PAY DIRECTOR RINGS CONDUCT.
Secretary Bonaparte Gives Expression
to His Dissatisfaction.

The record of proceedings of the court of
inquiry of which Rear Admiral George c.
Remey, retired, was president, convened at
the navy yard Boston on the 9TH of Sep
TENDER last upon the request of Pay Direc-
tor James A. Ring. United States navy, to
inquire into the administration by him of
the Office of general storekeeper at said
yard, has received more than usually care
full attention of the Navy Department Sec
rotary Bonaparte announced his action on
the case in a memorandum, as follows:
THE court finds that Pay Director Ring
has been negligent and careless In the per-
Torrance of his duty in a number of in
stances: that his administra of his office
has been lax and inefficient beyond excuse,
and that he has shown a disregard of the
provisions of the navy regulations TO such
an extent as to constitute grave derelfc-
ton of duty. The court however, after
mature elaboration upon the whole subject,
recommends that no further proceedings in
the premises be taken.
THE facts brought out by the court are,
in the departments judgment. sufficient to
fully support the findings. and they are ac-
cordingly approved, but the recommended
ton against further proceedings cannot be
approved. In fact. it has been a subject
of very serious concern to the department
whether the interests of the service do not
demand trial of Pay Director Ring by
court-marti for his evident failures of
however. of the courts distinct recommen-
dation against such action, and of the fact
that no corrupt motive the part of Pay
Director Ring Is shown for his omission to
comply with the regulations. the depart
ment concludes, upon review of the whole
matter. that the interests of the service
would be best served in this particular case
by the refusal of his request that he be re-
stored to duty as general storekeeper and
by an expression of the departments disSat-
faction with his official action.
The court further finds that personal
correspondence on official matters has been
held between certain officers, but it does not
appear from the evidence that there ax-
listed any improper motives on the part of
these officers
Such conduct is regarded as, in the lam
guage of the court, 'subversive of disci-
pine and liable to serious abuse. The court
recommends that the department express
its marked disapproyal of this method OF
treating official business This recommen-
dation will be carried out and letters of
admonition Will be addressed to the officers
concerned. it being regarded as of great i'm
portance that the restrictions of the navy
regulations to what matters should be
avoided in personal correspondence be OBJ
served most carefully

publican campaign club of Kensington and
vicinity to be held in the town hall Tues

lows: Daniel w. Baker, United States dis
trict attorney for the District of Columbia
and Mr.. Osgood H. Dowell of Washington
The candidates for the legisla ture and
county offices are expected 10 be present
The meeting will in all probability be one
of the most important of the campaign in
this section.
A similar meeting is being arranged to
be held here the week prior to election, at
which time it is expected to have prom
fnent republican candidates as the speakers
Besides this open method of attracting sup
port to the party much individual work is
being done by the committees and mem
bers and it is stated that assurance has
been given that many democratic voters
will join with the republicans this fall to
defeat the Poe amendment.
Juvenile Kensington has outgroYn its
new school and it has been found neces-
sary to secure a new teacher, and to fit
up a room on the second floor of the
manual training building. Through the
prompt action of the local board of school
trustees a fifth teacher, Miss M. Ella Rob-
ertson, has been appointed and is now
holding class in the improved school room.

WORLDS OUTPUT OF GOLD.
An Increase of s25, 200, 900 Expected
This Year.

George E. Roberts, the director of the mint,
has prepared a statement of the worlds
production of gold and silver for the calen-
dar year 1904.
This statement shows total gold valued at
s347 100 700, aggregate of 1863 493, 53S fine
ounces of silver, and commercial value OF
silver totaling $97.726,3Oo. the coinage value
of which is SPIT $50, 20n
These figures show an increase of about
so, 100000 in gold over the bureaus esti-
mate for the calendar year 1903. The United
States shows a gain of about 81, 900, 900 and
South Africa of S1S,00o,OO0. The director
says that both of these countries are still
upon rising scale of production. Aus
tralia, on the other hand is an important
producer which shows a tendency to reduce
its contribution, although the falling off is
not large and may be temporary. Consider
ing developments in well-known fields it
seems a reasonable forecast to expect the
worlds output in 1906 to exceed that of
1904 by S25.eO0oO0. with another gain prob
able in 1906.

says the C.ieftaln. A part of these
bonds were at one time held by the
late Judge Hamilton. but he sold his
share OF them to Mr.. Catron. Demand
was recently made for the payment Of
the accrued interest. Under the In.
structions Of the city council, how.
ever, the treasury refused to make
the payment. This action of the coun
ell Is probably based on the theory
| that the bonds are Illegal. At any
rate. that theory Is entertained by
good legal talent. The city treasurer
has employed Attorney James G
Fitch to look after the city's interests
