WHAT ANNAPOLIS LOSES
BY CANDIDATES FOR THE NAVAL
ACADEMY
Being Examined In Studies Elsewhere
Recommendations of The Academic
Board to Secretary of Navy
Not Yet Approved.

Not Yet Approved.
The candidates for the Naval Academy
have been a source of interest and emo
lument to the citizens of Annapolis. both
as to boaTders and solourneTs, prepar.
atory TO their examination at the Naval
Academy. The candidate. in more or
less numbers, is always with us.
Even during the heated season, as is
now the case, the backward and the dill.
gent remain here, and, in their high at.
tics. burn the midnight oil with an indus.
try and patience that are rewarded, gen.
ally, in the succeeding September with a
successful examination for admission to
the Naval Academy. When the May
and September examinations approach
the city is alive with scores of anxious
candidates, who come here for the final
coaching" to appear before the aca-
demic board of the Naval Academy.
These schools are remarkably success :
full. Ii is said that one capable instructor
here will ENSURE" a candidates passage
of the ordeal of examination. Should
the recommendations OF the academic
board, which is approved by Secretary
Long, to allow examinations in different
eral corollaries will follow. the work OF
the academic board will be lessened, the
fees of private instructors diminished, the
butcher, the baker and candlestick.maker
in this city will have their revenues mini
mized. Other results are contingent
whether the high standard of entrance
qualifications will be maintained, and the
admissions. of which they are now entire
ly free, open to the suspicion of favorit-
ism that now characterizes some of civil
service commissions.
Then. if the candidate is required to
reach the current excellent standard of
admission, the loss OF the preparation OF
the naval preparatory schools would be
his irreparable loss. A better method
could be found in giving each appointee
six months gratuitous preparation for
their entrance.

Boise Ida, July 25.-The contest for the

DISCOVERY OF PROF.
KOCH IS DISCUSSED
Criticisms Made at tuberculosis
Congress in London.
DOCTORS NOT CONVINCED
BELIEVE RIGID INSPECTIONS OF
MEATS SHOULD CONTINUE.
DOCTORS NOT CONVINCED

London, July 25.-Presiding at this
afternoons session of the British con-
gress Of tuberculosis, Earl Spencer
chancellor of the Victoria university
and a vice president of the congress,
severely criticized Dr. Robert Koch :
theory to the effect that human beings
were immune from cOntagiOn from tu-
bercUlOsis cattle. Earl Spencer said ne
hoped this was true, but that he hoped
more that the dissemination of such
views would not tend to cause Iaxity on
the part of the dairymen and cattle
owners, or less vigilance by the author
tiles charged with protecting the con-
sUmers of milk. The speaker. earnestly
trusted the congress would not endorse
the view that it was unnecessary to
take measures to prevent the transmits
sion of tuberculosis from animals to
humans.
Professor John Mac Fadycan of the
Royal Veterinary college read a paper
on tubercole baicilli in milk as a source
OF tuberculosis in man. He said that
until DR.. Koch had declared himself in
this connection to the contrary, it was
supposed to have been fully proven that
human and bovine tuberculosis were
identical diseases
Professor Mac Fadycan discussed the
grounds on which DR. Koch based his
Z
not we'll founded, or had little bearing
upon the question, and he submitted
arguments to prove that the strongest
grounds remained for regarding milk
from tuberculosis cows as distinctly
dangerous to human beings
DR.. RaveneI of Philadelphia gave an
instance of the infection of ten pOisons
from tuberculosis cattle, but said he
considered such instances to be rare.
James King, veterinary inspector
of London, who spoke before the con-
gress, attributed the large increase in
the imported meat trade to the rigid
inspection of home killed cattle and
said a meat salesman assured him that
the losses from condemned carcasses
were so great that the British dealers
were forced to buy imported meat. Mr..
Wing dissented fatty from DR. Koch
belief in the nOn-transmission of bovine
tuberculosis to humans and urged the
adoption Of stringent measures in this
respect to insure the healthfulness of
imported carcasseS. He also urged a
government compensation for cattle de-
strOyed under its orders, in order TO
thoroughly stamp out tuberculosis from
British herds. where. he declared, il
was alarmingly prevalent.

Topeka. Kan, July 25.-The tempera-

averaging about leo for the entire state.
However, not the least relief has been
experienced in the droutb- The atmos-
phere has been very humid and Iumer-
GUS prosrrations are reported from va
rious parts of the state.
The corn crop is ia a worse condition
than ever. and it viii be a surprising
thing if One-third Of a crop is obtained.
Many of the farmers are cutting il for
fodder. If IL were not for the fact that
there are many thousands of bushels Of
last years corn in the state, the out
look for the stOckmen would be serious.
At the best. il is rot at all encouraging.
Now that the corn crop is entirely
blasted, the people of the state have
stopped considering that part of the
drouth situation and are CevOting their
attention to obtaining water to drink
Some towns are IN serious straits.

pie Of many localities viii do for water

SUGAR MEN RETURN.

Manager T. r. Cutler of the Lehi su-
gar factory, and c. A. Granger, man
ager of the proposed Greeley CColo)
factory, were in the city yesterday Mr..
Granger is here to superintend the
building Of the new factory at Logan,
and states that the material needed
from the east is very slow in arriving.
Both he and Mr. Cutler are highly
pleased at the outlook at Greeley. They
were there and looked over the ground
and are confident that a large crop OF
beets will be raised and converted into
sugar next year. Already 1000 acres of
beets have been contracted for. and
this may be increased to 5000.
In discussing the outlook in Utah. Mr..
Cutter stated that he felt confident of
raising great crop of beets They
could not look better, and his predic-
ton is that this years output of sugar
VIII throw every previous years yield
far into the rear. He processes to be
undisturbed at the rate cutting between
the cane and beet sugar men on the
coast, and is OF the opinion that the diff
ficulty viii all be settled before the
Utah crop is ready for the market
