This is an error, unintentional, of course, on the part of my interviewer. To his inquiry on the subject I stated, from my recollection of Tecent advices, that ice had furmed in the river pearly two weeks in advance of the correspond- ing formation last year; that it is gradually increasing in thickness and is, apparently. of good quality, and that satisfactory indications are now afforded of an ample harvest—regard being had, of course, to the viciitudes ef season that has proved to be, already, phenom- enally capricious, Tia.

To the Editor of Tae Evesixe Stan The death of Walker Blaine will be regretted by no one outside of his family more keenly than by those members of the press whose busi- ness brought them in frequent contact with bim. The undersigned was one of these, and he takes pride in saying that in all his profes- sional intercourse with public officials he has ever met with any one who showed more con- sideration to members of the press and who was more courteous and satisfactory in his treat- ment of the business in hand than Mr. Walker Blame. His door was always open to news- men, and so faras my experience goes is equal has uever been met with in public life. The profession knows what it is to have a friend, and I write this simply to record my opinion that it never hada better one than Bir. Walker Biaine. His was never too busy to See & newspaper man, and I have yet to hear of one who did not receive fair treatment at hisbands.

Well-Known Washingtonians Join Mrs. Thurber in the Enterprise. Upon an invitation of the Hon. Gardiner G. Hubbard to meet Mrs, Thurber at his house forthe purpose of conferring as to the best means of placing the National conservatory of music of America upon a permanent basis a num- ber of well-known men met Tuesday evening, Major Powell, director of the geological sur- vey, being called to the chair and Mr. Anthony Pollok acting as secretary. Mr. Hubbard stated the object of the meeting. and then in- vited Mrs. Thurber to make a statement with regard to the foundation, present condition and prospects of the institution. After an interesting discussion, in which nearly all those present participated, a pre- amble and resolutions offered by Prof. Lang- ley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, were unanimously adopted. The preamble set forth that “the National conservatory of music isa tom cnyeniasd ender ike general law of the state of New York, which is and has been in successful operation for a sufficient number of years to test thoroughly its useful- ness, having given musical education to a great | many persons from all parts of the United tes and secured to them the means of honor- able subsistence, if not of fame and fortune;” that “itis proposed to extend the sphere of usefulness of the conservatory and to place it upon a permanent basis by the establishment of a national maintenance fund,” and that “it is the sense of this meeting that,in view of the great advantages h will acerue to our peo- ple by providing the proper means for develop- ing musical eulture 2mong the gifted.ev: couragement and aid should be ex! the proposed extension and perman lishment of said conservatory.” it was there- fore resolved: “1. That a permanent national committee be constituted whose duties shall be to provide ways and means for raising throughout the United States funds for carrying out the object and purpose of the resolutions adopted Janu- ary 3, 1890, by the board of trustees as afore- said. “2, That said committee shall be composed of the following persons: Jeannette M. Thur- ber, John Chandler Bancroft, John Hay, Gardi- ner G, Hubbard, Samuel P. Langley, Anthony Pollock and John W. Powell, any vacancies by resignation or death to be filled by the re- maining trustees. ‘3. That the committee shall enter upon the discharge of its duties as soon as two of its members shall have been elected trustees and one of them a member of the executive com- mittee of said institution. “4. That when im the opinion of the commit- tee a favorable apportunity shall present itself for obtaining recognition at the hands of Con- gress and the goverument of the usefulness and national importance of the institution it (the said committee) may take proper measures to secure congressional aid and action and to ob- tain appropriations orgsubsidies for scholar- ships or for the incorporation of the conserva- tory into any of the departments of the gov- ernment.” After the adoption of the resolution Maj. Powell and Mr. Hubbard were designated as the members of the national committee which are to go on the board of trustees of the Na- tional conservatory of music of America, The Jury Failed to Agree. Yesterday afternoon in the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bingham, the jury in the case of Wm. Boswell, colored, charged with house breaking, was discharged, being unable to agree upon a verdict, He was indicted for breaking into the house and store of Milo Sweeny Decem- ber 1] and tuking three watches and a pistol, James Lewis, mdicted with him, plead guilty some days ago and was the principal witness against Boswell, testifying that he (witness) first entered the house, Boswell following him and taking two watches, Boswell denied this statement, claiming that he was at church at the time and all that he knew of the robbery was when Lewis told him next day what a bully time he had had as he had got a watch, —_—_—_ Knights of Honor Installation.

EXTENSION OF CITY STREETS. The Pending Bills Approved by a Com- mittee of the Board of Trade. The board of trade ask for a hearing before the District committces of Congress in order to present their views relative to the bills (Sen- ate 1104, H.H. 3334) now before both houses, providing for the extension of the streets and avenues of the city, The committee on streets and avenues of the board, of which Col. Geo. Truesdell is chairman, has made a report on these bills, in which it is stated that the bills are identical, and ‘‘direct the Commissioners of the District to establish a permanent system of highways, as nearly in conformity with the street plan of the city, as they should deem ad- visable and practicable in, through and upon any existing suburban subdivision in said Din- trict, and as far as they shall deem advisable through intervening tracts of land.” These bills, the report states, are proper and necessary supplements to the act to regulate sub divisions in the county of Washington, approved August 27, 1883, “That act was the first practical and effective measure looking to the extension of the city streets by putting an end to the long continued and highly injurious privilege accorded to every land holder of sub- dividing his holding to suit Lis own selfish no- tions irrespective of the plan of the adjoining sub-division or of the plan of the city, It is doubtful whether any single local statute has been productive of an equal amount of good in the District. It was the result of long and earnest effort by many citizens to reclaim the beauti fal suburbs of Washington from the hands of selfish speculators and was the first recogni- tion by Congress of the necessity of making new streets coniorm to the city streets regard- less of the plans of existing intervening sub- divisions, It wa uablic recoguition by Con- gress of the necezsity of such a measure as the one now under consideration und a solemn pledge that sooner or later it should be en- acted into alaw. It ought to have been done Yours ago, and every day's delay adds largely to the cost. It is second to none in importance for the future of Washington.” “These bilis,” the report concludes, “while not free from objection combine the best por- tions of various similar billy which have been | introduced in one or both Houses of Congress from time to time, having the same object in view, and appears to provide carciully and well | for all of the necessities of the case with some | minor exceptions to which the District Com- missioners have called the attention of Con- gress, ‘Lhe committee believe their passage to be of the utmost unportance tothe present and future interests of Washington.” The Canal and the B. and O.

The Toronto Gove, in an editorial on Canada’s commercial relations with the United States, says: “If the Americans will agree to continen- tal free trade the Canadians will heartily con- sent to it,. But if they refuse to do so, think- ing that annexation will result, they will make a huge blunder. If Canada could be cold shouldered into the Union the latter would tind her avery undesirable acquisition.” see Against Extehding the Judge’s Term. An earnest fight is being made in the Mary- land legislature against the proposition to ¢x- tend Judge Stone's term. Southern Maryland democrats met in convention at Annapolis yes- terday and adopted a resolution opposing the extension. Judge Stone is 4 republican and is chief judge of the seventh circuit, and is a member of the court of appeals. In 1881 he was elected for a term of fifteen years by un unprecedented majority. Ou the seventh of next month he will be seventy years of and his term will expire by constitutional limit unless it is extended by the legislature, It will come to a vote next week. ————_-see Work at the Henry Clay shaft, mine of the Reading coal and Sham« Pa, i . CONGRESSIONAL LONGEVITY. Samuel J. Randall Is Now the Father of the House, TABULAR SHOWING OF THE SERVICE OF VETERANS —MORRILL HAS SERVED LONGEST IN CONGRESS AND SHERMAN IN THE SENATE—MEN WHO EN- | TERED CONGRESS LONG BEFORE THE WAR. Now that Judge Kelley has passed away Samuel J. Randall becomes father of the House by reason of having had a longer continuous service than any other member of the House. He has also served a greater number of years than any other member, which was not the fact in Judge Kelley's case, except during the few months that have clapsed since the death of the late Hon, 8.8.Cox. Mr, Randall.although a dozen years younger than Judge Kelley, is regarded as in a precarious state of health, In the event of his passing away the honor of being the father of the House would descend to yet 2n- other Philadelphian, Charles O'Neill, who is a member of twenty-five years’ experience. sé : A | ga z Sa 82o ce £) sdaaf2s?

It is an interesting fact that both these Vermont veterans suceceded men of long experience, Edmunds first entered the Senate seven days after the death of Solomon Foote, who was a Representative four years and « Senator fifteen, dying in harness, Morrill succeeded Jacob Collamer, who was long Rep- resentative, cabinct ofticer and Senator, But the real father of the Senate is John Sherman, who entered the Seuate simulta- neously with Judge Kelley’s advent in the House, but who allowed his long service to be broken by going into the cabinet of President Hayes. The order of the Seuators according to date of first entry into the Senate is as fol- lows: No. Name. First Entered the Senate. 1, John Sherman March 4, 1861. 2. David Turpi January, 1863, 3. Wm. M.
