Tho secretary of tho navy works in a
beautiful room, from whoso windows
ono may look out upon tho Whlto Uouso
consorvntory nnd tho window at which
tho president's wlfo sits with her book
or embroidery. Secretary Whitney hns
hnd moro work to do hero than any
secretary hIiico tlio closo of tho war, nnd
his ouccessor will find Ida task anything
but ensy. Undo Sam Is now engaged In
building a navy, and with his usual im
petuosity ho It doing it with a rush. Mrs.
Whitney onco told mo her husband,
of whom she is Justly very proud, hnd
worked harder as secretary or tho navy
than ho over did before. "Ho took hold
of tho department," said hIio, "na ho
Used to tako hold of dilllcult law cases,
aud studied night nnd dny till ho hnd
mustered it. Mr. Whitney likes hnrd
work. When ho wns In tho city nttor
noy's ofllco lu Now York thov used to
leave nil tho dilllcult enses to him. nnd
ho rather liked It." Secretary Whltnoy
knows how to hnudlu men ns well ns
ships. Indeed, tho duties of his olllco
largely consist of hnndllng men, thero
being naval bureaus, in charge of naval
olllcers, to tako euro of tho ships and
their belongings. At 10 o'clock every
morning tho secretary takes up position
In his outer olllco. All his callers nro
admitted to the room, where ho can bco
inein ami tnoyenn boo him. Ho stands
by a high desk, and receives Ids
visitors ono nfter another. Tho calltfr
may Hit, but tho secretary stands.
Under such conditions tho nvcrago
visitor states his business in tho
fewest posslblo words mid gets away
as soon as ho can. It Is a common say
ing in Washington that Mr. Whitney
can dlsposo of a greater number or
callers In nn hour than any other official,
and this is tho manner in which ho docs
it a good hint for his successor. After
two hours nt tho outer desk tho i,ecro
tnry retires to his olllco proper, whero
ho works stendlly till S or In tho even
ing. Ho hns been ono of tho most suc
cessful of nil or tho present cabinet min
isters, and Ida administration lias tho
credit or giving tho American nnvy Its
Btnrt on tho road to greatness.
Thero is nothing sumptuous in tho
ofllccs or tho postmaster general and sec
retary of tho Interior, except tho marblo
bathroom in connection with tho latter.

room, which has rather old fashioned
furniture. In this room and about tho

Mr. Vilas estimates tliut ho lost ten
years oi nis uio uurmg uie urst bix
months of tho year 1885, when ho sat nt
his desk nnd fought oIT tho mob, besides
nmking fifteen or twenty thousand ono
rules, who havo not yet forgiven him.
In number of persons employed, nnd in
direct contact with tho ieopfc, tho post

not bo a lawyer, but a secretary of tho
Interior should havo had law training.
This great department controls tho patent
ofllco, tho pension ofllco, public lands
and mines, tho Indians, education, rail
roads, public surveys, tho federal cen
sus, etc. Secretary Vilas' room is as
plain as Dickinson's, but his desk la kept
