Naval Academy Buiidlngr Unsafe for the
Occupancy of the Students
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-The danger.
pus state OF the buildings at the naval
academy led Secretary Long to request
Assistant. Secretary Roosevelt to make
IN inquiry into their condition and q
report upon the repairs needed. Mr..
Roosevelts report which has just been
made, shows that the studies build
ings have fallen into such ruin that
the cadets have been assigned to attics
and garrets as the only available
sspaees, while the storehouse is in such
condition that the s~torekeeper refuses
to be responsible for the safety of the
goods m his care.
Mr.. Roosevelt found that there was
need for much new construction, but
the least that can be done is to rebuild
immediately the armory, boat house.
power house and basin for boats. This
work Ia deemed to be immediately re,
quired in order that the boys shall not
suffer in the technical part of their
educstion-
It ID the design to make the build
ings part of a general scheme for the
reconstruction of the academic build
fngs; but while this is the case and
they will not be bits of patchwork,
still they may be regarded as complete
In themselves without reference to
what may be done hereafter in the
wAy of building. The work will cost
between 800, 900 and 1000, 600.

WAS A RED LETTER
Greatest Day in Commercial
Annals of the City.
LAST RUSH BY THE MEN
How Two Men Made a Trade
at the Last Moment

Last night several Of the large stores OF
Wichita reported that they had made four
deposits during the day. This was at 9
o'clock, and after that hour hundreds of
dollars worth of goods were sold.
Saturday. December "a. stands as the
greatest commercial day in the annals of
this city. II was the congestion from all
quarters always noticeable the day before
Christmas, but more marked this year
than ever before.
In the first place, Saturday at any time
0 fthe year is in Wichita crowded day
The day before Christmas always brings
its Jam. as has been said. The day was
perfect. which increased the throng. The
country roads were passable for the first
time in the week, and from the farms
poured stream of humanity. swelling the
great masses in the strets and stores. The
incoming trains were heavily laden, and
these filled the sidewalks 10 the curbs
edge.
The day. watched from the early morn
ing until late at night, seemed to gather
impetus BY 10 o'clock in the morning it
was rush. By o'clock at night it was
Almost riot.
And the upshot Is that this morning
Wichita will in many respects have the
happiest holiday that has yet fallen 10 its
lot.
What a tangle it was in the stores yes
terday; what a scream OF cash" and beg
pardon collisions and entangling indeci-
sions and undue haste and aggravat
ing elaboration among customers, all
mingled together, until the average sales
man and woman didn't know at bedtime
last evening whether he or she was a-fo0t
or horseback. The shelves nicely ordered
early for the oncoming and final rush, saw
disorder eat further and further into their
hearts. This trinket, which had pleased so
many eyes. at last disappeared, and that
ware was gone from among its fellows.
and in little time its fellows had travelled
elsewhere themselves. The box of tin
horns sank lower and lower and the row
of drums became scraggly and uninterest-
ing as a collection; the family Of dolls be-
came thinner and thinner.
But what a ome-going at 6 O'clock!
Streets full, arms full, street cars full,
bUggies full, vans full; and all in one
good-natured tangle. The men with the
hobby-horse in one arm and the baby
buggy in the other was taking up three
seats, but he couldn't see how he could
help it. and the woman with a world of
indescribabe packages piled all over her,
knew that something was sure to be ruined
if any more crowded into the car, and the
boy with the candy cane stood on the rear
most part of the back platform and held
his treasure out of distinctions way.
But the really amusing thing about
Christmas in Wichita is the late night
trade.

About u O'Clock al night a good many
o. the Wichita men suddenly remember
that Christmas is mighty near. and If they
are going to do anything they better hustle
around and do it. Strange to say. this
trade is a very valuable one. as the men
are easy buyers and do not worry much
about price They go into store and hang
ever the counter and mourn their lot; cant
see for the life Of them what to get; what
is wanted; what vii please. Can't remem-

a VULGAR ATTACK.

The Advertiser has undertaken a
difficult task in taking up the de-
Tense OF the Superintendent OF Pub
lie Works, aud it has certainly not
helped its protegee by attacking a
number OF members OF the Legis-
lature in most virulent and vulgar
manner.
The liberty of the press should
always be respected, but when the
"press" appears in the role of an
asinine black-guard it should be-
"sat on"
The Advertiser man does not ad-
vance one iota of evidence against
the statements made by the Commit
tee of Public Lands in regard to Mr..
Rowell. The organ confines itself
to calling names and it does that
with a great deal OF "gusto" and
evidently believes itself very witty
and funny.
Representatives Paris, Pogue, Nc
Candless and Loebenstein may
laugh and shrug their shoulders at
the old grandma" paper, consider
ing it beneath their dignity to take
any notice OF the vaporings of the
fossilized crank, who naturally ON
"racial" points stands up for his
"missionary" friend, Mr. Rowell.
Should the House decide to call the
offending scribbler before its bar
and censure him for his vulgar at
tack on the individual members OF
the House of Representatives it will
meet the sympathy and support of
all men, who believe in fair criticism
Of public men but not in vulgar
abuse and idiotic platitudes in de-
Tending an official pet"

ANOTHER STEAL CHECKED.

President Dole had pet scheme
which met with defeat this morning
in the Senate. He bad prepared a
bill which provided salary for one
VI his "lomhs," and which would
make this Government an employ
ment agency, The bill was of
course supported by Minister Coop
or and by the friends Of the "to be"
official. Sore disappointment reigned
supreme in high circles when Sena-
tor Kepoikai read his report on the
bill this morning, and the report
providing for the tabling Of the bill
was adopted unanimously. The re-
port reads as follows:
THE miscellaneous committee, to
whom was referred House Bill "a,
establishing u general employment
agency, beg leave TO submit the
following report thereon:
"The bill provides for paid Off.
cial who il to establish.a employ
ment bureau where employers aud
employees may cometogether to their
mutual advantage. The salary Of
this official is to be fixed by the
Legislature, while fee OF 25 cents
is charged both to the applicants
Tor work and for laborers. The COM
mittee is OF opinion that there are
altogether too many paid officials in
the employ Of the Government at
present without increasing the num-
ber by new legislation, and the
number should be lessened rather
than increased.
"In other countries where there is
a demand for an employ ment bureau
such as is proposed by the present
bill, there is generally to be found
both enterprisiug men and women
willing to open the same and de-
pend on their own exertions for re-
muneration.
Further the committee does not
believe in the Government engaging
in the business of opening an en-
ployment bureau or that such a
concern would be a success il start
ed, owing to our limited population,
and therefore recommend that the
bill be laid on the table.
"In conclusion the undersigned
would add that he is the only men,
Der OF the committee left in town,
but he is firmly of the opinion that
il the other two members were pres
ent t ey would thoroughly endorse
aud agree with the above.
Respectfully submitted,
