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. Revised
Statues in the ease of officers retired on
nedoiin! of incapacity resulting from
outcome of a challenge thrown down T>y
long ar.d faithful service.
