GENERAL HOSPITAL
SURGEON GENERAL OREILLY'S
REPRESENTATIONS.
Makes Argument in Annual Report for
Construction of Building in
Washington.

In his annual report to the Secretary OF
War, Surgeon General O'Reilly makes a
strong argument in support of his recon-
mendation for the construction of a new
general hospital for the army in this city.
He says all the hospital and company
buildings of the hospital at Washington
barracks are in poor repair, and that while
the sanitary conditions are fair. they are
entirely inadequate for their purposes.
LAS the work of excavation and construc-
ton for the new engineer post and war
college progresses says Gen. O'Reilly,
more and more encroachment is made on
the hospital grounds, and the hospital be-
comes more and more unsuitable for con-
tinued occupancy. The necessity for new
general hospital site and buildings is there
for more urgent now than ever before.
During the fiscal year $50 cases were
treated in this hospital. of which 265 were
medical, 119 venereal and 145 surgical In
the surgical service So of the more import
ant operations were performed, including
y operations for hernia of various kinds
and 10 appendectomies. Besides the death
from a complicati ton developing in a case of
hernia after operation, 2 were recorded
from croupous pneumonia, and each from
carcinoma of tongue, osteosarcoma, right
hip joint: renal cirrhosis carcinoma of rec
tum and accidental poisoning by wood al
cohol.
Purposes to Be Served.
Il repeat most earnestly my previous
recommended ton that a hospital of sufficient
size and perfect in every respect be built
in the District of Columbia for the follow
ing purposes:
First. Treatment of cases needing the
services of specialists, surgical or other OBJ
servauon and treatment of officers inca
pacitated for service prior to their appear
ance before retiring or examining boards.
Second. Training enlisted men of the
hospital corps in nursing and military
duties.
Third. Instruction at the Army Medical
School in military surgery, hospital admin
istration, hospital corps drill and establish
ment of field hospitals.
Fourth. To serve as a nucleus around
which in time of war. temporary wards
may pe erected without delay to any ex-
tent and al minimum expense
Sketch plans have been completed for
such hospital, the establishment of which
means so much to the medical department
and the army at large

mental part of a railroad, and the fair
traffic. while of course it pays, yet in
the totaling up of accounts at the close
OF the year a large increase on this
account will not be noticed, while fur
Their from the fair the roads will scarce
ly notice a change on account of the
exposition, and a falling of III their
earnings is very apparent by the way
they are retrenching."
Railroad officials do not say much
concerning the present slackneSs and
give out few details. but the way that
all the big roads are shutting down on
extra improvements and cutting off
the pay roll is sufficient evidence that
business is dull. Until the past few
months railroad business has been on
a steady increase, thousands of extra
men employed and extensive improve
ments were made. but at the first sign
of a relapse in business the roads were
compelled to lessen their expenses.
The condition is largely due" the
railroad man said. Ito this being presi-
Dental year, and it will probably re-
main as it is. at least until it is known
what the policy of the government will
be for the next four years"
1t has often been said, LAS go the
railroads of the country, SO also goes
the trend of general business" They
are a good barometer of business; in
fact. there is none better. When the
farmers crops are good and they have
use for freight cars in shipping them,
they will also patroniZe the passenger
department and take trip somewhere
But as the railroads are the first to
| feel the effects of dull times, SO they
are also the first to recover from them
and before long they will probably re
turn to their former plans and i'm
iprovements. Speaking of this, the 10
cal railroad official said: MANY man
ayers are hoping that something viii
happen pretty soon to turn the tide So
they may be able to reinstate the work
men they were obliged to cut off awhile
ago"

fair has always been a favorite one
with Rock Island people, but it ought to
attract more of them than it does. But
in addition to the attendance there
ought to be a large exhibit by city
merchants There is not a line but
that could have an attractive display.
There has been lack of display in the
halls at the fair and this lack can be
properly supplied from this city. A

NEED F0R ACTION.

People are slow to learn. Big fires before the Baltimore fire have called attention to the need of a universal coupler for hose. The Baltimore Amer ican has this to say about the matter: It is stated that there is no standard gauge in use in the country, the cities using any size coupling the local au- thorities may select, no two cities de- ciding on the same size. If the New York firemen who came to our help had not brought their own hose along they could have done little or nothing. AS cities are now obliged to call upon one another for help in such emergencies as that of our own great fire. it is urged that universal coupler be adopted by the fire departments of the country, so that any loss of relief from this reason may be eliminated from the question. Had the apparatus of the New York men been rendered useless by the difference in size of the couplings of the two departments it is impossible to tell what the result would have been, as the work of the New Workers practi- cally saved East Baltimore from de- struction. As the emergency which arose in this city might arise in any other at any time, the subject ought to receive prompt inter-municipal at tention and the various departments adopt the universal coupler advised by experts and practical fre-fghters.
 It is not at all likely that the sub ject will promptly receive the attention it ought to, but it is to be hoped that | it will receive attention sometime.
