SWEEPING REFORM IN CZAR'S
NAVAL ADMINISTRATION

St Petersburg, Jan. 25-The first
step in the proposed internal reor-
gani2ation of the Russion navy was
taken today by the issuing of a ukase
which reverses the system of decen-
tralization that has existed for the last
ten years and concentrates the power
and responsibility for the direction of
the fleet in the hands of the minis
ter of marine
Under this new order Admiral Dix
off, who was appointed faw days ago
as commander in chief of the fleet,
becomes virtually the commanding
admiral and is in charge of all ships
He IS relieved of such bureaucratic
fuhceiops as pertain TO the budget. the
preparation of contracts and matters
of accounting and construction: these
will be taken care of by the vice min.
ister of marine, who is to have a
voice in parliament on these matters
but who is responsible also to the
minister.
This new policy is a complete
change from that pursued when
Grand Duke Alexis headed the navy
Then the acting minister was mere
civil functionary and the handling OF
the navy proper was entrusted to the
naval chief of staff
The appointment of Admiral Dikoft
refutes all reports that the post Of
minister of marine has been abolished
and that the marine minister has been
incorporated in the council of imper.
ial defense. The cooperation of the
ministry and the council of imperial

commended by Governor

Morning Journal Bureau, !
Santa Fe, y. NJ, Jan %. !

In the council this morning Mr.. Cam
eron of Eddy county introduced a reso-
luton providing for the appropriation
of $3.50 from dhe territorial treasury
for the payment Of extra employees of
the thirty-seventh assembly The bill
carries a provision which makes it the
only appropriation which can be made
for this purpose during the session. \
1t was referred to the finance com-
mittee by d vote Of 10 to after some
debate. in which Mr. Dalies Of Tor
rance objected to what he termed Mr.
Camerson's attempt TO railroad
through his measure.
Mr. Cameron believes the amount
called for IN his appropriation ample
to care for All necessary extra em-
ployes Of the legislature. He says that
with economy this sum could easily
dcfray all necessary employe expense
1 His views however are not likely q
meet with any very ready response
/ from the house even if the council
should decide upon any such rigid
economy.

minority In the council. has consid-
/ erable freedom Of activity in employe
matters, which the members Of the

not enjoy
It is believed. however, from the

I that there Is decided disposition tc

The high and lofty plane upon
which the opponents OF Governor

campaign of legislative retaliation
and the deep and unselfish al
tention they are giving 10

pie, was brought out most strikngly
by an incident in the house of rep-
resentatives, in which under the guise
of a seemingly harmless and proper
resolution to exclude lobbyists, par
ticularly unpleasant slap was directed
at Attorney General w, G.. Reid, who
was on the floor of the house. The
attorney general had been i'm the room

session when under the head of reso-
lutions of the house, IT. h. Holt, OF

tin today published a story to the eff
feet that when Interstate Commerce

conditions very similar to those in the
state of Washington. With respect to
the tipping system resorted to by
shippers and warehouse men in order
TO get THEN cars the practice has been
followed at the Oakland yards for
some time, and merchants have found
that in order to get their cars to the
warehouses. they have to tip the
switchmen in the yards.
At the office of Genera! Manager
Calvin, of the Southern Pacific, il was
admitted that this is being done. but
it was stated that the fault lay with
the merchants themselves, and that
the practice does not have the ap-
proval of the company.
