In some places the force of the torrent

The reservoir was situated close to the
village of Bouzey and was connected with
the canal De l. Est. The breach caused
by the rush Of water Is over 100 meters

Gen. Schofteld is considering the ques-
ton of the assignments of the newly ap-
pointed brigadier generals to commands.
There is likely to be very little shifting of
commands. Gen. Merritt. the new major
general, will remain in command Of the
department OF Dakota, with headquarters
at st. Paul He was offered the command
of the department of Colorado jtfst va
Gated by Maj. Gen. McCcok. but declined it
In favor OF his present command The
other general officers were sounded on the
same point. and all, with the exception of
Gen. Brooke, have replied that they do not
desire change. Gen. Brooke has not been
heard from one way or the other and the
matter is held open. that account. Gen
Brooke commands the department of the
Platte, with headquarters at Omaha.
In case he desires 1t he VIII be transferred
to Denver to command the department of
Colorado. In that event Gen. z. r. Bliss
one of the new appointees, will succeetp hin
at Omaha. 'Eut if Gen, Brooke desires to
remain where he is, Gen. Bliss win be as
signed to Gen. McCookss late command at
Denver. This arrangement provides for all
the department commands and leaves Gen.
Copp:nger out of the calculati ton. What
his assignment viii be is matter Of great
curiosity in military circles. 1t is expected
that the entire matter OF assignments will

ILLEGAL INCOME TAXES
The Government May Be Required to Repay
Millions
The Dissenting Opinion of Justice
White Contains. 'so.e Start
ling PrOpoa4 tisns.

Since the decision of the Supreme Court
in the income tax cases there have been
frequent references on the part Of attor-
neys to the liability of the government for
sums paid on incomes from rents and in
vested personal property under former in
come tax laws. 1t will be remembered that
Attorney General Olney. ip his brief on the
subject Of a rehearing, suggested that Con-
gress could not wen ESCAPE making provi-
sion for the refunding of these amounts if
the decision was to stand. Associate
Justice Whites dissenting opinion. the text
of which was made public today, also
touched upon this point.
Under the income tax laws which pre-
vailed in the past for many years." he
said, land which covered every conceiv-
able source of income, rentals from real
estate and everything else, vast sums were
collected from the people Of the United
States. The decision here rendered an
nounces that those sums were wrongfully
taken, and thereby. it seems to me. creates
a claim in equity and good conscience
against the government for an enormous
amount of money.
THUS, from the change of view by this
court, it happens that an act of Congress,
passed for the purpose of raising revenue
in strict conformity with the practice of
the government from the earliest time and
In accordance with the oft-repeated deci-
sions of this court, furnishes the occasion
for creating claim against the govern
ment for hundreds of millions OF dollars;
say creating a claim, because If the gov
ernment be in good conscience bound to
refund that which has been taken from
the citizen In violation of the Constitution,
although the technical right may have
disappeared by lapse of time, or because
the decisions of this court have misled the
citizen to his grievous injury, the equity
endures, and will present itself to the con-
science of the government. This conse-
quence shows how necessary it is that the
court should not overthrow its past deci-

N A V AL r AT ION S
Department Officials Do Not Relish Some
Recent Criticisms.
Amerfcu's Jolly Jack Tnrs Are Claim
ed to De Particularly
Well Fed.

The officials of the Navy Department are
ne:t,ed by the frequent severe criticisms
upon the sufficiency of the naval ration
which emanate from the Pacific coast
ports. They have no hesitation in ascrib-
ing them to the bumboat men and the
keepers of shops patronized by sailors, who
have been deprived of handsome pick
ings" from the sailors by the enforcement
Of the order limiting the number of rations
in mess that may be commuted or turn
ed into cash by the sailors and spent
ashore.
The naval ration is fixed by act of Con-
gress, and is not within the power of any
man. even of the Secretary of the Navy, to
change 1t, either by increase or dimiuution
The naval officers assert that 1t is the most
literal of any furnished to the sailors of
the naval powers, and that vast ma
jcrity Of the people of America are not as
well supplied with good wholesome food as
are our sailors.
The Marfners' Menu.
The ration. as fixed by law, includes the
following staples. ALL 1t is said, in sufii cient
quantity for any person: Bread. flour. pork
beef, preserved meat, beans, peas. ;ice,
dried fruits. butter. tomatoes, coffee. tea,
cocoa. sugar. pickles. molasses, vinegar.
fresh meat and vegetables. When within
reach of a market. the law is so construed
as to permit a wide range of choice of
foods under these general heads. For in
stance, the sailor may have fresh soft
bread or biscuit Under the head Of flour
he may have cornmeal, hominy, oatmeal,
rye and cracked wheat.
If he tires of beef and pork he may try
mutton. veal and poultry, or he can turn to
canned corned beef and mutton, ham,
bacon. sausage and fish. Any kind of fresh
vegetables that the market affords may go
on the mess table. and for dessert he can
fall back on dried apples. peaches, raisins,
currants prunes, figs and dates.
The Admiral Gets the Same Ration.
But the sailor who still has an ungrati-
fed appetite may Indulge it, for in every
mess of twenty-four persons six rations
may be commuted each day, yielding so.
which may be applied to the purchase of
luxuries. No distinction in persons is made
in the issue of the naval ration, and the
admiral commanding the fleet receives the
same ration-no more nor lesS-that the
youngest apprentice aboard ship receives
and can receive only the same commuta-
ton, namely, 80 cents for each ration.
The food supplied the ship from the mar
kets is most carefully inspected when
brought aboard ship, and to insure good
quality and good cookery the captain tastes
sample of each meal cooked for the men.
No one can withhold the full ration from a
sailor, and he has simply to "go to the
mast" to have a complaint entertained, and
If he persists board of three officers must
be appointed to inquire into it and see that
the law is complied with.
