The only improvement that is con- templated before the new app is available at the begining of the next fiscal Year is that of laying an asphalt pavement on the west side of the monument, where the bill in steep and where gravel pavement is washed badly by every hard rain. There are two improvements for which a] Propriation is made, for expenditure after July , Which aro greatly needed. One of these is for a granite gurbing around Lafayette square in place of the uncouth stone base of the heavy iron fence which was removed nearly two years ago. The other is for replacing the old flaggin; pavement on Pennsylvania avenue in front of the Executive Mansion by a grandolithic pave- ment Another expenditure which will be made during tho next year is that of €40,000 for re- surfacing the asphalt pavement at the eastern front of the Capitol. Col. Ernst is now out of town and what bis plans are for improvement of parks during the next year cannot be learned at present. ———_—_-e+—____ TORPEDO BUAT NUMBEK TWO. Why No Award of the Contract for Its Con- straction Has Been Made. There is a good deal of surprise in the naval circles of the city that Secretary Tracy should delay for so long awarding the contract for the torpedo boat No. 2, for which bids were opened at least two months ago. There were but two bidders, of whom the Cowles firm of New York was the lower on the plans of the government. They have never built such a craft, however, and there is no certainty that their work would be satisfactory, whereas the fortunate experi- ence of the Herreschoffs, the rival bidders, on the Cushing, is an element that prejudices the Secretary in favor of the latter. The Cowles lan contained no novel features, while the Trerreschotts, bidding higher on the same plan, submitted an ative bid on larger boat than that called for by the adver tisement, with certain guarantees of peculiar advantage, according to the claims of the bid- ders. It is understood that the delay in = the award comes from a desire on the part oi the Secretary to give the work to the Herres- choffs, in view of their splendid performance with the Cushing, and is holding off in order to get information on the subject of torpedo boat construction Pose of determining the value of Herreschoff’s alternative plan. He accordingly requested Lieut. Winslow, the commander of the Cush- ing, to give him his views on the subject, and that officer responded with a voluminous docu- ment that the Secretary has not had time to read. It is not known which way the lieutenant leans, but the Secretary is likely to be guided by his opinion. Population and the Atmosphere. ‘The census office has issued a bulletin upon the subject of the distribution of population in accordance with mean relative humidity of the atmosphere. The reason for publishing these statistics is because of climatic influences on diseases. It shows that nearly all the popula- tion of the United States breathe an atmos- phere containing 65 to 75 per cent of its full capacity of moisture—that is, the atmosphere is from two-thirds to three-fourths saturated. In 1890 57,036,000 out of 62,622,250 were found in this region; in 1880, : 46,559,000 ont of 50,185,768, and'in 1870, 36,979,000 out of 38,568,371. The number i trifling, numbering in 1870 less than half @ million, and in 189 less than two millions. In be approved by the Post fegscetyt gla ence ia the moister atmosphere were found larger numbers seattered along the gulf coast and the uhoses of Washington and Oregon. ‘The most rapid increase, says the bulletin, has been found at the top and bottom of the scale, and particularly more arid region, where the population has nearly doubled dur- ing each of the last two periods. < The Charges Against Maj. Perry. Gen. Ordway, commanding the District Na- tional Guard, said toa Star reporter this morn- ing that he had nothing to say as yet in regard to the charges which have been preferred against Maj. Perry, whom he had selected to command the colored militiamen. He received the papers in the case from the acting Secre- tary of War yesterday afternoon and bas not yethad time to begin the investigation, but Would do so as soon as possible. general did not indicate in what mauuer the investiga tion would be conducte: Army Orders, - Capt.

Her clothing | was disari and her red shawl and hood were thrown a few feet away. In her pockets were a few trinkets and only 5 cent. Pending & post mortem by county physician the body ‘was removed to the morgue. The constable is busily engaged in investi- gating the case and will probably have several persons under arrest before night. The Courier reporters learned that the woman was seen in the neighborhood leading to Merchant- ville yesterday afternoon and that she had been drinking with several men, one of whom was snid to be “Curly” Daly. Several persous are willing to swear that they saw a negro lead the woman up to the spot where she was found dead, and he is now missing.
