ant Commander in the Navy.

WASHINGTON, June 17-Representative

son, has introduced joint resolution ten
dering the thanks of Congress to Hobson,
and authorizing his transfer from the con-
struction corps to the line of the navy with
resolution follows.
american people are due and are hereby
rendered to Assistant Naval Constructor
Richmond Pearson Hobson and to the vol
unteer crew on the Merrimac for eXtraor-
binary heroism displayed by them in OBJ
structing the harbor of Santiago, Cuba, on
June g. 1885, in sinking at the entrance of
said harbor the collier Merrimac, and there
by preventing the exit of the. Spanish fleet.
which enterprise was successfully executed
notwithstanding the combined fire of the
fleet and batteries of the enemy
That in recognition of this signal act of
gallantry the President is hereby authorized
to transfer Assistant Naval Constructor
HoDson from the construction corps to the
line or the United States navy with the
rank OF lieutenant commander, and to place
his name seventy-ffth on the active list of
lieutenant commanders.

affairs committee for action. The resolu-
ton followed conferences with the President
and the secretary of the navy. Senator
Morgan introduced duplicate of the Under
wood resolution in the Senate. He said the
provision for the transfer of Mr.. Hobson to
the line of the navy was inserted at the re-
quest of Mr.. Hobson's father.
