The United States government will send an expedition to the west coast of Africa in De- cember to observe the solar eclipse to occur Dec. 21-22. The deficiency bill, which re- cently became a law, provides an appropriation of 25,000 to defray the expenses of the expedi- tion, or rather devoted to that object the $5,000 appropriated to pay the cost of expeditions to observe the January eclipse, but which became available too late on account of legislative de- lay to be used for that purpose. The Navy department has appointed a com- mission composed of Capt. BR. L. Phythian, superintendent of the naval observatory, Prof. Simon Newcomb, and Prof. Asaph Hail to devise a plan and make recommendations respecting the expenditure of the appropriation. The first steps to be taken by this commission will be to communi- cate with the United States consulaz officers on the coast of Africa to ascertain the usual con- ditions of the weather in December. This in- formation is important in determining the loca- tion of observing stations. It is preferred to have the stations on the coast, as it is healthier there; but if the conditions there are unfavora- ble for observing, the parties may be sent inland. The reports received from consular officers will also be of value in determining the number of observing parties to be sent, The instru- ments to be used are in the possession of the government at the naval observatory. A small expense wiil be involved in putting them in a proper condition, An examination of the oe or belt of the eclipse as charted in the ‘Nautical Almanac shows that the Guinea coast about the only place where an expedition would be sent with fair promise of success, The belt within which the eclipse will be total ex- tends across the continent of Africa and, pass- ing over the Atlantic ocean, just grazes the northeast coast of South America. There is an island off the coast of French Guiana almost in the center gof the belt, but the eclipse occurs there MMittle after sun- rise, when the conditions for observing will be unfavorable. The period of totality there is only about two minutes. On the Guinea coast the eclipse occurs between 12 and 3 o'clock, and the period of totality, the most important time for observers, is about three minutes. The expeditions going out will be in the field two or three weeks before the eclipse, 80 as to pro- vide time for selecting the best positions and for setting up instruments, ee merges Lass Reported for THE EVENING Star. Crrx Couscrt.—The city council held an ad- fourned mecting last night. President Mar- ury and Aldermen McKenzie, Leadbeater, Bryant and Burke made a quorum of the upper board, and H. Snowden, president pro tem., and Messrs, W. 8. Moore, C. A. Moore, Aitche: ; Son, Fisher, Corbett, Hinken, Waddy, Strider, Bayneand Kelly were present in the lower board. Manager McGowan, of the Postal telegraph cable, made a statement relative to that com- pany’s designs and prospects in reference to Alexandria, and both boards concurred in committing to the street committee the appli: cation to put up a new line of poles on the streets. The street committee was authorized to present at the next meeting an ordinance covering the matter. Mr. A. J. Wedderburn, publisher of “Progress,” made application for an order directing the publication of the city ordinance, council proceedings, advertise- ments, &c., in his paper, and the ‘subject was referred to the finance committee. An appli- cation of Superintendent Thompson, of the Midland railroad, for permission to connect across King street both of the tracks of the Midland road on Union street was referred to the street committee, with power to act. On the application of 8. B. Stoutenburg and others the committee on streets was author- ized to lay a pavement on the sidewalk on the south side of the court-house square under the aving law. Atanearly hour the boards ad- journed, i ALexanprians Hurt.—Mr. Lev. Finks and Mr. Wm. Breen, of this city, were injured on the Midland railroad last night, but not seri- ously.

One, a whole square of ground, on Madison, Henry, Fayette and Wythe streets, 247 by 300 feet, sold at $270 sub- ject to thirteen years taxes, and a half — 247 by 150 feet on Payne, West and Wythe streets, sold for $305. The property was bought by Mr. 8. G. Brent. This ground is sold in case of Alexander vs, Alexander, and it was ited by the King Charles II, in 1669 to Capt. flowson and the same year transferred to Alexander family in whose possession it has been ever since.

Tue Stax has heretofore referred to the com- Plication of clauses in the appropriation bill re- lative to theSburial of existing overhead wires, and has printed Assistant Attorney Davis’ opinion as to the power of the Commissioners to grant permits. It is well known that the Engineer Commissioner's views on this subject are not in accord with those of the other Com- missioners. The opinion of Mr. Davis having been submitted to him for review be has sub- mitted the following report- To the Commissioners of the District of Columbic Gentlemen: I have the honor to_return here- with the appheation of Mr. A.M. Renshaw, eneral manager of the United States electric ighting company, dated February 26, 1859, fora —= to construct underground conduits for electric lighting in certain streets of Wash- ington and Georgetown, and to submit for the consideration of the board a form of permit for the same. The permit has been made to conform to the <= of the assistant attorney of the District March 20, 1889, by the omission of such part of the route applied for as is considered to pro- vide for an extension beyond existing lines. As the board is aware, I do not think it is de- sirable, in the public interest, to issue this per- mit at the present time, and I take this oc sion to state briefly the reasons for my opinion. Existing law compels the Commissioners to contract with the United States electric light- ing company for all public electric lighting. The conductors employed for this purpose must all be placed under September 30, 1889, The officers of this com- pany have placed themselves on record in the most positive manner as opposed to the opera- tion of are lights by underground wires. They say that “the danger from electric-light wires is greatly augmented by placing them under- ground,” and they claim that there is increased labllity of shocks, explosions and fire when they are so placed. ey further remark that they have been unable to discover any le that is practicable for are lighting. Believing as I do that a limited high-tension underground system of municipal lighting such as is required in this District can be operated successfully and safely if properly constructed and supervised, I consider it the duty of the board to insist that the contract for electric lighting for the coming year shall contain such conditions as will insure such proper coustrac- tion and supervision. The board has not yet determined what these conditions should be. The subject of the electric lighting contract for the coming year has not received the slightest consideration, yet more than three months be- fore the contract can legally be made it is pro- posed to give this company a permit to tear up the public streets and make permanent con- structions in them which will not be required and ought not to be allowed unless the coutract is made, If the construction of these conduits is per- mitted the Commissioners will be almost forced to agree to such conditions as may be satisfac- tory to the company instead of remaining free to insist upon such conditions as they may sider desirable for the public safety or con ence, It appears to me that we have no right to bind either ourselves or our successors in this manner. The appropriation act allows until September 30, 1889, to place underground the wires em- loyed for public lighting. This provision was rawn and recommended by me, and my avowed object was to give the company time to bury their wires after the contract was entered into. I presume, therefore, that Congress in- troduced this provision with a similar inten- tion. The price of 60 cents per light per night for light operated by underground wires is rela- tively much higher than the price of 40 cents per light for a light operated overhead, the in- creased cost of operating underground being probably somewhat less than one-half the dif- ference between these prices, as shown by re- cent reports. The company very naturally wants to commence to operate underground as soon as possible, but this should not be per- mitted at the public expense, and ought not to be expected, for the company is to receive high prices, and it has exclusive privileges without competition and without payment of rental—conditions which I believe do not exist in any other important city in the United States. Being satisfied, however, from previous dis- cussions that the majority of the board will not agree with me in these views, I have the permit for immediate issue and I have in- troduced in it such conditions as seem neces- sary to guard the public interests as far as practicable under the circumstances. Some of these conditions require a few words of ex- planation. The first and second conditions do not call for remark. The third condition gives the Commissioners the — to exercise control over the electrical conductors within the con- duits and is absolutely necessary for the public safety. The fourth condition makes the permit revocable at the pleasure of the Commission- ers, and further provides for the removal of the conductors and the disposition of the con- duits in case of revocation, All permits heretofore issued for under- ground wires have been made revocable at the pleasure of the Commissioners, but this condi- tion is of little or no value, since no method of procedure is indicated by which session of the conduits can be acquired. The Electric lighting company has some four miles of con- duit in the public streets, but if for bad service or any other cause their permits should be re- yoked, I know of no way by which they could be dispossessed, and the conduits could not be removed without great public inconvenience and expense. The reserved right of repurchase is, I be- lieve, not an unusual condition in charters for public works, but it was proved practically in- operative except where the priceand method of procedure are fixed. As the condition sub- mitted is dependent upon an appropriation it cannot take effect unless it has the approval of Congress. The reservation of the right to purchase at will is especially important in view of the fact that it may be found best at some future time for the municipality to undertake the whole business of electric lighting. This has been done elsewhere with economy and success. This course is not recommended at resent for the reasons given in my report of cember 8, 1888 (Senate Miss. Doe. No. 15, Fiftieth Congress, second session). Very re- spectfully, your obedient servant, Cuas. W. Raywonp, Major of Engineers, U.S. A., Engineer Com- missioner, D.C.

At the American art exhibition in Vice-Presi- dent Morton's house yesterday a crowd was attracted to a specimen of burning or etching on wood with a hotiron, The idea is not broadly new. In olden times artists of renown, as they made their flip with hot pokers, would burn pictures upon wooden objects near them. There as in the Musee de Cluny at Paris a chest orna- mented with designs burned on wood. The Japanese have also used burnt wood in house decorations, The first to exhibit any of this workin America was Mr. Bail Hughes, the English sculptor, but up to within a short time it has been rather experimental than other- wise. Within a few years, however, Mr. J. W. Fosdick, a young Boston artist, brought the work to the notice of New Yorkers as a novel and beautiful style of house decoration, and it has already been adopted by several leading architects there. The effects which can be produced in this way are quite wonderfal, The wood is French poplar, Tones and values are given to the drawings by the fiat side of the iron, and by using shellac and pumice-stone in finishing. Uneven line work and fiat tones of the hot iron make it possible to give the pic- turesque qualities fagnd in Albrecht Durer etchings and wood-cuts, and in the wood carv- ings of the old masters, Ceiling panels are effectively decorated with this work. The original design of Mr. Fosdick at the ex- hibition, loaned by Mr. A. G. Wilkinson, is called “Strategy, or The Butterfly Catchers. ‘Two little cupids steal up under cover of a huge old Greek mask and catch butterflies through its mouth, The hot iron gives gradu- ated tones from cream to black, and in a side- light the work so nearly resembles carved ivory a8 to deceive those most familiar with such work. Ina direct light it resembles a metal plaque; and in other lights, glazed tiles. —— A Preasaxt ENTeRTAInMENT.—A delightful entertainment was given last evening at Me- Cauley’s Hall by Potomac Council No. 16, American Fraternal Circle. Supreme Secretary Charles W. 8. Banks, of Baltimore, and Deputy John N.

Stevenson, a colored class-leader in a South Washington Church, and locked him up because he had fallen from grace. John was employed as janitor of building No, 608 F street, in which are a number of lawyers’ offices. Books and other articles were stolen from the rooms, but Stevenson was a trusted employe, and was not suspected until Sergeant traced the robberies to him. When arr he admitted having stolen books from the offices of A. B. Clarke and John C. Pennie. The books were recovered in a second-hand book store.

Policemen Trainor and Daley arrested him near 5th and M streets about 1 o'clock this morning. He had been to a “parlor social” and was returning home with his wife, and Mr. and Mrs. Brown. When tak- ing leave of his friends the officers thought Butler was too noity.
