4 a ¢ THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: AY... sss Mareh 30, 1889, CROSBY s, Noves............. _ ‘SEEEVENING STAR tas tne fullest Local Cireulation of any Newspaper in the Werld. and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published in Washington. nd Gen. Newton, who, it is understood, is largely responsible for the retention of Major Lydecker in charge of the aqueduct tunnel work in the face of strong protest, comes earnestly to the of the major, in his testimony. SA’ rl holds that an officer in charge of ® contract operation with considerable office could not be expected to give much per- sonal supervision, and could not himself be of : the bad work would go on. He was not sure thathis presence might not do harm. He was himself one of the commissioners of the New York aqueduct, and he noticed that the cheater got in there. The work there was un- der the charge of a number of inspectors and the fraud was discovered “quite accidentally.” In General Newton's view the duty of s superintendent is not to super- intend. He seems to agree with the opin- ion of “the Lydecker set” that the most ef- fective supervision of the tunnel work could be done at long range,—say from the smoking- room of a club-house. A proper perspective could only be got at this distance! This seems to be a pretty mortifying admis- sion to be made by an engineering officer of the utter incapacity of his corps to superintend & public work of this character without detect- ing that it was rotten from beginning to end unless some “accident” exposed the fraud. And it is # hopeless prospect for the District taxpayers, who have already been blistered to the extent of over a million dollars to pay for Lydecker's rotten tunnel, to know that the further prose- eution of the tunnel work is to remain under the same engineering “supervision” that Gen. Newton admits is so utterly incapable of super- via ‘The democrats in the Rhode Island general assembly are credited with trying to play a game of swop. Their reputed purpose is either to unite with the Spooner faction on tho Senatorship vote and thus create a vacancy in the office of representative in Congress, which they may stand a chance of filling with a member of their own party at a special election. or making a bargain for their votes in some other direction, in return for republican sup- port in the general state election of next week. The Spooner scheme has not borne fruit yet, and, as far as heard from, no success has at- tended the other proposal. This latter, how- ever, is the kind of program usually made and executed in the dark, and there can be no as- surance about it until it is seen how the normal republican vote goes at the polls, and what is done by the democratic legislators when the general assembly meets again after adjourn- ment $$$ + Lord Dunraven now wants to try conclusions with the New York Yacht club, matching his new yacht Valkyrie against the best craft they can produce, with the America cup for a trophy. The length of the new yacht on the load water line is a little under seventy feet, so as to bring her within the second or seventy- foot class of American yachts, her beam is fifteen and three-quarters, her depth eleven and a half feet and her tonvage a trifle under fifty-seven. But the most notable feature of her makeup is the place provided for a center- board. This is itself a victory for our yachts- men before a mile has been sailed, for it isa tribute to their superior judgment in the con- struction of fleet light vessels. The earl is careful to observe that he doubts whether a board will be used, but the fact that he has prepared a place for one indicates that an En- glish life-long devotee of sport has found something American which he regards as possibly worth copying in spite of its antago- nism to all the ideas in which he has been trained. In view of the recent hoax perpetrated on the press concerning the destruction of the steamer Nipsic, the public were quite prepared to re- ceive with distrust the news from Apia pub- lished this morning. There is, unhappily, no longer room for such a feeling. Public and private dispatches confirm the worst tidings, | not even leaving unsettled the identity of the | fifty American officers and men who lost their lives. The company of the flagship Trenton escaped destruction, and the Nipsic was only a light loser by comparison with the Vandalia, Admiral Kimberly is now practically master of the situation at Apia. Mataafais encamped near the city with nine thousand men. Tama- sese, who holds his place as pretender. by grace | of Bismarck’s support, has only about seven hundred. The German fleet is wiped out. All that Mataafa has to do is to take the inferior force prisoners, as well as all the Germans in Apia, and make them hostages for the return | of King Malietoa within a certain period. Our | admiral is in position to interfere and save | the lives of the Germans, at least, by giving | them the protection of the American flag, | which the native loyalists all hold in friendly | * respect. It will be interesting to see how the problem works itself out, now that the storm- god bas, with one sweep of his hand, so sud- denly changed all its conditions, a The good work of fence-removal goes on in our city parks. Lafayette square will in a few days be so changed that its oldest friends will not recognize it until they have hunted out the Jackson statue as a meaas of identification.
