Hobson and His Men.
The questi m of Lici'inant Hobson's;
tr.-m r. r to the line of t> e navy and the
promotion which lie will receive mu t
await the action of congress. While tho
i;. ut, ni.nt carefully refrained, from talking
on the subject with even his clo-'W fri'-nds
p, )-,. |t Is the general undt ratamiiiu; that
he prefer.- transfer t ■> th. line rath, r than
tention in the construction corps. His re
cent promotbin to tho rank of chief con
■ truc'.or carri- - <iim t > the lii'..b'"t rank
lie 'eat! get In that corps; ami while Im
( .-r ally enjoys tlm service tn which Im L
. la ou. d US :■ m- mber of that mm t impor
tant corps’, he naturally prefers a place
in tlm due which will make it possible for
riim to attain the highest rank in I lie
n ivy.
From the navy standpoint, there seem to
he difficulties in tlm way of transfer to
tlm line. It has been seriously urged that
his transfer grade should be to a grade
which decs not carry with ft the salary of i
his present position, an! to that the lieu- I
tenant would natura.lly object.. However, ,
1: 1 <j).l that th"-'- 4iseri-pan<'i-m will
be adju: led wm-n congress gets hold
| the Jin vol problem this winter, and it is
I certain th,at Hobson will get substantial re
w . rd
It is interesting to recall. In this con
«' ol.ion, that em-h of the seven men who
went with Tim on that journey, and who,
with him. e.iri--I :!m plaudits of tlm entire
world, h.-i-' ,ii;.:-l'- received subsinntial
reward in th. way of promotion. Jnd -ed,
it was <-xp' .I'm.) to me at the navy depart
ment th'.- morning that the reward dealt
out to these rn- ii is,proportionately great
er than that which Hobson is likely to re- !
celve, or that others of the promoted 011 - '
cers have be. n given.
; It is not e:isj to make comparison, for I
there is no advancement by numbers out- I
side of tlm officers' list. Hut in a general '
w iy it is estimated that the advancement
I which these .seven men have received is
greater )■■•-. itively than they would have
revived if tlu-y had been officers. Each
man is raised as hi:--.:i as it was possible in
tlm branch of the snip's work in which Im !
served. Al! ware made warrant officers. j
i Tin- list with the promotion given each
I m in is as follows:
Lrmiel M.mt.igne, who was chief master
at arn highest rating an enlisted
man can hold, was made boatswain.
G-..-or; ' Charlotte, gunner, was made gun
ner's mate of tlm llrst class.
Geori'" 1’ Philips, machinist of the first
class, was mad'? chief machinist,
Fraimi.s Kelly, water tender, was made j
chief machinist.
J. E. Murph-y, coxswain, was made chief I
boa I .-wain's mate.
(ishorne Dlgnan, coxswain, was made ,
chi'’ b..a tsv ,in ~ mate.
It.': iololi P!:,u: a. coxswain, was made j
chief boatswain's mate.
These are the man who, like Hobson, :
took their Ilves in their own hands In the
end- ivor to serve their country. TlieTi
act was <>no of great bravery, and it is
right ill-' such br.aV'-ry should receive
ample rawird. Their names, like Hobson's,
will r-main forever on the country’s hon
or roll.
