THE QUESTIONS AKISING IN ADJUSTING THE TITLES TO PROPERTY. ‘The payments due to the property-owners on Capitol Hill on the site where the new library building is to be erected are being made as rapidly as the examination of the titles is com- pleted. In cases where there 1s a defect in the title the money {s placed in the custody of the court, where it will be retained until the titles are corrected and the ownership determined. In all cases where the payments are made, the owners are required Yo sign 8 paper binding themselves to surrender the possession of the property on the Ist ot the month following the @ate when the payments aré made. As, for instance, those paid in August agree to’ sur- render possession on the ist of September, but in cuse the government is not ready to take n the owners or tenants will be allowed to occupy the property, although at any time they may be required to give up their house: ‘The government wishes to be able to obtaii possession of the property whenever it may be convenient, and for this reason the owners are required to'sign an agreement before receiving their money. "A question has been raised as to whether, in the case of tenants, the usual legal notice to vacate will have to be served, but 1 is Stated at the Interior department that when the title to the government tenants can- not avail themselves of the usual laws, and they will be obliged to leave when the owners are notified that the government desires possession. ‘The library commission propose to use the house of Mr. C. P. Lincoln, at the corner of East Capitol and 2d streets, for office purposes, and as Soon as a sufficient extent of the property is acquired by the government the work of pre- ing the ground for the new. building will be gun. As is often the case with property that. has been in the possession of one family’ for a long time the titles to much of this property will need legal action in order to bring thet up to the present day. It is a very common thing in families for the heirs to make no divi- sion of the property except by agreementamong themselves, and ag the years go by the number of heirs increase, and their united action is necessary in order to make a legal transfer of the property. In a few Instances property, in that locality has been in the possession of o: family for eighty and ninety years, and yet no legal division has ever been made. ‘This, as ‘well as other causes, make the examination of titles and their flnal settlement a rather com- plicated process, To be Public Printer.

THE REPORT OF COMMANDER CHESTER, WHO VISITED THE FISHING GROUNDS, ‘The report ot Commander ©, M, Chester, of the Galena, who was directed to go to the scene Of the fishery troubles and report exactly how American fishermen were being treated by Canadian war vessels, has been received at the Navy department. He states that he arrived at Hawkesbury August 10th, where he learned that the people greatly regretted the present State of affuirs, us they are deprived of the trade with the fishing veayols, merly the main sup) their merchants. Alter the fishing vessels had made thelr frst cateh they would return to the home ports,refit and replenish their supplies. Now the mer- chants lose the trade, and the fishermen must Teturn to the United States to the great loss of all concerned. Commander Chester found fish- ing vessels around West Cape, and he says that the American schooners were readily distin- fulshed ‘by thelr size, ane models and well- cept appearance, and the crews were, without ception, fine-iGoking men, mostly young and splendid specimens of American seamen.

A Talk with Representative Gof. ‘HE PRAISMS THE SPEECH OF THE “MAN FROM MAINE” AND THINKS IF THE CONVENTION ‘WAS TO BE HELD Now HE WOULD BE NOMI- NATED WITH 4 WHOOP. Representative Goff, of West Virginia, took hold at the republican campaign committee rooms today, and will probably devote his time to the committee work almost exclusively Until the fall campaign is over. The republi- cans are going to be pretty active during this campaign, and will try toset up agood solid row of pins for 1888, The Blaine guns in Maine start the campaign, and it lsexpected that they Will be kept booming right along, The burden of the political work done in the fall elections will be directed more particularly to the pur- Pose of affecting the campaign in’88. The re- publicans expect to make gains in the House, but they do not hope to gain a majority, nor do they cate so much abeat that,’ Mr Blaine friends thn they. tee where the mistakes were mu 784, and they are to ry Ox- perience. The work frome cannon ar be very active, but conducted with caution and re Mr; Gott is a strong Blaine man, and is one of the shrewdest political managers in the party. THE PEOPLE OF WEST VIRGINIA ALL FOR BLAINE, In conversation with a Star reporter today, he would not commit himeelf concerning Mr. Blaine’s candidacy, but was very enthusiastic in his praise of his speech, and ventured so far as tosay that if the convention were held to- Malod "wiuin'a. wigopeor someding to" ya a ‘somethin; a effect, Mr. Blaine’s specch, be said, was just ieee |; it was exactly the thing, and his face lighted up as he suid it, Speaking of West Vir- ginla Mr. Goff sald the people were all for Blaine there; that he was much stronger there than before'his defeat. West Virginia is for rotection, All the industries of the people lead them that way. In other parts of the country he thought Mr. Blaine was. strooger than ever. He said the lesues of the campaign two years hence would be about the same as they Were in '84—protection would be the key- note. Blaine came boldly out on this point, but so did the other republican leaders. HOW THE REPUBLICANS LosT IN THE LAST CAMPAIGN, Mr. Goff expressed the opinion that the republicans lost much in the last campaign by allowing all their, plans to become known. ‘They never started out to do anything but that it was foreshadowed In the newspapers. Thoy had their pins all set up to carry West Virginia, But all their operations were made public, and one fine morning Hendricks,.Carlisie, Kenna, Thurman and Follett appeared on the scene and went through the whole state, saving it to the democrats. If Mr. Blaine should be the candidate in ’88, it will be found, Mr. Goff said, that he is stronger than before, and that at the same time the democracy will be weaker, EXPECTING GAINS OF REPUBLICAN CONGRESS MEN IN THE TWO VIRGINIAS. ‘Mr. Goff says he thinks the republicans will elect a man to the House from the 4th West Vir- ginia district, where Mr. Gibson has just been defeated tor the democratic nomination by Mr. Hogg. He says Mr. is a bright young law- yer, prominent only in local poiitics,and his nomination is a great surprise, He was before the convention the last time, when Mr. Gibson Was nominated, but had very little strength. Mr. Goff gould ‘not gay who ‘the republicans would probably nominate. He sald they were going to 6 to elect men in ail the districts and were very ho} lot electing at least three out the four. Wilson’s district, he thought, was the strongest democratic, In their sister state over the way, Virginia, Mn, Goffsaid he thought the republicans would elect five members of Con- gress instead of two they have now.

The story of the fistic encounter in the coast survey office on the evening of the 23d inst., was told by Mr. Vivian J. Fagin toa Star re. Porter as follows: “As I had been relieved from duty as accountant of the bureau from and after that date, a subordinate in the place named Calonna, to whom the superintendent has delegated ¢ome general authority as an assistant In scientific details, took upon him- self to appoint three clerks, who were ordered to one of the rooms of my division to examine the contents of the safe. Of this action I bad no advice. When, in the course of my official duties I went to the safe in an adjoining room, I found three persons examining some old Papers which they had taken from it. J sald nothing to them, but proceeded to get a paper from one of the inner eompartments, when one of the three, Mr. Chrigtie, pushed me violently, whereupon, without a word, I knocked him down and went about my legitimate businesa, ‘The contents of the’ safe were not worth five cents to either the government or individuals, The paper I'am charged with attempting to destroy was a private memarandum of car Uckets furnished me for official use.” ——__.

Strauss moved to chan; THE WATER WORKS TUNNEL. ‘The Report of the Board of Engineer Officers. WHAT IS NECESSARY, IN THEIR OPINION, TO MAKE THE TUNNEL HOLD WATER. The report of the board of engineer officers upon the new aqueduct tunnel recommends, as announced in yesterday's Stax, the use of brick in the lining of the tunnel, as the exclusive use of concrete Is, in the opinion of the board, 1m- practicable. The report was approved by the chief or engineers and the acting Secretary of ‘War, and a copy was to-day sent to Major Ly- Gecker for jhis guidance in prosecuting the work, The report states that the character of the rock encountered is unfavorable to endur- ‘noo, from its tendeney to deteriorate when ex- Posed to the air. In some places this change has already ooourred; at others, rock which, when bl is sound and hard,will sometimes away in & few months, rum! 08 intoclay.’ The headings were started in sound Tock, giving no indication of the probable pres: ence'of this disintegrating rock on the line of the tunnel, and there appears to be no reason Why better results should have been anticl- ted by carrying the shafts and tunnel any lower. If the character of the rock had been an- Ueclpated the grade of the tunnel would ha: been fixed much higher. The work has now advanced too far for any change in grade to be practicable, and it only remains to make sulte- le provision To RESIST THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE to be apprehended. Where the rock is solid and can safely be trusted to resist disintegra- tion, which the engineer in charge Judges will be the case for about four-tenths of the length of the tunnel, no Mning is necessary and no change in the present cross section is ted, Where the rock, although fairly safe to trust without lining, the present plan is to line with thirteen foot (3 brick) arch and fill in solidly with dry stone between the bricks and the rock in place. ‘The board recommends that such places shall be filied with rubble laid in cement mortar, or with fine concrete packed solidly round larger stones, according to con- Yenience, No motion can be permitted among the stones which are to transmit the ultimate pressure to the rock in place, aad this can onl certainly accomplished ‘by filling up ail interstices with a solid mass. THE USE OF Woop. Where the rock is still worse, so that timber- ing becomes necessary to the safety of the miners, the present plan is to insert such beams as may be needed, and leave them in position. The board advises the removal of all wood when practicable; and when not, to bed it in a solid mass of concrete or rubble, filling all voids. Finally, the case of over head falis of Took producing’extensive dome-like cavities, is Presented. Fortunately these are not common, only two of very large size being reported, THE WORST CAVE IN. The board visited the site of the worst one. It extended thirty-one feet along the axis of the tunnel and the fall had crushed the timbering and temporarily imprisoned the men at work. ‘The cavity had been at once filled with about forty cords of wood laid up as well as possible from the bottom and the tunnel had been lined fora length of fitty-two feet with brick. The Space between the brick arch and the work in Place on the sides had_ been filled in with ar; Stone packed as closely as possible, | While it is probable that wood in such positions will be covered ultimately by water, this will not be true until the tunnel is filled, and in the mean- me dry rot may be at work among this wood, as wasseen tobe the case with the beams 1a several localities. Besides, the wood cannot be trusted to, rasist the ‘pressure tending Yo rupture the brick~‘when the tunnel is filled. The board therefore considers that before the work is completed all wooden backing should be replaced by solid masonry by means ofauxillary drifts run over the tunnel and filled solid 'W.th masonry; orby a new tunnel around the site of the cave, filling up the pres- ent tun or by asbaft sunk at Es IamaR aR ove S BY ssSent "QUE POINTS OF GREATEST PRESSURE. In Rock creek and Foundry creek valleys which have points where the ground is 135 and 50 feet respectively below the water face in. the reservoir, and where the unb: anced pressures will probably reach 58 aud 21 junds per square inch, ail the lining aad yking wherever the rock is not unchanging and impermeable should be done with the greatest care in the most substantial way and ‘with mortar rich in cement. THE NEW RESERVOIR. ‘The inspection of the new reservoir satisfied the board that the work is proceeding in an entirely satisiactory manner as proposed by the special board of 1885, and no changes are Fecommended, ‘The total length of the tunnel will be 20,700 feet when completed, and the regate length then lined will be about TSo00. fect. 4 the present time 1,740 feet have been lined and 1178 feet Limbered.
