NAVAL ACADEMY.
Increased Appropriation Asked bY Con
gressman Miles.

&ASSAtANn AAAAess
Representative Miles has been given a
hearing by the naval committee OF the
House regarding the proposition to make
a literal appropriation for the Naval
Academy. Mr.. Miles made an argument
showing that the present condition Of
the academy is disgrace TO the nation
and the State of Maryland. He asked
that the committee recommend the ap-
preparation of sufficient money to begin
the work on the plans which the Navy
Department has made, and which the
board of visitors has approved, for the
improvement and extension of the Ma
val Academy grounds aud buildings.
At this point in Mr.. Miles address.
Mr.. Boutelle, the chairman of the naval
affairs committee asked: Has the board
OF visitors considered the propriety of
selecting new site for the academyfn
Mr.. Miles replied that this proposition
had not been thought of. He then went
on TO show that better site could not
be selected. The location is excellent
for all purposes. There is plenty of wa
ter for the practice of ships, while the
climate is of a character which permits
outdoor exercises. 1t is feared, however,
that no extra appropriation for the acad-
envy will be recommended by the COM
mittee at this session. But the Senate
naval committee is very friendly TO the
academy and may amend the House bill
so as to include an appropriation for the
improvements most needed by the Naval
Academy.

FREE SCHOOL BOOKS.
Plan of the Comptroller to Raise the
Money Without Increasing the
Taxes

The States finances have been closely
figured out by tLenew Comptroller, with
a view of finding the ways and means of
supplying free books to the free schools.
The amount for the purpose is fixed in
the pending bill at $3.50, 600 year. The
question is how to get this SUN without
increasing the tax rate.
Comptroller Graham proposes to use
the sinking fund ana pay off the $4,000.
600 defense loan, on which the State
pays 3. Go per cent. interest. He calcu-
lates that the saving of this interest will
enable the treasury TO supply free books
and at the same time not increasing the
taxes. The defense loan debt was origi-
nally created by republican admins
tration, and Mr.. Graham has the ambi
ti0n 10 wipe it out rs among the first
acts of the present republican admins
tration.

A Midnight Fire.

The residents of the neighborhOod of
Conduit, Market, Cathedral and Ship
wright streets were aroused from their
slumbers about one o'clock this morn
ing by the cry of fire, and the ringing
of independent Fire Company's bell,
caused by the burning of the unoccupied
old two story and attic frame dwelling
on the lot adjacent to Spa creek, between
Conduit and Market streets. In avery
short time the whole building was in a
blaze, lighting up the whole neighbor-
hood, which brought people to the scene
from all sections, under the impression
that great conflagration was in progress
at the foot of Market or Conduit street,
which fortunately turned cut to be moth
ing serious. The fire companies soon
responded and III very short time the
flames were under control. lHad the wind
been blowing at the time, there is no
telling what damage might have been
done. as many frame structures are In
the immediate neighb0rhoOd. The prop
ertv is in charge of VIM. +. Williams.
agent, and is insured TO the amont OF
$500.

the effects of the alleged poisoning at
Homestead. The names of these, dates
of their death and the attending physl-
clans were collected for the State atgreat
expense and filed before the board of par
dons at its October meeting, 1895. These
names and affidavits of physicians were
used by Captain K. Y. Breck in his ar
gument on benalf of the State and the
pardon board at the time kept them
from the public.
Among those reported as having died
is Mrs. Louis Wolfes, of Annapolis. Mr..
Wolfes gave a supper in the mill on Sep
tember Sth, 1892, and all were taken sick
with symptoms of poisoning. DR.. ). ID.
Kennedy, of Annapolis, treated them
and cured Mr.. Wolfes, but the wife was
too far gone and she died in January in
Annapolis. Several of those who attend
ed the supper died.

senator Randall on Railroad Exemption.
Editor Ereninq Capital

EWttuF EtcHtHg CWpttWt
DEAR SIR IL see by the CAPITAL of
last evening that am reported to have
introduced a bill to extend the powers of
the 'Washington, Annapolisan Chesa.
peake Railroad Company" and TO ex-
.empt the property of tnat railroad from
taxation for twenty-five years. That bill
was not introduced by me and | am Op-
posed to that provision of it exempting
property from taxation, as is also Sena-
tor Bowie, of Prince Georges county,
who introduced il and through whose
county also the proposed road is 20 run.
The bill which did introduce relates to
the ''Capital City Railroad, torun from
Washington to Annapolis, direct. 1T
asks for no exemption from taxation. l
may say in this connection that ! have
agreed to introduce bill to revive and
extend the charter of the old Drum Point
Railroad Company, but at the same time
positively refused to allow the bill TO
contain a provision authorizing the coun-
ty to subscribe to the stock or bonds OF
that road, as was desired. / do not think
our county is in financial condition to
subscribe to railroads or to exempt their
property from taxation; in fact the day
for that sort of legislation has passed. ]
believe that one or more of these rail-
roads will be built, without any such
provisions, and that our county and city
will be greatly benefited by them.
