features to be avoifed wiz make for future
inefficiency.
Sinking Dfsagreeable wor..

when the personnel law went into effect
we had an engineering corps that was rec
ognized as the equal, II NOT the superior, of
that possessed by any other naval power.
This efficiency was secured because the
junior officers of the old engineer corps had
been taught the lesson that to attain sue
cess much disagree$ble work had to be done
and many unpleasant duties performed.
Those who are to succeed to the duties of
the old engineer officers must be taught the
same lesson Of interesting themselves in
the difficult as we'll as the attractive work
of the profession. The deep-seated preju-
dice that existed in the navy against engf-
neering duties has not altogether been erad-
icated, and from this cause it will he a diff
cult matter to create the interest and en-
thusiasm in this work that can be secured
from more congenial and conspicuous as
signments. 1t may not require much per-
suasion to induce many Junior officers to
acquire superficial knowledge of engineer
ing principles. 1t will need determined ac-
ton, however, to compel number sufficient
for the engineering needs of the future to
qualify to a degree that will make them
proficienuy capable of performing this Inn
portant duty.
1.-The success achieved in the past canno,
be repeated unless the same pride and in
terest In engineering work is taken by those
detailed in the future to this duty. The ne.
cessity for looking ahead being recognized
the practical problem arises as to what de-
tails OF policy are essential for such sue
cess
Admiral MelviIle's Advice.
Admiral Melville advises that a large
number of junior officers be sent to the
navy yards for practical engineering train.
ing; that a post graduate engineering
course be established at Annapolis; tina,
stokers be specially trained; that torpedo
boats be used to train machinists and
water tenders; that naval machinists be
given special instructions on repair work al
navy yards; that deserving naval machin,
lists. after twenty years service be giver
navy yard duty; that warrant machinists
be placed on the same footing as other
warrant officers, and that special pay be
allowed water tenders of torpedo boats
The engineer-fn-chief asks for a new
building at Annapolis and an appropriation
of $150,000 for experimental work which he
regards as of incalculable value to the gov.
ernment. He wants to test LIQUID fuel ano
the steam turbine and electricity as a prime
mover, including the storage battery. There
is also need of investigation into the bes,
Water-tube boilers: the causes of corrosior
OF boiler tubes, the availability of com
pressed air as a motor and Of the gas en-.
gine and many other engineering problems
Of great Importance which could be ap.
preached in this experimental laboratory
which might also be made available for use
by mechanics and inventors not financially
able otherwise to test their Inventions The
chief engineer declares that the wonderful
strides made by Germany in the last ter
years can be in great part ascribed to the
Chariottenberg experimental station.

The Pocket Pistol.

From the jackson Tenn Whig.
The pistol-carrying habit Is becoming en-
tifely too prevalent. The courts are en-
tirely too lenient with the tribe that are
such towards that they are afraid to min
gle with their fellows unless they have a
pistol in their pocket. The law against
pistol-carrying is strong. but how few ever
feel its full penalty: Who is to blame for
this?. man with pistol in his pocket is
menace to society, and when caught
should be punished.

There now appears to be no doubt that
the findings Of the naval board on construc-

battle ships and two armored cruisers asked
for by Congress will be submitted to Secre-
tary Long in the shape OF a majority and a
minority report This is because OF the old

want plain turrets on these new ships; the
minority, Admirals Sigsbee and Brad ord,
want the superposed turrets. An effort to
compromise on the matter has proven inef-
fectual The majority take the ground that
there are at present seven warships built
or building with superposed turrets and
say that this is a sufficient number of
ships to have the double turrets. as such
turrets while perfect machines have not
yet had the supreme test OF battle. The
board approved condemnation proceedings
in the case of the single turreted monitor

has been pronounced worthless and is to be

Ex-soLDIER FOUND DEAD.
Ferdinand schroeiakr, / Native Of
Germany, Succunabs to Gastritis.

eeT"ahy, SuCCuHaUb 10 O09tF1t18s
Ferdinand Schroeder discharged caval-
ryman, was found dead in bed at the Co.'S
mopolitan Hotel opposite the Baltimore
and Ohio depot, about 1870 o'clock this
morning. His death. Coroner hewitt re-
ported, was due to gastritis. Schroeder
was about thirty-two years old, and was
native of Germany. He, served eight
years in the army in New York. During
his term of service he did duty in Cuba and
the Philippines, and was discharged from
the 9Th Cavalry June Is last, while suffer-
ing from gastritis.
About a week ago he came to this city
and stopped at the Sherman House. Sat-
urday night he registered at the Cosmopoli-
tan. Last night he again registered there
and this morning he was found dead as
stated.
Brinkley Inge, who lives at 1116 H street
Northeast, called at the hotel to see Schroe-
der He went to his room and raped on
the door, but received no response. De-
tectiye REYNOLDS and Policeman Gordon
were summoned, and they succeeded in
opening the door, and the body was found.
Although the officers were satisfied that the
man was dead they summoned physician
to make an examination. The body was
then taken to the morgue.
So far as the police could ascertain today
the dead mans relatives are all in Ger
MANY. In the room in the hotel the off,
GERS found $3.50 in a belt and about 50 In
the pockets of his clothing.
Schroeder told people about the hotel that
he expected a position in the War Depart
ment as soon as Gen. Corbin returned to

ATTORNEY APPROVES.
Suggested Action on Application for
Remission of Penalties.

SuEgested Action on Application for
RemissiOn of Penalties.
The District Commissioners have received
an opinion from A. B. Duvall, attorney for
the District, upon the application of Will
liam H. Manogue, attorney for Thomas w.
Smith, for the remission of penalties and
interest on the general taxes for 1898
against lot IS, block 3d. Columbia Heights
1T appears" says the attorney, that
the lot was assessed in 1898 in the name of
H. H. Talmadge, and the second half of
the general tax for 1898 being unpaid the
property was liable, in accordance with
law, to advertisement in the delinquent tax
list for 1898, and to sale accordingly. BY
some inadvertence, however, said lot was
not advertised in said delinquent tax list
THE act Of Congress for the support of
the government of the District of Column
bia, approved March 3, 1877, which, by it's
concluding section was declared to be our
permanent tax law until repealed, provided
for the imposition of a penalty upon tax
in arrears. and if the tax was not paid
the penalty and the original tax together
shall constitute the delinquent taxes for
which the property was to be advertised
and sold, and If bought in by the District
interest at 10 per cent from the day of the
sale was to be charged on the amount of
the tax, penalties and cost. etc.
Under the circumstances Of this case
the assessor recommends that the tax be
received with penalties added to April II.
1899 (the date of the sale Of the other
property in Columbia Heights subdivision
and that no interest be charged subsequent
to that date. 1 see no objection to this
disposition Of the matter. Certainly the
imposition of the penalties to the present
time would be inadmissible, and In view of
the fact that the property was not actually
sold at tax sale to the District there could
be no justification for charging interest
based on and to date from a sale which
was not made"
