THE PERSONNEL BILL.
Status of Officers of the Engineer
Corps Defined.

Corps Defined.
An opinion of considerable interest to
naval officers has been rendered by So
licitor General Richards, for the Attorney
General, in the case of Chief Engineer
George H. Kearny. This officer, under the
provisions of the Naval Personnel act,
was transferred from the Engineer Corps
to the line as a commander, he having
attained that relative rank before the Per
sonnel act became a law. Objection was
made to this by the line officers, who con-
tended that the act contained pro-
vision which would cause Mr.. Kearny to
take a place among the lieutenant COM
manders. This provision was to the effect
that engineer officers who were graduated
from the Naval Academy between 1868 and
1876 should take rank in the line next
after line officers who were graduated at
the same time. AS Mr.. Kearny was grad
uated within that period, it was contended
classmates, some of whom were lieutenant
commanders.
Another provision of the act, however, is
that officers of the Engineer Corps hav
ing the relative rank of captain, COM
mander, and lieutenant commander should
take rank in the line, according to the
dates they obtained such ranks. In sub
mitting the case to the Attorney General
the Navy Department, by Judge Advocate
General Lemly, held that the last-men-
toned clause should be the rule in such
cases, and that Mr.. Kearny was entitled
to be borne on the lists as a commander.
The Attorney General sustains this view.

REVENUE CUTTER CHANGES.
Bilge KeeIs VIII Be Fitted to Several
Rolling Vessels.

The Treasury Department has directed
that bilge-keels be fitted to the United
States revenue cruiser Gresham, now at
New York. Similar orders. it is said will
be issued with respect to the revenue
cruisers Algonquin, onondaga, Manning,
and McCulloch. All five vessels were built
during the last two years. They are ex-
eeilent seacraft, but vicious rollers. The
McCulloch on her passage across the At
iantlc TO join Admiral Deweys fleet rolled
SO heaVily during a storm that it was
reared, on one occasion, that she would
be lost. After the capture of Manila the
commanding officer OF the McCulIoch re-
eeiyed permission from Admiral Dewey 10
take on board 100 tons of ballast. A lot
OF pig iron was found at the Cayite arsenal
and as soon as this was stored below n
marked improvement was reported in the
vessels stability.
The Manning earned the reputation dur
ing last summer of being one of the live
lest gun-platforms in the North Atlantic
feet. This ship. It is stated, would often
be rolling in spirited fashion while other
vessels in company in the squadron were
comparatively steady. AS a sea-going
craft, however the Manning, for her size.
has, it is said. few superiors. She has
been tested in some very heavy weather
on the New England coast. \ vessel may
be very quick roller, 1t is declared, and
yet by no means be unsafe. A steady shin
Is more likely TO be overturned in a high
running sea. Liberal metacentric height
is usually accompanied by quick rolling
qualities.
In fitting bilge- -keels to the new cruisers
the revenue cutter officials are following
the practice which has obtained in the
case Of a number Of gunboats of the Navy.
Comfort for the crews and increased
steadiness of platforms are the considera
tons at issue. The bilge-keeI for the
Gresham will have width of ten inches.

THE PRESIDENTS VACATION.
He VIII Leave for Hot Springs, Va,
Monday Afternoon.

It has been definitely decided that Presi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley Will leave for
Hot Springs. Va, Monday afternoon about
O'Clock. over the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway. Assistant Secretary Cortelyou
and one or two White House clerks will
accompany them, and possibly Few per-
scnal friends. The party will be away
from Washington ten days or two weeks.
President Mckinley has recently been
suffering from an attack of rheumatism
and is in need of rest. 1t is believed that
the baths of the Springs will greatly bene-
fit him, and it was with this in view that
Dr. Dixey, the Presidents physician, rec
commended the Virginia resort.
Hot Springs is located on an elevation
1900 feet above the level of the sea. and
is surrounded with beautiful mountain
scenery. The resort is only eight hours
ride from Washington and of easy access.
The arrangements for the trip have not
been completed but it is probable that
special train will be furnished the Presi-
dent by the railway company. Secretary
and Mrs. Gage are already at Hot Springs
and Secretary Alger will probably stop
there before returning to Washington from
Chicago.
No business except of the most imper-
ative nature viii be transacted by the
President while he is away. His vacation
will interfere with but few of his engage
ments, which have been made with the
understanding that they could be broken
at any time. Yesterday afternoon dele
cation from Pennsylvania called on the
President to renew the invitation extend
ed to him to attend the unyeiling of the
monument at Fairmount Park, Philadel-
phia, May u, erected in commemoration
of General Hartranft, former Governor of
Pennsylvania. The delegation was COM
posed of Representative olmstead, Major
Isaac B. Brown, S. ]. NJ McCarrel, ]. B.
Seal, F. B. McLain, and E. c. Gering.
They invited the President in concurrence
with a joint resolution adopted by the
Legislature of Pennsylvania. requesting
that he and the Cabinet officers attend
the unveiling. Mr.. Mckinley was compeil-
ed to decline the invitation in consequence
of his vacation.
While at Hot Springs the President will
occupy the cottage of President ingalls,, of
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.
