Washington street Cars.

tfrom the 81. PauI Dlspatch-1
Washington, among other cities, Is now con-
graduating itself the beneficent ministries OF
the electric push button system to the conven-
ience of street-ear passengers. Instead of franti
cally ondeayoring to catch the eye of the con-
ductor in a crowded car-and often failing to
catch said eye until you carried block or
two beyond ycur stopping plaee-when the push
buttons are available you just touch the one by
your side and the car is promptly stopped 1t
is needless TO say those buttons are not yet
available in the Twin City cars Instead our
street railway company has lately put upon its
lines some secondhand cars from st. Louis (where
the push-button plan originated and has care
fully removed the buttons therefrom, lest taste
of their convenience should provoke popular
clamor for their introduction on all the cars. Yet
the cost is such triie that it seems the company
might we'll afford it, especially in view of the
popularity to be won.

NAVAL ARCHITECTURE
Post Graduate Course Studies May
Be Transferred to Boston.

II
Secretary Long has under consideration
the proposition TO transfer the post grad
uate course of naval architecture from
the Naval Academy at Annapolis TO the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. at
Boston. As stated in The Times several
days ago. Capt. Dickins. of the Bureau of
Navigation has reported against the pro-
posed transfer.
Chief Constructor Hichborn has taken
issue with Capt Dickins. and yesterday
he declared himself in favor OF the BGs-
ton Institution IN doing this he said the
Massachusetts Institute is better adapted
10 the purpose than the Naval Academy
for the reason that it provides more
extended course of instruction with a
larger corps of professors. and further be-
cause the proximity Of the n2vv yJrd at
Boston would enable the naval students 10
obtain a more practical insight into the
art of ship construction than is possible
at Annapolis.
Constructor HichbOrn added that If the
course is continued at the Naval Academy
it viii be necessary TO send the students
10 the various naval stations at great
cost TO get this practical knowledge

America and England.

II Americans have forgotten in the
past how closely related they are to the
English there is no chance of the fact
slipping their memory at this time
When Great Britain found herself alone
in the world, with other jealous pow
ers effecting combinations against her,
she remembered that she had kinfolks
across the water. She suddenly ceased
her role of critic of America and be-
gan the maternal business. When our
gallant Jackies pounded the Spanish
ships into junk and our soldiers scaled
almost impregnable heights in Cuba she
could not restrain her joy. We became
amazingly dear to her. Now that we
have interests near the borders OF
China, where she is having hard time
TO hold her own, she can hardly say
enough about the kinship of blood
which she so long ignored.
1t is all right. Self-interest is at the
bottom of many of the best and most
benefcent sentiments That England is
sincere in her admiration of the Ameri-
cans for their achievements in peace
and in war there is no reason to doubt.
although her peculiar situation may
have been the cause of her discovery of
our virtues. But we shall have to be
guided chiefly by our own self-inter-
ests in whatever course we adopt. We
can hardly be expected to ALLEVIATE other
friends from a sentiment of family re-
lationship with England. If it should
happen that our own necessities and
English requirements should bring the
two English-speaking peoples together
to achieve common object, there is no
doubt that the object would be achiev-
ed. 1t is safe to say that as regards
China, America will not so further than
her own defense demands.

1t is unfair, and even worse, TO say that
the wholesale slaughter of our forces by
rotten meat poison, starvation and so on,
has been all due to the inefficiency of the
young staff officers who derived their mill
tary training from the fact that their
fathers are senators, members of Congress
or millionaires. They have averaged
badly enough for feeble mindedness and
general worthlessness, God knows. But
we doubt if they are responsible for the
original packing of decomposed corn beef

rapid money maker, too.

As a matter of common information. the
present Government of the country con-

itself an Administration, and yet is not
above doing things that nobody could
call decent or square. For example, here

winking, in order that he may indulge
himself in all the pleasant designations of
the political campaign in New York
Then, on the other hand, there is William
