NO PAY FOR MOURNING DAYS.
Per Diem Employees of Government
Printing Office Included.

The controller of the treasury has rend-
cred a decision in which he includes the
per diem employees in the government
printing office as coming under his ruling
of October IA, in which he decided that the
day laborers on the new government print
ing Office were not entitled to pay for the
three days of official mourning occasioned
by the death of President Mckinley
In the ruling today he defines per diem
employe as one who is employed by the day
and paid a certain sum for days wages.
One who is not employed by the day, but
whose pay is measured by the day, is held
to be not per diem employe. Just who
the ruling will affect does not appear from
the decision.
The employees in the government printing
Office are classified as follows:
First. Those receiving annual salaries
Second. Those receiving pay by the day
or hour, who are continuously and perma-
nently employed.
Third: Those receiving pay by the day
or hour, who have been certified by the
civil service commission to be continuously
employed for a period not exceeding six
months.
Fourth. Those receiving pay by the day
or hour who have been certified by the
civil service commission to be continuously
employed, on probation, for six months, un-
less they are found to be incompetent be-
fore the end of that period.
Fifth. Those receiving pay by the day
or hour, as substitute watchmen and char
women, when actually employed, but who
do not receive pay for legal holidays or
any other days unless actually on duty"

Q. Did you see the commodore on the
day of the battle, July 8? A. Not during
the battle.
Report of Spanish Ship.
Q. When did you see him? A. On board
the New York, when the New York came
up after the surrender Of the Colon.
Q. Was there any conversation with the
commodore or did you hear the commodore
make any remarks on that occasion? A.
Yes, sir. A Spanish battle ship had been
reported as having arrived off Santiago and
the captain of the Resolute said he had
been pursued by her The admiral did not
seem to be very much impressed by this
report of the Spanish warship off Santiago
The admiral seemed incredulous, and I re-
member remarking that it might be the
Spanish fleet arriving to form conjunction
too late. The admiral did not say anything
at first and then turned and said: ''Well,
Clark. you go after that ship" Believing,
as I did, that really a Spanish battle ship
was there, said: Admiral, why not take
the Brooklyn along" He turned and said !:
Certainly, schley, you go, also" I said:
Commodore, we have knocked out several
out another one" He said: Certainly we
can; come along" What was impressed
with then was the cheerful manner OF the
commodore and his approving me for hay.

no feeling against me for suggesting It,

The Oregon ran between the Iowa and the
Texas and went to the westward and soon
after sighted four Spanish ships ahead. The
Spanish ships were apparently gaining so
much ground that l believed at that time
that they might be successful in their at
tempt to escape. But it was soon after
ward seen tina. we were gaining on at least
one of them, which afterward proved to
be the Maria Teresa, the flagship, and l
thought at the time to get the Oregon in
close action that 1t might not be exposed
to concentrated fire of all the ships.

''Just then the smoke cleared away to the
left and 1 sighted the Brooklyn. She was
well forward Of our port beam. with her
broadside to the enemy's feet. AS the Ore
gon was attempting to draw up to the
Maria Teresa the Brooklyn and Oregon
maintained their relative positions, which
were maintained approximately to the end
Of the battle. The Brooklyn was steaming
nearly straight ahead, as nearly as could
judge, and was engaged with all OF the
Spanish ships. The Oregon endeavored to
come to close action when one of the Span
ish ships was driven out of action and
pointed to the beach. and then pushing on
to the next ship we saw her driven
ashore
Capt. Clark hestated at this point, and
was then questioned by Mr. Rayner.
Signals Received.

signals on the day of the battle? A. Yes,

to the vessels following, thinking that they
might not see the Brooklyn and might see
US, and for that reason we repeated the
signal to them.
Q. Was there any other signal2 A. I re-
member signal, "One Of my compart-
ments is full of water" I recollect it be-
cause it peIplexed me a-little and feared
that the Brooklyn might have to haul out
and go ashore. 1 recall that 1 thought 1t
was given to me that l might have to con-
tinue the chase alone and 1t was given in
order that If she should go ashore l should

coast of Cuba. 1 also remember signal:
Congratulations on grand victory" There
were other signals, but these were the only
ones that impressed themselves on my
memory and the only ones that I can now
recall. i know that there were more, for
have since seen record of them.
Chase of the Colon.
Q. What distance was it when you were
engaged in chasing the Colon after the Wis.,
caya ran ashore? How many miles? A.
cannot tell. I have seen the chart and
have seen that a certain number Of miles
was given as the speed of the ship. I
suppose full speed was on the Oregon about
twenty minutes Of 10, when we turned to

Q. Can you tell me how many ships the
Brooklyn was engaged with when the

A. She was engaging four of the enemy's
feet.
Q. Did you see the turn Of the Brook

Q. How did the Brooklyn's fire appear to
you at that time? A. l remember seeing

PERMANENT CENSUS BUREAU.
Movement for It's Establish hment to Be
Renewed.

Movement for It's Establishment to Be
Renewed.
It is expected that the census committee
of both houses of Congress at the coming
session will consider legislation looking to
the establishment of a permanent census
bureau. This action has been agitated for
several year and the movement will be re-
newewd this session.
1t Is claimed at the census Office that ap-
proximately three-quarters of million dol
lars could be saved from the cost of the
next census If the officials could profit by
the knowledge and experience of the pres
ent census. A quintennial manufacturing
census also has been suggested
The idea, SO far as it has taken shape, and
as it probably will be outlined in bills to be
introduced in both houses, is to provide a
census force of 100 or 200 people. including.
far as possible, experts In each important
branch of inquiry.
Director Merriam today estimated that
the total population of the United States,
including the new possessions, in 1910,
would be about 100, 900 900 people. The work
of the present census is progressing rapid
ly and the first volume Of the report on the
population of the United States will be out
in December and the final report by July
next. The principal reports. it is claimed
are being gotten out over three years in ad-
vance of the usual time.

OPPOSED TO THE CANTEEN.
Feature of Gen. Miles Forth
coming Report.

More than usual interest attaches to the
annual report OF Lieut. Gen. Miles, just
submitted to the Secretary of War, for
the reason that it shows that he takes
issue with the Secretary of War and the
majority of officers of the army on the SUBJ
ject of the army canteen. The report has
not yet been made public, but 1t is known
that the canteen question is one of Its lead
ing features, and that Gen. Miles takes the
broad ground that the welfare of the army
no longer demands the canteen, and that
consequently no necessity exists for the
repeal of the anti-canteen law.
What makes General Miles present at
titude on this question more remarka bl c
than would otherwise have been the case is
the fact that in the past he has been one
of the strongest advocates of the canteen
system, and was partly responsible for It's
original Incorporation into the army sys-
tenn According to General Miles present
belief, the American soldier is better off
without the canteen. with it's beer and light
wines and it is said he presents statistics
to bear out his statement that the morale
of the army has Improved since the anti
canteen law has been in operation.
