Awxarorts, Mp., Jan. 11.—A battle of two hours’ duration took place off Annapolis this morning after 2 o'clock between the police boat Daisy Archer, Mate Phipps commanding, and the dredging vessel Virginia 8. Lawson, Capt. John Litts, Both cannon and rifles were used, The noiso was distinctly heard in this city. The vessel was illegally dredging on Thomas point when sighted by the Archer, which chased her several miles before captur- ing her. The captain will be tried this morn- ing. THE CHARLESTON’S MAST RUINED The Handsome Steel Mast of the Cruiser Badly Sprung. Say Franctsco, Jan. 11.—The cruiser Charles- ton, now fitting out at Mare Island navy yard, will go to sea with a scrious defect, which will require consi‘erable time and expense to over- come, Upto Wednesday every piece of work on her was perfect. On that day the equipment officer, Capt. Nelson, took charge of the main mast, the shrouds and berg png The mast had just been firmly set in place. A guy rope was drawn aft and the forestay tightened by stem wenches, {his done, the guy rope was loosened and in an instant the handsome steel mast was badly sprung, the rivets starting ten feet from the deck and perceptible fissures ap- peared. ‘Tho mast will be patched up, but a new one will, uo doubt, have to be substituted sooner or later. alia Twice Sentenced to Hang. Special Dispatch to THE EvEsino Stan, Petersucro, Jan. 11.—Randall Watson was found guilty of murder in the first degree this morning «t Hicksford, Greenville county, and Judge Hascoll sentenced him to hang March 22. Wateon’s crime was committed two years ago. He was tried, found guilty, and’ sen- tenced to hang, but the sprees court of ap- pleals gave him a new trial. Since his arrest and first conviction Watson has been confined in the jail of this city and he has made a most excellent prisoner. He is quite an intelligent man and during his confinement in jail has spent most of his time in reading newspapers and books, Watson will be brought to Peters- burg this afternoon and lodged in jail, where he will be keptuntil the day of his exe- eution, ——— as Wall Street Today. New York, Jan. 11.—The stock market pre- sented the same appearance that it has for the past few days, being dull and uninteresting for the general list, while Reading and sugar refin- eries monopolized the attention of the traders, In the former, however, there was little life, and it moved within the narrowest limits with he remainder of the list, which after a weak ning with first prices from 3 to 3 per cent ow those of last evening, scored further slight declines in the early trading, though a be.ter tone was apparent in the latter portion of the hour. Sugar opened off % per cent at 52 and after rising to 525< rapidly declined to 5034, from which point it rallied fractionally. The rew common stock of the Wheeling and Lake Kjrie was traded in upon the board for the first t:me this morning, and opening at 303; it rose to 312{ on a comparatively large business.

SAD RITES AT THE CAPITOL Brief But Impressive Services in the Hall of the House Today. ® The solemn funeral services over the remains of the late Representative Kelley were held in the hall of the House today. His colleagues of the House and many Senators were present to do the last reverence to one who has served his country so ably and so long. Many of those present had shaped their careers by his example. Many had served for years as his colleagues, and by them ail he was respected as a man of ability and by many he was loved as a friend; but the oldest among them who assembled sadly at his bier had not served as longas he, He was the “Father of the House,” and reverence was done his mem- ory as was fitting to this position. The services were brief and on every hand the show of sadness indicated the general grief that was felt among the members at the loss of one they had so long known and respected, A SPIRIT OF SADNESS pervaded the Capitol this morning and there was the hush that comes in the presence of death, The members assembled slowly in the hall of the House before the hour of ting. The pres- ence of the draped desk upon ich rested the white flowers with their sad significance and the solemnity of the occasion checked the bus- tle and hum of conversation that usually at- tends the opening of the House. The presence of death was felt, and that, too, the death of an old associate. Atl1 o'clock the committees of the House and Senate left the Capitol, and proceeded to the Riggs house to escort the remains to the Capitol, They joined the family and some of the more intimate friends there and formed & procession, conveying the remains to the Capitol, where they arrived about 12 o'clock. A_ 11:55 a largo number of the Senators, headed by the Vice President and Capt. Bas- sett, entered the hall and took the seats re- served for them at the right of the Speaker, Postmaster General Wanamaker arrived at about the same time and took a seat among the members. Every seat in the hall was then oceupied except those reserved for the family in front of the Speaker's desk, The galleries were well filled with ladies and gentlemen, most of whom had assembled there often before to listen to the eloquence of the man whose memory only they came now to honor. Mrs, President Harrison was _accom- anicd by Private Secretary Halford and a lady, th ladies were in deep mourning. ARRIVAL OF THE REMAINS, At ten minutes after 12 the committee on es- cort and the family arrived with the remains at the north door of the House. The sound of the Speaker's gavel announced that the sad proces- sion was about to enter the halland every Sen- ator and member stood in his piace with Vended head as the casket was born down the main aisle. The minister and the members of the committe headed the procession and behind them the venerable captain of the police and nine of his subordinates bore the casket and the family followed, Many of the judges’,old colleagues bent their heads low and placed their hands to their eyes as the sad procession passed down the aisle. The casket was of plain black cloth and on its top rested a wreath of white flowers and a bunch of palms. The remains were borne to the space directly in front of the Speaker's desk and the casket placed on the bier wigh the head to the east. The upholstered chairs from the Speaker's table were placed ina semi-circle before the casket and the members of the family were conducted to these seats. Mrs. Kelley, the widow, leaned on her son's arm. Another son walked with the cidest daughter, Mrs. Horstman. The grandchildren and tho private secretary of the deceased followed. Dr. Depew, ex-Secretary Whitney and many of the distinguished New Yorkers, who had come to Washington to speak before the world’s fair committee of the Senate, oceupicd seats in the gallery during the funeral services. THE BURIAL SERVICE. As the casket was borne down the aisle Rev. Dr. Butler, chaplain of the Senate, and Dr, Cuthbert preceded it, reading the burial serv- ice. The ministers took their places at the desk of the clerk of the House. After the read- ing of the burial service Dr, Cuthbert delivered the prayer. “Oh, God,” he prayed, “we recognize Thy hand 1n the removal of this servant—so long a useful member of§this body; a man respected by all, loved by”s0 many, the object of so much’ tender friendship and — affection. Oh, Thou giver ef every good. we thank Thee for the gift to his family, to his friends, to his associates, to his country, and now that Thou hast scen fit to take him from us, help us all to fecl and to say “The will of God be done.’ We gratefully recognize, oh Lord, at this time the spirit of Christian charity that puts aside, in the face of such calamity as this, all sectional prejudice, all party feeling and all political antagonisms, so that we can come together as brothers in common sympathy. We commit to Thee, oh, Lord, this bereaved and atflicted fam praying that Thy blessing be upon them. shield of Thy light and love and spirit be over them, go with them, dear Father, in their journey to their home. Be with them in the journey of their life to the end.” Dr, Butler read the 15th chapter of the Ist epistle of the Corinthians, Benediction was delivered by Rev. Dr. Cath- bert and the procession slowly passed from the hall after a brief service of thirty minutes, THE REMAINS ESCORTED TO THE DEPOT. The committee of escort and the family took the carriages waiting in front of the Capitol and the procession took its sad course to the Baltimore and Potomae de the remains were taken on the 1 to Philadelphia. The services in that ci be held on Monday and the members of the congressional committee will leave here on Sunday to attend. ees Senator Ingalls and Recorder Trotter. On the 23d ultimo Recorder Trotter receiveda letter from Senator Ingalls, chairman of the committee on the District of Columbia, to which the following reply was sent: “I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of a com- munication from the Senate committee on the District of Columbia, dated the 2ist in- stant, requesting the recorder of deeds to furnish the committee # full statement in writing of the receipts and dishursements of his office since his appointment. In reply I will say that while I am perfectly willing to comply with the request of the committee, yet, by rea- son of my subordinate position, I um compelled to return the communication, with the sugges- tion that the request be made to the Hon, John W. Noble, Secretary of the Interior, this office being one of the divisions of his department,” No reply was received to this letter by Ke- corder Trotter until January 9, 1890. On that date he received, through the Secretary of the Interior. the letter of Senator Ingalls. with a request that the same be complied with, The repert, being all ready, was immediately trans- mitted to the Secretary of the Interior. John R. McLean for U.S. Senator. The bolt among the democrats of the Ohio legislature, mentioned elsewhere in ‘Tue Stan, complicates the senatorial situation and a com- promise candidate is not improbable. If union cannot be effected on Brice, a Columbus special to the New York Herald says, the choice will fall upon McMahon, Neal or John R. Me- Lean, Itissaid Mr. MeLean could haye had the nomination without leaving Washington and it is believed now that all of Brice’s forces will go to McLean if they can not put their own man in. A reporter of Tue Stan was unable to find Mr.McLean today and hear what he had to say about the matter, Representative Owen of Ohio, who is a friend of Brice’s, says that there is no chance in the world of a bolt from the democratic caucus to defeat Brice’s election to the United States denate. . The talk in New York | vei about J. R. McLean as a compromise, he says, is all non- sense, Deserted the Police Force. General order No, 343, issued yesterday by Acting Chief of Police Kelly, promulgated the findings and recommendations in the cases against Policeman Henry Wilkins. The officer failed to appear for duty soon after the last to appear for trial, as he had for duty, and found guilty b; ‘deteult, abe tral Gord den clared him a “deserter” aud “removed Lim DOWN WITH THE GRIP. Increase of the Epidemic—The Doctors Busy—It Hits the Police Hard. The prevailing epidemic has @ firm grip, as it were, on the members of the Metropolitan police foree. Today the force is crippled worse than any other police force in the country in comparison to its size. There are about seventy members down with the grip and many more are detailed for various duties other than regular police duty, leaving a mere remnant to patrol the District. Since the influenza has appeared among the officers the platoons going out at night some- times are composed of only five or six men. That explains the complaints being made that a policeman has not been scen on a particular square for some days. MAJ, MOORE THREATENED WITH TYPHOID PNEU- MONTA. Maj. Moore, who went home the other day with the grip, is a much sicker man than was at first supposed. He now exhibits symptoms of apport pneumonia and will not, it is eee t, be able to resume his duties for some time, Capt. Austin and Inspector Swindells are still unable to resume their duties, They are both improving, however, and expect to return to duty in a few da: Detective Raff, who went home yesterday, is a very sick man. Clerk Gorman of the detective office returned to duty today, having fully recovered. Lieut. Kelly is stillacting chief of police and Detective Mattingly has charge of the detec- tive office. The officers on the police boat Joe Blackburn have done remarkably well thus far consider- ing the nature of their duty, Commander Sut- ton had a severe attack of the disease, as did Officer Constantine. Pilot Dean and Deck Hand Boyd have not even had a cold, AMONG THE GOVERNMENT PRINTERS. The grip has appeared among the employes of the government printing office and at the bureau of engraving and printing, and a num- ber of employes are absent from both offices. There are more than one hundred absentees from the first-named office na more than half that number from the tter, Some one started a story to the effect that tho cholera or yellow fover would break out here next summer and that the grip would act as 4 pre- ventive to those diseases. The story, like ali others, was soon circulated from the bottom of the government printing office to the top, and strange to say many of the women believe it and are anxious for an attack of influenza. “GooD GRIP WEATHER.” There wis nothing new at the health office this morning concerning the grip. Chief Clerk McGinn said he thought the condition of the disease was about the same as it was three days ago. The good weather Thursday and yesterday seemed to have a good effect upon the victims and complaints ere fewer, but the weather this morning is ‘ood grip weather,” and the complaints are likely to outnumber those made earlier in the week, SIX DEATHS FROM PNEUMONIA, ‘The weekly reports of the physicians to the poor will not be made until Monday, and until then the extent of the disease cannot be ascer- tained, as no reports other than those are re- ceived by the health officer, Of the deaths reported to the health office yesterday and this morning six resulted from pneumonia. THE DOCTORS HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL, and many of them refuse to add any more patients to their list. Many physi- cians complain that they get only three or four hours’ rest out of twenty-four, One doctor yesterday had 107 calls to make, but he only succeeded in visiting about seventy of his patients, “Many of the sick ones,” said a a Stan reporter, ‘are not reall but remaini at home and tak- ing care themselves they could get along without a physician and give the doctors more time to attend the patients who are really ill.” THE CITY POST OFFICE STILL CRIPPLED. There is no great improvement in the condi- tion of affairs at the city post office as yet. Every division is crippled by the number of its clerks who are absent with the grip anda dozen of the carriers failed to put in on appea ance this morning. The mailing division is in a particularly bad condition. A number of the clerks are away and the quantity of mail to be handled has been accumulating reply. The outgoing mail for the last two weeks has been unprecedentedly hea Beside the regular heavy fuail at the beginning of the new year, the Treasury bond payments and the tremend- ous mail from the census bureau getting under way for its year's work havo added go much that, as the superin- tendent of the mailing division expressed it, “We are simply snowed under. If it had waited five years for a chance the grip could not have chosen a worse time to take us. It was bad enough yesterday, but today we have 150 more bags of mail to handle then we have had any this week.” GRIPLETS. Mr. T. A. Lambert and Mr, A. P. Fardon have been confined to their homes for two or three days by the “grip.” They, with many other members of the club and some of the members of the District committees, were pre- vented from attending the dinner of the Bi ness men’s club last evening by the prevailing influenza, Mr. Charles King, the well-known attorney and claim agent, 18 seriously ill with pneu- moni, a sequel to an attack of grip he had sev- eral days since. hysician to ly so sick, ea DISTRICT GOV FOR UNIFORMITY OF MUNICIPAL LAWS, The Commissioners have received from Sen- ator Faulkner acnate bill 1402 “to extend the ordinances of the city over the District of Co- lumbi. He requests that the Commissioners give himan expression of their views so that he may include it in his report, THE PARAPET WALLS QUESTION. Tnx Svar yesterday referred to the delega- tion of architects who called upon the Com- missioggre to urge the modification of the buildin® regulations relative to the construe- tion of parapet walls. Commissioner Hine today drafted an order in compliance with the wishes of the committee which he will submit to the board at their first mecting. The order as drafted provides that all platform projections shall not exceed five fect from the buiiding line, and that parapet walls shall not be over seven feet in height from grade, and that when adjoining property has been improved these projections will not be allowed except with consent of the adjoining property owner, This order, which will undoubtedly pass, corrects a long-standing evil and clearly defines the building regulations with respect to parapet walls. DROPPED FROM THE ROLLS. Upon the recommendation of Capt. Rossell the following cmployes on the temporary roll have been dismissed: M, Talcott, inspector; Frank Patterson and D, C, Haywood, axemen, TUE PROPOSED NEW EASTERN BRANCH BRIDGE. ‘The Commissioners today sent to Congress their report on Senate bill 1432, “to construct a bridge across the Eastern Lranch at the foot of South Capitol street.” In their report they say: “The construction of e bridge “imposed by this bill would undoubtedly be a great benefit to this city. The Eastern branch of the Potomac river is a navigable channel of the United States and the question of the udvisability of further obstruct- ing it is one upon which the Commissioners can hardly offer an opinion.” RNMEN eee War Department Changes, Appointed-—Herman W.

The question to which the speakers addressed themselves was: “How can we best aid in the development of the national capital?” The guests included members of the Senate and House District committees and other dis- tinguished gentlemen who have secured a warm place in the hearts of citizens of the District by the friendly and active interest they have taken in the welfare and growth of the capital. The banquet was in the large dining hall of the Ar- lington, which was handsomely decorated for the occasion. The principal guests of the crening were seated with the members of the club who performed the active duties of hosts ata banquet table in an alcove at one side of the hall. The others present sat at tables ranged about the hall. Music delighted the ear, an excellent menu tempted the palate, and altogether the service was such as apt the company into the best of paar, nese ¢ chairman of the a Mr. heodore W. Noyes, rose to open dinner proceedings, ce THE CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS. Mr. Noyes in his opening briefly summed up the needs of the District as indicating the broad field of discussion which the question opened and the almost unlimited room given for su; gestion in aid of the capital's devel opment. For antiquated laws modern legislation suited to a nineteenth cen- tury community is to be substituted. The broad streets and avenues of the city are to bo extended in harmonious plan over the whole District; communication between all eset of the expanded capital is to be furnished y electric cars running swiftly over grooved rails; the long bridgo is to disappear and the finished flats, with a sea wall, are to guard the lower part of the city from the flood: the side- walks are to be rendered as admirable in their way as the improved pavements, which are to extend over the whole city, leaving no neg lected section to grumble; the streets are to be cleaned; the District is to be relieved of the tunnel debt ofa million dollars, which it is called upon 4d ye for a water supply that it has not received and that it never will receive through this tunnel, and for which it never contracted to pay; freight blockades are to be rendered improbable in the near future; the railroads are to be granted additional freight facilitics and to be made at the same time to obey tho laws and to provide additional and ef- fective provision for protecting the lives and property rights of individuals; a new post oftice is to be secured and a park in the picturesque Rock creek region; an underground Washin, ton is to be planned and constructed for se afttr- 3, telephone, telegraph and electric light wires; long rows of handsome business blocks are to spring up; the introduction of light and clean manufactures is to be encouraged; Washington is to be made secure in its position as the recognized gathering place of the peo- ple of tho republic, and ia this connection the world’s fair is to be won, if that celebration is to be national, and not merely commercial, sectional and spec- ulative. As the show city of the nation, as a residence and convention city, and as the po- litical, educational, literary and scientific cen- ter of the republic, Washington is to be made to outshine all other capitals in the world. All these things are to be accomplished through alocal legislature which is also a national legislature, largely engrossed in national af- fairs, and through a community rendered some- what inharmonious by local jealousies and dis- sensions, He expressed the opimion that with the removal of the obstacle to the highest de- velopment of the capital which the differences of its people supplied, congressional inertia might be overcome and the District’s legisla- ture caused to perform faithfully its constitu- tional functions, He expressed a hopeful view of what can be accomplished for the city when a strong public spirit prevails and the citizens stand together shoulder to shoulder for the common good. Many references in the chair- man’s speech were received with much ap- plause, SENATOR HARRIS, Senator Harris, who was the first of the guests to be called to his feet, raised the enthusiasm of the gathering to a stili higher pitch by a spirited speech, Atter a few pleas- antries, by way of introduction, he spoke earnestly on the topic of the evening. ‘As an American citizen,” he said, “and as an American Congressman, I take the greatest pride in the beauties and perfections of this capital city. For twelve years I have served in a humble way on the Dis' committee, I was on the subcommittee that gave form and shape to what is knofn as the organic law which first settled the principle that one-half of the expenses of the District should be paid out of the Unied States Treasury. I will not go into details, but I will say peoadiyand generally that during the twelve years of my service on the District committee I have felt, as I hope I shall always feel, a proper pride in the capital of the greatest of all countrics, I have sus- tained and favored by my vote and by what- ever argument that I could make every measure that could with reason and justice be claimed by the people of the District of Columbia to beautify and perfect anything pertaining to the capital city of the nation. And in respect to the world’s fair of ’92, if we are to have one, and Lam not quite sure that we will or ought to. But if we heve one Ican only say that it should be purely a national affuir. It is in no sense a matter of trade and commerce, We are inviting the nations of the earth*to come and exhibit here and to sce our country and what we have to show them. It should be purely national in all of its elements, and in view of this there is no place for it except Washington, I am for Washington as the site of the fair. SENATOR VANCE. Senator Vance, who followed his colleague from Tennessee, made a speech whose witty sallies contributed greatly to the good humor of the occasion and at the same time spoke si cezely and hopefully of the future of Washing- ton. He laughingly remarked that he had con- cluded that he had beeg invited as a business man because he thought he did ‘more business than any man in Washington.” In this con- nection he enumerated, in a humorous way, many of the calls made upon a Senator by per- sons who came to his house before he had fin- ished his breakfast. He shared, he said, with Senator Harris and every other patriotic citizen the love that should animate every American _citizen—a love for this national capital, He was told by those who traveled abroad, he said, that already there is no city in the world ‘more beautiful. “And before we get done with it,” he said, “if the great and liberal plans which have been formed for its improvement, and the mag- nificent conceptions which have been lait out for its growth and adornment are carried out, and which the increasing prosperity of the Bis- trict of Columbia and the ever-increasing aud enormous wealth of this great country will cu- able us to carry out, in less than one hundred years Washington will not only be the pride of the republic, but it will be the wonder of the civilized world, In every thing and any thing | which is right and reasonable and proper that | rtains to the prosperity of the city of Wash- ington zee may depend upon me to give you such aid as it may be in my power to afford: In relation to the site for the world’s fair 1 simply wish to say that a few days ago Senator Harris asked my advice, I told him precisely what he has said here tonight, and I congratulate him upon having learned his lesson so well.” REPRESENTATIVE COMPTON. Representative Compton, the next speaker, made an impressive and eloquent speech. By old association and recent fellowship, he said, he was naturally and strongly attached to the city of Washington. His memory went back to Washington when it was very different from what it was today. He remembered when as a boy he landed at the 6th street wharf and the mud was so deep on 7th street and Penn- < P a D. C., SATURDAY, shavany 11, 1890-TWELVE PAGES. should come here, Nowhore else in this broad land can he get a just conception of what this government is. REPRESENTATIVE M'COMAS. Representative McComas, who was next called out, added another strong and eloquent specch | to the series that made this banquet a memora- done for the District in putting the a) tion bill through the House. Mr. McComas remarked that the chairman might hare in- cluded in his statement of what is to be a great avenue across the river to Arlington, another to Baltimore and another to Gettysburg and An- tietam, These things would come, he said, not #0 soon, perhaps, as the exposition, but these and other glories will be added to the national ital when the second exposttion is = id. He referred to tho fact ee great national expositions n located in the capitals of the countries hold- ing them. After reference to the great advantages of the city as the exposition site and the propriety of holding the exposition here, he said that before the exposition opened they could lay out the land for great park between the confines of the ey 4 and the Mar; land line,which would afford a breathing space for the People. He could not, he said, escape the influence of locality, which gave him especial interest in the capital city. There were few acts, he said, more gratefully remem- bered than that of Senator Harris and his col- leagues when they fixed the principle that the federal government should put down dollar for dollar. The beauty of the capital belonged to the nation as well as to the citizens of Wash- ington. If Congress intended to speed its pro- gress it could it in no better way than by lanting the stakes early in 1890 to mark out sition, By this way all interests can be grace- do more for the advancement of the city in compromise that placed this oneal on the banks of the Potomac may now p! this ex- position here, GEN. FELIX AONUS. Gen, Felix Agnus of the Baltimore American made a speech, which was brief because he was suffering with an inflamed throat, but was em- phatic and well received. He referred to the speak for Washington as the site of the world’s fair, It appeared strange to him that it should require pleuding as to where the exposition should be held. When he turned from the committee room yesterday and looked from the windows of the Capitol be had been amazed at the beauty, the grandeur of the capital. He described its appearance when he came here in 1861 with a knapsack on his back, and con- trasted that picture with what he saw today, when a great and beautiful city stretched out before his gaze. COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS. Mr. Douglass, the president of the board of District Commissioners, spoke next, He said da man on Ist street what is best to do to aid in the development of the capital the first thing he thought of was an ap- Down there they believed in an appropriation and incidentally in the flag. He thanked Mr. McComas and his colleagues for seeing that the appropriations were speedily provided for. So far as the District government was concerned it saw one way of advancing the interests of the city, and that was the honest disbursement of these appropriations. With that purpose and intention the members of the District government would see that the appropriations were fairly distributed through- ont all sections of the city, He thanked those members of Congress who had spoken for their bold utterances regarding the site of the world’s fair, He believed that im the jadgment of the majority uf both houses of Congress they were ahead, "Still every time one gives utterance to his preference it helped a hundred others. The logic of propriety required the exposition to be held here, When it is held the main emblem will be the stars and stripes, and they will float over the national capital. EX-CONTROLLER KNOX. Ex-Controller Knox made a brief speech, describing himself as a New Yorker by birth, a westerner by adoption, but a Washingtonian by reference. He paid an eloquent tribute to the eauty of Washington. He described wittily his experience in a recent western trip, and especially in Chicago, where every one was for Chicago for the exposition. MR, 8, W. WOODWARD, The closing speeches were made by members of theclub. Mr. 8S. W. Woodward, of the firm of Woodward & Lothrop, was first called upon. Mr. Woodward said that if the time ever was when one fellow countryman was not proud of Washington that timc was past. Now scores and hundreds are coming here to seek a place of delightful residence to spend their 8 of leisure, after wealth had rewarded their en- terprise. He believed the best thing the busi- ness men could do would be to combine and make the board of trade, recently organized, a great success, MR. J. G. JUDD. Mr. J. G. Judd of the firm of Judd & Det- weiler, who followed, urged unity among busi- ness men and a determination to make this city the model city of the land. They wanted no appropriations, he said, except the appro- priation that the nation owed to the capital. They asked, ne said, no favor or pittance, but only what was justly due from the government as a tax payer, as the government property here increased, he said, it paid less. Every time the government took up private property it wiped out just as much from the assets of the city, reducing the income from taxation on private property. ‘MR, F. A. REED. The last speaker of the evening was Mr. F. A. Reed of Alexandria, who urged that they must educate and promote the sentiment of pride in the national capital, He urged the import- ance of the Potomac river improvements and incidentally referred to the river and the Chesa- peake bay, where navies could maneuver as one of the advantages of the city as the exposition site, If the exposition comes in 1892 the avenue to Mount Vernon becomes a necessity to ac- commodate the hundreds of thousands who would visit Mount Vernon. At the close of the evening the chairman an- nounced that Mr, $. W. Woodward would pre- side at the next banquet. THOSE PRESENT. Seated at the main table with the chairman, Mr, Theodore W.

Some time ago, as heretofore stated in Tas ‘Stan, the Commissioners, acting under the ad- vice and recommendation of Capt. 8ymona, or- | dered that the old surface of Pennsylvania avenue be reworked and with the addition of new material be used in the laying of sidewalks, It was an open question for some time whether | these sidewalks would prove satisfactory. Piret | street northwest from the District building te | ree eypee ye poy — paved with thie ma- | terial, and thus far i worn comparati' | well. On October 5 the Commissioners | an order that the sidewalk on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue between 9th and 10th streets, which 1 in a very bad con- dition, be relaid, using the good | material now on the ground, and | that such new pavement as should be uired | be relaid with this reworked asphalt was | taken from Pennsylvania avenue as above stated. Capt. Rossell thinks that there is some | doubt as to the success of the sheet asphalt | pavements that have been laid and recom- | mends that no more be laid until after those | already down have passed through « winter, | In relation to the order of the Commissioners _ above stated he recommends that it be changed | to allow the sidewalk on the south side of | Pennsylvania avenue between 9th and 10th streets northwest to be relaid with asphalt tile where new pavement is necessary. preeminent WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP, Navat Onpers.—Commodore A, W.
