Its Savage Attack or ona a Newspaper Cor- respondent—He is lo ts Badly Bitten. There are no bears or tigers in the Soldiers’ home grounds, but there are some very savage squirrels in the hickory trees, Mr. 0. P. Austin, the Washington correspondent, had a curious adventure while driving in those grounds Wed- nesday afternoon. He was driving through the woods, when a big gray squirrel jumped on his horse with unfriendly demonstration. Mr. Austin reached for the squirrel to knock it off with his hand. The result is that that hand is now done up with surgeon's bandages, under which are severai severe wounds. The little animal made an aggressive fight. Mr. Austin was first bitten through the thick part of the thumb near the first joint. Then, when he shook the squirrel off and kicked it across the ah, | driveway ds Semebank at hin an climbed up his trousers’ leg and bit him through the middie finger, swinging by ite teeth, so that it was difficult for it to be shaken off. The squir- rel wus kicked out of the road three times, the last time with considerable force, before it gave up the fight. Mr. Austin’s wounde1 hand was dressed by the doctor at the Soldiers’ home hospital. ———_—_ Street Improvements. To the Editor of Tur Evexte Stan ‘The subject of the apportionment of the ap- Propriation for street improvements, to which reference is made in Tue Star of the 5th, was only an incident or side issue of the main ques- tion presented by our committee for the con- sideration of the board of District Commission- ers, but it is one of grave importance, The revised tabular statement of C: pee = mons purporting to show ‘the cost of provement of streets and avenues in the differ. ent sections, with the percentage of expendi- tures in cach section since the establishment of the present form of government,” appears on page 233 of the last report of our District Com- missioners and represents the amount for the northeast section to have been $437,690 This elaborate table purports to be the result of laborious researches and discriminating cal culations to show precisely how many cents’ worth of street improvements may be parceled out to each of five sections Sots to the Population, valuation, area. needs and growth of euca, This contrivance obviously Orintaated ina p to aggrandize one section at the expense of another. After one section had received the benefit of nine-tenths of the money applicable to street improvements for eight years, as admitted, with largely enhanced valuation thereby cre- ated, a just and generous government would have said: Now the other sections must have a chance and be made eqaal. oe table consists of fifty-six items of el aes a brief analysis of the last two of which aay be instanced in illustration of its character, One of these is an item of bh per of 2140,600.for the * “general schedule,” and the other is an appropriation of €129.700 for the northeast section. In the same report Capt. Symons says: ‘There are certain streets which it seems hardly fair to charge to any one sec- tion for the reason that they have a gencral importance; such are the great avenue thor- oughfares and streets partly in one section and partly in another, These streets properly form & general schedule for improvement.” Of this schedule the Commissioners them- selves had previously said: ‘The general schedule is intended to peaviae for the im- provement of streets whic are regarded as of ublic importance oe of their ial locality. * * * Such is Maryland av.nue,” &c. But when the appropriation appeared this general schedule contained not a cent for the | improvement of said Maryland avenue, nor | for any other avenue or street in the! nol section, although it contained | items of appropriation for comparatively unim- portant streets in every other quarter of the city and one for the county. But the northea: section was actually charged with an item for the improvement of said Maryland avenue from 6th street to the Boundary. This same northeast section was also charged with an item for the improvement | of North Capitol street, half of which belongs to the northwest quarter, and all of which, cording to Capt. Symons himself, should have been in the general schedule. Andstill morc, an item for the pavement of 11th street from East Capitol street to North Carolina avenue, ex- clusively in the southeast quarter. was also charged to our northeast section. Furthermore, this table is put forth as em- bracing all of the expenditures on streets, but that also is a delusion. The appropriations already made “for re- pairs to concrete pavements” aggregate more than $1,000,000, and not a peuny of it is in- cluded in this tabular g steamy More than two-thirds of it h een Used in resur- facing streets at about $1.30 per square yard, making them “nearly as good as new,” as re- peatedly admitted. ‘Ihe nice asphalt pave- ment on H street northwest on the north side of Lafayette park ix an example. This and other similar improvements are continously made in the northwest section without. in any manner, taking them into this account of street improvements, 8. C.

With this view, however, the doctors do not agree. ‘whey are willing to admit that Adler's general condition is more favorable to-day than it was yesterday, but they do not feel at all certain that there can ultimately be complete recovery.

His pulse, also, was a little less frequent thanit has been during the past week and respiration was less labored. ar of these favorable conditions, say the doctors, are due to the coolness of the room— the result of the work of the electric fan, which day and night revolves over the patient and cools him by its movement.

A Minneapolis special to the New York World Fair Oaks, the Minneapohs home of | United States Senator William D, Washburn, is | ciosed and deserted. Senator and Mrs. Wash- burn are somewhere on the Atlantic oceau on their way to Europe, and the great house is not likely to be opened again for a year or more. Meanwhile the most dumaging rumors are afloat concerning the Senator's financial condition, and local business circles are greatly excited. The truth 1s, however, that the crisis terms shail be six years each, Yesterday was taken up in h proposi- tions for clauses to the ceouttiaon A pre- amble and bili of rights were introduced by Weir of Port Townsend. An innovation pro- posed in the bill of rights is that grand juries shall consist of fifteen members, and that twelve can return an indictment. In civil cases nine out of twelve jurymen can return a verdict, Kinncard of King introduced a propo- sition that that part of tide lands necessary for the construction of streets be donated to cities | or towns, Buchanan of Whitman wants a railroad com- mission established. and Turncr of Spokane in- troduced a resolntion for a mechanics’ lien law and one providing that no part of the state funds be devoted t. sectarian purposes.

It is also said that Thos.

He said: “Mr, Washburn withdraws from the miiling firm of Washburn, Martin & Co. on September 1. ‘This is done in carrying out Mr. Wasbburn’s well-known determination to close up his large business interests with which he has been so closely identified for nearly twenty-five years und devote himself to his senatorial duties.

He has gone abroad | for the purpose of visiting the springs at Carls- | bad, in Bohemi mia, fora couple of months or | more, in the hope of ag ing his health, which has been anything but good ever since | the heavy strain of the senatorial contest. The fact that he has gone abroad af this time should set at rest any of the idle rumors in regard to his being in financial straits.
