The Real Meaning of Secretary Long’s no.
cent General Order. "
. ' Vv‘ashinglcn, April 23.——';."ce1c is con-I
siderabie inc-Ailing in DULichily “bug‘s
general order no. 471, Ll'lycillillg .ne
strictest etuii-;i:.;c,rn rm: 1..-“... 5.. Vice.
This branch of the govei'iiiiienc has for
some years been "rapidly increasing in
costliness, and if the new naval policy
is carried out much further we shall
soon have a. very expensive establish-
ment. It is evident from the way that
Secretary Long is taking hold of the
navy department that retrenchment is
his watchword. Of course, in time of
peace it is impossible to make very
sweeping changes at once, but the lit-
tle things that have bee «done in the
navy department ‘show clearly which
way the Wind is. blowing.
For instance, the offices of appoint-
ment clerk and chief clerk have been
consolidated into one, and Mr. Peters
is attending to the duties of both with
entire ease. The office of weigher of
coal at the Washington navy yard has
been abolished. It was obviously cre-
ated for‘ the sole purpose of giving
somebody $2,000 a. year; in every other
navy yard the officers in charge attend
to the weighing of the coal, and to se-
cure uniformity in practice Secretary
Long decided to abolish the useless of-
fice in the Washington yard rather
than create a. similar useless office in
all the other yards.
Mr. Long is keeping a. sharp lookout
also on the minor expenses all along
the line. The general order already re-
ferred to forbids the use of dynamos
between 11 p. m. and the time all hands
are called in the morning, and during
the daytime only such electric lights
may be used as are absolutely neces-
sary. The ordinary boat duty of ships
must be performed by the pulling boats
instead of by steam launches, as has
become customary. Certain exceptions
to these rules are made, but wherever
the public service will permit every
possible economy in government mate-
rials and supplies will be required.
A great saving is being effected by
the laying off of such vessels as are not
needed for any purpose. The Katahdin
has already been put out of commis—
sion, and the Columbia will soon be laid
off, with an officer and a. few men to
take care of her and prevent rusting
and waste. The same thing will be
done a. little later with the Minneapolis
and the monitor Amphitrite. These
vessels when in active service consume
an enormous amount of coal. and are
attended with great general expense.
Moreover, Secretary Long is much
more conservative in regard to the
building of new ships than his recent
predecessors have been. Reference was
made not long ago to the tremendous
expense of the great battleships. The
march of improvement in mechanical
appliances and enginery of war is such
that in ten years’ time one of our great
$3,000,000 vessels becomes antiquated.
It is probable that the present adminis-
tration will go a. little slow in the mat—
ter of further extending the naval serv-
ice.
Scranton ltIan Appointed.
Buffalo, April 23.—The Italian colony
in this city is rejoicing over informa—
tion just received that the Italian gov-
ernment has appointed John Banchetti

Banchetti is at present a. resident of

ed his government in the same capacity
that he will occupy here.
Bank Indictments. Quashed.

Edgerton, former vice president and

ier George H. Hill and E. W. Beattie,

priations.

sociations,'by the new owners, Mr. and
