TO RETIRE HOBSON.
Bill introduced in the Senate For
That Purpose.

Washington. Feb 1S.-The president
has sent to the senate a message rec
Onnmending the retirement of Capt.
Richmond P. Hobson. In accordance
with this recommendation Senator Gal
linger Immediately introduced a bill
providing for Captain Hobson's transfer
to the retired list.
In his message the president referred
to the trouble Captain Hobson had had
with his eyes since 1900, and recited
the history of that trouble 1t appears
that in June, 1900, Hobson was admit
ted to the naval hospital in Yokohama,
Japan. when, according to the records,
he suffered from weakness of the eyes.
1t was stated that the infirmity had
been contracted while he was on duty
repairing ships at Hong Kong. In
January, 1902. he was examined by a
retiring board, which decided that his
incapacity was not such as to Justify
retirement.
The presidents message concludes as
follows: Without suggesting that any
injustice has been done in this finding
and while in effect pronouncing it COR
rect, Mr. Hobson states in letter ad-
February 3. 1902. that the duty required
in the construction corps in connection
with plans and blue prints, and in con-
nection with inspection and supervision

yards. requires just the kind of use OF

TO GET MAIL CONTRACTS.
Rock Island Trying to Secure Bust
ness of the Burlington.

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-Although official
confirmation is lacking, there is some
reason to believe that the management
of the Rock Island is contemplating
making a strong bid for the transpor-
tation of the trans Missouri and trans
continental mail, the bulk of which is
now carried by the Burlington the
plan is said to be to transfer the mail
from the Lake Shore trains at Sixty
third street instead of bringing it into
the city and transferring from one
depot to another. At least two hours
could be saved by so doing. and
Rock Island train could be forty miles
or more on it's journey before the mail
as now handled is ready to start from
the city. 1t is known that the Rock
Island officials would welcome the OPP
portunity to make the trial, and it is
asserted that they are seeking permits
sion to do so. The plan was tried in
a half-hearted sort of way several
years ago, but for some reason a quie-
tuS was placed upon it before definite
results were obtained.
