WASHINGTON LETTER.


From our Regular Cerrespendsnt.
A statement was recently
made at the War Depart
ment to the, representatives
OF the press, to the eff ec t
that the Navy Department
desired the army transports
Grant, Hancock, Relief and
Lawton; thnt the Lawton
having been purchased from
an emergency fund appro--
priated by Congress for use
OF either the Navy orthe War
DEPARTMENTS, should be turn
ed over, and that Congress
woald be asked, practically
as a matter OF formahtv, to
enact a measure authorizing
the transfer ofthe other three
vessels. 1t was given out
that the War Department.
had no further use for these
transports but that the Sec
retary of the Navy could use
them as receiving ships, etc ,
to advantage. On the faca
of it there was nothing sur
prislng in the statement, and
several editors, without look
ing INTO the subject have sta
ted thatit was the duty OF
Congress to pass the desired
bill, A little investigation,
however. would have reveal.
ed in this simple plan an ef-
fort to hide from the public
a new evidence OF the fearful
extravaganza, to express it
mildly. which charactized the
actions OF War Department
in connection with the pur-
chase OF army transports in
the curly days of theSpanish
American war. Investigation
reveals the fact thatthe War
Dppar tnIeDt purchased the
vessels mcd at most ex-
travagant figures. The Grant
cost the government $500
900. the Relief $450.000. the
Hancock $500. 900 and the
Lawton $500 900. After
purchase, an amount closely
nproximating 81 900. 900,
was expended Tor fitting them
.out'as transports, A com.
paratively short time ago,
the War Department. adyer-
tised extensively for bids on
the 10 longer needed trans
ports and finally received a
number. 1t was then stated
that the bids were so low
that none would be accepted
but their actual amount was
withheld on the ground that
to publish it would be to de,
preeiate the value OF govern
ment property, 1t now trans
pires that the total amount
offered FOR the four vessels,
which has cost the govern
ment $3.210.C0O was less
than 5000. 900. As these fig
ures would have called atten-
tiOn anew to the eXtrava-
gance of the Department
officials, it was determined to
suppress the bids and the

persuaded to say that he
would take the vessels, pro-
vided Congress would an
thorize the transfer. The IN
ci,ient recalls the ease Of the

l.y sunk in the entrance tC
Santiago harbor. The ven.
erable collier had cost the
government $400 900 at the
beginning OF the war an ! was
hardly sen worthy when sunk
she WAS not worth the cost
of repairs neccessary to make
her useful in any capacity
and When the news came she
had been sunk in Santiago
harborlt lifted a consider
weight from the minds OF the
officials in Washington, who
dreaded the publication Of
the facts. Ii Congress com
plies with the wishes of Sec
retary Root it will appropri
ate the snm OF $3 210 600
for the purchase of the trans
ports above named. by the
Navy Department, from the
War Department, and thus
the archives of the War De.
partment will show that the
ships were sold for what they
cost.

marked a prominent deOm-
cratic politician recently, ap
ropos of the extremely dip
lomatic report which Col.
Wright made on the Penn,
sylvania coal strike situa,
tion. The statement with all
that it implies is most expires
sive OF the popular opinion
of Col. Wright among the
members of both , parties.
Col. Wright does not mis-
state facts, but be has a con,
venient way of arranging
them 80 that they are sure,
by theirjuxtaposition it may
be. to represent the views OF
hatever President NAV be

connection a little item of
ancient history is interesting
Col. Wright some years ago
prepared a statement of the
wages paid to the cotton op-
eratives in Germany, Eng
land'and the United States.
The administration was R5-
publican, stood for high pro-
lection etc, and, of course,
the figures showed that Ger
man operatives received the
lowest wages, England next
and the United States the
highest. The tables publish
ed gave the wages received
per week. All would haye
