S. X., retired, to be a Rear Admiral on the retired list, the rank now held by all surviving ofticerQ of his class at the naval academy. During the Spamsh war Captain Bart lett acted as chief of the office of naval intelligence and was also superint?n dent of the coast" signal service. Cap tain . Bartlett was present at both bo.n bardments of Fort Fisher during the civil war. Major Waller became separated from liis brother officers Captain Porter and Lieut. 11. H.

Kluftz Leads Against Contract System Efficiency of the Rural De livery Will Be Promoted by Placing It Under Civil Service BYTHOniSJ.PEJiri! Washington, March 6. Special. Congressman ,Kluttz led the opposition today in the debate against the bill to classify the rural free delivery service, which would place the carrier service under the contract system.. It was one of the most effective speeches, yet deliv ered against the measure, which Is certain to meet overwelming defeat. Gongressmam Kluttz is a regular whirl wind in debate and his speech today attracted, much attention. Vfmhops crowded around him while he spoke! Mr. Kluttz said, in part: 'VRural free delivery service has come to stay. By its fruits it hflji rtemfkTi- strated, not only its usefuluees but its indispensability. No improvement f the public (Service ever attempted by the government has been so immediate, so rapidly and so unusually acceptable and successful. ' "The service has done tardy justice to our great rural population; delivered the mails daily at the verv homes of the farmers;- irait them in daily touch with the outer world; given them daily papers, market reports, weather sig nals, registered letters, postal rdeirs, stamps, and p-ackages by mail. It has made life on 'the farm more tolerable and more pleasant, amd it has lighten ed the life of many a farmer's boy; ie iiieved his solitude, saved him from the maelstrom. of .the city, and in doing, so hav lightened the (hiding years of mamy" a fond and anxious father and mother. It Is the first real effort ever made .-to put the farmer .n- something like an equal footinjr with bis neighbors, in the crties- and towns," so far as the postal service i concerned. "And the correctness of the policy of delivering .nrail hy the government to the citizen at his home being admitted, why should not the dweller in rural commuinities be put upon an. equality as near as may be, -with tJie dwellers in towns and cities? Is there any di vinity which doth hetige about city and town people whirli does not also extend to the people -who live in the country- and on the farms? Is there any rewwi why the government should deliver mails from two to five times daily at city homes, which, does tiot equally de mand that such delivery should be made at least once daily, where practicable, at the home of the man, who, resisting the temptation's of the town and city, prefers to remain on- his own "broad acres, away from the temptation, the snares, the smells, the counnemeait. of the city.' I trow not, and I -want every member of this Congress who votes in favor of this bill to answer this quev tion to hi rural constituents when he goesi home for re-electioin. Is there any reason why the city carrier who works but eight ihouw a day has all holidays with annual leave, and who walks on asphlt pavements should receive eight hundred to one thousand dollars year, while the rural carrier, who must make his way of from twen ty to thirty miles a day. through the ice and snow and over the bad roads of the interior, required' to funruish bond for Mmse-lf W R substitute, 'as well as I i..i.:i Vi Avca anal vmrpronY'p srmnm hf ,1 J IVi r miA Asi TJ tCJ trtoi i4,Tl-'I w - I cum.allowed him under the present reg Clatious? Let the gentlemen who vote for this bill answer 'to their rural con stituents. "Gentlemen may find; etmie excuse for this seemingly iuexcus,able incon sistency. I hope they may be able to do so. "I do not understand any gentleman to contend that this service' will be made more efficient by letting it to the lowest bidder. Even the gentleman from California (Mr. Loud) in his des perate search for reasons for is up port of his bill, nrnkes no such allegation. He bases his somewhat incoherent and inexplicable demand' for so radical ar change, if I rightly apprehend him. al most solely-upon the alleged ground of economy. "If I. understand the temper of ifiis nouse, the gentleman will fail to im presss lit with his owin pessimistic fears. The question for this "--House ought to be. not whether this service can be pared down in cost, but rather how can it be made more efficient? I grant that if fit is to be crippled, relegated to a secondary place to even the discred ited star route system, let to the lowest bidders, and simply at the least cot without, regard to either acceptability or efficiency, there may be merit in the gentleman's hill: but if it is to main tain the enviable reputation whk4i it realv madie. if it is to fulfill its present promise, if it is to give tne j vmi-iI nonnlation th very best and j tered' to .it.-- Indeed. I do not believo . niidr the orooosed contract sys , ... '. teui. an equally etncieut serv?-e ouiu be given for less than the present cost. 'The gentleman from California : ad mils that the child was born in the room of the Committee on Post Offices and I'ost Roads, without any demand from anybody, anywhere. Al! the time he has leen chairman of the committee in charge of this service he has report ed and voted for appropriation after ap propriation for its extension, has been j the Fight so fortunate as to secure, as I am in formed, some twenty-odd routes In his own district; and all at once he na awakened to the alarming fact that the system is all wrong, that its adminis tration has been an extravagant failure, and that its only salvation is to cut Its tail off close behind the cars and re duce it nearly to a level with the star route system. ''In spito of all the abuse that has been heaped upon the administration of this service I dare maintain "that it has been marked by an intelligence un equalled in department annals. I dare maintain that it has been a success be yond comparison with any hitfierto at tempted improvement 'in government ser vice. . "But coming now to the question of cost, the question ot economy. I con tend as I did a Avhile ago that the question of economy should no mox9 enter Into this service than into- tbo city delivery service; and I wast to be frank. I have read the report and es timates of 'the Postmaster General. His estimate is that b ythe first of July this year. 8.600 of these routes will be in operation, serving, as he estimates, one-fourth of the rural population. This, muitipled by four gives the total number of routes after a while in the country ; 34.400, which at $000 would t $2S, (540,000. This seems fin enornieua sum.' but it is only about the cost of three battleships, only about one-third of the amount of the River and Harbor bif expected to pass this House annually it is ten millions less fhaa is paid th railroads for mail transportation. ,An1 yet, because it goes to the farmer; be cause it is intended to relieve the te dium and solitude of country Mfe; be cause it is for the benefit of the man who digs and delves in the soil, th question of economy Is Taised here when other appropriations for hundreds of millions of dollars go without question. Illinois (Mr. Boutell), somewhat, jocu House voting either yea or nay. "I am a believer in nil proper economy upon all proper occasions and for atl proper purposes, but I am opposed to a cheeee-parfng economy which I believe will prevent the development and evolu tion of rhe greatest benefits of thi: service for the rural population of Oui country. ' "Gentlemen talk about politics. I was glad to hear the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Boutwell). somewhat jocu larly it is true, admit that this bill was- intended to perpetuate the Republican control over this service; and I believ that while it was said jocularly, then fs more truth than je.t in it. -I want gentlemen on this side of the House, especially those who say that this bill takes the system absolutely out of poli tics, to consider. "Why, .gentlemen complain 'that ther has been politics in the administration of thi department' heretofore, and tha there has been partiality shown as b tween different sections. That may b trtte, and .the reason is not far to seek. Gentlemen on this side of the House (know that they have been promised time and again that inspectors ehould. l lIR'ir "'i r anu routes es- 1 tablished. and that these promises have U., i. i- .1. .... , een DroKen, anu tiiey nave been bro ken because of the greed, because of the influence and the power of influen tial members of this Houeand chairmen of great committees, from whom a sin gle request is more powerful with any subordinate official of this government than the most importunate demands of humble members of this House. like my self and other gentlemen on this side. How does it happen that the chairman rcmumiee or tun House has over a hundred of hsA in his district? How does it iT-aniln that QllArhal lis Umnn twenty of them? How does it happen that another member of a great com mittee has over a hundred of them? The reason is not far to seek. Take it out of politics; put j- under the civiJ service."
