Total Deaths for the Week ASH,
Over Half the Number Children.
Baltimore, July 6.-The number of
deaths in this city for the week ending
to-day is 451 the highest of which the
health department has any record. OF
these 2S6 were children under years of
age. At least. so per cent. of the NOR
tally is said by the health department
officials to be due, either directly or in
directly to the intense heat, which has
prevailed during the period mentioned.
The hot spell was at least temporarily
ended this afternoon by a thunderstorm,
which came up at about $3.50 p. m. and
sent the mercury down from 96 to So in
less than an hour

chase Of Long Pond. a mountain lake, that
the water supply of the Academy may be
increased. The Lusk reservoir, from which
the water supply of the Academy is now
obtained has been reported by Col A. L.
Mills, the Superintendent, to be made
quate. A report on this subject made to
the Secretary of War by Colonel Mills has
been transmitted TO The Speaker of the
House of Representatives and referred to
the Committee on Military Affairs. Colonel
Mills saws:
The recently constructed Lusk reser-
voir. which was designed to store water
and relieve the needs OF conditions then
existent, is now inadequate without an adj
ditional source Of supply to meet the de-
mand Of the largely increased consumption
recently brought about at the Military
Academy The question Is a serious and
important one. ANY considerable diminu-
ton in rainfall such as characterlzes a
modern drought is bound 10 produce a
water famine. and 1t is therefore a mat

able source Of supply in this vicinity. i. e.,

future needs Of the institution as regards
water supply would present insuperable
difficulties and could only be met by bring
ing water over. a mountain from a lake
fourteen miles away, at far greater ex-
penditure of money. From thorough IN
vestigation that has been made OF the
subject, there can be no reasonable doubt
that the requirement OF Long Pond will

NAVAL OFFICERS, NAMES.
An Innovation in the New Register
just Issued

The new naval register contains an in
novation in the insertion of the full names
OF officers. Curiously enough this rule is
rot applied TO officers of the Marine Corps
whose first and last names and middle
initials are given. Under recent order
every officer was instructed 10 send 10 the
department for insertion in the register
his full name, and only few. for various
reasons failed to do so. 1t is said that
some officers objected 10 the new prac-
tice, while others welcomed it, Hereto
fore the practice has been to insert the
officers first given and his family name,
and the initial or initials of his middle
name or names. Hypbenating was rot
permitted. II an officer who had entered
the service as John Smith Jones wanted
to be entered as Smith Jones under s in
the alphabetical list, this privilege WIS
denied him and he was put down in the
Us as John s. Jones.
The list begins with the name of John
Davis Long. Secretary of the Navy. OF
the nineteen flag officers. including Ad-
miral Dewey FIVE have no middle names.
Capt George Francis Faxon Wilde, of the
Oregon, is the only officer above the grade
of commander who has three given names.
The register shows that Rear Admiral
Melville, Chief of the Bureau of Steam
Engineering, is not George Washington,
but George Wallace Melville. and Lieu
tenant Commander Switzerland is one of
the few men with initials W. H. H., whose
given names are not William Henry Har-
rison. He is William Henry Hudson South
erland Royal Bird are the given names
of Rear Admiral Bradford Chief of the
Equipment Bureau 1t becomes known
through the register that Capt. Bob
Evans was called Robley Dunglison by his
parents. The junior captain is John Jacob
Hunker and his brother, lieutenant COM
mander. is Jacob John Hunker.
There are many cases of alliterative
names in the list. Commander Charles
Carpenter Cornwell is the senior officer
whose three names. not to speak of his
title, begin with the same letter. In the
army, however, this example OF alliterative
cognomen is beaten by Colonel CarmilIo C.
c. Carr, of the cavalry. Then there are
Lieutenant Commanders Frank Friday
Fletcher and Henry Hubbard Hosley; Lieu
tenants Albert zimmerman Alderman,
William Willmot White Bion- Barnett
Bierer, and Henry Hughes Hough, and
Passed Assistant Surgeon Harold Hamilton
Haas.
In the brief list Of civil engineers there
is a Christopher Columbus and Ulysses

THE -FOUR BENEFICIARIBS
The Operation of the Hanna Ship
Subsidy Bill Analyzed.
Facts Omitted by Mr.. Chamberlain.
Commissioners of NavIgation-Par-
tiaiity of the Measure - Bounties
Not Needed So Much rs Fair Rates
on steel Plates. Says j. j. Hill.

NEW YORK. Jan. 20.-The Tariff Reform
Club has issued the following regarding
the Ship Subsidy bill
By his report for 1900 Mr.. Chamber
lain, United States Commissioner OF Navi-
cation, furnished some data as to what
ships would get subsidy, and how much
each would receive. The situation mean
while has not materially changed. except
in directions that confirm the conclusion
below noted. Though Mr.. Chamberlain s
figures are used, 1t must not be under
stood but that the facts are much more
extreme than he thus admits:
Firstly his previous report, dated
October Is, 1899. at page 81, the Com
missioner himself estimated the subsidy
above noted wiz: Ships of speed fourteen
knots or above) at s., 1872, 1874
Second-The Commissioners estimate
above is made on the basis OF ships in
1899. 1t so happens that in that year
an extraordinary proportion of the YES
sells of such lines as the Pacific Mail, Pa
cific Coast, and Oceanic were chartered
to the Government for transportation
service.
iniru- me united states COMMITS
sioner also omits to count vessels in the
Hawaiian and Porto Rican trade.
'Fourth-In one case. that of the Paris,
his subsidy calculation is put at only some
$50, 600 instead of the s350000 that she
would more ordinarily earn-that ship
having been disabled for the greater part
of the year by grounding.
"Fifth-Most important of all, the Com
missioner has assumed in his estimates
that no more subsidy eligible ships would
engage in the foreign trade, and that those
that are in it would make no more trips
with subsidy than without it. If this were
true it should be fatal to the bill. But,
of course. ii is not true.
The cool greed of the gentleman who
drafted this bill cannot be better illus
trated than by considering, in connection
with the subsidy rates given, the lists Of
eligible steamers in connection with their
ownership.
Il. AS to American Ships-Under the
Senate bill, as reported, the aggregate
subsidy given American vessels is for
6 400 miles round trip (of a 1900 mile
voyage-the most common length.

BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.
General Appropriation Bills 10 he
Considered This Week.

General appropriation bills will be the
feature of this week in the House of Rep
resentatives, the Naval and District of
Columbia bills having been reported and
referred to the Committee of the Whole.
Though the Postal Code bill, which is
continuing order, is under the rule not to
interfere with general appropriation bills,
conference reports. or private bills on
Fridays, it is considered likely that the
consideration OF the Code bill will be con-
tinued without interruption until dis
posed of. Under an order made on Janu-
airy ID bills reported from the Committee
on the District of Columbia would have
the right of way in the House today, sub
ject only to matters called up under sus-
pension of the rules, but II was the I'M
derstanding on Saturday that Mr.. Bah
cock would waive this right in behalf of
the Code bill in charge of Mr.. Loud.
Friday will be given over to the con-
sideration of private pension bills, bills
for the removal OF political disabilities,
and bills removing charges Of desertion.
On Saturday. after 4 o'clock there viii

Other expert economists who have ex-
pressed disapproval of the bill include
those Of Hamilton, Trinity University of
Virginia Bowdoin. Brown, Wellesley, and

1T will be seen" said this Senator yes
terday, that the representative OF the Co
lumbia University characterlZes the
scheme as a steal. Prof MacNane, OF
Harvard. states that the passage of this
bill means the suicide of the Republican
party Altogether there is not enc senti-
ment in favor of the proposed bounty, and
this is very significant to me-
II is further stated that the claims
made in bulletins issued by the subsidy
press bureau to the effect that the labor
organizations OF the country are behind
the bill, are untrue, as il has developed
that every body Of union workingmen of
any size has adopted resolutions condemn
ing the measure. and have instructed their
