) WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. —_+— f Tae Horers of Amenica—The New 1s Herald periodically accords toall American hotels out of New vork a blast of censure as sweeping as undeserved. There is no do a the excellence of the New York city whigg ts the result of the fact that they sustgined—suificiently patronized to well keeping them at all times with a lavishi@xpendi- rite Be money. In these times, whem the b at business talent and most energetic enterprise ¢ the land is prone to seek that channel of making mopey, the amount of patronage that can possibly be achieved by an American hotel regulates the manner in which it is kept, for the most part- W berever a rush of travel or other patronage may be relied on, there the traveler may, in nine cases outof ten, rely upon finding a capital hotel. In the course of our extensive tour of this season we found this rale almost invariable in its operation; while we also found g: od hotels at many points where the business they enjoyed could not possibly compensate those keeping. The Herald; tow. ever, is correct in the spirit of its criticisms upon American hotel cooking generally, for the United States continues to be even yet what the French traveler pronounced it to be many years since— **the land of many religions and ove gravy.”’ As the taste of our countrymen in such matters changes—and it is rapidly changing—the style of American hotel cooking will change with it. At present. nine-tenths of the population of the United States prefer over-done lean, of, roast beef, to the finest French-pattie conceivable. The truth is, we Americans as a general thing care more for dinner arrangements that economize the time fn which it may be necessary to eat the dinner than for the exercise of elaboration and exquisite taste in its preparation, provided it be composed of substantial and wholesome food. Nevertheless, to please the palates of the traveled, one may uearly always procure an excellent meal cooked in mod- ern style in almost every American city hotel. The leading hotels of this city, for instance. though their business season exists for but au average of four and a half months in the year, are all as well kept as any reasonable person could possibly de- sire. In the course of the tour refeired to above, we found no tel in all respects equal to that of our fellow-citizens’, the Brothers Willard, which is capable of accommodating, comfortably and elegantly. as many guests as any other in the Uni- ted States, with the exception of perhaps two in New York city. In this opinion weare borne out by three or four gentlemen entirely capable of judging in the premises who made a tour this season similar to ours. and who we have seen here since returning to Washington. es A Rir Vax Wixxce.— Though politicians throughout the country as a general thing strive to wake up the minds of all in their endeavors to advance the interest of their particular party, and in the main are vastly successful, yet it seems that there are some happily ignorant of these tur- moiis, aud who seeim perfectly satistied to remain in blissful Innocence of the various poiitical changes which at certain periods occur in the dilferent departinents of our Government. Asan evideuce of ‘this, we may meution that a letter was recently received at the Interior Department addressed to the Hon. Thos Ewing, Secretary of the laterior, who, it will be remembered, beld that position as far back as the administration of Gen. Harrison. It is quite customary fur the heads of the different bureaus to receive letters addrersed to those who immediately preceded them in ollice, bat this correspondent seems a good ways behind the times. WASHINGTON CFTrY¥: aeeSeptember 26, 1959. it of the Morning Press. ‘The Constitution deals the correspondents who send such absurdly incorrect statements from this city tothe sensation journals, a smart rap over the knuckles for their biundering fabrications, and especially shows up the new dodge of the more pretentious of the correspondents of professing to be “authorized” to make this or that statement. The Intelligencer is devoted to news and mis- cellany to-day. = ws Honolulu from i>" Every foreigner arriving at ua r a foreign port, |s taxed two dollars for the ‘benefit of a native marine hospital. ———_———.. > Two white men were sold in New York on Saturday by-—a mock auctioneer One was swindled out of $20, aud the other out of $60. ee 7 All but $10,000 of the $175,000 requisite for the construction of a magnificient opera house in Brooklyn.

Wasnineton, Sept. 24—A letter was received here to-day, from ‘at eral Land Off i ‘from the Island of Ban He reports that if the intentions of Gov, Do iglass had been carried out there would ha’ been a coll sion between the British and Ameri- can forces, as the versels Satellite and Plumper had received orders from him to fire, but Admiral Bayne opportunely arrived and superseded him in command of the English ships of war, five in umber. ~ i § . : The original misunderstanding was with the Hudson iy Company, the f of which were represented by Gov. Douglass. The Island of San Juan had beewin the occupancy of the Americans at least See months, nobody seeming to question their rights. and for a longer period was considered and treated in all respects as belonging to Washington Territory. It wr< not until Gen. Harney applied to,and was informed by Boundary Commissioner Campbell that our title to the island wes clear and certain, that he dispatched troops thither, at the earnest request of tue residents, who claimed protection from British aggression, and especially from the redatory incarsions of Northern Indians, who faa even taken and held possession of a light- house for three days; and at whom _siorbed expeditions had repeated! sent to chastise them. Col. Rankin says the people of Washing- ton Territory and of the Pacific States are unani- mons for our retention of the island of San Juan; and such is their enthusiasm, that if the United States troops should be directed to vacate it, pri- vate parties, in formidable numbers, would im- mediately occupy that important position, and not surrender it without a severe struggle. But it is not stpposed in this city that our troops will be withdrawn, as this would be considered as an admission that our title is clearly disputable. it may not be yenerally known that this yovern- ment bas recently confirmed a biuff of land, con- taining three thousand acres, for a military reser- vation, if anything, farther north than San Juan Oar government having sent au of afall grade to Vienna, that of Austria raised Mr. Hlulseman to an equal rank. The latter will soon return to Washington. The whole amount of the public 14@@ sarveysas returned to the General Land office during the vear ending with the present monti, is nearly 53.000 miles. or about 15,000,000 acres.
