The NAVY Department
Secretary Herbert Asks for
More Ships and Men.

He Recommends the Construction
of Two Battlcships and ut Least
Twelve Torpedo Boats-The Estab-
lishment of Reserve System
Advocated.
Washington, Dec 2.-Advocates of
continuing the increase in the new
navy will find qualification in the an
nual report of Secretary Herbert to the
president The secretary recommends
the construction of two battleships
and at least twelve torpedo boats. The
country is not in want of ordinary un-
armored crusiers or of gunboats, but
we are lamentab bly, deficient in torpedo
boats and we certainly need more bat
tleships, according to the secretary.
An inspection of the building pro-
gramme of other nations will demon
strate that the lessons taught at Galu
and Wei-Hai-Wei have tended to con-
firm the belief of naval experts
throughout the world in the efficacy of
these two classes of vessels. That gun
boats and torpedo boats may be built
cheaply, the secretary points out briefly.
The gratifying progress by our manu-
facturers of steel and our ship builders
and the competition among them has
enabled the department during the
past two years, he says, to contract for
gunboats and torpedo boats at very
large reduction from the prices which
We're formerly paid.
Reserve System Advocated.
Toward this proposed increase of the
navy Mr.. Herbert estimates that S9,
63S,3s3 is necessary, and inclusive of
that amount, his estimate for the com
plete expenses of the naval establish
ment for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1897, aggregate S29, ,311, 166. Ont of the
appropriation for the current fiscal
year-amounting to $14,2l2, S0l--there
remains S942. 2s6. With the exception
of the appeal for more ships, the most
important topic treated by Secretary
Herbert is that of a reserve system.
He prefaces his suggestion that such
system be established with some com
ment on the necessity for having more
enlisted men and recommends that the
enlistment of l 900 more be authorized.
Giving figures to show how small our
enlisted force is and how large those of
European countries are. he makes a
comparison of our 3,450 blue jackets
and marines with Germany's 81, ,4s7.
Germany's available men, while not all
at one time in actual service on board
ship, would in case of war furnish no
lack of trained and drilled material for
the imperial navy, and" says the
secretary, lin case of "A naval war,
readiness, other conditions being equal,
means victory"

WAGES MUST DESCEND
Also Some of the Employees at the
Pension Office.
An ORDER FROM HOKE SMITH

Ordering q Reduction of $4,000 in the
Expenses OF the ONCE Here-ThIrty.
Eight Clerks Affected
By a recent order of Secretary of the
Interior Hoke Smith, the expenses of the
United States pension Office here must be
reduced $4,000 per year and this means
that the salary of every clerk in the
office will be cut from 800 to $500 per
year and it is understood that two or
three will be discharged.
The clerks in the pension Office get
from $500 to $1,000 per year. and those
who get the largest salaries will of course
receive the greatest reduction. The four
clerks who draw the largest salaries are
Chief Clerk James Howe, E. E. Miller,
Il. G. Doncyson and W. II. Ruff. Upon
these four men rests a great share of the
responsibility of the Office, and they are
acknowledged to be among the most pro-
fcient in the city. They often work at
night and on Sundays when the office is
crowded with work.
There are thirty eight clerks in the
office who will be affected by the order.
1t is understood that the order was issued
to reduce the expenses of the govern
ment and that all the offices in the
United States will be compelled to make
similar reductions.
Pension Agent Click was not in the
city today and Chief Clerk Howe re-
fused to talk about the order. SIT ia a
private matter" said he, sand it was not
intended that it shouldeget out. l do not
care to say anything about it and any
thing given out must come from Gov

THIRD READER STORY.
The Good Boy Wins the Examination and
the Bad Boy Fails.

The Good Boy Wins the Examination and
the bad Boy Fails.
Two of the young who were at Downs,
Kansas. few days ago for the purpose
of taking the examination held for An
napolis and West Point aspirants were
in marked contrast says the Downs
Times. One of them seemed very we'll
satisfied with himself. He had plenty
of money, or at least he tried to create
such an impression. In making a trivial
purchase in one of the stores he came
across three coppers in his pocket and
CONTEMPORARY threw them on the floor
as if too trivial for his notice. He was
Kansas University man, too-but he did
not come out successful in the contest.
His opposite was lad evidently from
the country; young fellow somewhat
difident in manner, and who seemed in
disposed to mingle with the crowd, prob
ably feeling that he was mot in that
class He had driven seventy miles for
the purpose of taking the examination,
camping out on the way, and boarded
himself in the same manner while here.
His finances were at such low ebb that
he borrowed a few cents to make a nee
essary purchase-but he was one of the
successful contestants The whole world
belongs to the boy with worthy ambi-
ton who makes the best use of his talent
and all honorable means to attain it

Five Scranton Families.

The Topeka suffragists Clothed Thirty
Five Scranton Families.
The three women who went to Scran-
ton yesterday in the name of the Topeka
Equal Suffrage association to distribute
clothing to the suffering miners, came
back early in the afternoon.
The women were DR. Eva Harding,
Mrs j. NJ. Hart and Mrs NJ. E. Goodwin.
They went Saturday night and got up in
time to begin work at o'clock Sunday
morning
Thirty five bundles were distributed to
as many families and six other families
were found who will have to be provided
for. These families were all of them
miners and contain at least three chill
dren.
There are a great many needy families
in Scranton that will not accept aid.
Their pride overrides their poverty.
The very needy families that will ac-
cept aid are now nearly all prov ided
with proper clothing, but the food store
is very short and only a few sacks of
-four remain. The buying committee
has now less than $50 in its treasury.

The Bob Lincoln Boom for President Bobs
Up Again.
NEW YORK, June 10.-Hon. Thomas L.
James, ex- postmaster general. mayor of
Tenahy, N. j., and president of the
Lincoln National bank, said, discussing
the political situation:
81 look upon Robert Lincoln as the
likeliest dark horse in the race for the
Republican nomination.
"He is strong in the south, but that
statement does not by any means sum up
all his possibilities before a conven-
ton. Illinois Republicans would unite
upon him. Georgia, Arizona, Kentucky
and Tennessee will be with him, but
in all the southern states there live warm
and influential friends of the Illinois
man. In the Carolinas, in Virginia in
Arkansas and Mississippi I believe
that he will get half of the entire south
ern delegation and when the break
comes on the favorites Lincoln and ALI
son will get the benefit of it.
1.-THE Iowa senator is we'll balanced,
sound viewed man, who, next to Lincoln,
possesses elements of strength where the
other candidates are weak. 1t is my
opinion that Mr. Harrison cannot by any
means be nominated"

During the war a regiment was sent
out from Ohio to fight for the Union and
at its head was August B. Sweeney. He
was a good officer and gallant soldier
and was always in the thickest of the
fight. Several times he was shot and
carries bullets to this day.
His injuries were not fatal but affected
his mind SO that he is grown prema-
turely old and his mind is unsteady.
He now lives at Silver Lake with his
brotherin-law, DR.. MagilL He recently
applied for pension Oh the ground of
his unsoundness of mind and other dis
abilities, but the pension examiners were
not enough in evidence and the pension
bureau insisted that formal examina-

1t was done and Col Sweeney was de-
clared insane
