Advances in Electrical Apparatus on Ships—Sending Out the Correct Time—The Expenses. Commodore F. E. Chadwick, chief of the bureau of equipment, Navy Department, in his annual report says that there has been a steady advance in the extent and character of the electrical work on board ship. It is safe to say that the electrical equipment of the ships of the navy affords a standard for marine work. It may here be noted that in the short period which has elapsed since vessels of. the Concord class were fitted, dynamos of like power with those furnished these ships are now being supplied, having only three-fourths the weight and occupying not more than one-half the floor space. A table of percentage of consumption of coal by the new ships for steaming pur- poses shows that the percentage was great- est on the Newark, Bennington, Dolphin and Miantonomoh, and the percentage was lowest on the Bancroft, Boston, Monterey and Philadelphia. The total estimates for the bureau for 184 are $1,123,605, of which $1,100,000 is for equipment of vessels, and $19,025 is for the civil establishment. Capt. F. V. McNair, superintendent of the naval observatory, whose report is in- closed, says the following rules have been established in regard to obtaining stand- ard time from the government observatory: AS @ government institution the observa- tory diffuses the results of its observa- tions, either directly or indirectly, as widely as practicable, among the taxpayers who support it, and therefore have the right to participate in the benefits arising trom its work. The results of observations for clock cor- rections have been regularly given by means of telegraphic time signals for more than a quarter of a century, without dis- Unction or cost, to all individuals or cor- porations who may apply and provide the Hecessary apparatus for putting the signals upon their own lines. ‘When the signals are once upon the wires it is manifestly impossible for the observa- tory to control. either the range of their distribution or the accuracy with which they are transmitted from one circuit to another. For that reason the observatory limits its responsibility to the furnishing of an accurate daily signal at noon of the seventy-fifth meridian time. It has noth- ing whatever to do with the distribution of these signals and 1s alike indifferent to the extension or contraction of the time service. It is for the public to decide whose time signals they prefer and how they will obtain them. The naval observatory has special direc- tions concerning the government offices in the District of Columbia. ————_+-2.___ Washington Mi: K d iu a Collision Three persons were killed and five in- Jured in the collision on the Reading rail- road near Trenton, Thursday night.

Handsome Residences to Be Erected in This City. THE POPULAR TASTE TENDS 70 YELLOW Public Property Occupied for Pri- vate Uses. SOME IMPROVEMENTS. Gen. Wadsworth of Geneseo, N. ¥., who has represented his district in the House of Representatives for a number of years past and has had a home in this city while en- gaged in his official duties, has decided to erect a residence for his own use on K street between Connecticut avenue and 18th street. The plans have been prepared by Harvey L. Page, architect. and the build- er is John 8. Larcombe. The house is to have a frontage of thirty feet and will be built of brick. It will, when completed, be @ complete home, with nothing very showy about it, but such a house as a man is apt to feel comfortable in. The erection of this house will add another to the number of handsome houses which have been built recently on this square. The reputation of K street as a street of handsome residences by common consent did not extend much further along that thoroughfare than west of Connecticut avenue. In the last few years, however, this block has fairly laid claim to a place in the procession with the eastern part of the street. In addition to the house which was formerly the resi- dence of Mr. Charles Nordhoff, Mr. Titian J. Coffey has built a fine house. Then there are the residences of Mrs. Woods and Miss Gale. The houses on the southern side of the street have been built some years and are good types of the modern city house. Yellow its the Color. Even a casual inspection of the material that seems to be the most popular in the erection of houses in this city affords con- vincing proof that red brick is sti by all odds the favorite. It is often said of Wash- ington that it is a red brick city. Certainly a ride through the streets and an examina- tion of the buildings would prove that the title is not misplaced. Red is not a bad color and the remark that is so often made is not in a critical vein. It is ac- knowledged, however, that Washington has made better use of its red bricks than any other city, and it is also conceded that the bricks are of superior quality. This lat- ter fact is one reason why bricks are so much in use. Stone is employed a great deal too, but generally in connection with brick, and, as has been claimed, mainly to set off and enrich the brick. Perhaps, how- ever, the stone men would make the oppo- site claim. Recently, however, it has been noticed that red is no longer the fashionable color, and as houses are almost as sensitive to the decrees of fashion as the dress of wom- en, the color is being changed. The colon- jal style of architecture is having a run now and the prevailing color is of course yellow, and in cases where a building is to be erected the owner can easily conform to the style by using bricks of the accepted color. However, the same end can be reached by painting over the red bricks, an@ this is being done to an extent that is surprising to anyone who is not familiar with the influence of fashion on the style of houses. In a few years more the prevailing color of domestic architecture in this city ‘will not be the red, and there will no doubt ‘be @ pleasing blending of colors which will perhaps better suit those who are afraid of monotony. Representative Storer’s Residence. A large addition is being built to the res- idence of Representative Bellamy Storer of Cincinnati, which is at the southeast corner of Rhode Island avenue and 17th street. This new improvement will not be seen from the street and the exterior of the house will be unchanged. The interior, however, will be greatly enlarged, as the addition, which is a back building, will be seventy feet long and will add very much to the capacity. The new part will contain a din- ing room, with the ceiling the height of two stories; a music room, and then what will be known as a studio. The latter will be the special province of Mrs. Storer, as it will contain a fine furnace where pottery can be baked. The plans for this improvement were prepared by a firm of Boston archi- tects, but the work is being done under the direction of a Washington builder, Mr. John S. Larcombe. The plans call for a roof of such heavy construction that some thought it was the Intention of the owners of the property to have a summer garden on the roof. on Public Property. The erection of the stone fence around the residence of Mr. L. Z. Leiter on Dupont Circle has by its height and its extent at- tracted attention. The high gateposts, especially at the north end, it is claimed, will prove to be an obstruction to the occupant of the ad- joining house, when it is erected. One of the purposes of the ample parking which the system Of streets in this city affords is to allow all the residents on a street to have an equal show at the sun- lght and the air as well as the view. The occupation of the public grounds in this in- stance is by means of handsome improve- ments and no objection can be urged on the score that the fence is below the grade of improvements in that vicinity. But, it is held by those who think Mr. Leiter has invaded public rights, that, however costly a fence, it would become an intolerable nuisance if every house owner should want to do as Mr. Leiter has done and erect a tall fence in front of his resi- dence. It would make no difference whether the citizen’s house had a frontage of twenty feet or fifty feet, he has just as much right to use the public parking, it is claimed, as Mr. Leiter, and it ts difficult to see how the building authorities could refuse to grant such requests. Not an Isolated Cas: There are other cases which are almost as flagrant. For example, there is the occu- pation of an immense stretch of parking in front of Lieut. Emory’s house on Con- necticut avenue, just opposite the British legation. A stone wall shuts the public out from the property which belongs to it and further, in the opinion of a good many mars the appearance of that section of the city by substituting for what ought to be an expanse of soft sward, the hard lines and color of stone and iron and cobble stone. It would seem to be a good rule that @ man ought not to allowed to build more than can be placed on ground which he owns. In this way every body will have a fair show, and the parking along our streets, which is one of the most admired features of the city, would then be devoted to the purposes for which the reservation, so gen- erous in extent and so unprecedented, was intended. The Monthly Flow of Cash. The effect of the steady payments each month made to the employes of the gov- ernment in this city has frequently been commented upon. The exact volume of money paid out has always been a matter of more or less conjecture. The reason is that no summary is prepared of the total number of employes in this city and the amount of salaries received by them. In- cidentally, the recent report of the con- gressional joint committee appointed to in- Vestigat of the laws organising te the status we the executive departments throws a good deal of light on this interesting subject. From the summary made in the report it is found that there are 17,599 3 em- ployed by the government and located in this city. A further summery fs made of the number of the employes receiving spe- clic salaries, which shows that there are 1,471 employes of this class whose total an- nual pay amounts to $15,364,198. The other 6,000 employes are what are known as per diem employes, and it is fair to presume that the salaries paid to eeng ag of this basis the monthly payments from the national trea- sury on account of salaries to persons liv- ing in this city $s about $1,250,000. This is a large amount of ready money to be made available for circulation each month, and when it is considered that there is no re- ductions or shut downs known in the es- tablishment of Uncle Sam, :t would seem that the ordinary business interests cf the city ought not to suffer even in -lull times. Some Improvements. An apartment house, ten stories high, is Proposed to be erected by ‘fT. ¥. Echneiler and J. F. Manning on Q street near 16th street. The frontage will be 120 feet and the depth 100 feet, with a central court in the rear. The cafe and kitchen are to be on the top floor. Edward W. Byrn will improve the north- east corner of B street and Arthur place by the erection of a residence. It is to be four stories, 25x65 feet, with fron< of brown stone. Adjoining on Arthur place he’ will also build two three-story dwellings. A college hall and library building will be erected at Howard University. It is to be @ one-story building, 80x198, with weils cf Indiana limestone end wili have exposed timber roofing Gothic style. It is to be heated by steam and lighted by clectricity. Littlefield, Alvord & Co. will build a fur- niture storage warhouse on E street be- tween 26th and 27th streets. It is to be of brick and stone, two stories in height, 6x50 feet. Iron columns and beams will be used in the construction, which is to be fireproof. DETAILED AS INSTRUCTORS. Gen. Williams Says Army Officers Are a Suocess in This Line. Gen. R. Williams has submitted his last annual report to the Secretary of War as adjutant general of the army. He will go on the retired list early next month. He submits tabulated statements compiled from the reports of officers detailed as professors of military science and tactics at various Private institutions and says they afford convincing evidence of the steadily increas- ing favor with which the American people regard an intelligent and judicious blending of military instruction and exercises with the scholastic course of studies. This grati- fying growth of popular interest will be best shown by comparison of the results of the past scholastic year with those of the two preceding years. Gen. Williams says: “While the above figures show that—as Proper in a country which relies, in time of public danger, on its citizen soldiery—the ed- ucational centers selected are becoming more and more important factors in insuring the greatest efficiency of that important branch of the military service, the system can only reach its full development when at all insti- tutions securing a detail the rule is made imperative that every male, physically capa- ble, shall be enrolled as a military student. “To further disseminate these benefits it is believed that instruction now provided for colleges should be extended to the ‘high Schools’ of our large cities, and it is recom- mended that legislation authorizing the de- tail of twenty-five additional officers for the Purpose be enacted. The advantages to both the service and the people are too man- ifest to require argument. “As the usual length of a coll te course of studies is four years, there cogent reasons for fixing that term as the length of the tour of duty of officers detailed as pro- fessors of military science and taétics, and I beg to recommend its adoption. It would, Moreover, conform to the general rule gov- mes | of officers on special Additional Cadets. ‘The adjutant general indorses the recom- mendation of the superintendent of the Military Academy that authortiy be given for appointment at large of one cadet by each Senator of the United States and that the President be authorized to appoint at large forty cadets instead of thirty as at present. He speaks in the highest terms of the excellent results already accomplished by the division of military information, that the reports prepared in th dinsiaetcs distributed to the army, - Indian Soldiers. In a chapter on the Indian as a soldier the adjutant general says: “Prinjarily, the scheme was adopted with a view to giving Indians legitimate em- ployment in an appropriate channe!, and in the hope that the habits acquired under and enjoined by strict military training would benefit both the individual Indians 80 enlisted, and, by reflex action, the tribes from which they were drawn; and this ob- Ject bed in Rao fully justifying the experiment, any purely military considerations. “While every means has been ted to insure the success of this tentative effort, I am constrained to state my conviction that after two years’ trial the experiment has not reached that degree of success that was anticipated, and that I do not believe it will ever ‘be productive of results at all commensurate with the expense. “The whole number of Indians enlisted in the line of the army up to June 30, 1893, was 3, and the actual number in the ranks at that date was 771, only 126 enlist- ments having been made during the last fis- cal year. There were at that date six troops of cavalry and nine companies of infantry fully organized. The great difficulty completing the organization of four addi- tional companies led to the discharge of the Indians enlisted for these companies, and since June 30 it has been found advisable to disband one of the nine companies,men- tioned above. . . . . . . . “On a careful consideration of the whole subject, I cannot resist the conviction of the unadvisability of enlisting Indians in the regular regimental organizations. Indians, when under able command and effective discipline, make excellent skirmishers and scouts, and I am strongly of opinion that their employment as army scouts is the limit of their usefulness to the military establishment.” ——__—_-e-+______ Desperate Fight Between Stowaways. The German berk Standard arrived at New York from Marseilles on the 5th in- stant. Her captain, Denker, came to quar- antine and reported all well. It was learn- ed yesterday that she had two stowaways aboard and that a row occurred between the stowaways two or three days after the Standard safled from Marsetlles. The belli- ferents were an Italian of the name of Hugo Gualterati and an Irishman of the name of James Egan. The Italian ripped cpen the abdomen of the Irishman with a sheath knife and the wounded man died on the following day. The body was buried at sea. No report of this incident was made by the captain of the steamship. see oe Campania Now Holds the Record.

Campaign for the Municipal Offices of Baltimore. CHARGES AGAINST THE INCUMBENTS. Extravagance and Recklessness in Contracts Alleged. THROUGHOUT THE STATE. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Oct. 21.—There are four municipal tickets in the field. ‘The regular | democratic ticket is headed by Mayor Ferdi- nand C. Latrobe, who is making his seventh run for the office. The republican ticket has at its head for mayor Mm. 8. Molster, President of the Columbian iron works and | builder of the government cruisers Detroit |and Montgomery. The citizens’, or inde- | pendent, ticket contains as its candidate for mayor the name of Frederick W. Schultz, a wealthy plumber and president jot the Schultz Gas Fixture Company.. The Prohibitionists have named as their man for mayor William Kieinle, a brush manu- facturer, and are working hard to secure Votes for him. In fact, the cold water peo- ple are holding more meetings than all the other parties combined, and if enthusiasm is any sign of political strength prohibition will add largely to its number of votes this year. But it is usual for the prohibi- tionists to have a stirring campaign, yet, Somehow, most of them fail to vote their ticket when it comes to the scratch on election day. The citizens’ movement is beginning te attract more attention than it did at the start. The men who are at the head of this attempt to oust the regular democratic organization from the cpntrol of city affairs have begun to assail Mayor Latrobe and | his administration and are alleging that ‘darge sums of money from the treasury have | been squandered in excessive payments for | public works, especially for street paving |and sewer building. The comparison be- , tween the cost of paving and sewer build- | ing in Washington and Baltimore is used as a basis for the statements that the authori- ties of this city are paying too much money for the work done. It is claimed that Bal- timore is getting pavements greatly inferior |to those of Washington and is paying at least 45 cents a square yard more for a poorer grade of work. It is also claimed that the new sewers under process of con- struction here are costing at least one-third more per foot than the same grade of work costs in Washington. The burden of the argument of the reformers, therefore, is | that too much is being paid out for paving |and sewer building and that the excesst | cost is due to the fact that the so-called “ring” is in league with the contractors and is getting a good share of the swag. indeed, the crators of the citizens’ party are openly asserting on the stump that Mayor Latrobe is but the pliant tool of the ring, and while they do not accuse him of profiting personally in the alleged tion in city affairs, they say he allows politicians who control the machine to age things as they see fit, and gives contracts at the dictation of the bosses, have become rich at the expense of taxpayers. The anti-ring orators also allege leaders of the regular democratic ganization compel the contractors city work and supply material the Poration to give up a ce=tain percentage every contract given out, varying from to sixteen per cent of the entire sum—which percentage, it is also claimed, is added the real amount which should justly be for the work, and is therefore really by the taxpayers of the city. It is needless to state that from the mayor down, deny the above charges and Ne works here are carried and are as good as those of in the country. The position of the local the political questions and the tickets is clearly indicative of the result on election day. old-established fluential morning papers are either or tacitly in favor of the regular cratic ticket.

No Applicant for This Office. While there are dozens of candidates for Boyd, and in the fifth to succeed Judge Chas. B. Roberts. All these gentlemen have been nominated to succeed themselves by the democrats, and Col. Thomas 8. Hod- son has been nominated by the circuit Judge Roberts is so popular that the republicans have made no nomination against him, and he will receive the unani- mous vote = the people —— sents. The democratic majority circuit is usually about 2,000, so Judge Page is reasonably sure of election. In the fourth circuit, which is composed of the counties of Washington, Allegany and Garrett, the usual republican majority is about 500, and were the republicans to poll their full vote for Mr. Richmond, he would defeat Judge Boyd, who was appointed to fill the vacancy made on the bench by the acceptance of Judge Alvey of the place he now holds im Washington. ‘There are strong reasons to yelieve, how- ever, that Mr. Richmond will not receive the full republican vote on November 7. Before his appointment to the bench Judge Boyd was the attorney for the Baltimore |and Chio Railroad Company, and for sev- eral other corporations in Allegany county. These corporations, through their agents and employes, will do all in their power to secure his election. In addition to the above facts, the democratic candidate is very popular among the republicans in all parts of his circuit, and many will vote for him on personal grounds who will not vote for the rest of the democratic ticket. Mr. Richmond, on the contrary, will have | the corporate interests of the circuit against him, and he will lose many votes of his own party people because of the factional fights among the republicans of Alje- any. “for years the republican party in that county, where it is stronger than in any other part of Maryland, has been torn by factional strife, and whenever the demo- crats have won a victory, it has been brought about by the jealous divisions in the ranks of the opposition. This was clear- ly shown in the election of Gen. W. M. McKaig to Congress in 189, and again in 182.
