THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, CITY AND DISTRICT. &® Upon the basis of price per line per 1,000 circulation, the advertising rates of Tux Evex- Ino Stax are only about half as high as thoseof other Washington papers. But cheapness is mot the only merit. Its service is better than ny other paper in the city can possibly give! THEY WERE i BELOVED, It was the First Season Mrs. Tracy and Her Daughter had Spent Here. The blackened shell of the lately handsome home of Secretary Tracy, standing in the sun- shine that floods. Farragut square with the MU asad remnant of one of the happiest homes in the city. Mrs. Tracy was the latest of the cab- inet ladies to make the acquaintance of the Washington people. The extension made upon the house was barely completed in time for the Secretary and his family to hold the New Year day reception in it Mra. Tracy, who was a sweet and loveable lady, was not so much of an invalid as is generally given out. She presided at the numerous handsome dinner parties given im her house during the past month, as it was her favorite mode of entertaining, and she al- ways stood to receive the callers on Wednesday afternoons in the drawing room of her home. Mrs. Tracy was busy, too, ali last month making her duty calls at the homes of the Senators, and no girl in her first Season enjoyed the life at the capital more than did this genial little lady who so lately came among us. With her generous and sym- pathetic nature she soon became interested in everything and aimost every person connected with social life here. She took up her duties With so much warmth of heart and real pleas- ure in it all that her enthusiastic enjoyment won for her the love and admiration of the Washington people in a month's time. The reality of her tenderness and kindliness of feel- ing to the people of the city was manifested in the readiness of her warm words of welcome to each person as she extended her greetings in her dainty home. Mrs. Tracy wished to do in all things as the Washington people were wont todo im their social observances and her thoughtful cure of the social status of the navy circle won for her among those families an enthusiastic devotion. Past sixty in years there was that youthfulness of thebeart characterizing her that never touched by time. Mra. Tracy’s social gifts were of the rarest order and the mourn- ing that is felt for her in hundreds of hearts is that of personal loss by each individual who knew her. THE ATTRACTIVE DAUGHTER. Miss Mary Tracy had inherited her mother's sunshiny nature that time would have devel- oped into the attractive qualities that made Mra. Tracy so remarkable a woman whatever ition in life she was called upon to grace. ey were two of nature's gentlewomen. pure of heart, noble in intention. kindly and gracious and tenderly loyal in all their relations and ob- ligations. ‘Miss Tracy wes an artist of fine perception and execution. A portrait in oil of a lady that hung in the “white parlor,” as they called the room in the extension, da large screen that stood in the library, upon which were figures of eavaliers and peasants, were executed by her. What the effect of the tragic death of Mra. Tracy and Miss Tracy will have upon the fort- night that remains of the official season cannot at this moment be determined. In official and in resident circles hosts and hostesses, if they followed the inclination of their feelings, would close their doors on all festivities for the re- mainder of the time. There will be no cabinet day receptions this week, and Mrs. Harrison will probably not hold her drawing room on Saturday afternoon. President Harrison yesterday afternoon, in view of the terrible ailliction which has come to Secretary Tracy, recalled all invitations to the dinner in honor of the justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, which was to have taken place at the executive mansion on Thursday of this week. ee CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES. The Civil Service Investigation—Pro- posed Admission of Idaho, Etc. At a meeting of the House committee on the civil serviee yesterday the line of inquiry to be followed into tne charges that have been preferred against the commission was decided upon, The committee will first investigate the charges affecting the commission as at present organized, then the former commission and finally a gencral inquiry into the workings of the civil service system. No date for the be- ginning of the inquiry has yet been agreed upon. The House committee on war claims has directed a bill to be prepared for report to the House authorizing the quartermaster general of the army to investigate ail claims for the use of church and school buildings and grounds by the United States military authorities for gov- ernment purposes during the late war. Mr. E. D. Stark of Ohio, a member of the national silver convention, made an argument before the House committee on coinage. weights and measures yesterday in behalf of the coinage of silver by the government. Gov. Shoup of Idaho and H. W. Weir, ex- ehief justice of the territory, made an argu- ment yesterday before the House committee on territories in favor of the admission of Idaho a8 a state of the Union. Against Removal of Apaches. Senator Dawes, chairman of the Senate com- mittee on Indian affairs, has received a letter from W. L. Ryerson. Brewster Cameron, W. H. H. Llewellyn and Geo. Christ, residents of Arizona, protesting against the removal to Fort Sill, Indian Territory, of the Apache In- dians now prisoners at Mount Vernon barracks, Alabama. In the letter it is stated that Fort Sill is less than 500 miles from the old home of Indians and it is only reasonable to sup- pose that they will make their escape thither when they are no farther than three or four days’ ride from the country where they were born. Bloodshed would almost inevitably fol- low the regaining of their freedom and thou- sands of lives would be sacrificed in the en- deaver to again subdue the savages. Foreign Notes of Interest. Maj. Serpa Pinto has accepted the invitation @f the Portuguese republicans to join their ranks and become one of the leaders of the party. He will throw up his commission in the army so that he may be free to return home and enter upon a political career. Prince Bismarck resigned the post of minis- ter of commerce because of inability to give the duties proper attention. The Berlin National Zeitung, reviewing Col. Stoffel’s pamphlet, says that forbearance with France after Sedan would have been useless and that in the coming century Germany will have to keep up her military force as a protec- tion against Gallic assaults, Dr. Bokai, an Austrian scientist, claims to have discovered a cure for hydrophobia, It is applied to the wound and is an antiseptic. The czar has summoned to St. Petersburg the Russian ambassador to England to report on the Anglo-Portuguese dispute. The American squadron of evolution is at Carthagena. There have been one hundred and fifty cases of grip on the Chicago. The Bohemian glass workers now on strike are about to ask the government to intervene. The Emperor William on Sunday visited the military school at Lichterfelds. A meeting of German liberals at Frankfort, at which Eugeue Richter was to speak, has been prohibited. —a Editor West Must Go Over the Road. Judge Grinnell yesterday afternoon ove: ruled the motion fora new trial for James J. West and imposed sentence upon the one-time President of the Chicago Times company, in accordance with the verdict, five years in the penitentiary and a fine of $1,000. The charge of which the prisoner was convicted was the fraudulent over issue of the Tunes’ stock tothe extent of nearly $13,000. too Leconey on Trial. The trial of Chalkley Leconey, charged with the murder of his neice, Annie Leconey, on his farm near Merchantville, N.J., m August last, was begun at Camden yesterday.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. THE ANACOSTIA AND POTOMAC RAILROAD, The mers have rej on the New York’s World Fair Dead as a Smelt. In the New York senate last evening Mr. ported bill recently submitted to them to allow the | Cantor attempted to have the assembly world [Anacestin ott -Fetemen siver seed te vee fair bill taken up, stating that the press of the pr ye per ir pr pr charter of the railroad at prese: ives the right to run these tracks over 7th street between the same two streets. Capt. Rossell in his recommendation calls at- tention to the fact that the width of 11th street between the curbing is much greater than that of 7th street and the district to be ac- commodated by the railroad lies nearer to llth than 7th street. He recommends that the Commissioners make a favorable report to the committee. A protest from Mr. Geo, Watson against the granting of this rivilege has been forwarded with the bill, Fa recneme teams $0 ts particulariy that the accommodations given by the Anacostia and Potomac river railroad are inferior. Capt. Rossell says that he does not believe there will be any objection from the citizens to the passage of this bill. The bill also ex- tends the time of completion of the tracks one year after its passage. He says he sees no objection to this. He suggests that the charter heretofore granted to lay tracks from G to M on 7th street be Gh ang as this line on 11th street will take its place. BUILDING PERMITS have been issued as follows: A, Clemens, one brick dwelling, 113 5th street southeast, ata cost of $4,500. —>__ The Secretary Tracy Calamity. To the Editor of Ta Evewixo Stan: In the solemn presence of the tragic dead whom we most sincerely mourn our hearts in unstinted sympathy go out to the suffering and grief-stricken survivors of the appalling ca- lamity that befell our city, our cabinet and our country yesterday morning. Shail this uni- versal feeling of shock, sympathy and sorrow be as evanescent as the morning mist or shall it teach lessons for the living which may lead tothe avoidance of such horrors and to the protection from them of our wives, our daugh- ters, our households? One sordid wretch who built crumbling, mountain-high “flats” in New York out of straw-and-sand brick was sent to the penitentiary—a richly deserved punish- ment. Is the builder who sneaks in cheap John flues throughout our homes less guilty of manslaughter when deaths result therefrom than was the New York convict? Flues are concealed and may be a permanent menace to our lives without manifesting their dangerous nature, hence the crime of their unsafe con- struction is even greater than flimsy construc- tion visible to the eye. In the presence many conflagrations from “defective flues” we have come to regard the ‘defective flue” as a necessary evil. If Gen. Tracy's horrifying dis- aster is the result of a ‘defective flue” should nota searching inquiry be made that will lead to the arrest und condign punishment of the builder of that life-destroying flue? Moreover, this shocking calamity should teach everybody, especially the rich who live in tall houses, to om the windows and close the doors of their sleeping apartments at night. And why should not the “building regulations” require fire escapes, on the rear walls for that matter, to be erected to every dwelling of more than two stories? In the calamities of the past and pres- ent we should learn wholesome lessons for the future. J. Q. Tuompsoy. > GREAT RIVER OF THE WORLD. The Amazon One Hundred Miles Wide at Its Mouth. From the New York Tribuue. The Amazon, if the Para river be included at the southern channel, is one hundred miles wide at its mouth. Para itself, the northern- most city of Brazil, lies at the gateway of the most wonderful river system of the world. It is the commercial depot and distributing point for 40,000 miles of navigable water. The Ama- zon water shed embraces twenty-five degrees of latitude and thirty-five degrees of longitude. Its western sources ure in the Andes of Peru and Ecuador, only a few leagues from the Pa- cific. Its northern tributaries traverse the borders of Guinea and Colombia, while mid- way the headwaters of the Negro mingle with those of the Orinoco in the western spurs of the Sierra de Pacaraima. On the south the Madeira hile innumerable sources in the mountain levels of Bolivia, while the Tapajoi, the Xingu and the Tocantins pene- trate the central provinces of Brazil. If acom- paratively small group of southern provinces @ left out of the account the Amazon, with its tributaries, forms the water system for an area larger than that of the United States. nishes the only means of communicati tween the smaller centers of population in fully one-half of the vast territories of Brazil Between most of its leading tributaries are broad stretches of impenetrable forests, which have never been explored by white men. It is the Amazon zlone that renders any form of government possibile im the heart of South America, Within the range of the 40,000 miles of naviguble water setticments have been made, rubber farms opened and magistrates empow- ered to conduct jocal administration. ra, lying at the southernmost outlet of the Ama- zon, less than 100 miles from the sea, is the metropolis of this wonderful valley. ‘It isa city with perhaps 50,000 inhabitants and with as much commercial enterprise as is possible under the equator. The commerce of the Amazon is nominally carried on under the Brazilian flag. Foreigners are not allowed by law to own steamers or sail- ing vessels employed in inland navigation, and hence it is necessary for the English cap: who control the carrying trade of the river to assign their interests to Brazilians. There are forty steamers owned by an English line, which receives a large mail subsidy from the Brazilian government for plying between various ports and villages on the main tributaries. and in re- turn for this financial support it is well satis- fied to fly the national flag. Another company has eight steamers under similar conditions, and there are as many a3 a dozen more on the river aud its tributaries which sail under the Brazilian flag. These sixty steamers are grad- ually opening the Ataazon valley to commerce, Only the smailer vessels are now running be- yond Manaos at the junction of the Negro, but next year the largest English vessels will make regular trips to Yquitos, 3,750 miles from the coust. Some of the tributaries are only navigable for long distances at high water during certain months of the year, but the lower villages on their banks are visited by steamer as often as once or twice a mouth. This river trade is almost completely in the hands of the Portu- guese merchants and the mercantile houses represented at Para, Manaos, with a popula- tion of 15,000. is the most flourishing town west of Para, The other settlements, with few ex- ceptions, are straggling villages inhabited mainly by negroes, Indians and half-breeds, ‘The forests of the Amazon. consisting mainly of hard wood, are not available for commercial requirements. The finest of rosewood and mahogany are used there for firewood. Even if there were a demand for the hardwood lum- ber at Para, it could not be logged and brought to market on a large sale, owing to the density of the woods and the lack of the roads and clearings. The one tree which is a source of wealth in these immense forests is the rubber tree. Itis found everywhere, from the low- lying delta opposite Para to the Tupojas, the Madeira, and the Negro, and probably thou- sands of miles beyond those great tributaries. In the interior roads are impracticable and the rubber trees that are milked lie along the rivers, where the farms can be approached, Phe milk can only be drawn at certain levels of the river, for the trunks of the trees are often fifteen or twenty feet under the water after the rainy season, When the conditions are favorable the bark of the trees are tapped and the milk drawn off in cups to be compacted and rolled together layer by layer like a snowball. It is then cooked or smoked over a fire made of sticks— & process that involves contraction in coolin and imparts elasticity to the substance-—-and then itis ready for shipment to Para and New York. The operation of such farms and the opening of new veins of trees in the trackless swamps and forests require the employment of native labor under the most inclement condi- tions of equatorial heat and rains, If there be any quarter of the world where nature seems tocommand inaction and indolence it is in these vast stretches of the Amdzonian forest. Nowhere else can existence be sustained with #0 small an expenditure of effort. Onan acre of cleared land beans can be raised in sufficient quantity tokeep soul and body together, with the adventitious aid of nuts and fruit from the woods. A torpid, som- nolent existence seems to be the imperious re- quirement of the climate. The Indians, half- | breeds and negroes in the village can live, if they choose to do so, with what may be de- scribed as the minimum of human ob! @ livelihood. They in- appeals to ambition and The | state them His motion was defeated by s party vote. pobre tes frit aks Mh Ice Crop Freighting.

The London Times today says upon the Par- nell case: “After our withdrawal of the letters it was clear we had no legal defense, therefore no alternative was open to us but to come to terms or abide the verdict of a jury. As we had at the outset challenged such action we cannot complain at being taken at our word. The Tonite towers, in no way affects the larger question. It is most desirable that the parliamentary commission should sepere and when its report is presented it is equally desi able that it may be placed in the hunds of the public with the least possible delay.” Indorsing Speaker Reed. At Tunkhannock, Pa., yesterday the republi- cans in convention nominated M. B, Wright for re-election to represent the fifteenth congres- sional district. They also passed resolutions applauding Speaker Reed for his action in Con- gress and condemning the democrats for op- posing him. Columbia’s Sons at Dinner. The annual dinner of the alumni of Colum- bia college, held at the Hotel Brunswick, in New York, last night was the largest college alumni dinner ever held in that city, nearly four hun- dred being present. Among the guests were the presidents of nearly all the eastern colleges and representatives of others. Frederic B. Condert presided. The speakers were the newly installed president of Columbia, Seth Low, Bishop Potter, Charles 8, Smith, presi- dent of the chamber of commerce; George William Curtis and Provost Pepper of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, s00. Red Fog and Red Rain. The new Johnston line steamer Queensmore, Capt. Trenery, arrived in Baltimore yesterday morning from London, via Boston, on her first trip to this side. The steamer arrived several days late at Boston, having passed through ter- rible weather on the voyage. Capt. Trenery reports that he encountered a shower of red rain off the Banks of Newfoundland, He was startled when his attention was called to it by one of his officers, but cannot as yet account for it. After the shower, which lasted but a short time, the weather grew extremely cold. As soon as it brightened up the red rain dried like blood all over the decks and sails, almost dyeing them a light carmine hue. It could be rubbed off like dust. The story of the strange colored rain 1s confirmed by a report given by Capt. Inch of the steamer Rossmore of the same line. While Capt. Inch did not run through red rain he reports that he sighted large quantities of red ice oe on the waves, which was undoubtedly colored by the rain or whatever it may have been. Several natural philosophers in shipping circles say that the fogs for the past few weeks on the At- lantic have been so low and dense that the heavy deposits of red from the iron ore shores may have possibly been carried up and after- ward dropped toward | the ocean, No Coal and No Food. The Donaldson line steamer Circe from Glas- gow for Baltimore, arrived at Halifax on Sun- day evening with the tank steamer Ocean in tow, bound from Rotterdam for New York. Capt. Creighton of the Circe had experienced very heavy weather himself and lost his life- boats. When 350 miles off Halifax he sawa steamer in the distance flying signals “starv- ing” and “short of coal.” He bore down on the helpless ship and found her to be the Ocean. Capt. Voge said he had had a frightful voyage, na was then twenty-five days out from Rotterdam. His coal was all gone and his crew were starving. He had previously obtained provisions from a passing ship, but these were all gone, and he requested Capt. Creighton to take him in tow. Before commencing to tow Capt. Creighton sent a boat load of provisions on board the Ocean, and on the afternoon of the 30th proceeded to Halifax. It took four days and two hours to tow the Ocean 350 miles. soe. Governor Gordon will Sppoi it Gen. Philip Cook secrgtary of state for Georgia to succeed the late Col. Barnett, Gen. Cook was twelve years in Congress. Capt. Andrew 8. Hussey, postmaster at Mount Jackson, Va., who died ‘of the grip Sunday morning, was in the coast survey of the United States for many youre. The patrons of the Rundels (Pa.) post office have been boycotting their new postmaster since his appointment a few months ago, but now the mail carrier is notified that he must not receive mail along his route, and there is a big kick. Norfolk shipped 6,000 barrels of kale Satur- day. ‘The Virginia court of appeals has sct aside Abraham Warwick's, will disposing of $20,000. ‘The issue was whether an indorsement which the testator made on an envelope containing the paper could be construed as a suflicient signature. Kate Spencer, who with her first husband, John H. Evans, was in the cast of “Our Ameri- can Cousin” at Ford’s theater the night Lin- coln was assassinated, was recently married to Charles Lagrange at Mansfield, Mass. A tidal wave January 24 swept overboard and drowned the fourth officer and quartermaster of the steam ship Waesland, which arrived in New York Sunday from Antwerp. Sister Margaret Mary, a nun teaching in Notre Dame college. San’ Francisco, eloped a few days ago with Charles Perkins, an iron moulder, to whom her sister was engaged. ‘They married and went to housekeeping.
