Although it is difficult to ascertain the

in military circles that Capt. William Cro-
zier, one Of the youngest officers Of the
ordnance department., who Is now on duty
at the Sandy Hook proving grounds, is
slated for the prospective vacancy at the
head of the ordnance department. He is
junior to twenty-nine other ordnance off,

the ordnance department, regardless of
rank, is eligible for detail as chief of that

the rank of lieutenant colonel shall receive

Decision Regarding "Clerks" I'm Bu'

Decision Regarding "Clerks" I'm Bu-
reau of Engraving.
Mr. TracewelI, the controller of the treas
ury, has rendered a long and important
decision regarding leaves Of absence and
sick leaves of employees of the bureau OF
engraving and printing. The decision is in
response to the following inquiry from the
Secretary of the Treasury:
Mr. Edward Lamasure, accountant, bu-
reau of engraving and printing, has been
absent from the department. on account OF
sickness, in excess of the thirty days al
lowed by law (see chap 154, page 81. vol.
81, L. s. s., and now makes application
for pay for said excessive time, and your
opinion is asked as to whether or not he Is
entitled thereto.
Provision for the pay of Mr.. Lasamure
for the current fiscal year is included In
the act making APPROPRIATION for the leg
islative, executive an judicial expenses OF
the government (see page 9I9, second ses-
sion Fifty-sixth Congress, 19o0-19O1, U. 8.
Statutes).
.'The question as to the time that may
be allowed as leave of absence on account
OF sickness or other causes to employees
whose salaries are provided for in the sun
dry civil bill is not involved.
The controller says, after referring 10
the special provision restricting leaves OF
employees of the bureau of engraving ana
printing:
1T is also to be observed that the gen
eral provision for leaves of absence made
for the executive departments by it's terms
includes clerks and employees, while the
special provision for the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing by it's terms includes en-
ployes only. / think it must be held, there
fore. that the special provision for the
bureau does not exempt clerks of the
bureau from the general provision which
is applicable to the Treasury Department,
including the bureau.
THE distinction between clerk and an
employe cannot always be readily made.
These terms are in fact frequently inter-
changeable. But for the purpose of this
question 1 think you may be guided by the
consideration that all persons who are en-
ployed or appointed under the appropria-
tions for the bureau as clerks are to be so
regarded for the purposes herein consider
ed. l also think that the term accountant
as used in the legislative appropriation act
of March 3. 1901. is not to be distinguished
from the term clerk
II have the honor, therefore, to advise
You that you are authorized to grant leave
OF absence to Mr.. Lamssure, with pay, on
account of sickness. IL you deem his case
exceptional and meritorious, as provided by
law. not to exceed thirty days in any one
calendar wear"

INVESTIGATION.
Share Of Responsibility Of Army Of
Acers, IL Any, to BE

Acting Secretary Sanger of the War De-
partment is conducting a quiet but thor
ough investigation Of the panic at the
east front Of the Capitol during the Nc
Kinley obsequies last Tuesday with view
to determining the share of responsibility,
If any, of army officers for that unfortunate
occurrence. He has called for statements
from all army officers having any knowl-
edge of the affair with view to gather
ing the facts. One Of these Is General
Randolph, chief Of the Artillery Corps, who
had immediate direction of all military ar
rangements at the Capitol for the pro-
lection of the Presidents remains lying
in state.
Gen. RandoIph's Position.
Although General Randolph declines to
make any statement in regard to the mat
ter at this time, It Is known that he dis
claims all responsibility for the misman-
agement of affairs at the Capitol plaza
1t is said that he holds that his duties ap-
piled solely to the reception of the remains
at the Capitol and their care in the build
ing until removed to the railroad station
According to his view he had nothing what
ever to do with the direction or control OF
the people until after they entered the
Capitol building, believing, it is said. that
the Capitol and local policemen would at
tend to the crowds outside
Gen. Brooke to Make Statement.
Another officer said to have been called

an officer at the head of the military pro-
cession ordered the fifteen mounted police
men who had been stationed on the plaza
for the preservation of order to give up the
places they had taken, and that the panic
followed soon after their departure. 1t
will be for General Brooke to say if such
order was given. and if SO. on whose re-
sponsibility.
