C, Mendenhall of the United States coast survey writes to the Commissioners today concerning the bill regulating the sealer of weights and meas- ures as follows: “A perusal of House bill 3246, as amended by the Senate, concerning the appointment of a sealer of weights and measures, prompts me to submit to your consideration several matters bearing upon this subject. 1 am especially moved to do this because, from inquiries which have occasionally reached this office, I am led to believe that laws relating to weights and measures adopted in the District are likely to serve as a basis for similar legislation in other communities. “The definition of the standards to be provided by the District, for the use of the sealer, is defective owing to the state of national legislation on the subject. This difficulty can be met by changing the word- ing, beginning at line six, so as to read, ‘who shall have the custody and control of such weights and measures as now are, or hereafter shall be, provided by the Dis- trict of Columbia, and which shall conform ;}to the standard weight and measures adopted by the United States government.’ ‘The last three lines of section 1 are intended to limit the authority of the sealer in certain directions, and specities ‘scales.’ Would ft not meet the intention of the framers of the bill to change the wording so as to read, ‘That nothing herein con- tained shall be construed to require or to authorize the sealer of weights and meas- vres to test any scale, weights or measures ; belonging to the District (or District of to | Columbia?) “Considering that no two copies of the |same standard are ever alike in weight |or measure, it has been found needful by jall governments to establish a limit of error or tolerance. When the measures fall within this tolerance they must be sealed as correct, when they fall -outside of the tolerance in defect or excess they must be condemned. This is a rule estab- shed, it rests solely with the sealer to say whether the weights or measures are good or bad, and as none can be perfect, jin a strict sense, it leaves this important | matter, involving fines and other penalties, to the ‘discretion of a single officer. | “In England the power to establish this tolerance is vested in the board of trade. Should not the District Commissioners be empowered to prescribe this tolerance to the sealer? “Lastly, the sealer of weights and meas- ures should understand the art of weighing and measuring as applied in the per- fcrmance of their duties, and if some test of fitness were prescribed it would certain- ly, in general, promote the public welfare.” Bleyeles Ruled Out. The first controller has decided that the purchase of a bicycle for the purpose of inspection in connection with the lighting of the streets is not a proper charge against the appropriation for street lghting. Capt. Derby states in his explanation of the needs of a bicycle in the inspection de- partment that there are more than 250 | miles of lighted streets, and the inspectors, if compelled to go on foot, could not com- | plete the circuit in a month. Since they | have been mounted on bicycles and required | tg inspect every night a route mapped out | for them by the superintendent of lamps, a marked improvement has taken place in the work done. Noten. The Commissioners have been requested to open an ailey in square 49, as there are no outlets to said square and no way to get the garbage out. Committed to the Board of Guardians. A colored woman, Lizzie Perkins, with a three-months-old child, nearly white, was before the Police Court this morning and the child was committed to the board of guardians by Judge Kimball. She stated that the child was that of Thomas Burns and she did not know where he was. The court suggested that a bill should be pre- pared to reach the man. Bertie Johnson, a colored girl, whose father had abandoned her, was also com- mitted to the guardians. > Larceny Cases. On Satorday Special Officer Miles arrested at the Washington Market Kate Harding, a colored girl-of eleven years, and a colored woman,--Luly Lewis, for the larceny of apples and eggs, and the case was in court this morning. The court said that it was evident that this girl was being trained to steal, and he would send her to the reform school, and the woman was sent to jail for three months. Carrie Brown, larceny of $1 a colored girl, for the from the pocket book of Mrs. Siegel, 1223 7th street, on Friday last was sent to jail for thirty days. pele oilers Fourth-Class Postmasters, The total number. of. fourth-class post- masters appointed today was sixty-two.

Further Inquiry to Be Made About the Sierra Leone Skirmish. FUNERAL OF A BELGIAN DIPLOMAT. How Yesterday's Elections in France Are Regarded. COLLISION IN A FOG. Re She aera PARIS, Jan. 8.—M. Couchard, deputy from Senegal, has announced his intention to in- terpolate the government in regard to the engagement between French and British troops, near Warina, in the interior of Sierra Leone. re He will also question the government con- cerning the advance of the Bonny expe- dition. The Journal des Debats dbserves that the official report of the affair sent to the Brit- ish war office from Warina by Col. A. B. Ellis, commanding the first battalion of the British West India regiment, easily ex- plains the mistake made by Lieut. Moritz, the commander of the French fofces, who was mortally wounded in the engagement. The Estaffete deplores the incident, but denies that the fighting took place on Brit- ish territory. FUNERAL OF A DIPLOMAT. Services Over the Remains of the Bel- gian Minister to Exgland, LONDON, Jan. 8.—Funeral services were held this morning at the Brompton Ora- tory over the body of Baron Solvyns, Bel- gian minister to Great Britain, who died on January 3. Mr. Thomas F. Bayard, the American ambassador, was present, as were also nearly all the other members of the diplomatic corps. Lieut. Gen. S. Mi- chael. A. Biddulph, groom in waiting, and Col. Colville, in behalf of the queen, placed wreaths upon the coffin. Wreaths were also sent by the Prince of Wales and Lord Rose- berry, foreign minister. After a solemn mass of requiem the re- mains were interred in Kendal Green cem- etery. VICTORY FOR REPUBLICANS. How Yesterday's Elections in France Are Regarded There. PARIS, Jan. 8—The moderate newspa- pers agree that the result of yesterday's senatorial elections is a fresh success for the republicans and a rebuff to the conserv- atives and socialists. The Journal des Debats regrets the de- feat of M. Waddington, formerly French ambassador to Great Britain, who was de- feated in the Department of Aisne by M. Macherez, an ex-member of the chamber of deputies, The paper declares that the defeat of M. Waddington is a palpable loss to the senate. ‘The Petite Republicque says that the hour has not come to elect socialist senators, but that radicals of advanced opinions have been returned. COLD WEATHER CONTINUES. A Woman Frozen to Death in the Streets of Be LONDON, Jan. 8—The cold weather con- tinues today. The thermometer registers 19 degrees of frost. The body of a woman who had frozen to death during the night was found this morning. There has been a heavy snowfall at Wimbledon, and in some places the drifts are four feet deep. BELFAST, Jan. ¥—A woman froze to death in this city last night. Many injuries caused by persons falling on the icy streets have been reported. COLLIDED IN A FOG. Steamer Sunk and Two of Her Crew Drowned. LONDON, Jan. 8.—The British steamer Esk, bound from Shields for London with coal, was in collision last night with the Spanish steamer Musques, ore-laden and bound from Bilbao for Middlesborough. ‘The Spanish steamer was so badly damaged that she sank stern first in a few minutes after being struck. Twenty-two of her crew suc- ceeded in clambering on board the Ksk, but two others went down with the steamer. The Esk sustained much damage. The accident occurred off Lowestoft dur- ing a dense fog. A large unknown steamer is ashore at Dungeness. Tugs are at work trying to pull her off. A steamer put into Dover this morning. She ‘has been damaged in a collision with the steamer Linton, which proceeded. ‘Tne accident was caused by the heavy fog that prevailed last night. PREMIER RHODES CRITICISED. A Spani His Recent Speech Regard: Conduct of the © ler Co. LONDON, Jan. $.—The Pall Mall Gazette, commenting upon the speech made by Mr. Cecil Rhodes, premier of Cape Colony and chairman of the British South Africa Com- pany, at the banquet given in his honor xt Cape Town, says that Mr. Rhodes has the reputation of being judicious, He was in- discreet when he said that the result of the campaign against the Matabeles had real- ized an old project of his company. The declaration that Lobengula had forced the war, and the threat that the colonies would deal elsewhere if the crown did not recog- nize its duties to them, ought not to have emanated from the colonial premier. His hints are only a bluff. ‘The Westminster Gazette says: “Let Mr. Rhodes blaze away at his traducers, but why should he treat the outcry of Mr. La- bouchere and his little band, who did not dare to bring about a division of the house of commons on the Afatabele land question, as if they represented the views of the gov- ernment.” the ARREST IN SICILY. Anarchists Taken in Custody—Every- thing Quiet Today. LONDON, Jan. 8.—A special dispatch to the United Press from Rome states that matters are quiet in Sicily today. The priest arrested Saturday with a box full of compromising papers and who was released yesterday after showing that the box had been given to him for safe keeping by the wife of Giuseppe de Felice, the well-known socialistic leader and mem- ber of the chamber of deputies, was again taken into custody today, it having come to the knowledge of the police that he is acttmg In concert with Felice, who is at present in jail at Palermo. In consequence of the disturbances that occurred yesterday several anarchists were arrested today. Among the prisoners are several of the men who were the boldest of the rioters on May day, 1891. Enginzers who have examined the cut electric wires in Rome say that the cutting was done by skilled workmen. Several of the workmen have been questioned in re- gard to the affair and those who gave un- satisfactory answers were placed under ar- rest. Missionary Bishop Hill De: LONDON, Jan. 8.—A telegram from La- gos, capital of the colony of that game in West Africa, received at the church mis- sionary house in this city, announces the death of the Most Rev. Joseph Sidney Hill, bishop of the Nige: region, and his wife. The ‘dispatch gives no details about the deaths. Light Wires on the Corso Cut. ROME, Jan. 8.—The cable supplying the current for the electric lights on the Via Nazionale and the Corso was cut yesterday. The police were informed of the fact and made an unavailing search for the culprit. The Guildeford Breaking Up. LONDON, Jan. 8.—The British steamer Guildeford, Capt. Hicks, from Charleston for Reval, before reported stranded near the latter port, is breaking up. DIPLOMATIC MISTS Which Are Said to Envelop the Policy To- ward Brazil. About the Massing of Naval Vessels at Rio—News Awaited With Curiosity. The policy of the administration in the Brazilian affair is a well-kept secret. it is known in a general way that it is a Policy of strict neutrality and non-inter- ference, and it is a patriotic assumption that the administration will not counte- ance or permit European interference in the pending struggle in the interest of either party. There have been no oftictal utterances on the subject, and most of the so-called instructions which have been printed are mainly conjectural. The alleged instructions embody a course of action that many persons believe to be for the best interests of the United States, and may in their general character be borne out by the progress of events. The almost daily use of the cable be- tween Rio and Washington during the past ten days, and the long and detailed character of the messages from Capt. Picking, commanding the naval fleet at Rio, coupled with the fact that the Presi- dent is daily in conference with Secretaries Gresham and Herbert in regard to the condition of affairs in Brazil, is generaily regarded as indicative of the near approach of a crisis in the situation. The press dis- patches from Brazil give no indications of any recent important changes in the con- flict that would appear to justity the ex- tensive official use of the cable during the it week, so the conclusion is aimost irresistible that the communications to and from Capt. Picking relate more especially to a future plan of action on the part of the American government, the first signs of which will probably appear soon after the arrival at Rio of Admiral Benham on the flagship San Francisco, an event that may be looked for today or tomorrow. Ad- miral Benham will at once relieve Capt. Picking of command of the fieet, and the policy of the administration will be car- ried out under his personal supervision. Strict Neutrality. A long cipher message was sent to Capt. Picking Saturday evening, in which it is said the President impressed on him the importance of observing strict neutrality in all of his actions with the contending parties in the Brazilian revolution and of keeping aloof from any alliances with oth- er foreign naval and diplomatic representa- tives at Rio, The principal question before the Presi- dent ani his cabinet lately is said to re- late to the powers of this country in bring- ing about a settlement of the Brazilian troubles. It was the unanimous opinion of the officials, so it is said, that the proper Policy to be followed would not permit the United States to engage in any movement looking to the forcing of an ending of the rebellion. The Monroe doctrine prevented interference on the part of this country, just as it prohibited foreign intervention in the premises. That an insurrection of se- rious proportions which affected injuriously the commerce of the United States existed in Brazil was unfortunate, but that fact did net warrant this country to take steps which would force a settlement of existing difficulties, for by doing so action which would not be tolerated on the part of a foreign power would be necessary. It would not do for this country to insist upon one pond for foreigners and follow another it- self. No Immediate Change. Although the proposed course of action may be manifested at Rio this week there is an impression in naval circles that noth- ing will be done by Admiral Benham until the big cruiser New York reaches Rio. That vessel left St. Lucia several days ago and is not due at the Brazilian capital for ten days yet. With the addition of the Sen Francisco and New York the United States will have a naval force at Rio su- perior to that of any other power and will be amply able to protect all its interests. ‘The other vessels at Rio are the Charies- ton, Newark and Detroit, and their rein- forcement is undoubtedly due to the pur- pose of the administration to take some radical action in the premises, the success- ful accomplishment of which requires a strong naval force. The character of this action may be disclosed in the develop- ments of the next few days. As no in- formation is likely to be forthcoming at this end of the line on the subject the news must be awaited from the Brazilian end. More War Ships for Brasil. A cable message has been received by an American house engaged in the manufac- ture of ordnance material advising that the Brazilian war ships, the tron-clad Riachuelo and the cruiser Benjamin Constant, are to leave Toulon at once for Brazil. This is very important information, as bearing on the situation in Brazil, as in the event of these vessels arriving before the engage- ment it would practically insure the suc- cess of Peixoto in a sea fight, and if, on the other hand, Mello were successful in a_ sea fight with the present squadron the Ria- chuelo and Benjamin Constant would be more formidable enemies than the fleet now in Brazilian waters. Several days ago a correspondent cabled from Rio that Peixoto had ordered the vessels to leave for Brazil and the cable received Saturday would tend to confirm that information. ———-——__ Base Ball Notes. Mike Kelly arrived in Néw York yesterday from a long trip on the road with a variety company. He says Anson will place him at first base on the Chicago team this season. “Kel” further says he is not drinking a drop, and that he will begin training about February 15. President Von der Ahe has formally ten- dered the management of the Browns to the veteran Harry Wright. Upon Mr. Wright's acceptance, and the agreement upon terms, he will go at once to St. Louis and begin the reorganization of the Browns for the next season’s work. a Mr. Von der Ahe will decline to trade Kid Gleason to the Brooklyn club for Danny Richardson unless Tom Burns is thrown in. —+e2_—___ Domestic Economy in the Schools. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Although the women who met at Detroit have attracted favorable comment by ap- parently blaming their own sex for financial stringency, does it not seem almost like piling Ossa upon Pelion to put another bur- den upon the back of one who unfortunate- ly is not called the breadwinner? Certainly every woman will be gratified to have domestic economy more plainly taught in the schools, where her girls may learn to make wholesome, palatable food and ac- quire a taste for household pursuits much more readily when presented in the form of science than when “mother” attempts to instill it into their minds at home. In this way the mother has her duties lightened; but to really put the responsibil- ity of retrenchment in living expenses on woman alone is hardly fair. While it ts true that careful cooking can make cheaper meat palatable, yet the real saving must be in learning to eat plainer food. In other words, if the girls are taught to prepare plain, substantial food, such as Americans of today do not use, the boys must be taught to eat it. Wives and mothers will eagerly listen to suggestions that may help them in their daily task of making much out of lit- tle, but they often sadly feel that they are only saving at the spigot while the bunghole is not under their supervision; while they skimp in the kitchen until they feel their very souls contract, only cents are saved, while dollars are squandered elsewhere. Women are proverbially stingy and small- minded, but it might not be so if the spirit- ual could rise above the material. If American men would set up the same standard of economy for themselves that they do for their wives, the financial condi- tion in hundreds of homes would be better. This is getting dangerously near the doc- trine of equal rights, but when eminent statesmen say financial straits like the pres- ent are inevitable and must come every ten. years, is it not time to try some new pre- ventive? Woman has her faults and follies, but almost every observer of the sexes as a class admits her to be the more careful in small things. It follows that if this facul- ty is constantly used and fostered it will de- velop abnormally at the expense of more agreeable traits. This may not only be an evil to the women themselves, but to society at large, particularly since mothers worried and harrassed with petty cares they are powerless to avoid cannot bear and rear bright, amiable children. Give the woman a chance to use her financial abjities in plan- ning for the general welfare (not neglecting her domestic duties) before such traits are reached that she must see how little her family can sustain life upon.

A SO-CALLED MEDIUM POG EGSES TEESE GEIST ETET ETE SSSSsecru 5 Great Excitement at a Spiritualists’ Gath- ering Last Night Proceedings im the Police Court To- day—Released on Bail to Ap- pear Tomorrow. Patrick Jules* Wallace, an alleged spy- itual medium, was arrested last night by Detective Rhodes and locked up at No. 6 station on the charge of being a suspicious character. At the time of the arrest, Wal- lace was giving manifestations of “tests” before the Washington Society of Seekers After Spiritual Truth, at Typographical Temple. While the so-called tests were in course of operation, a young man arose and denounced Wallace for having publicly insulted him at a previous meeting. Mr. Fairchild, president of the society, told the young man to put his grievance in writ- ing and it would be considered by the so- ciety. The spiritualists objected to any in- terruption of their meetiag. At this junc- ture Detective Rhodes came to the front, and there was considerable confusion, many of the audience showing a disposition to interfere. Detectives Carter, Boardman, Wheeler and Detective Sergeant Perry came to the rescue. Rhodes laid hands on Wallace, but this only increased the excite- ment. The crowd seemed determined to rescue the prisoner, and it was a hard struggle to get Wallace to the patrol wagon. One of the incidents of the journey from the platform to the pavement was the at- tempt of the medium to pass a package of letters to a Mrs. Whitman. The lady secured the bundle of missives and was making off with it, when Detective Ser- geant Perry and Mr. Frank Austin of the police telegraph service interfered with her plans. She resisted strongly. Mean- while, Mr. Fairchild had been endeavoring to make himself heard from the platform, | it is said; in denunciation of the officers | of the law. The medium was at last land- ed. Then his lodgings at No. W837 H street northwest were searched, but nothing of importance was found. Wallace is a finé-looking man, and at one time was a drug clerk in New York city, where, it is said, he was known, not as Patrick Jules Wallace, but as Pat Ryan. From this he entered the variety show busi- ness, and at San Diego, Cal., re-entered the drug trade. After a period he went west and embarked in business as a spiritu- alistic medium. He is charged with having obtained money by fraudulent methods in a number of cities, having, it is claimed, victimized many people in the name of spiritualism. He was last conspicuous in St. Louis, and, it is claimed, was forced, with his rtner, to leave that city. The next thing heard of Wallace was in Wash- ington. The raid by the detectives fol- lowed. manifestations. Wallace stated that he was never known as Pat Ryan; that for the past four years he had been a medium, and that formerly he had been an actor with Dion Boucicault and other companies. He denied any wrong doing here or any- where else, and asserted that he was the victim of police and newspaper persecution. Im the Police Court. The man was locked up for the night at the sixth precinct, and this morning was charged before Judge Kimball, in the Po- lice Court, with vagrancy and with being a suspicious character. As he appeared in court he presented quite a clerical cut, dressed in black, with large white tie, smooth, round, full face and stout. Prosecuting Attorney Pugh, after stating the character of the charge against the man, asked for a continuance of the case until tomorrow morning, requ that he be put under bonds of $500. = Attorney Fleming for the pris- oner, and objected to a continuance of the case, stating that Wallace was ready for trial, and anxious that the case be at once heard. He claimed that his client had been arrested under Circumstances not at @ll creditable to the police department, and had been made the subject’of false and sensational newspaper reports. The bond: for exceeded the penalty, $200 bonds, At Police Headquarters. Wallace was taken to police headquarters, where he gave his name as Patrick Jules Wallace; age thirty-one years; married; born in Ireland, and a spiritualistic me- dium by occupation. On his person was found a purse containing $1.45 in change and three pawn tickets for jewelry deposited at Fulton's loan office, a gold watch and chain and a number of papers and letters. In an envelope was found a black false mustache and imperial. The letters, the police claim, clearly evidence the fraudu- lent character of the man and his which could be inflicted in case of convic- tion, and he asked that they be reduced. Judge Kimball granted the continuance requested, and placed the bond at $200, which was subsequently furnished. sess rl Mr. William Potter, the retiring United States minister at Rome, has lire to the poor of that city.
