which threatens thtt province was anti

Rear Admiral Sampson has received q
body blow from an unexpected quarter,
and is to be deprived OF his adm!rals pay
from Aug. 10, whenth e was appointed by
the President i'll advance of Schiey. TO the
adjournment Of Congress. Acting Con-
trolier of the Treasury Mitchell has held
that as the Senate sid nes confirm the =
Presidents appointment he can draw no
pay as such, hut only since his regular
appointment nuder the naval personnel
| bill, by which he becomes junior to
Schley. The Controller decides an adj
vancement III rank is lot complete until
confirmed by the Senate, and hence no
pay can accrue until the promotion is
legally completed. This decision Will tend
to stop the Sampson -Schley controversy,
for if Sampson is barred out Of his extra
pay there rgotll,i Demo advantages in re-
| opening the matter, as be is now Il rear

as such, although stll junior to Schley

The revival Of the story that he War
Department has lei army clothing con-
tracts to sweat shoes in the large cities,
notably at Philadelphia, is pronounced
by army quarternasters absolutely UNI
true. No large contracts for made uni
forms have been awarded lately. and all
the work is to be Zone in factories. In
spectors are employed to observe closely
the methods Of the contractors. and re-
port that manufacturer is having his
finishing done outside his plant leads
to reflections Of he material.

Under the system adopted by the War
Department. the Volunteer regiments will
| be national in character, and yet each
command viii be made up of men from
the same locality. so the regiments VIII 4
have the necessary local pride in their
identity. There viii be stra9c}ers in al
| the regiments. but as a rule the men vii
| be near neighbors and there will be gooL 81
natured rivalry III seeing which section d DR.
the country is first in filing up its reg N
ment. The first regiment to BE- fully Il ##
ganized and drilled will stand the hes W
chance Of an oariy cali for active duty. M
