Under orders recently issued by the Sec
rotary of War. Lieutenant Colonel Russell
B. Harrison, son Of ex-President Harrison,
severed his connection with the volunteer
army today. tie was attached to the In
spector generals department, and his last
service was in the department of Porto rico.
The Withdrawal Of most of the troops from
that island, due to the discontinuance Of
the military department of Porto Rico, is
given at the War Department as the reason
for the discharge of Colonel Harrison.
That officer has been in continuous service
in the volunteer establishment since the
outbreak Of the Spanish war and made n
good record for himself in the Santiago
campaign, and subsequently in Porto Rico.
While serving in Cuba he was stricken
down with yellow fever and for a time it
was feared he would not recover.

Home Study for Children.

The protest of some medical men against
the excessive amount of study demanded of
the children in the public schools seems to
be we'll founded. The school hours are suf-
tioiently long for growing boys and girls,
who need plenty of outdoor air and exer-
else for the preservation of their health.
But much work is supposed to be done at
hcme; every evening there are lessons to be
learned for the morrow. Possibly under
the existing system this is in measure in
eyitabl6 But surely good education
Q, ght to be acquired between the ages Of
six and sixteen with five hours daily de-
voted to the task More than this is a
threat to the physical well-being of the
child 1t is time that this aspect of the
question was considered more seriously.

SENATOR MARTINS VIEWS.
Sees No Reason for the Democrats to
Obstruct Legislation.

Sees No Reason for the Democrats to
Obstruct Legislation.
II see no reason for any captious objec-
ton or dilatory tactics on the part of the
democrats toward any measure that is IL
able to come before Congress during the
coming session. said Senator Martin of
Virginia to a Star reporter today.
$50 far as an increase of the army is con-
cerned there is no doubt in my mind that
if we are to continue the foreign policy we
have entered upon we will need a larger
army.
Il do not anticipate that the republicans
will allow sectionaism to enter into the
reapportionment of representatives in Con-
greSs. I am satisfied that the apportio
ment will be on the basis of population. OF
course some republicans senator or repre-
sentative may make sectional speech but
the republican party | am satisfied, Will
deal in spirit of fairness with that ques-
ton.
Il am against the ship subsidy bill and
shall vote ag iinst it. If it is evident that
there is d majority for the bill it will be
passed, l think, without any dilatory move
on the part of the minority. If this spirit
prevails in Congress- and 1 think it will,
the short session will give ample time to
transact all the business that is now likely
to come before ii.
Il do not mean that the minority has no
responsibilities but merely that the demo-
Gratis will be satisfied with a statement of
their objections and with recording their
votes against bills they do not approve"

WORK OF WEATHER BUREAU.
Prof. Moore Regards Richmond Deci.
sion as VindicatiOn.

sion a N1n01Cat1On.
Prof. Willis L. Moore. chief Of the wealth
err bureau, made a statement today in ref
erence to the recent decision Of the United
States court of appeals, at Richmond, Va,
in a case involving the responsibility of a
vessel master for damages by rain to
cargo of rice discharged by him on an I'M
sheltered wharf at Charleston, s. c., at a
time when the weather bureau forecast
contained a prediction of rain. From the
captions and comments in many papers the
decision of the judge is made to appear as
severely condemning the government fore
casts. while. in reality. says Prof Moore.
the decision was a strong communication Of
the accuracy and value to commerce of the
storm warnings of the weather bureau. The
judge clearly stated that where such warn
ings are brought to the attention of vessel
masters it is their duty to take cOgniZance
of the same and observe them
After reviewing the opinion of the court,
Prof. Moore says: at is apparent. there
fore. that the decisions of the courts on the
whole were commendatory of the work of
the bureau. but have by false coloring been
made to appear as condemnatory.'

HEARING IN PROGRESS.
Suit to Test Right of Commissioners
In Certain Cases.


In Certain Cases.
Hearing was in progress today before
Justice Barnard in Equity Court No. 2, in
connection with the proceedings for injunc-
ton instituted by John H. Nolan against
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company. This is the case brought to test
the right OF the District Commissioners to
issue permits for the stringing of wires to
be used for telephone purposes in the Dis
trict of Columbia outside the limits of the
city of Washington.
1t seems that the telephone company has
received from the District Commissioners
permission to string from a pole in front
Of premises of the complainant on Columbia
road. between Belmont avenue and 18th
street. a pair of wires for the purpose OF
line; and that in order to make the house
connection it will be necessary to string
wires over and across the sidewalk in front
of the compliments premises TO otner
premises occupied by Mr.. Miller.
Mr.. Nolan declares that the telephone
company has no legal or valid authority
or right to string the wires as planned and
that the Commissioners are without au-
thority to issue permits for the stringlng Oh
wires to be used for telephone purposes in
the District of Columbia outside the city
of Washington.
The court is asked to restrain the tele-
phone company from stringing the wires
as outlined.
In it's answer the defendant company. in
substance. merely sets forth that 1t is law
fully authorized to string the wires as
planned
The arguments related entirely to the in
depreciation of the law governing the
stringing of telephone wires. 1t is agreed
by counsel on both sides that the question
at issue is a difficult and abstruse one.
Attorney F. d. Mckenney represents the
complainant, while Mr.. A. B. Duvall, attor-
ney for the District of Columbia, was pres
ent and supported the contentious of Mr..
McKenney Attorneys Jere Wilson and A.
S. Worthington appeared for the telephone
company. The court will probably take
the matter under adYiSement.

AbandOns His Position ON Force,

Policeman Alexander r. Cow of the third
precinct today abandoned his position in
the department, turned in his equipments
at the third precinct station, to which he
was attached and left without making any
explanation whatever to the officer in
charge at the time. 1t Is surmised at head
quarters that the reason for Cows action
was because he was cited to appear before
the trial board today to answer charges of
neglect of duty last evening and the even
ing before. Cow was appointed police
officer August 1. 1896, and assigned to the
seventh precinct. Later he was transferred
to the third. During his four years of
service he was before the trial board twice.
