CAPT. HOWELL'S CASE.
A Hitch in His Promotion to BE COM
modere.


An apparent hitch has occurred in the
case Of Capt. John \. Howell, commandant
of the Washington navy yard. He was re-
Gently examined for promotion to the grade
of commodore, and, despite the alleged op-
position of Rear Admiral Walker, the ex-
amining board reported in favor of his pro-
motion. The report was made several
weeks ago, but for some unknown reason
has not been acted upon by Secretary Her
bert. 1t is said he is making personal
investigation of the case before submit
ting the report Of the board to the Presi-
dent for final action.
Four years ago, when Capt. Howell COM
manded the cruiser Atlanta, then attach
ed to the famous white squadron, in Euro
pean waters, he had the misfortune to in
cur the displeasure of Admiral John G.
Walker commander-in-chef of the fleet.
He failed to obey an order to get his vessel
under way as promptly as the admiral
thought he should have done, and as a
cons sequence was suspended from command
for five days The fact of his suspension
was communicat ted to the other vessels of
the fleet, and the admiral made it the sub
ject of a report to the Navy Department.
Nothing was ever done in the matter, how
ever and the incident was forgotten, until
1t was revived by some persons inimical
to Capt Howell, on the occasion of his re-
cent examinat ton for promotion. Admiral
Walker appeared before the board and eX-
pressed doubt as to the officers fitness for
promotion, on professional grounds. The
board considered the officer fully qualified
for the higher grade, however, and so re-
ported to the department. 1t iS expected
that the case will be acted upon by the
President in a short time. and his brother
officers have very little doubt of Capt.
Howelrs promotion. The Naval Register
for July puts his name in the list Of COM
modore. with an explanatory note. subject
to examination"

COAST AND GEoDET1o SURVEY.
Proposition to Divide 1t Between the
Navy and Interior Departments.

Proposition to Divide 1t Between the
Navy and Interior Departments.
The recent changes in the coast and geo.
detic survey have again called attention
to the feasibility of bringing the coast
survey portion of this bureau under the
Navy Department and having the work
done by the photographic office of the
ravy. The photographic office is splen-
didly equipped for just such work as is
performed by the coast survey. In fact,
the photographic office is compelled to do
great deal Of work that is made use of
by the coast survey, and the work of the
latter office is of use mainly to the navy
and the mariners. Both Secretary Herbert
and Secretary Carlisle recommended the
transfer in their last annual reports, but
cabinet officers.
1t has been suggested in this connection
that the geodetic part of the bureau might
be very properly turned over to the geo.
Il gical survey in the Interior Department,
snd the coast survey to the Navy Depart
ment Tna Navy Department now does a
great deal Of work in the line Of that per-
tormed by the coast survey. Much in
formation Is now furnished to mariners
and to the shipping interests not only
through the photographic office here, but
by the branch photographic offices in
various parts OF the country. All the
shlps or the navy are moving assistants
to the photographic offices, and sailors of
merchant and other ships have come to
regard them as their best source of news
in the matter Of charts, information and
general maritime intelligence. With the
coast survey added to the photographic
office, 1t Is contended that it would be far
more useful than at present, and that the
work of 81 rveying the coast could be
prosecuted with much more advantage.

SILVER REPUBLICANS
They Are Much Concerned Over Quays
Threatened Overthrow.
They Relied on Him to Aid in the
Presidential Candidacy of
Senator Cameron.

The silver republicans contemplate with
much concern the threatened overthrow of
Quay in Pennsylvania. While Quay has
never come cut advocate of silver
and there is no known alliance between
him snd Gamer on on that question, it has
been confidently expected by the silver men
that Quay would exercise all his skill and
influence to promote his colleagues candi-
dacy for the republican presidential nomi-
nation. The only hope of Cameron's nomi-
nation lay in his having the support of
the Pennsylvania delegation, with a large
control over the southern delegates, among
whom Qusy Is counted to be very influen-
tial.
What Cameron CaR Count On.
Cameron can rely with reas enable GER
tainty upon a solid delegation from every
one OF the western silver states Counting
on Pennsylvania and the southern contin-
gent, this gave the silver men hopes Of
emaking a strong showing at the national
convention. The hoped for strength of the
Cameron move in Pennsylvania and the
south depends, however, not only upon
on his holding all his accustomed power.
If he is shorn Of power in his own state,
as is seriously threatened, 1t will be seri-
Gus blight to the Cameron boom.
Expected Quny's Assistance.
None of the silver men undertake to say
that Quay agrees with Cameron on the
silver question. yet they have somehow
been expecting his assistance to promote
the ambition of his colleague, and they now
feel that the fate Of Cameron and of the
silver cause within the republican party is
involved in the fight Quay is now making
for his political power.

Police Protection Requested.
AS soon as Mr.. Griswold learned this
morning that his drivers had struck he
telephoned the fact to police headquarters
and asked for protection for his cars.
Lieut.. Kelly. with the reserves from the
different precincts, was ordered by Maj
Moore chief of police, to the scene of the
strike Missouri avenue, and several
detectives were also sent there, but their
services We're not Eeeded, as there was no
disposition on the part of the striking
drivers to harm any of the company's prop

Cars Returned to the Sheds.
The strikers held short meeting about
noon today at Bunch's Hall on Sth street
northwest, and at the suggestion of Presi-
dent Lawrence, after adjourning, drove the
deserted cars to the sheds of the company.
President Griswold was seen this after
neon. and In response to question by a
representative of The Star as to the proba-
hle duration of the strike said: TT will
certainly continue until the men yield the
stand they have taken. The company will
not pay any higher wages, nor will there
be any pro rata arrangements for the fu-
ture.''
Company Gives Notice to Employees.
President Griswold this afternoon had
posted a notice at the office of the
company. stating that all employees who do
not report for duty by am, Saturday
will be considered as discharged from the
service of the company and will be paid
what Is due them on demand, and at the
same time he reserved the right to change

Three of the drivers at once called at the
office and demanded their wages, which

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Comment on the Speech of EX-GOv.
Cmmpbell Mt New York.

The strong American tone" Of the speech
of eX-Gov. Campbell at the Tammany Hall
meeting yesterday is regarded as another
evidence that there is a question besides
silver upon which the democrats are divid-
ed, and that there may be an issue In the
campaign Of '9G quite as interesting as the
financial. The division here seems to go
right into the Cleveland camp. Campbell,
like Don M. Dickinson, has been a strong
supporter OF Cleveland throughout his ca
reer, but both he and Dickinson have taken
occasion to declare their devotion to the
Monroe doctrine, which the administration
has shown a disposition to seriously mod
ify, if not abandon altogether. 1t is be-
lieved among politicians that both Camp
bell and Dickinson have heard the distant
hunlming of the presidential bee and that
they know enough about the purposes of
the Administration in dealing with foreign
affairs to lead them to the conclusion that
before the presidential campaign is on the
preservation of the Monroe, doctrine may
become a greater issue than the silver
question.

COMMANDER IDE,s CASE.
He Has Gone to His Home in Ohio on
Waiting Orders.

Commander Ide, who was recently de-
tached from command of the Alert at Pan
anna. because of alleged discourtesy to Ad-
miral Meade, has gone to his home in Ohio
on waiting orders. While in this city he
asked for the appointment of a court of in
Qriry to investigate his conduct on occa-
sicn of his meeting with Assistant Secre-
tary McAdoo and Admiral Meade in Pana-
ma in the spring.
What is Thought of This Action.
The fact that he has gone to Ohio IS
taken, by many of his brother naval ofli-
GERS. 10 mean that Secretary Herbert is not
sposed to grant his request. Such a con-
clu=ion on the part of the Secretary would
not. in itself. lie a rebuke to Commander
Ids. but. on the contrary, would most prob
ally mean that the case was too trivial
for official Investigation or for further ac-
tion of any kind.
Secretary Herbert said today that no ac-
ton whatever has been taken in this case.
MIR. Ncidu" Made No Statement
1t is said at the Navy Department that
the published statement that Assistant
Secretary McAdoo testified against Com
n.ander Ide in the matter of the charge of

rtct. Assistant Secretary MCAloo. in vic "

Funds to Carry on the War.

1t is said in Spanish official circles here
that the cable report from Madrid that the
Bank of Spain would make advances to the
government to the extent desired, probably
refers to raising the $120000,Ooo in gold
provided in the recent budget to carry on
operations in Cuba. The Bank of Spain is a
Quas-governmenta institution, much like
the Bank of England which stands ready
to cooperate with the government in finan-
cial transactions.
From the tenor of the cable report, 1t is
believed here that the bank will carry the
entire s12O,VD0ooo, advancing it in INSTALL
ments, SO that Spain will not have to go to
outside money centers for the funds.

STREET CAR POSTAL SYSTEM
No Request Made for Its Introduction at
the National Capital.
Cities Where the Suburbs Are Sup
piled in That Manner and the
Satisfaction Given.

If the people living in the outlying sec
tions of Washington wish to secure an i'm
proved mail service through means of the
street car postal system which has been
adopted in many of the large cities of the
country during the past year they should
lose no time in making their wants known
to the postmaster here and through him to
the second assistant postmaster general.
Mr.. Nelson. who has charge of the work
of extending that service.
Il have received no intimation," said Mr..
Nelson to a Star reporter today, that the
people Of this city want the street car
postal system introduced here except
through individual residents of Brightwood
and Anacostia. 1t has been necessary in
the introduction Of this system to the va
rious cities of the country to rely upon the
representations of postmasters, VINO are
best enabled to judge whether such system
would make their service more efficient.
The postmaster here has not intimated that
he desires such system introduced, but II
he We're to do so the matter would be taken
up. and as soon possible a move would
be made to put il into effect.
Cities Enjoying the system.
The street car postal system has, within
the past year, been introduced in Chicago,
ST. Louis, Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
New Orleans and other cities. Washington
ana baltimore are among the lew iut5e
cities that have never asked the depart
ment to introduce the system. The system
is much the same as that in operation on
the steam railroads. II 1t We're introduced
in Washington a postal car on the various
railroads leading to suburban places aAd to
the different sections of the city would be
handed the mail for that section, and while
en- route this mail would be distributed, so
that by the time the car reached its deS-
tination the mail could be turned over to
carriers for delivery. Georgetown, the Navy
Yard, Brishtwood. Takoma, Anacostia and
other outlying settlements would receive
their mail an hour or so earlier through
this method. 1t would save carrying the
mail bags to the city post office, as they
would go direct from the depot to the
postal car.
Popular Movements in Other Cities.
In many other cities where this system
has been introduced there have been popu-
lar movements in its favor. There is little
doubt that were the citizens associations
of Washington and its suburbs to adopt
resolutions asking for the street car postal
system, these resolutions to go to the post
master of the city, and through him to the
Post Office Department, that the system
would be in operation here within the next
year. Unless this is done 1t may be num-
ber of years before this Improvement in the
service is realized.
