Washington. Oct 2s.-William Jen-
3n!ngs Bryan arrived at the national
capital at s o'clock this morning from
West Virginia. About 1000 people were.
at the station to greet him. In company
with ex-Judge William NJ. Springer,
Bryan wae driven to the residence of
the Judge for breakfast. At 9 Bryan
went to the Baltimore & Ohio depot,
where he made brief speech on imperi-
alism and civil service. He closed with
the statement that 1t was not his high
eat ambition to be president "but to
make this government go good that to
be a private citizen in this republic
would be greater honor than to be
king ir any other nation
AT the conclusion of his speech he left
on a special train for Rockville, where
Z he made the first of series OF speeches
on his tour of Maryland towns.
AT Rockville Bryan spoke from a
stand erected near the railroad sta

tive. His speech was largely a repeti-
tion of former arguments.

10 RAISE ENTRANCE GRADE. .
superintendento Of Military Academy
Max es strong Recommendations.

superintendent OF Military Academy
Makes strong ecommendations.
Washington, Oct 22-Co1. A. L. Mills,
superintendent of the military acad-
emy at West Point, has made his an-
nual report to the adtutant general. He
says the health of the cadets has been
excellent, tho many cadets have had
trouble with their eyes. 1t Is hoped
their condition will be improved when
new gas burners are instituted in the
academy.
He recommends more time for drill
regulations. Thirty cadets were found
deficient in their studies and We're dis
charged. He highly compliments the
graduating class of this year, who were
ready to take up their duties when
Joining the troops. He speaks in COM
and says that the foot bali match be-
tween the military and naval acad-
emies causes no relaxation Of attention
to studies and instruction.
He says there has been IAN absolute
end this summer of the particularly
extreme forms of hazing the new ca
diets which were referred to in the last
annual report. This condition has been
brought about largely by the voluntary
action of the cadets themselves
He renews his recommendation that
/ the cadets at West Point be placed
upon the same basis as the naval ca
diets in the matter of pay, as there is a
difference now of $50. so a. year in favor
4 OF the naval cadets.
4 The superintendent devotes the
greater part of his report to an earnest
4 plea for the elevation Of the standard
of admission to West Point. to which
end he suggests that the secretary OF
war be empowered to prescribe these
requirements. He lays particular stress
upon the fact that the entrance exam
j nation at present corresponds closely
to the educational qualifications OF
4 pupils Of the public schools just e,nerg-
4 ing from the primary grades. Accord
4 ing to the commissioner of education
pupils of an average age of IA years six
months in the public schools have thess
4 qualifications. Yet the average age OF
!. the applicant to West Point is above
and boys at that time of life should be
! equipped with high school education
Including subjects which are not now 8
part OF the entrance examination al
A West Point, but which should be in the
, future. The superintendent says il
would be in a way advantageous t.
have the re!at tlons between arithmetic
s and algebra and geometry made TIL,
same as now exists in the public school
4 There iE no desire that the entrance ex
animation should be made more diff
cult, but only that 1t should requir
