ALLoTMENTs OF PAY.

The Decision Grew out of the Demaad Tor
Payment Due the Firm of william
n. BELTS for Naval Outfits.
The decision of the auditor for the
Navy Department that allOtments 10y
naval officers of their salaries were not
provided for by law WAS brought about
by an appeal of Pay Director Crosby,
stationed at tue Naval Academy, says
the washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Sun, who submitted several
questions arising in connection with al
IOtments made by the tailoring firm OF
William ii. Bells Il son, OF Annapolis,
by naval cadets on their two years cruise
and by officers who were indebted for
clothing. This firm has for years made
uniforms for graduates aud officers sta
toned at the academy, aud recently It's
head retired from business and the son
continued it under the original name.
Allotments had been made to the head
of the tiTm and also TO one OF us mem
bers, whose name, ,hOwever,d differed from
that mentioned in mahy OF the all0t-
ments. Paymaster Crosby decided 10
ask the Washington authorities II there
was authority TO pay the firm allOtments
when the name contained In most OF
them differed from that Of the head OF
present firm. The auditor, ia deciding
this question, found, as lie believes, that
there is 10 law permitting officers 70 allot
their pay TO any one, and, therefore, the
firm has really 40 claim on the Oiiicerss
allotment. Ills decision, however, has
not yet been formally rendered, and IL
is understood tue Treasury Department
will not interfere with tile present ar
rangement unless Congress should fail
to pass specific measui e, giving officers
a privilege they have enjoyed for years,
aud which, TO take away, would work
much inconvenience To those dependent
upon them at home.
The passage OF the two bills which have
been presented in both houses will not
be opposed by the treasury, and 1T is be
lIeved they Will ultimately become law.
Should they not, and the department de
cline to permit allotments, the only way
officers can deliver part Of their pay To
those they may wish TO have II Will be
through checks given by the paymaster
of the ship. This would prevent thefam
lilies of many officers from receiving aRy
part of their salary for two and three
months after it was due and, there would
no doubt be great annoyance 10 the oii-
GERS and those dependent OILS them.

Tried Friends Best.


To-day the democratic Senators held
a conference and decided upon line OF
conduct. The chief matters discussed
were the executive nominations-the po-
lice commissioners and the State treas
uIer. 1t is thought the Governor would
not be averse to having some of his nomi-
nees rejected, and it is not unlikely that
number will be rejected. Some OF the
Senators say that there ie loud demand
from Baltimore city to prevent the cleo
tion of treasurer and police commission
ers. When this matter was mentioned
to Senator Crothers he said there could
be no profit In such course. When 1t
was mentioned to Governor Lowndes he
said check would be provided when the
time arrived. The Legislature could put
the election of as long as it wished. but
if il adjourned without electing there
wonld he an extra session. and the dem
Ocrats would Ee responsible for the cost.

RAILROAD INTERESTS.
MILEAGE TICKETS AND PARTY RATES.

Chicago, May 4.-What Is to be done regarding
the issue OF mileage and party-rate tickets by the
Western Passenger Association lines will be deter
mined at meeting OF executive officers and general
passenger agents to be held in this city tomorrow
All the roads agreed that II will not be possible
to discontinue the sale Of mileage tickets, but there
is considerable difference OF opinion as regards the
manner in which the business is TO be conducted.
The principal contention Is in regard to the safe-
guards necessary TO prevent the manipulation OF
tickets by scalpers. 1t has been recommended by
special committee to allow roads to issue 2Ooomile
tickets at a gross rate OF $50. with rebate after
the coupons have been extracted of slO making the
net rate $40 or two cents a mile. and to let the
chairman pay the rebates. This. IT Is claimed.
would be the best safeguard to prevent manipuia-
ton. . ,-.---.,- -
The transmissour roads have already taken action
In the matter. substantially on the plan mentioned
Ii is by no means certain. however. that the INES
between Chicago and the Missouri River and & Chr H.
cago and St. Paul will take similar action Two or
three OF the roads are said TO be opposed 10 me ne
proposition TO let the chairman pay the rebates on
the tickets. ,,-. ..o ..-a-
AS regards the issue Of partyrate tickets the prop,
ositon to sell such tickets 10 regularly orgahiZeu
parties only will probably be adopted, athough
some roads contend that this cannot be legally done
and II such tickets sold It must be 10 everybody
who applies for them.

AN END OF THE TROUBLES IN THE 22D
REGIMENT. .1. ~


DECISIVE ACTION BY BRIGADE HEADouARTERs-
FIVE MEN EXPELLED FROM THE SERVICE.
The troubles Of Company G. 22d Regiment. which

tfonal Guard for the last few months, have been
settled by brigade headquarters and five OF the
members OF the company, who protested against

the officers OF the company. have been dishonoraby
dismissed from the service.
The news was received at the 22d Regiment arm
ory last night, and Captain Dayton. whom the de-
c.sion exonerates received the congratulations OF
his fellow-offlcers
The trouble all grew out OF election which took
place on December q. FIRST Lieutenant Dayton
was candidate for the place made vacant by the
promotion of Captain Demarest. The candidate OPP
posed to Lieutenant Dayton was Lieutenant s s.
Stebbns. OF the l2th Regiment Lieutenant Dayton
was elected by n majority OF FIVE votes but the OPP
position asserted that unfair methods had been en-
p,oyed than headquarters influence had been exerted
in favor OF Dayton, that marked ballots had been
used in order that those who voted for Stebbins
might be known, and that coercve methods OF vari-
Gus kinds were employed to bring about Lieutenant
Dayton's election The Tribune said a; the time that
the charges would be thrown OUT that the elected
man would stay elected. and that no court-maruaI
would be ordered. - -,
The matter brought to the attention OF bri-
gade headquarters and was referred by General ftz
gerald to Major Van Duzer. the Judge Adv1ca,e On On
