A Revised Official Count Gives the Num- ber of Drowned 567. ALTAR, March 19.—The revised official count of the lost and saved passengers and crew of the ill-fated hor line steamship Utopia shows that there were 590 souls on board the steamer when she ran on the Anson. Of this number the saved include 29) steerage passengers, two saloon passengers, three Italian interpreters and twenty-three of the crew, all the latter bemg Englishmen or men who had shipped at English ports. A GUASTLY SPECTACLE. Special Cable Dispatch to The Eveniny Star. Gusnatee, March 19.—A diver who has just returned from the sunken Utopia describes the condition of the between-decks and cabins of the fated vessel as presenting one of the most ghastly spectacles he ever witnessed. Hundreds of corpses are strewn about in all sorts of attitudes denoting the frantic etforte of the drowned and suffocated victims to es cape their doom. Every hour fresh corpses are brought from the sliore. The amount al- ready subscribed to the relief fund exceeds $3,000 and the generous but not very wealthy citizens are insisting that the government shail contribute a considerable amount from the colonial funds. The funeral today of the two men, James Crotton, able seaman, and Geo. Hales, stoker, drowned from the pinnace of the [mmortalite while engaged in rescuing the shipwrecked passengers of the Utopia. was « most impressive sight. The combined bands of the channel fleet played funeral marches, while 600 bluejackets, led by their officers, escorted the bodies to the cemetery opposite Government House. Wreaths were placed on ‘the coffins on behalf of the residents of Gibral- tar, and all the shops were closed as the pro- cession passed through the town. =e HAT MAKERS STRI About 800 Leave the Shops in New York, New York, March 19.—A general strike of all the union cloth hat and cap makersin this city, 900 in number, employed by seventeen firms, occurred this morning. ‘The shops are situated mostly in Green, Houston and Mercer streets and south Sth avenue.

Stocks Show .. Little Animation in the Morn- ing, but Afterward Are Dull. New Yorx, March 19.—The unsettled feeling in Wall street was still reflected by dullness and stagnation in the stock market this morning, but « heavy tone marked the dealings without material changes in quotations. First prices were generally slight fractions lower than last evening’s figures, but the succeeding fluctuations were in all’ cases insignificant, without marked tendency in either direction, ‘There was still some animation in both st. Pani and Burlington, but the fluctuations in those stock were no more important than in the general list. Late in the hour a firm tone be- came apparent and a slight upward movement oceurred, but the gains were slight in all cases. AtI1 o'clock the market, while very dull, was very firm atashade better than opening fig- ures. Money is easy at 23/03 per cent. The stock market after 11 o'clock lost its firm tone, but the trading was carried on on a much smaller scale than during the first hour and the fluctua- tions were on # corresponding ratio.

L A private cablegram | THE CITY POST OFFICE. No Authority for the Commissioners to Give Land for a Temporary Balding. The communication of Postmaster General Wanamaker to the Commissioners, which was referred to some daysagoin Tar Star, sub- mitting an inquiry as to whether the title of the reservation in front of the Center Market between Sth and 9th streets is vested in the District of Columbia, and if so requesting the Commissioners of the District to grant the Post Office Department on behalf of the United States permission to erect a temporary struc- ture upon the weatern half of said reservation tobe used as¢ Washiugton city post office pending the completion of a new structure anthorized by Congres# at Ith and Pennsyl- Vania avenue, was referred to the attorney for the District for report. Today he submitted iis opinion. He says that the property re- ferred to by the Postmaster General was originally a part of the land granted by Congress to the Washington Market Company. By the act of March 3, 1873, Con- gress authorized the governor and board of pu | seenre sufficient land fronting on Pennsylvania |and Louisiana avermes between 7th and %th | streets, the same to be applied by said District only for the erection of a suitable building for District oftice Under this anthority, says Mr. Hazelton, the governor and bourd of public works made an | agreement, bearing date March 13, 1873, with | the Washington Market Company by which | that company released to the District of Co- |Iumbia for a term of years the property in question for the “purj indicated in the act to wit, as a site for District buildings. Immediately following the conveyance from the imarket company to the Distriet the board public works caused plans of District build- Ks to be prepared and commenced [work upon the foundation. This work, | Mr. Hazelton says, was never finished | being arrested by an’ act of Congress which in no way questioned the title of the District of Columbia to the site. Since ihat time the property has re- mained in its present condition under the control of the District of Columbia set apart and designated by a law of Congress as a site for District building and for no other _pur- pose whatever. The Comminsi Mr. Hazel- ton says, in his judgment, have no power to authorize any diversions from the clearly expressed condition upon which the “title of the District to this land rests. The District, says Mr. Hazelton in conclusion, is sorely in need of suitable build- ings of its own in which to transact its import- ant busine id preserve its important books, records, documents and papers fron loss and destruction by fire or otherwise. Sites for such ‘buildings in the city are growing more valuable and more difficult to obtain in every day and wisdom would seem to dictate that the District. government should hold fast to this site, and urge upon Congress the importance of making appropriations to carry out the purpose for which it was dedi- cated to the Distric!

Duncanson testified that he was en- gaged in the real estate business and as auc- tioneer. He became interested in the square in 1890—in parcels 6, 14, 15 and 23. He had an option on parcels 6 and 14 and had deeds for 15 and 23. He regurded this square more valuable than square 255. He got the option for parcel 6 at £5,000 ‘through Squire Ciark. The prices of options in square 205 were higher than insquare 323. ‘The option on lot 14 was €12.000. He bought 15 for £12,000 and 23 for $16,000. There had been sales in the square north, 11th and E, the best for 325,000 for a fourth in- terest. The corner opposite sold a year ago for £8 per foot, and it hud been sold. since for double, he was informed at £25 per foot. A pice on 11th strect north of E recently sold for $22,000. It was 18 by 9 fect. In the square east, between 10th and 11th, there had been sales—one for $39,000—and ‘he doubted whether it conid be had 'for double. He be- lieved it was worth as much us Jndge Strong's parchase—12th and F streots—$25 and 249 per oot. ‘The southeast corner of 10th and Pennsylva- nia avenue had been bought for $22 per foot. Avenue property had picked up considerably within the past year, ‘There were options on the 11th street front of the square as high as 315 per foot, and on B street €6. He had offered parcel 6 at $10.50 14 and 15 at the same and 23 at $18, byt it was now worth 25 percent more. The B street front was worth 00 per cent more than the C strect front, the corner of Lith and D streets $2 per foot and the Globe Theater parcel was worth us much. ‘To Mr. Yaggert Mr. Duncanson said he con- sidered the north side of Pennsylvania avenue from {th street west. was more valuable than the south side, but some high sales had been made on the south side; but little on the north side had been for sale. ‘There were some pieces of property on the sonth side of the avenue be- tween th and 10th streets which would bring as much as if it were on the north side Mr. Duncunson was examined at length as to values and sud that the building adjoining Harvey's was sold for an entrance to Kernan’s ‘Theuter for $10.54 per foot, buildings included.

Another brief was filed with the Commis- sioners this morning in relation to the recent act of Congress prohibiting the sale of liquor within one mile of the Soldiers’ Home. The brief is in the interest of the customers of the Chris Henrich Brewing Company and was pre- pared by Mr. Leon Tobriner. Attention is called to the act and that portion of it which License for the sale of intoxicating No license for the sale of intoxicating liquor, the brief says, is recognized in our law. ‘There isa license to the proprietors of bar rooms, sample rooms or tippling houses, which are de- fined as places where distilled or fermented liquors are sold in less quantities than one pint, to be drank on the premises, and it is by an in- rpretation based upon law makers that the uct in question could be construed as prohibiting the granting of a li- cense to the proprietor of a bar room, sample Tom or tippling, house situated within one the mile of ‘Boldiers’ Home. ‘The act, the brief continues, becomea more ambiguous when the proscribed places of business are defined to be those within one mile of the Soldiers’ Home property in tie Dis- trict of Columbia, and the question then arives what shall be the beginning point of the one- ile measurement. The act under considera- tion, the brief says, is of doubtful meaning and application and it was the intention of Congress to compel any inmate of the Soldiers’ Home to walk a mile before he would reach a place where liquor was disposed of. In other words, the object of the act was the protection of the inmates of the Soldiers’ Home. These in- mates reside in the building known as the Soldiers’ Home. ‘They live — there; sleep there, take their meals and no other building ix known as the Home. ‘Therefore, the brief continues, the title of the act so directs and shows that it was the intention of the legislature that that building should be the starting point.

Thirty New Ones Provided for Under Recent Congressional Appropriations. Dr. Dorchester, the superintendent of Indian schools, and his wife, who is » special agent, will leave this week for the Sioux country. They expect to be absent abont four months, and during that time they will visit all of the fifty-one Indian schools in the two Dakotas and make arrangements for the establishment of new schools in the Sioux country. Congress at the last session made lib- eral appropriations for education among the Sioux and Dr. Dorchester finds that he will be able to establish no less than thirty mew day schools. He intends to locate these new schools at the most aveilable points where it will be convenient for the Indians to send their children. Day schools will be located at all the new subissne stations which will be established in the Sioux country, and, in addition, echools will be lo- eaten at other points. It’ ia the intention to erect at the points selected a school house and w house for the teachers and when the teachers are supplied the schools will be opened for business. ‘New industrial schools will be established by De. Docheater at Flandrenu. 8.D.; at Pipe Stone, Minn., and on the Rosebud agency. The industrial schools are large establishments ae compared with the day achools, as provision must be made for acconimodations for teachers and scholars. It is thought that when the new schools are provided that the Sioux will be well supplied with educational facilities. sess THEY WILL GET THEIR DUE.

Mr. Perkins was chair- man of the House committee on Indian affairs and, therefore, knows something about the matter. “‘Secretary Noble,” continued Mr. Perkins, ‘‘is not going to take any hurried or inconsiderate action, and, as a matter of fact, can do nothing until the Indians themselves move. Sofar no agreement has been made with them. When they have done what the law requires tho Secretary will consider the matter and his conclusions will be forwarded to the President for approval. The amount involved is largo and the Secretary does well to move with deliberation. It may be eaid that Congress erred on the side of liberality, and perhaps such an opinion hae a solid basis, but the error will be a popular one. For years we have been told that the government was cheat- ing the Indians; it is a relief to know of one case in which the Indians will gets little bit ahead of the government. “When am I going home? In about two weeks. Iam not going to stay home, however. My residence will continue to be in Kansas, but Iohall live here most of the time. Am going to practice law, attend to Indian depredation claims and worry the officials of the general Jand office. ‘Think I'll go down. street and seo sbout having a shingle painted.” MONEY FOR INDIANS, Over Two Million Dollars to Be Distributed to the Red Men. The large sum of nearly two million and a quarter of dollars has been authorized to be distributed by Congress among the various Indian tribes of the country. This money, with two exceptions, is not to be paid, as is usually the case, in trust for the Indians, but it is to be distributed per capita, each Indian in the tribe to receive his share. These payments are made princi- pally to satisfy claims for land taken by the government from the Indians and represent an aggregation of claims that have been accumu- lating for some time, and alyo the results of the recent cession of lands. There has seldom, if ever, been a period in the history of Indian ‘administration when such a large amount of money has been authorized to be paid directly into the hands of the Indians. It is stated at the Indian office that no previous Con, has accomplished more in the settlement of Indian claims and the ratification of long-pending agreements with the Indians for lands than’ was done by the last Congress. While making these large ap- propriations for the Indians no special provi- sion was enacted by Congress in many of the cases for the necessary expense attending tne disbursements. HOW THE MONEY SHALL BE DISBURSED. On this account the Secretary of the Interior finds himself somewhat embarrassed because the ordinary agencies of the department are not adequate for the prompt disbursement of these large sums required to be paid out in limited periods, there bemg one case where the time is limited to sixty days. This circumstance may cause delay in paying out the moncy, unless the expense can be borue from the sum to be paid. In one or two cases Secretary Noble has directed the pay- ments to be made by the Indian agents and has directed the remittance of small installments of the sum to be paid from time to time. CASH PAYMENTS TO BE DISTRIBUTED. ‘The cash payments required to be distributed per capito among Indian tribes by Congress at the last session are as follows: Miami Indians in Kansas and Indian terri- tory, about 261,000; the confederated tribes of Thea, Peoria, Kaskaskia and Pianke- shaw Indians, Indian ‘Territory, about $52,000; Big Jim's band of Shawnees, Indian territory (in discretion of the Secretary of the Interior), 317,000; the citizen Wyandotte, Kansas, $13,000; to certain members of the Creek tribe who have removed from the east to the west in Indian territory, £7,000; Delaware In- dians, Indian territory, nearly $500,000; \the citgen band “of — Pottawatomie, | Indian territory, £160,000; absentee Shaw- |nee Indians, “Indian territory, $65,000; Chevenue and Arapahoe, Indian’ territory, €250,000 per capita and $250,000 for and in their behalf; Ceur d'Alene Indians, Idaho, $500,000: Sisseton and Wahpeton, North Dakota, £876,000; to scouts and soldiers of the Sisseton, Wahpeton, Medawakanton and Wapa- koota bands of Sioux Indians, North Dakota, 126,000; Crow Indians, Montana, 236,000. TO THE CHOCTAWS AND CHICKASAWS. In addition provision was made for the pay- ment of the large sum of nearly €3,000,000 to the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes of Indian territory in payment of their claim to lands within the territory covered by the cession of | the lands by the Cheyenne and Arapahoe In- dians. About $20,000 was appropriated for the Cherokee Indisns us proceeds of land sold in the strip in Kan: — NOT GRIP BUT INFLUENZA, Character of the Cold With Which Nearly Everybody ts Suffering. “I believe I have the grip,” is what many people are now suying, and rumor has it that there are several thousand cases of that disease in the city. The health officials, however, say that such is not the case. The name for colds this season is “influenza” instead of “grip,” so Stan reporter was infomed. Health Ofticer Townshend said he did not be- lieve that there was any grip here now, and Persons who imagine they are afficted with it only want tobe in fashion. “I don't believe,” he said, “‘that there is a case of genuine grip in the city unless it is the effect of the disease con- tracted a year ago.

Unless Something is Done He Will Be a Doomed Staple Before Long. WHOLESALE GATHERING CAN'T GO ON WITHOUT UTTER DESTRUCTION—SOME SUPERVISION aB- SOLUTELY NECESSARY—WHAT A MEMBER OF THE FISH COMMISSION SAYS ON THE SUBJECT. The alarming decrease in the annual oyster crop in the Chesapeake bay bas at last began to arouse attention in the matter and the question hasbeen asked, how long can this go on? and the question still remains unanswered. Even the oystermen themselves, who have always been opposed to any action leading toa state supervision of the oyster beds, are beginning to realize that something must be done or the time will soon come when they will be out of a job. [The great mass meeting that was held in Baltimore last night shows that the question isone that must be answered. Fish Commis- siyner McDonald, Prof. Brooks of Johns Hop- kins and Hon. John K. Cowen were among the speakers that addressed the meeting and called attention to the fact that the oyster is a doomed staple unless something is done to take care of him. In 1890 the entire take from the Ches- apeake bay and its tributaries was less than one-half what it was in 1880 and it took a very much larger number of oystermen to get even this dimished quantity off the bottom than it did tho larger supply @ decade ago. Hitherto the oystermen have been opposed to putting any legal restrictions upon their labors or limitations apon the territory over which they should have fall sway. Thoy are patting the proverbial goose to death and gol- lon CRG ae getting scarce. It is just as it would wheat fields were common prop- erty. Everybody would be willing to reap bat not one would care to sow for some one elke to gather the increase. Just what is to be doue in the matter is another question. WHOLESALE GATHERING CANNOT GO ON. Mr. Richard Rathbun of the fish commission spoke very earnestly on the matter of the dis- appearance of the oyster in conversation with @ Star reporter this morning. “The oyster ” he said, “tare brought face to face with a condition, and they are begiuning to see that the wholesale gathering of oysters cannot go on indefinitely as things are now. it is pos- sible with tongs and dredges for them to take every oyster out of a bed and leave the bottom bare. And that is just what they have been doing. In Maryland’ any citizen of the tate may work the beds as much as he wishes and the result is becoming very evident in the scarcity of the oyster. “The whole coast of the United States is adapted for the cultivation of the oyster from Massachusetts to Texas. Massachusetts is a little far north for them, butalong Coanecticut they thrive splendidly, though it ix in the Chesapeake waters that they come to the very best. Farther south they have the “ oysters that grow between the tide le eis, On account of the mild tem; ture they can live out of during the low tide. ‘These oysters are long and thin and do not grow as large or fut as the Chesapeake oysters. In North Carolina, South Carohna and Georgia they have begun the | system of state supervision of oyster beds, and itis found to work splendidly. SUPERVISION WORKS WELL IX CONNECTICUT. “It is in Connecticut, however, that this system is most fully carried into effect. There the natural oyster beds along the shores are | reserved for public use, but out beyond that, where the bottom is suited to cultivation, it is platted off and sold to the oysterman and a title given the sume as property on land. This ownership transtuittable and in many cusex ix very valuable. The owner has full coutrol over this water und he can plant bis oysters and cul- tivate them withont any fear that some one else will reap the profits. His rights are re- spected and it ix to his interest to keep hi beds from being destroyed. The oysters | are caught in the natural beds and be buys the seed oysters and plants them and then lets them grow in peace toa marketable ma- turity. This iv a very profitable business and | there is not a more prosperous set of men in the state than those who enguge in it. lo show how well the system works I can tell | you thut the oyster crop in Connecticut has in- | | creased four times in the pust ten years, while | in the Chesapeake it has decreased considera~ bly more than a half in the same period. Some- thing of this sort must be done in the Chesa- peake or the oyster will soon be exterminated. ‘he oyster business in all its branches hus al- ways been one of the most profitable industries in Maryland, but the end is in sight if the pres- ent methods continue. | ARTIFICIAL CULTURE MUST COME. “Still even the system followed in Connecti- cut is a crude one and is hardly culture at all, properly speaking. In Europe, now, the oyster is hatched and nurtured artificially. Especially ‘is this the case in France, where the business oyster ia an expensive but no more so than to be over here very soon. coming to is artificial production in ponds along the shore that can be flooded by means | of inlets and canals, in addition to the natural | oyster beds. The fish commission is making » special study of this matter now, and_will soon have something definite to say about it. “Artificial culture can be made to pay splen- didly, and there is no business that offers bet- ter inducements than the oyster business if it is but wisely and judiciously followed. ‘There is plenty of bard work, of course, but there are large returns to be had as well, and the time is soon coming when the natural supply will be utterly inadequate for the ordinary demand.” MR. HOGAN'S PROPOSED REXEDY. “Something has got to be done,” John Hogan. “I never saw the oyster business in such a bad way. It is getting worse and worse all the time, nntil it is almost impossible to get oysters that are worth anything at all, ‘The prices have been going upon me until I have to pay very nearly as much for the goods | to the boat captains asI get from my cus-| tomers. And yet I have got to buy whether I | want to or not. Folks must have oysters. But Thave not raised my retail prices yet. Ihave preferred to sell on close margins in the hope | that something better would turn up. Then the quality of the oysters we get is bad. It is next to impossible to find real first-class oysters nywhere, and Ihave to pay the highest rates for them.’ The whole trouble lies in the sum- mer sales of oysters. If Congress would pass a | Jaw making it a crime to cateh oysters in_sum- mer time. or to sell them, there would be a great relief on the beds.
