About midnight I went down to the depot and hung around until thirty-one came in. I watched the messenger's car aud saw there was a safe in each end and one for the way business wear the door.

The Preidenwald Company, which suffered considerably by the fire, have been for several years ithe principal publishers of the numerous periodicals, circulars and ri | ports of Johns ‘Hopkins — University. Among the university publications — that wiil be delayed by the fire will be the March numbers of the following journals, they printof which was nearly coipleted: The American Journal of | Mathematicn a | quarterly magizine, edited by — Brofs. Newcomb and Craig; The ” American | Chemical Journal, edited by Prof. Remsen and }appearing monthly during the academic |year; the American Journal of Philol- quarterly, edited by Prof. Gilde: the Bulletin of the Johns Hopkins | Hospital, which = appears frequently | but irregularly. The “iullabaloo,” the an- | nual of the senior class of '92,8 volume of | over 200 pages, was sent to the printers over two weeks ago and may be delayed by the fire beyond the academic year. A few of the plates and drawings of the book were injured by water, but the greater part is unhurt. The Friedenwaid Company were also printing several theses for students, who ex- pect to come this year as candidates for the degree of doctor of __ philosophy. A portion of one of the floors of the buildin; was used for storing hundreds of unbound copies of new university books, most of which | were ruined. Several hundred volumes had been sent down from the university library a or two ago to be rebound. ‘The total loss to the Jobn Hopkins, in addi- ogy. | sleeve: who was in charge of the experi- mente, in summmg up their results, says: “The few experiments which have been made do not furnish sufficient data from which to form definite conclusions or evidence upon which to uphold or condemn the theories of the artificial production or increase of rainfall by concussion. Experiments extending over a period of only a few months can scarcely be enfficient. It is only by alarge number of tests, with accurate noting of ondi- tions and occurrences,that definite conclusions can be reached as to whether or not rainfall will be induced by explosions, and whether such production of rainfall can be reduced to an art, so as to effect precipitation at 9 pre- determined place. What has been done so far is altogether preliminary, but with the benefit of the experience gaiued I hope that the sub- ject will be pursued.” In prosecuting these investigations there hax been expended about £17,000. Or this amount the government has contributed about €9,000, the rest being given by outside parties inte: ested in the prosecution of the investigations. ‘THE YELLOWSTONE PARK.

In answer to Senator Platt’s question as to what interest he had in the park Mr. Gibson said he represented an association incorporated under the laws of Minnesota in, 1889, which granted the right to the association to build and operate hotels in the park. His association, he said, held six leases granted by the Secretary of the Inferior, representing six acres of land, the leases to run for ten years, three of which had already expired. In further answer to several categorical questions by Sen- ator Platt Mr. Gibson said there were four or five other lenses of privileges in tho park, besides those held by his associa~ tion; that all the important papers were owned by his association and that he had hed a cgn- troversy with the Secretary of the Interior in regard to certain matters pertaining to his leases. : Senator Piatt asked Mr. Gibson what was bis politics, ‘Mr. Gibson said he was s democrat, but that many of his associates were republicans. He thought that politics had entered into the ques tion of granting privileges in the park. Secre- tary Noble in his letter to Senator Platt, cbair- man of the committee, who usked his views on ill, opposed it, and saysin his judgment opposed to the public good. is for private interests only, and is in every way pernicious. Mr. Gibson'has replied to the letter. At the suggestion of Senutor Platt a sub- committes was appoiated to give Mr. Gibson a farther hearing on the bill. XISSISSIPPI RIVEL IMPROVEMENTS. ‘The Senate committee on commerce today listened to statements from Gen. Comstock, president of tho Mississippi river commission, and Capt. Web Samuel, representing the city of St. Louis and state of Missouri, in behalf of the pending bills for the improvément of the Mississippi river. Gen. Comstock indorsed the bill reported by the committee, makiug a total appropriation of 15,000,000 for that purpose. and said that the main diffienlty the commis sion had experienced in the past in the dis- charge of its duties had arisen from the fact that the appropriation for the improvement had been intermittent. During long periods of idleness the works already constructed bad been injured by freshets and the working force had been scat- tered, so that heavy loss and delays had re- sulted. ‘apt. Samuel briefly Qescribed the needs of ommunities he represented for better water transportion facilities. AGAINST RETURNING THE FLAGS. In the House yesterday Representative Mc- Aleer of Pennsylvania presented for reference a protest by the Scott Legion of Philadelphia against the passage of the joint resolution to return to Mexico twenty-one flags captured tn battle by the United States troops. “No valid reason,” says the protest, “has been advanced to show why we should surrender those blood: earned trophies, and so far as we can discover the attempt is without precedent in the history of strife between foreign powers.” NAVAL ENGINEERS. ‘The House naval affairs committee has or- dered a favorable report on a bill providing that the reduction in the numbers of the en- gincer corps of the navy, provided for in the act of August 5, 1982. siall be considered ax having ceased June 30. i891. Mr. McAleer will make the report, ‘Ihe passage of this bill would enable the corps to be increased and would also make it possible for a number of officers to be promoted. The construction of ships for the new navy has largely incres. ed the actual work and responsibility of the engineer corps, and many of the officers are overworked. Some’ of them have resigned to accept more lucrative places in civil life, and these facts have influenced the committee in its action upon the bill. THE TYPRUS-INFECTED TOHIGRANTS. Representative Stump of Missouri offered in the House yesterday a concurrent resolution directing the Senate and House committees on immigration jointly to inquire into the recent admission ut the port of New York of a largo number of European immigrants infected with typhus fever; also to investigate the workings of the various laws of the United States relative to immigration from foreign countrics, the importation of contract laborers to the United States and the expenditures made in connection therewith. The investigation is to be con- ducted at such times and plnces as the com- mittee may deem proper. ‘THE UTAH INDUSTRIAL CHRISTIAN HOME. A report from the Utah commission sub- mitted to the House states that the expense of maintaining the Industrial Christian Home in Utah for the benefit of women who abandon polygamy wus $301 per month and that the average admimions were only fourteen per month. Tn this state of affairs the commission submits to Congress the question as to whether or not it is worth while for the government to continue to extend aid to the institution. AGAINST DESECRATING THE FLAG. ‘The House judiciary committee today or- dered Mr. Bynum to report with a rec- ommendation that it pass the bill to prevent desecration of the United States flag. ‘The bill provided that any person or persons who shall use the national flag, either by priuting, painting, or fixing on said flag, oF otherwixe attaching to the same, any advertisement for public display or private gain, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, on conviction thereof in the district court of ‘the United states. shall be fined in any sum not exceeding 730 or imprisonment not less than ty days, or both, at the discretion of the PUBLIC BUILDING POLICY. ‘There was a long and earnest discussion to- day in the House committee on publie build- ings and grounds with reference to the policy to be purmed toward bills providing for the erection of new public buildings. It was evident that a number of mem- bers of the committee were strongly opposed to the views expressed by Chairman Banthead and other members of the committee to the effect that no new public buildings shouid be provided for. The opponents of the policy advocated by the chairman insisted that the committee shou!d not refuse to bills for public build- report favorably ings where it could be shown that the’ interests of the government would ve Jadvanced by the erection of — public buildings. They protested against a general poligy adverse to all proposed new public uilding bills. There wasa very free discus- siou, but no conelision was reached, the com- mittee adjourning until Saturday without taking a vote. What Secretary Noble Says. “T have not bought a French dictionary yet,” observed Secretary Noble this morning when | talking in joking way about the rumor that connected bis namo with the appoint }ment to the French mission.

Bees aed ‘The Congressional Direciory. ‘The third edition ef the Congressional Di- Tectory is expected to make its appearance about the end of next month, but up to this time the committeo on printing has not de- termined what shall be done as to publishing or not the maps of congressional dis- tricts. These maps were printed with the first edition and were weil received because they presented valuable information in condensed form. When the second edition (which was mapless) appeared there was a good deal of inquiry 2s to why the now and popular feature was missing. ‘Two or three members of the House had objected to the publication of the maps, but their kick had nothing to de with the committee's action, for it was not believed necessary to put the maps in the sec- ond edition. A new plan was being formu- lated. Now the maps and the statistical in- formation are comb: each state having a page to itself, and instead of these pages being aggregated in a supplement at the end of the document they are to be appropriately distri- buted throughout the autobiographical portion A few other changes aro contemplated, which will result in a compact volume. ‘Editor Michael is at work on the condensation now. When complete the book will show at a glance the public history of a Representative, the shape of his district and its population.’ The publication of this edition is being anxiously waited. —___e-_____ Presidential Nominations.

Indignant Citizens of Chicago Form an Or- ganization, Curcago, Feb. 25.—Three hundred of the citizens of Chicago who burn gas held a meet- ing last night and protested against the priee they have been compelled to pay recently for the product of the local gas works. Wasb- ington Hesing was chairman of the meeting. Several speeches were made, when one of those present, Alderman Goldzier, sug- gested that “instead of fighting the gas trust with gas something more sub- stantial be used.” ‘The suggestion was acted upon and a unicipal Gas League” was formed and its constitution adopted. organization to be “mutual pi the Chicago gas trust and the use of all honor- able means to obtain legislative enactment em- powering the city of Chicago to ostablish municipal gas works.” pec LILLIE JOHNSON Argument Made Regaril Bail.

He at once ordered an investigation to be made of the truth of these statements and the facts elicited have been incorporated in a re- port which will shortly be sent to Congress. It was learned that millions of feet of vala- able pine timber has been cut on American soil and then floated in the creeks to Rainey river and Rainey lake, these bodies of water forming a portion of the northern boundary of Minnesota, and in this way to the Canadian side where mills are in operation engaged in the manufacture of jumber. It is said that these depredations have been going on for severai years, and while the for- ests have already sustained great damage, yet if the measures suggested in this rt are adopted by Congress it is likely that the Canadians will be obliged in the fu- ture to get their logs from some other source than American territory. ‘The commis- sioners recommend that special agents be located at ,one or two points | along the border and that they be empowered to exercise police duty and drive off and arrest rsons Who are unlawfully cutting trees on American soil.
