable
us to effect landing and take up a posi-
tlon on shore, and there await the advance
of the southern army"
The admiral said his supply of ammuni-
tion was short, but was sufficient for pres
ent needs.
The insurgent officers who attended the
conference called by Da Cana on Monday
were most emphatic in their expressions of
loyalty to him. They gave him no reason
to doubt that they placed entire confidence
in his JUDGMENT. and told him they would
abide by any action he might decide upon.
Many volunteers are joining Da Cana.

The Minister of Finance to-day called

and stated that the Government wished to

the position of the Government and asked
If the banks would lend assistance to tide

The foreign diplomats have held con-
terence to discuss the question of the
rights of the insurgents to be recognized
as belligerents. No actual decision was
reached. but the feeling was distinctly
favorab bic to such recognition except on the
part of the American representatives.
The majority of the Ministers have sent
dispatches to their Governments informing
them Of the deliberations of the foreign
representatives, and advising them to
recognize the insurgents as belligerents.
Brazlllans on both sides are adverse to
the action of the American fleet There
is much dissatisfaction among the Minis

threaten to resign. the complaint being
tnat the Government does not show suffi-
Gent activity IN the present crisis. Mar

CUTTING OVERLAND RATES.
The Atchison Is Evidently Looking
for Trouble.

CHICAGO. Feb. 2.-The Union Pacific to-
day refused to be party to the raising of
the S44 so basiDg rate now in effect be-
tween the Missouri River and the Pacific
Coast on the ground that it would have a
disastrous effect on local business. The
interested lines were in session to-day to
endeavor to prevent the utter demoraliza-
tion of the transcontinental traffic. but
nothing was accomplished. A search for
a remedy will continue tomorrow.
The Atchison to-day announced a rate
of cents mile on parties of ten or over.
1t claims that the Union Pacific has been
secretly making this rate for theatrical
parties, and has also been deadheading ad-
vance agents and excess of baggage. The
Atchison new rate applies only to trans
Missouri territory, but 1t intimates that
lines east of the river have been doing the
same as the Union Pacific, and that unless
it is stopped the cut will be extended into
the territory of the Western Passenger
Association.
