THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.
Wants Naval Station at Guantana-
mo-Honors For Peary.


In the last annual report of the sec
rotary of the navy and in my annual
message attention was called to the
new detail of officers in the navy de-
partment by which officers OF flag rank
were assigned to duty as alds to the
secretary in respect to naval opera
tins, personnel, inspection and mate
rial. This change was a substantial
compliance with "the recommendation
of the commission on naval reorgan-
iZation, headed by Mr.. Justice Moody,
and submitted to President Roosevelt
on Feb. &c, 1900
Through the advice OF this commit
tee OF line officers the secretary is able
to bring about n proper coordination
of all the branches of the naval de-
partment with greater military et6-
cheney. The secretary of the navy rec
ommends that this new organization
be recognized by Legislation and thus
made permanent 1 concur in the rec
ommendation.
The secretary, in view OF the conclu-
sions of n recent court of inquiry on
certain phases OF marine corps admin
lstration, recommends that the major
general commandant of the marine
corps be appointed for four year
term and that officers of the adiutant
and inspectors department be detailed
from the line.
He also asks for Legislation to i'm
prove the conditions now existing in
the personnel of officers of the navy,
particularly with regard to the age
and experience OF nag officers and cap
tains, and points out that 1t is essen
tia to the highest efficiency of the
navy that the age OF our officers be re-
duced and that flag officers particular
Iy should gain proper experience as
dag officers in order to enable them to
properly command fleets. concur in
the secretnry's recommendations.
Covering Of Naval Supply Fund into
Treasury.
commend to your attention the re
port of the secretary on the change
in the system of cost accounting in
navy yards and also to the history OF
the naval supply fund and the pres
ent conditions existing in regard to
TINT matter. Under previous practice
and what now seems to have been mn
erroneous construction of the law the
supply fund OF the navy was increased
from $2,7OO.oO0 to something over S14.-
100000, and system of accounting
was introduced which prevented the

Postal Savings Banks Question of
Deficit-Franking Abuses.

At Its last session congress made pro-
vision for the establishment of savings
banks by the postoIlce department of
this government, by which, under the
general control OF trustees consisting
of the postmaster general, the score
tary of the treasury and the attorney
general, the system could be begun In
few cities and towns and enlarged to
cover within its operations as many
cities and towns and as large a part of
the country as seemed wise.

Conservation and Reclamation.
The secretary of the interior recon-
mends n change of the law IN respect
to the procedure In adjudlcutinS claims
for lands by which appeals can be
taken from the decisions OF the depart
ment to the court of appeals OF the
District of Columbia for n judicial con
sIderatiOn of the rights Of the clnim'
ant. This change finds complete anal
ogy In the present provision for ap.
peals from the decisions OF the com
missioner OF patents. The judgments
OF the court In such cases would be of
decisive value to land claimants gen
orally and to the department of the In
terror in the administration of the law,
would enable claimants to bring into
court the finnl consideration OF issues
MS to the title to- government land and
would, think, obvlate good deal Of
the subsequent litigation that now
arises in our western courts.
The bill Is pending. believe, in the
house. having been fHvorably reported
from the committee on public lands,
aud / recommend Its enactment.
One of the difficulties IN the interior
department and IN the land office has
been the delays attendant upon the
consideration by the land Office and the
secretary OF the Interior OF claims fOk
pnteuts OF public lands to individuals,
am glad to say that under the recent

The unrestricted manner in which
the ranking privilege is now being
used by the several federal services
and by congress has laid it open TO Sc
rious abuses, n fact clearly established
through investigations recently insti-
tuted by the department. While 1t
has been impossible without better
control of franking to determine the
exact expense to the government Of
this practice, there can be no doubt
that it annually reaches into the mil
lions.
1t is believed that many abuses OF
the ranking system could be prevent
ed and consequently a marked econo-
my effected by supplying through the
agencies of the postal service special
official envelopes and stamps for the
free mail OF the government. NIL such
envelopes and stamps to be issued on
rcQulsition to the various branches OF
the federal service requiring them and
such records to be kept OF all ofiicinl
stamp supplies as will enable the post
office department to maintain n prop
or postage account covering the entire
volume of free government mail.
AS the first step In the direction of
this reform special stamps and stamp
ed envelopes have been provided for
use instead OF franks In the free trans
mission OF the official mail resulting
from the business OF the new postal
savings system. By properly record
ing the issuance of such stamps and
envelopes accurate records can be Kept
of the cost to the government of ham
ding the postal savings mail. which is
certain to become an important item
OF expense and one that should be sep
arately determined.
In keeping with this plan It is hoped
that congress will authorize the sub
stitutiOn OF special official stamps and
stamped envelopes for the various
forms OF Trunks now used TO carry
