Washington, March 22.-Secretary John
D. Long, of the navy department, has
made an emphatic answer to the con-
gressional delegations from New York,
Pennsylvania, Virginia and California,
who have been requesting him for the
past two weeks to "let down the bars"
at the Brooklyn, League Island, Norfolk
and Mare Island navy yards, so as to
admit party workers in them irrespec-
tive of merit qualifications. II has been
alleged that in carrying into effect the
civil service regulation favoritism was
shown to democrats. Mr.. Long replies
that when the system of employing me-
chanics and laborers upon merit first
suppose that those who were to adminis-
ter the regulations would make some
mistakes" but "favoritism will not now
be allowed" He then adds these ex-
plicit instructions: at is the intention
