Washlnztoo, Feb. 4? II la givea out
by the navy department, ia corrobora
tion of the a'orlea of attempt! to bare
been made on the ahlpa of the big fleet
now on tbe grand voyuge, to blow them
up at Rio Janeiro, that a atlek of dyn
amite was found In the coal that waa
taken on by the battleship Ohio, whll*
loading at the port of Spain.
The danger arising from this source
has always been recognized, and tbe
almost impossibility of examining ibe
coal passed Into tbe furnaces In quan
tities of a balf ton at a lime during tbe
course of tbe voyage, forms a continu
ing; danger and menace In tbe eyes of
tbe department. Tbe act of placing
tbe dynamite In tbe coal Is attributed
to mere individual dynamiters ratber
than any attempt by national enemies.
BETTER Pi! FOB SOOERS
(By United Press.)
Washington, Feb 4 ? What is known
as the SoldierVMechanlu'sAlaaka bill
h*s been introduced. The bill, if
passed, will put the soldiers of Alaska
on the same footing with regard to
extra duty pay as the soldier* of the
But' s, advancing their pay relatively
for all duty coming under the h??d of
extra duty.
In explanation of the provisions of
this bi'l Lieutenant Orchard when
shown the foregoing bad this to say:'
"It Is a measure for which the officers
of the army who have ever spent sny
time in Alaska have been fighting for,
for a long time. It should be under
stood that soldiers in the states when
given work to do out of the direct line of
military duty, such ai laamster's work
and the like, are paid an advance
over tboir soldier's pay. It is a sliding
scale tor different kinds of work, and
is called extra duty pay. But soldiers
on foreign dnty ? duty In foreign lands ?
are paid twenty per cent above the pay
of the aoldlea at home, and the special
duty pay Is denied them because of tbia
advance,
1 Officers of the army wbo have
watched tha men on duty here working
alongside civilians getting 9100 per
month for exactly the same kind of
work have felt the injustice. Of
course, it it to be understood that the
civilian so employed does not get the
care and provision that the soldier does.
Nevertheleas, the requiremants of the
service in this northern wilderness are
felt to bo out of proportion to the par
of the men, in comparison with civil- .
iana, when these requirement! call for
th skill of the mechanlo or the severe
labors of the trail, beyond the regular
duty of the soldier. Therefore, they
have made a tight for this special pro
vision In behalf of the Alaskan soldier,
that he lie paid the extra duty advance
where he be cat led upon for such serv
ice, notwithstanding hii twenty per
cent pay under the foreign duty provi
sion?for Alaska is In the foreign duty
class, I hope the bill will pass. It has
been Introduced at the Instance of the
department, no doubt, In recognition of
the suggestions made in reports from
this country "
