SYSTEM OF PROMOTIONS.
Secretary Long Has u New Plan for the
Navy.

sNhNys
Washington, Sept. 5.-The Navy De-
partment has officially recognized the
injustice attending the degrading of
159 officers through the promotion of
participants in naval engagements at
Manila and Santiago and upon minor
occasions In the war with Spain by
preparing n bill which Secretary Long
will ask Congress to substitute for sec
tlons 1906 and 1907, which permitted
the promotion of officers not exceeding
thirty numbers with the consent of
the Senate, "for eminent and conspicu-
Gus conduct in battle or extraordinary
heroism."
In this measure Secretary Long has
devised to reward brave officers with
medal of honor and an increase of 10
per cent. in their pay as long us they
may live. Curiously enough. 1t Is not
contemplated that this amendment to
the law shall correct the injustice al
ready accomplished. but its provisions
are designed wholly for subsequent
cases.
The surgeon general of the navy has
asked for proposals, to be opened Oc-
tober 18th. for the construction of n
model naval hospital mt Mare island,
California, under congressional ap-
preparation of 100000 The plans are
of the most modern type, conforming
to the latest hospital practice at home
and abroad. and provide for indefinite
expansion.
The Navy Department closed n con-
tract to-day with Tiffany for Admiral
Dewey's sword. the consideration be-
ing $1,000 The remaining $1,000 of
the congressional appropriation will he

Washington, Sept. IA wide investi-
cation of spcciOus bids under the last
call for subscriptions to government
bonds has been completed by Solicitor
o'Conncll of the Treasury Department
and to-day he submitted to Secretary
Gage the mass of testimony in the

The reports indicate that millions of

rect interest in them and subscribed
their names simply at the request Of,
or in consideration of compensation by
other parties, or the bids bore sigma
lures that Were forgcrlcs.
Secretary Gage said tonight that the
Investigation showed that large

said he had no doubt, however, that In

HOUSTON (Texas), Dec. 0-Thomas
Tinsley, a New York millionaire, who
has been in Jail here for twenty-five
months for contempt of court, to-day
partially purged himself and will to-
morrow be permitted to go free.
Tinsley, as President of the Glenwood
Cemetery Company, refused to turn
over the books of the company to re-
ceiver appointed by the court. After
his committal to Jail he appealed to the
State Court of Appeals, State Supreme
Court, Federal Court, Circuit Court, and
finally to the Supreme Court of the
United States. all of which upheld the
District Judge.
Tinsley contended that while Presi-

books were his private property, and
that Thomas Tinsley, the individual,
was not charged with contempt.
