GOVERNMENT REAPS BENEFIT OF QUARREL Hon it IJiiforern Obleot lonnliU Order uml It ItiMPinic front .Mull ( on tnti'tx Drop OfT .Miui" lljiI-.. 'JIhiunxih.U. , When tho mall clerks sot cvon with the J.tlt.sourI Pacific Hallway company their Undo Sam got next to a way to suvo ?1,00, 000, and he Is prcpurlug to do It. At present radical changes In tho service cannot bo attempted because of the holiday rush, but tho tip has none out that after tho first of tho year tho heavy letter Rack bow In uso on tho railway mall cars and elsewhere aro to bo replaced with lighter ones. And thereby hangs the talc of the trick that was turned on the Mlssuurl Pa clflo and of th'i government's consequent Having. " Tho Missouri 1'nclflc was hauling mall fol tho government nt the prevailing rnto of $10 a year for overy 100 ponmU of mall carried ono mile. Tho more tho road car ried Hnd tho farther It carried It tho greater tho prollt, and every pound shaved olf tho weight total took money out of tho road's pocket by leaving It In Undo Sam's. It was knowledgo of this latter fact that en abled tho clerks to play nven with tho road for what thoy considered an unnecessarily atrlngenl rule. Wlml llto ;IitI(h tllMllkril. This rulo was embodied In tho road's ortlor that a mall clerk's pass was good only whllo h was on duty In his car; that no conductor could honor such a puss ex cept when tho agent was nt work. Ileforo the order was Issued clerks traveled much es they pleased In going to and from their homfH nnd occasionally to other points along tho line, but when that rulo becumo cffcctlvo It tied them down. Thoy snld nothing In remonstrance, but they talked tho thing over In a spirit of unity, nnd they found a means to an end. At that tlmo It was customary for tho pos tal clorks to carry tho surplus empty pouches In tholr cars to tho end of tholr runs ami then buck again. Thcro wcro dozens of them, thoso of canvas weighing thrco pounds and of bull hldo cloven pounds. Aftor tho pass order went Into effect tho clorks, lnstend of carrying tho pouchee through, put them off nt tho first station nnd sent them back. Tho malls nro weighed every four years by tho government nnd payment mailo for tho following four years on tho basis of thoBo wolghtB. When tho tlmo camo to weigh tho innlls ngaln tho postal depart ment wns surprised nt tho slump In weights on tho Missouri I'nclllc. Tho new system adopted by tho mall clerks mndo a differ ence of thousands of dollars ovory year. Tho government Is no fool. It saw a good thing nnd decided to push It nlong. There was theroforo Issued n sweeping order np plying tho samo method to overy car on every road In tho United States. Another Order mill Another CIiiiiikc Semo tlmo later tho Missouri raclflc ls- nue.d nnothor ordor prohibiting mall clerks from sleeping In tho cars. Tho clorks oh nerved that tho lenthor sacks weighed sev oral pounds morn than tho canvas onco and overy tlmo a leather ono showed up It was transferred ns early as posslblo to a car on nomo other road. Tho department learned of .thin also and thoro soon fol lowed nn order for tho general adoption of tho lighter pouch. It Is this plan thut In now about to ho carried out In full, nnd which adds still moro to tho prollt that Undo Sam hns mado on tho retaliation pro ceodtngs of tho offended mall clerks.

Spo.tklng of tho report that Congressman Mercer hud Introduced In tho bouso of rep resentatlvrs a bill to approprlato $2.", 000 for tho South Ilond fish hatchery, Ocorgo V. Carter of North Platte, deputy gamo war den, snld: I cannot understand what Mercer Is driving at. Tho hatchery at South Bend belongs to tho stato and it will bo lmpos slblo to pass such an appropriation bill un less tho government Is to take tho manngo- ment of tho Institution. As to tho prnb ability of tho stato disponing of tho hatch cry I know nothing. It probably could bo secured by tho government If an Inclination woro shown to moko It a larger and moro productive entorprlso. "Tho hatchery nt South Ilcnd Is ono of tho best email hatcheries In tho west. From tho springs comes water which Is of the right temporaturo for tho growth of trout and when tho trout pool is filled tho water runs' Into other pools whero llsh requiring warmer water are bred.

There has been a general suspension of literary and like organiza tions until aftor the holidays, whllo tho ac tivity of tho church gulhU and societies, mission boards and charltnble organizations has doubled In the Interest of their work, for which the bazar, oyster supper, mis sionary tea and Christmas sain seem to af ford the most prolltnblo means of Income.

Tho secretary of tho navy has before him for review the report of tho court of Inquiry In tho Schley case. He Is naturally taking time to do this carefully, to that immediate action Is not expected. Meanwhile the court Is tech nically In seswlon nnd will remain so until dissolved by order of Secretary Ixjng, who convened It. Tho practice In such cases Is laid down speclllcully In naval regulation No. 17.19, respecting court of Inquiry. The question has been rulsed slnco the appearance of two reports In print, how far Admiral Dewey, tho president of the court, subscribed to tho opinion expressed In tho first report and in tho findings by appending his signature, that signature being required of him apparently by the regulation abovo alluded to, regardless of his Individual opinion. In response to In quiry on this point tho Judgo advocato gcn crnl of the navy says: "According to naval practice, Admiral Dewey, by alllxlng his signature to tho re port of tho court of Inquiry In tho case of Rear Admiral Schley, expresses full con .urrenco In all tho llndtngs of fact and In all tho opinions reached by tho court ex cept thoso with respect to which he has In terms Hlgulllcd dissent In his minority opinion. M-nntorn Approve DcTvejr'd Opinion. Opinion in tho sennto is divided as to tho probability of n congressional Investiga tion of the Schley controversy, but Is upon tho whole ngalnst tho probability of such a course. A majority of tho republican senators nppcar to bo nvorso to tho re opening of the question, and thoso of this view Ineludo friends of Admiral Schley. ) Senator Hoar expressed himself os con tent to abide by the opinion of Admiral Dowey becauso of his superior facilities for reaching a correct conclusion, nnd Senator Mason took n similar position, nddlng thut tho opinion of tho admiral of tho navy would bo accepted aa tho ver dict of tho country, rcgurdloss of what con clusion other members of tho court might havo renched. Senator Halo thought thero would bo, nnd should bo, no further Investigation. Ho Is chairman of tho committee on naval affairs nnd said ho would uso whatever Influcnco ho might possess- ngalnst further Inquiry ns detrimental to tho best Interests of the navy. Senator Cullom declared that further Inquiry would bo tomfoolery nnd that no moro light on tho subject could be secured than hnd been. Democratic senators gen erally scorned to be disposed to wait on the expression of opinion by tho friends of Ad miral Schley. Suuator Martin said that whllo he did not fool called upor. to present a declaration he thought that congress should adopt a Joint resolution stating Its conlldcnco In tho ad mlrnl. Senator Dacon said ho would bo glad to voto for a resolution declaring Ad miral Dowoy's position to be tho correct position. Senator Money assented to the proposition thnt congress should net If ac tion was desired by tho friends of Admiral Schley. Senator Rawlins thought a resolution of confidence would be In order and Senator Jones of Arkansas thought It most probable that a resolution bearing upon the question was umong tho probabilities. Iropoe l.'oiiKrekMlonnl InvrntlKntlou Representntlvo Pcarro of Maryland, who represents tho Maryland district from which Admiral 'Schley came, stated today that ho would introduce a resolution for a con gressional Investigation of tho entire Snmpron-Schley affair, unlcHS his colleague from Maryland, Mr. Schlrlm, who hnd con tomplntcd Introducing such a resolution, carried out this nctton. Mr. Peorro says he has not formulated tho details of the proposed congressional Inquiry, but he thinks It would bo desirable to have It conducted by special commlttoo rather than by ono of tho regular committees of tho house. Chairman Foss of tho houso naval com- mltteo declined to expross nn opinion as to whether congress would deal with tho Schley ense. Ho says he has been careful to avoid taking sides on tho case, ns It might como boforo tho committee. Among Mr. Fosa's associates It Is tho general un dcrstandlng that the chairman Is not favor able to congressional nctlon. Chairman Pnyno when asked If n con gressional Investigation would be held said: "Why should congress go Into the ques tion? Admiral Schley has had his day In court and I doubt whether It would be advisable for congress to go over the ground nlready covered. Representative Meyer of Louisiana, an authority on naval affairs, (aid: I do not think there should bo a con gressional Investigation, The verdict of tho American people tlnds best expression In tho llndlngs of Admiral Dewey. Representative Sherman of Now York said: I think tho country will ncespt Admiral Dewey's reports us conclusive. Dewey's conclusions will live In history long after the other members ot the court nro for gotten.
