Coal Carrying Decision.
From The Tribune Bureau. J

washington, oct 2S.-Representative Littehed, of
Maine has written a letter to the Secretary of the
NAVY in which he questions the soundness of the
opiuion rendered by Attorney General Bonaparte
to the effect that the Navy Department might
employ foreign vessels to transport coal for the
Pacific cruise Of the Atlantic battleship fleet Mr.
Iittlefeld makes a legal argument to show that the
Attorney General proceeded on a fundamental mis-
conception OF the character of the statute he
constituting when he held that the government
not bound by the ccastwise shipping act. He says
that the present condition demonstrates that the
enormous sums that have been expended in Great

provdently expended, have provided for no
sufficient cargo carrying marine whose services

better than "a painted ship a painted ocean "
