THE PLATE-PRINTING CONTEST. Conclusion of the Hearing Before the Senate Committee. THE CHIEF OF THE SECRET SERVICE SAYS THAT THE WORK OF THE STEAM PRESSES AFFORDS GREATER OPPORTUNITY TO THE COUNTER- FEITERS—A LIVELY DISCUSSION. Senators Hiscock and Harris, as a finance subcommittee, gave the final hearing to-day in the controversy between Mr. Graves, the chief of the bureau of engraving and printing, and the ae as as tothe talative merits of the work done by hand and steam-presses. Chief Bell, ofthe Cioran’ | secret service, was the only witness examined, and he testified that there was no counterfeiting of silver certi- cates until the steam-press and modern methods made such a thing possible. He called the attention of the committe to the worn ae of silver certificates which had only _ been circulation avery short time. This appearance of age was one of the things taken advantage of by the counterfeiters; they prepared their paper 80 as to make it appear worn and the indistinctness of the impression and the creases and torn edges coverea a multitude of defects which would be visible in a new bill. MR, RALSTON, FOR THE PLATE PRINTERS, followed Mr. Bell, and claimed in his summing- up that the great weight of the testimony went to prove that the steam presses were doing in- ferior work. The closing argument was by Mr. Graves, and in this he strove to make plain to the com- mittee that the steam-press was as good an in- strument for the production of currency as the hend-press ever was, The committee have not as yet come to any conclusion, and the effect of the argu- ments can hardly be estimated. After the committee had adjourned there was quite a warm discussion, in which Chief Bell, Mr. Graves, Mr. Ralston and the two plate printors, Messrs. Kearney and Jor- don, participated. 'Mr. Graves said that some of the specimens of work which had been ex- hibited by the plate printers were unfair—they were carefully selected he thought. This warmed Mr. Jordan up a little and he retorted: ‘‘You can get anything you want;you can get it made to order, We have to get our samples out of the circulation.” ‘MR. GRAVES SEEMED TO BE ANNOYED in at the position taken in the matter by Chief Bell, but that official stated very emphatically that he did not care two cents whether the bills were printed by hand or by steam; what the secret service wanted was bills thaé could not be easily counterfeited. MAMr. Graves, speaking of the controversy with a Stam reporter, said that it was easily seen that the oaly reason why the plate-printers opposed the steam-presses was a selfish one, The general adoption of steam-presses would cause a temporary slackness in work. The pits petatere on the other hand insisted that they other than selfish motives; they had a craft pride, which was hurt by the WHOLESALE PRODUCTION OF BAD WORK. They also intimated that their conduct was capable of more easy explanation than that of . Graves, who was, they claimed, acting as ‘an agent for the steam-press makers, Chief Bell talked of the matter for some time with a Stan reporter, and inthe course of the chat he reiterated the statement that he had no interest, one way or another, in the present struggle. What he wanted an what ie asked for was a return to the note-printing methods of twenty-five years ago, when bills were so cerefully printed that ittook a skilled engraver at least a year to produce a single plate. The supposed improvements in the later issues had made things so easy for counterfeiters that only recently a French photagrsplise, who was @ poor engraver, had. by the photographic rocess, engraved the box-wood blocks for the ‘1 and $5 silver certificates, The old notes had in them several colors and tints and each tint required a separate plate and a separate impression; this made counter- feiting A WORK OF EXTREME DIFFICULTY. Now the tints had been removed and the notes could be photographed, something not possible before because the _tint-work could not be caught by the instruments. He wanted the bills ited in the highest — of art~something that was not now done. He produced a number of speci- mens of genuine and counterfeit notes, and showed how. a genuine note that had only been in circulation eight months was a worse looking than a counterfeit bill. Senator His- cock, when shown the two, and asked to make his selection, unhesitatingly E comer up the counterfeit. Chief Bell said he had received a number of letters from bankers and merchants as to the quality of the paper and the workmanship on the new silver certificates. He said, however, that the banks had not as yet been very great sufferers by the counterfeits because counterfeiters do not push their money on banks; they get rid of it by making pur- chases of small merchants, and then securing good money as change. It’ was, he said, the poor people who suffered from the miserable work done on the silver certificates, pach casa acca DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. PAVING suvarra — pereicened s Capt.

BEAVER’S OFFER. A Troop of Cavalry to Keep the Streets Clear March 4. OTHER INAUGURATION MATTERS—YOCAL CLUBS AND THE BALL—VISITORS TO THE MONUMENT. Gen. Beaver, the grand marshal of the in- augural parade, will come here on the 22d inst., to remain here until after the inauguration. His headquarters will be at the Riggs House. Gen. Beaver has offered to the District au- thorities, through Chairman Britton, the use of a troop of calvary to assist in keeping the streets clear, These men have had experience in this line, and Chairman Britton thinks that they would prove very useful as adjuncts to the police force, especially in such localities as the vicinity of the Peace monument, where there is apt to bea jam. Mr. Britton has informed Commissioner Wheatley of this offer. CAMPAIGN SINGING CLUBS. Chairman Britton receives a great many sug- gestions which are intended to assist him in | making the inauguration a success. A large |nmumber of the singing clubs formed | during the campaign have an idea that Gen- ; eral Harrison and those who attend the | ball would be delighted’ to listen to some ex- hibition of their vocal powers, Many of these clubs have acquired considerable reputation in their localities, and Chairman Britton has con- cluded that unless some discrimination is made between them that it would be imj ible to give them a place on the rogram 0 the in- augural ball. If all the clubs that have asked | the privilege of taking part be gratified, Chair- | man Britton has calculated that the ball would continue for about a week instead of one even- ing as now contemplated by the committee. In consequence of this calculation he has reached the conclusion with some regret that it will be impossible to have any singing at the inaug- ural ball. QUARTERS FOR THE CROWD. The committee on public comfort receive each day a igrge number of applications from individuals in various parts of the coun- try for quarters in this city. The or- ganizations intending to take part in the inaugural de have _ nearl: all been located, and from this time the wor! of the committee will principAlly be the secur- ing of rooms for individ There is still plenty of room left, and all applications are romptly answered. It is one. o! eatures of the inaugural rep: that a work of this kind is undertaken ried out with such success. However distant a (aban may live from this city, he can be sure y writing to the committee of finding a com- ‘ations fortable place to stay during the inauguration period, THE MONUMENT WILL BE OPEN TO INAUGURATION VISITORS, Col. John M. Wilson, commissioner of public buildings and grounds, said to a Star reporter this morning that the Washington monument will be kept open to visitors during the inau- guration m. He says that he e: te there will be a great crowd of visitors, and that it will be a difficult task to provide for, them with the force at the monument, but the law directing the opening of the shaft to visitors permits nothing but that it shall be kept open at such a time equally with the other public laces, The working capacity of the elevator is insufficient to accommodate one-fifth of the visitors who will probably present themselves, and great numbers will undoubtedly have to climb the stairs.

The cabinet gossips are still discussing the one topic that absorbs their interest. They are writing names on paper and looking at the list, heads om one side, and with &@ cock-eyed expression. One list reads: THEY ASK FOR EQUAL PAY. A Petition from School Teachers Sent to the Senate To-day. The following petition signed by 266 of the Public school teachers of the District was sent to Senator Ingalls to-day as President pro tem. of the Senate: “The undersigned, teachers in the public schools of the District of Columbia, beg leave to respectfully represent: “That great inequality exists in the salaries of teachers performing the same or similar work in the same grade, which results from the fact that formerly teachers were allowed longevity pay—an imerease of @50 being paid foreach year until a maximum amount was reached. Two or three years ago, however, the system of longevity pay was abolished, leaving teachers of the same grade at salaries of different amounts, as they happened to fall at that time. This unequal and unjust condi- tion of salaries still exists, and. as we are in- formed, there is mo redress except through legislation. “That, in some instances, teachers of less ex- perience are receiving ter pay than those of more experience or longer service, though perfor work in the same grade school. “That. although has enacted a pro- vision that there ll be no inequality in the salaries of teachers on account of sex, such discrimination is still made in some in- “scithat under the present system some teach “That under the some ere who ere principals of building, receive less pay than others of the same grade who are not rincipals, notwithstanding int principals ve greater responsibilities,involving a super- vision of the discipline of all the schools in the building, and much clerical labor, besides the charge of their own pupils. “We further represent that owing to the | insufticiéney of the appropriations of "85 and *86 a deduction was made from the salaries of Sper cent at one time and one-sixth of 1 per | cent at another. “In view of what your petitioners believe to be inequalities in their. compensation and un- justness in the deduction from their salaries of the —— mentioned, they beg to invite your favorable considerstion with a view of the enactment of further remedial legislation without diminishing the pay of those teachers who now receive the higher salaries of their respective grades, and a specific appropriation for the reimbursement of all the moneys de- ducted from their salaries.” One of the copies of the petition circulated for signatures, a Stan reporter was informed, | has been destroyed or lost. No signatures | were obtained in one division, it is stated, be- cause school officials advised teachers not to sign it. aint The Panama Resolution. | A MINORITY REPORT FORTHCOMING FROM THE HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE. The Edmunds Panama resolution which was | recommitted to the House committee on foreign affairs was taken up by that committee | to-day, ona request made by a member that | he be allowed to present a minority report. } It appears that the outspoken opposition to the | resolution, which was confined to Mr. Russell, | of Massachusetts, when the resolution was first ordered to be favorably is grow- ing more pronounced. It was Mr. Norwood, of Georgia, who had prepared the minority report above referred to, and other mem- bers of the committee, impressed by the arguments made by Messrs. ¢Russeil | and Norwood, are showing signs of a change of | heart. The committee was obliged to adjourn | this morning without allowing an expression of | opinion, and therefore it was not decided whether the minority should be permitted to file a minority report or should be compelled to take its chance of — known its views in the debate on the floor of the House. The Three Americas’ Exposition. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. The House committee on foreign affairs to- day resolved to make an effort to secure a night session of the House for the consideration of the various exposition and celebration bills al- ready reported. It was agreed that the object sought to be attained by the passage of the three Americas’ exposition bill would be pro- moted by the attachment of an amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill appropriat- ing $25,000 to defray the expenses of sending agents to other American nations to secure their participation in that exposition. An amendment will accordingly be offered at the proper time. LOCAL NOTES. Nelson Bell, colored, twenty-three years old, wis found dead in bed at his home, No. 608 D laware avenue, this morning.

The District Commissioners, when asked about the matter to-day, said that although they had an intimation of the state of affairs, they had never been informed of it ir. but just as soon as the matter is brought ‘4 their attention they will order an investigation. It is understood that the resolution is based = the fact that the management of the ‘ashington foundling hospital has refused to admit and care for colored foundlings, Con- gress has made appropriation to aid in the sup- port of that institution. AT THE HOSPITAL. At the Washington foundling hospital to-day a Sram reporter was informed by the matron that at present they had no colorea ward, and she was not permitted to receive colored foundlings. Men had been there, she said, to make measurements and estimates for adding colored ward, and she expected that provision would be made for them, . WHAT A MANAGER SAYS. Mr. M. M. Parker, a member of the board of managers of the Foundling hospital, said to « Stan reporter to-day: “There has been no dis- crimination made against colored foundlii Up toavery recent date the hospital has been full and there has been no accommodation. Since there has been room no applications have come in for the admission oF colored foundlings that I have heard of. Last year Congress appropriated 25,000 to build a colored wi The board was unable to get any plans for a building within that amount, and so the money Will lapse into the U. 8. it provision was made for the occom: of children there would be no reason for refusing to admit any because of lack of room.” WHAT THE VISITING COMMISSION SAID. In relation to the Washington hospital for foundlings the report to the commissioners made recently by the visiting Commission— Rev. W. A. Bartlett, Mrs. Mary J. Stroud, Mrs, Florence Cairnes and Dr. Charles A. Bacon— says: “The edifice occupied by this charity is new, ample, well equipped for the best service. The morning on which your committee made their examination there were nine (9) mfante under care, one having died the same morning. ‘The appropriation for expenses last year was $7,000, and €5,000 was given for the of building a colored ward on the adjacent va- cant ground. There is at present the best accommodation for fifty foundlings, The committee are of the inion that the second story should be occupied for a col- ored ward, leaving the first story for the white children, and that the six foundlings should be | taken at once from the ‘National Association for the Relief of Destitute Colored Women and Children,’ for whose care Congress has appro- Priated 1,000, and for whom adequate accom- modations caunot be afforded where they are; and that the found: be gathered from the almshouse ag well, and fill the vacancies in this ably officered and equipped institution. All the apparent difficulties in regard to nurses and management on account of color are fully and satisfactorily answered in the success of the ‘Children’s hospital.’ The present accom- modations should be fuily occupied before any mioney is expended for a ne’ edifice.” ————— Frozen to Death. THE BODY OF AN OYSTERMAN FOUND ON THE BOAT BUO-EYR. Washington East, an oysterman employed on the Bug-Eye, J. B. Faunce. lying at the foot of 10th street, was found dead in the cabm of the boat about noon to-day. Fast was out with a party of friends last evening and when he re- turned to the boat about 7 o'clock it is said that he was under the influence of liquor. He had several feet to jump from the wharf to the boat and in doing so he went overboard. He cried for help several times and then he cried “mur- "His cries were answered by some col- ored men on the Great Falls Ice company's wharf, who went to his assistance and rescued him from what would soon have been a watery grave. When lifted to the boat he was asked if he any dry cl and an- swered in the affirmative. of the men offered to make a fire in the stove for him,but he declined the offer and said he would build one himself. He went into the cabin and that was the last seen of him. As he did not appear on the wharf this morning something wrong was suspected and a visit was paid to the boat. East had taken off his coat and attempted to cover himself on the bed,but he had not succeeded. His wet cloth- ing were still on his body. An examination showed that he was dead, having been frozen t death during the night. The body was re- | moved to the morgue and the coroner was noti- fied. Deceased was about forty-five years old and had been in Capt.Faunce’s employ for sev- eral years. Some months ago there was a fire —— and East came near smothering to —_——-.
