Corbett went up stairs to dress, and
Mrs. Corbett espied the transfer ticket
and picked it up. Surely her husband
must have dropped it, What would
he be doing with a transfer ticket if
lie had walked home, as he had said
That was lame excuse he gave for
being detained. Was he deceiving her?
Looking at the back of the transfer
ticket, she saw some figures in pencil.
At dinner Corbett ate sparingly. His
wife noticed it. She was sure he had
taken his dinner with some one before
coming home and that he had dined
with q rival

"Yes."

TO BE A REAR ADMIRAL.
Nomination Of Capt. Clark Confirmed
by the Senate.

The Senate had an executive session soor,
after meeting today and Senator Hale re-
ported favorably the nomination of Capt.
Charles E. Clark to be advanced seven
numbers in rank and to be a rear admiral
in the navy, from the 10th day of June,
1902, to take rank next after Rear Admiral
Henry Glass and to be an additional num-
Der in the grade of rear admiral.
Senator Hale asked to have the nomina-
tion confirmed. but Senator Warren OBJ
Jected. and the nomination went over. Sub
sequertiy Senator Warren withdrew his 3D.
lection, moved an executive session and
Capt. Clark was confirmed.
Senator Warren had no objection to the
confirmation of Capt. Clark, but he desired
to secure an agreement as to action on the
nomination of Capt. Crozier to be chief OF
ordnance. Last night the Senate agreed
to take up the Crozier nomination on Fri
day, but no agreement was made to take a
vote Senator Warren had given motto
that no more executive nominations would
be considered with his consent until after
some arrangement was made to dispose II
the Crozier nomination and he did not wish
TO give way in one case and refuse III
others. At his suggestion an agreement
was reached to vote on the Crozier nomina-
ton before adjournment on Friday.
Rear Admiral Charles e. Clark, who. has
just been elevated to the grade of Junior
rear admiral, has indicated to his friends
that he is considering the advisability OF
applying for voluntary retirement under
the terms of the personnel act. Capt.
Clark, being now a junior rear admiral.
would In that case be retired as a senior
rear admiral, the practical effect of which
would be to make his retired pay 81 ,625 per
annum, or 81 800 more than he would re-
ceive did he retire as a junior rear admiral.
1t Is evident that number of the senior
naval officers will seek to take advantage
of that section of the personnel act before
its repeal, and without intending to dis
parage their abilities in any way it is be
lieved that the depart nent is not averse to
such action, as the result would be to fur
ther the object of the personnel act In
breaking up stagnation and bringing into
command rank in the navy Il number ot
young, vigorous and ambitious officers who
will be peculiarly fitted to carry out the
scientific and elaborate schemes of the gen
eral board.

TO SETTLE STRIKES.
Representative McDermott's Bill for
Arbitration Commissioners.

Representative McDermott of New Jer-
sey has introduced bill to authorize the
creation of boards of investigation and ar
bltration for the purpose of adjusting labor
disputes The bill is prompted by the con-
! tinuance Of the coal strike.
| The President of the United States is
empowered by the provisions of the bill.
when informed by petition or otherwise of
the existence of a strike. to appoint q
board of investigation and arbitration. to
be composed of seven members, one of
whom shall be selected by the employer
and one by the employees
The commission is empowered TO obtain
comprehensive account of the matters in
dispute between the parties concerned; an
account in detail of the wages offered to
me striking employees and cost of living: q
detalled statement of the condition finan-
cially of the individual, firm or corpora
tion, together with the true valuation of
the tangible property and the value of the
franchises. If any, owned.
1t is provided that the opinion of each
member of the board upon the justice of
the demands of each party to the dispute
Shall be made to the President.
Each board shall terminate upon the filing
OF Its report upon the matter referred to
1t, and its report shall be filed within twen-
ty days from the completion Of the taking
OF the testimony. Upon the submission of
any matter in dispute as authorized by the
blll the board shall consider the testimony
offered by the parties and shall give judg-
ment upon all matters submitted Pro
vision is made for the summoning of wit
nesses by process of law, and they shall be
allowed the usual fees
. In talking about the purpose of the bill
Mr.. McDermott said:
Z Under the federal Constitution the ma
tional government has no power to go into
a state to arbitrate any matter that is
purely local, but l have an idea the Com
StitutiOn is broad enough in the delepa tio,,
of authority to the national government to
permit of the investigation and to provide
a court of arbitration in any matter that
affects the interstate commerce. The coun-
power, and if the supply is stopped com
merce is interfered with. Therefore. / be-
l-eve the federal government has a right TO
take up the matter and arbitrate it"

ed on the third or top floor, in which GOO

and the finished product, and all may be
ruined. The fermented beer i'm the seventy
six fifty-barrel watts is lost and the refrig-
Grating plant has been SO impaired that the
finished beer may spoil for lack OF refriger-
alton. The storage annex of 2u.ooo barrels
capacity, just completed was gutied. The
entire building was flooded with water and
the machinery is badly damaged. The
water pressure was very low. The fremen

REMOVAL OF THE HYGEIA.
Time Has Been Extended Until Oc
tober 81.

Secretary Root has extended the time for
the removal of the Hygeia Hotel on the
military reservation at Fort Monroe Va,
to October 81, 1902, with the understand
ing that the work of removal shall then
be completed This action was taken on
the application of Mr.. George A. Keller
manager of the Old Point Comfort I'm
provement Company, backed up by a re-
port from Quartermaster General Luding-
ton to the effect that the extension of
time requested will not interfere with the
execution of the plans Of the quartermas-
ter's department in providing additional
room for officers quarters and rearrangtng
the roads
1t is stated at the War Department that
the extension of time allowed applies only
to tile Hygeia Hotel, and that all the other
private buildings on that portion of the
reservation desired for military uses must
be removed in a reasonable time in ac-
cordanccs with the original notices The
exception was made in the case of the
Hygeia Hotel because the Chamberlin
Hotel on another part OF the reservation
cannot be made ready for occupancy be-
fore the 1st of November. so that without
the use of the Hygeia the resort would
have to be closed during the present sum-
mer.
