Bad Condition of 3d Street. The residents of 3d street have combined in a petition to the Commissioners calling attention to the deplorable condition of that part of 3d street lying between B street and South Carolina avenue southeast. It is stated in the petition that the dirt has been washed over the entire pavement and during the wet weather it is with much in- convenience that pedestrians can get along. The petition has been referred to the en- gineer department for investigation. Bogus Charitable Entertainments. Lieut. Vernon of the fourth preicnct police station has informed the Commissioners that they are being imposed upon by cer-|, tain people who give entertainments osten- sibly for charitable purposes. He states that after permits are given for an ex- tended time, the parties seil permission to others to give entertainments. The matter will be inquired into. Am Assistant Inspector Needed. The attorney for the District has drafted a bill authorizing the Commissioners to appoint an assistant inspector of liquor licenses. This bill has been drafted at the suggéstion of the Commissioners, who ap- preciate’ that the clerk to the excise board has no time for inspection, puch as is con- templated by the act of March 3, 1893. Notes. President Wm. C. Endicott, president of the girls’ reform school, has called the at- tention of the Commissioners to the con- dition of the Loughborough road and asks that the same be graded and macadamized from the Conduit road to the school. Another protest has been received from several property owners on 2ist street ob- jecting to the location of railroad tracks in that street. ' A long printed petition has been received by the Commjssioners bearing the signa- tures of 110 property holders on K street southwest earnestly protesting against the granting of the privileges to the George- town Termina! Railway Company as con- tained in House bill 5250. A protest has been received by the Com- missioners against the granting of a liquor Meense to any person desiring to go into the liquor business in block 11, Trinidad. Christ Evangelist Lutheran Church has asked to have lots 78 and 7, exempted from taxation, as they are to be used for re- ligious purposes. ‘The attention of the Commissioners has been called to the dangerous condition of Alexandria court, and they are urged to remove the obstructions. ————— Jane Meade Welch's Lectures.

RESCUED THE CREW Only One Man From the Kearsarge Was Lost. ENGLAND'S SILVER POLICY IN INDIA Minister Threat With Turkey Succeeds. Tetrell’s GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS COLON, Panama., Feb. 12.—The crew of the United States cruiser Kearsarge was reached at noon Saturday. Only one man was drowned. He was a s2cond-class fire- man named Anderson Robbins. The good old warship was abandoned gn Roncador reef with the stars and stripes still flying at her peak. The steamship City of Para, with the crew of the Kearsarge on board, will leave this port for New York on Wednesday next. ‘The Navy Department Informed. A long-distance telephone message was received at the Navy Department about 11 o'clock this morning from the New York agent of the Panama Railroad Company, saying that a dispatch was received this morning from the agent of the company at Colon announcing that the City of Para had arrived there with all the officers and men of the wrecked steamer Kearsarge safe and sound, This was most welcome intelligence to officials of the department, as it enabled them to allay the fears and apprehensions of the familles of the castaways, and the news was disseminated to all parts of the country as quickly as the telegraph could convey it. 3 The message said that “all hands were alive and well,” and says nothing of possible hardships that they may have encountered on Roneador reef during the ten days that elapsed since the wreck and the date of their rescue, The unsubmerged land of Ron- cador, though small in area, is quite suffi- clent to accommodate the entire ship's com- Pany. They had plenty of provisions, but were short of fresh water and may have suffered from thirst. There is a well of water on the reef, but It is brackish and scarcely fit to drink. That all hands are ‘well’ shows that they overcame whatever discomforts they had been subjected to in consequence of lack of fresh water and shelter. It also disposes of the fear that they may have en- countered severe weather. The weather may have been bad at times, but it was not of a character that entailed any perma- rent Consig Owing to the heavy cable tolls it is not at all likely that any attempt will be made to forward an official report of the disaster until Admiral Stanton and his party arrives at New York. It is expected, however, that he or Commander Heyerman will cable from Colon an official confirmation of the unofficial telephonic report of the safe ar- rival of officers ard crew of the Kearsarge at Colon. It is also probable that the department will be promptly advised by telegraph of the condition of the wreck, in order to act intelligently in taking the necessary meas- ures for the recovery of any property that may have survived the ravages of the waves. What Secretary Herbert Says. A Star reporter saw Secretary Herbert about noon today and was informed by him that it was true that the officers and men of the Kearsarge were safe and sound at Colon and would come to New York on the steamer Para. The Secretary said he had heard from Admiral Stanton on the subject this morn- ing, and had authorized the ship's company to proceed to New York. He had not asked for a report of the disaster by telegraph, and did not expect to get an official account of the wreck until the party arrives in this country. Until that reaches him ft would be mani- festly improper for him, he said, to indicate what he proposed to do in the matter. The regulations prescribe for an investi- gation in such cases and a court of in- quiry to determine the responsibility for the joss of the vessel will be convened soon after the arrival in this country of the necessary witnesses. Secretary Herbert gave permission for the publication of the following two ‘telegrams, which, he said, were all that have passed ie anes 1a BOLON, Feb. 12, 1804. af - Feb. 2: Becretary Navy, Washington: Arrived. Shall we proceed New York by Para, 14th? STANTON. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12, 1804, Stanton, Colon: Congratulations, Proceed with crew to New York by Para. HERBERT. Report of a Death Discredited. It was rumored that one of the enlisted men on the Kearsarge had been killed by the wreck, but in the absence of informa- tion on the subject naval officers are in- clined to discredit the report. One officer said that the fact that Admiral Stanton made no reference to any casualty to orfi- cers or crew ts accepted at the department as prima facie evidence that none had oc- curred. Under the regulations, officers are bound to brevity in all telegraphic messages, and it is an official understanding that the of- ficers and crew are well whtn nothing ts said to the contrary. Cost of Rescue. The rescue will cost the government about $6.000, including the services of the vessel and crew, and the insurance, for the Para had to be especially insured for this trip. This was done on Friday morning. The Panama Company placed $200,000 worth of insurance on her in New York, and $150,- 000 in London, at rates running from 3-4 to 1 1-2 per cent. The total cost will be $3,- 721.38, which the government has agreed to pay. Of the $2,500 which the government is to pay for the use of the vessel, one-haif each will go to the Pacific Mail Company and to the Panama Railroad Company. The expenses do not include the cost of passage from Colon to New York, which will swell the total considerably. Extent of the Disaster. The official news concerning the Kear- sarge is very meager, but it is sufficient to satisfy the Navy Department that. the vessel and contents are lost beyond hope of recovery and that whatever wreckage may have lodged on the reef is not worth the expense of fitting out an expedition to bring them home. Thus, it appears that the historic ship and the two 11-inch smooth-bore guns which contributed so | materially to her signal victory over the Alabama off the coast of Cherbourg are | to be abandoned to the mercy of the waves and the relic hunter. The guns have a historic value, but otherwise they are prac- tieally worth no more than so much ircn. As put by a naval officer: ‘They have out- lived their usefulness.” KIMBERLEY'S SILVER POLICY. No Change to Be Made Regarding the Metal in India. LONDON, Feb. 12.—The Times {1 its financial article says that it is estimated that goods engaged for shipment to india for the next six months have an aggregate | value of £15,000,000 sterling. It is alleged that nearly the whole of this stupendous total has been contracted for on the basis that the rupee is worth one shilling three pence, India exchange has recently dropped eight per cent below this price and the loss therefore will amount to £1,200,000. The question arises, who has to bear it? Both the merchants and the eastern banks appear to have protected themselves in ad- vance. ‘The total loss will be large, but widely spread. Nothing could better show the ill effects of the vacillating policy on the part of those who undertook to steady exchange. It is to be earnestly hoped that the drastic measures taken in India for the purpose of lightening money markets will not be used to securing an unsafe level where it would eventually relapse again. The Times in an article on Indian affairs says: We understand that the Earl of Kim- berley has resolved that until the experi- ment has had a fair trial nothing short of a parliamentary resolution wili induce him to recpen the Indian mints, and that he is determined to persevere in selling council bills from week to week at market rates. Further, we understand that he will con- sent to no proposal for import duty on sil- ver, with the object of upholding the rupee. The financial and commercial world, which bears the brunt, has the right to know dis- bec Bd pe hepa will Econcmists, whether agreeing fering from the Earl of Kimberley, are of one mind as to the danger of further vacil- lation durirg the present export season, MINISTER TERRELL SUCCEEDS. -be followed. with His Threat Secured the Release of Naturalized Americana. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 12. — United States Minister Alexander W. Terrell, after taking a vigorous stand in the matter and threatening to ask the United States gov- ernment to send one or more warships to Iskanderum, norihern Syria, has succeeded in obtaning the release of one of two Ar- menians, naturalized Americans, who have been imprisoned there for some time past. United States Minister Terrell was in- formed of the arrest of the two natural- | ized Americans only after they had been in prison for about two months, and he imme- diately demanied their Mberation. The Port? contended that they were Turkish subjects and announced its determination to maintain its right to keep them in prison pending their trial for high treason. The United States minister replied that | if they were not released within a siven {time he would ask the United S<ates gov- [ernment to send two warships to Iskande- | rum with instructions to compel the author- ities to release the two naturalized Ameri- cans, MUCH DAMAGE TO SHIPPING. A Heavy Storm Sweeps the British Channel and Coast. LONDON, Feb. ~The chanrel and the British coast have again been swept by a heavy storm, which has done much damage to shipping. A hurricane in the channel | yesterday evening detained the mail and | Passenger steamer at Newhaven. The Dieppe steamer which was due to arrive at Newhaven at 5 o'clock this morning has not yet been sighted. Many minor casualties are reported and the telegraph poles in many directions have been blown down, thus preventing the re- celpt of accurate information regarding shipping disasters, he steamer Resolven, from Gibraltar, has been wrecked on the Barber Sands. Norfolk. The Resolven had on board sev- enty-five passengers, who were with diffi- culty rescued by the life boats. These are all the facts obtainable up to the time this dispatch is sent, but it is reported that there have been several other wrecks on various parts of the coast. REMAINED ON BOARD. The British Police Unable to Secure a Man on a Steamship. QUEENSTOWN, Feb. 12—While the steamship Pavonia, Capt. Watt, bound for Boston, was here on Saturday, she was boarded by the police, who had instruc- tions to arrest a man in company with a lady, who had eluded the police while the steamer was in the Mersey. When preparing to transfer the prisoner to the tender, he refused to accompany the policeman and clasped hold gc tightly of the iron fixtures of the gangway that, in spite of the efforts of the police, he succeeded in remaining on board the Pavonta, which was steaming slowly seaward with the tender fast alongside of her. Eventually, the*captain of the tender insisted upon casting off and the police were obliged to leave the Pavonia without their prisoner, mid the jeers of the passengers. Serious Fall of a Princess. LONDON, Feb. 12.—The Princess Ena, the little daughter of Prince Henry of Bat- tenburg and Princess Beatriee, who met with a serious accident while out ri in the grounds at Osborne, Isle of Wight, on Saturday, is recovering. ‘The princess, who 1s only six years old, was ildiag on a pony led by a groom, when the animal stumbled and she was thrown head fore- most to the ground. The princess was able to walk to the palace, but soon after reach- ing there she fell asleep and it was believed that she had sustained a serious injury to her head, as a long time ela; before the specialists who were summoned to at- tend her were able to awake Princess Sir Harry Verne Dead. LONDON, Feb. 12.—Sir Harry Verney is dead. He was born in 1801, held eeveral important positions and will be succeeded by his son, Capt. Verney, formerly a mem- ber of parliament, and who had retired from the navy. Capt. Verney was sen- tenced to a year’s imprisonment for being connected with the procuration of a young governess, who was enticed from London claimed, to Paris at the instigation, it is (of the captain. Cardi 1 Ledochowski’s Resignation. ROME, Feb. 12.—The report i¢ again re- vived that Cardinal Ledochowski is con- templating resigning his office as prefect of the congregation of the propaganda fide. There are several rumors in circulation in regard to the cause of Cardinal Ledo- chowski’s contemplated action, but the most generally believed version of the affair is that Cardinal Ledochowski disagrees with Cardinal Rampolla, the papal secre- tary of state, in regard to the papal policy toward France, and, it is also asserted, Cardinal Ledochowski does not agree with Cardinal Rampolla on the subject of the attitude of the Vatican toward Mgr. Sato! inal Ledochowski is also sald to be the declared enemy of Mgr. Satolll. English Denunciation of Tammany. LONDON, Feb. 12.—The Dally News, in commenting upon an article on the Tam- many Society in the Atlantic Monthly, says that it constitutes the heaviest irMlict- ment ever preferred against Tammany. Nobody before has so conclusively shown that it possessed all the worst features of @ secret society. “Why lynch the Mafia members in New Orleans,” the article adds, ‘when these new-fangled carbonari are suffered to ter- rorize at their ease New York? They are not entitled to prescription of race in New York, and were the community more pub- He spirited it would long since have puri- fied this odious institution or perished in the attempt.” France and Italy. LONDON, Feb. 12.—A dispatch to the Chronicle from Rome says that the object of the visit of the Italian ambassador Ress- man to Rome is to receive instructions looking to the conclusion of the friendly commercial relations between France and Italy. Cholera Consta ople. LONDON, Feb. 12.—The Athens corre- spondent of the Standard says that it is | learned frdm official dispatches that cholera has reappeared in Constantinople. A dozen deaths from this disease have recently oc- | eurred, chiefly in the barracks. It is be- Neved that the authorities are hiding facts which would show the wide extent of the epidemic.

PRINCESS COLONNA’S STATEMENT. Her Husband Had Plotted to Steal Her Children, NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—Mr. J. W. Mackay, jr., this morning said that he was authorized to make public the following statement which was written and signed by the Princess Colonna: “I authorize you to state that my sudden decision ‘to leave France and come to America ,was due solely to a plot which I discovered, that Prince De Galatro Colonna, my husband, had formed to steal one of my chijdren from me as a hostage; indi- viduals having been employed by him to that effect, as well as to closely watch my movements. Princess Evelyn De Galatro Colonna.” Mr. Mackay said that he had nothing further to say in reference to the matter , and that the princess had no plans for the future. Foes rats AML Quiet in Haytl. NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—Capt. Owen of the steamer Alps, which arrived this morning from Jeremie, Hayti, reports all quiet at | that port at the time of his departure. For- | ty-five buildings were destroyed in the late | fire reported at that town. One of the in- cendiaries, who led the party that set fire ito the town, was tried, found guilty and sentenced to be shot, which was carried out. THE DRAINAGE TUNNEL Progress of the Work as Reported by Col Elliot. The Two Gangs of Workmen Are About to Meet Beneath the G Nearly Completed. Col. George H. Elliot, corps of engineers, has reported to the chief of engineers that the excavation of the main drainage tunnel of the receiving reserveir of the Washing- ton aqueduct was carried on night and day during the month of January. At the end of the month, he says, the headings of the tunnel were so near each other that the workmen in one could hear the drills in the other heading. The total distance the headings had been driven up to the end of the month was 853 feet. The total amount of bench taken up during the month was 240 feet, making a total since the work be- gan of 819 feet. The total length of tunnel timbered up to the end of the month was The construction of the brick and cement shed at the south end of the tunnel was completed during the mgnth, as a brick and cement shed on the hill above the shaft. The excavation of sand in the bed of Lit- tle Falls branch was carried on whenever the weather was favorable. Of the proba- ble operations during ebruary Col. Killot says: “It is expected to complete the excava- tion of the tunnel and to commence the work of trimming out preparatory to lining it with masonry.” Readers of The Star know that his expectations regarding the — of the tunnel have been real- Two deeds, one from the Norwood Heal Estate Company and the other from the Metropclitan Southern Railroad Compan: |for parcels of laad required for the im: provement have been recorged at Rockville.

CHICAGO, Feb. 12—A new church has been born into the world. It all happencs at the Bricklayers’ Hall last evening in the presence of a large number. The “Modern Church,” which is to have bath rooms instead of altars, a library instead of incense, a gymnasium instead of a’ créed and a bowling alley instead of liturgy, was formally organized and held its first service. There was nothing supernatural at its birth. The initial sermon was delivered by the Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, who read Christ’s sermon on the mount and a portion of the 26th chapter of Matthew, giving the closing scenes in the life of the Savior. The plan of operations of the new church was then outlined, the intention being to erect a building which would contain in its ‘basement bath rooms, a gymnasium and a bowling alley. The main floor would be fitted up as a reading end writing room, and tables would be provided for games, &c. On the upper floor would be the au- ditcrium. ‘There would be no pastor and no collec- tion and seats would be free. Meetings would be held each Sunday and the work- ers would be given an opportunity of listen- ing to men of all thought. Mr. Jones took his text from the fortieth verse of the 26th chapter of Matthew: “What, would ye not watch with me one hour?” He said these words were the cry of a soul for sympathy, the groan of a heart for companionship. This cry of the great teacher in the garden was the wail of the centuries and was the most fundamental thought of man, the highest privilege of religion to gratify. The movement to establish a modern church carried with it great and prophetic interest. The church should be established on the root of sympathy. In it all preju- dices should be buried. The road to sym- pathy was the near, dear, holy road of service. The modern church should be the church of the Good Samaritan—the Good Samaritan brought down to the nineteenth century. The church that did ndt anything in this world was nots moder church—not even an antiquity. It was a muisance and ‘@ stumbling block, and should be put out of the way. - ‘ said that the possibilities of The speaker the new church were almost beyond the power of description: It would make the millionaire and the beggar equal, who have an equal need of good. To fail in such un- dertaking, he said, was a greater glory than to succeed with a less worthy object. In conclusion he said: “Build on honesty, build on helpfulness, then you build on the everlasting foundation which prophets and saints have laid in all ages.” Pending arrangements for the erection of a suitable edifice, the church will meet every second Sunday afternoon at Brick- layers’ Hall, and the services will be con- ducted by popular preachers from ail the churches in turn, arrangements having been made for “pulpit supply.” The people who will attend these meetings are not the church people and do not pro- fess to be. For various reasons they have held aloof from the churches. But their ob- dections have been more against dogma than teligion, and against forms of theol- ogy more than against Christ. ———— HE MET “GREEN GOOD: MEN. Now He Has Less Money, but More Ex- perience Than Before. JERSEY CITY, N. Feb. 12.—The third man from Tennessee in search of green goods turned up in Jersey City this morn- ing. He is a colored man named Everett Bell and is from Memphis, Tenn. He was not so fortunate as his two white prede- cessors, Lewis and Vaughn, who were res- cued from the clutches of the green goods men by the Jersey City police last week. The story he told the police was this: He sald he had received attractive green goods circulars. So he gathered together enough to pay his fare to New York and $250 besides. He came over the Lehigh Valley railroad and was met by one of the green goods men at Bethlehem, . He thinks this man’s name was Thos. Walsh and that he resides at 79 West street, New York. The man accompanied Bell to New York city Bell was taken to the headquarters of the gteen goods men and there relieved of his money. Bell was very much confused as to the locality of the place he went to in New York and did not appear to be able to give any definite information on that point. , ———“—.<.{.+—-- PIANO FACTORY BURNED.

From the Honolulu Advertiser, January 19. In the report of the session of the coun- cils, published on another page, will be found a statement of the national indebt- edness, which discloses a very encouraging state of affairs. In spite of many circum- stances of peculiar difficulty and of prophe- cles of bankruptcy, the Hawaiian goverr- ment is stronger and sounder financially than it was before the 17th of January. A revolutionary government which includes among the triumphs of its first year the improvement of the national credit and finances is a wonder among its kind. The confidence of business men has been a great source of strength, and skillful man- agement has done much. ——— - +e+ —___ Marriage Licenses.
