Canal Navigation Not to Open Until the Middle of March. Applicants Anxious About the Col- lectorship Vacancy—Other Interesting Items, It is reported by canal men that, though it was hoped to open the waterway by the ist of March, communication with owners of vessels has developed the fact that they are unwilling to bring their boats up the Potomac before the middle of the month. Consequently trade will practically not be resurrected until that date, and no ad- Vantage can be gained by bringing the fuel to town and piling it up on the wharves, as coal always comes down faster than it can be shipped away. A Meeting to Protest. The proposed traction railroad is to come out Massachusetts avenue extended and connect with the Georgetown and Tenley- town railroad near the Woodley Inn through a system of transfers. As this will divert a large amount of travel from Georgetown, those who for some time have been fighting for the advancement of the West End will meet tonight to protest, in the name of the people of Georgetown, against a connection at this point. Arrested for Stealing Harness. There were two colored men arrested yes- terday on a charge of stealing a set of har- ness recently from Schaffer & Clary, the Washington grocers. William Early and William Evans were the names given by the prisoners. Early was errested first, and, on being questioned about the theft, impli- cated Evans. Hence the latter's arrest. Evans, it is claimed, was the one who sold the harness. The Collectorship. There is a very noticeable impatience among the candidates for the collectorship over the inactivity of Secretary Carlisle in regard to the appointment of a successor to Mr. Johnson, the present incumbent, whose resignation was some days ago asked for. Proposed New High School. If the bill introduced yesterday asking for an apprepriation of $100,000 with which to erect a high school building in George- town passes, a structure similar to the Present Central High School will be put up, the amount needed for the purpose, | including ihe cost of site, &c., having been ; baved on that structure's cost. Work on the Rockville Road. There is to be heavy work on the new Rockville road. The pike at present is built of great boulders. These must be blasted and carried to the sides. The low side rcads which at present run on either side of the pike are to be built up to the same srade, thus making one highway of even grade and sixty feet in width.

A discussion was held #s to the pro- priety of granting commissions direct to the advertiser. A greater part of the after- | roon wes taken up in the discussion of the rates of machine composition, and it! was the unanimous verdict of the associa- tion that a time rate was fairer to both the office and the operator and was pro- ductive of the best results. The annual banquet will be held at the Hotel Imperial this evening. —— A Fearful Fight for His Life. A fearful battle for his life was fought by George Eder with six burglars at St. | Louis yesterday morning. Eder sieeps and | | works in Speciks & Simpson's tailor shop, and was aroused by the efforts of some one trying to break in the door. Before he could collect his wits the door was broken in and six men crowded in. Eder reached | for a hatchet, but was driven back by a blow on the head from the bar used in weapon, and blows upon blows were ex- char ged until the hatchet was wrenched frcm Eder’s hand. He still fought desper- ately. Finally he reached a pair of shears, which he used as a dagger, ultimaiely driving the crowd away. He then fe! conscious, and now lies dying from a frac- j tured skull.

Secretary Morton Writes to Repre- sentative Sibley About It. Secretary of Agriculture Morton has writ- {ten a letter to Representative Sibley of Pennsylvaaia, which furnishes another chap- ter in the sharp controversy going on of late over the extermination of Russian thistles. Mr. Morton incloses a letter he wrote to Gov. Shortridge of North Dakota, in which the following language occurs: “No one more than myself. appreciates the importance of exterminating this and other noxious weeds which infest the farms of the United States. But I do not think it the business of the government to destroy weeds for the people, any more than it is to raise wheat for them, or to cultivate corn, by appropriations from the public funds. Having given the lands to home- steaders, it seems that an intelligent self- interest on the part of all the donees should inspire them to so cultivate the lands as to bring the highest possible price for the labor bestowed in that cultivation. The law of self-preservation ought to make zealous every farmer in the Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas to apply with might and main every means at his command for either utilizing or exterminating the Russian thistle. But federal legislation can neither exterminate weeds by statute, nor by attempting to in- vest powers in others, which in the minds of many do not pertain to itself.” Use of the Thistle. Mr. Morton cites from letters and agri- cultural papers as to the use which can be made of the Russian thistle. A letter from Mr. Wangle of the Northwest Farmer, Win- nipeg, Manitoba, states that Dakota farm- brid will do well to turn out sheep on the istie lands, as thistles will fur cited to the effect that th. a me eS ¢ thistle is a bene- be used for hay west Farmer is = 4 [geod at lo.

Buectelage ‘In view of the diversity of opinion as to the Possibilities of the Russian thistle in the ‘otas, above expressed by the practical farmers, I sce no reason for changing my position as to the propriety of appropriat- ing $1,000,000 out of the treasury of the United States for the purpose of employing commissioners and weed exterminators, whose special energies shall be lirected to ge ee of this weed. retary -Morton’s leiter to Representa- tive Sibley bears date February 2. It states that “neither Gov. Shortridge nor any other person has a letter from me stating that I regard the Russian thistle as a blessing to the farmer.” The Shortridge Jetter is inclosed to show just what the Secreatry has said. The Secretary proceeds: As to Some Rumors. “You remark that I am ‘reported as tagonistic to the bureau of animal industry, opposed to wheat inspection and adverse to the distribution of seeds to farmers.’ A copy of the animal report of the Secretary On Agricultuye for 1893 is transmitted to you tnis day. Be kind enough, if you can spare the Ume, to read that report, and permit it to indicate my views. Rumors are vague and of uncertain origin. Official reports are the direct statements of the of- ficers making them. You cite also other ‘reported utterances,’ which are, in some cases, wholly without foundation and in others grossly distorted. But I have neither inclination nor time to even deny ‘reported utterances,’ nor is it necessary to anticipate the vindication which time always awards to rectitude and truth.” “May I hope that the inclosed letter (to Gov. Shortridge) can be given the same pub- licity which was given to the statement that the Secretary of Agriculture had declared the Russian thistle to be a benefit and a blessing in disguise. <i “It will afford me great satisfaction to meet you at the department whenever it may suit your convenience to call. Mean- time, I respectfully assure you that after having lived ia the country, on the same farm, among real farmers, for nearly forty years I have a very strong and abiding in- terest in the welfare of American agricul- ture and a wholesome and honest ambition to, in every legitimate manner, exalt its character and increase its usefulness. With assurances, J.

The Private Bidders Are Dissatisfied and There is Some Talk of Appeal— The Present Force Sufficient. The postage stamp contract was awaried late yesterday afternoon by Postmaster General Bissell, who has had the matter under advisement for some time. The bids for the contract were submitted on November 15, in accordance with an ad- vertis¢ment of the Postmaster General made in October. There are four classes of stamps to be issued. The basis of award of each of these and cost at pres- ent contract rates are as follows: Ordinary stamps, 2,750,208,000, $205,447; * Postage due stamps, 18,101,960, $1,537, and special delivery stamps, 3,528,070, $635. The bids were as follows: Hamilton Bank Note Company of N 379,294, all steam work, or pant hand’ ‘and part a hand work. Johnson of the bureau of engraving steam, and $208,889, all printirig, soon after the opening of bids, asked for permission to apply for the work for the bureau, and submitted en estimate, and the matter has been advisement since then. The Bureau's Bid. Almost upon the cpening of the bids Su- Perintendent Johnson of the bureau of en- sent, sent a bid to the Post Office Depart- ment lower than any of the private bids, The post office officials saw in the chance to avoid the troubles and having the work done out of town, braced the plan with spirit. The bidders opposed the proposition ground that the law intended work should be done by private that the bureau could not execute at its bid.

It has been reported at the Post Office Department that the private bidders will seek to appealefrom the decision of Postmaster General, and it is quite prob- ble that the case may be referred to the ngewe General.
