NEWS OF THE NAVY.
Professor rrutlhonin,.s Long Wait.
fsiE Grticrs-II q Inchmcnts

Washington, Feb. 12.-There Is some
thing remarkably strange, according to
the IDEAS of those Interested, IN the
action OF the navy department for the
past four years In refusing to assign
Professor Prudhomme TO active duty.
He has repeatedly applied for 1t, and
each time has been Informed that he
must continue on waiting orders.
a number OF years ago Professor
Prudhomme was head of the depart
ment of foreign languages at the Naval
Academy. but on Captain Ramsay be-
Ing relieved as superintendent by Com
nader Sampson, the professor was de-
tached and put on waiting orders, where
he has since remained against his wish
es and protest. Professor prulhomme
has drawn his salary regularly since
October. 1891. and during this time has
performed no service for the govern
nent. Next September he will be six
ty-two years of age, and will then re-
tire.
There is already talk that Ensign
Joseph Strauss will succeed to the VA
cancy, ana the fact that he has been
recently ordered to Washington on spe-
clul duty Is taken as an Indication that
he Is slated for the appointment Mir
strauss salary as ensign Is 81 100 n year
wnen at sea. AS Il professor he will
draw $500 and never have to 70 10
sea.
These naval orders have been issued:
ensign II. S. Douglas, Ensign NJ. l..
miller surgeon j. NJ. Steele, Lieutenant
>. Morgan, Lieutenant a. Glcaves. Lieu
tenant j. NJ Roper, Lieutenant Com
lnander Il. d. Taussig. are all detached

What is the Matter with the water.

Everybody is complaining about the
color of the water. 1t has q milky ap-
pearance and tastes gritty. The general
impression is that the tissue paper
pipes between Portsmouth and the lake
have bursted and that surface water
is getting IN the pipes. The Council
should take some action to prevent
similar occurrences. There are several
hundred strangers in the city and no
water lit for them to drink. Lake Kilby
water Is grand If kept pure. but adulter-
ated it is nothing.
