How Senator Perkins Bill Would
Change Them.
REDUCTIONS ONLY NOMINAL.
Billiard Tables, bowling Alleys. CT
gar stands, Restaurants, Taxi
dermists and TobRccOnists Will
Have Their Fees Reduced, and
One Class of Merchants Must
Pay Nore-Money for schools.

There is much local interest in the
three bills to amend the criminal
code of procedure of Alaska presented to
the senate by Senator Perkins, of Califor-
MIA The principal changes In the law, IL
they pass, and the one of probably great
est concern to residents of Alaska, is that
all money derived from licenses is to go
toward the maintenance of the Alaskan
public school system, instead of being
taken out of the territory. 1t is esti-
mated that this will give at least $500, 900
for this purpose, as that is a conserva-
tive estimate of the annual receipts from
licences.
Only a few changes in the amount of
license are made. The principal ones are
to reduce the tax on boarding houses
from SOS to SIS; on billiard tables and
bowling alleys, a similar reduction: the
same on cigar stands; increasing the fees
collected from mercantile establishments
doing business of SIC, 900 year from
$3.50 to 1876, and reducing those doing
business of 5000 to 800. a reduction of
s25; taking S. a year off the meat market
license, which is now $50; cutting the res
taurant tax down to SIS from SIS; making
a similar reduction for tobacconists. and
dividing in half the taxidermist tax of
$50.
For purposes OF comparison and to
answer general inquiries the fees col
lected under the present law and those
proposed by Senator Perkins. are given in
parallel columns. as follows. The figures
give the amounts of annual tax:

It Is standing reproach to the Amer
lean conception of progress.
Without denying that Annapolis, adj
5acent to which the Naval academy is
situated, is a spot to be cherished, with
its traditions of Washington and Cap
tain John Smith and its colonial and
Revolutionary associations, it must be
admitted that it looks backward rather
than forward and hardly keeps step
with the spirit of the times. A gilt
tering halo of antiquity is good thing
to have in its place, and the chief crit
icism of European writer's has been
that the United States lacks that air of
mellowness and maturity that goes
with the possession of ruins and an
tiquity. But if the teachings of history
mean anything they show that matur-
lty, ruins and the halo usually indicate
hnd Immediately precede an undesirable
condition of decay
1t is now IS years since the Hon.
George Bancroft, the eminent historian,
then secretary of the navy, waved his
wand of authority and brought into be-
ting the United States Naval academy.
The very best place at that time avail
able was old Fort Severn, an army post
comprising, besides the fort, about nine
acres of grounds, officers quarters, bar
racks for troops and windmill Here
the naval school was formally opened
on Oct. 10, 1S45, and here all the naval
officers who lord 1t over American

The jealousy which nearly always ex-
lists between different arms of the mii-
itary service used to be illustrated by
the dialogues which took place be-
tween cavalrymen and infantrymen
during the civil war. 1t was a fayorite
and brutal joke on the part of the cav-
alrymen, who affected to despise the
foot soldiers, to shout to some soldiers
as the cavalry were passing the infan-i
try on the march:
Are you tired Of walking?
Whereupon, if the infantryman, sup
posing that he was going to get lift;
responded, Eyes," the cayalryman
would say, "well, try running aWhile!"
The infantrymen, for their part. rio-
iculed the, cavalrymen unmerclfuiiy
when they were in camp, where theS
cavalrymen were compelled to spend
much of their time in acting as nody
servants to their horses.
A cavalryman was one day engaged
in laboriously Cleaning down" his
rather rawboned steed. An infantry
man sauntered up and, with his hands
behind his back, leisurely Inspected the
operation.
Hello, John!' said the cavalrylnan.
"Think you'd like to be in the cavalry
"Oh, yes,' said the infantrymaE; but
only as a horse"

who hitherto has had to submit to the
boast of the West Pointer that he was
Tapped in luxury by comparison, may
now cherish the hope that nowhere else
in the world will be found such accom-
modations for the student OF naval af-
fairs as at notwithstanding that
his Uncle Samuel who is supposed to
take care of good boys and punish the
bad ones, will do as he has promised
and cause congress to eventually APP
propriate the full $S,0OO,000 which the
plans call for That is what the total
will be, it is said, by the time all the
schemes of Improvement are carried
out, and then the United States will be
able to truly boast that it has the
grandest and most complete school for
the training of it's sea fighters to be
found anywhere in the wide, wide
world.

On the shapely pier jutting into the
Severn river and adorned with it's fam
ing beacons Is feet high, stands the
power house, which will not only supply
power throughout the grounds. but will
serve. with it's engines, machinery and
boilers, as an object lesson in engineer
ing for the students.
1t is we'll known, Of course, that what
West Point is to the army Annapolis is
to the navy, though electricity, lan-
guages, steam and steam engineering
are in measure substituted for and
carried further than mechanics, chem
istry, tactics and the art of war In
general. The manner of appointment is
the same, however-one cadet from
each congressional district, to be be-

ton AS at West Point, also, he must
pass a creditable examination in Eng

zebra and the "three RS and a phys
ical test as well, so that not more than

to get in.

place in May and September. those

few years ago to examine into condi-
tions here pronounced it actually I'M
safe and the cadets lives in danger
from possible collapse. For nearly
200 feet of it's length it is shored
UP on the outside with heavy timbers
bolted together, until 1t looks more like
a building in process of construction
than one finished years ago, in which.
when the weather will not permit of
outdoor work, all drills must be per-
formed.
To illustrate the flimsy character of
the old buildings, one of the congress
sional committee, graduate of the
academy, related story of his own adj
ventures. One night, he said, when he
and some of his comrades were hard
at work on their studies they suddenly
heard a rumbling sound, followed by a
terrible crash, and their lightsswere ex-
tinguished byga rush Of cold air. One
side of the, building. had fallen out, ex
posing the rooms on the side toward
the water and leaving the young men
sitting on sort of shelf in the open
air, staring into space and wondering
how in the world they should ever get
down. The floor beams held, however,
else there might have been great loss Of
| life.
At another time, and more recently,
one of the buildings in this same row
| split in two from top to bottom and
seemed to be held together only by the

IT WAS in accordance with the en-
lightened sentiment Of the age that
congress two years ago made pre-
liminary appropriation Of $1,000,000 look
Ing toward the complete renovation Of
the United States Naval academy at
Annapolis and the ultimate posi-
BILE expenditure of $S0OO,00O. Aside
from the objection that contem-
plation Of sums well UP in the
millions is likely to beget spirit Of
waste and extravaganza, it is universal
ly acknowledged that there is a true
economy in laying the foundations of
public Institutions broad and deep and
erecting buildings that shall defy the
corroding tooth of time and express
enthusiastically the status Of national
advancement.
While the general situation Of the
Naval academy is considered as an
ideal one, viewing its natural features
and immediate environment, vet so far

buildings, such as the officers and ca
dets' quarters, the academic building,
the lyceum, physics and chemistry
building, boathouse and armory.
The fine old trees which now adorn
the campus are to be preserved, while
the lawns will be extended toward the
river, and the broad parade ground
will be enlarged by moving the sea
wall, which is of immense monolithic
blocks, toward the river channel.
When the proposed plan is carried
out, the buildings will be in three main
groups-one on each of three sides
of the campus, the other side be-
ing bounded by the basin. The ca
dets' quarters will be on the right
entering from the town, the academic
buildings on the left, and the off,
GERS quarters, as at present. on line
parallel with and just inside the wall
which incloses the grounds on the side
toward the town. The cadets quarters.
standing between the campus and the
great parade ground, will be flanked on

begin at the bottom and work radical
renovation of the entire institution, SO
that there will be located at Annapolis
in the end not merely an academy for
the training of naval men, but real
university with everything that the
term implies.
The pictures presented on this page
will convey more correct conception
than mere words of the character and
magnitude of the vast undertaking.
Starting out with most favorable topo-
graphical conditions, which lend them
selves to beautiful landscape and
architectural effects, the results will be
as great from the artistic as from the
economic point of view. According to
the general plans the key Of the scheme
will be the magnificent memorial chap
ell, with its foundations 160 feet square,
and a dome rising to the height of $50
feet The disposition of the various
buildings will be such as not only to
bring every structure into the place
most convenient for it, but also to

ging of ropes and spars before it could
with safety be taken down.
Such incidents as these furnish some
of the spice of the cadets shore exist
ence without which the eternal grind"
might become monotonous. 1t is not
known that they have formally COM
planned, for one of the first lessons they
learn at Annapolis is discipline and
strict obedience; but it is matter Of
current comment that the sanitation is
bad, that many ordinary conveniences
to be found in modern dwellings, are
conspicuous by their absence and that
the present accommodations are so in
adequate that instead of there being a
sleeping room and study for each pair
of students, as in the average college,
one small room has to answer every
purpose for two during the four long
years of attendance.
But all this is soon to be changed, If
the intentions Of congress are to be
taken as criterion. The poor cadet

West Point cadet is exposed, and in
general it may be said that, while the
rules Of the academy and the discipline
are as rigid as in the other institution,
the lines between the different classes
are not quite so strictly drawn. The
term of service has been four years,
with two years additional cruising on
board ship, and the graduate pledges
himself to serve at least eight years aft
err his release from the academy
1t has been proposed to extend the
term Of study TO five years and, per-
haps, omit the extra two at sea, and
certainly the curriculum calls for in
tense application in order to crowd into
four years the amount of study neces-
sary to pass muster and obtain. a COM
