, €F to railroad construction upon or bounding THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1893-TWENTY PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, SATURDAY. December 23, 1893. CROSBY S. NOYE: ————— THE EVENING STAR has permanent circulation nearly d: the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News ard Advertising Medium it has no com- petitor. t7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- mal absence, letters to to it of STAR should not be addressed any individual connected with the fice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Department, according to tenor or purpose. Elsewhere in The Star a communication is printed which discusses the McMillan street railway bill, recently published in The Star, and condemns it as a free street rail- ‘way measure. If the bill is susceptible of the construction placed upon it by our cor- respondent, The Star {s opposed to it, but consideration of all parts of this somewhat fmvolved and confused proposition causes ‘The Star to interpret it as a clog upon the apprehended wholesale surrender of our streets to tramways rather than as a pro- ject to facilitate this surrender. At present} in order to obtain possession of a street for| railway purposes only the consent of co gress is necessary. Under this bill such} consent is still apparently a requisite. The | Commussioners are to be authorized to grant} permission to construct such railroad “upon | such terms * * * as the Congress of the United States may see fit to prescribe,” and) the railroad is authorized to use streets, | avenues, etc., provided “the consent also of | Congress be, after the passage of this act, first obtained.” This consent of Congress | is to expire if within one year after it is| granted, the consent of the other necessary parties is not obtained. The consent is to the use of specified streets, and not a gen-| eral consent, for it is construed as the as-| sent of the United States as a property own- n the streets, parks, etc., which are pro- posed for its consideration as specially de- sirable for such use. The bill seems to re- quire that after this consent of Congress has been obtained, which ts all that is now necessary, the railroad shall also secure the consent “of a majority in interest of the! owners of the property upon the streets in| which the road is to be constructed,” or “the consent in writing of the owners of one-half in value of the property bounded on,” or as a substitute for this consent of Property owners, the consent of a commis- sion, appointed upon application by the gen- eral term of the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict of Columbia, its findings to be confirm- ed by the Supreme Court. And it appears by the last section of the bill that after the consent of Congress and of the property owners or commission has been obtained, the Commissioners of the District as a con- dition of their consent to the use of any Street for this purpose, must provide “that the right, franchise or privilege of using said street shall be sold at public auction to the bidder who will agree to give the largest percentage per annum of the gross receipts of said company or corporation, With adequate security, as herein provided, for the fulfillment of said agreement and for the commencement and completion of such rowd according to the plan or plans and on the route or routes fixed for its con- Struction within the time or times desig- Rated.” According to The Star’s reading of the measure all that anyone needs to do to take advantage of this free street rail- way bill and to build a road upon your street or mine is to get (1) the consent of Congress, (2) the consent of property owners or court-appointed commission, approved by the court, and (3) the consent of the Com- missioners, which is to be obtained only after outbidding everyone else at a public suction of the privilege of using the street. There are other limitations and restrictions upon the efforts of corporations and indi- viduals to seize the public highways, but those above not ‘ furnish the most serious ebstacies. The Star sees nothing in the bill to alarm the citizen and property ‘owner. The line of the bill which recites that the court-appointed commission is to determine “where” such road ought to be constructed, is seen from the context to be clearly a mis- print for “whether” such road ought to be constructed. ———_++-s—____ Of all the foolish things that have been said and done by the winter-racing com- bine now struggling to operate at Ivy City mone cam compare with the published threats of what may be accomplished by Political influence. Just now a gang of bookmakers, touts, barkeepers, pickpockets, thimble-riggers, shell-game workers and confidence men are barking at District At- torney Birney because he has sufficient moral stamina to uphold the law. In every Way that perverted ingenuity could sug- gest they have tried to overturn or evade the statutes, but no matter which way they moved—uniess it was out of town—they found confronting them those obstacles which wise legislation provided for the dis- comfiture of such as they. Legal pitfalls were dug by expert excavators, but the prosecuting officer declined to fall in, and in despair the disgusted crowd declare that their political “pull” will be tested to the utmost in an effort to haul Mr. Birney out of office. Such a thing might once have been possible in New Jersey legislatures— but the game will not work in the District of Columbia. It is alleged by friends of the bookmakers and others interested in the Propagation of vice that President Cleve- land has been “seen” in behalf of the Ivy City Jockey Club, and that the District at- torney “is to be removed from his office by the President because of the stand he has taken in regard to the Ivy City question.” If Philanthropist Engeman and his asso- tiates harbor any such idea as that they might as well let it go at once. President Cleveland will go to almost any length when he believes himself to be in the right, Dut a string of bookmakers from here to Guttenberg and back again could never persuade him to remove an official who was merely enforcing, with praiseworthy vigor and success, Jaw. Rarely indeed has Mr. Cleveland done anything that could be re- garded as considerate of the criminal ele- ments of the country, and that fact makes it difficult to understand why such rumors as those put in circulation yesterday by the touts should ever have been originated Too close association in the public mind with the race track gamblers so discredited the New Jersey democracy that it received a @taggering blow in the recent election. ‘There is small danger of the national de- mocracy tempting a similar experience, and when the decision depends upon a man of Mr. Cleveland’s make-up the unholy alli- ance is impossible. ——_+-s—____ Admiral Irwin cables to the Navy Depart- ment that coal taken by a steamer from the United States wharf at Honolulu has been Festored. That is where the coal has the advantage over ex-queen Lil, and it was in- eonsiderate of Admiral Irwin to tease the administration with announcements of this sort of restoration. —————~+ ++ Tammany is disturbed. There is every Weason why it should be, for a numerous Qnd powerful bedy of democrats of New York state have organized to purify the Dolitics of that great commonwealth. Heretofore many efforts toward that de- sirable end have been brought to naught by the fact that the newly created organi- Zations really proposed to smash one “ring” that another might take its place. This time the people themselves have declared tkeir independence of “rings” and “bosses” and “combines,” and are now laboring to make good their promises of state and municipal reform. This means the destruc- tion of Tammany Hall, and those who know how great und far-reaching ts the bower of Boss Croker'’s autocracy realize that the undertaking ts one of more than ordinary magnitude and tremendous im- dort, The public arraignment of Tammany | by a democrat of such standing as Charles 8S. Fairchild, ex-Secretary of the Treasury, was an extraordinary happening. Talk- ing to more than three thousand of the best men in New York democracy, he said that matters had reached such a pass that the committees of the democratic party “frem state committee down to town com- mittee, through all the grades, assumed to dictate what the action of any primary, caucus, or convention shall be, and this in utter deflance of the wishes of the ma- jority of those who may happen to be pres- ent at any one of their party meetings.” He emphasized the well-known fact that democrats who were merely democrats had no voice in the affairs of the demo- cratic party, and that it was not until they had joined themselves and sworn allegiance to “something which may not be demo- cratic at all,” that they were permitted to express an opinion which would receive any attention. Disavowing any desire to denounce or reproach individuals, Mr. Fair- child said, however, of Boss Croker and his aides, that they were but “the creatures of a most undemocratic institution and of @ system utterly at war with all the in- stincts of a true son of the United States, of a man capable of free government, the very essence of which is destroyed by such an institution as is the Tammany Hall of today.” Prominent for many years in the better class of New York politics, John W. Goff should know what he is talking about when he discusses local elections, and, fol- lowing Mr. Fairchild at the great Cooper Union meeting Thursday night, he said: ‘I have had occasion to examine into the processes and methods of elections dur- ing the last four weeks, and I can say that nothing has occurred in this city since my boyhood, when I remember the tre- mendous frauds practiced under the Tweed Tegime, equal to the open and barefaced ‘rraud committed in the city of New York at the last election. To call it an election is to call it out of its name. It was a regis- tration of the wil) of the head of Tammany Hall. The people considered in many dis- tricts that they cast votes, ‘but the people were unaware when they cast them that they would not be counted in the way they hoped they would.” To summarize all that was sald on that occasion is not difficult, for every word was direct condemnation of Tammany and its machinations. That such an organiza- tion can fail to do great good is highly improbable, and although Tammany may affect to laugh at the new crusade, its smile is sickly. The phosphorescent hand- writing is on Gotham’s highest wall and Tammany is naturally disturbed. ——— +0 Several inquiries have been recently made through various newspapers as to whether there was any truth in the rumor that a herd of wild camels was roaming through the southwestern portion of Arizona. But| no one seems to have found any answer to the questions. Most people are inclined to re- gard the possibility of a wild-camel herd within the United States as nothing less than ridiculous, but as a matter of fact such an aggregation does exist, and the Governor of Arizona would like to be rid of it. In his last annual report Governor Hughes calls attention to the fact that in the year 1855 the War Department import- ed from Asia Minor a number of camels. They were landed at Galveston, and from there taken overland to Los Angeles for the purpose of transporting military supplies from that point to the coasts of Soutnern California and Arizona. Many of the ani- mals were lost in the vicinity of the Agua Caliente, and from time to time others made their escape into the desert. Their existence was somewhat precarious, for teamsters and freighters shot at them when- ever opportunity afforded, because horses and mules objected excitedly to association with their oriental competitors. Finally the entire band was turned loose, the govern- ment finding them valueless for the pur- poses for which they were imported. A few were captured about ten years ago and were then turned over to a circus. They were said to be very much of an improve- ment upon the o1 stock. Governor Hughes quotes Col. D. K. Allen of the Yuma Sentin . who says: “At the present time there are ninety- seven of them in the mountains and hills east of the Yuma and Harqua Hala wagon roads, away from the haunts of white men and Indians. They have roamed mostly in the Eagle Tail Mountains and adjoining ranges, where but few, if any, human be- ings ever go. It is estimated that if none had been killed there would now be not less than one thousand. They are very wild and vicious, and make a hard fight when caught or even cornered.” The governor suggests that to prevent the annihilation of the herd it should be cap- tured and removed to some national park, such as the one in the Yellowstone, or sent to the Zoological gardens in this city. Here is a chance for the Zoo. —_e—.___ Opportunities to do good to the poor this Christmastide are becoming fewer every hour, but there are yet many deserving ones who need attention.

From the Brooklyn Citizen. A man was crushed to death by a trolley car north of the Harlem yesterday. The trolley is run in the “annexed district” of New York at a rate of speed that is hardly exceeded in Brooklyn, and it is the speed that does the dreadful work every time, making it impossible for a person in the way to get out of it. As the Subway Com- mission notes, people are sometimes killed by the mere impact of the car, a fact which tells the story of the speed at which it is going. ————_+ ++ ____ The Uncertain Jury. From the New York Mail and Express, The insanity of a juryman in the Meyer trial rendered nugatory all the work that ha been done. The expense of a second trial will have to be borne, and possibly all the efforts that have been made in the in- terests of justice in this important case will come to naught. Some provision should be made by Jaw for such a contingency. It seems as if the eleven remaining jurors could be trusted to render a just and true vepaict, | THE WEEK. Without accomplishing anything of par- ticular moment, Congress has been a very busy body during the past few days, but has now adjourned until January 8. The most conspicuous matter under discussion was the President's message as to Hawal- jan matters, which communication instead of fully unraveling the mystery has served as good cause for further discussion in both the Senate and the House of Repre- sentatives. The annual report of the Sec- retary of the Treasury also came in for a great deal of attention; it was hearty in its support of the Wilson tariff bill, asked that the secretary be empowered to issue bonds to the extent of $200,000,000 to cover present and contingent deficits, and recommended an increase in the duty on distilled spirits, and the establishment of a tax on incomes derived from shares in corporations. Pres- ident Cleveland speedily settled the question as to who should fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Van Alen, United States minister to Italy, by nominating Wayne MacVeagh, who was attorney gen- eral in President Arthur's cabinet; Minister McVeagh’s nomination was speedily con- firmed by the Senate. Immediately prior to adjournment arrangements were made in the House, by which the Wilson tariff bill will be taken up directly after the holi- days. The majority and minority reports on the bill have been submitted. Working- men in several portions of the country have met in considerable numbers to protest against certain features of the tariff bill which they deem inimical to their interests; many manufacturers are also on record as disapproving the conclusions of the major- ity of the ways and means committee. The extremely warm contest for the mayoralty of Chicago resulted in the election of John P. Hopkins, democrat, and the consequent defeat of Acting Mayor George B. Swift, re- publican. Two extremely interesting crimi- nal cases are on trial in Chicago at this time—Patrick Eugene Prendergast, for the murder of Carter Harrison, and ex-Detec- tive Dan Coughlin, for the share he took in the killing of Dr, Cronin; of Prendergast’s guilt there is no doubt, and Mrs. Foy’s tes- timony in the Coughlin case leaves the pris- oner but little ground for hope. Train rob- bery is being discouraged in Texas by the courts, four of the daring criminals, who were engaged in that industry, having been sentenced to the penitentiary each for a term of thirty-five years. After hearing the statements of Commodore Stanton—who was relieved from command of the South American station for saluting the Brazilian flag, as displayed by the rebel Admiral Mello—Secretary Herbert has administered to the commodore a very mild reprimand and penees, the commodore in command of the North Atlantic station; and furthermore promised to give him his old command as soon as Rear Admiral Benham comes north. Atlantic gales have interfered considerably with the ocean steamship business, many vessels now being considerably overdue. Abroad. News from Hawaii continues to be the most interesting information that reaches this country. The latest advices are to the effect that the provisional government is prepared to resist any and all efforts that may be made to place the ex-queen upon the throne. Europeans generally are much discouraged because of the dynamite threats which are being freely made by anarchists, The anarchical program in France prom- ises all sorts of horrible things should Vaillant, who threw the bomb in the chamber of deputies, be guillotined for his crime. Up to the pres- ent more than two hundred foreigners, prin- eipally Germans and Italians, and all sus- pected of being anarchists, have been ex- pelled from Paris. In Spain the situation is no better; there is a reign of terror in Barcelona, where the police have captured Jose Codina, the wretch who threw the bomb in the Lyceum Theater, and caused the death of thirty persons. Anarchy in London has been cowed by the vigorous ac- tion of the authorities, all public meetings having been strictly prohibited, while the leaders are closely watched by detectives. Strong sentiment in favor of protective legislation is being worked up by members of the English laboring classes, and at a meeting of the unemployed held in London it was announced that a society is being organized to induce the public to refuse to buy goods of any description made else- where than in Great Britain. A terrific storm on the southern and southwestern coast of England resulted in the wrecking of many vessels and considerable loss of life. The German government is endeavor- ing to negotiate a number of commercial treaties; it is announced that the agrarians in the Reichstag will vote against them on the ground that they work injury to the agricultural interests. Spain and Morocco seem to be coming to terms, with the ad- vantages on the Spanish side of the ques- tion; there is to be a neutral zone between the Spanish possessions in Morocco and the territory of the sultan. It is announced that Italy is after a loan of about $25,000,- 000; the money is to be used in the purchase of new rifles for the Italian army, and while negotiations for this little sum are pending the Italian Senate will investigate the conduct of several senators in connec- tion with the great bank f-auds. Anti-tax riots near Palermo called for the services of troops, and have worried King Humbe-t considerably, Moved by considerations of economy the Greek government proposes to lower the rate of interest on national bonds, @ movement which has aroused great indig- nation in Germany,where most of the bonds are held. At Home. The condition of the poor has a>oused the active sympathy and effort of the people of the city. As the result of the action of a meeting of citizens called to consider meas- ures of relief, the District Commissioners have appointed a central relief committee, consisting of representatives of the various sections of the city, and it is proposed to turn over to this committee all the money contributed by the public for the pdor. At- tempts on the part of the management of the Ivy City winter racing combine to se- cure a test case as to the legality of the racing, and also to delay matters, were foiled. Dr. D. C.

LOTHROP, 1TH. 11TH AND ¥ STS ¥.W. ——— CLOSED ALL DAY MONDAY. —~—— Before the dawn of the joyous Xmas morn we want to say just a word or so in kindly recognition of the generous confidences of our many friends. This is the fourteenth December since our business was begun, and notwithstanding the universal con- dition of trade, the sales for December, thus far, are larger in volume than ever before--far ahead of the best we ever had. We never before sent out so many packages, and never before served so many people so easily or so satisfactorily. Washington is growing larger every way. Never before have there been so many stores, large and small, nor so good. The stores would not be here if they were not needed. The more the better; and the better, the more. The growing reputation of Washington as a center of retail trade is a new source of prosperity for the entire city. The people who stand by their town and support its enterprises are fellow-builders of that prosperity. For the large share of help and encouragement given us so steadily, particularly during this Xmas season, we heartily thank all who have shown such interest in what we are doing to build for Washington a retail establishment surpassed by none in the country. So, with much gratification at the great success our business has attained, we shall try to do more and better for the service of our friends--the public--than ever. With the compliments of the season we are, Yours, very respectfully, WOODWARD: AND LOTHROP. Beginning Tuesday, December 26, We Will Hold a Five Days’ RemnantClearingSale. The surge and sweep of the Xmas throng cannot but do damage by dust and breakages somewhere. With the jostling and hurrying of the thousands who have passed through our stores this is inevitable. Lots of things, too, are scratched, mussed, smirched, tumbled and chipped from handling. Handkerchiefs, Fancy Goods, Bric-a-Brac, China and the goods used in the windows and other displays---all are for sale now at nominal figures. The prices we'll put on them will sell them quickly as soon as the news gets around. There are remnants of Dress Goods, too, and Laces and Ribbons and Silks and Velvets and Linens, etc. Piles and piles of them. You see there’s no time in the rush to watch against remnant making. Every pieceis cut and the balancestuffed away. Now comes the overhaul- ing. Out with the remnants. They must go. The week between Xmas and New Year is the harvest time for remnant buyers. Next week there'll be important things to say. Steady preparations are going on for the next move---won’t tell you today---tea busy to enter into detail. Then, too, your minds are too pre- occupied. It won’t be desirable, however, to miss the important announcements which will follow each other rapidly in the days just coming. —_—s—— Cards to be Engraved for ‘“‘New Year.” LEAV# YOUR ORDER THIS EVENING OR TUESDAY MORNING, ——— Woopwasp & Lormnor, 10TH, 11TH AND F STREETS NORTHWEST.
