Salary Recommendations.
"An increase In the salary Of one Of the
81, 400 clerks to 81 600 was submitted in my
last estimates and approved by the Com
missioners. Though stricken out by the
House Of Representatives and reinserted by
the Senate the increase was lost In confer
ence. 1t is earnestly hoped that this ad-
vance will be procured at the next session
OF Congress. the same being for the clerk
detailed as acting chief clerk and acting
water registrar in my absence. and whose
duties and responsibilities warrant the aug
mentation sought. It Is also recommended
that the salary of the two 81 900 clerks be
increased to 200 each per annum, and
that two additional clerks at 81 1,0O0 each
per annum be submitted"

The first meeting of the board appointed
by the Navy Department to witness the
wireless telegraph tests and to decide upon
the system to be installed in the United

forenoon. Several tests were made between
this city and Annapolis, the result of which
was not given out 1t Is understood that
impressions were made on the instruments
at each place, and that the initial test be-
fore the board was such as to give assur-
ance that practical results will be obtained.
