After a thorough consideration of the question Secretary Alger of the War De- partment, and Acting Secretary Roosevelt of the Navy Department, have decided against the proposed revival of the annual fot ball contests between teams of cadets representing the Military and Naval Acad= emies. This decision is based on repre- sentations from Col. Ernest, superintendent of the Military Academy, and Capt. Cooper, superintendent of the Naval Academy, that such contests are demoralizing to the ca- dets and interfere materially with the suc- cessful prosecution of their studies. The foot ball teams of the academies are given permission to meet all comers on their own grounds, but will not be allowed to play each other or to go away from the academy grounds to play.

May Be Relieved From Service on the Nicaragua Canal Commission in Nierragua. ‘The court of inquiry in the case of Capt. Carter, Corps of Ergireers, whose ac- ccunts as engineer in charge of the Georgia river and harbor works have been im- pbugned, is ordered to assemble at Savan- nah, Ga., next Tuesday. The delay is on account of the presence of a member 5T the beard, Maj. Raymond, in Detroit, where he is attending a meeting of the deep waterway commission. If the coming investigation ef Capt. Czerter’s azcounts promises to occupy myth time, which it is believed will be the case. it is probable that it will necessitate his relief as a mem- ber of the Nicaragua canal commissien, as his presence will probab™ be required in Sevanrah at a time when it is essenUal that the commission should be hard at work in Nicaragua. It had been arranged that Capt. Carter should take charge of the field party which was to go overland cross Nicatagua fer the purpose of veri- fying the survey work accomplished by the first commission, and if he is relieved an- cther army. eng.veer must be assigned to this technical work. - Origin of the Charges. The investigation of Capt. Carter's w at Savannah is based upon representati made to Gen. Wilson, ci‘ef of engineers, by Capt. Gillette, the engincer officer who re- cently suceeeded to the charge of the river and harbor works merly in cherge ef Capt. Carter in Georg’ It is explained that the appointment of engineer officers to investigate the works in question was due entirely to the belief that they were the most competent persons to determine the character of the work performed, as well as to determine whether the specifications of the contracts had been violated and the appropriations misapplied. In case it is shown that Capt. Carter has been guilty rk of negligence, carelessness or anything worse, such as collusion with the con- tractors, he will be tried by a general court-martial composed of nior offic frem all branches of the service, and t confined to the engineer department, as has been intimated might be the case. From October 14, 1884, until iast spring, when he was sent 4s military attache London, Capt. Carter has been in the river and harber works in G since April 24, ISSS. he has been in ch of the work.

This modification has been suggested by the attitude of Ger- many. In that country a patent may be obtained for a chemical process, but not cn the product.
