Mr. Wilson arrived in the city thismorning, having come from his home in WestVirginia to attend to some departmental basi-nsBe was seen by a Sran asportir tis after-
noon and to him expressed the opinion thatthere could be no doubt that Mr. Crisp wilagain be Speaker. "That." he said, "is gen-erally esnoeded. I do not believe thtpie willhave any opposition."What will the extra session accomplish?
That is rather a dlileult quesslen to answer. Itwould sew impossible for me or any one atthis tia to assert with any degree of positive.ues tht Congress will do this or that. A argebody of legislators is an uncertain quntity,and any onewho has hAd experience wod hesi-tate to anticipate their action. The silver ques-iion will undoubtedly come to the front at anearly day, but what legislation will iesult can-not told now. In my state there b no eon-senses of pinic upon the silver law, but I be-es that am yof the residents of West

RADICAL CHANGES
Which Seeretary Morten Will flesem-nsdIn the Agrienteral Departenat
In his forthcoming report Secretary Nortonwill ;nake two important recommendations eon-templating radical changes in the method ofdoing some of the work of the Department ofAgriculture.
'"There is a censiderable ma 4t money ex-p1dsasmity bgg.wstmean ni-work that is but a dupbsation of that doneelsewhere, and that, too, largely at governmentexpense," said Secretary Norton. "Thisbusines of distributing fardea seeds is a goodillustration. The practice was began beforethe day of the present state agricultural experi-ment station, and is still continued as If thesestations did not exist. The object of thesestations in apparent from their name, and inorder to foster them the general governmenthas contributed to each such institutionannually the sum of 015.000, the appropriationlast year aggregating $750,000."Under the present system garden seds are
distributed indiscriminately, without rgrd tolocality or any knowledge as to whether theyare adapted to the country to which they go, oreven whether the people who receive them haveany gs for or want them. It should be theobject of these experiment stations to test theneeds of the soil, and if there is any publicdemand for seeds that thrive and produe wellto supply them from the fund which the gov-ernment pays them. True, this would preventCongressemen from Booding their districts withsuch packages, but It would be a long step inthe direction of economy, and at the same timesubarve all public needs.
OenAT ]DnUrCATION."in the same way many of these state stations
are conducting experiments that are simplyduplications of the work now being done bythis department. These experiments naturallyare for the benefit of a certain section of thecountry, and the stations in these states, aidedby Congress, pay particular attention to thosevery exez meats. In this way the expense is
doubl Anotable Instance of this kind is theexperiment work now being conducted In theline of manufacturing sugar from sorghum. ItIs a waste of money to pursue this sort of apolicy, and Inasmuch as Congress now con-tributes so liberally I see no good reason whythe labor ip the same direction done by thebcee of this bureau ekould not be stoppedand the salary list reduced. The seine can besaid In regard to Irrigation and other matters,and my recommendations will be in favor of acessation of this unneessrand wasteful ex-penditure of public money. -
THE NAVAL WAR COLLEGE.
Considerable Uncertainty as to Its F'uture-It May Be Abandoned.
There seems to be some uncertainty in navalcircles as to the future of the Naval War Col-lege at Coaster's Harbor Island. The usualorder for the summer lectures at the collegehave been omitted so far this year, and it Issaid that no recommendation for an appropria-tion for the benefit of the institution will be In-cluded in the Navy Department estimates forthe next fiscal year. The college building cost@75,000, but if It should be no longer neededfor Its present purposes It could readily be con-verted to the uses of the naval training station,which is maid to be badly In need of substantialencouragement of just that character. It hasbeen suggested to the Navy Departmentthat the college be transferred to Annapolis,where the students would have the great ad-vantage of the large library of the Naval Acad-emy in completing their poegduate course.One of the officers of the academy in talkingrecently of this matter said that there wasalready a post-graduate course for the npvalofficers In theodisciplhne required of the acadetnisstaff and corpe of instructors at the academy,and that the transfer of the war college to An-napolis would be natural and economical, andalso that It would soon be found to be moreuseful and generally acceptable than the pre-eut Newport arrangement. Tise Naval Academycould be used for the war college In thesummertime, when moat of the cadets were away ontheir summer cruise.

The engineer departmeLt is nowhard at worken the map showing the extension of-street, asprovided by the act establshing a permanentsystem of highway. In eonversation witha STAN reporter upon the general sub-ject of street extensions this morningCapt. Powell said that, s far as practicable, allstreets would be extended In a straight line. Inthe ease of Connecticut avenue some difioaltymight be experienced and eoniderable cuttingwould have to be dome. If Connecticutavenue is extended in a straightline, it will be necesary, he thought, to bridgethe cr n streets. This would be necsaryon account of the large outo that wouldhave to be made in the establishment ofthe uniform grade for the avenue. It hadalo practically been decided to adopt a systemof at and wet alleys for all that sectionlying outside of the city and to compel theopening of these alleys by the refusal torecord any subdivisions unles. these alleys areprvided for. This would be a departure, but
need of alleys every day becommes moreand more manifest. The early opening of thesealley. would allow of the introduction of-leetrio light and telephone wires and the intro-duction of sewers and water maine, thus obvi-ating the necesity of digging up the strees andsidewalka.
TEN WAMn QUMNTION.yust now the holders of wharf property along
the river front from 6th to 14th street arespeculating a to the outcome of the caseof the United State. against Morris, nowpending in the. Sapreme Court of the Die-trt It PA b tosealwi that sa timeg the was a o.uerover .y between the Inland
and 0Oastg (npad and Meses"Robinson & Co. over the rigLt to aI* feet of wharfage. The government steppIn about this time and claimed title. Italways been arded that the wharfprivileges belone to the government, andprivate parties who wished to leame would getsses for twenty years from the government,the le.ss paying all expenses of a wharfand its maintenance. In that oaethe Supreme Court decided that the
vernment was the real owner of the wateront, and the District Comm..ioners, acting
upon the advice of their attorney, stepped inand commened proceedings for posession.The mne of the United States against Morris,to determine the title of the government toall land affected by the improvements on thePotomac river and the Bats, came about thistime, and the Commissioners to await adecision in this case before proceeding in thematter. The ease has never been setgled.
Several days ago Acting Secretary Hamlinuested the Commissioners to take action re-rding the wharf at the feet of Bth street, with
a view of turning it over to the Treasury De-prtient for its use. The Commlsamenars sentthe cam to Attorney Thoas for a report aponthe subject, and late yesterday afternoon hesubmitted his opinion.
inn onmuoa.After eesefy reviewing the eme to queonu
Mr. Thoas says he does not know whether thedescription of the property an containedin the lease includes the foot of6th street, and a survey will have to bemade to decide the question. Should theSupreme Court in the case of the United Statesagainst Morris et al. reverse Its decision in thesteamboat company's ease, Mr. Thomas says Itwould not affect the right of the United States,as the fee simple owner of the streets of Week-ington city, to the right of wharfing at the footof mid street, an incident to such ownership.
