LIEUT.. HOBSON'S REV ARD
SECRETARY LONG ANXIOUS NOT TO
WRONG OTHER NAVAL OFFICERS.
Promotion of the Hero to Commander
Capt. Clark, of the Oregon, Suffered.

WASHINGTON June 23-Representative
Pearson, uncle of Naval Constructor Hob
son. had another long interview to-day with
Secretary Long respecting the reward of
that hero. The secretary is puzzled by the
conflicting interests in this case. He intends
to reward Hobson in accordance with the
merits of his feat, but would like to do this
without injustice to other meritorous Off
GERS. A study of the naval register shows
that If Hobson is advanced to the grade of
lieutenant commander he will have been
given a greater award than was ever known
in our naval history. Gushing got SIS num-
bers and gained one year and nine months
time in his record, yet Hobson, it is calcu-
lated, will be given, if made naval COM
mander, 34 numbers, and will gain twenty
years in time. He will become senior officer
in the navy in course of about fifteen
years, and owing to his youth will retain
place no less than twenty years, something
absolutely without precedent in the Amer
lean navy. These facts are being adduced
by naval officers who are DESTROYS of find
ing some other means of rewarding our
naval heroes which, while thoroughly salts
factory 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
achievement at Manila, Dewey gained only
ten numbers while. astounding as it may
seem. instead of a reward for his excellent
management and seamanship in bringing
the great battle ship Oregon successfully
through one of the most remarkable cruises
on record. Captain Clark actually lost three
numbers, through the promotion, over his

as a case in point, having suffered the loss
of several numbers, representing a year or
two of naval service, through the Manila

STAMPS NOT NECESSARY.
Money Order Business VIII Not BE
STONED on July 1.

WASHINGTON. June 23.-An almost to-
tai stoppage of money order business on
July l. it is said has been averted by an
agreement between the officials of the
Treasury and Postoffice Departments that
the law does not require stamps to be af-
fixed to domestic money orders. 1t would
be impossible, say the officials, to supply
stamps by that date. AS construed by the
officials the law requires simply an addi-
tional charge of the value of the stamps
to be made when the money order is issued.
The paragraph of the war revenue law in
regard to money orders reads as follows:
And from and after the first day of July,
1898, the provisions of this paragraph shall
apply as we'll TO original domestic money
orders issued by the government of the
United States and the price of such money
orders shall be increased by a sum equal to
the value of the stamps herein provided
for" The latter portion of the passage is
taken TO mean that stamps are not to be
used. This construction of the law will OBJ
viate the use of about thirty-two million
stamps each year. that being the approx
mate number of money orders issued anrtI-
ally. A circular to postmasters at money
order offices has been prepared by the
Postoffice Department directing them to
follow this ruling The blank applications
etc. now in use. need not be changed and
not until the stock hanG is exhausted
viii any change appear in money order
blanks.

Paper Sacks of Pepper.

OSHKOSH, Wis, June 23.-A serious riot
occurred here to-day as a result of the

for blocks. a number of them being struck
by stones and eggs. AS a consequence the
plant was ordered closed down. A similar
riot on smaller scale occurred last night
during which one man had his nose smashed
by stone. Serious trouble is anticipated
as the strikers are feeling ugly Several in
cendiary fires in the past few days are laid
to the strikers and 1t is feared resort to

would have killed him but for police inter-

BOND SUBSCRIPTIONS.
Statement from Secretary Gage That
Will Interest Bankers.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The following
statement was made at the Treasury De-
partment to-day: Among the many sub
scriptions for the smaller amounts of $6O0
or less daily received by the Treasury De-
partment there appear almost daily remit
tances from banks and smaller institutions
covering long list of subscribers in uni
form amounts of $500. In these cases one
large draft or check is inclosed for payment
of all the subscriptions. The fact that there
is O. small premium offered by large would
be investors fas stimulated certain persons
to secure pro forma subscriptions from peo-
pie who have no bona fide intention of in
vesting in the bonds. The pro forma sub
scriptions thus obtained are then forwarded
by the agency gathering them in with
draft in round sum for payment. 1t is cas-
lily to be seen that the fair purpose of the
law, which faVors an honest subscription by
the citizens of humber means may be thus
circumvented The treasury has watchtul
eye for such abuses, and where the case is
clear enough such subscriptions are uncere-
moniously returned to the sender. In other
cases where doubt exists the secretary has
prepared and will send the following letter:
Dear Sir-You are respectfully advised
that the several subscriptions of $500 each
inclosed by under date of -- and
accompanied by your check for s., are
not accepted, but are held in allegiance for
your further advice, II was the plain in
tent of Congress, in the legislation author
izng the issue of the, bonds now in ques-
ton, to give to persons of moderate means
the opportunity to invest their capital, or a
part of it, in the securities of the United
States the evident underlying thought being
that thus our frugal citizens would come
into a closer interest with the government
of which they form part. Whatever oper-
ates to defeat this thought and purpose de-
feats or circumvents the intention of Con-
gress as embodied in the law and circum-
stances surrounding the subscriptions for
warded by you as above referred to carry
a presumption that they are not expressions
of a bona fide purpose on the part OF the
pro forma subscribers to become investors in
and holders of the bonds applied for. On
the contrary, the presumption arises that
the subscriptions are really in the interest
of a class whose claims are distinctly de-
ferred until after 1.-The several subscriptions
of individuals shall be first accepted and
the lowest amounts first allotted The duty
of this department requires a reasonable,

those in whose behalf the law has special
regard The department, therefore, deems
it proper to require from you clear ana

Liberia Seeking a Protectorate.

Hartzell the representative of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church in Africa, has had
several conferences of late with Secretary
Day and other officials here relative to the
desirablity of having the United States CO.
operate with Great Britain in a protector
ate over the republic of Liberia. 1t is I'M
derstood that Bishop HartZell also has pre-
sented the matter to the British ambassa-
dor here. For the present however the at
tention of officials is SO absorbed in ques-
tons relating to the war that there is no
desire to take up a matter of this impor-
lance. 1t is said that a political represen-
tative of the Liberian republic, probably the
secretary of state, will arrive in this coun-
try before long to supplement the nrorma-
ton Bishop HartZell has presented.
