REVENUE MARINE OFFICERS.
A Bill to Permanently Remove ThOs,
Incapacitated for Active Service.

AhcApAcltuteu IOE AcuNe SeENlces
Representative Mallory has reported from
the commerce committee bill to place on
waiting orders and permanently remove
from the active list such officers of the rev.
enue cutter service as become incapa citated
by reason of the infirmities of age. or phys
ical or mental disability, to efficiently per-
form the duties of their offices. The vacan-
cies in the active list occasioned by the re-
moval of incapacitated officers are to be
filled by promotion. in order OF seniority,
after written examinations to their pro-
fessional qualifications Heretofore, an ac-
companying report says. there has been no
means whereby these incapacitated officers
could be removed from the active list and
the government has been obliged to retain
them rominally on that list, thus barring
indefinitely the promotion Of capable and
efhcient Junior officers, or else resort to the
cruel and inhuman course of discharging
them in their old age, broken in health and
In many cases, destitute of the means Of
a livelihood The officers of the revenue
cutter service are appointed for life and
their duties are certainly not less exacting
and arduous than those of naval officers
The following statement contained in a
letter bearing on this subject, from Secre-
tary Carlisle to the chairman Of the COM
mittee, is interesting:
THE necessities of the service are con-
stantly increasing while its effective force
Is constantly decreasing, and, unless some
remedy is provided by Congress, the time
cannot be very far distant when the Secre-
tary of the Treasury will be compelled to
seriously consider the propriety of dis
charging a number of superannuated and
infirm officers in order to fill their places
with others who are competent to discharge
the duties of the positions which they now
hold. Two of the officers now on the wait
ing order list have been connected with the
service more than sixty years, and several
of them have served more than thirty
years. They were appointed for life. and it
would be great hardship to drop them out
of the service after they have become old
and infirm, without making some provision
for them"

NAVAL APPROPRIATIONS.
More Than Three Millions ms Com
pared With Last Year.


The naval appropriation bill reported to
the House yesterday carries S25. go, ,966,
being an increase of 3.176.9O5 over the ap-
preparation for the fiscal year, but $S670,
S13 less than the estimates.
The appropriations for the increase of the
havy cover only armor and armament and
construction and machinery.
In accordance with the recommendation
Of the Secretary Of the Navy. the commit
tee recommend that he be authorized to
use for the construction Of one additional
cruiser of the Vesuvius type the s450,OOO
appropriated by the act of 1889 for the con-
struction, armament and equipment of
three torpedo boats. By the same act
100000 was appropriated for building a
submarine boat and conducting expert
ments with II. The committee recon-
mend that the Secretary be authorized to
use this amount for the construction, arma-
ment and equipment of a torpedo boat.
They also recommend that the Secretary
be given authority to transform the We
suvius into a torpedo cruiser, If, In his
judgment. the change will add to the eff
cheney Of the vessel for naval purposes.
The committee. in view of the Presi-
dents suggestions thatCongress should care
fully take into account the unfinished ves-
sells on our hands and the depleted condi-
ton of our treasury, have reluctantly con-
cluded not to recommend an appropriation
for the construction of a new battleship at
this time.

Changed Conditions

Changed Conditions.
''They comprise millions of our people of
small incomes. In all the great companies
are many of these, and possibly many call
for an income tax. They do not know that
their savings are aggregated in the bank or
other corporation and made to pay the
same tax as if the depositor's income were
over the limit of $4,000. Many a poor man
and woman will find their scanty dividends
lessened by the income tax If this bill be-
comes law. The condition of affairs in this
country is vastly different from what 1t was
a quarter of a century or more ago. The dis
contented and unsettled classes, of which
the number Is steadily increasing, have no
longer new and virgin territory to occupy
when they become dissatisfied with the old
er communities.
THE time has come when in the order of
things We must have a fixed national policy
uron all questions affecting the stability of
the government. The shifting, huctuating
policy of the managers of the party of free
trade in seeking to force its views upon the
country. whether The people indorse them or
not, Is a striking illustration of its unfitness
to manage national affairs, and can but re-
suit In disaster to the party that attempts
1t. We can endure less foolishness than
formerly. The people can stand less non-
sense in the shape of unwise laws than
when there was less suffering and idleness
among them"

THREE GREAT BATrLEsHIPs.
Satisfactory Report ON Them by the
NavaI Stability Board.

Naval Stability Board.
The naval stability board has just COM
pleted and submitted to Secretary Herbert
an exhaustive report on the most important
esatter that has yet come before the board.
namely, the stability of the three great
uattie ships. Indiana, Massachusetts, and
Oregon The tests were thorough. and, in
addition to exhaustive theoretical calcula-
sions, the board made practical heeling or
inciining tests of the vessels. 10 ascertain
their behavior under all possible conditions
of load. The result is highly gratifying to
the department for II justifes in all re-
spects the designs Of the vessels, and shows
that they are superior TO any warships
afioat of corresponding size. The calcula-
tions of the bureau of construction when
the designs of the vessels were completed
showed that they were to have, with 400
tons of coal aboard and all weights, a total
estimated weight Of 10,0sS tons. The tests
showed that the actual weight or displace-
ment was lo.162 tons, a variation of only
two-thirds of one per cent. The designed
draught was "a feet: the experiments show
that IL is actually from % feet IL inches 20
"a feet. The excess buoyancy was to be
1875 tons; il was actually 126 tons. The
metacentric height was to be 8 feet IL
inches: as a matter Of fact IL was feet
4 1-2 inches The board says: This COM
parison shows that the result of the present
calculations is a most satisfactory and
gratifying verifcation of the elements of
the original design. demonstrating a most
remarkable degree OF accuracy in those cal
culations.
THE board is of the opinion that the
draught Of water of the battle ships is not
excessive for the type and size of the ves-
sell We regard the stability conditions, as
shown by the calculations. to be satisfac-
tory, and see no resson whatever TO suggest
any changes or alterations in these ships
for the purpose of modifying these quail
ties

They Are DESTROYS of an Early Ad-
journment of Congress.
NECESSITY TO hold THE NEXT HOUSE
Southern Men Fearful Of the Pop.
ulist Possibilities.
TO RUN THEIR OWN CAMPAIGN

The uncertainty of the political situa-
ton. the enforcement Of the fines against
members of the House for absence, and
the fact that southern democrats will be
compelled to fight for themselves individ-
ually rather than depend upon the general
battle made by the congressional and ma
tional committee organization, promise to
hasten action on the tariff more than has
been anticipated, and at most any cost to
the present measure. 1t is a matter of
very great Importance to the democrats
to hold the House during the next Con-
gress They feel that they are compelled
to pass tariff bill and that it is Of almost
equal Importance to them that adjournment
Of Congress should occur at a reasonably
early day.
To Rush the Bill Through.
Influenced by this situation they are
almost certain to make an effort very soon
to force their bill over the shoal water in
the Senate even II they have to sacrifice
half their cargo to do so. There are good
reasons to believe that Mr.. Smith will not
vote against the tariff bill when 1t comes
to the final test and the belief among those
closest on the inside is that in a few weeks
1t will be generally accepted as certain
tinn that BIZ win be passed. 4 prolongA-
In the Senate Is liable to lead to a revival
of the silver agitation in the House, under
conditions peculiarly troublesome This
the eastern men want to avoid II they can
do so without too great a sacrifice
Two Committees mt Work.
The two congressional committees are
hard at work in preparation for the con-
gressional campaign. As Chairman Bab-
cock OF the republican committee says, the
republicans have big task before them to
entirely overcome the democratic majority
In the House. even with big majority Of
the popular vote. The republicans count
first among their difficulties the solid south
ern column the democrats have to start
with. 1t is on this column the democrats
are relying to hold the House.
Populist Possibilities.
Both committees seem. however, to ig-
more the possibility that very considerable
number Of democrats from the south may
be replaced by populists who will not vote
with the democratic organization. Informa-
ton OF what the populists are doing indi-
Gates a probability that the republicans will
rot have to make such gains in the north
as they count to overcome the democratic
strength in numbers from the south. The
democratic committee will not be disposed
to make any concessions to the populistic
sentiment In the south, or else will be d.
vided on that question, and this Is counted
on TO strengthen the populist party proper
In certain localities. In consideration Of
this there 10 much talk among the men
most affected to ignore the committee to a
private organization OF their own to meet
local conditions and get rid OF too close
association with the national administra-
ton.

No Truth I'm the Rumor as to Charges
Against Corrfgan.

The publication in New York paper to-
day that Mgr. Satolli would prefer charges
against Archbishop Corrigan at Rome of
conspiring against him was denied by the
papal legate today. When an Associated
Press reporter called at Mgr. Satollfs he
was met by a member of the suite. who
said:
Mgr. Satolli has requested me to say
that the article is false, entirely and ut
terly false. ans without foundation. He
does not intend to prefer charges against
Archbishop Corrigan nor to go to Rome.
1t would be useless for you to see Mgr. Sa-
TOLL. for he could not make the denial of
that report more sweeping than he has
authorized me to make 1t for him."

versity, when seen. also said that the pub
