CONTROL OF CITY RAILWAYS
CONGRESS ASKED TO EXTEND
POWER OF COMMISSIONERS.
Bill to Be Presented at Coming Ses.
sion-Some of It's Pro-
visions.

The Commissioners at the next session
of Congress will renew their efforts to
Sc cure legislation giving them supervision
of the local street railway companies,
with which authority they can promul-
gate regulations governing the operation
of the two local companies This legis-
lation was presented last year, but failed
Of passage. At the Northeast Citizens
Association meeting last night the lack
Of accommodations furnished by the local
companies was criticised and the urgent
need of legislation to remedy these condi-
tons was discussed.
When asked what the Commissioners
will likely do in this matter at the coming
session Of Congress, Commissioner Mac
farland. as president Of the board of Com
missioners, made the following statement
today:
THE Commissioners will present to
Congress at the coming session a bill on
the lines of those which they have pre-
scented In recent Congresses. giving them
supervisory control of street railway
schedules and transfers and other street
railway questions.
Regarded as Desirable.
Municipal regulation of street railway
operation is now admitted to be desirable
as an alternative to municipal ownership
Of such public utilities. In principle 1t is
embodied in existing legislation, which is
rendered ineffective by lack of suitable
penalties. No argument has been raise
against the proposition to make effective
legislation on the subject, except the
statement that the Commissioners are toe
busy and too little acquainted with the
details of street railway management to
personally conduct such regulation. This
argument does not appeal to me, for the
amount OF work involved would not be too
great. nor would its character be any
more complex or technical than that OF
questions upon which the Commissioners
pass constantly.
Mode of Settlement.
"A comparatively small number of de-
cisions made as they would be after
full hearing to all concerned. and rea-
sonable as they would have to be under
the law, which the courts would scru-
tinize, would settle for long time all the
appeals which have been made to the
Commissioners for better street railway
service. But. II necessary, 1 am in favor
of incorporating in the bill a provision au-
thorizng the Commissioners to secure eX-
pert advice. either by temporary employ
ment of disinterested street railway ex-
perts, theoretical and practical, or by
means Of a permanent commission Of ex-
pert advisers. The main thing is to make
effective, by well-considered legislation.

ton of these public service corporations.

State of Church Encouraging.


Rev. Matthew Brewster of Alabama
presented to the house of deputies most
encouraging report on the state of the
church, in which he said in part:
More priests were ordained during the
last three years than in the preceding tri-
ennium. There are nearly 800 more clergy
than three years ago. including IL bish-
ops; q more postulants for orders and 14S
more lay readers. There are more than
600 more parishes and mission stations,
T93 more churches. 231 more rectories,
1855 more baptisms, 15,4G0 more confir-
nations and 67,4S1 more communicates.

religious charities and educatio an in
crease of nearly 100000 for extra do
cesar objects, and an increase of more

There is nearly 3.50O.O00 invested for
the episcopal fund. which exceeds the
sum last reported by nearly $500, 900.
There is $3.50, $50 invested for the sup
port of parishes, an increase of more
than % per cent. The invested fund for
the relief of clergy and their widows and
orphans shows an increase of 1918 600,
being now over S2,250 600. The endow-
ments of hospitals, orptanages and other
institutions of the church are greater by

 Since that time the academy has pa- tienty followed the progress of the navy, three men particularly contributing to the efficiency of the corps, sometimes even making the men ready in advance of naval construction.
 Influence of Civil War.
 The civil war naturally prevented any improvement in the course. shortened the period of training of the brighter cadets and weakened the discipline. Not many officers could be detailed for duty at the school, which for safety was moved for the time to Newport. R. I.
 Admiral David D. Porter was the man who in 1865 set the first seal of profes. sonalism upon the school work. Ds-i- pline became strict. drills regular and the academic halls taken in charge by ex. perenced officers as the ships went out of commission, again became nautical. The lessons of the war were interpreted by men who knew what they meant.
 Motive power for the sea had long since passed from sails to steam, the manof- war from a simple wooden sailing vessel which crunhled at its death knell at Hampton Roads in the conflict of the Merrlmac and the Monitor, was in process of becoming the modern battleshp, a steel monster made up of intricate machinery.
 Only last year a romantic cadet, filled with the historic lore of the sea, resigned his midshipmanship because, as he said. he had gone there to become sailor and did not propose to be made an elec- trcal engineer" The seaman of today must be n skilled mechanic.
 It was Admiral Porter, however. who set the honored tradition at Annapolis of polished manners, which he stimulated by establishing the closest social relations between his family the officers families and the cadets. It was this same reor- ganizer of the system who is remembered for the encouragement he gave athletics. Since his time education at the aca demy has been rather in advance of the actual demands of the navy. Other nations were making rapid progress in sea armaments. but the United States long Jagged behind

in battleship architecture. Trained in the theoretical part of their profession and abreast of the times, the officers turned out at Annapolis had a practical familiar ity only with old-fashioned seamanship, ordnance and gunnery.
 Beginning of New Regime.
 Capt. F. M Ramsay in 1881 was the second potent force in lifting the school into existence Practical exercises and theoretical studies under him reached proper balance and the courses more definitely took the shape of today. It was Rear Admiral Philip II. Cooper, who, with Col. K. M. Thompson. member of the board of visitors, began the movement which is removing the old poorly adapted buildings of a former time and making a modern naval institution worthy of the nation.
 Eight million dollars will have been spent by the people of the United States in perfecting the new buildings at An napols, and the Spanish American war had not a little to do with putting the people into the mood to make the expen- allure. Dewey at Manila and Sampson, Schley and Hobson at Santiago made the navy popular and brought home the deeds of it's long line of heroes and warranted a fitting home for its future admirals.
 The navy department was prevailed upon in 1895 to order a board to consider and recommend comprehensive plan for all necessary buildings. A set of plans was finally adopted and approved by the department, but the Spanish war came on and it was only after its victories that an appropriation became available. The cornerstone of the new armory. the first of the buildings now nearing completion, was laid in 1898 by Rear Admiral r. V. McNair.
 The armory. some 42S feet long, Hanks the new cadet quarters at right angles and is balanced by the boathouse, a structure similar in appearance The cadet quarters themselves extend I2o rect along the sea front.
