the appropriation for the maintenance of

tional appropriation TO extend the service
of the pneumatic system in other cities
Mr.. Corwine was sent to Washington to
look after several matters. and he was
/ especially instructed to take such action
as was proper in this particular matter
Referring to this subject Mr. Corwine
| said: A special meeting of the Committee
| of the House of Representatives on Post
roads and Postofiices has been called for
next Friday. at which it is hoped there
may be a reconsideration of this subject
The necessary signatures for this special
! meeting were obtained yesterday after
noon. The action of this committee in
striking out this item is a very serious
blow to the extension of the Improvement

RAILWAY TO ROCKVILLE.
Prospects of It's Completion During
the Spring.

The present indications are of such a
character that it is justiiable to hope
that the long talked of electric railway
between Washington and Rockville will
be completed between this and the middle
Of the coming summer.
The Montgomery County commissioners
granted to the Rockville Railway Com
pauy right of way over the new Rock
Vile turnpike which is being constructed
providing that the company should
pay them the sum of $500 per mile. one
third TO be paid on January l. 1899, one
third to be paid on July l. 1898, and the
remaining one-third on January l. 1900.
The commissioners also required that
the railway company should give bond in
the sum of $500 for good faith, and
further that the building of the road be
completed by July /, 1900
On the LIST of January the railway COM
pany paid over to the county commission
ers the required 5000 mile, and fulfilled
all other conditions imposed.
When the road was first under serious
contemplation number of citizens own
ing farms adjoining the old Washington
Road entered a protest against granting
any right of way which would interfere
with the pike constructed on that road
FOR the benefit of any private enterprise
These objections have, however been
Withdrawn and the right of way granted

The Amendment to Abolish
Prize Money Adopted.

Retirement for Enlisted Men-EiGht-

indefinite Number of Conrnio-
dores-Proposed Abolition of the
Two Years Cruise Clause Defeated.

The navy personnel bill was passed by
the House Yesterday with only one amend
ment other than those presented by the
Committee on Naval Affairs. Among the
latter we're amendments inserting provis-
ions for a Judge advocate generals de-
partment similar to that in the army. pro-
viding for the total abolition hereafter Of

obtaining in the army and providing ior the
major general. but this was WITHDRAWN al
ter strong opposition had been manifested
TO it.
The main points of attack of the minor
ity were on the increased rank carried by
the bill on the compulsory and voluntary
retirement features and on the aboiltlon
of the two-y years cruise now included IN
the Naval Academy curriculum.
According to the bill passed, the navy
will have eighteen rear admirals, an IN
definite number OF acting commodores,
seventy captains and others in proportion.
Officers in the grades Of captain command
er and lieutenant commander may on ap-
ulication be placed on retiring list Kept
4
for the purpose, and if the number OF va
cancies occurring the next year falls below
a specified number, the President may re-
| tire enough of those on the list TO bring
up the retirements TO the number re
quired.
Provisions are made for compulsory re-
tirement in case the voluntary retrements
are not sufficient. Officers are TO retire at
| three-fourths the sea pay for the next
higher grade. Some such measure is said
| to exist in every navy in the world except
| that OF the United States, and its absence
| here, il is said, clogs promotion and keeps
officers from command until they are too
| old to do the best work

and second lieutenants, with five reEi-
mcnts of enlisted men.
| The President may fill the original va
cancies thus created from the Naval Acad-
eny, from the acting officers OF the corps
during the war. and from civil life. and
! from the non-commissioned staff. but no
one except an Academy graduate is to be
over tweuty-siX years OF age.

fear held by Mr.. Dunlop's company that
