Dillon May Unite the Irish Fac- tions, A NEW OIL PIPE LINE. DEATH OF A STATESMAN. Don Fernanddé Guzman, Ex-President of the Kepublic of Nicaragua. New Youx, Oct. 20.—A «pecial cable dispatch to the Herald from Managua, Nicaragua, says that Don Fernando Guzman, the ex-president of the republic, died yesterday. His death is universally regretted. Fornando Guzman was born in Gronada, Nicaragua, in 1812 He came of an old and highly distinguished Spanish family, whose American history dates back to the time of Cortez. He entered political life at an early age, and for half century no public man was more closely identified with national affairs in Central America, In 1867 he was chosen prosi- dent of Nicaragua, filling the office for four years. He conceived great love forthiscountry,and had his five sons educated at Harvard and other American universities. Senor Horacio Guzman, his von, was appointed envoy extra ordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the United States on July 2%, 1887, and bas since been a distinguished member of the diplomatic corps. —_———_-_ FATAL GAS EXPLOSION.

Prrrssuns, Pa, Oct. 20.--It is announced here that the Standard Oil Company is to have opposition. A route has been surveyed for a pipe line from Pittsburg to Philadelphia and men are now going over this route securing the right of way. The cost of the line, which will have a carrying capacity of 40,000 barrels.a day, is estimated at $1,000,000 and is to be finished by March 1. Branch lines will also be laid into the West Virginia fields. Andrew Carnegie and Mellon Brothers are said to be the backers of W. L. Mellon in building this new line. In a magazine article rome time ago Mr. Car- negiestaied that all great monopolies would fail, and that the entering wedge for the dis- memberment of the Standard Oil Company was in Pittsburg in the person of a young man. a DILLON MORE IN FAVOR. A Reconciliation of Irish Factions May Be Possible Under Him. Loxpox, Oct. 20.—John Dillon's speech eulo- gizing Parnell has considerably softened the feelings of the Parnellites toward him, and especially as it was coupled with a repudiation of tho attacks in the Dublin Catholic on Porne!l's memory. There is now belicved to be a possibility of reconciliation under Dillon. No one doubts the truth of Dillon's statement that he loved Parnell and there is only one speech of Dilion’s @n record in which he antagonized Parnell strongly and that was on the subject of the Pa fund, and delivered a few days before Parnell’s death. Before going to jail Dillon had been careful to keep a moderate course. He hoped that dis- sension would come toan end before his re- pon beigg liberated he threw his lot in with the MeCarthyites, but he never used per- sonally abusive terms regarding Parnell, and the utmost charged against him by the Parneilites is that, when an offensive term was used in his presence ho failed to rebuke it. There is no proof that he heard it, and if he did he probably thought it best to ‘ignore it. Dillon is undoubtedly considered by the tories the strongest man of the two fac- tious and the most positive and commanding character. ePLIN, Oct. 20.—The Freeman's Journal to- day says that a strong feeling in favor of a de- termined effort in the direction of reconciliation exists throughout the country. The /ournaladds that if the mensure of home rule granted by the liberals is inadequate it will again become necessary to'coerce them into submission. This could only be done by a united party. mela OF HIS INNOCENCE. LITYLE DOUBT The Russian Police Needed His Ball, so Glasounoff Had to Leave the Country. Sr. Perenssvne, Oct. 20.—M. Glasounoff, the Russian musical composer, in whose house was found a trunk coutaining revolutionary pamph- lots, the trunk having been left there by a female nihilist, bas been ordered to quit Russia. This means a loss of fiftecn thousand roubles to Giasonnoff, that being the amount of bail which he plaged in the hands of the police when first accused in connection with the matter. Nobody seems to doubt the com- poser’s innocence, and it is believed he wassent out of the country so that the police might keep the bail he had deposited. ——_ Annual Meeting of C. and 0, Stockholders.

It is almost beyond belief that such « state of affairs could exist here in the national capital, but the proof is over- whelming. VARIOUS MATTERS CONSIDERED. The committee urge the importance of a prompt service and the-co-operation of citizens in rendering the service as effective as possible, and call attention to the difficulty here, owing ‘to the great territorial area and the suburban settlements covered by the present municipal government. Tho suggestion that hotels, markets and commission houses should be re- quired to remove their own.garbage is con- sidered, and the committee conclude that aside from the incorporated market companies, ‘the service should include all such establishments as well as private families, and that the whole service should be under the supervision of the health office, to tho end that it shall be efti- ciently and promptly executed.” * The committee think to that the frequent removal of ashes should be included, either in the garbage, stroet cleaning or the alley clean- ing service.’ They argue also that an increase of the force af the health office is necessary to enable that office to properly perform ite duties. “We were surprised to learn,” says the report, “that that office is not pro- vided with means for analyzing milk, Water or food products, to determine their fitness or unfitness for consumption, and that there is no provision for inspectin the milk sold and which it is universally agre ie the most prolific source of sickness among infants and children of any article used as human food. We aro aware that there is a provision by which an analysis can be obtained At the internal revenne bureau, but the obsta- are such that it is not available to the mass of citizens and therefore does not supply this urgent need. ‘Washington Stock Exchange, Sales—Kegular tall—12 o'clock m: Washington Dat 42%.

THE CONTRACT SYSTEM PREFERRED. AT PRESENT. The committee discuss at some length the question whether it would not be better for the District to perform the service itself and concluded not torecommend that the District undertake the service at this time. ‘Some time Soldiers’ Home, %5 bid, <5 ws.ed eurgetown ‘aud Tenleytown, 54 bid, — asked. insurance Stocks—Firemen #, 43 bid, — asked.

The committee think the work cannot be properly done for the amount formerly appro- priated, the annual average received by the contractor during the last four years being $16,575. It is suggested that the cost of the service can be reduced by the use by house- holders of proper veseels for garbage, so placed that they can be emptied at once by the gar- bage collectors. RECOMMENDATIONS. In view of the foregoing facts, the report says in conclusion, the committee would re- commend as follows: 1 ay regulations should be adopted and enforces uiril irbage to stored i metallic voneln, Sot to oxeved oes ushel in capacity, said vessels to have The Hub’s Crack Company to Be the Guests of the National Kitles, Another strong link of fraternal friendship 1 be forged between the National Rifles of Washington and the National Lancersof Boston, Mass., in the approaching visit uf the latter to Washington These two military organizations have beon firm and fast friends for many years and have heretofore visited each other in their respective homes. In the trip to New England in July, 1888, of the National Rifles one of the most agreeable episodes of their journey war their reception and entertainment in Boston by the Lancers, whose lavish hospitality during the two days’ sojourn there of our boys fairly bewildered the latter. It is the firm purpose of the National | fitting covers, to be kept on at all times except Rifles to rociprocate in kind the generosity and as or removing the contents of kindness heretofore mentioned, andat « special meeting of the command, held last evening, the executive and entertainment committees were instructed to arrange all the details for the propor entertainment of the Rifles’ coming guests. It was unanimously decided at the same time that the expenses connected with the entertainment of the Lancers, which will be large, should be borne by the members of tho company absolutely and that no honorary member or other citizen should be called upon for a contribution toward detrasing any part thereof.

We merely offer his sugges- tion for consideration. The committee betieve that with such regu- lations strictly enforeed, and with the hearty co-operation of the eitizens, the service may be greatly improved, and that it can be performed with profit to the contractor ata much less cost to the District than it otherwise would be. It is quite probable that at first sight some citizens may think such regulation too exact- ing, just as they did in reference to the plamb- as that of the entire community. We cannot see how any intelligent citizen can object to any reasonable regulations necessary to secure better performance of this service, nor do we believe they will, if they give the subject the attention it deserves. ——— DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, LIQUOR LICENSE APPLICATIONS, The foliowing applications for liquor licenses have becn received by the Commissioners: Retail—Barbara M.
