FINE ABOUT QUEEN VICTORIA RULER OF THE NAVY. WhlrL Tar«« »tori«* 1 hat Ar« lnl«r«*Maa C m - o«rnlu* Euftlaud'a Mov«reiga “There la on« man in the Unit States who has more power than th« president and all the federal •curt combined,” said a naval officer recent ly- “Tba secretary of the navy i* th. man. hi » power over officers « f i navy is autocratic. He can wit Io • the aid of a court fii « an oftic. r a’! ' way from four hu • !r«*d to four th» tl sand a year, accordi r" to his rank, n* simply V it the \ ii of the secret ry. Unlike officer f the army, ofij cer* in the navy ar«- not pni<! a unib rm and fixed compensation. In the army the salary of an officer is fixed by law, and no one, not even the president, can deduct a cent from that pay with out a court-martial. In the navy ther« are three regular grade* of pay. In the case of a rear admiral, which is the highest rank in th«* navy, the pay at sea is six thousand dollars. On shore duty this is reduced to five thou sand dollars, while if the «»tficer is on leave of absence or ‘waiting orders’ this is reduced to four thousand dollar* “Now supp«»se a rear admiral is or dered to the command of the fleet in th«* North Atlantic. Th«* secretary of the navy propooes to visit the fleet. He is received on board the flagship with all the h«»n«»rs due his station, and the a«i miral doe* his lx*st in the wuy of enter tainment. Suppos«- again, when th«- secretary sits down to (line at the ad miral’s table he finds that a cheap brand of American wine is served in stead of his accustomed Chateau Yquem. The secretary determines to resent this indignity, lie goes ashore and decides to relieve an admiral wh«» knows nothing of the first principles of hospitality. He issues an order de taching th«* admiral and placing him on waiting orders. Then on the fol lowing «lay be determines to punish him still further. He calls in the chief of the bureau of navigation and directs that Admiral Bowline lx- given an iu- definite furlough. Tlia’. means that instead of drawing six thousand dol lars a year as he wa* yesterday, the late admiral of the North Atlantic finds hi* income suddenly reduced to two thousand dollars, and all because he ha* offended the ruler of the navy in some slight matter. ' “Cannot the admiral ap(x*al? Cer tainly not. There is none to whom In* can cry out. The president has no power to review the decision* of th** secretary of th«* navy in matters of this kind. This is an extreme case, of course, but it would not be difficult to point out where lieutenants have had their pay cut from tw«» thousand six hundred dollars to nine hundred dol lars by a secretary who had a grudge."
