He was at the station on the night of the 9th,which was rot a very good night for seeing objects. He did not see the light of the Winter Quarter shoal light «bip that nizht, though it is visible from the station. The next morning the ship was not to be seen, thongh he looked for ker.

D:C.. THURSDAY; CHILE'S ARROGANCE Some Decisive Action May Be Taken by Our Government. ‘Mr. Blaine received a translation of Mr. Egan's dispatch about 2 o'clock and shortly af- terward went with it to the White House. Up to a late hour it was impossible to get at the contents of the dispatch, but there are reasons to believe that it shows that the Chilean minister of foreign affairs has assumed a very arrogant tone. This country will not act hastily, but the situation has certainly not improved and some vigorous action by'the United States may be looked for. THE SIGNAL SERVICE. Extracts Takén From the Annual Report of Brig. Gen. Greely. Brig. Gen. A. W. Greely, chief signal officer, in his annual report to the Secretary of War makes a special point of the necessity for the | improvement of the miiitnay field telegraph system. He speaks of the importance attached six | to this service in foreign countries, where the | | most acute minds are now applied to ite de- velopment, and says: “The results of such inventions are quickly | applied in foreign armies to the solution of | professional oe arising in connection | with military duties, and if the professional standing of the American army is to be main- | | tained similar application must be made in| [thie country, otberwise a few years would leave the entire army unskilled in| the mést important of modern ap-j | pliances.

Ample | material and support are necessary to raise {igual corps to a high standurd of effici | and keep it abreast of medern progress. | light and the telegraph have become | potent factors in civilized — warfare, and kay neglect to provide suitable means for a military corps charged with the study, practice and operations of the same cannot coiamend itself to any thoughtful mind. Asa result of the improved efficiency of th sigual corps the French mili uuthoritic congratulate themselves on speedy Jan” accurate manner in which tho mili- meneuvers of this year, involving | handling of 120,000 men‘over a limited | territory, were accurately and promptly per- | formed without disorder or delay. ‘The use of a captive balloon, as initiated by Gem Me- CleLan at Yorktown in 1862, has been carried | toa successful stage by European experts. A | captive balloon was kept in constant telep | communication with the commanding ger jin the French maneuvers, and the post | lof observation was so commanding that no movement of any consilecable body of troop by the onemy was possible without speedy de- tection and report. ‘the chief signal officer | appreeiated the importance of balloons inactive | military operations, and has made a special | estimate for the purchase and construction of a military balioon traix, which is a necessary adjunct to the permanent equipment of the | signal corps.” A smaall appropriation is asked for determining by experiment the best _meeh- | auism for a powerful fash light for night si naling and search purposes.

Judge Wilson suid-he wanted the case de- cided solely upon the evidence in the case. He wanted no consideration of sentitnent or sympathy to creep in it. 3 Mr. Wilson deveted some time to discussing | the testimony of Mr. Paul and other govern- | ment experts and said it wus absurd to suy that the statement given by these witnesses was a statement of the market value of the lands. It was nothing more or less than a joint valuation by these three men. at eee THE HOFFA BURGLARY. Commencement of the Trial of Rory Simms for His Participation in It.

It cost us, however, about $5,000 per mile just tor the conduit, with out including the cost of the wires. It 1 eney to calculate how much it will cost the city to lay conduits for fifty imiles or so at that figure. This bringw me tow feature of the report from which Lentirely dissent.

One reasun ior this is obvious, We are speading our own money, while the municipal employes are spending sémebody’s clase. “It would be a taxation of the many for the benefit of the few light takers. ‘Ulat is to #ay the burden of taxation would fail equally on jail, while Lat few would have the benefit of either the mnuuiecipal light or the house service. As [ ylauce at the report I sce that the commis: tion Use as an argument that 75 per cent of the water supply of cities js conducted by the mu nicipal corporation. This may be true, but I doubt if the service is better or cheaper, but water like air is a vital necessity and should be controlled and in a measure owned by all, not left in the hands of acompany which might cut off the supply or raise its price beyond the means of the poor. But gas, telephone, tele- Braph, street railroads and kindred companies produce that kind of service tata person can do without if he 80 chooses, and should not be compelled to be taxed for what he docs not want. Philadelphia illustrates the beauties of municipal ownership. Jtis the center of the coal trae of the country. The taxpayers are taxed for the support of a yas’plant that pro- duces a very poor gas ata prive to the cou- sumer of £1.50 per 1,000 cubic feet, while we get « superior gas, furnished by a private cor- poration, at $1.25.

As far as our company is concerned we have our system of condiaits throushont the central portion of the city nowcomplets.

The engineer department at the District building has naturally the most interest in the report of the electrical commission and the recommendations made therein. Commis- sioner Kogsell said today that he had not studied the report very deeply, having merely glanced over the document us printed. However, he was deeply interested in the matter. In the line of his former duties the question of underground wires had not entexed, but he had been solely taken up with the overhead wires and he could say, without reservation, that the quicker they were put un- der ground’ the better. In general he was of opinion that the District should obtain some revenue from all undergrouna work which uses tho streets, but whether this revenne should be obtained by the District putting down the conduits itself and renting them out or by granting permits for corporations to do the Work and taxing the conduits wasa matter he was not prepared to discuss, ‘The water works in this city were au example, said Capt. Rosell, of what the District could do in laying aud managing underground systems, and the fact that this city received its water cheaper than The case was briefly opened by Assistant Attor- ney Clagett. Col. W. A. Cook appeared for de- fendant. ‘MR. HOFFA’S TESTIMONY. Mr. Hoffa described the location of the store and house above after the discovery of the burglary, and described the safe us having had the back torn completely off and the entire contents removed, the gold watches being worth about £4,000, and the rings, chains, &c., carried up the aggregate value of the property to nearly 15,000. He could not now give in detail the property lost, but he made a tabu- Inted statement, after examining the stock book, and it was printed. One of these he iden- tified. He identified a number of the rings, &c., captured in Philadelphia by the stamp which was made especially for him. He produced his invoices und said that he had seld these rings from December, 1887, to October 11,1890, the date of the burgiary. Witness made several visite ( abont Octo- ber 14) to Philadelphia and put himself in com- munication with the Pinkerton agency, but was uot allowed to tell whit passed, and’ Col. Cook noted an exception. Detective Raff described the appearance of the safe and surroundings after the burglary and identified a number of chisels, augur bits, candles, &¢. Capt. Robert J. Linden, superintendent of the Finkerton agency in Philadelphia, told of the arrest of ‘on a warrant sent on by Maj. Moore. Col. Cook sought to show that Simms was illegaily arrested.

Lusk, under whom the underground systems directly fail, thinght the enginecriug ideas and conclusions of the deport were excel- lent. He fully approved of the idea that the wires should be put underground and should be placed along the sides of the street and not in the middle. It was an excellent idea also he thonght, to, have the dangerous wires and traps painted red. In fact, Capt. Lusk was in full accord with the engineering portion of the report in regard te the recommendations as to the absorption of the underground s; by the District and the future laying of sys- tems under municipal control the captain was not prepared to give his views. “The ques- tion,” he said, ‘tis a political and eecnomic one and naturally I cannot enter upon it. It opens up a broad field, however, as if the district con- trolled the wire conduits it should also control all other undergroand systems. ‘THE CIVILIAN CoMMISSIOXERS.
