CLEANING THE STATUES. How the Grime and Dust Are Being Re- moved by Skillful Workmen. “Air ye paintin’ them figgers?” The inquirer was a stranger, and he eddressed his query toa man who was about to climb over the fence which surrounds Greenough’s struggling Indian and frontiersman on the east front of the Capitol. For some weeks past two men have been hard at work removing from the marble groups on each side of the eastern portico the gtime which previous mistreatment had permitted to lodge thereon. Hundreds of lookers-on and passers-by have wanted to know how the statues were being made white. Were they being painted? Was the surface being cutaway? Was acid being used? Not one ina score of the bo venga guessed accurately. There was _ nei painting nor cutting nor Many years ago these same groups took on a somewhat smoky hne, and they were treated with a chemical compound that gave them a Sant, ses even than that, ate to the marble until the surfaces were minutely but effectively honeycombed.

It Wins » Handsome Silk Flag in Competi- tlon With Other Posts. Some time ago George W. Rich, the shoe man, offered a prize of a handsome silk fiag, 6x634, to be given to the Grand Army Post which ehould be deciared by the votes cast to be the most popular. A good deal of interest was taken in this contest, which closed last evening. A committee, consisting of W. 8. Lowdermilk of Post 5, Chas. G. Hooks of Post 10 and J. E. De John, senior vice commander of Post 1, counted the votes and found that John A. Rawlins Post, No. 1, had received the highest number of votes and was therefore entitled to the flag.

The Project to Erect a Hall Takes Definite Shape—An Organization Effected. There was quite a large gathering of the citi- zens of Brookland and vicinity at University station last night, and as aresult the Brookland Hall Association became an accomplished fact. Mr. Thos. C. Cormack called the assemblage to order and Dr. J. Il. Brooks was made temporary chairman, with Mr. D. M. Wood as secretary. ‘The object of the meeting was explained to be the formation of an association for the purpose of purchasing ground and erecting thereon @ building that shall contain « commodious hall. | It is proposed to have two or more stores upon the ground floor and the hall above, and possi- bly there may be lodge rooms also. ' A commit- tee consisting of Messrs. Barton, Hetfield and Craven reported a constitution, which, after considerable discussion and some radicalamend- ments, was adopted. The following officera were then elected: President, Thos. 0. Cormack; bed sywines J._H. Brooks; secretary, D. M. Ww treasurer, F. A. Holton; trustees, Harry Barton and F. R. McCormick. The subseriptions to the stock were very lively and the t interest was manifested by all present in the project. In the discussions ‘the rapid growth of that section of the District and its increasing tion were referred to, was made plainly manifest. The number par- ticipating in the debate evidenced the general interest in the movement. A committee consisting of Messrs. Bar- ton, F. R. McCormick, John Craven, Charles Hetfield and Dr. Frank T. Howe was appointed to go over the constitution and suggest such amondments as might seem desirable and: The following committee to consider and examine a site and plans for the roposed, building was appointed: Dr. J.

XB GAYS THAT THE NOMINATION OF CLEVELAND SRITLED THAT, AND GIVES SOME OF THE REASONS WAY THE EX-PRESIDENT 18 UNPOPU- LAR IN THAT SECTION. Senator Kyle of South Dakota said in yester- day's Stan that the people's party could and would carry Idabo in the tial election. Senator Dubois of Idaho says it cannot and will not. Senator Kyle is a people's party man. Senator Dubois is a republican. “The third party,” said Senator Dubois to a Bran reporter this afternoon, ‘‘cannot carry Idaho, and I think their inability extends to Colorado, Nevada, the uew states and the Pacific coast. It is true that there was s strong tendency toward a third party before the Chi- ago convention nominated Cleveland, but it vanished when that ballot was taken. Our people know perfectly well that if the third carries any of the republican states it id throw the election of the President into the House of Re; tatives, They know per- fectly well that the present House of Repre- tatives and not the one to_be elected this will decide who chal be President if it is left to the decision of Congress. They know that the democrats control two-thirds of the states in Congress and that Cloveland would be elected. ‘WON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES ON CLEVELAND. “People who live in the eection I indicated will not take any chances on the election of Cleveland. Noone ever injured the west more than he did. During his administration our mail facilities were curtailed in every direction and every citizen out there knows it through bitter experience. The country was growing with wonderful rapidity, and its needs increased daily, but the mail sorvice was kept in a crip- condition until Mr. Herrison came into power; today tho service is being pushed to a pace which is as nearly aa possible equal to our national growth. SPARKS MADE HIMSELF ODIOUS. “There age many other reacons why we should remember Cleveland. His commissioner of the general land office—Sparks—rendered himself odious. He that all the settlors on public lands were thieves; he also undertook to make them we the contrary. He had bis special apes vensared throngbont that region spying upon settlers and arresting them for every technical violation of the law which small minds could conjure up. He refused to issue patents to lands and in hundreds of ways har- awed the poor and bona fide settlers, making even their lives burdensome. He was ovidently carryingyout the polioy of hia chief and I am sure that our people will have no more of «uch an administration. TRIED TO PET LEAD ON THE FREE LIST. “The democratic party under Cleveland at- tempted to put lead on the free list; the present ‘House has contifiued that policy and has en- deavored to carry it out by specific legislation. There is no question in which the people of Idaho and Colorado are more deeply interested than this. “another matter will weigh heavily. Notwith- standing the fact that Cleveland was elected on a platform which pledged him to appoint offi- cera for the various territories from among the residents of the respective territories he utterly ignored the pledges of his party and sent for- ign office holders—politicians who had been @isappointed at home—to govern the territo- ries. The new states were all in a territorial condition under him and they have not forgot- ten his breach of frith. HARRISON HAS GIVEN THEM HOME RULE. “President Harrison, on the contrary, has lived up to the epirit and lettor of this plank in his party platform; he gave all the territories unadulterated ‘home rule.’ This may be sentimental matter, but it is powerful with the voter. The other reasons are material and cent. In my judgment they render it impossi- | ble for either democrats or third party men to take any of the states Ihave geferred to out of | the republican column. “President Harrison has disappointed some of the Senators and Representatives from that section and has made some appointments which, in my judgment, he should not have made. His whole policy, however, has been such as to command the respect and support of our peo- le. They belive that their best interests have n more carefully looked after under his ad- ministration than under that of any President for many years.” —_______ THE FIRE LAST NIGHT. ‘Two Firemen Badly Injured by the Fall of a Ladder. ‘The alarm from box 212, between 10 and 11 o'clock last night, was caused by fire in Mr. J.P. V. Ritter’s flour and feed store, 1321 7th street northwest. The fire originated in the warehouse, in the rear,filled hay and feed, and is supposed to have been caused by boys firing fireworks in the alley. Engines 6, 7 and 1 and truck B responded and a special alarm brought out engines 2 and 5| and truck A. The fire was soon/| ten under control, but not until_a Joss of 5,000 had been sustained by Mr. Ritter, par- tially covered by insurance. While fighting the fire from an extension ladder in the rear | the ladder broke, precipitating Firemen | O’Brien, Martin and Warren to the ground, «| distance of thirty feet. Warren was but slightly | injured, but O'Brien and Martin were seriously hurt, O'Brien's injuries being internal. The men were removed to engine house No. 7,where | their wounds were dressed. This morning they | were reported to be rapidly improving. As- tistant Chief Lowe was painfully injured in the by falling glass. Grateful Russian Scientists. ‘The secretary of the Smithzonian Institution has received a communication from Ruseia, as follows: St. Prrensscna, May $1, 1892.

An Investigation Into the Case Asked For. The following communication was received by tho Commissioners today and forwarded to Senator Allison: Gentlemen: From the inclosed paper contain- ingen article from Tae EvExixe Staz, you will read of the refusal of several of the prinei- pal city hospitals to admit a highly respected citizen, » friend of mine, because he was suffer- ing from diphtheria; thet finally, having been denied admission atthe Garfield, Providence | and Freedman’s Hospitals, though his friends ic eutried/ the cehtanes ioseesd ar a tae offered any amount of money, he was, upon the order of your health officer, rent to the small~ x hospital, a-place #o wretched and with so insufficient attendance that his friends, having at last found admission at the Freedman’s Hos- ital, removed him to the latter, where poor Richard Gundlach at last found a place to-die, Considering that this happened ca} of this great nation I deem it. of the highest | importance that you should investigate this sorrowful affair, and if necestary direct the at- tention of to further legislation.

Superintendent Miles of tho telegraph and telephone service of the District of Columbia has written a letter to the Commissioners call- ing attention to the fact that if itbe true that the appropriation for the support of Kis branch of the public service is only $8,000 a large re- trenchment will have to be made in telephone rents to meet other more important expenses of the department. He suggests in this emergency that twenty-four school tele- phones and the one at the Emer- gency Hospital and at St. Elisabeth's Asylum be discontinued and that the exchange telephones now in use, except the onein his office, either be discontinued or the rentals be charged to and paid for by tho re=pective de- artments in which service is rendered. If thia done the department will save $1,240. Ho calls attention to tho fact that his department | also pays €800 per annum for exchnnge service, the justice of which he has never becn able to see, since the telephone company has the free use of the District wires for similar | service. He does not think this amount should | in the future be paid. He further states that without some such reduction be will be unable to maintain an efiiclent service. Quite a num- ber of old decayed poles will have to be ro- placed with new ones or tho lines will gé down, and even with this reduction of rentals only the most urgent of the needed repairs will be possible, ee WHERE COOLING BREEZES BLOW.

In retalin- tion Mr. Boteler, in oo-operation with certain gton merchants, made a motion that the people of Georgetown pledge them- selves to in no way patronize the Pennsylvania road. Mr. Fickling thought that such an ao- tion would be unwise, as it wonld only serve to | bered still more antagonize the two companies, while it would neither materially injure the offender nor assist the Norfolk and Western. He thought that on the next District day the bill in question would be favorably considered. The N. and W. managers have informed the cit- izens of town that unless they can enter George- town over their own road absolutely they will abandon the project entirely. Mr. Boteler then submitted resolutions which severely censured the managers of the Chesa- eake nnd Ohio canal for the issuing of the or- jer by which all the mills in Georgetown but one were cloved down and several hundred men thrown out of employment. He suggested that | the secretary bo requested to transmit copies of | the resolutions to the Commissioners, the chairman of'the House and the chairman of the Senate committees. ‘The Georgetown Terminal railway, which is now seeking the right to lay a double’ track on K street from Georgetown to the Eastern branch and the power to condemn wharf property for the purpose of constructing piers, &c., was warmly discussed.

Party Spirit in England Has Rarely Been So Bitter. The present generation hasseen no general elec- tion which will be so hotly contested as the one only by the restraints of the judicious system now existing for the control of election pro- cedure. Political feeling boils over tall the meetings, especially when they are held in rooms. The candidates are howled down, row- dyism is rampant and the assemblages are broken up. Many of the candidates find st necessary to adopt the plan of making tours of their districts in wagonettes and speaking to | erally get a hearing.’ ‘These often improm| largely cocur in the district In Lobos inbableed by organized bands of bullies are bribed to tncite to riot.

Clarkron has furnished the following formal statement of his position with relation to the party organization for the campaign ‘work: “Thave been in a pretty difficult position ainee the reealt at Minneapolis, and have tried ‘to got throngh it with personal good grace and party loyalty. I never wanted, and never tn- tended to accept if tendered, the chairmanship of the nationa) campaign committee. I came to Washington fully resolved upon this.

No new factor bas appeared during the week toalter the party forecasts. A high govern- ment official told the representative of the As- sociated Pross that the cabinet had chown their conviction of coming defeat by setting their papers in order in readiness to vacate ces. The ministers never leave all their oficial papers for their successors. Documents revealing too much disappear. A general clear- ance of those documents which the liberal gov- ernment will be unable to claim has already oc- curred. Mr. Gladstone's declaration that tho rejection of the home rule bill by the house of lords will not involve a fresh appeal to the country, as parliament will then proceed with other measures, has been a shock to the Irish party. It is certain that they will not tolerate | any action of the house of lords tending to in- | definitely shelve the home rule question. j NON-CONFORMISTS’ MANIFESTO. The British non-conformista have issued a manifesto as a counter blast to the Ulater move- | ment. The declaration is a vigorous defense of | Mr. Gindstone, but _bardly one in » hundred of | the British non-conformist ministers sign it. | Its adherents express supreme confidence that Mr. Gladstone will not be guilty of treason; that religious freedom will never the lib- erties of Ulster Protestants; that parliament will never passascheme favoring the Romish ecclesiastical system and generally that the fears of the Ulsterites are utterly groundless. Dr. Dale, the leader of the Cony jonaliste, and Dr. Dallinger, the leader of the Methodists, protest against assigning to the manifesto tho charscter of representative non-conformist opinion, RESULTS IX IRELAND. The speaker's estimate of the Irish electoral results is: Anti-Parnellites, 75; unionists, 20; Parnellites, 8.

From the Galignani Messenger. A most curious instance of the assumption of afalse identity has jast been discovered in rather asingular manner. On February 260 Mile. Klein, who was engaged as an actress at a theater in Rio Janeiro, died there. On retarn- ing from the funeral her friends discovered that the room occupied by the deceased actress had been broken into and come jewels, with bonds to the mount of 30,000 francs, had been stolen.
