COMMISSIONER LYMAN’S PLEA. He Defends Himself From the Censure of tne House Committee. Commissioner Lyman sent to the House civil service committee yesterday a long letter appealing from their conclusions in the report onthe Campbell case. He asserts that the questions which Mr. Campbell copied were not current at the time, and in support of the as- sertion offers an affidavit from Secretary Doyle of the commission. In the whole transaction Mr. Lyman said his part had been that of an upright officer and honest man, The censure placed upon him by the committee report did hima grievous wrong, and he trusted the committee would withdraw it, As to the Milwaukee ber office matter. Mr. Lymn aud he had disptfyed ail proper zeal and diligence. ‘Ihe evidence before the com- mirsion at the original investigation had been 80 irreconcilable as to demand further in- quiriea, These it was impossible for him to make, being then the only member of the com- mission and busily engaged fm preparing for railway mail service examinations, The re- px of the committee on this point also did im great injustice, _He takes exceptions to the general conclu- sion of the committee in their report, saying: “The final and general conclusion of the com- mittee is that ‘the official conduct of Comimir- sioner Lyman has been characterized by inxity of disciplive in his administration of the affairs of the commission and is therefore censurable.’ This conclusion in its terms is sweeping. cov- ering the whole of my official conduct, and yet it is based upon a consideration of only three isolated actions, and those widely separated. Admitting, for the illustration, that these in- dividual acts were censurable, I believe that the committee, on fuller investigation, will be convinced that they based too broad a conclu- sion upon a very narrow premise. My work in the commission dates from its organization and as a commissioner covers & period of more than four years. The committee bas taken no general view of that work, its charecter or its results, or the circumstances, often of the most difficult and perplexing nature, under which it has been performed, and, in the ua- ture of things, cannot know whether my gen- eral official conduct has been characterized by laxity of discipline or not, Into that conduct T invite the most searching scrutiny, confident that such scrutiny can heve but one result. Errors of judgment may be found, but there is no dishonest or cowardly act in the record, “While I do not wish to avoid any responsi- bility that properly belongs to me it would be unfair to nie, im any general view of the work of the commission, to overlook the fact that for nearly three years Iwas the minority com- the miuates of the commission, which show when and on what matters I differed with my colleagues.” CAPITOL GLEANINGS. The Arid Lands Amendment to the Sundry Civil Bill Passes the Senate. The committee amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill in the place of the ap- propriation of $720,000 for arid land surveys The was adopted by the Senate yesterday, umendment reads as follows: Increasing from $200,000 to $300,000 the ap- propriation for topographic surveys, ‘one-half of which sum shall be expended west of the 101st meridian. and so much of the act of Oc- tober 2, 1668, entitled ‘An act making appro- priations for sundry civil expenses of the gov- ernment for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1889, and for other purposes,’ as provides for the selection and location of reservoirs and canals upon the public land and the reserva- tion of irrigable land is hereby repealed. Pro- vided, that reservoir and cai ites heretofore located or selected shull in Begregated and reserved from entry or settlement until otherwise provided by law. Subsequeutly the stem for $720,000 for the irrigation survey was stricken from the bill, the fate of that enterprise having been settled by the adoption of the amendment. SUGAR PARAGRAPH OF THE TARIFF BILL. Mr. Pierce offered in the Senate yesterday an amendment to the sugar paragraph of the tariff bill to add the following words: “And provided further that after one year from the date of the passage of this act, and in the absence of further bey sear by Congress on this subject, the President may, in his dis- cretion, direct that the duties ou sugar im- | sy under the laws in force on the 30th of june, 1890, be reimposed as against any nation or country failing to enter into adequate reia- tions with the United States regarding the agricultural _— of this country, aud the President is directed to pursue such’ negotia- tions as may be deemed necessary to secure by treaty or otherwise the unrestricted entry into any such country or countries of the agricul- tural products of the United States.” NOMINATIONS CONFIRMED. The Senate in executive session yesterday confirmed the following nominations: James Russell Soley of Massachusetts, assist- ant secretary of the navy. Allured B. Nottleton of Minnesota and Oliver L. Spaulding of Mich- igan, assistant secretaries of the treasury. Hen- derson M. Somerville of Alabama, J.

ABoy Who Attached a Tin Can te it Fined in the Police Court. A Chinese Isundryman whs Crossing the cable line a few evenings ago, when to his sur- prise he suddenly and involuntarily sat down with much force, When he arose his face wore an expression of mingled pain and aston- ishment, Turning to see what bad boy had played a practical joke on him bis eyes fell upon a tin can that was down the street atarapid rate. “Catch it!” was all that the poor Chinaman could «ay before ar- ranging his pi tail and disordered ciothing, but there was no one who would dare attempt to stop the cable. He stood still for a few moments, listening to the rattling sound of the cable and looking through the siot, when a pasteboard box came along aud struck him, By this time the Chinaman began to think that the whole world was against him and be screamed for help, much to the amusement of the bystanders, While the = Chinaman was = thinking over bis misfortune a number of emall boys were on tho adjvining square attaching the tin cane, boxes and bundles of paper to the cable, the sight of those objects sliding swiftly down the street in several instances frightening horses. ‘he way the boys worked their scheme was to attach a piece of string or wire and at the end the wire was 90 arranged as to catch the cable and be taken along until it either struck @ car or reached the power house. Oue of the voys who engaged in this sort of sport yesterday was arrested for dis- orderly conduct, and he gave his name as Charles Mackall, He was caught by on of the conductors, When he appeared in the Police Court this morning the bundle of paper, with string and wire attached, was offered in evi- dence, and Judge Miller fined the boy @5 or fifteen days ou the farm. ——— HOW WHITE LOOKS IN JAIL. His Eyes Are Sunken and He fs Sallower —Refuses to Talk. Seated in his cell at the District jail today, writing an account of his recent trip to Ken- tucky, sat B Shephard White, alleged forger. A fellow prisoner, acting under instructions, called White to the grating to see a Stan re- porter. When the prisoner appeared the reporter was struck with the great change that had taken plnce. His eyes wore sunken, and big black rings circled around them, while his complexion was much sallower than when he ‘was first incarcerated, “Oh, I'm ail right, he said, in answer to the reporter's inquiry, but I can’t say anything to you. My lawyer forbids “How do they treat yo “Just like all the rest,"was the reply, and he shuddered. Around him were criminals of all sizes, some dirty and sullen, others nervous and seared, but all with an anxious look in their faces, THE PRISONER'S FAIR CORRESPONDENTS. There was some uneasiness among the fair ones who corresponded with B. Shepherd White, and the story was given out that he had destroyed their letters, but this it appears was not so, How many letters he has is not known, but a large package of them is locked BE in the district attorney's safe and it is possible that they may never be made public.aithough it may be found. necessary to use some of them in case the prisoner is ever brought to trial, DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. MAKING NEW STREETS. The engineer department is daily in receipt of letters in which people offer togive a certain amount of land to widen and open streets, with the proviso that the District of Columbia im- prove the same. Under the law Capt. Rossell says this cannot be done. The street could be repaired and put in passable condition if there were any great necessity for it, but outside of this nothiug can be done except in two ways, first, under the permit system and the grading under the law allowing 10 cents per cubic yard to be paid, and, second, by getting an act of Congress requiring the improvement of the street by name. Capt. Rosseli says the law [pepe the District from going in and mak- a ntw street unless Congress specially pro- vides for it. THE FILLING OF N STREET SOUTHEAST.

To the Faitor of Tar Kvesixo Star: Ata meeting of citizens of South Washing- ton} held last evening the undersigned were appointed a committee to express to you their appreciation of the interest manifested by you in opposition to the passage of the Atkinson bill, and through your columns to express to each and every individual member of the House of Representatives who interested him- self in our behalf our sincere thanks, ‘To those in opposition to us we have notbing to say cept in the case of Mr, Mudd, and his remarks we cannot pass by unnoticed. Even his re- marks we would pass had they not referred to our section as “an abode of crime, filth and un- healthfulness to such an extent that the city at large would be better off if every fuot of it was girded witha railroad track.” Before vot- ing either for or against a Dill of so much im- portance as this one, granting such franchises as this proposed to grant to the Pennsylvania railroad, and depriving citizens not only of their property but making it hazardous for them to pass to and from their homes, it does seem to us that the gentlemen should have familiarized themselves with the property they were about to donate. They should have passed over the ground, and no doubt many of them did; but if our friend. Mr. Mudd,did and described the ground passed over he evidently was imposed upon by some one; and if he bas passed over the ground and inspected it and its surroundings, as described by bim.then we cau excuse even him, Murder Bay and Hell's Bottom are both tocated in the northwestern section of the city, The rail- ds, or at least that branch of the railroads referred te in this bill, are located in the south- eastern and southwestern section; hence we ean but infer that Mr. Mudd was arguing a pant that he knew nothing about and we can atexcuse his ignorance. Now, in regard to the filth we have not one word to say, but refer that portion of his harangue to the honorable District Commissioners, as we pay more taxes in proportion to our wealth than any other section of our city. ‘As regards the healthfplness, we believe our section will compare favorably with most any section of the city. the statement of our ex- Commissioners to the contrary notwithstanding, and ay regards crime, we have only to that the fact of our people allowing illegal tracks to remain and appealing to the courts for redress instead of attempting to correct the same by brute force. is the best evidence of how peuceable aud law abiding we are.
