IN DOUBT AS TO LEAVES.
The Comptroller to Pass Upon the
Act Granting Holidays.

Several questions of great Importance
to the employees of navy yards and the
printers and pressmen of the Census Office
Will shortly come before the Comptroller
OF the Treasury for decision The ques-
ton Of deep personal interest to the en-
ployes of the navy yards is the construc-
ton of the act of Congress approved Feb
ruary I giving the employees of the navy
yards fifteen working days leave of alb
sence.
This law provides THAT each and every
employee of the navy yards, gun factories,
naval stations, and arsenais of the United
States Government be, and is hereby,
granted fifteen working days leave Of alb
sence each year without forfeiture of pay
during such leave; Provided. That it shall
be lawful TO allow pro rata leave only to
those serving twelve consecutive months
OF more: And provided forther, That in
all cases the heads OF divisions shall have
discretion as 10 the time when the leave
can best be allowed without detTiment to
the service. and that absence on account
of sickness shall be deducted from the
leave hereby granted"
What the employees of the navy yards
are anxious TO find out is when does their
leave begin. This is one Of the questions
in connection with the above act that the
Comptroller will be called on to decide
in a few days. It has been decided by
the Navy Department that the leave Of
absence viii include all employees attached
To naval stations beyond the sea And
this view of the law VIII. it is understood,
be approved by the Comptroller; but the
Navy Department has also decided that
general appropriations for naval purposes
may be utilized for the expenses Of naval
stations in outlying territory The latter
question, however, viii no doubt have TO
be passed upon by the Comptroller
The question that the printers and
pressmen Of the Census Office are inter
esIed in is when viii they be entitled &c
their leave. An amendment was tackled
on 10 the Sundry Civil appropriation bill
before the adjournment Of Congress Dlac-
ing the employees in the Census printing
office on the same footing with the en-
ployes OF the Government Printing Office
in the matter Of annual leave The dis
bursting officer OF the Census, however, is
| in doubt as TO the construction of the
amendment He does not know whether
the employees VIII be entitled to pay for
leave for the remaining part Of this fiscal
year or whether the leave will begin at
the commencement Of the next fiscal year,
July / Last year the employees OF the
Census printing office had no leave. 1t
was iutimated this morning that the leave
question for the Census printing Office
employees viii be submitted to the Comp
trOil-r of the Treasury the first OF next

because the germs are in the blood and

Stuarts Eatarrh Tablets contain many
OF these same antiSeptiCS. that are used
IN sprays and inhalerS. but instead OF
applying them to the infiamed mem

taken into the stomach and thus reach

The remarkable success of these tablets
IN curing grip. Catarrh and throat and
lung troubles Is because they drive the
catarrhal poison from the system and the
