a, CITY AND DISTRICT. © The local circulation of Taz Evexixe Bran is not only the largest and fullest, but it is also the nest, since the paper goes not alone into the hands of the people of the- District of Columpia as a body, but regularly info tir homes.—into the families of all classes, and into those of the money-spending as well as the money-earning portion of the community. An Advertisement in its columns therefore Beaches the eye of everybody worth reaching. CAPITOL GLEANINGS. ‘The Caucus of Republican Representa- tives—Committee Work, Ete. The committee appointed by the republican caucus of the House last week to consider the national election bills that have been intro- duced will not be ready to report to the caucus called for tonight. Tbe McComas bill to pre- vent gerrymandering will be discussed by the caucus, THE SOLDIERS’ HOME FUNDS, The Speaker laid before the House yesterday a letter from the Secretary of War transmitting &® communication from Major General Schofield, requesting legislation which will authorize the treasurer of the Soldiers’ Home to deposit the funds received by him pertaining to the Home with the Treasurer of the United States. The Secretary of War recommends that this request be adopted and submits the draft of « bill to effect the object. AGAINST WAR CLAIMS. ‘The House committee on war claims has de- cided to report adversely the bill introduced in the House by Mr. McComas appropriating $232,504 to reimburse the towns of Frederick, Hagerstown and Middletown, Md., for damages trom raids and invasions by confederate troops during the late war. A bill introduced by Mr. Funston appropriating $892,390 to rermburse the state of Kansas for property captured or destroyed by the confederate forces during the late war also received an adverse report. SAFETY ON INTEMSTATE RAILROADS, Mr. Cullom yesterday introduced in the Sen- ate « bill to compel interstate roads to use only automatic couplers on their freight cars. Ip line with this was a memorial of the Massachu- setts legislature praying Congress to pass a law compelling interstate roads to place guard rails ou top of their box and freight cw To PAY TAF CORRESPONDENTS, Mr. Jones (Nev.), chairman of the commit- tee to audit and control the contingent ex- penses of the Senate, yesterday afternoon signed the vouchers entitling each of the five correspondents called as witnesses before Mr. Doiph's committee to $153 witness fees. The correspondents were in actual attendance on the sessions of the committee two days, but — of them was under subpwna for fifty-one ys. SERVICE PENSION BILL. Senator Ingalls yesterday iutreduced a bill Ff “ting a pension of $6 a month toali persons ~ served in the late war not less than three months nor more than one year; to those serv- jug more than a year and not exceeding eight hundred days $8'a month, aud those whoserved over eight hundred days one cent per diem for each day's servi © person who is worth $5,000 at the time of filing his application shall be entitled to this service pension. THE MFAT INSPECTION BILI. Mr. Funston, from the House committee on agricultare, yesterday reported to the House favorably the Senate bill providing for an in- spection of meats fur exportation. prohibiting the importation of adulterated articles of food aud drink With an amendment including drugs, and authorizing the President to make procla- mation in certain cases, AMENDING THE EDMUNDS-TUCKER ACT. The House committee on territories yester- day. by a vote of 7 to 3, authorized a favorable report on the bill, which it has had under con- sideration for some time, to amend the Ed- munds-Tucker anti-polygamy act. In enlarges the scope of that law by disfranchising adher- ents of the Mormon faith who refuse to take the prescribed oath. It also prescribes a more elaborate form of oath that voters are com- pelled to take. — Unjust Additions to the District’s Debt. To the Editor of Tue EveNtxe Stan: I see it announced that the President’s first Yeto is of a bill authorizing the city of Ogden, Utah, to increase its indebtedness, and that the ground of the veto is that it would make the debt of the city about #37 per capita, which he cousiders excessive. In that connection I de- sire to call the attention of all concerned to the fact that the debt of the District of Colum- bia is about $90 per capita, or nearly three times as much. And notwithstanding this fact Congress has increased the burdens of the tax- payers of the District $1,295,139.65 for one-half of the cost of the water extension, with which they had nothing to do; $10,000 for half the cost of investigating the fraudulent work done by its own officers and contractors, over whom the citizens had no control; $257,500 for half the cost of the main as a temporary substitute; $100,000 for half of the cost of land for the zoological park, owned wholly by the United States, and now 270,000 more for half the cost of fitting it up, entirely under the control of the United States government admitting that the United States pays oue-half of the original debt, now about $20,000,000, still it will be seen that the re- maining half, even without the proposed in- crease, 1s much larger than that which the Pres- ident thought was excessive for Ogden. And im connection with that it should be borne in mind that a large portion of the population of the District is composed of non-residents and # much larger portion of poor colored people who own no property and pay no taxes, I commend these facts to those Senators who stated that we are more lightly taxed than peo- ple elsewhere. The debt of the District is much greater per capita than that of any state or mnunicipality of the Union. and the gr: of it was created by the officers of the United States. If property was assessed here as it is in the west, at oue-third of its value, the tax would not be heavy, but when assessed at its full value, one aud abalf per cent here is equivalent to four andahalf there! Gentle- men seem to forget these facts when discussing District affaires, A Taxpayer. at apie Lots 1s * awn” for $200 and $250 (210 cash and $10 per month without interest) are a splendid myestment. B. H. Warner & Co. are dispostaz of them rapidly. ° _— Flood Damage in Louisiana, Hensrraga P. O., La., April 23, 1890. To the Editor of Tak Evesixe Stax Your correspondent “E. N. H.” contradicts a dispatch which states that the breaking of the Morgauza sai Grand levees would imundate ten parishes and cause a loss of $20,000,000. ‘The hydrographic and other charts showing the level of the lands indicate that Pointe Coupee, West Baton Kouge, Iberville, Assump- tion, Terrebone, St. Mary, St. Landry, Iberia, Ascension aud Lafourche are the ten parishes referred to. It is true that none are wholly inundated, but they suffer just as much, Some crevasses (which 13 the technical name for a break in the levee) only hurt the immediate = where they occur, but im the case of jorganza, Scott and Grand levees their alti- tude «nd length will and do cause the overflow of the parishes named. Again, as to value of the property involved. Assessments do not show the value of the seed cane planted, say 5 per acre (=15), cost of planting, cultivation to date, demoralization of labor and many other items not occurring just now. = QUICKSTEP. It Has Come to Stay. From the New York Worid The customary sneaking raid upon the civil fervice law has been made in the House of Representative and has met with its customary defeat, There is a certain element in both Parties composed of men who love the spoils System, largely because their own statesmman- ip extends no further than their capacity to distribute patronage. ‘The cowardice of these people is established by the fact that their attack is always embodied, as it was on Thursday, in au amendment strik- ing out the appropriation for the commission. ‘The motion is made in committee of the whole, Where there is no roll call, so that what may subsequently prove to be an inconvenient Fecord is escaped. The ameudment to strike out the appropria- fion was made by Mr. Houk, a republican from Tennessee, and most of the speakers im behalf of the proposition were merabers of the same Party. There were some democrats who lent their aid, but those whose names figured in the debate were the men whose participation im the attack was to have been expected. The brains and character of the House were on the side of the reform law; which, ax the vote on Houk’s amendment plainly showed, has come tostay. It may be that some of those who favor the merit system are simply yielding to the force of popular opinion, but there are a good many ony eee who were once opposed to the law who have been brought to « realiz- ing sense of its value. There will be no advance for civil service re- form under the present admi there will be no steps backward, nistration, but | GOLD AND SILVER, Production of Precious Metals in the United States and the World. E. 0. Leach, director of the mint, has sub- mitted his annual report to Congress on the production of the precious metals for the cal- endar year 1889, The report is replete with valuable statistics on the production, coinage and movement of the precious metals in this country and throughout the world. The value of the gold product of the United States during the year is placed at $32,900,000, against $33,000,000 in the preceding year, aud the sil- ver product for 1889 at $50,000,000, against 245,783,632 in 1883, THE SILVER PRODUCT of our mines for 1889 was approximately 50,000,000 fine ounces, while 7,000,000 ounces of silver were extracted from lead ores imported and smelted in this country and 5,000,000 ounces from base silver bars imported, making the total product in this country about 62,000,000 fine ounces of silver. Of this amount the government purchased for coinage 27,125,357 ounces; there were used in the urts about 6.000.000 ounces; there were ex- ported to Hong Kong, Japan and the East ndiecs about 9,000,000 ounces, and there were shipped to London for sale about 20,000,000 ounces, WHAT STATES FURNISH MOST. Colorado still maintains firstrank among pro- ducing states, with an aggregate product of | gold and silver of over $24,000,000. Montana stands next with a product of $22,894,000. Cali- formia produced $14,034,000, of which $13,000,- 000 were gold, being avout two-tifths of the to- tal gold product of the United States. Utah shows a largely increased product, notably in silver. Idaho and New Mexico report an in- creased product and Arizona and Nevada a re- duced product in 1889. he gold product of Dakota (South) increased from 2,600,000 in 1588 to $2,900,000 in 1889. Oregon and Wash- ington both report increased products, the former having produced $1,200,000 in gold. The states of the Appalachian range show a slightly increased product of gold over 1588, THE COINAGE OF THE MINTS for the year amounted to $21,500,000 worth of | gold pieces, 34,000,000 standard silver dollars and $2,000,000 worth of subsidiary silver and minor coins. The net loss of goldand silver to the United States by excess of exports during the year was: Gold, ©38,886,753; silver, $14,788,666. During the year $16,697,000 gold and $8,766,000 silver was used im the mdustrial arts in this country. ‘Ile total metallic stock of money in the United States on January 1, 1890, is csti- mated ax $659,000,000 gold and $43,000,000 silver. THE WORLD'S COINAGE for 1889 Director Leach places at $168.000.000 gold and $133,000,000 silver, against $135,000.00 gold and 135,000,000 silver in 1888. The world’s production of gold and silver in 1889 was, approximately $119,000,000 gold, $162.700,000 silver, coining value, 110,000,000 gold and $142,000,000 silver, coin- ing value, in 1883. THE HARVEST OF THE STORM. Suoday’s Fusilade of Ice Makes Balti- more House Owners Glum. From the Baltimore Sun. The happy, contented expression usually worn by the average property-owner as the | first of the month approach gave way y terday to a sad, careworn look, as he sur-| veyed the fronts of his houses and made a mental calculation as to the size of the hole it would be necessary to make in his collec- tions for rent to fix up the holes in his houses, The glass men felt just about as happy as the property owners felt despondent, for orders for window glass poured into their stores from the time they opened until they closed. Not for years bas there been such a demand for the | brittle commodity. The retail deaiers and jobbers were of course the busiest, and there is hardly oue in town who has not more orders than he can fill in a week. The manufacturers were kept busy, too, supplying the jobbers, but their trouble was mainly in’ gettin the glass out of stock and cutting odd sizes, | There was very little cutting done, however, for az a general thing those | desiring’ odd inch and fractional inch sizes bad to file their orders to be filled after the disposal of orders for regular sizes. There is enough glass in the city to replace in a single day every window broken by Sunday's phe- nomenal hailstorm, but it would be impossible | to get it out of the store rooms in this time, even if glaziers enough could be found to put it in place. Great as is the demand there will be no increase in the price of the, glass itself, for the dealers and manufacturers do not feel disposed to take advantage of the house owners’ misfortune, and are perfectly satistied with the big increase in their sales at the regu- lar prices. Competition from the outside would act as a check against an increase of prices. No overtime will be made at the glass factories, as has been stated. Baker Brothers & Co. said that such a thing was not possible. The manu- facturers are running now on full time, and can only make glass when the blast is read; They could not well increase their output with: out enlarging their plant. ‘The demand for glass is expected to keep up for the next two weeks, though it may continue fora month. It will take nearly that time to replace all the broken glass, with all the paint- ers and glaziers, numbering 2.000, working hard at glazing alone. Besides these there are between 500 and 1,000 men, who know nothing about the business, who are improving the shining hour by soliciting orders for putting in window panes. Hot houses throughout the city have all been nearly wrecked and the Joss in this direction will amount to a heavy figure. According to reports made at the mayor's oftice the glass m about 1,000 city lamps was broken. There is a humorous side as well as a seriou: one connected with the gigantic smash, and the effect produced by old hats, coats. pillows and newspapers stuffed into the the holes made by the hail stones is ludicrous. This effect is heightened when an ancient silk hat plugs up the hole in the window in @ costly brownstone front on Charles street, or when an old news- paper fills an aching void in some artistic stained glass church window. ~ see A Verital ble Wild Man, The people of Oak«ale, Tenn., are very much excited over the coming and going of a verita- ble wild man, a compound of Samson and Esau. A party of men in*the street were sur- prised by the appearance of a tall, broad- shouldered man, naked from the waist up, with hair unusually long on his head, breast and arms. They began to guy him, when he threw one of them over an embankment, and in a itched fight which followed whipped six of is persecutors. A dozen railroad men tinally overpowered and bound him and locked him up ina fruitcar. Within an hour he was free, having burst the rope with which he had been tied and crushed the side of the car as if it had been paper. He escaped to the mountains, and no anxiety to search for him is displayed. = pos Murdered for a Pickle. John Thomas, a young white man who was stabbed by a strange colored man in Richmond Sunday morning, died yesterday from the effects of the wound. Thomas and a young man by the name of Franklin were on a spree together at the time of the affray. Thomas had a bottle of whisky with him. He stopped an unknown colored man on the street and made him the offer of a pickle if he would get the cork out for him. This the colored man did, but when be demanded the pickle Thomas, it is alleged, cursed him, and the negro cut him across the bowels with a knife, The wound was a bad one, the intestines protrud- ing. Thomas, although conscious, was not able to give an intelligible account: the affair. The colored man has not yet been arrested and no definite description of him has been obtained. George Harris, a ¢ bersburg, Pa., was arrested yesterday upon the charge of larceny. Harris had been employed matin store and search of his house by the police revealed several wagon loads of goods, all taken from the same stor oe - against | olored preacher at Cham- | ARCHER TWICE PRESENTED By the Grand Juries of Baltimore and of Anne Arundel. The Baltimore grand jury yesterday ex- amined a number of witnesses to prove the Stevenson Archer defalcation and presented Mr. Archer for embezzlement. The amount stated in the presentment is $118,000. The presentment in full 1s as follows: “The jurors of the state of Maryland, for the body of the city of Baltimore, do, on their oath, present Stevenson Archer, late treasurer of the state of Maryland, for fraudulently em- bezzling, or appropriating or embezzling to his own use, certain moneys and funds, which, by law, he was bound to pay over, account for and deliver to the treasurer of thisstate, which said sum of money amounted to $9,831.25 in cash, received by him for nine bonds of the West Virginia Central and Pittsburg Railway Com- pany, sold by him, and belonging to the state of Maryland for ‘the use of its sinking fund; and $4,570 received by him for interest upon coupons taken from bonds of the state of Maryland for the use of the sinking fund; and 118 bonds, of €1.000 each, of the following de- scription: Frederick city 4 per cent bonds. par $17,000; Baltimore and Ohio car trust 44 per cent bonds, par $3,700; treasury relief bonds, par $6,100, making in all $118.00 belonging to the state of Maryland for the use of its sinking fund, on or about the 15th day of April, 1890.” ‘The witnesses on the presentment were Ben- jamin N. Wright, chief clerk to the controller, Annapolis, M@.; John W. Middendorf of Mid- dendorf & Oliver, Baltimore, Md.; E. H. Brown, treasurer of Maryland, Annapolis, Md., and Detective Pumphrey, city hall, Baltimore. All appeared before the grand jury except Treas- urer Brown, ‘ A special to the American from Belair says: would be at his office in Belair today, but he did not putin an appearance. Mr. Archer is very much better, but is not yet strong enough to take a long journey. He spent ull day yes- terday sitting Up with all of his clothes on, ‘and appeared to be in reasonably good spirits.

The strangest marriage ever solemnized in Montreal took place at St. James’ Methodist Church Saturday. The principals were a Methodist minister, aged eighty, who led to the altar a blushing bride of eighty-four sum- mers, The happy groom was the Key. John | Prince of Moncton, New Brunswick, while the lady, who crossed the continent from Vic- toria, B. C., to make him her spouse, was Mrs. Cynthia Wood, stepmother of Josiah Wood, member of parliament for Westmoreland, New Brunswick. Ituppears that Mr. Prince and Mrs. Wood were lovers when the century Was youn. but their parents forbade the match and they parted. The clergyman re- | mained true to his boyhood love through all the weary years until his devotion was re- warded. The octogenarian groom arrived in | Montreal a week ago and put up atthe Turkish baths, After a week's treatment he entered the church fresh as a daisy, : soe | THOUSANDS SPENT FOR FLOWERS. , Great Scenes at the Floral Combat in | the City of Mexico, | The flower feast, or combat of flowers, at the City of Mexico began at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. It is calculated that 100,000 people were on the promenade of La Reforma and the | Avenida Jaurez. In addition to nearly five | hundred unadorned carriages containing sight- | seers there were over forty carriages adorned | with flowers and ribbons and fully one thou- sand horsemen added gayety to the scene. The | quantity of flowers was enormous, four car- loads coming from Jalapa alone. | The first carriage in the line was a small | pony carriage, representing a basket of flowers, | and containing the children of Delfin Sanchez | of the Inter-Oceanic railroad. The decorating | of this carriage cost $500. Next came a vic- | toria beautifully decorated with flowers in the |form of a nest. This was occupied by the Misses Santa Cecilia, Following were the car- riage of Ramon Prida Gardenia and a pour phaeton and carriage representing large bou- quets, the latter the property of Ricardo Blas- qnez. Then came a four-in-hand decorated with flowers in the Spanish colors and attended by forty cavaliers on horseback, the carriage | being filled with ladies. his feature of the festival cost $1,500. Then followed the vic- | toria of Guillermo Ache, decorated with flow- ers. Sabastian Camacho's landau came next. It had been covered with flowers to represent a bouquet and the hoofs of the horses drawing it were gilded. The carriage of Thomas Moran, which fol- lowed, was one ot the most artistic features of | the procession t came the victoria of the | German churge d'affaires, which was decorated | with water hiies, and the coupe of Mr. Lum- bull, decorated with hlies. They were fol- lowed by the dog cart of Senor Saldana, the dog cart, driven tandem, of Mrs, Reed, a victoria made to represent a peacock, and the victoria of Ignacio Bejarno, the floral decorations on which cost over $1,000, Then came the landau of Ignacio de la Turre, drawn by four horses and attended by out- | riders, the decorations representing a cost of 000 tothe owner. The pony phaeton of or Valleto followed, containing a small child seated in a shell of flowers, After this came the carriage of Mrs. President Diaz, made to represent a bouquet of pure camelias, and | many decorated carriages followed. Untortu- | nately the celebration was brought to a hasty | conclusion by rain, A Defaulter Confesse! Lindsley Rowe, the United States commis joner at Trenton, N.J., Saturday night received | cali from Caspar Soer, the chief clerk of the | Newark post office, with whom he ia well ac- | quainted. After an exchange of pleasantries | Soer said that he came to surrender himself as a defaulter, having approprinted funds to the amount of $5,000, and fearing that the govern- ment would discover his theft, he came to Trenton to surrender himself because he could t stand the exposure and shame in Newark, er, who has a young wife and child, was ap- pointed to his present position as chief clerk of the post office some four years ago, and at the time he was heavily in debt and began to steal from the moncy order department to pay off his indebtedness. He went into several specu- lations, all of which failed. — so How Senator Quay W: From the New York Sun.

Bee ba REE om BUISIRIESS THE EVENING STAR is offered to the put lic, im good faith and with confidence, as THR BEST LOCAL ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE UNITED STATES. In point of fact, it may be truthfully said that it is without am equal in this respect any where in the world, These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on each Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, publisbed in Tux Sram on the 18th of January, 1890. Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star bas three times the circu- tation of any other paper in Washing- ton! 2. The Star's circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other datly Papers published in the city added to- gother!! 3. The Star has a targer and fuller circulation in the city where printed, im preportion to reading and purchas- ing population, than any other news- paper in the world!!! 4. The Star has the targest regular and permanent home circulation of any two-cent afternoen paper in the ited States I!!! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the papery attention is invited to the figures following: PAILT CIRCULATION Tx 1885-86-87-88-89, ISS5. 1886. ISS7.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers. The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, end by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied regularly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle, While its aggregate circulation there fore gives Tuk Stan a distinctive and enviable Position in modern journalism, the fullness of | its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upoft by members of the household, and particularly by the pur- chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seci and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tue Stan's advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which any article is held by the public than a constantly increasigg demand for it—day by day, weck by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentious competition. The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEM.NTS «RINTED 15 1S85-86-87-SS-8a 1883. ISS6. ISS7. ISSS, 18S. 2,785 3,200 3,615 4,076 3547 3,924 4,669 4,603 SAIS 4,956 4,197 5,395 5,171 4,522 4,606 B3SL 3,915 3,170 3.508 4,517 4,904 5,313 5,412 5,038 4,689 6,107 5,083 5,007 5,795 TOTAL £1,499 45,910 54,038 54,801 65,523 But it is not alone in numbers that the great increase of advertising is shown. The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1839 as compared with that occupied ig 1888 is even more striking. ‘The average daily space filled by advertise- ments in 1688 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year 1849 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns im the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre vious yearof 1444 columns! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, ete,, such as occasionally swell the business of political organs, being included im its patrom age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, im proportion to the extent and high character Of its circulation, Tux Sran’s advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement hereia made can be abundantly verified) THE CIL+ CULATION OF THE PAPER 1S SWORN TO; ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING 40 DITEREST IN THELE EXAMDIATION,
