strike out from section Che section pro-
viding for compulsory retiremenO the pro-
vision for retirement of officers with the
pay and rank Of the next higher grade -
Mr. Foss said that an Involvement had to be
held out to officers to voluntarily retire.
Mr. Bailey said he hardly expected such
frankness from the gentleman in charge of
the bill q
"You SEEK he declared, ito place a
premium on retirement from the service
You propose to hire men to quit in order
that the lower officers may be promoted
more rapidly. And YOU propose to follow
this with similar bill for retirement from
army service
The amendment was lost 70 to 70, where
upon Mr. Bailey moved to strike out the
whole section.
Mr.. Bailey said in principle he opposed
the whole retirement system.
Mr.. Dayton CIV. Va.) said that this and
the following section were the vital ones in
the bill. Voluntary retirement from the
lower grades would not only prevent stag
nation but it would be economical in that
officers would be retired in the lower
grades instead of remaining in the service
being rushed through the higher grades
and then retired in the highest rank at
three-quarterS pay.
Mr.. Cummings IN. ", in supporting the
proposed retirement system pointed out
that in the French navy officers were pro-
NOTED for merit. and in the English navy
an age limit was fixed for each grade If
be retired promoted. The American navy
was the only one in which promotion went
by seniority. 1t was the old French sys-
tenn of Louis XVI. This bill is to promote
the efficiency of the navy said he, land
looking at the Philippines, Russia Ger
many and France, 1 say you will need an
efficient navy within the next ten years.
The amendment was defeated-52!91.

ELECTRIC ROAD TO ROCKVILLE.
Probable Extension of the Line to
Hcthcsda Park.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, January II, 1899.
The citizens of Rockville and vicinity are
much pleased at the prospect of soon hav-
ing electric railway communication with
Washington. Mr. H. Maurice Talbot attor-
ney for the Washington and Rockville Elec-
trio Railway Company, is authority for the
statement that within very few months
the Washington and Rockville road, which
is now in operation from Washington to
Bethesda Park, will be extended to Rock
Vile.
Several weeks ago the railway company
made application to the county commits
sioneTs for a right of way over the old
road and the Georgetown turnpike from
the terminus of the present road to Rock
Vile. The commissioners granted the right
of way over the old road and agreed to
grant a right of way over the turnpike
upon the payment of q certain sum-SGo0
per mile. Several days ago the company
paid to the commissioners the amount de-
manded, and this is taken as a certain in
dlCation that the road will be built. Engi-
neers have already been at work stalking
out the line of the road, and, it is said, as
soon as this work is completed the work of
construction will begin.
The agreement with the commissioners
expires July /. 1900,
While Mrs. James a. Meredith. who re-
sides about a mile and a half west of this
town, was driving along the Jamestown
road near her home recently she was ac-
cidentaily shot in the back of the head by
colOred man who was hunting rabbits
near the roadside. The force of the shot
was broken in first passing through the
buggy curtain. and this fact probably saved
Mrs. Meredith from being dangerously
wounded. Her little grandson. Lee Kemp
son of Mr.. James A. Kemp of the Washing
ton police department, was in the buggy
at the time of the accident, but was not
injured.
The funeral of Francis Gray, who died
Saturday morning at the Emergency Hos
pital, Washington, took place here yester-
day morning. As has already been stated
In The Star, Mr.. Gray some weeks ago had
his left hand badly lacerated by a shotgun
exploding in his hands. Death was caused
by blood poison resulting from the injury
A conference of prominent Mcdonald re-
publicans was held here Saturday afternoon
The meeting, is is said. was for the purpose
OF laying plans to capture the coming repub-
lican primaries. Those participating were
Congressman Mcdonald. Gen Allan Ruth
erford, Charles B. Jones and c. Minor An
derson.
Mrs Caroline Bean. wife of Basil T. Bean.
residing about a mile from this place. died
yesterday morning of pneumonia after a
weeks Illness. Mrs. Bean was seventy-two
years old and a lifelong resident of
this county. Her husband and five grown
children survive her.

Wimberly wants Gen. Badger or a white
