" ? ASHINGTON is well repre-
I" scented at Annapolis and
West Point by embryonic
warriors who are receiving instruction in
the ancient and honorable art OF the
destruction of mankind. II several of
them live up to the regulations already
established by their fathers the day
viii come when Washington City will
be raising monuments TO the everlasting
glory of her own native sons.
Many young men spend most Of their
youth in Washington and go TO one or
the other OF Uncle Sans military schools
from here, but. FOR the most part. they
are born in other places and receive
their appointments from the different
States Just now. however, there are
several young men at the two schools
who were born here in the city and who
received their appointments at large or
were appointed from the District of
Columbia.
0ld-Time Penalty RENTED.
Time was when. according to the time
honored customs OF the two schools,
that whose name soever appeared in
print, the bearer thereof was compelled
TO suffer a severe penalty for his fame
and its spreading abroad. Whenever the
name of a cadet was seen in a paper,
accompanied by words and paragraphs,
complimentary or otherwise. that cadet
was summoned TO appear before upper
classmen. He was given a copy OF the
article and made to commit it to mem
CRY. When this was accomplished the
offender. for such he was termed by the
upper classmen, reported to those above
him and repeated word for word those
things which the innocent newspaper
had said Of him.
II his manner and mode Of reciting
did not meet with the approval OF his
audience. he was thoroughly coached
and drilled in his part until he could
perform It with smooth perfection Then
he was allowed TO repeat it early and
often for the edihcstion OF any and all
upper classmen who wished to hear.
Since the abolition of hazing. how
ever. this custom has been dropped.
Therefore The Times feels at liberty to
make mention OF the modest Washing
ton youths who are pursuing the tenor
OF their way toward military fame.
Eight Men at Two Institutions.
There are now four men at West
Point and the same number at Annapo-
lis who were born in Washington.
Those 1T west Point are a Sherman
Miles. I. B. Magruder, Carlos J. stol-
brand. of the second class. and Truman
d. Thorpe, of the third class.
OF these young Magruder Is the only
one who was appointed from the Dis
trict OF Columbia. General Miles son
was appointed at large; stolbrand was
appointed from New York. and Thorpe
was appointed from California.
The young washingtonians at the Ma !
val Academy were all appointed from |
the District Of Columbia All but one
belong to the fourth class. They are
Duncan Ingraham selfridge. of the sec
end class. and George Mccall Courts.
Richard somers Galloway, and Ralph
Earle Sampson. pr the fourth class.

he has done and is doing.

fourth class man, Is the son OF Ifeuten-
ant Galloway, a retired naval ofdcer.

for example. while 10000 gallons OF water
per minute are flowing through the
mains; this amount OF water is equiva-
lent TO thirty strong fire streams through

feet greater.
Stream $50 Feet High.
For instance. II two lines OF 21z-inch
hose, each 400 feet long. were siamesed
into one line near the play pipe and a
1A-inch smooth nozzle used at street
level, a head OF s57 Feet at the hydrant
would project a stream. OF 456 gallons
per minute to an extreme height OF $50
feet. or a good effective fire stream TO
a height Of 100 feet.
II single line OF 2z-inch hose 500 feet
long We're carried 10 the top OF a 200
FOOT building, the pressure would be suf-
hcient to deliver at that height a vol
ume OF $50 gallons per minute through
lA-inch nozzles. The pressure on Penn
a farther height Of 40 feet; or, II needed,
thirty such lines would deliver each an
equal amount.

The high-pressure fire service seems
10 give general satisfaction to all con-
cerned.
The insurance rates have been re-
duced per cent within the district
which II is intended to protect and
an authority in regard TO insurance
mas estimated that the holders Of
policies within the district will save
IN ten years. owing to smaller
premiums being paid. an amount
which will exceed the total cost of the
entire system. During a large fire last

fire commissioners and others. the sys-
tenn practically paid for itself. as the

building In which it originated by the

LAS partial offset to the cost of con-
struction would be the saving to the
IRE department in the matter OF APP

with in the high-pressure districts. thus
saving first cost and maintenance
charges. and incidentally leaving more
fire.

Even II the high-pressure service be

a few years TO lay new main from the
pumping station to Reno Reservoir at
an estimated cost OF 500. 600. This
amount also should be considered as a
partial offset TO the first cost OF the
system
The decreased fire risk and conse-
quent reduction in insurance rates alone
would. in my opinion. fully justify the
expenditure necessary TO secure these
results
In safety from accidental derange-
ment the system would be much better
than that now IN use as the trunk line

ScHwAB SAILS FOR EUROPE.
Left Yesterday Under the Advice of Hi.
 Physician.

New York, Feb. 11.-Charles M. Schwab sailed to-day for France on the steamship Lorraine. Upon inquiry at his office it was stated that it had been MT. Schwabs intention for many weeks to go to Europe for his health. under the advice of his physician; that it was nearly one year ago since MT. Schwab had returned from Europe not at all recovered in health, and with the deter imitation then avowed of withdrawing for the time being from business re- responsibilities, but that since his return, for one cause or another, he had been under constant tsrain, which rendered it imperative that he should not delay in complying with the advice of hs phy- sican.
 It was pointed out that MT. Schwab had refused to absent himself so long as the United States Shipbuilding liti- cations might require his presence, but that in view of the modification of the reorganization plan of the company, of the entry of the final decree on Tues day by Judge Kirkpatrick, and the con- solidation of the foreclosure proceed ings, he had felt at liberty to take the much-needed rest.
 Before the steamship sailed MT. Schwab said:
 T made up my mind to go abroad some weeks ago, but it was not until yesterday that I determined to go to- day. I read of the sailing of La Lor- raine in the paper and hurriedly pack ed, and here I am I will be abroad for five weeks and will spend but a few days in Paris. I intend to spend most of my time in the south of France
 MT. Schwab said that he was tired of the Shipbuilding company's affairs and did not care to discuss them.

FRANCE AND THE CANAL.
Debate on Interpeiiation in Chamber
 Postponed.

Paris, Feb 1.-The Panama question came up in the chamber of deputies to- day.
 The president of the chamber. M. Brisson, submitted the interpolation of M Ferrette, nationalist, asking what measures the government proposed to adopt against the peril of the cession of the canal to a foreign government"
 Premier Combes requested that the debate be postponed to the bottom of the lost of all matters now pending.
 M Ferrette declared that S00000 French holders of obligations were anx- iously waiting to know the govern nent's course.
 M. Cornbes replied: IT would like to know what minister could be expected to answer such an interpolation The funds of the Panama Canal company are private funds. Therefore it is not for the ministers to answer such ques- tions.''
 By a vote of 300 to 252 M. Combes' mo- tion to postpone the discussion of M. Ferrettes interpolation until after all others on the list was adoDed.
 The premier's declaration was consid- cred as expressing the governments in- tention not to be drawn into the contro- versy.

NEAR EAST SITUATION.
Roumania Sounded as to Her Attitude
 in Case of Trouble.

in Case of Trouble.
 Bucharest, Roumania, Feb. 11.-It is reported here that Premier Stourdza has been sounded by the Austro-Hun- garian and Russian governments as to whether in the event of the Macedonia movement assuming serious propor- tions in the spring Roumania would ac- cept mandate from the European powers to occupy Bulgaria with troops.
 Vienna, Feb. 1.-The Politische Kor- respondenz, semi-official newspaper, to-day publishes a communication from Constantinople saying that in Turkish governmental circles the conviction ob- tains that the present situation in the far east renders was in Bulgaria inevit- able. In view of this condition of af- fairs it is considered unnecessary that the port should burden itself with the serious obligations involved in carrying out the principal measures of the re- form plans for Macedonia.
 Commenting upon this statement the Politische Korrespondenz says the fact that such an opinion prevails merits the most earnest attention of the interested powers.

It will be used as a childrens playground.
 The following vote was also passed:
 Whereas the New Haven Water com pany has generously given to the city of New Haven for an addition to West Rock park, a picturesque tract of land and water at the foot of West rock con- taining about two acres, which will add materially to the beauty and resources of said park;

These will be joined en route by automobilists from other cities, thus forming a procession that will be a continuous march to the worlds fair city.
 Cleveland, O., is to be made the grand rallying point where the pageant of eastern and southern clubs will merge and continue their journey.
 Milwaukee and other cities in the northwest will send clubs to join the customers and southerners in Chicago.
 The tour is not to be race or. an en- durance run. Ft is planned purely for the pleasure of the club members. There will be no rules or regulations govern ing speed, repairs or stops.

SERIOUS CoAsTING AOoIDENT.

Three stamford Young Men InJured, One Probably Fatally. Stamford, Feb. n.-A coasting acci-
 dent on Richmond hill tonight resulted
 in serious injury to James Delaney and
 Joseph Gates and probably fatal in jury to Daniel O'Mara.
 The three young men were coasting
 down the hill when from a side street came a horse and carriage driven by
 George Murphy The bob-sled crashed into the horse and carriage with terrific force. O'Mara was picked up uncon- scious, suffering from a severe fracture
 Of the skull. Delaney and Gates were badly cut and bruised from head to fleet The three injured young men were removed to the Stamford hospital.
 OMara's chances for recovery are con sidered slim.
