An American Ensign and His Sailors

United States Consul Kemper at Amoy.
China, has made a report to the State De-
partmcnt in regard to an incident which oc-
Cured at that port April 20. The German
merchant steamer Taicheons, lately arrived
from the United States, laden with kero-
sene In cans. was observed from the U. S.
S. Machias to be on fire. Commander
Houston of the Machias at once dispatched
two boats crews, under charge of Ensign
Scales, to the assistance Of the imperiled
ship. On getting aboard they found every
ore, officers ard men, thoroughly denroral-
lied in face of the rapidly gaining flames.
Taking charge of affairs. the American
tars. working with alacrity and energy
under Mr.. Scales wise and cool discretion
succeeded in suppressing the fire, thereby
averting not only the loss Of the ship and
her cargo, but possibly calamitous results
to other ships in the vicinity.
The incident became the subject of ex-
tremely cordial correspondence between the
German and American consuls, and the lat
ter forwarded to Commander Houston the
former consuIs graceful note of thanks,
the Machias having sailed for Nagasaki a
few hours after the fire. Consul Kemper
says he is happy in the privilege of calling
attention to the admirable conduct Of Com
mander Houston, his officers and men,
conduct SO magnanimous and honorable" :"

REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE.
Increase in the Term of EnIistments
and Increase of Pay.

ana increase OF ray.
An important reform introduced in the
revenue cutter service is an increase in the
term Of enlistment from one year to three
years. Orders to that effect have just been
issued. 1t is believed that the change will
improve the general efficiency Of the crews
and make them valuable auxiliaries to the
regular navy in case of war. The short
term of enlistment has always been
source Of discomfort in the service, as it
invariably resulted in frequent changes in
the personnel of the crews. About the
time man had learned his duties and be-
come useful his term expired and he left
the service. AS an inducement for the men
to enter the service and to remain there,
the Treasury Department has provided for
an increase in pay in all grades up to the
fifth. SO that man remaining in the serv
ice fifteen years Will receive after his fifth
enlistment IS a month more than at any
time of his first enlistment. Orders have
also been issued insuring enlisted men bet
ter treatment than has been the case in
the past, and also providing against dis
charges for trifing offenses. Hereafter

Will display the national flag, well as

He is Doing Educational Work in BE
half of Silver.

Representative Bankhead OF Alabama
was in the city today, and left on the Ills
train this morning for the south. Mr..
Bankhead is booked for a Fourth Of July
speech on the silver question, and 1t is
probable that he will be quite actively en-
gagged from now on in advancing the cause
of what is known as educational work by
the silverites of his state.
IA great deal is being said,' remarked
Mr.. Bankhead to Star reporter today,
about silver conventions that are COM
posed of democrats and populists I wonder
V hy it Is that we hear nothing about the
sound money conventions held by demo-
Gratis and republicans jointly. The conven-
ton at Memphis which indorsed sound
money had nearly as many republicans as
democrats in 1t, yet that was pronounced
to be democratic convention, and was
looked upon as expressing the views of the
southern democracy, or, at least, it was
claimed to represent such views"

PETTY OFFICERS.
Difficulty in Getting Competent Men
to Fill the Places.

One difficulty which the Navy Department
encounters is in securing competent men
TO fill the places of petty officers aboard
ships. Common seamen are easily obtained,
and so are men equipped as specialists,
such as gunners and machipists. These
men offer their services from time to time
in sufficient number to supply the demand,
but it is found more difficult to secure men
with executive ability who can command
and manage other men. Just now efforts
are being made to secure crews for the
ships that are to go into commission in the
next six weeks or two months, but as soon
as capable men for petty officers are Sc
cured, there comes a demand from ships
already in commission and at sea, which
takes away the best of the crew.

THE PENSION AGENCIES.
They Are All Soon to he Placed Under
Civil Service Rules.


Tho work Of readjusting and classifying
the forces of the pension offices of the
country has just been completed. with
view to shortly extending to them the
protection of the civil service laws. Here
tofore, as long as the pension agent kept
within the amount allowed him for the
expenses of his office, he could do pretty
much as he pleased In regard to the size
of his force and the amounts of salaries
paid. When it was decided to put the Of
fees under the civil service laws, it was
found necessary to change this system.
The amount and character of work done
by each office was carefully noted and
classification made accordingly. While this
has resulted in small reductions both in
force and salary in some offices. in others
there has been corresponding increase
the total appropriation being about the
same. The date when the civil service
order will go into effect has not yet been
determined, but it probably will be at an
early date now that the classification has
been completed.

Have Asked for n Court of Inquiry.

Commander George e. Ide, who was sum-
marily detached from command of the
Alert at Panama and ordered home, had
an interview with Secretary Herbert at the
Navy Department today. His detachment
was based upon charges made by Admiral
Meade while in command of the North At
lantic station. While Admiral Meade's
fleet was at Colon this spring he and As
sistant Secretary McAdoo, who was his
guest at the time, crossed the isthmus to
Panama, where the Alert of the Pacific
station was in port. Commander Ide met
the two gentlemen al a hotel, and was very
cordial in his greeting to Mr.. McAdoo, and
according to the story barely recognized
the presence of Admiral Meade. AS the
two officers were attached to different
squadrons, Commander Ide was not under
Admiral Meades command at the time. 1t
is safd however that the junior failed to
show proper respect to a senior officer, re-
gardless of the character of their official
relations.
Charged With Disrespect.
Admiral Meade charged him with disre-
spect, and 1t is understood that Assistant
Secretary McAdoo coroborrated his state
mtnt of the incident. Secretary Herbert
inSestigl lted the case, and IS a result Com
mander Ide was relieved of his command
and ordered home on waiting orders. Com
mander Ide "eturned to the United States
at once. He arrived at New York yester-
day, and came en- to Washington last
night. The Alert, which was at Callao at
last accounts, is under command of Lieut..
j. H c. Coffin, pending the arrival of Com
mander Franklin Hanford, who was sent
from New York to take command of the
vessel.
Asked for Court of Inquiry.
Secretary Herbert and Commander Ide
are both silent in regard to their inter-
view today. 1t is understood, however,
that the officer has asked for a court of in
quiry to determine whether he was or was
not guilty of violation of the rules and
regulations in his treatment of Admiral
Meade on the occasion in question. He is
confident of vindication If the Secretary
does not grant his request 1t will be be-
cause he does not think the case calls for
further action of any kind.
