RESTORATION TO ACTIVE LIST.
Secretary Longs Views on the Bill
Relating to Retired Officers.

Secretary Long has made a favorable re-
mort on the bill Ito restore retired officers
Of the navy 10 the active list"
I'm the opinion of the department. he
says. when an officer on the retired list
who is placed there for disabilities incurred
in the line of duty. RECEIVERS his health he
should. if in other respects desirable. be re-
stored To the active list. in order that the
government may receive the beneht or his
services difficulty presented by this
course. however is the determination on
the place of the navy list to which man
40 restored to active duty shall be assigned.
since to put him III the place which he
would have occupied had he remained In
activc service would appear to be injus-
tice 10 those who have performed their du-
ties and acquired experience during the
period OF his absence ON the other hahu
IL given the actual place which he held
when he left the service II would make him

who were his juniors when he retired. The
present measure. since It provides that Off
GERS restored shall be carried as addi-
tional TO the number of each grade to which
they may be appointed, or thereafter at any
time promoted, appears to meet these OBJ
jections. and. in its present form. Is deemed
by the department to DO understandable,
subject, however to certain suggestions.
The Secretary enumerates the changes In
the bill necessary to meet the points he
raised. and says that "in view Of the need
of additional officers for active service in the
navy. it would be well to enlarge the scope
of the proposed enactment. SO as to author
ize the reinstatement OF officers who re-
signed from the service In a state Of honor,
well those discharged pursuant to the
provisions of the act of August 5. 1882.
1t is believed that, guarded as the
provisions Of section are. they are free
from features prejudcial to the service. and
will doubtless operate to place in the navy
number OF men especially qualified for
duty at time when the services of addi-
tional officers are urgently needed"

LONDON. May 1.-THE Times publishes
this morning a letter from its Odessa cor
respondent. dated May 9, in which he COM
ments upon the suspicion and jealousy with
which official circles in Russia are watching
the progress of the Turkish-American dis

important article, sanctioned by the Turk

policy Of the United States IL prompted
by the necessity Of finding now outlets for

Commenting upon the report that the
United States government was prepared to
dispatch hostile fleet to Europe, the writ
err of the article hints strongly that Russia
would head the powers in preventing such
a violation of Turkish waters.

The native women of this vicinity, almost without exception, are now de- voting their time and energies to gath ering the wild berries which are to be found in great profusion on the sur rounding hilIsides. Monday we saw an old dame, who looked as if she had lived a century or two of toll and trouble, tottering up the street under load that would make pack animal rise up on his hind legs and snort. She wore a prospector's harness, which kept in place a five gallon can of berries,and on top of that was bulky collection of berries tied up in an old calico apron, and in each hand she carried two-gal- lon pail filled to the brim. That her load was heavy and fatiguing and caus- ed her to perspire freely, was evidenced by the fact that her garments from waist to hem were wringing wet. A small nut brown boy with leaky nose and a crimson stained mouth accom- panied her and rendered invaluable as sistance by stopping to rest whenever the old woman got tired.
