New York, Dec. 24.-In accordance
with the instructions from Washington
issued on Saturday, Rear Admiral Bar
ker. conmandant of the navy yard in
Brooklyn, made a demand on Edgar
Stanton Maclay, the naval historian,
yesterday for his resignation as spe-

general storekeeper's department. Ma
clay had his answer prepared. and for
warded it to the commandant thru Pay
Director Putnam, who has charge of the
storekeeper's department Neither Rear
Admiral Barker nor Maclay would give
out the letter, but Maclay had this to
say:

Hogs received yesterday were lighter
