THREE YEARS AT ACADEMY.
Midshipmen viii Spend the Rest Of
the Course at Sea.

The order recently issued by the Navy
Department. decreasing the academic course
at the Naval Academy from four to three
years, beginning with the present third
class, which will graduate in June, 1904,
does not reduce the statutory length OF
service of a mdshipman. By law the course
of instruction of a MILDLY is six years. two
years of which have heretofore been spent
at sea. The new order contemplates a
three years course at the academy and
three years at sea. For several years the
question of commissioning midshipmen as
ensigns at the end Of their academic course
has been under discussion, but thus far
without ISSUE
The reduction in the length Of the course
at the academy has been made necessary by
the urgent demand for officers to command
the constantly increasing number of ships
going into commission, and this led to the
decision some time ago to graduate the
present first class at the academy in Feb
ruary, 1903, and the present second class In
February, 1904. In the latter year, therefore
two full classes will be graduated one in
February and one in June. The shortening
of the academic course has resulted In
considerable Encouragement of the currtcu-
lum for the purpose Of crowding the ad-
vanced studies into a three-year course.

Origin Of the Typhoid Fever.

To the Editor OF The Evening star:
1 noticed in the press the statements that
typhoid fever is largely if not generally
acquired at the summer resorts, and Is
developed on the return to the cities. This
statement was repeatedly made by our local
papers just prior to the G. A R. encamp-
ment, doubtless for the purpose of prevent
ing the fear of many that it was dangerous
to attend because of the idea that the dis
ease was unusually prevalent here. I see
that the same idea is expressed by the At
lanta Journal, and other papers also. This,
if true, is important, and whether true or
not ought to be, and can be, easily ascer-
tained for the public good. If the Medical
Society would instruct or request its mem
bers to ascertain whether their patients
spent the summer at a summer resort or
not. and if so, where, it would settle the
question The Information could be eadily
obtained in every case by inquiry of the
family or friends of the patient, and no one
could object to giving the information
BY that means the question would be Set
tied as to whether the disease was acquired
at home or at the summer resort, and that
Is important for us to know. Another bene-
fit to our citizens and to the public at large
would be to show which of the summer re-
sorts was deficient in the requisite san tary
arrangements, and should be avoided. If
that were done, and the facts made known,
as Of course they would be, it would great
ly stimulate the residents and officials of
the offending resorts to adopt the necessary
sanitary improvements, which would be of
lasting benefit both to the permanent resi-
dents and their summer visitors There can
be no question that II the medical frater-
nifty Of the country would adopt this sug-
gestion and act upon 1t in all cases OF
typhoid It would save many lives and result
in great public benefit, for Of course as soon
as it was ascertained which of the summer
resorts were productive of typhoid the pub
lie would avoid those places.

Was Sent Back to His Home.

A colored man named William Harris,
forty-two years Of age, arrived at the Bal
timore and Ohio station yesterday morning.
He was Ill and was taken in charge by the
police. who conveyed him to the Office of
the board Of charities, at the District build
ing. The man came from Pennington, w.
Va. and brought with him a certificate
from doctor to the effect that he was
suffering from consumption. When ques-
toned the man said several citizens of
Pennington had taken up a collection to
send him to Washington, expecting him to
be received In some institution here and
cared for. The authorities bought a ticket
to Flemfngton, placed the man on a train
and sent him home. He was born in West
Virginia and lived there all his life
The board took the view that the man
could not be supported at the expense of
the District. His case was a chronic one
and 1t was said he should be cared for In
some home institution. There Is a general
disposition In small towns near large cities
to send Daupers and incurables to the cities
for care and treatment at public expense.

INVESTIGATION ORDERED.
requests for Contributions in Penn

Requests for Contributions in Penn
sylvania to Be Looked Into.
The Department Of Justice has directed
the United States attorney at Philadelphia
to make most rigid investigation Of the
facts in connection with the sending out by
the Pennsylvania state republican commit
tee Of circulars asking federal Office hold
ers for campaign contributions. AS Senator
Quay's name was signed to the circular he
is involved in the investigation, which may
result in a prosecution Of the Pennsylvania
senator for violation Of civil service laws
District Attorney Holland Of Philadelphia
has begun the investigation. He has teen
furnished with the names Of a number of
federal officials who received the 'dunning'
circulars and Will talk with each one Of
them. The district attorney Is to report the
case to the Department OF Justice. which
will determine whether sufficient evid 2nce
has been procured to Justify prosecutions
against Senator Quay and others. Exactly
what are the intentions of the department
ca mot be learned, as Attorney General
Knox and most of his assistants are out Of
the city. Mr.. Beck, assistant attorney gen.
eral and Solicitor General Richards are
among those absent.
In case of an attempt to secure an indct-
ment against Senator Quay, his position
would undoubtedly be that the circular was
not one asking for contributions but
mere notification that funds would be re-
ceived from all who desired to contribute.
An attempt was made about year ago to
obtain an indictment against Representative
Dick. state chairman Of Ohio for an exactly
similar affair, but the grand jury declined
to regard his action an offense against
the civil service laws, and did not return
true bill.
The action of the Department of Justice
was taken after consultation with the Pres
ident. Attorney General Knox discussed
the case several times with the President
after the circulars had been securl d, and
it was determined to make a most thor
ough investigation. prosecution to depend
on the results of the investigation.

MEDICAL SCHOOL OPENS.
Glasses Formed Of Persons Belonging
to the Navy.

The Naval Medical School was opened to-
day in the presence Of number OF distin-
guished persons ami the entire faculty.
The exercises consisted of an Introductory
lecture to the class by Medical Director
r. A. Marmion. United States navy, presi-
dent of the faculty. giving the history of
previous attempts to establish a school, the
necessities therefor and the scope OF its
projected work. Remarks were made to
the class, also, by ex-Surgeon Generals
Gunnell and Van Reypen, and also by DR..
s. S. Adams, president of the Medical So
cety of the District of Columbia, which he
concluded by an offer, in behalf of that So
ciety. Of the privileges of their meetings.
This school is essentially postgraduate
in its nature and starts its instruction with
the assumption that It's students have re-
ceived a thorough training In the general
principles of the chief medical branches.
While celebrating certain parts Of the med
ical training already received, new matter
Is added In the shape Of details Of life ard
duty in the service not obtainaole from
other sources.
AS it's name implies. its work is confined
entirely to persons already belonging to the
navy, and 1t begins its work with class Of
twelve assistant surgeons recently appoint
ed. Its course Of instruction will cover
period of five months and, as before init
mated, will be essentially practical in its
nature.
The following is the list Of subjects to be
lectured upon. and Of the names Of the
faculty: Hygiene (of ship, camp and hos
pitaD and Quarantine. will be lectured upon
by Medical Director r. A. Marmion; Duties
of Medical Officers, by Medical Inspector
John c. Boyd; Military Diseases and Trop-
ical Medicine, by Surgeon John w. Ross;
Military Surgery, by Surgeon A. c. H.
Russell. On this course the Hospital
Corps drill is included); Bacteriology and
Chemistry. by Surgeon E. r. Stitt; OPP
Technology, by Passed Assistant Surgeon
T. D. Myers: Instructions in Signals.
Manual Of the Sword and Extracts From
Tactics, by an officer not yet designated;
Naval Law, by Mr.. E. P. Hanna, solicitor
of the Navy Department.
The school occupies a portion Of the
buildings, formerly used as the naval OBJ
servatory, which have been remodeled in
order to adapt them to the requirements OF
the new work just undertaken.

LONDON KILOGRAMS.
New Scheme of Intercommunication
Between Metropolitan Offices.

From the London Chronicle.
A new and important arrangement for
the transmission Of kilograms in the metro
politan area, which embraces the whole Of
Greater London, will shortly come into op-
Grafton at the central telegraph office.
Hitherto it has been impossible for one
outlying Office within the metropolitan area
to communicate direct with any other out
lying office, no matter how long or short
the distance, and no two offices had suff1-
Client interchange of kilograms to justify
an exclusive wire being maintained between
them. The system now being gradually in
troduced owes it's inception to Mr.. J. c.
Lamb, the second secretary of the post
Office, who for long time has been at the
head Of the telegraphic department. 1t is
combination of an improved telephone
switchboard and service signals, with the
existing Morse telegraphs- A few years
ago Mr.. Lamb saw something of the kind
working in Belgium; in fact even in Eng
land the switching Of smaller offices onto
main lines was in force when the govern
ment took over the telegraphs in 1870 but
as the traffic grew it was found to be too
cumbersome and was therefore abolished.
Recently Mr.. Gavey, engineer-in- chief and
Mr.. fireman, now controller at the central
telegraph office. accompanied by Mr.. Pur-
Wis Of the engineer-in-chief's department,
made careful inquiries on the spot as to the
possibilities of the Belgian system.
At present all messages from one part of
London to another have to be retransmitted
at the central telegraph office. Under the
new system this complicated work and con-
sequent delay will be avoided. Each tele-
graph office in the metropolitan area will
have number. If an office, say at Isling-
ton, has a message for Chaplain the oper-
ator at Islington will touch a special indi-
Gator key, on the top of which a white star
will Immediately appear. The touching of
the key also lights small glow lamp under
Islington's number the switchboard at
the central telegraph Office. The operator
at the switchboard inserts plug so as to
connect with Islington, and that actuates
the Indicator key and the white star disap-
pears, thus informing the operator at Is
lington that his call is being answered
Then he replies by telegraphing the num-
Der of the Chaplain office, and the central
operator. by switching on in the ordinary
way connects Islington with Chaplain, and
the message Is thereupon transmitted direct
from one Office to the other. When the
message has been transmittd both offices
depress their Indicator key. which lights
clearing lamp at the central Office, when
the operator at once disconnects.
1t Is intended to introduce this system
gradually, and for the present only 1873
offices, or about ope-Quarter Of the total
In the metropolitan area, are being includ-
ed In the experiment. The whole system, 1t
may be mentioned, will be worked by one
set of accumulation batteries at the central
office.
