Wilson, superintendent of the West Point Military Academy, has submitted to the War Department his annual report, He says that there were 294 cadets at the academy September 1, 1889. Since that date the loss bas been: 8 by resignation, 22 by discharge, 2 by death and 54 by graduation. The gain has been: 81 admitted as new cadets, making a total of 289, 4 of whom were admitted September 1, 1890. The number includes one cadet from Switzerland and one from Central America. Col. Wilson makes @ point of the disadvan- tage under which the candidates who enter in September are placed from the lack of drill and instruction, which their more fortunate classmates have acquired during the summer encampment. Of the fifty-six candidates who presented themselves August 28, 1849, only six- teen were admitted, and only six of these re- mained in the class after the June examina— tions. Col. Wilson attributes this greatly to the fact that they did not get an even start with their class, He earnestly urges that, except under extraordinary circumstances. no further Sep- tember appointments be made, and that the June candidates be notified a suflicient ume in advance of reporting to permit them to prepare for the examinations. He aiso suggesis that candidates report fcr physicai examination to the nearest medical officer df the army imme- diately dpon appointment, so that in the event of physical disqualification their appointments could be at once revoked and they be thus spared further expense and mortification. GOOD CONDITION OF THE CADETS. The condition of the corps of cadets as re- gards drill, discipline and instruction bas been excellent. In the first three classes, number- ing 184 men, but one cadet failed to pass the June examination, while of the seventeen pro- nounced deficient in the fourth class ten were recommended to be turned back and only seven were discharged. During the year the health of the command was less favorable than usual, and upon expert examination it was found necessary to recommend extensive improvements in the sewerage and plumbing. In view of the limited period allowed for ficid artillery drill it is urgently recommended that another battery of new ch field guns be applied to the academy. The seaconst and ege batteries are also reported to be in bad condition, and three guns burst during the year, fortunately without serious resul Those supp! m their place are old guns used during the rebellion, and the superimtendent says it would be criminal on his part to endanger the lives of the cadets by practicing with these obsolete pieces, and he recommends that new five-inch breech-loading steel guns be furnished. He says also that the battery instruction should be placed at once Upon an independent footing, and that fifty horses and thirty artillerymen should be fur- nished. ‘The light at present supplied to the academy 1 said to be of inferior quality. and the superintendent submits estimates for a complete electric light plaat, to cost $69,000. “A BAD CONNECTING LINK.” Charles Scott Convicted of Larceny; Hiram Walker Acquitted, Hiram Walker, the ashman whose place was raided a week ago, and Charles Scott, the col- ered thief who lived in Walker's house, were before the Police Court today. Scott was first arraigned on a charge of larceny, it being alleged that he stole a gun aud other articles from bis employer, Mr. George L Hill. He plead guilty to the charge and the prosecuting officer, Mr. Mullowney, asked the court to defer sentence until he tes- fitied in the charge against Walker. Judge Miller told Scott that he must under- stand that iis plea in this case must not affect his testimony in the other case. and assured him that he (Scott) would receive a sentence at the conclusion of the hearing. THE CASE OF WALKER was then called and he was charged with re- ceiving some of the stolen property, it being alleged that he knew the property was stolen. Col. Jack Brown plead not guilty for him and spoke of the absence of witnesses to give evi- dence as to Waiker’s good character. Mr. Hill testified to the loss of the property and Detective Mahon testitied to the arrests and to the recovery of the property. Seott. the confessed thief. was next called, and said that he stele the property from Mr. Hill's house. Some of the goods he put in his trunk in his room in Hiram Walker's house. Witness said that he rented a room from Walker, and that the latter did not know that he (Scott) had any of the stolen property there. (CROSS-EXAMINED BY THE JUDGE. Judge Miller cross-examined the witness at some length and he hesitated so that the judge threatened to send him to jail fora month if he did not answer. Finally he said that he never gave Walker any stolen property and did not know whether Walker had seen it or not. The officer explained that a pocket book and some handkerchiefs were found on Walker's table, but Scott said he did not know how the property got there. “fs this’ the witnesr,” asked the Judge, “by whom you expected to make the connection?” = ir.” answered Mr. Mullowney. a bad connecting link,” said the judge. The charge, Mr. Mullowney admitted, had not been sustained and was dismissed. WALKER'S MONEY. Col. Brown asked for an order for the return of the defendant's money that is still held by the police, but the judge could make no order, as the money was not involved in the charge. Seott was given the extent of the law—sx months in jail, The French Club Elects Officers. ‘The “Cercle des Precieuses Ridicules,” better known as the “French Club,” resumed its ses- sions last night in the parlors of Annex No. 1 of the Riggs House. Officers for the ensuing yeur were elected as follows: President, Mr. E. 7. Preston of the geodetic survey, Mr. LeBre- ton having declined a renomination dents, Capt. R.W. Meade, U.S.N. Bigelow and Mr. K. Dumaine; tars, Mr. Jos. Becker: corresponding secr: tary. Miss Rosa Sewell; treasurer, Mr. Kobt. Stein, The members of the “Cercle” were favored With voeal selections by Messrs. Howard 5. Nyman and Chas. E. Rice, and the Tarentelle by Heller was rendered on the piano by Miss Haliowell. ‘The club will hereafter meet in the Riggs House Annex No. 1, having secured the parlors for the season. cede : Sentences in the Criminal Court. In the Criminal Court Chief Justice Bingham this morning imposed sentences as follows: Samuel Kyder. colored, for having kuowl- edge of @ girl under sixteen years of age was Sentenced to one year and one day in the Al- bany penitentiary. The court said that he was inclined under all the circumst. to be leuient, but the statute made the offense whable by bard labor and there was no peni- tentiary or jail for hard labor here. He ther: fore sentenced him to the Albany p:nitentiary. Edward Parker, convicted on Thursday of assuuit and battery with intent to kill Andrew Jackson, was sentenced to the Albany peni- tentiary for four years Parker said he was sorry be cut the mau; that he been in rison three months and that he had reformed. The court remarked on the extraordinary wum- ber of such cases here and id something should be done to check it. There was in thix case scarcely any palliation, the crime having been committed shter the combatants had been once separated. He advised the prisoner, after leaving the penitentiary, to avoid bad com pany, drinking and late hours: but he could not treat the case lightly, and he would be derelict to sentence him to the minimum term. —— Leaves All to His Wife. The will of the late Edward T. Offutt, filed today, is as fellows: “I give and bequeath to my beloved wife. Ann Offatt, all the real and per- sonal property of which I stand possessed to have and to hold absolutely for ever.” In the estate of Stephen J. Nunan, Theresa A.

At low tide this morning gate was opened and asix-acre pond down near the monument was drained off into the river. Along with the water over 8 shad found their way Potomae to make their reappearance @ few years hence at as many different breakfasts and dinners, The work today was under the supervision of Col. McDonald, the fish commissioner, and Dr. Rudolph Hessel, who is in charge of the fish ponds. A number of interested spectators were on hand to watch operations and to get a chance to see shad by wholesale, After the gates had been lifted and while the pond was rapidly joining the brimming river Col. McDonald talked at some length with a Sraz reporter on the subject of shad culture. COL, M'DONALD TALES. “This putting out of over a million shad that are big enough to look out for thenselves, and that in consequence will probably arrive at maturity, is a very important event. The shad Sabing today is on an artificial basis as truly as are the grain fields of the west. If you don't plant wheat you won't have wheat, and the same with shad. Our rivers are so co1 pletely blocked up with nets every spring that very had can ever get up to spawn, and if it were not for artificial culture the shad fishery would soon disappear. But as it is, the shad catch this last spring was double in size what it was in 1880 and it is constantly increas- ing. The Potomac catch this year was 40,000. Today we put back three times that many, and, remember, these shad that go back are not fry; they are well-grown fish. erto we have only put in smaii fry, but our lan now is to keep the shad in ponds until as jate in the fall as they can be kept safely and then to turn them out into the river. Shad of that size are worth fifty times the same num- ber of fry so fur as their chances of growing up are concerned, WHAT THE PRESENT PLAN Is. “The plan now is to have big ponds on the side of each of the shad streams of the country and turn ont fingerling shad in the fall instead of letting them go as soon as they are hatched in the spring. In my opinion this is one of the most important moves the fish commission has ever made. We are making arrange- ments now for operating a 100-acre pond on the Delaware next spring, and we expect most valuable results. The expense is practically nothing, and the number ot shad that can be raised simply depends on the size ofthe pond. One hundred and fifty thousand to the acre can be raised without any trouble on the natura! food of the water and, with arti- ficial teeding, this number can be greatly creased. “There is no doubt that in order to keep up the fish supply of the country the waters must be farmed by the government just as the land is by individuals. The Agricultural Depart- ment aids in many ways, but the farmer does the work on land; but on the water the government has to do ali the work, even to the hatching and distribution of the fi This work is of inestimable value, too, for wherever an edible fish is introduced into the waters of this country or the number of those already existing is increased the economic resources and the material wealth of the coun- try are increased to that extent.” THE POST OFFICE SITE. Answers of Property Owners in the Condemnation Proceedings. Those who own property or hold it under lease in square No. 323, between 11th and 12th, C and D streets northwest, had time allowed them up to and including yesterday for filing answers and appearances under the order of publication made by Judge James, hold- ing the District court, who has jurisdiction of the condemnation proceedings. Up to the closing hour answers had been filed by the fol- lowing persons in addition to those mentioned in yesterday's Star: John Simmons, Frank Candiote,P. Bonavirres, by J. J. Johnson; G. C. Sacro, by W. V. BR. Berry; Julius Lansburgh, by L. Tobriner; C. B. Church et al., by J.’ J. Darhngton; John Hamlin and Nora Morgan et al.. by H. W. Gar- nett; John N. Walker. by W. K.

Stone Abert for Elizabeth J. Stone and self. The answers filed for the most part set forth the designation of the property and how it is held, and ina few instances state the sums they are willing to take for their property and deny that the government has used diligence to acquire title. In the cases of some of the occupants they set forth their holding under leages. and in some cases state the amonnt of betterment they have pnt on the property and estimate good will attached to business places, The appearances of counsel indicate that un- less the awards shall be satisfactory there will be exceptions filed and perhaps othr proceed- ings taken. The total value of the square. as appears on the assessment books, is a trifle over $175,000, making an average of $11 per square foot. The following answers were filed today: Geo. L.

Col. Ernst, the commissioner of public build- ings aud grounds, has established an interest- ing precedent tit came near interfering with the democratic™jubilee of powder burning south of the White House last night. Early in the daya of local democrats, of whom Mr. W.L Weller was spokesman, waited on Col. Ernst for permission to fire fifty-two guns 1m the White Lot to celebrate the democratic vietory. The colonel refused on the ground that the act would be improper and that the guns would injure the turf of the reservation. There was a good deal of argument, but THE COLONEL Was FIRM. No record could be found of the permit given by Col. Wilson to Geo. E. Lemon to fire @ salute on the lot in honor of Pres- ident Harrison's election. After the depu- tation had left this record was discov- ered, but the firing was begun neverthe- lest. The guns were planted by permit of the chief of ‘police on the street near the prop- agating ponds, but soon after the firing began a squad of police arrived with orders to re- move the guns to the foot of 19th street. Then the firing went on, but the committee incharge was very indignant. COL, ERNST DEFENDS HIS ACTION on the ground that the President’s premises should be protected from disturbances and that there was no time like the present for es- tablishing « precedent. He said to a Stax reporter this morning that he did not believe there was one democrat in ten who would not approve his course as soon as the facts were digested. He acted entirely upon his own responsibility and judgment, and had no communication with the White House in regard to the matter. The salute was fired by direction of the cen- tral democratic committee by battery A of the District National Guard. A permit was obtained from the District authorities, subject to Col. Ernst’s appr6val, to fire the guns on the White Lot. The members of the committee criticise Col. Ernst’s action as a discrimination against them because of politics. ——_—-— CIVIL RIGHTS AND ICE CREAM. Mr. Fussell Fined for Refusing Re- freshment to Colored Women. The case of Mr. Jacob Fnssell, the ice cream manufacturer charged with violating the civil rights act of the legislative assembly, as here- tofore publishea in Tue Star, came up in the Police Court today. The information, which was sworn to by Martha E. Wilson, a colored woman employed in the government printing office, charged “that the defendant was the keeper of an ice cream saloon and restaurant, and did then and there refuse to sell articles of food and refreshment, kept by him for sale, to one Missouri Butler and Martha E. Wilson, the said Butler and Wilson being well-behaved and respectable persons.” Mr. Dumont, on behalf of the District, read the information. ‘A TEST CASE, Mr. E. B. Hay, for the defendant, entered a plea of not guilty. He said that the charge was brought under an act of the “feather duster assembly” passed in 1872, “This is.a matter of some interest to the people of this community,” continued Mr. Hay, “and, as the defense claims that the law was unconstitu- tional, it is the intention tomake this a test asa” The complaining witness testified that on the day charged she went into Mr. Fussells place with her friend and they were refused ice cream at a table. She asked him his reasons and he said he did not desire their trade; that he kept his place for the accommodation of his friends and the public, and witness told him “WE ARE THE PUBLIC.” The court asked for proof that the defendant kept a licensed place and Mr. Hay said he would admit the license, Judge Miller thereupon imposed afine of $25 or ninety days. Mr. Hay said he would note an appeal. ee THE HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES. Names of Winners in the Games Yes- terday Afternoon.

At a meeting of the Arlington wheelmen last night it was decided to undertake a new enter- prise, in which the co-operation of the business men of this city and the public in general, as well as that of the cycling associations and athletic clubs, will be invited. Itis proposed to lease a section of ground on the line of several car lines on which to arrange a track, tennis courts, foot ball and lacrosse grounds. bowling alley, base ball field and all matters pertaining to athletic sports. A bicycle race track is especially desired, as it is generally thought thatthe League of American Wheelmen will make Washington its next meeting place if it can be supplied with a suitable race track, this being the only reason why the league has not been asked here. ‘The Arlingtons are very en- thusiastic about their scheme and seven of its members (the inembership now being twenty- five) have already subscribed over #125 for this end, with the rest of the members yet to respond, and it is thought this club will sab- scribe at least $500, The club has appointed severai committees to attend to the matter, and members will be authorized to ask subscrip- tions. The Arlingtons believe their enterprise will appeal to the public spirit and generosity of the public. — LIGHT-WEIGHT BREAD. All the Cases in the Police Court To- day Were Dismissed. If Judge Miller does not kirow how to bake bread it is not because he did not receive the proper instruction when several alleged light- weight bread cases were tried in the Police Court this morning. Both the law and the manner of baking were fully discussed. The law requires each loaf of bread to contain six- teen ounces, and Judge Miller thinks that the cousumer is entitled to that much bread. At the same time the law saya that due allowance must be made for shrinkage. The bakers explained how they in eighteen-ounce batches and how the different shaped bread comes out of the oven at different weights, the bread with crust all around the loaf weighing Jess than those baked in sheets. ‘The policemen who weighed the bread used scales in stores and, later on, the bi The weight did not correspond at ali, showing that the scales used by the officers were incor- t. Judge Miller said that these cases were always made in the nature of a raid, and he thought the proper way was to have the sealer of weights and measures weigh the bread when it was seized. The defendants, represent- ing ten cases, were W. D, |, Charlies Schaeffer, John L. Vogt, Charles Schneider and Charles McDonald. The charges were ail dismissed, Will Be Sent to Balttmore for Trial.
