General Manager Schoepf, of the Wash

was in conference with Commissioner
Powell this morning concerning the future
work Of construction on that line.
The company applied in January, 1894,
for permit to make certain grades and ex-
cavations, but through some oversight the
formal permission was not given. The work
was therefore being prosecuted without
warrant. and it became necessary to procure
the requisite authority.
The Commissioners to-day issued an order
granting the company q permit to grade
Rhode Island avenue from the District line

NAVAL ACADEMY's NEEDS.
Existing Conditions VIII Result in a
Reduced Corps.

Existing Conditions VIII Result in a
Reduced Corps.
The present system of appointing naval
cadets at Annapolis must receive the
prompt consideration of Congress. and the
repeated recommendations of boards of
visitors no longer ignored unless the acad-
emy be reduced to q representation about
one-fourth of that allowed by law.
The recent examinations showed upward
of so per cent of failures, and Of the 197
young men who reported not over forty
five were admitted. This great number
OF reflections is not so much due to the sever
ity of the examinations as to the poo prepa
ration of the boys, manyof whom had re-
ceived appointments only few weeks, and
In some instances few days, before they
were required to answer questions which
none but those who have been well
coached can expect to meet successfully.
Instead of having a quota Of 359 cadets,
including two classes which have gradu-
ated and are now at sea on cruises, the
academys corps will be greatly reduced
this term, and the full battalion will not
consist of possibly more than $50. The
Sefnl-dnQudl eXdLDudtiOH Ii JdnudTy Will
still further diminish it, so that the country
Will lose the opportunity OF educating
at least 100 men at very little additional
expense.
The West Point policy OF designating
boys one year in advance Of the time they
are ordered to report for examination has
been found to wors to great advantage, and
the number of vacancies existing when the
term begins has now been reduced to a
minimum. s,o--s-s.t - o-Fs ,..s
Except for places created by failures
and unexpected designations all vacancies
at the academy can he anticipated a year,
ss they are at West Point, and 1t has been
urged for this reason that the laws should be
so amended as to permit members to desig-
nate candidates several months in advance
of the examinations. Such action would
not only be just to the boys, but would result
in maintaining the corps to the full quota
allowed by law. The number of failures
would also be decreased and the qualifica-
tions of candidates greatly increased.
