The Dog lSurked,

THE idea Of barking dog disturbing a
policeman" remarked Prosecuting Attor-
ney Pugh in the Police Court yesterday
afternoon. I'm surprised"
Policeman R. E. Doyle was the officer
who claimed that his rest had been dis
turbed by William Bakers canine, and
was on the witness stand, and the de-
PENDANT stood there, ready to make his
statement
Where do you do most Of your sleep
ing?" the officer was asked.
Il would like to do 1t at home when 1
have a day off, was the officers answer,
but this dog makes SO much noise that 1
can't Sleep
when is your day OFF,"
Il call 1t my day off when the dog is not
there to annoy me-
The defendant denied that his dog made
the amount of noise described by the Off
Ger. and said that when he barked he al
ways had a good cause for it.
when the garbage man comes through
the alley and blows his horn" said Bax-
ter, the dog usually barks."
"Indeed!' remarked Mr.. Pugh. Even
the dog is delighted at the appearance of
the garbage man. Well, don't blame the
dog, for the garbage man doesn't come
very often.'
Mr.. Pugh added that there is dog back
of his house and he has an idea of bring
ing it's owner to account.
Baxter promised to take his dog out Of
the city this week, and the court took his
personal bonds.

MORE MONEY NEEDED.
Superinte adent Miles On the Wants of
the Telegraph System.

the Telegraph System.
Henry r. Miles, superintendent Of the
telegraph and telephone service, in
lengthy communication to the Commission
ers yesterday, calls attention to certain
amendments which he thinks ought to be
made to House bill 1888, entitled AN act
making appropriations to provide for the
expeI ses of the government of the District
of Columbia for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1885,
In his letter he recommends the sum of
$4,000 for general expenses. The bill at
present provides only 81, 900, he says. The
which he recommends ought to be
appropriated for reasons he set forth in
his last annual report. The fire alarm
telegraph is the safety valve, he says, of
all the combustible material in the District
of Columbia, and should afford the most
ample protection to both property AID
human life, but if not kept in good order
it ceases to be reliable, and it cannot be
kept in good order on an insufficient appro-
priation. The police patrol system, he
says, is second only in Importance TO the
fire alarm telegraph. Both need extensive
and expensive repairs.

1.-THE expense which this will entail is

period QS6l-6O, to number about ninety

ITO neutralize this in a measure, under
the pretext Of giving the staff positive
rank and equaliZins their pay with the
line, virtual reduction Of staff pay is
pl cvided While 147 vacancies for line Of
ficers are created by the thirty additional

engineer corps six years and of the pay

Views of the Opposition.

The views Of the opposition. including
the staff corps and many Of the older line
officers, are embodied in the subjoined
statement anent the pending measure:
THE hope that Congress had at last de-
yised a scheme for the betterment Of the
navy that would be generally acceptable
proves not to be well founded. Now that
both naval committees have reported 1t,
it is being denounced by all the staff corps
and by 80 per cent Of the line of and above
the grade of lieutenant commander. 1t is
asserted that it benefits only the younger
men Of the line that it sacrifices all but
10 per cent of the older men of established
reputation and experience and reduces the
nay and creates the same stagnation in the
staff (Who constitute one-half Of the navy

1.-The naval force Of the United States now
consists of fifty vessels, including four
torpedo boats; Of thirteen monitors Per-
manently laid up; and of fourteen vessels

For the fifty effective vessels, there are
now in the navy forty-fve captains, Of
whom only thirteen are at sea; efshty-five
commanders, Of whom only fourteen, and
of seyenty-four lieutenant commanders, of

A Simple Solution.

"A very simple solution Of the question is
for Congress to put the line and staff of
the navy on the. same footing precisely in
matter of rank, precedence, pay and emol-
uments, grade TO- grade, as in the army,
where the bitter contention which divides
the navy into two hostile halves does rot
exist. The staff officer of the navy has the
same ambition and esprit de corps as his
army confrere and his line colleague, and
the efficiency Of the service will not be i'm
proved by degrading and Illuminating him
any more than it will be by unjust dis
elimination against the older and expert
enced officers of the line alone"
