Hohson, and In avordanc* with this recomiuenda tion Senator (inHinger immediately in troduce. I a bill providing for Mr. lloh fcon's transfer to tho ri'tir> d list. In his message1 the President jfvea as his reason the trouble that Mc, Hohson h.%s had time 11)00 with his eyes, and re cited thy history of that trouble, it ap pears that i'i June, l!?G0, he was ad mitted ty the Naval Hospital at Yoko-, ham a, Japan, when, according to the' records, 'he uuifeied from tho weakness of the eyes and retinitis, which infirm! tle.s, it was said, hail been contracted while on duty in repairing whips at IIonR Kong. In January. 1!>02, he. was examined by a retiring board, which decided that his incapacity was not such as to justify retirement. Tho President's message concudes as fol lows: "Without suggestion that any injus tice has hrnn done by this finding, and while in effect pronouncing it correct, Mr. Hohson states, in a letter addressed lo the Secretary of the Navy, February 5, 1902, that 'tho duty required in tho construction corps in connection with inspection and supervision in the glare at shipyards and navy yards, re quires just the kind of use of the eyes that arc painful and injurious and would tend to thwart their recovery;' that tho condition of his e.ves hua im proved since iiis return to the I'nitcd States, while on social duly not in the usual line of work uf the oon.-t ruction ? corps; but thht under vthos;\ favorable cottditlons their irritation and sensiti veness continue and he should not. un dertake wcik that taxes the eyes in the future. He accordingly asks special legislation authorizing his retirement for dsabilltles incurred in the line of duly. This request Is approve*.! by tho chief constructor, and by the Secretary of the Navy. "In consideration of the .foregoing, but especially of the gallant service rendered by Mr. Hohson in the sinking of the Merrimac in the harbor of San tiago during Hie. recent war with Spain, I recommend tho enactment of a suit able measure for his relief. The bill introduced by Senator Gal linger, authorizes the President "to transfer to the retired list of the navy for disabilities incurred in Uie line of duty Naval Constructor Richmond P. Hohrion of the navy at the. rate of pay provided by section 15S8 of the.
