Pay Roll of the Army for Past Fiscal
Year.

Paymaster General Bates, in his report
says that the pay of the army for the
past fiscal year was S53 215 .345. an increase
over the previous year of 81. .301 1854. He
makes several recommendations relative to
the army pay system. the most important
being that officers of the pay corps be no
longer compelled to furnish bonds. He
says that this should especially apply to
officers detailed for pay service under the
new law they get no increased rank and
are compelled to pay from 800 to $50 when
SO detailed. Most of the officers prefer COM
mands in the line to such work. He saws
that engineer officers handle and dlsburse
millions or dollars, and are not required
to give bond, and only in one or two in
stances has the government sustained any
loss
General Bates recommends amendments
to the statutes governing retirements, so
as to provide follows:
Hereafter officers retired from active ser
vice shall receive IS per centum of the pay
of the rank upon which they We're retired
provided, they are retired on account of In
cident of service, or II retired on account
of age they shall have had at least thirty
years of service as officers enlisted men
officers retired On account of age who
have had less than thirty years of service
as officers enlisted men. shall receive a
proportionate amount Of 75 per centum of
the maximum pay of the rank on which
they are retired.
Regarding the clerical force of his office
General Bates says:
THE experience of the past year and es-
pecially those months during which the vol
unteers were being mustered out has again
demonstrated the efficiency and value of a
corps of clerks trained to administrative
action army paymasters accounts. AS
rapidly as the troops arrived all rolls on
which they had been previously paid so far
as received in this Office, were examined
and a complete statement of the result for
warded to the chief mastering officer at
San Francisco, thus rendering possible the
collection of many amounts which would
otherwise have been lost.
only highly trained and Jealous force
could have so successfully met the de-
mands upon them, and l earnestly recon-
mend that when the increase in the per-
manent force of the Office. made necessary
by the increase in the regular army, shall
be made. Congress will provide for the
transfer from the temporary force of the
office to the permanent force of such of
those clerks as may be necessary, whose
value has been proved by Yaithful and in
telligent service and whose training should
inure to the benefit of the government
rather than to make new appointments with
no practical experience in the important
work of auditing army accounts.
Il also recommend legislation establish
| ing some system of retirement for old
| clerks who have served at least thirty
years

Autumn In Maryland.


There is an Incompatible beauty in these
autumn days, a mellowness and ripeness
like reflection from the heavily laden or
chards. which can be seen at no other time
Of the year. The nip and eagerness in the
morning air sends the blood coursing
Tough the veins as though under the
stimulous OF old wine. There is life and
buoyancy in every breath. The sun shines
warmly through an atmosphere of tinted
crystal and with deft touches brings into
life the slumbering beauties of the autumn
woods. Banners of gold and crimson and
maroon hang gracefully on the swaying
branches bright and splendid against the
green background. Slowly, as II to mark
the passing Of the enchanting moments,
nuts drop one by one from the trees and
the echo Of their striking resounds through
the quiet woodlands. The stream Is Just a
Httle clearer and its music on its pebbly
bed little sveeter in these autumn days
The ripening season comes slowly on. Jack
Frost is just severe enough to help Old Sol
in spreading his Incompatible decorations,
and not keen enough to wither the foliage
and leave the trees bare and dreary-the
melancholy autumn scene Of the more

The Return Toward Santiago.

Dropping the matter Of the Nunez re-
port. Captain Lemly asked:
when you returned toward Santiago on
the afternoon of May % was 1t because you
believed the Spanish squadron was there
or because you intended merely to deter
mine whether or not it was there?"
II intended to decide the matter as well
as | could
You had then determined to ascertain
definitely whether Cervera's fleet was in
the harbor?"
Yes. that was my intention"
why on that day, then, and after hav-
ing coaled the Texas and the Marblehead,
and before you had seen the Spanish ships,
did you signal that you would keep off
Santiago until further orders?"
Simply because If not found there I
would do so.'
You did not make that condition in your
signal?"
II did not"

Replying to further questions, Admiral
Schley said that he considered that his
blockade at Santiago had begun or May

your blockade then you complied with the
order received on the 23d, and acted with
all dispatch. as required by that order?'

during the first few days after the arrival
of the flying squadron Off Santiago, in
the course OF which Admiral Schley said
1t had not been his intention to remain in
that vicinity If he had not found the Span
ish fleet there. Captain Lemly said:
You have stated that off Cienfuegos the
formation during the day was such as to
fetgn disorder as an invitation to the Span
iards to come out"

were not in column steaming."

In the daytime, yes. While we retained

very close to each other. I mean we were
not steaming in front Of the harbor as we
did at night"
Then you did adopt the same ruse?"
Yes. generally"

opponents by a score of six points
to three.
A better condition CT affairs could

when he objected to Mr.. Miller being

AS THEY PASS
PEOPLE GATHER IN VILLAGES
AND AT STATIONS.
To Get a Sight of the Royal
Train on its Passage to
the West.

Fort Williams, Ont, Sept. 25.-
Special trains bearing Duke and Och.
ess of Cornwall and their travelling
companions westward to I.ritish Co.
lumbia spent the day on north shore
of Lake Superior and by night had
put Fort William and the lake behind
them and were speeding on towards
Manitoba.
The days run was for the most part
through long stretches of sparcely
settled country but at all the widely
separated towns and villages people
gathered to offer their cheers and vel
come to the royal party. There were
lumbermen, hunters and miners and
some Indians in the little crowds and
the welcome was always a hearty one.
The railway stations were all decorat-
ed and each little settlement had a
display of flags and bunting. The
largest crowd was gathered at Chap
leu, which was passed at daylight,
and far to the westward after night
had come people were still gathered
about the stations as the trains swept
past.
The royal train stopped for an hour
at Bolkow to allow the party to dress
and the duke left his car for a brisk
walk. Both the duke and duchess
took a lively interest in the country
through which they passed and great
ly enjoyed the wild rugged scenery.
They were particularly interested in
the 60 mile run along Lodges and
promontories on the lake shore from
Heron bay to Jackfsh bay. The lake
was constantly in sight and the views
along the rock trimmed coast were a
succession Of impressive pictures.
The earlier hours of the day were
bright but in the middle of the after
noo it began raining and the temper
ature fell to chillness.
The duke and duchess will reach
Winnipeg at noon tomorrow, and al
terations in plans which will extend
their stay were made today. They
had intended to leave there late in
the afternoon but have now decided
to remain for dinner at government
house and will not resume their jour-
ney until late tomorrow night.
