specting the reward Of that hero. The
secretary Is puzzled by the conflicting
interests In this case. He intends to re-

this without Injustice to other meritor-

twenty years In time. He will become
senior officer OF the navy In n course OF
about fifteen years, and owing to his
youth, will retain that place no less
than twenty years. something absolute
" without precedent In the American
navy. These facts are being adduced
by naval officers who are desirous OF
finding some other means OF rewarding
our naval heroes. which, while thor
oughly satisfactory to them and their
friends, will work no injustice to others.
As an instance OF how the present
practice works, the officers point to
the fact that for his splendid achieve

seem, Instead OF a reward for his ex-
