HOSPITAL CHANGES NEEDED
Surgeon General TryOn on Wash
ington Naval Institution.
Additional Accommod odatiOns Should Be
Provided. Especially for the Pur-
pose of Isolation, He Reports.

Surgeon General Tryon Of the navy, in
his annual report says that the care and
| comfort ortne sick anu ~uunIer OF Inc nav y
has been much improved by the adoption OF
iron, swinging Cots for the sick bays of all
vessels, and the establishment of an am
bulance service at several places.
Surg. zen. 1ryUn niaAvs ...-s reference to
| the Washington Hospital in his report:
The necessity for increased accommoda-
tons for the sick at this establishment is
apparent.
THE records of the hospital for the five
years 1891 to 1895. inclusive, show SO
admissions of officers, with a total of
1856 sick days; other admissions, sailors
and marines, number 52S. Patients are
supplied to this hospital chiefly by the
navy yard and marine headquarters. but
from time to time they are transferred
| here from other hospitals. from coast sur
yey vessels, and from other vessels, for
eign or belonging to our own navy, which
may be in port; also old sailors and ma
ripes on the retired list who have no
suitable home and when taken ill find a
refuge here.
.'1ne ulI.cers attached TO the navy yard
and marine = dQuarters number about
fifty, while the number Of sailors and ma
rines is about 240. Besides the above, there
are in and about Washington 25O or more
bsiptal accommodations and treatment
The situation of the hospital is excellent,
occupying an entire square of land on four
streets, having thus abundant sunlight and
fresh air. The elevation above the Navy
Yard is inconsiderable. but sufficient to
make very great change perceptible in the
condition of maiarial patients transferred
The mere change from the one place to the
other has sometimes sufficed to put q stop
to an attack of nalarial fever.
There is but one separate room in which
sick officer can be isolated Additional
accommodations should be provided, SO
that the whole OF the two principal floors
could be allotted to patients, the low er or
main floor and the second floor to the
enlisted men. The medical officers on duty
should be lodged in an annex, " hich could
be easily built within the present grounds
and in connection " ith the hospital proper
and an appropriation With this object in
view should be submitted at n early date.

GREAT DISTRESS In SPAIN
Premier Can0vas States the Case at
a Cabinet Council.
Agricultural and Manufacturing
Glasses Discouraged because Sacri-
fices sHaveProducedNo y o Results.

London, Oct. 22.-The Daily Standard
prints a dispatch frOm its Madrid Uurre-
sp"ndenJ saying that Queen Regent Chris
tina presided at the meeting Of the council
| Of ministers held today. Senior Canovas Del
Castillo. the prime minister, presented
summary of the events which have oc-
CURED in Spain and the colonies within
the past three months and forecast
ior the near future. The outlook. he said,
showed that great distress existed among
the people in the southern and eastern
parts OF the kingdom, which fact would
render the collection of taxes during the
coming winter slow work.
1nr withdrawal OF @O,UuU men from the
plows and mills, within the past twenty
months, he said, was severely felt, and
Spain would, in consequence, be obliged
to import large amounts of breadstuffs
The prosecution OF the war against the
insurgents IN Cuba and the trouble in the
Philippine Islands had markedly diminished
thecXports of ofmanufacturedan a nd agricultural
products to the West Indies and the Phil
ippine Islands, causing great distress and
discomfort. In the towns and rural dis
tricts there was visible a feeling Of i'm =
patience aud anxiety, all classes OF the
people having been led to hope for quicker
and more decisive results from their
sacrifices.
Everybody, the premier said, recognizes
the fact that the dram cannot long cont nue
at the present pace. Patriotism and ma
tionai pride alone can check the criticisms
of the governments course. The Liberals,
Democrats, Carlsts, and even the Repub-
Leans have a sort Of instructive present
ment that impels them to cohesion with a
view OF averting International complica-
tons and the dreaded Intervention of tho
United States government
The gloumiest feature of the situation,
the prime minister declared, Is the diff
Guilty which the government finds in OBJ
tainng a loan Of 900 ,GOU, 900 pesetas to
defray the expenses of the war in Cuba, and
the Philippine Islands, and to strengthen
the finances of the country.
The Spanish press is almost unanimous
in approving the idea advanced by the
premier of appealing TO native capitalists
and banks for funds to enable the continua-
tion of the wars to q successful issue.

COLONEL MORRISON'S FLOP
IT Has Created a Mild Sensation
Among Politicians.
Democrats Trying to Figure Out How
the Change Cnme-Republicans
Are Pleased.

Col. Morrison's flop to the gold standard
created little sensation today in political
circles.
That une OF the leading candidates before
the Chicago convention sboEiG CONT on,
against its nominee, is very pleasing to the
Republicans, of course. All OF them think
that the act was Il most graceful one, and
will mean u great deal To Mckinley.
The Democrats profess not TO care any
thing about 1t. In fact. they intimate that
they rather expected it. He is a Federal
office holder OF high degree, and it Vas
only to be supposed that he " ould follow
the lead OF the man or destiny, the Presi-
dent
Nevertheless they are worrying consid-
erably about 1t, and are trying to rec
uncl. his action now with his position just
before the Chicago convention. They cant
even 1t up. though.
Then he was ready to accept a nomina-
tion and stand by the platform. While not
u strong free silver ma n. he was willing To
sacrifice his personal convictions for the
good of the party. He was even willing to
60 SO far as to intimate that he would
not oppose n free silver bill if be were
elected President, should Congress pass
such measure. Now, the Democrats ask
how it has all happened.
There is no way of judging OF the effect
of the flop. Democrats laugh at the idea
of its baying any effect, and the RepUbu-
cans sa y it will.

o'clock this morning. lie was fifty six
years old. MIR. Moxley has suffered acutely
for several years and has been confined Ia
his bed for the past two months.
MIR. MoXlcy. who was one of the best
known andmUst popular men IN the cit Y, was
a WashinEtouian clear through. He was
born here, and this city has been the scene
of all Of his numerous successful and novel
business enterprises. most of which have
been connected with the theatrical business.
His first connection with thcaters was
way back inthe fiitics, whenhc was watch
man and general utility man of the long
forgotten Canterbury Theater, on the Ave
nue..
He advanced rapidly, holding responsible
positions in the various local theaters all
the time, but finally determined to branch
out for himself in the costumng business
To this business lie added the handling of
calcium lights. and finally into bill posting,
which has been his principal work for The
past forty years
By clever mana cement he soon obtained
control of all the bill boards in town. thus
establishing a practical MONOPOLY.
At the time of bis death he had nearly
twenty men. who were continually en-
ployed in distributing the various the

CO.RECEIVER is PROBABLE
But lexington Stock and Bond
holders Cant Agree.
Hearing on the Receivership OF the
Road Postponed Today by the Alb
sence of Mr.. Ridout.

Hearing in the lexington and Belt Line
receivership case was postponed this morn
Ing by Judge Cox until Tuesday morning.
Judge Jere Wilson appeared in the court
room on behalf OF the Dondnoiuers OF The
two roads, but the absence OF Attorney
John Ridout delayed action. After wait
ing half an hour Judge Wilson spoke TO
Judge Cox about the hearing. and the lat-
ter suggested it be heard tomorrow. but
upon the request of Judge Wilson 1t vas
postponed until Tuesday.
1t is understood that Receiver Schoepf
intended this morning to apply TO the court
for authority to issLc receivers certificates
for a separate sum of $3.50. This came
to the attention of some of the bondholders,
and already they are protesting.
on the 81 OF this month Mr.. Ridout
filed a petition asking instructions as to
the payment of some of the employees, and
prior To that he asked the court for Re-
ceiver scboepf that the latter be allowed
to incur an Indebtedness of 81 800 In the
case of the lexington with which to pay
for feed, fuel, and operating expenses.
Judge Cox granted the request OF Receiver
Schoepf
lie uundholders say this was done without
due notice OF such intended action and was
irregular. They are, however, aware of
the present proposed order and intend to
be on hand and I ght it ms soon as resented.
The contest between Receiver Schoepf,
the Stockholders and the Londholders nas
developed into n triangular fight; and there
are points in the transaction upon which
none Of them agree. 1t is said neither
stockholders nor bondholders are unani-
nous in the proposed action.
There is every likelihood, how ever, thata
co-recciver will be appointed. Upon this
question both stockholders and bondholders
agree. They both seem to think Receiver
Schoepf needs an assistant in his position,
one 70 look after their interests.
Both sides have Conferred upon this CUES
ton until they have virtually agreed upon
the man in question. This they insist upon
keeping secret.
On the money question the parties dis
agree. The bondhOlders do not want re-
ceivership certificates. That would place
their holdings as OF secondary considera-
tion. the certificates being preferred mort
cages. For this reason the American Sc
curty and Trust Company. as trustee of the
bonds, is Interested in defeating Receiver
schoepf's petition. Receiver Schoepf says
money could lie raised by calling in un-
paid subscriptions OF stock. il not by is
suing rcceivership certificates. but here
where the stockholders disagree.
They do not desire to pay in the amount
OF their unpaid subscription. and hence Will
fight that proposition.
Itissaid that all efforts between the bond
holders and Stockholders to get together
on the dispute have failed, so far as means
to raise the money is concerned

III regard to the attacks on the "regu-

that those attacks come with Il bad grace

gained, sold and delivered one of the
