The Dead Line" of Pay Increase.

To the Editor Of The Star:
] have observed the report that Rep
resentative SABBATH of Illinois has in
troduced in Congress bill providing
for increases in the salaries of gov
ernment employees up to (and inciuding)
the eighteen -hundred-dollar grade. Why
the dead line at S1,S00? The next grade
is that of chief and assistant chief of
division tthe latter being usually act
ing chief in the absence of the di-
vision chlef). These position are anon
alles in that. upon a salary difference
of merely 5000. the occupants are re-
sponsible for the work of an entire di-
vision, including. it may be, score
of employees fsometimes half hun
dred). Some chiefs of division in the
government service receive more than
$1,000 per annum, but the majority do
not. ! have vivid recollection of the
remark of a chief clerk of some thirty
years experience in the government
service that, taking into account the
service rendered. the chief of division
In the executive departments of the
government is by far the poorest paid
Of all of Uncle Sans servants. There
is pressing-nay, imperative-need for
higher compensation for the govern
ment employe, because he is miserably
underpaid. but upon what theory con-
sonant with justice is the chief or as
sistant chief of division, now receiving
$4,000, or perhaps little more, to be
barred? In any general legislative
measure regarding revision of salaries

This. applied to all positions. would
avoid unfair discrimination and leave
no just ground for complaint While
the Nolan bill is usually referred to
as a measure to meet the dire needs
of a large class of government en-
ployes, it might more properly be
termed a measure designed to give a
fair wage where a fair wage is now
withheld. GEORGE A. WARREN.

The Burial of Booths Body.
TO the Editor Of The Star:

10 me ftlloT OF he Sldr:
Replying to the letter of inquiry con-
tained in your issue of December
last relative to the burial place of
J. Wilkes Booth, I can give the fol-
lowing PARTICULARS:
Early one morning rowboat brought
his body in a sack to the Washington
arsenal. 1t was boxed and buried
within the walls of the old peni-
/ tentiary. Later. on the demolition Of
this building, his remains, with those
; of the conspira tors who were hung and
buried within its walls. were removed
to one of the arsenal storehouses and
placed under its stone tagging. which
was SO marked as to make the loca-
tion of each one certain. The remains
of Capt. Writ. the Confederate jailer
were later brought to this same place.
During the winter of 1s6S-69 Edwin
/ Booth applied to President johnson for
his brothers remains. to be buried, it
was understood, in the family lot in
Baltimore. In giving permission for
the removal instructions We're given
the commanding officer of the arsenal.
Gen. George d. Ramsay. TO see that
the remains were positively identified,
it having been repeatedly reported that
Booth Lad been seen in various places
! in Europe. Being at that time on duty
at the arsenal, l was directed by Gen.
were complied with. The box was
opened and Identification was complete
to the satisfaction of all present.
Several newspaper correspondents
were observers and ! remember read
ing the next morning a fun description
of the proceedings in New York pa
per-the TirnesN believe. IF the files
of that paper have been kept SO far
back / have no doubt the article viii
be found | may add that / superin-
tended later the removal of the re
mains of Mrs. Surratt and Capt. Writ
the others were taken away still later
| by friends or sympathzers.

ASSERTS SWEDEN MADE
LIMITATIONS ON TRADE
British Embassy Explains the Circu-
lar Letter of October to
Neutrals.

Recognition of an arrangement be-
after prolonged and difficult negotia-
ton, for the regulation of imports into
Russia through Sweden, without any
design to imposes any fresh restric
tions upon American or other neutral
traffic with the latter country, was the
sole purpose of the issue by the British
government of the circular agreeing
to accept letters of assurance as the
basis for such trade through the
blockade lines.
As explained at the British embassy.
the circular, which was dated last Oc-
tobeT. Was intended for the informa-
tion of trade interests and did not add
in any respect to the list of articles
which might be passed through the
blockade lines, as the list had already
existed for a long time and had been
published officially in England. More
over the limitations upon the impor-
tations as Whole were imposed ac-
tually by the Swedish government and
not by Great Britain.
That statement is explained by the
fact that the Swedish government has
limited to Il certain kind and amount
the goods that might be permitted to
pass in transit through Sweden to Rus
sia, making its allowances upon the
amount and kind of goods which the
allies permitted the Swedes themselves
to obtain through the blockade lines
for their own consumption.
The limitation imposed by the Swedes
upon the character of goods that might
be imported. being in some cases rather
general in terms, the Russian govern
ment itself was allowed to name the
commodities which it wished to be
granted this preferential right of
transit through Sweden into Russia.
1t was that list which the trade de-
part1ncnt of the British embassy
adopted an accommodation to the
Russian and Swedish governments and
promulgated in it's circular as the basis
of letters Of assurance.
