PRACTICALLY FINISHED.
Double Tracking Of Electric Road
From st. Asaph's to Lloyds.

The double tracking of the Washington
Alexandria and Mount Vernon railway has
been practically completed from ST. Asaph
to Lloyds station, a distance of about
mile, and the work the track from
Lloyds to Alexandria is being rushed rap
idly toward completion. Superintendent
Colvin states that the new double track will
be completed and in service by June /.
1t was intended to use each section of the
new track as 1t was finished, but as it is
needed by the work trains in hauling bal
last and material for the part of the work
under construction, it has been determined
by the railway officials not to use the new
track until it is all ready for service.
The Mount Vernon Railway Company has
three of it's new motors in service and the
fourth is now being wired and filed out at
Four Mile Run. 1t will go into commission
this week hauling trains between Alexan-
dria and Washington. With the double
track completed and the new cars in SER
vice, the railway company will increase the
number of trains between this city and AL
eXandria and the new schedule is now be-
ing arranged. These additional trains will
be put in service early in the coming
month

TO OMIT THE BLOUSE.
Gen. Story Would Aid Men Engaged
in Hard Manual Labor.

In view of the peculiar work required OF
enlisted men attached to mountain bat
teries, Cen Story, the chief of artillery,
has recommended that these men be per-
mitted to dispense with part of the regula-
ton uniform when engaged in lifting
weights or in other hard manual labor, and
to wear the blue shirts without the outer
blouse. 1t is explained that it is difficult
to perform the services required If hamp-
cred by much clothing, and it Is therefore
suggested that the blouse be dispensed with
under such circumstances. The matter is
now before the general staff.
There are but four of these mountain bat
teries in the army, two of them stationed
at Vancouver barracks, Washington, and
the other two in the Philippines.

Sale of British Passports.

A cablegram from London last night says:
The solicitor general will appear in the
Bow street police court today in a treas
ury prosecution arising from an alleged
misuse of British passports.
The authorities have been aware for some
time that passports obtained in England
were used improperly to secure the admis-
sion into Russia of political propagandists
WHO had no right to British passports.
When a man recently killed himself in a
st. Petersburg hotel by carelessly handling
a bomb, he was described as having been
a British subject. He possessed perfectly
correct passport that had been issued in
London.
Arising from this affair, which revealed
a considerable conspiracy, discoveries were
made on which the authorities are proceed

Yearly Deficits.

President Eliot in his recent report to the
board of overseers pointed out that in the
year 19O2-03 there was deficit of $40, 403 OF
and in the year 10000 a deficit of
$50 1896 in the income of the university.
To avoid repetition the salary list was
reduced for 1904-05; but, notwithstanding
that fact, unforeseen necessities have arisen
which will cause another deficit during the
current year. President Eliot says: The
worst evil connected with this condition of
things has been the loss of certain valued
instructors, who, being offered higher titles
and higher pay at other institutions than
Harvard College could afford to give them
much against their inclinations felt com
PEELED to accept these higher offers. 1t is
much to be deplored that Harvard Univer-
sity should be unable to retain the services
of scholars who have demonstrated their
capacity both for teaching and inyestiga-
tion for the prestige of the university can
not be maintained II 1t Is liable to such
losses.
THE recurrence of annual deficits which
have occurred seven times within the last
nine years to considerable amounts, could,
of course be provided against by raising
the tuition fee for Harvard College and
Lawrence Scientific School by some small
amount like SO or 80, but this device
would not provide for the real needs of
the college. 1t is time that the salaries
of the college, from bottom to top of the
scale should be moderately advanced to
meet the increasing Cost OI nOuSeHolu COiii-
fort of education for children and of suit
able recreations, and that the corporation
should be provided with the means of Great
ing new places, occasion, for young
men of decided capacity, who may be in
vited elsewhere.
Larger Endowment Needed.
at is larger endowment that Harvard
needs, and for the present the right to
raise the tuition fee ought to be held In re-
serve. The board of overseers has lately
expressed this opinion in two votes cast on
December IA, 1904:
Il. That is is the sense of this board that
salaries of professors and instructors should
be maintained and that the customary and
expected increases in salary be paid in
every instance. irrespective of any other
economies.
~, That 1t is the sense of this board that
! il is not expedient at the present time TO
| raise the tuition fee of Harvard College.
'rrhe best fofm witch the new endow-
nent could take would be the permanent

Deputy Controller of the Currency I. P.

The controller of the currency" he
said "at the request of Commissioner Mac

AT a recent conference of the Dist riot

seemed to be in favor of placing these
