Ina chapter in regard to the difficulty of en- forcing the law of the land, the Attorney Gen- eral in his annual report says: “It is certainly an anomaly in government that those who have committed murders for the purpose of stopping prosecution in the fed- eral courts should not only not be punished, but not even be put upon trial, although in at Jenst two cases in one district “during 1890 ‘well known. Yet euch is the fact. It is needless to say that the federal courts have no adequate jurisdiction of these offenses. “Notwithstanding the difficulties of the sit- uation the officers of ‘this department have been diligent in executing the laws, In prose cutions for violations of the cloction laws in several districts convictions and pleas of guilty have been obtained in a large number of cases. Asan illustration, however, of the difticulties met in such prosecutions the district attorney for one district reports that ina certain county,a, number of whose citizens were convicted of vio~ lations of the election laws, the county court ordered that all fines and costs assessed against them in the United States court be paid ont of the county treawury, and that in another county, a number of whose citizens were in like manner convicted or had plead guilty to indictments for such offenses in the United States court, $1.300 was actually paid out of the county treasury upon such fines and costs in one day. ‘These facts speak for themselves.” Saag ee THE DIVORCE MILL. One Granted, Two Bills Dismissed and One Applied For. In the case of Katie L. Leo against Paul K. Lee today Judge Hagner made a decree of di- vorce, giving the complainant the right to re- sume her maiden name of Corliss and the cus- tody of her child. ‘The bill filed by R. W. Johnston seta forth the marriage at 1806 5th street July 29, 1886; that they lived together Sill January 12, 1888, when she charges he de- serted. Judge Hagner directed that the divorce suit of Bernard M. Winters against Lillie C. Winters be dism: the proof of charges being doubt- fal. The bill states that they were married Feb- ruary 2, 1882; that they have two children, and he charges ‘that in eptember, 1886, the de- fondant left him without cause and went to her parents, and that her father had him discharged is position at the government printing Marié Allen, by E. M. Hewlett, today filed a petition for a divorce from James Allen. They were married by Rev. Robert Johnson August 25,1873, and she charges desertion August 30, 1887.

As visitors to Paris know, one of the great features of the Bon Marche, the famous dry goods emporium of that city, is its spacious picture gallery, which affords such a delightful meeting and lounging place for its patrons. Whether influenced by this example, or moved by an original inward impulse to make their fine establishment still more attract Mossre. Woodward & Lothrop some time since determined to add to it a of fine arts, and last evening it was ‘opened to # large number of invited guests. Naturally good deal is expected from the good taste and enterpri rive of the ‘gentlemen composing the firm, but it is quite enfe to say that there were very few present who were not alike surprised and pleased, both at the extent and quality of the display. This will easily be underciood when it is stated that the catalog contains | the names of such noted artists as Rousseau, Fortuny, Troyon, Diaz, Wolf, Jacque, Berne- Bellecour, Stuart, Rico, Israels, Henner, Mac- nab, Walker, Ridgway Knight, Faulkner, Comte-Calix, 'Grolleron, Seignac, —Parede ‘Thom, and many others of hardly fers rept ‘The most striking canvas shown was the lar painting by Otto Wolf, representing “Christ and the Adulterces,” which fills the entire end of the main gellery, and which is conspicuons for its artistic merit as well as for its size. It takes rank with Munkaczy's “Christ before Pilate,” and will doubtless be preferred by | many to that famous picture. An original por- trait of Washington by Gilbert Stuart also attracted much attention, as did a water color by Fortuny, figure subjects by Henner, Isracls, Compte-Calix, Grolleron, Kurdos, Herrmann, Sieler, Roybet, Diaz, Knight and Bellecour; animals by Troyon and Jacque, and landscapes by Rousseau, Rico, Faulkner and Mzcnab. ‘The space devoted to the fine arts consists of two spacious and well lighted galleries, thi larger of which is to be devoted to oil paint- ings, the other to water colors, and it is the purpose of the proprietors to keep this depart- ment of the establishment always fresh and at- tractive in itself as a repository of the fine arts, and a special advantage to Washington artists, whose works will always be welcomed laced, whether for exhibition or sale. ‘The selections and arrangements for the opening night were left largely if not wholly to Col, A. Gross, the mown art dealer from Paris, who will remain in charge for a limited term, and reflected great credit upon his crit- ical judgment and good taste. ‘The attendance included many ladies promi- nent in society anda large number of gentlemen of leading positionsin political, professional and business life, An attractive luncheon was served during the evening in adjoining rooms. ee ALEXANDRIA, Reported for The Evening Star. PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD—THE HOLIDAYS. The city school board met last night. The superintendent reported that the free art echool, had been opened with twenty-six pupils.

An English Ordnance Expert's Opinion of the ‘Guns Made at the Navy Yard. Lieut. Col. W. Hope, V.C., of the British army, who isan ordnance expert of high rep- utation, recently visited the gun shops at the navy yard in this city and has writ- ten toa navy officer a letter, acknowledging the superiority of American ordnance and gun shops. In this letter Col. Hope says the his- tory of rifled guns in England has been one un- broken record of failure. ‘ith this long, de- pressing record of failuresin England,” he said, “I was quite unprepared for your brilliant success in this country. I assumed that you were copying our blunders, but to my astonish- ment you are making none. Your gunshop is the best—not the largest, but the best—in the world. Itis simply perfect. I ean find noth- ing to criticise anywhere. Your latest and largest lathes are the best Iever saw. Your gun, though on the same general lines and principles as ours, is much = im- prove dcsign, ” especially in the greater thickness’ of the central tube. The obturator is also slightly improved, and there is a most useful ratchet for unscrew- ing the breech. But when we turn from the design to the execution Iam lost in admiration of the perfection of your work. Your standard of steel is higher tin ours, and the minute care with which all measurements are adhered to and the exactness with which every part is finished are beyond all praise. Your naval guns are superior to those or any other power at the present moment.” In an interview in New York, speaking of the Washington gun foundry, Col. Hope said: “At this latter place I for the first time in my life became convinced that it was possible to con- struct a perfect ‘built-up’ gun. ‘This is a result Thave long contended was impossible to at- tain. Inow see that I wasinerror. Mind you, Ido not say that I believe that the ‘built-up’ gun is the best gun that can be devised, but I josay that the ‘built-up’ gun of the United States navy,as turned out at the Washington gun foundry, is the most perfect gun in existence. ‘ll go further than this and say that I be- lieve, and know it to be a fact, that the “built- up’ gun, as now used in the United States navy, in, the best and most powerful gun afloat or is nota if # H Eid i Hl ci eg deep regret for the loss both ciates and the community hay _ YOUTHFUL Nov: The case of John Green, James Griffin and Lewis Wells, three colored boys, indicted with Frank Taylor, who hed plead guilty, for house- breaking in entering the fruit and candy stand of M.

He is forcing Gladstone's hand and the entire Irish party to declarations of « policy which cannot be accepted by the Englis home rulers. Tt was resolved this evening to form a com mittee, of which Mr. Parnell is a member, for opening negotiations with Mr. Gladstone. By a letter which has already been written and sent he is asked whether be will agree to hand over the Irish constabulary and the settlement estion to a home whey crubilsbed , or undertake to deal with the agrarian difficulty himself in his own scheme, but the surrender of the constabu- lary to the Irish {tis an inflexible con- dition.
