NOT MUCH IMPRESSED.

Admiral Melvflle's Comment Regard
ing the Dummy Torpedo Achievement.
Rear Admiral Melville, chief of the bu-
reau of steam engineering Of the navy,
was not very much impressed by the report
that a French submarine boat had success
fully placed a dummy torpedo under big
battle ship while the latter was at anchor.
TT would be possible" said Admiral Mel
vile, "to do just what the report says
was done in this matter, but why should a
battle ship lie at anchor and allow a sub
marine boat to approach her at leisure?
There was nothing shown in the test, and
1t could as easily have been done by row.
boat approaching silently at dark when no
one was on lookout and sending dummy
sailing against the side Of a battle ship.
Why any importance should be attached
to the affair l cannot see. While steaming
at eight or nine knots 1t would not be prac-
ticable, in my opinion, for a submarine
boat to attach a torpedo to the bottom Of
any ship, but 1t might happen that one dis
charged under water from a submarine
boat might be effective An officer of the
navy who would permit torpedo to be at
tached to his vessel either in practice or
during war should be cashiered the SER
vice"

STREET RAILWAY AFFAIRS
PROBABLE IN CASE
OF WASHINGTON TRACTION co.
Receiver Says Such n Course May BE
Adopted Instead of ASSESS
ing Stock.

According to Mr.. Allen L. McDermott.
formerly the president of the Washington
traction and Electric Company, and now
the receiver of that company, the property
OF the corporation, consisting of the Sc
cutlties OF eleven street railroads in this
District and two electric lighting compa-
nies is likely to be sold under foreclosure
proceedings. In conversation with a Star
reporter Mr.. McDermott spoke Of FORE
closure as an incident of a receivership,
but, as he stated, 1t was not an inevitable
incident. He said Of course the receiver
ship could be dissolved without recourse to
foreclosure, but he clearly gave the i'm
preston that. in his opinion at least the
properties would come under the hammer
There Is an alternative which Mr.. Nc
Dermott recognized, and that is an assess
ment on the stock Of the traction company.
This would be necessary to secure the
money required to pay off the floating in
debtedness. 1t is estimated that the lat
ter amounts to about 81 800 600, and in
order to meet that an assessment would
have to 10 made on the s12 600 600 of stock
OF about $15 per share. When the plan of
reorganization and of consolidation under
the law of 1900, first discussed, early in
the present year and before the receiver
was appointed in May, as well as since
that time, the general understanding was
that the floating Indebtedness would be
prOVlded Tor by stock assessment. The
main feature of the plan of reorganiza-
ton. which has not yet been formally
reported by the committee appointed for
that purpose, was to refund the $4,000 900
OF the outstanding Az per cent bonds by an
issue OF % per cent. preferred stock and IS
per cent per cent bonds.
Assessment May Not BE Made.
Mr.. McDermott said today that he be-
lieved such a plan would be reported later
on In the summer. AS he was inclined to
believe that a foreclosure might be re-
sorted to, it is inferred that the feature
OF the plan which contemplated an assess
ment of the stock will not be attempted
AS is well known. the stock is held mainly
by those largely interested in the enter
prise. as, indeed, is the case with the
bonds, but not to the same extent as the
stock.
Mr.. McDermott stated as his belief that
under the reorganization. with the securities
scaled as above indicated, and the roads
consolidated. the earnings of the system
would be sufficient to meet the operating
expenses. as well as the fixed charges the
latter being Interest on the bonds, and, of
course, not dividends on the stock He
spoke hopefully Of the future of the sys-
tenn, and with pleasure Of the progress
that had been made In improving the SER
vice and also in reducing expenses.

ODELL FOR PRESIDENT.
New York State Organization to Il
Unanimous for Him.

New York State Organization to BE
Unanimous for Him.
There Is little doubt here that the New
York republicans are inaugurating
regular movement for the nomination
ly every politician from that state speaks
favorably Of Odell and indicates that the
party organization Of New York will be
idential nomination. This sentiment was
enhanced today by Representatives Sher-
man and O'Grady, who are in WASHINGTON
on business and who called at the Treasury
Department.
Governor Odell is making a splendid rec
ord said Mr.. Sherman, "and the country
will hear from him. New York will be for
him for the republican presidential nominal
ton, and with a continuation of the record
he Is making he can go before the country
with almost a certainty Of winning. Gov
ernor Odell's fine work Is the talk of New
York. He has inaugurated substantial re-
forms-reforms that are not theoretical but
practical and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. that
have produced revenue"
Representative O'Grady indorsed the
Governor Odelfs popularity is not confined
to the cities, but is general. In the agricuI-
tural communities the feeling Is most kind
to the governor, and the farmers are talk
ing of him for President with great earnest
ness"
said that Governor Odell would be renom-
mated for governor by the republicans ana
they predicted his easy election.
All calculation as to Vice President
Roosevelt is apparently overlooked by the
New York organization republicans who
talk as II Mr.. Roosevelt would cut no f1enre
in the republican national convention three
years from now.

MR.. MERRIAM's OBSERVATIONS.
Found Prosperity and the People To,
Busy to Think About Politics.

Mr.. Merriam. director Of the census, who
has Just returned from his home near St.
Paul, was a careful observer while away
from this city of general agricultural and
Industrial conditions.
Everywhere I saw only evidences of the
greatest prosperity among the people said
Mr. Merriam. The wheat crop is mag
nifcent and, with a short crop abroad, we
will have good prices for the farmers.
am told that the Northern Pacific railroad
will have 10 provide from 5000 to 10000
new cars to haul the spring wheat Of the
northwest. Everywhere l visited from here
to St. Paul l saw the wheat in splendid
condition People generally are getting
along. and there is a feeling of great salts
faction among them. Politics is not dis
turbing the people Of the west; they are
too busy to think of such matters"
Mr. Merriam is well pleased with the
progress of operations in the census office,
and is satisfied that the work of the census
provided by law to be completed July 1.
1892 will be finished by that time. The
main statistical information complied by
the bureau will be ready to be laid before
Congress next December. A great effort is
being made to keep the force up to a GER
tain amount of work daily. which is neces-
sary IN order to get through by that time.

FOR IMPROVING THE ARMY
PLANS FOR BETTERING OUR MILL
TARY SYSTEM.
Enlargement of Army POsts-PrOpOsed
Maneuvers of Regulars and
National Guard.

Secretary Root has arranged to combine
pleasure with business as far as possible
during the present summer. Troublesome
questions are constantly arising in connec-
tion with the administration of government
affairs in Cuba and in the Philippines. These
come under the Jurisdiction of the War De-
partment and require the almost constant
presence in Washington of the Secretary Of
War. He has arranged, however, to take
several flying trips to different parts Of the
country, including the summer resort where
the family is staying.
He will leave tomorrow for a short visit
to Fort Monroe. Va. and while there will in
spect the artillery post. Extensive improve
ments are being made at that important
post. Barracks are to be erected for four
companies of coast artillery, and the plant
Is to be otherwise developed. 1t Is expected
that the Secretary will return to Washing
ton Thursday. He will not remain here
long, however, as on Saturday he will start
for tour of the middle west, which will
include a visit to the important military
posts at st. Louis and Fort Riley and Leav
enworth, Kan.
Secretary Root will be accompanied on
his western trip by Gen. Gillespie. chief of
engineers, and Col. Randolph, chief Of ar
tillery.
Education of the officer.
Plans are under consideration at the War
Department for the betterment Of the
American military system, which compre-
hends the higher professional education of
the regular establishment and closer rela-
ton between the army and the National
Guard Of the country. 1t is contemplated
to improve the posts at Leavenworth and
Fort Riley with view to making them the
chief points of rendezvous for the military
and to establish the principal military sup
ply depot at St. Louis 1t is also proposed
to extend the scope and enlarge the facili-
ties of the United States cavalry and in
fantry schools at Forts Riley and Leaven-
worth, respectively, and to make them
practical colleges for graduates Of the Mill
tary Academy.
Proposed Maneuvers.
Nearly $1,OOOOOO will be spent for new
quarters and improvements at the posts
named during the current year. and within
the next two years 1t is hoped to make a
practical start in the ng-cherished scheme
of cooperative maneuvers Of large bodies
of troops, composed of regulars and Ma
tional Guardsmen. By next winter 1t will
be feasible, 1t is hoped, to quarter at least
a regiment at each of these posts, and a
few months later a brigade, or perhaps a
division, can be modified on each Of these
reservations for several months drill and
evolutions under campaigning conditions.
BY another year militia may be called from
various states, and extended field evolutions
by an army corps may contribute to the
higher education of general officers, subor-
dinates and enlisted men.
Secretary Root and Assistant Secretary
Sanger are said to be in hearty sympathy
with the general scheme, and will make an
effort to induce Congress to make liberal
appropriation to carry it into effect.

Shock Was Terrific.
The shock to the passenger coaches was
terrific, and although the occupants were
badly shaken up, no passenger was hurt.
When the front end of the engine plowed

connected from the otner coaches that went
over the embankment and swiTied side

forced down between his knees.
Two mail clerks. when they awoke TO
