to man all the available vessels.
 There are In the service today about 47,75O enlisted men of all ratings.
 Careful computation shows that in April. 1912. 49.1G6 men will be requIr- ed for vessels in commission. and 5000 apprentice sen men should be kept under training at all times.
 The secretary of the navy has rec commended the abolition of certain of the smaller and unnecessary navy yards and in order to furnish com plete and comprehensive report has referred the question of all navy yards to the joint board of the army and navy. This board will shortly make it's report. and the secretary of the navy advises me that his recOmmenda . tons on the subject will be presented early in the coming year. -
 For the consideration of matters which are pending or have been dis. posed of in the agricultural department and in the department of commerce and fhbor ! refer to the very excellent reports of the secretaries of those de- partments.

It would take away the pow CT to use the patronage of the gov ernment for political purposes. When officers are recommended by senators and congressman from political mo- lives and for political services render. ed it is Impossible to expect that while. in office the appOintees will not regard their tenure as more or Iess dependent upon continued political service for their patrons and no regulations. how ever stiff or rigid. will prevent this because such regulations. in view of the method and motive for selection are plainly inconsistent and deemed hardly worthy of respect.

Trinity Gets
 S42,O00 Legacy
FINAL ACCOUNTING OF BO4Rrs MAN ESTATE OF ss7sysss, Ae- TER FIVE YEARS Is
 PROBATE.

New Haven. Dec. 21.-Aftsy a@f
 years of litigation, the final account ing on the estate of the late Goev Hs Boardman was filed yesterday sfteF- noon in the probate court by B8ft0n Mansfield and William T, Fields, wns acted a5 executors, This essass
 amounted to sS7s,Sss,55, aecoF6Bnz to the original appraisal, and has been in the probate court since 1s0se Tae
 will of Mrs. Bosrdnan provided for 2 number of large segacies, aIt Of w9tes-
 have been paid, and left the resi604 after all other liabilities had besp satisfied to the sum Of sSf,s09ysS s1 be equally divided between Trinity College and the Domestic and Fore3zs
 Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal church. There were seg~
 eral other legscies which anaognssf e a larger sum than these.
 The settlement of this eststs has cost the sum of S57,o20.eS, Of whten
 Burton Mansfield received tz5,soS
 lawyer, and William T. Fields stss
 other executor, got s12,s06. James E.. Wheeler got little over ts.5SS for his services as lawyer.
 An examination Of the aesoGnf
 shows the interesting fact that from
 the time the original appraisa1 vas
 made of Mrs. Boardmsn's personal property, consisting Of bonds and stocks, 1t depreciatsd in value froa1 $132,SSS.e4 to ys4,59o.s4, a net ds- crease of $47,795. This was czass1 by the dropping off in price of the various stocks in which Mrs Boar1~ man had invested. This reduced tf1s legacies to the residuary Iegstess ty
 something like s20.000 apiece.
 The estate has caused more Dti- gation than an case that has g0ns | through the probate court in several years. Many contests were rnadsy some of which had to be fought out l in court, while others were settled out of court.

 the appointment of four aids to the secretary have continued to demon strate their usefulness.
 It Is certain that the navy with it's present size should have admirsils in active command higher than rear ad- mira's. Our great battleship fleet is command by a rear admiral. with four other rear admirais under his or ders. This Is not as 1t should be. and when questions of precedence arise be tween our naval officers and those of European navies the American rear admirai. though in command of ten times the force of a foreign vice ad- miral. must yield precedence to the latter. Such an absurdity ought not to prevail. and it can be avoided by the creation of two or three positions of flag rank above that of rear admiral.

 The Philippine Islands.
 In respect to the Philippines, urgently join in the recommendation of the secretary of war that the act of Feb. 6, 1905. limiting the indebted ness that may he incurred by the Philippine government for the con- struction of public works. be increased from $5.O00,O0O to S15.OOO.OOO.

 With the establishment of an army am thoroughly in accord and am con, svinced that the establishment of suci. 8 corps will result in a material econ, omy and very great increase of effl ciency in the army.

 In making the consultations no re- duction should be made in the total number of officers of the army. of whom there are now too few to per form the duties imposed by law. have in the past recommended an in crpase in the -umber of officers by 6O0 il order to provide sufficient officers to perform all classes of staff duty and to reduce the number of line officers detached from their commands. Con- gress at the last session increased the total number of officers by POO. but this is not enough. Promotion in the line of the army is too slow. Officers do not attain command rank at an age early enough properly to exercise it.
