The bill for the purchase of a site for the new printing office came up in the Senate yesterday afternoon and might have been acted upon had it not been for the desire of Senator Dolph to get a chance to stir up the animals on the democratic side on the tariff question. As it is, the discussion on this bill was confined mainly to partisan de- bate, in which Senators Dolph and Allen in- | dulged in charges of sectionalism and in prophecies. Mr. Dolph said of the bill it- self: “There seems to have been very re- | cently a great change in the controversy | concerning the printing office site. In the discussion of measures to provide for a site, | heretofore the controversy has appeared to be between sites at a distance from the present printing office, which were offered to the government, or considered eligible, and, if I recollect aright, the site of the | Present public printing ‘office was con- demned, and severely condemned, by even the Senator from Missouri (Mr. Vest), who now has charge of the pending measure. It has been stated by him and other Sen- ators that it is not a convenient location, and that in the interest of economy there should be selected a site to which there could be constructed a branch railroad or spur track, so that transportation by rail could be had instead of cartage by teams. It has been stated that the present site is too low; that a basement cannot be con- structed there which would be serviceable; that it would be too damp. But now the opinion seems to have changed, and the proposition before the Senate is to buy ad- ditional ground adjoining the site of the present public printing office, which is im- proved, and for which the government must not only pay for the land but for the im- provements, and the excuse for this change of opinion and for the purchase of the site now propesed seems to be the necessity for economy. “Something might be saved in the cost of the ground by purchasing the site now pro- posed, instead of some other site offered, but the saving would be entirely in the cost of the ground, and there would probably be more loss in the additional cost of a proper building at that location than would THE WORK OF RELIEF The Means Employed in Washing- ton to Aid the Destitute DESCRIBED BYSUPERINTENDENT TRACEY Funds Raised and the Methods of Distribution. AN INTERESTING REVIEW ——_~s—__ The March number of “The Review of Reviews” contains the following account, written by Col. John Tracey, superintendent of charities and chairman of the central re- Nef committee, of the means employed to relieve distress here during the season of great destitution: ‘The federal capital 1s peculiarly placed with regard to the conditions of distress that exists in all large cities of the country. Not being a manufacturing center, the num- ber of unemployed artisans and laborers is relatively less than in other municipalities of importance. Nevertheless, the entire suspension of building industries has thrown a large number of men out of work, not only masons, carpenters and plasterers, and other mechanics, but the employes of brick- yards and other establishments in which building materials are prepared. The sus- pension of these industries has left out of work about 2,500 hundred men who usually earn wages at this season of the year. There is considerable suffering among the people engaged in what the French call “the small industries.” The financial! panic has deprived these people of their ordinary custom, and there are many hundred homes in Washington in which there now exists real want of the necessaries of life among people who are very reluctant to make their sufferings known, and who, through pride, bear their privations in silence as long as they can. There is also, as is customary in winter, an influx of needy people, particularly col- ored persons, from the District of Columbia outside Washington, and from nearby local- ities in Virginia and Maryland. This tem- porary migration has been larger than last year, but is now daily increasing. Alto- gether, with a resident population approxi- mating closely to 300,000, there may be esti- mated to be now in Washington about 15,000 persons who are legitimate subjects of pub- lic aid, exclusive of those who are regular inmates of charitable and reformatory insti- tutions, Charitable Institution: The institutions of Washington care for a large number of persons, both permanent inmates and transient subjects of relief. It is a singular feature of the situation that some establishments of the latter class have not been crowded. Such is the case with the Temporary Home for ex-Union Soldiers and Sailors, where applicants for pensions usually resort, and also with the Municipal Lodging House, where those seeking re Hef are required to do a certain amount of work for each night's lodging and each meal furnished. The Central Union Mission, a general institution of aid and shelter for the indigent, reports its applications this winter larger than at any time during the past nine years; as is also the case with the Young Women's Christian Home, which does similar charitable work exclusively for females. On the other hand, the police authorities and Society of St. Vincent de | Paul, the Associated Charities and other or- | ganizations which distribute food, clothing and fuel to persons at their homes, report the demand for relief as large beyond pre- ‘cedent, and many cases of extreme desti- tution in quarters where it has not here fore existed. The Washington Asylum, which unites the offices of alms house and hospital for the destitute, is very crowded, and ar- rangements for increasing accommodations there became necessary. | Specific measures for emergency relief | | were adopted by the organization of the} central relief committee of citizens, upon | the plan outlined by the public meeting | held on December 1 That meeting was called by the Commissioners of the District | of Columbia in_ response to a public de-/ mand, expressed through the newspapers | and many communications. It resulted in two lines of relief effort—one to obtain work | for the unemployed, and the other to give | systematic succor to those needy and de- serving. A committee was appointed to ask Congress to render immoviately available the contemplated appropriation of 853,000 for construction and repair of District road- ways. This application, favored by the House committee on appropriations, failed temporarily through a single objection in the House, and was thrown over until after the tariff debate. It is still expected that the bill wiil pass in time to insure the be- ginning of the work early ‘n the spring in- stead of after July 1. The Central Committee. A system of relief to the worthy was pro- vided in accordance with a resolution of the same meeting, by the appointment of a central relief committee of fifteen, desig- be saved in the purchas> of the ground, which, as I say, is understood to be not conveniently located and not adequate in quantity.” Wilson Bill Denounced. This brought Mr. Dolph to the point of branching off to the subject of economy, and the tariff and the matter of the printing office was not mentioned again. He drifted into a discussion of the Wilson tariff bill, and asserted that it was placed in the hands of three Senators who were conspicuous in the late slave states. “But it seems that this committee of three, who deny that they are a committee, have not been able to pre- pare in secret a bill that would meet the approval of the democratic majority, and after a week spent in caucus, and it is un- derstood that the matter is to be remanded to the same committee.” The bill was es- sentially the same as it came from the House, and the only modifications were modifications to prevent defections from the jority. ™the Dill fs to be remanded, not in the in- terests of the country’s industries, but that the votes of the Senators from West Vir- ginia, Maryland and Louisiana should be secured, and that Senator Brice and the Senators from New York might be placated. The bill was shamefully sectional, said Mr. Dolph, and was admirably designed for the degradation of the American laborer, and one of the most iniquitous features of | it was the rect ucts, which w the Canadian labore had been given no opportunity to be heard, as they were en the McKinley bill was before the Senate. Mr. Dolph Prophesies, “But,” said Mr. Dolph, “a day of reckon- ing is comming; the handwriting is on the wall; the people will repudiate you demo- crats; the next House of Representatives will be as overwhelmingly republican as the present one is democratic. The next Pres- ident will be a republican, and the people of the country will never rest until they have undone the mischief which the democrat party has done, and which it is still doin, Mr, Dolph called attention to the election of a republican Representative in a demo- cratic stronghold in New York and to the majority of 190,000 rolled up a few days ago in Pennsylvania. ‘A spirited personal colloquy between Sen- ators Dolph and Allen continued for some time, when Mr. Palmer of Illinois calmed the controversy by moving that the Senate proceed to the consideration of executive business. —_——+e+ Judicial Appointment. Justice Field of the United States Su- | preme Court has appointed Wm. G. Long marshal of the northern district of Cali- fornia, Ee aCe Registering Chinese. A circular letter has been sent to all collectors of internal revenue by Commis- sioner Miller calling for statements showing the condition existing in each district with reference to the registration of Chinese un- der the amended law. The collectors are asked to state the estimated number to be registered; the total number of applications received, and certificates issued up to Merch 15, They are also asked to give their opin- fon as to the probability of a general com- pliance with the law being effected before nated by the Commissioners of the District. This committee immediately organized and adopted as relief agencies the police depart- ment, the Associated Charities, the United Hebrew Charities, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, the Central Union Mission, the Young Men’s Christian Association (colored) and the Deaconess’ Home. A committee on distribution was appointed, and a central depot for the receipt and distribution of supplies was opeaed on the premises of the Central Union Mission, in the old post office building, a very accessible and suitable lo- cation. A committee of fifty citizens was appointed by the chairman of the central | relief committee, and charged with the work of soliciting contributions in money and in provisions, in accordance with a system re- ported by Mr. Theodore W. Noyes, as chair- man of the subcommittee on ways and! means. This canvassing committee divided the District of Columbia into thirty-three districts, with neighborhood subcommittees in each. These executive subcommittees were furnished with blanks, which were left at every house and called for by the can- vassers. The blanks have spaces for dona tions in money, in fuel, ani in provisions, and also for notes of cases of distress com- ing under the observation of the neighbor- hood canvassers. These memoranda are daily transmitted to the central relief com- mittee, and the contributions of supplies are collected by the committee, while those of money are sent through the treasurer of the canvassing committee to the treasurer of the central relief organization. In this way a very thorough knowledge of wants, as well as resources, is acquired, and im. posture is rendered difficult. Various minor expedients have been re- sorted to as parts of the system, rapidly devised to deal with an emergency. Among them was the issuing of meal tickets, at 10 cents each, of which 10,000 have been used up to date, distributed by citizens in- stead of alms in money. Unavailable for other use than a good meal, these tickets have diminished the nuisance of professional alms seeking. Donations of Supplies and Money. Of donations in supplies there have been distributed during the month of January one hundred large van loads, consisting of meat, vegetables, groceries, bread, meal and clothing of all sorts. Fuel orders have also been given against donations by dealers to the extent of one hundred tons of coal and an equivalent quantity of wood. In ad- dition to large deliveries through the nine police stations of the District of Columbia, the district offices of the Associatéd Char- ities and the minor central agencies, there have been sent for cases specially investi- gated by the central committee a very large number of smaller packages. Transporta- tion was provided free by the police patrol wagons, by the delivery vans of the leading merchants and by the local express com- panies, so that the entire expense of this branch of work, including the keeping of records, has been the pay of a clerk in charge and two heipers. The value of donations of supplies re- ceived and distributed exceeds $10,000, The money collections first available ‘for the committee consisted of an original fund of $10,000, which included $4,000 raised by a concert given by the Marine Band, sub- scriptions at the citizens’ meeting, the Washington Post fund and an unexpended balance of a similar fund of The Evening Star. The canvassing committee has turned in $12,000, The total value of the collection since Christmas up to the date of writing exceeds , and it is safe to say that contributions in money and in kind will ag- gregate $10,000, As there is a balance of over $5,000 yet available, it is believed that ie i Tempered Babies rable In any home.

The police of Washington have a very good system of investigating distress, af- fording quick relief and accounting for do- nations, under the direction of Maj. Moore, the superintendent, and Mr. Richard Syl- vester, the chief clerk and property clerk of the department. The Associated Charities and other distributing agencies have exer- cised similar precaution, and as all names of beneficiaries have been collected and each case has been kept in the hands of a single agency, duplication of charity has been rare, while the city has suffered much less than was anticipated from the nuisance of unworthy seekers for relief. During the month of January the relief orders given were: Through the police, 4,364; through the Associated Charities, 3,851; through oth- er agencies, about 1,100. Grand total, 9,315 orders. The Committees. The nature of the main organization for emergency relief work can best be indicated by a list of the principal offices of the tem- porary relief associations, as follows, the chairmen of the central and canvassing committees being ex-officio members of various subcommittees: Citizens’ meeting, December 19, Rev. Byron Sutherland, chairman; M. I. Weller, secretary. Central relief committee—John Tracey, chairman; James W. Somerville, secretary; Beriah Wilkins, treasurer. Committee on distribution — Lawrence Gardner, chairman; Miss Harriet B. Loring, | John F. Cook, L. 8. Emery. Committee on ways and means—Theodore W. Noyes, chairman; Simon Wolf, Beriah | Wilkins.

Baum, | J. Holdsworth Gordon. Hi It is just to say that the work done under | the direction of the central relief commit- tee has by no means measured the practical | benevolence of the District of Columbia during the season of acute distress, there | being no cessation or diminution of usual charitable effort through parish societies and many fraternities. THE NEW Picking Out Regime Magazine G Maj. Gen. Schofield has at last decided a question which has been agitating the in- fantry arm of the military service for many months past, namely, which of ihe rece | ments shall be first equipped with the new | Krag-Jorgenson magazine rifle. The firs’ installment of the weapons will be deliv. ered to the second infantry, Col. Bates, | commanding, now located at Omaha, Neb. and the second lot to the fourth infantry, Col. Hall, commanding, stationed at Fort Sherman, Idaho. For months the national armory at Springfield, Mass. has been working on the rifles, and che parts for nearly a thousand have been comple:ed and are now being assembled. The first issue is expected to be made this month, and after that the armory will be able to equip two regiments monthly, thus retiring ali of the old Springfields from army use in about one year from the date of the first issue. In view of the general demand fer the new rifies it has puzzled the War Depart- ment officials to arrange a scheme of distri- bution that would not subject them to the charge of favoritism, particularly as to the much coveted first issue. Finally it was de- cided that in view of the earnest labors of Cols. Bates and Hall of the board which selected the new weapon the trst issues might justly be made to their commands, — and as between the two Col. Bates came in| for first choice. It has been suggested that the further issues be based upon the records of the infantry regiments at target prac- tice, but no positive decision has been reached on this point. With the new rifles will go a supply of smokeless powder and ammunition. The substitution of this am- munition for the cartridges of the cld Springfield type will be accompanied by a decrease in the amount of ammunition issued to each soldier. The reason is found in the increased cost of the new cartridges. The law allows a soldier five dollars’ worth of ammunition for target practice each year. The first cost of the old cart-| ridge was considerably less than the cost of the new cartridge, with its expensive steel-clad bullet, and, in addition, it will not be possible for the soldiers to recharge shells, which they formerly did at siight expense. The ordnance officers, however, are constantly working at the problem ef reducing the cost of the new cartridze, aud in time may bring it down materially. —_—_—_+ e+ VERMONT'S UNIQUE LIQUOR CASE. O'Neil's Long Sentence Reduced to Two Months. The state supreme court met at the state house at Montpelier, Vt. yesterday, and rendered a decision in the case of the State vs. John O'Neil of Rutland. The court de- nied O'Neil’s petition for an arrest of judg- ment, and sentenced’him to a fine of $6,160 and two months in the house of correction. This is the most peculiar case ever before the Vermont courts, and it has been on trial for twelve years in one form or anoth- er. It has formed the basis for a popular play. O'Neil, a liquor dealer in Whitehall,N. Y., sent liquor to Rutland in jugs. He was ar- rested in 1882, convicted before Justice Wayne Bailey in Rutland for 457 offenses, and sentenced by Bailey to 28,836 days, or over seventy-nine years, in the house of correction. Defendant appealed to the county court, when he pleaded guilty of 307 offenses, re- ducing the penalty to about sixty years. He appealed to the supreme court, on the ground of excessive and unusual’ punish- ment, but the decision of the lower court was affirmed. The case was then taken to the United States Supreme Court on the plea that the Vermont prohibitory law was un. constitutional. That court decided that it had no jurisdiction, As a last resort, it was taken back to the state supreme court, on a motion to arrest judgment, and this is the result. ————__+0+ Examination of West Point Ca: dates, minations of candidates for admission to the West Point Military Academy be- ean at all the principal army posts today.

The interest-bearing debt in- creased $40,831,910; the non-interest-bear- ing debt increased $1,381,579.50. But the cash in the treasury increased $54,580,- 265.08 during the same time.

Tax on Rents Hinted at—Mrs. Briggs The regular monthly meeting of the East Washington Citizens’ Association was held last night at Baum’s Hall. President Babson made a general state- ment of the work done by the association, and presented an amendment to the con- stitution raising the initiation fee, which went over under the rules until the April meeting. President Babson stated that the @ssociation had under advisement the bill previding for a viaduct down Delaware avenue for the entrance of the B. and O. railroad into the city. The executive com- mittee had appointed Gen. William Lirney to represent the association on this subject before the congressional committee tomor- row (Friday). He desired to know if the association would approve its action. Upon motion, the action of the committee was unanimously approved. The attitude of the association, he stated, was that Congress has the right to make any change of route or to remove the railroad entirely, if found necessary. It was argued by the railroad that it had a vested right, but the associa- tion did not indorse this. Taxing Rents. Mr. M. I. Weller, from the committee on assessments, reported the progress of the pending bilis providing for a reassessment. The bill which received the approval of the board of trade was substantially different from that adopted by the association four years ago. The speaker created quite a stir by announcing that his committee was obtaining data and would shortiy present a resolution providing for a different system of collecting revenue from realty. He on! mated that the ‘tem his committee would recommend would be one taxing the in- come from rents, Another Resolution. Chairman Hallam, from the committee to draft proposed legislation, presented the following resolution on his own account: “That the growth of the population of Washington city since 1867 and the propor- tionate large increase of hindrance to travel and casualties to person and property on railroad routes in the city demonstrate the inadequacy of the present laws for the rotection of the inhabi:ants from such indrances and casualties. That we earn- estly call on Congress to enact effective laws requiring all railroad companies hav- ing such routes either to remove their ter- mini to points outside the city Mmits, or so to construct their tracks at inzersec. tions with streets, avenues, roads and ways as not to impede travel or transportation or endanger life and property. “That we renew our protest against total interruption of travel on North ‘cop itol street between C and D streets, caused by the B. and O. Railroad Company.” The resolution was approved and referred to Gen. Birney to use in connection with his argument before the committee tomor- row. A Street Report. Mr. F. A. Lehmann, chairman of the com- mittee on streets, avenues and alleys, sub- mitted the following interesting report, which was adopted: “The House appropriation bill has been | Printed and the appropriation for the im- provement of the streets and avenues of the District for the ensuing year is $100,000, as. against $200,000 for the present one. Wheth- er the Senate will increase this amount is extremely doubtful in view of the de- mand for retrenchment. Secretary Carlisle asked Congress not to allow the appro- priation for the District for the coming year to exceed that of the present one, and Congress has responded by cutting down this portion of the appropriation one- half. “Out of the $109,000, $40,590 is specifically Washington. A very set aside for East fair proportion of this, $21,500 is for North- east Washington, and $19,000 for South- east Washington. In the northeast, 15th street from East Capitol to E will be and graveled; C street from 12th to Ten- nessee avenue will be craded and regu- lated; 4th street from H to K will be paved, and all or portion of Massachusetts avenue between 2d and 4th will be paved. “In the southeast section, Sth street from East Capitol to North Carolina avenue will be paved; D street from 9th to Kent venue will be graded and regulated, an@ all, or a part of 12th street from Lincoln Park to Pennsylvania avenue will be graded and regulated. “Ap appropriation of $43,000 was asked for by the Commissioners to be made im- mediately available, and if passed by Con- gress, as we believe it will, $23,000 will be applied to grading and regulating Pennsyl- vania avenue extended in the southeast and M and 12th streets in the northeast. “In view of the small appropriations and the small number of streets that can be improved each year in consequence there- of we believe that it will be better for East Washington if no more streets are paved with asphalt unless in exceptional cases until all of the principal streets and avenues are graded and regulated so that free access can be had to every part.” The report was adopted. Liquor Licenses. Mrs. Briggs (Olivia), a member of th@ committee on police and charities, made a strong address in behalf of temperance. She stated that more drunkenness this winter had come under her observation than ever before. There was one way to cure it. She believed if the newspapers of the city would only publish the names of the signers to every application for a liquor license it would be productive of much good. She desired to make the pub- Heation of these names compulsory by the passage of a law. It was only proper, she argued, since the newspapers always print- ed a protest against the saloon. President Babson suggested that a re- port upon that subject be submitted to the association, and Mrs. Briggs promised to see that the report was forthcoming. There being no further business before the association the meeting adjourned. licen SENATORS PROTEST. = Before the Finance Com. ec in Opposition to Tart?

When the Senate adjourned members of the committee announced that they had made satisfactory progress in shaping the detatis of the bill, but that nothing had been finally determined upon. A large part of the time was consumed in listening to representation from the Senators who are dissatisfied with the Wil- son bill and with the action of the tariff subcommitice prior to the caucus. Senator Hill discussed New York's interests in the bill for more than an hour in the after- noon. Only Senators Jones and McPherson were present the greater part of the time that Mr. Hill was in the room. It is un- derstood that he went over a lange range of industries affected by the bill, and asked for changes in eve instance looking to increased protection. Senators Brice, Smith, and Caffrey were admitted in a body after Mr. ifill retired, and presented ar- guments, the two Louisiana Senators speak- ing for a sugar duty of 1 1-2 cents peund, and Messrs. Brice and Smith for @ variety of articles. In Behalf of the Armenians. Some time ago United States Minister Terrell at Constantinople notified the De- partment of State of the intention of the Turkish government to expel from their country ail Armenians who had renounced Turkish allegiance by naturalization or otherwise. Since then the department has been in communication with the Turkish government, through Minister Terrell, en- deavoring to mitigate at least the hard- ships of this expulsion. The report coming from Constantinople to the effect that @ special government commission is to be sent to Sivas in Turkey to inquire into abuses perpetrated on the Armenians is believed to be an evidence that the United States minister is taking steps to collect facts for presentation to the Ottoman ernment in support of his application for the exercise of leniency in driving the Armenians from their homes. —_-e- Constable A, Scott Jaminson, who wae indicted for perjury in connection with the Gravesend election affairs, will be put cn trial at Brooklyn ten days hence.
