A SeasonabIe SimiIe.

The poet of old in a rhapsodic gem
His feverish passion declared.
To the blooming and beautiful rose on its
stem
Her charms still inspire, from her Psyche
toupee
To her close clinging gowns trailing
hem,
But the rose seems no longer the fit
simie-
My lady resembles the stem!

NOW UNDER ONE HEAD.
Two Bureaus of Navy Department
Practically Consolidated.

When many of the officers of the bu-
reau of steam engineering of the Navy
Department today learned that by order
of the President Rear Admiral Capps,
chief constructor of the navy. had been
made acting chief of their bureau they
Statutes which they had always regarded
as preventing the assignment of a staff
officer as chief of that bureau for more
than one month. They We're somewhat
bination of the bureau of construction
and the bureau of steam engineering
could have any degree of permanency
under such an arrangement
They generally entertained the opinion
that Secretary Newberry expected TO Sc
cure legislation authorizing the CONSOLE
dation of the two bureaus before the end
of the present session of Congress.
These officers We're surprised to learn
that the section they had depended on to
keep a line officer a the head of their
bureau made the restriction in reference
to staff officers in case of successor ap-
pointed to the chief of the bureau only
when such chief should die resign. The
fact that Rear Admiral Barton, recently
chief of the bureau of steam engineering,
had retired made possible the appoint
ment of Rear Admiral Capps without any
statutory limitation of the term he may
serve. No legislation will be necessary
to continue the practical consolidation of
the two bureaus, and from this time on
they will be operated under a single hdhd.

Coroner to Hold Inquest Over Man
Who Died Suddenly.

1t is Coroner Nevitts intention to hold
an inquest Saturday morning over the
body of Harry Nils, thirty-one years Of
age. who died at the Georgetown Univer-
sity Hospital this morning about $40
o'clock. a few minutes after he had been
taken from a cell in the seventh precinct
police station.
Mills. who lived at 1898 street, was
near 36th and n streets last evening about
the police were told he was crazy. Po-
liceman Ieer responded to the call and
found Mills in such bad shape that he
hurried him to the Georgetown University
Hospital. and when there had been a
marked improvement shown in the cOndi-
ton of Mills the policeman took him to
condition when the station was reached
Capt. Schneider says. although it was the
opinion Of the official that the man should
have been in a hospital. The captain
made an effort to have Mills sent to the
Washington Asylum Hospital but, he
says, he was unable to get an ambulance
for the purpose. He would have been
taken there today had he lived.
a bottle of medicine was furnished the
police for the sick man. and he was given
several does of 1t during the night. This
morning about 3 o'clock his condition be-
came alarming and ne was hurried to the
hospital. He died about the time he en-
tered the building. The police learned
that DIR. Michael J. Ready had treated
Mills at his home recently. and it is prob
able that the physician will be among the
witnesses examined at the inquest Satur-

Since November 10. when the foot-and-
mouth disease in cattle first made its ap-
pearance in the vicinity of Danvlle and
Watsontown. Pa. the epidemic has
spread to Maryland. New York and
Michigan. Vigorous work on the part of
the federal government practically has
resulted in the determination of the dis
ease in all of these states. and the fed
eral quarantine has thus far been mod
flied in Maryland. New York and Mich-
gan. The lifting of the quarantine now
permits the shipment out of New York
of hay and hides: in Maryland excepting
two counties. of hay and hides and cat
tie for immediate slaughter and the
same is true in Michigan. excepting in
five counties. The department is consid-
ering the advisabilty of modifying the
quarantine i'm Pennsylvania.
The department has had force of $50
veterinarians and many more nom
professional men engaged in the work of
eradicating the disease. the cost of which
it is estimated will be fully half a mil
lion dollars in the four states The total
number of animals slaughtered was 1905.
valued at $685. 26s. of which the federal
government will pay two-thrds and the
states affected one-third.

GIVES GERMANY THIRD PLACE
PITMAN PULSIFER PUSHES
FRANCE BACK A NOTCH.
Clerk Of Senate Committee Publishes
Navy Year Book-Explains
Fighting Strength.

The fact that in his navy year book
for 1905. which has just been published,
Pitman Pulsifier. clerk OF the Senate
committee on naval affairs. continues the
United States in second position and
gives Germany third place instead of
France In the order of navies of the
world in the item of fighting strength
has attracted considerable attention at
the hands of naval critics.
= This Mr.. Pulsifier explained today.
has been done after a careful study OF
foreign publications. and | am sustained
by such authorities as Lord Brassey in
his naval annual and James Fighting
Ships
For my information in regard to bat
tleships and armored cruisers L have col
lated tables which show that in battle
ships the United States has built and is
building thirty-one. as against thirty
one for Germany. twenty-siX for France
and fifteen for Japan. In armored cruis-
ers while the United States has twelve.
without counting the Charleston. Mil
waukee and st. Paul. which abroad are
reckoned as armored cruisers. Germany
has eleven France has twenty-five and
Japan has fifteen.
Other Factors Than Numbers.
This showing gives France larger
number of cruisers, but it should be
borne in mind that other factors than
numbers enter into any computation as
to the real strength and efficiency of a
navy. The displacement i'll tons of the
ba ttleships of the United States is 49,
100 those OF Germany 41I.4 S6. of France
357. li2 and OF Japan .:E;. Al and. al
though the number of armored cruisers
of France is greater than that of either
Germany or the United States. still the
combined tonnage of battleshipS and
cruisers is for the United States i0I al,
for Germany 54S,254 and for France
J1:;. Sol"
On the point of efficiency striking
difference IS shown by Mr.. Pulsifer as to
the age of the battleshipS of the four
powers mentioned, the average for the
United States being about four years,
for Germany about six, for Japan about
six and for France more than nine. The
United States also leads in the number
of it's large guns this country possessing
156 of H. l. and Is inch caliber. while
