IMPROVEMENTS At NANTES.
Construction of 81 Sewerage system


Consul Britain. at Nantes. has made
report TO the State Department in regard
to the sewer system in Nantes in which
he says:
The Improvement of the sanitary cond!
tion of Nantes has been discussed by the
council and citizens for the past ten years
AT present, water is taken from the River
Loire. along the banks Of which are numer-
Gus manufacturing establishments. Ac-
cording TO recently published report less
than half the city is properly severed. The
sewage from many of the buildings passes
into cesspools, which are emptied from time
to time, but their contents contaminate the
subsoil. Some years ago a MarseiIles COM
pany agreed to construct a system of sew
ers throughout the city for So, $50 900, but
the offer was rejected as too expensive, and
the city council agreed TO do the work,
which has been commenced. The main col
lector viii pass through the city along the
right bank of the Loire, and it's dimensions
will be 500 by 511S inches. There will be
four secondary collectors, 1874 by 80 81
inches in diameter. The materials used in
construction will be stone and brick, laid in
cement The combined length of the CITY
streets which should be severed is about
sixty-two miles, and there are twenty-five
miles of old sewers. The city will soon in
clude within Its limits the suburbs of Dulon
and Chantenay, which will give il a popu-
latiou Of about 20o.o00."

Does Not Intimate What Steps He

UNAUTHORIZED STATEMENTS
Within His Rights to Ask for a

THE RETIREMENT QUESTION

Lieut.. Gen. Miles returned to the city last
evening from New York. where he went to
attend the annual dinner of the New Eng
land Society. In order to avoid further con-
troversy on the subject. the general declines
to make any comment in regard to the rep
rimand given him by the Secretary of War,
by direction of the President. for his public
comments on the report of the SCAley court
Of inquiry. Nor would he so much as even
Intimate what further steps, if any, he
would take in the matter. His manner,
however, showed clearly that he felt keenly
the stigma cast upon his record by the Sc
we're rebuke administered by direction OF
the President. About all he would say on
the subject was that the published state
ment that he would ask for court of in
quiry to investigate the matter was unau-
thorized.
Court of Inquiry.
1t was stated at the War Department that
it was clearly within the rights of an Of
ficer to ask for a court of inquiry to clear
his record of what he re garded as unjust
charges but that such application might
properly be rejected by the President with
in his discretion. The right of rejection in
such cases is rarely, if ever. exercised, how
ever. except to Indicate that the authorities
do not consider the case of sumciCnt graV-
ity or Importance to justify official investi-
cation. In the words of an officer of the
judge advocate generals department, the
denial of an application for a court of in
quiry is equivalent to Official declara-
tion of the officers exoneration Of the
charges in question
The Retirement Question.
The impression is general in military cir
, cIes that if Gen. Miles should attempt to
make an issue with the President in this
matter he would be compulsorily retired
under the statute authorizing such action
in the case of an officer over sixty-two
years of age, and that another general Of
ficer, either Gen Brooke, Gen. Otis. Gen
Young, Gen. Macarthur or Gen. Corbin. all
of whom are eligible. would be placed in
command of the army. Gems. Brooke and
Otis are near retirement on account of age,
so that in the event of vacancy the selec-
tiOn would probably fail upon one of the
other officers named.
