CITY _AND DISTRICT. WEST WASHINGTON OPPOSES IT. ‘The Propesed Plan of Government Discussed at a Public Meeting. MR. JON LEETCH ALONE VOTES TO ENDORSE THE RIEL—MESSKE, MITCHELL, GORDON, AND GREENLEES TELL WHY THEY AKE OPPOSED TO IT. ‘Thecttizens of West Washington responded last night to the number of a score or more to an invi- tation to meet at 1251 High street and diswuss the report and bill now pending before the Citizens’ Committee of One Hundred. Mr. John T. Mitebell presided, and Dr. Ritebie acted as secretary. Dr. Kitchie made himself quite hoarse reading the long Feport of the select committee of one hundred for ‘the Information of the gathering, and Mr. Mitchell relieved him of the task of reading the bill, Mr. Joa Stak® opened the discussion, He knew, he sald, that it would please many to return tothe old system, but he was totally opposed to any- thing like suffrage, unless with a qualification. He thought Congress had been very liberal to the District, and it would not redound to their interest to make any material change in the form of gov- ernment, WR LEETCH FAVORS THE REPORT. ‘Mr. John Leetch moved to indorse the report. He sald he Was at a loss to see how any good citl- gens Who gave thought tothe matter could find much fault with the recommendations of the re port. While the, report did not. propose suffrewe, for lls part he had views on that subject. He thought they should be ashamed to have mea tell the people Of the District that they should not have the right to suffrage because they were inca- PORE of exercising it property and imuelligentiy, if the same principle of government were Ba | to the states as ts applied here it would giv toa rebellion within a month. Mr. George W. King asked whether the fifteen counctl districts were divided off according to population or area. fr. Mitehell said he thought thetr boundaries were fixed by their area. Mr. King suggested that it was not fair togive West Washington but one representative in the connetl, Mr. J. G. Waters said that an amendment would be offered tn the Committee of One Hundred to give West Washington two representatives, Mr. King sald that he thought they should have more than two. Mr. Craig said the Bilt did not provide that the (Comitissioner shouid be a resident of the District. Mr. Mitchell tought it di, but after looking It over failed 10 find any such provisiow, and re marked, “That's so; be may come from Kam- WHY MR. MITCHELL OFPosES 17. Mr. Mitchell spoke at some length in opposition to the report. In his experience with the District government, he sald ne had foundone exceedingly sore spot, and that was the neer Commis- sioner. He thought that all the trouble had grown Oat of that Engineer Commissioner. While he had no persobol qrievance against any officer who lind served in that eapactty, he Was well satisfied that all the distrust and dissatisfaction grew out Of the fret of having @ military oMfcer as a Com- Iuissioner, ‘He thought that was the. principal | diticulty with the present form of government. To have one Commissiouer and a council of fifteen he | Said was to multiply their troubles by five. | He | Was sure that if the Angel Gabriel and an angelic court came down to govern tile District of Coi- | umbia they would have difculty.

While it might ve, Mr. Mitchell continued, hata portion of the imouey, was injudiciously ex nded, still the results justified all the expendi- ware aud more, In 1871 the value of real esiate in the District held by private owners was $50,000,- 0, Now it hat 'B Lo $138,000,000. This Lad Deen accomplished under the present form of gov- erament. He referred to the large appropriations for the parks, for the river front improvements, | for the courts, and for maintaly Various Instl- tutions “for which the citizefs of the Dis trict were not taxed. He thought that the charge that the United States’ was unjust tae District was unfounded. The report, he sald, contained much ancient history, and Bis conclusion was that what was proposed Wo be done was not worth the candle, There was not enough im It to justify the change or the risk. ‘There was no question that when they asked Con- gress for extended privileges they would have Taised against them the large number in Congress who believed that the Government was mor" l1b~ eral than Just to the District, and were only wait ing for an opportunity to make a change. The taree Commimstoners now had the agvantage, he said, of the advice and assistance of the various Officers at the heads of the different Departments, se they could acquaint themselves with the needs Of the District. ‘There was not the necessity here incil to go to to inquire as to the needs or hecessities of the people. He did not think there Was any citizen who had gope to the Commission- fs to seek Information who had not been pleas | antly and courieousiy received, He would except | only one particular Commissioner. H ‘OUt Of the 107 citizens interviewed by THE Star | and including many of the best citizens, he found | that ninety Were against change, seven were in favor of the proposed we, Luree were in doutt and five orsix bad mot read the bil He thought it could be very safely stated that the Feat majority of good citizens were opposed to the cl , and would rather avold the dangers Umely to be'prought about by an agitation of the matter. Mr. Leetch insisted that there would be no risk at ali of losing the support now derived from ‘the United States. It did not propose to enlarge the ers of the District government. As to the bor improvement, the Government was doing here oniy What it Was doing in navigable rivers ot the states. He would ratuer, he said, entrust bis interests and the future interests of the District to fifteen citizens, composing a council, than to two citizens. Tuey were not raising the question of suffrage at all. | MR. GORDON SEES NO GOOD IX IT. Mr. J. Holdsworth Gordon said he was unalter- | ably opposed to the proposed pian. He did not see that anything Would be accomplished by tt | save probably providing offices for fiteen | patrioticgentlemen who might think they could perform the duties of Commissioner better than the gentlemen now in office. ‘The only way tuey | could Judge of the uuility of any system was by the Tesuits accomplisued.

He was perfectly willing to entrust his luterests to two Commissioners. It was not neces the days of Esop, he said, wo tell: of Ube frogs and the stork Mr. Tenney agreed with Mr. Gordon, and was opposed to anything tending toward a ‘return to the oid system.

Mr. Archibald Greenlees satd he had never lived iu any city where be felt personal security so well protected and property so well guarded as in this eity. It was not a questien of suffrage only. He found that those who sustained the report were largely made up from the suffragtsts of the Dis trict." Was there any more representation in the Sppointmwent of iifteen tuan in the appointment of | three. He could not see ia any degree how the ap- pointment of sucha council wouid make any tm- provement.

A Boston special to the New York World says: Boston yachtsmen express surprise at the action of the English Yacht-Racing Aassociation in rul- ing out centerboards.

Mr. Burgess Was asked, “af Uuere Was any probability of a keel boat being Duilt ere and sent across.” Xo," he replied, “I think not.

A provinelal yachtsinan, who had fol- lowed Closely the Interiational racing and race correspondence of the late years, sald: “I think 1t Almost Impossible ior an American yacht to get anything like fair terms i Engilsu waters, ICs fact Cat Che English clubs alter their rules and allowances to burt a competitor when they think they Will be beaten. ‘The regatta committees, as @ rule, are fair, Dut the yacht-owners dictate ‘the ve to do as they say Or get noentries for their race.” a The Times of the ge recelved by Science rueger, of the Euro- in Union of Astronowicrs, aunolnces the dis covery of a naked-eye comet by Sawerthal, who 15 probably a resident of South Africa. ‘The object Was obsirved at Cape Town Feoruary 18, It has a Well-defued nucleus and a tall z degrees long.

Young Chandter’s Adventure. AN ALBANY BOY WHO WANDERED INTO A MINE PROS PRCTOR'S CAMP ON ils WAY HOME. From the Omaha Bee. ‘There stepped from the Unton Pacine Mer-land train yesterday morning a big rough-looking man, clad in a fur overcoat that reached to his heels, and whose head was surmounted by a bearsikin hat of enormous dimensions, He carried tn bis arms a hugé bundle of what appeared to be blank- ets, Dut when he reached the waiting-room he tenderly deposited it upon a settee and undid it. The hand-one face of a boy, perhaps twelve years of age, peeped out trom the Wrapping, and Ms rst wo! were, k, I am so hungry.” The big man hustled tnto ‘the "lunch-room and brought buck with him enough food to have rationed a weil army. With tender care he fed tbe lad and kept repeating, “The Frank, how do you like that?” Once in & while he would turn aside to wipe away oe tear oe his eye, and mutter audibly, “Poog vy wr boy.” ‘A ee reporter had a talk with the man, whose me was John Crothers. He told as pitiful a tale as Was ever printed. He sald: ‘Me and Sandy Johnson went up into Wyoming three years ago On a prospecting tour, and finally located at the head of Gooseberry Creek, in the Shoshone Range. About a year azo this lad whom you see here wandered into our camp and asked for food and shelter. Of course he got it. He wouldn't tell the his name nor where he was from. He only said he had been abused at home and had run away, Well, we kept him there and nick- ‘named hii ‘Cricket,’ because he was so spry like. He tsa queer lad, but had more nerve than any boy Lever saw. “about five weeks ago Sandy, my partner, was taken sick, and I started to go to Morrow's, a ttle place about 14 miles away, for a Coctor. It was about 4 o'clock in the afternoon when I started. ‘The snow was fully 2 feet deep and the cold was intense. I hadn’t gone more than a mile before I stepped into a hole that some one had built for a bear trap. It was fully 12 feet deep and had been covered over with light brush. In rained my ankle, and when I went toget up 1 found I couldn't stand, Well, I lay in that hole all that night and next day until 3 o'clock, and I can tell you it was anything Dut comfortable, I thought I ‘Would freeze to death, and just as Iwas about to er, up the face of the ‘Cricket’ appeared above. e Out a sort of a ladder, and, after many ie got to the ep “Then the boy fixed up a sort of a sled with two saplings and a me back to the shanty. {got there Sandy was delirious, and it was ry seen that he must have medical at- dance, ‘Cricket’ said he would go to Morrow’ up warm, z Manuscript Club. 1t has no club house, but meets ‘at the houses of three members, who are not only something in society, but more in amateur cal talent.
