jections to certain forms of expression in
President McKiniey's proclamation with
relation to the Philippines in December.
1898.
The letter says that General Otis pro-
ceeded to amend the Presidents proclama-
ton by striking out everything in it which
contains purpose to assume sovereignty
or protection. and which was significant OF
future political domination: and instead
thereof he issued proclamation. in which
he suppressed all these utterances, and as
sures them that 1t is the purpose of the
people of the United States to give them
in every possible way the full measure of
individual rights and liberty which is the
heritage of free people
This assurance Mr.. Hoar expresses his
approval of, but says that uahappily it
was frustrated
In conclusion. Senator Hoar says:
Il am a son of Massa chuSetts. For more
than three score years and ten I have sat
at her dear feet. l have seen the light
from her beautiful eyes. / have heard
high counsel from her lips. She has taught
me to love liberty; to stand by the weak
against the strong, when the rights of the
weak are in PERIL she has led me to be-
leVe that If l do this, however humbly,
however imperfectly. and whatever other
men may say, 1 shall have her approba-
ton, and shall be deemed not unworthy of
her love. Other men will do as they please.
But as for me, God helping me, can do no
otherwise"

LINE AND ENGINEER OFFICERS,
Secretary Long on the Policy of His
Department.

Secretary Long has written a letter to
the acting chairman of the House naval
committee in regard to the policy of assign
ing line officers to engineer duty and for
mer engineer officers to line duty In ac-
cordance with the intent of the personnel
law. The Secretary said:
Referring to what was said yesterday
when yourself and other members of the
House committee on naval affairs called on
me, and especially to the suggestions of
Mr.. Butler, 1 find that on the 18th of De-
cember last orders were given out that &
line officer, who has not previously been in
the engineer corps, and who is next in rank
to the navigator of each vessel, shall, where
there is no officer for regular engineer du-
ty be assigned to duty in charge of the
engineer department of the ship, instead of
having charge Of a line division.
1.-The policy of the department Is, in or
der to carry out the spirit of the personnel
ell. to give former engineer officers, who
are hereafter to perform line duty relief
from engineer duties at sea, in order that
they may have every opportunity to pre-
pare themselves to pass the examination
required for line duties. This seems Justice
to them. Then, further, the policy is, pur-
suing the same end, to provide that at
least one officer on every ship who has al
ways been of the line shall be assigned to
duty In the engineer department. so that he
may get that experience. In other words,
that former engineer officers, who are here
after to do line duty, may learn line duty,
and line officers may learn to do engineer
duty"
