propriated the money to his own use, and
declared that he lost 1t through q hole in
the pocket of his trousers. Detective How
lett. however, continued his investigation.

TIME TO BE COUNTED
SATURDAY HALF HOLIDAYS TO
BE INcLU1Egp IN LEAVES.
Opinion Of ri the Controller of the
Treasury AaesA WITH rh.. of til.
DepartmSt Of Justice.

The controller Of the treasury has rem
dered an opinion THAT concurs with the
Department of Justice that the Saturday
afternoon half holiday Of government en-
ployes is to be included in the thirty days
annual leave. The opinion of the control
Ter Is addressed to the Secretary of the
Treasury and is as follows:
I'm your communication of June Fl. 1904
you request my decision Of a question which
you present therein as follows: 1T Is antici-
pated that this office will shortly be called
upon to present for the consideration of
the department, with appropriate recon-
mendations, a number of applications for
regular leave of absence commencing with
the list proximo In this connection the
question has arisen whether the three and
a half hours on which employees of the de-
partment are excused on Saturdays durin,
the months of July. August and September
under regulation recently PROMULGATED
are to be considered as a charge against
their leave account IN computing the num-
Der Of days absent, or whether the DAYS in
question are to be considered as falling
within a status similar to that OF Sundays
and legal holidays.
InaSmuch as it Is Understood that the
regulation of the department relating to
these three and half hours is based upon
an executive order, and as the statutes
particularly refer in connection with Sun
including days when the department is
closed by executive order it is respectfully
submitted that consideration of the prins
ciple involved would seem to justify the al
lowance of the three and half hours re-
ferred to, and it's inclusion as a legal holi-
day for the purpose of computing leaves of
absence" -
In an opinion rendered to you by Acting
Attorney General Purdy, dated June "A,
1904, upon Substantially the same question,
he says: 1 have yeHr-Iette of June ~, 1904,
wherein you inquire whether In computing
the length of the thirty days annual leave
of absence granted to an employe in your
department located at Washington, you
should exclude Saturday afternoons during
July. August and September when such
leave falls within those months.
" The duration 'of the annual leave of alb
sence to which an employee in your depart
ment located at Washington is entitled
should be reckoned without excluding Sat-
urday afternoons within the months of Ju-
ly. August and September
Il concur in this conclusion, and I have
the honor therefore to advise you that alb
sence on Saturday afternoons by employees
who are absent with leave in July August
and September should be counted the same
as absence on other week days not hol-
days is counted"

June %, his patrol boat discovered
the battleship Peresviet and seven
other vessels accompanied by nine
torpedo boat destroyers near the en-
trance OF Port Arthur. They warned
him wirelesSly and he Immediately
advanced his fleet except those en-
gagged upon special duty. The Adj
1niral then discovered that the Rus
sian fleet which consisted of six bat
tleships. five cruisers and fourteen
destroyers, evidently planned a dash
southwark by shutdown.
The Russians stopped outside the
entrance To the. harbor, and after
nightfall q feet of Japanese torpedo
boat deStroyers reSolutely attacked
the Russian ships and succeeded in
torpedoing and sinking q battleship
of the PeresViet type and disabled
the battleship Sevastopol. A cruiser
of the Diana type was observed be-
ing uowed into the harbor on Friday
morning and it was evident she had
sustained serious damage.
The Japanese ships sustained little
damage. The torpedo boat destroyer
Sharakumo was hit by shell which
fell in the cabin and had three men
killed and three others wounded. The
ChidoIi, a vessel of the same class, was
hit behind the engine room, but no
casualties resulted therefrom. Torpe-
