THEIR COURAGE REWARDED.
French Medals Sent to Two Sailors on
the Kentucky.

French Medals Sent to Two Sailors on
the Kentucky.
Through NJ. de Lanessan, the minister of
marine of the French republic, the Navy
Department has just received two beautiful
silver models and diplomas awarded to P.
Ausseress and Patrick Mullen, sailors on
the United States battle ship Kentucky, in
recognition of courage and devotion exhib-
tied by them on November IL in the port
of Algiers in rescuing four French sailors
who otherwise would have been drowned.
The French sailors were in boat which
capsized while they were trying to
cast loose a small buoy. The two Ken
tucky sailors leaped overheard from their
ship and held up the men in the water
until help arrived and they were taken
aboard. Admiral Servan. commanding the
French fleet, returned formal thanks to
Captain Chester of the Kentucky for the
fraternal and spontaneous action of devo-
tion on the part of the American sailors
and the minister of marine accompanied
the medals and diplomas with handsome
letter of tribute to the mems gallantry.
The medals themselves are remarkably
beautiful in design, the face showing the
profile of the French Goddess of Liberty
and the diverse setting out the names of
the recipients above the words Courage
and devotion"
A point involved was whether the med
ais could be accepted in the absence of an
act of Congress, and Secretary Hay held
they could, inasmuch as the men were not
officers.

Big Liner Had Considerable Damag,
Done to Decks.


NEW YORK. March 25.-The Cunard line
steamer Etruria, which arrived last night
from Liverpool and Queenstown, was de-
tained in the lower hay on account of a
dense fog which, prevailed all night She
reached quarantine early today. Heavy
weather was encountered March q and
81, commencing with a westerly gale,
which changed to the northwest, blowing
a hard gale, with fierce hail squalls and
high seas. The seas boarded the ship and
caused considerable damage about the dock
and to the boat docks. Several passengers
were bruised, and some sustained injuries
requiring the attention of the ships sur
geon. An Irish girl, one of the steerage
passengers, became so alarmed at the vio-
lent pitching and tossing of the steamer
that she became demented. She is still
very Ill.
A second cabin passenger named Freder-
lex SawiCki, a Roumanian, committed sui
eide by hanging. His body was buried at
sea.
The Anchor line steamer Britannia, which
ports, Is detained at quarantine owing to a
case Of smallpox among the steerage pas
sengers. The patient was sick nearly all
the voyage, but Is conyalescing. He was
isolated carefully, and 1t is thought there
IS no danger Of exposure of the well pas
sengers.
Health Officer Doty Is making a careful
examination of the passengers and crew
There are 651 steerage passengers and six
be sent to North Brothers Island. The
passengers will be vaccinated and the
steamer thoroughly disinfected before she
is allowed to proceed.

In the matter of the proposed extension

not the other train was on the siding until
it was too late Continuing past the siding
at a rapid rate of speed, the Washington
accommodation crashed into the advancing
sOuthbound train.
Attention was called to the fact that
motor No. Z of the southbOund train was
much less severely injured than was motor
No. 0 of the northbound train The plat
form of No. was reduced to mass of
spIinters and broken machinery. 1t was
explained that No ! was protected by
heavy ironworks extending from center to
center of the car around the front portion.
This, it was stated, was a recent improve
mcnt.
The accident was perhaps the worst that
has occurred in the history of the road.
Near the same point about six months ago
a wreck occurred, in which Motorman
Joseph Grigg sustained injuries from which
he died. 1t is said to be the intention of
the company to extend the sidings at Ar
lington Junction and siding No. 8, so that
double track will be established between
those points.

HURRICANE SPREADS HAVOC,
South Pacific Islands Swept by q Ter
rifle Storm.

VICTORIA, B. c., March 25-Mail ad-
vices from Suva bring details of hurri-
cane which recently wrought much havoc
in the south Pacific. The storm which
swept over New Caledonia, especially on
the east ncoast, was the worst in many
years.
Two large sailing vessels and a steamer
were lost. The steamer Hero was driven
on the rocks at Kouaoua, and, together
with several barges loaded with nickel, she
foundered. The bark Emil Galline was
swept to disaster on the coast at Tchio,
and the new four-masted ship Willie du
Havre, partly loaded with nickel ore, was
stranded at Noumeax, where she soon
broke up. The loss of life was lare, it is
said.
Tonga and Fiji also suffered, the former
islands the most. At Mukulofa among the
small craft wrecked was the kings yacht.
The master lost his life in the attempt to
save the yacht.
A large number Of coast vessels were
wrecked at the Fijis and other damage
was done. The Island of Matuku was
swept by a tidal wave and over 100 houses
were blown or swept away by the incom-
ing waters. Many lives are reported lost.

MUST GIVE RECORDS AND REASONS
New Plan to BE Adopted i'm Recon-

New Plan to BE Adopted i'm Recon-
mendinE Treasury Promotions.
Secretary Gage has just signed a circular
to heads of bureaus. chiefs and other high
officials of the treasury having in charge
the recommendation of clerks and other
employees for promotion, radically changing
the system of recommendations. Hereto
fore it has been the custom for the head of
a bureau to submit bare recommendation,
no reason being given and no details of the
record of the clerk being presented. The
order. which follows, changes this:
Hereafter, In making recommendations
for promotion Of clerks and others in your
respective offices, you are directed to state
In each case recommended the date Of the
last promotion of the clerk or other en-
ploye. the class of work upon which the
clerk or other employe is engaged, his or
her aptitude for the general work of the
bureau or division in which employed, the
standing of the clerk or other employe In
regard to punctuality, attendance and at
tention to duty, and especially whether or
not the person SO recommended is, by COM
par1son with the other clerks or employes
in the bureau or division, the best entitled
10 the promotion, by reason of his or her
ability, experience and the zeal and fidelity
displayed in the discharge of his or her
duties"
plan looks to a better carrying out of the
civil service reform principles. He will
himself take greater interest in promo
tions under this plan and will probably
pass upon some Of the cases presented to
him by going into the papers fully, analyz-
Ing the reasons given for promotion, etc. It
is also believed that the knowledge that
this system will be enforced will have a
good effect in the punctuality and attend
ance Of employees.
