Ash of San bas at SPEAKER CARLISLE’S TASK. Hard at Work atthe Capitol Making up His Committee List. DIFFICULTIES WHICH HE ENCOUNTERS—HOW BRST TO USE THE RAW MATERIAL—MORE TROUBLE WITH ‘THE MINOR COMMITTEES THAN THE MORE IMPOR TANT ONES—THE LABOR AND LIQUOR QUESTIONS, Speaker Carlisle was at the Capitol a short time to-day working on his committee list. There 1s Probably no place where he would be less lable to interruption by members just now. Only three or four members get up to the Capitol any time dur- ing the day, There will be many disappointments ‘when the committees are finally announced. The Speaker finds tt difficult to arrange things to his own satisfaction. ‘The claims of the old members Tender it difficult for him to dispose of the “raw material” inghe form of new members, and not- withstanding all his study of this “raw matertal” nets not yetcertain what part of the super- ‘structure each member was designed for. He has @ purpose in the construction of the committees beyond th» mere placing of members where they ‘Would like to be and causing a degree of satistac- tion by the result. THE REAL QUESTION THAT PRESENTS ITSELF is how each committee can be constructed so as toaccomplish or defeat certain things; it 13 to construct the Committers so as to shape a certain policy for the House. The Speaker has absolute power in this, and can name whom he wants for any committee. But he has to select from the material before him, and it 1s that which annoys him more than th: pressure and influence of In- dividual members. It is diMcult to get material enough of the sort desired to go around, and his want of knowledge of the new members makes It So that he cannot be absolutely sure of his com. mittee after it 1s made, THE LESS IMPORTANT COMMITTEES GIVING HIM MOST TROUBLE. He has found but little difticulty in getting the material he desired for the ways and means and appropriations committees, but some of the less Important committees are giving him more trou. ble Tue State Department has a direct policy it desires to be carried out in the House, and wants & committee on foreign affairs in xccord. Mr, Bel- mont, as chairman of the committee, will be the exponent of th s policy, but there ts difficulty in the way of getting a committee with a majority certain at all times to work In accord with him. As to the committee on Pacific railroads, there 1s. something of the sam- trouble. The Administra- ton has a positive policy with relation to the set- tlement with the Pacific ratlroads, which 1t is [he posed shail be car fed out by this Congress. ‘The object 13 to get men on the committee who have ‘the will and the strength to carry out this policy. One of the men most r lied on in this Work has deen already disposed of vy being placed at the head of the elections committee. There are but few others into whose hands the Speaker and the President would \ike fo see the work placed. It is. bell-ved Co be settled Lhat Mr, Outhwaite, Who has. been a gudent of the question under Judge Thur- mn, has been seiected as chairman of the com- mittee, — But to fill up the list under him 1s not an easy task, During the last Congress the committee on edu- Cation Was so constracted as tokeep the Blair edu- cational bill under their tabe, where it could do no harm. Such another committee 1s a thing desired much, bul there 18 a question as to some politic means of getting it. Tuere Will be propositions for changes in the banking and currency laws submitted by the Tre sury, Controller of Curreney Trenholm had a mass of Information on the subject: which he held over from last Congress because he did not care to produce it at Cue tali end of the session, when there was no chance of action on it. All this Will go before th »comrnittee on banking and currency, and Would like to be sure of a friendly reception, LABOR AND LIQUOR, A labor comuiittee that won't bring out any “dangerous” labor propositions and will wisely know when to go fast and when to lag, 13 a thing the Speaker Is trying hard to construct out of un- suitable matertal, One of the most unimportant of all the commit tees Is said to be causing Dim great uneasiness. It is the committee on alcoholic liquor trafic. There is a great danger that (hat committee may report to the House some prohibition measure upon which it would be the policy of the party and the desire of members not to commit themselves. This ts uite a serious question, and the more dificult to &e al with from the t that but few menivers: would consent to serve on the committee on ac- count of the way 1t would force them into the pro- hibition question. ‘To Regulate Emigration. STRINGENT PROVISIONS OF A BILL TO BE INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE FORD. Representatlve Ford, of Michigan, has a bill which he intends to introduce in the House after the holiday recess, providing that after the 1st of October, 1888, each and every immigrant who shall be about to come to the United States shall undergo an tnspection and examination by a con- sular representative of the United States at tne place or port from which he embarks, and shall procure a certifeate that he 1s not ao indigent per- Son, pauper, convict, or ex-convict for other than tical offenses; that he 1s not about to perform labor under contract previously entered into, di- rectly or ind.rectly; tuat ne ts Of good moral character, abd wants to become a citizen of the United Slites. ‘Tuese examinations are to be con- Qucted: unter, rales rep ired by the Becrotary: of State.

Whether the Chinese eventually gave Way In (he matter, or whether the Coreans leit fn spite of Uareats twat China would declare War tI her injunctions were disregarded, 1s not known, On the way down the Omaha met a Squadron of Chinese men-ot-war bound to Chemulpo, but Wuether on a peaceful mission or to support Cnina’s authority over Corea was, of ‘se, hot known, The Corean flag was hoisted i¢ Omaua as they passed. ‘The embassy is composed as follows: Mr, Pak Chun Yun, m bister plenipotentiar; ‘ir. ¥1 Wun Yun, fir-t Secretary of legation; Mr. '¥1 Chan Yun, inierpreter; Mr. Kang Chin He, private secretary to the minister; Mr. YI Hyon Yun, private secre- tary to the first secretary of legation; Mr. Yi Ha Yung, second secretary of legation; ‘Mr. Yi Sang: Jay, third secretary of legation, and Mr, H.

A LETTER TO PAY INSPECTOR STEVENSON BY THR ‘couRT. ‘Frank Canfeeld, a former clerk tn the Steam En- gineerlog Department, was a witness yesterday before the court of inquiry which is investigating alleged irregularities in the navy-yard. Being asked by the Judge-advocate to tell what he knew about the removal of lumber from the navy-yard ‘A few days after the auction sale and a short tme after Carpenter Ward had been detached from the yard, Mr. Stevenson said to me in office: ‘Mr. Canifeld, this man Ward tached, and he may make trouble for me, a8 he knows about Unat lumber business, make a oo! of himself at times, done so in regard to this lumber, but toget @ bill of sale for it from Some contractor, and in this way clear that up.’ I was much s prise | when I heard the pay-inspector talk mannef, and can account for it only from w that he Supposed Ward bad told me the story.” ‘Mr. Stevenson did not appear to the witness, but he sent @ communication ing that tiie, witness be, recalled.

Telegrams to The Star. a urstony or tae coxrnovansy setwaex tus ois-/ THE IRISH LANDLORDS ANGRY TRICT COMMISSIONERS AND THE LOT-HOLDERS OF PROSPECT CEMRTERY—WHAT COL. LUDLOW SaYS. ‘There appears to be a division of sentiment ‘among officers and lot-owners of the Prospect Hill Cemetery respecting the extension of North Capi- tol street through property belonging tothe ceme- tery association. At a meeting last night of a number of directors of the association who repre- Sent What is called the independent lot-owners, It was decided to oppose the proposed street exten- ston. Mr. W. F. Mattingly has been retained as legal adviser. The consummation of the plan to extend the street has already been delayed by legal action begun by Mrs, Barbour, an owner of Property on the line of the extension, who objected to proceedings instituted to condemn a right of way through her property. GEN. BOYNTON'S CRITICISM. ‘The action of the Commissioners respecting this Proposed street extension Is made the subject of a letter to the Cincinnatt Commercial-Gazette by Gen. H. V. Boynton, who criticises the Engineer Commissioner, Col, Ludiow. Gen, Boynton charges tht Col. Ludiow, without authority, sent a force of workmen to tear down the fence of the German burying-ground and cut away the trees within along the line of the py extension. He states tiat the contemplated extension cuts through and destroys about 500 burial lots. He quotes Col Ludlow as Saying that “there ts noth. ing in the way of my plan but @ little German cemetery.” ‘A DENIAL BY COI. LUDLOW. Col. Ludlow to-day said toa Stak reporter that Gen, Boynton’s let(er, in every instance where tt Purported to give facts, misrepresented them. The language attributed to him, he said, ne had never used; his only statement respecting’ the proposed extension was that made in uts aunual report. THE PACTS AS STATED AT THE COMMISSIONERS’ OFFICE. ‘The facts concerning the proposed street exten- ston, as learned by a Stax reporter at the District Commissioners’ office, are as follows: Upon recelv- {ng a petition from property owners interested, the Commissioners proceeded in_ the manner _p1 Seribed by law for opening new roads. Those wio had objections to make were Invited to appear ut the District Comiissioners’ office on # given day. At the tme named a number of those ‘Interested, including several offl- clals of the cemetery aszociation, were present, Dut hone of them had any objection to mnake. ‘Subsequently Mrs. Barbour appeared und made objection. Although her torial objection Was made after the time fixed by advertisement, aud was to that extent irregular, the Commis Stoners decided to regard it as formal and regular, s'she had previously indicated her intention 3 make such objection, Hence, in accordance with the provisions of law, the Comiisstoners took steps to have a jury Summoned to cousider the damages that mizht be done to Mrs. Barbour's Property by the proposed extension. Mrs. Barbour thereupon appited to the court and obtalned A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION to stop the condemuation proceedings, A legal dificulty arose from the fact that the act incor- Porating the cemetery forbade the opening of a Toad through the property of tue corporation ex- clusively appropriated to the purpose of a ceme- To avoid the necessity of obtatuing Con. gressional legislation, officers. of the association Voluatartly tiled at the survesor’s office a new sub division of the 17 acres owned by Ue cemetery, reserving tne WO acres on one side of the line of “Norta Capitol street to cemetery Purposes and dividing Ue seven acres on the oler side of the line 1nto buliding lots, This, 1 wos tuouzht, removed the legai objection, ‘Tae line of extension, It 13 stated In the engineer's offica Passed trough a portion of tue property that La never actually beeu used as a burylng-ground, no burials having been made in it, abd wulcb, under the new subdivision, Is no longer reserved for bur lal purposes.

The renting of the Miller build- ing by the Comtaissioners gave great satsifaction to the colored citizens, and 1 was, therefore, with deep regret tht we learned that the Mary’ Hall house, with its terrible surroundings, had also at the same time been rented for the Industrial and Cooking schools, Now, gentlemen, as the Miller butlding was in tended to accommodate all of the graded schools in the eighth division and the Industrial and Cooking schools, and was urged tu be rented by ‘the colored citizens for that reason, and especially iu order that the Mary Hall house would not be rented for any public school, J now have the honor to st that the Commissioners permit the Miller buiiding to be used for the two schouis proposed to be sent to the old Mary Hall house.
