WHY DUFFIELD WAS RETIRED.

The retirement of General Duffield from the
head of the Coast Survey viii mark the end of
a contest between him and the various scien-
tific men connected with the bureau aud its
work that has baen wageu ever since General
Dufiield's appointment. says the Washington
correspondent OF the New York Sun. 1t has
been repeatedly charged that his great age
and utter lack OF executive ability rendered
him incompetent to properly perform the
duties OF the Office. These charges were
substantiated by documents laid before
the Secretary of the Treasury from time TO
time, showing that he was aetuated by political
reasons in making removals. and that with
regard to the scientific work of tee office he
was guided very largely by the advice OF nom
scientific employees, who were more in terested
In the distribution OF the patronage OF the bu-
reau than In its accomplishments and general
usefulness. Scientific men throughout tbe
country have been interes ted in the fight, and
while they admired General Duffield Tor his
qualities as man, an engineer and q soldier,
they were practically unanimous in testifying
TO his inability, both on account of his age
and his lack of scientific knowledge. 10
properly supervise the important executive
and technical work of the bureau.
Matters were brought 10 a head Wednesday,
October 30, by the extraordinary action OF
General Dufieid in formally submitting to the
secretary of the Treasury written charges
against three OF the most capable and dis
inguished men connected with the coast
suiyey-O. Il. Tittman. assistant in charge of
the office, the next ranking Official TO the
uperintendent; Char.es A. Schatt, chief of
the computing division, and J. F. Pratt. one
of the oldest aud most efficient officers
of the survey. Under the now famous
treasury circular No. 122, promulgated by
Secretary Gage under orders from President
Mckinley, copies of the charges were fur
nished the accused men in order that they
might make reply before action could be taken.
The exact nature of the charges is not yet
known. but they were evidently intended as
pretext for having the men either removed
reduced in salary and ordered to field duty
outside OF Washington. The accusations
which limited at iucompetcncy and conspir-
acy against the discipline and efficiency OF the
bureau were SO uuwarrante1 on their face
that they acted as boomerang and resulted
in the determination OF the President and
Secretary Gage to ask for General Duffields
resignation.
One of the accused men, Mr. Schatt, is
member OF the National Academy of Science
ana OF many learned societies ana is espe-
cial!y disting guished for his great labors ih the
nelu OF geodesy, magnetism and meteorology,

WHY NOT FUSION ALL AROUNDs

ME action of the Republican County Committee yesterday
in proposing fusion by which the Democratic and Popu
list committees will probably unite with it in nominating
nonpartan Board of Freehoers brings once again the
entire charter question 1t is plain to the most casual OBJ
that unless Committee of One Hundred enters
into spirit of this fusion ard takes advantage of It'll behalf
of its charter contest will which will be certain to
finally result in the defeat of any charter. This is true,
whether it fact not that the Election Commissioners
will recognize but the regular County Committees in the
appointment of precinct officers. The uppermost fact IS that
the practical politicians defeat any charter against which
they combine.
THE CALL has no other interest in charter than
such proceeds desire to the city honestly and
economically governed believes that the consolidation act
obsolete and that revision of the organic law demanded
by the exgences of the times San Francisco has been limp
ing along for many years with government which is COM
promise between special and general laws Supreme Court
decisions and ordinances of the Board of Supervisors 1t is
certainly true that of the modern theories of municipal
administrations should be put into effect in this city, and it is
equally that unless this is done-what with dollar limits
and confusion in the law-the city will itself become
obsolete.
Therefore, we feel that at this time disagreement
tween the Citizens Charter Committee and the regular political
committees would be public misfortune. There have been
no indications of disagreement except such appear the
efforts to promote dsension of dsreputabe morning
paper which is happy when covering up its
corruption by charging other with fraud and
spacy and while it is true that the members of the Citizens
Charter Committee deny the leadership of this Sheet there is
danger that of its may think the adoption of
its charter best be fhered by believing what says and
following its advice Such course, in opinion, however
can lead TO but resunamey the defeat of any charter
We have no hesitation in saying that the Committee of
One Hundred should make overtues for general fusion by
which Board of Freehoders may be elected favorable their
