Gaturday eventugs Little Hope of Success in a Naval Re- tirement Scheme. The plan by which Commodores Joseph Fyffe and Henry Erben were to reach the grade of rear admiral before thelr retire- ment for age has apparently fallen through. Commodore Fyffe will retire in July and Commodore ben in September next. There is no prospect whatever at present of a vacancy in tie list of rear admirals that would insure their promotion in the regular way before the date set for their retirement. Rear Admiral Bancroft Gherardi, the rank- ing officer of the navy, will retire in Decem- ber next. That will be too late, however, to beneit either uf the officers named. Com- modore ©. F. Stanton ranks next after Commodore Fyffe, and the retirement of the latter in July will put him at the head of his grade, one above Commodore Erben, who will also retire before he does. Two plans were suggested in the interest of Commodores Fytfe and Erben. but both seem to have been abandoned. One includ- ed the immediate retirement of Admirals Gherardi and Greer on their own applica- tion under the forty years’ service clause. ‘This plan feli through, because Admiral Greer, who will be the senior officer of the nm Admirai Gherardi’s retirement, re- 1 to be a party to it. The other plan emplated a sacrifice on the part of 1 Gherardi and Commodore Stanton. status is not clear. According Gherardi was to retire at id insure the promotion of Commodore Fyffe to the grade of admiral. He would be retired by law in July and Commodore Stanton would become an ad- miral. He was also to be retired im- rediately on his own application, and then Commodore en would be promoted to the desired je in advance of his re- tirement in September. It is a very in- genious plan to help the two officers on the verge of retirement, and might easily be carried into effect. if all the parties to it were willing. But, as already stated, there is a cog loose somewhere. Admiral Gherarul is unwilling to hasten his own re- tirement, unless he is absolutely certain that it will accomplish the promotion of his friend, Commedore Erben. As already shown, however, that object can only be attained by the voluntary retirement of two admirals on the active list or of one admiral and Commodore Stanton. It is agreed on all sides that the last-named officer has everything to lose and nothin; to gain by the proposed arrangement | “| GEN. HEWSTON HELD He Ran His Umbrella in Another | Man's Eye. ee JOSPLED HIM IN A LONDON STREET Policy .of the Dupuy Ministry Enunciated. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS LONDON, May 31.—At Clerkenwell police court today the Amcrican who gave his neme as Gen. John Hewston, who is charged with causing the death of George Burton, an itinerant musician, by thrusting the point of his umbrella into the latter's left eye, after the general had been jostled in Gray's Inn road yesterday, was remanded on bail for a week. Gen. Hewston, who is about sixty-nine years of age, described himself as a chem- ist. He was charged with manslaughter in causing the death of Burton. By direction of the United States consulate the general Was defended by Solicitur Ricketts. Benjamin Bowring, an employe of the vestry, testified that at 4:15 p. m. yesterday he saw three street musicians carrying a harp, a tin whistle and a campstool cross Acton street, Gray's Inn road. Gen, Hews- ton was walking on the opposite side of the Street, As the musicians passed the general the harp caught in the latter's arm. Gen. Hewsion thereupon pushed the man who Was carrying the harp and the musician protested. Gen. Hewston replied, “You hit me on the arm,” and according to the wit- ness, the general added, holding up his um- brella, “1 will poke your eye with this.” Bowring said that the man carrying the | campstoos thereupon interposed, saying: “Well, do it.’ The general, added the witness, then thrust his umbrella into the eye of the musician who had the campstool in his hands and walked away. The witness fol- lowed and stopped him. Shortly atterward the police arrived and took the general into | custody. On cross-examination the witness said the man carrying the camp stool had not threat- ened the general. David Pether and Sebastian George, the two other musicians, corroborated the for- mer witness and Henry Atkinson, a surgeon ot the Royal Free Hospital, where Burton | died, testified that the umbrella penetrated | the man's brain. Directly the eye was removed, the wit- ness added, Burton died. The latter's left arm and leg were paralyzed owing to the injury to his brain. Solicitor Ricketts, in applying for bail on bebalf of General Hewston, said that no- vody regretted the unfortunate occurrence more than the prisoner, who, Mr. Ricketts | added, was well-known in the United States, | and who for fourteen years had been in| charge of the National Guard of California. ‘the United States consul in London ind the United States consul at Bristol, contiz ued Mr, Ricketts, were both willing to be- come sureties for the appearance of Gen- eral Hewston. ‘The magistrate then remanded the general | and accepted bail to the amount of $1,000 from each of the two United States officials mentioned, who were both present in court. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 31.—Gen. John Hewston, the Californian accused of having killed one of a gang of musicians in London, 1s one of the best known of the old Californians. He came to San Francisco im 1I8# and established an assaying bi ness, in which he was soon prominent. the stirring In “vigilantes days’ he was an active factor, being a noted athlete and a man of bravery. In pursuing his vocation he established the San Francisco Metal- urgical and Refining Company, and had as his partners at the time Wm. Alvord and Thomas Brown, Wakalo, the wealthy drug- gist, and persons of similar note. He ac- cumulated a fortune in mining operations and then lost the greater part of It. Upon | the loss of his fortune he retired to his | ranch in Alameda county, and since then he | has led the quiet life of a herdsman. | A few months ago he made a trip into | the Death Valley country to look into some mining property, and then went to London to engineer negotiations for the sale of the mine. In San Francisco it ts felt certain that he must have been hard pressed before he made any attack on those assaulting him. REVOLUTION NOT NEEDED. The Conservative Policy of the Dupuy Ministry. PARIS, May 31.—The declaration of policy of the new Dupuy ministry was read today | in both chambers. It says that the mints- ters have accepted office from a sense of duty as patriots and ropubiicans, adding: “We hope you will assist us in dealing with the troubles in the midst of whica we have assumed office. We are determined to resolutely preserve public order and to al-| ways secure a strict observance of the laws of the republic. “We shall give the closest attention to the | questions of old-age pensions and the prac- | tical conclusions of the committees upon | this subject will prove that the republic does not need to become revolutionary in order to improve the lot of the working classes.” “The chief object of legislation, however, | will be the financial problem, as the fiscal | reforms which are demanded urgeatly by | the country cannot be postponed. In our opinion, the fiscal are the leading social re- forms. Republicans may differ respecting the methods, but not vespecting the end to be attained, and we count upon the hearty co-operation in this heavy task of all chose who have faith in the work of the French revolution and in the destiny of popular government. “In regard to foreign policy we have it at heart to maintain the continulty of | views and relations which, in epite of politi- | cal rivalries, have enabled France to re- sume a place among the nations worthy of her name and history. “Strong in your support and imbued, like you, witk national sentiment, we shall al- ways be the watchful guardians of the in- terests of France and the vigorous defend- ers of her rights. (Cheers.) ‘We shall also devote our efforts to as- sist the husbandry, especially the vine- growers,whose grievances have elicited uni- versal sympathy. ‘The government has a great task before it and we shall best satisfy the wishes of the country by resuming the normal course of deliberation.” LONDON, May 31.—The correspondent of Times at Paris says that the new cabinet is styled youthful, M. Dupuy being only forty-two years old; M. Delcasse, forty-one | years old; M. Honotaux, forty; M. Ley-| gues, thirty-seven; M.Poincare, thirty-three, and M. Barthou, thirty-two. It contains, however, a number of good speakers, and the members are all animated by the best} intentions. The combination is quite as re- | essuring as was the cabinet of Casimir- Perier. VIGILANT > VALKYRIE, One Reaches Glaszow and the Other Sails for There.

LONDON, May 31.—The Times regards It as next to impossible that the Vigilant can be got ready in time to take part in the Clyde regattas, which close at the middle of July. The Irish yacht meetings at Belfast and Kingstown follow the events in the Clyde, and the sailing courses at either of these places are likely to be more satis- factory than the Clyde course. Capt. Diaper of Southampton, who acted as pilot for the Navahoe in her races last year, has been retained in the same capacity for the Vig- lant. The committee of the Royal Victoria Club has decided to adhere to the conditions governing cup matches—that challenges must be received eight months before the annval regatta. It Is a matter for regret, therefore, that there will be no gold cup races In 1804, but the Vigilant will find plenty of sport without them. NEW YORK, May 31.—The yacht Vigilant sailed today for Glasgow. She was escorted down the bay by the steam yacht Vamoose. Maxim W Duplicate Dowe’s Cont. LONDON, May 31.—Hiram Maxim writes to the Times that he has invented in six hours a cuirass of half the thickness of and much lighter in weight than that of Herr Dowe, which will stand the same tests that Dowe's coat will. He says he will give an exhibition of his invention at the Erith Gun Works on Friday. he is willing to sell the secret to the govern- men for two dollars and the cost of the materials, all of which can be obtained in the village of Erith. Situation at Buenos Ayres. LONDON, May 31.—The Times correspon- dent at Buenos Ayres telegraphs as fol- lows: Gen. Roca assures me that the re- ports of the impending suspension of the interest on the foreign debt are -vithout foundation. He says that with a view of relieving the market the government is seeking a loan of a millign pounds in Europe to cover payments abroad during the next six months. Asking for Government Ald.

LONDON, May 31.—Thomas Feeney of Brooklyn, N.Y., who is wanted by the police of that city on the charge of felony, and who was recently arrested at Queenstown, with $250 in his possession, was brought up today at Bow street police court and re- manded, pending the arrival of extradition papers, For Libeling the Chancellor. BERLIN, May 31--The provincial court today condemned Baron Von Thuengin to Pay a fine of 300 marks for libeling Chan- cellor Von Caprivi. The same court sen- tenced Herr Overlander, editor of the Volks Zeitung, to pay a fine of 250 marks upon conviction of the same offense. For the Farming Interests. LONDON, May 31.—A dispatch to the Times from Berlin says: The upper house of the Prussian diet has adopted the bill to establish agricultural chambers as it passed the lower house.

THE GENERAL SESSIONS PROGRAM A Paper to Be Read by Surgeon General Sternberg. THE SUBJECT OF SEWER GAS —— -+—___ The sessions of the congress of American physicians and surgeons were continued to- day and the various meetings of the smail- er organizations that compose the congress were all well attended. There have regis- tered at headquarters upward of four hun- dred members from all over the country, and the present congress is generally re- garded as the most successful in the history of the association. All of the fourteen societies met in their respective halls this morning and spent sev- eral hours in the reading of important and valuable papers on subjects of special in- terest to their members. This afternoon the general meeting of the congress at Metzerott Hall was under the direction of two of the leading societies, the American Association of Genito-Urinary Surgeons and the American Gynecological Society. This Afternoon’s Program. The program for the afternoon is as fol- lows: From 2 to 3:30 p, m.—General session un- der the direction of the American Associa- tion of Genito-Urinary Surgeons. Subject, “Nephritis in its Surgical Aspects,” opened with a paper by Dr. Edward L. Keyes of New York city; “The Ba-teriology of Ne- phritis," by Dr. George M. Sternberg, sur- geon general of the United States army; apiece by Dr. George Chismore of San rancisco, Cal., Dr. L. Bolton Bangs, pro- fessor of genito-urinary and venereal sur- gery in the New York Post Graduate Med- ical School and Hospital, and Dr. Francis 8. Watson, instructor in genito-urinary dis- eases in Harvard Medical School. From 3°30 to 3 p. m.—General session un- der the direct: of the American Gyneco- logical Society. Subject, * Surgery of the Female Pelvic Organs. Papers will be read by Dr. Wm. M. Polk, professor of obstetrics and the diseases of women and children in the University of the City of New York, and Dr. William Goodell, honorary professor of gynecology in the University of Pennsylvania. The Subject of Sewer Gan Yesterday afternoon's session proved to be the one of most interest to the general public. The principal subject for discus- sion was “Sewer Gas." The discussion was opened with a paper by Dr. Alexander C. Abbott of the Jaboratory of hygiene, Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, on “Chemical, physical and bacteriological studies upon air over decomposing substances, with recial reference to their application to the air of sewers.” “The effect of sewer gas in the production of disease,” was the subject of an exhaustive and able paper by Dr. Abraham Jacobi, professor of diseases of children in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York. Dr. Jacobi is an ac- knowledged expert on the subject, and bis remarks were listened to with the closest attention. Dr. Jacobi took the ground tha’ children, whose respiratory apparatus w: only two or three feet above the surface of | the ground, undoubtedly would breathe in more microbes than grown men.

Still, he did not discredit the dan- ger of bad drainage or defective pipes, and gave mary cases which furnished positive proof that sickness was due to lack of Proper sanitation, especially as | Sewerage. Direct cesspool poisoning is the most dangerous thing to be guarded against. The ventilation of sewers along their route also was considered a matter of danger. Ds.

Nevins Hyde, professor of skin and venereal diseases in Rush Medical College. According to this authority, it is | estimated that the total number now alive | in this country is between ninety and one hundred and fifty. “These figures,” said Dr. Hyde. “are to be reviewed neither with hysterical alarm nor with careless indifference. They call for | intelligent discussion and for a wise pro- vision, alike for the needs of the unfortun- ate leper and for the safety of the com- munity in which the infected are now liv- ing. ‘There are greater problems presented to the physicians of America than those growing out of these interesting statistics, | Tuberculosis alone exposes at present, to a greater danger than lepra, the health of | our population.” | Dr. James C.

The Banquet Last Night. ‘The banquet room of the Arlington was a dream of beauty last evening for the ban- quet given in honor of the congress. More than four hundred people sat down at the magnificently decorated tables and the event as a whole was one of the most elaborate ever seen in this city. It took twenty-five tables to accommodate the guests and the display of palms and flow- ers was something to be remembered. The only formal toast of the evening was ‘he old, old army.” This was responded jto by Gen. -Wheeler of Alabama, who made an address that was at the same | Ume eloquent and witty, and his references to the army surgeons as he had known them thirty yeas ago were full of fun for the Hstening doctors. Dr. Alfred 1. Loomis, the president of the congress, pre- | sided at the banquet and called for a num- ber of Informal speeches. Among those who spoke were Dr, Mingston of Mon- treal, Do. John 8, Billings, the first president of the cong:ess, Dr. Pope, and Dr. Landon Carter Gray of New York, chairman of the executive committee of the congress. Dr. Mastin of Alabama, who originated the idea of a medical congress, | spoke at some length of the progress of the organization and of the many edvantages which have accrued to the profession through the b-order acquaintance with men from all parts of the United States and the acquisition of new ideas.

Written for The Evening Star. The present agitation concerning the location of ihe government printing house | brings very plainly to view the need of a | new policy to be adopted by the government | in the matter of the location of public of the national capital. That Washington is the handsome city that it is is all owing to the far-seeing sagacity of two men, Washington and his civil engineer, L'En- fant. Had it not been for the plan adopted by them and adhered to afterward by suc- cessive Congresses the fate of the city would have been left to the haphazard tastes and purposes of dealers in corner lots. Everything would have been sold “for 4@ price,” and every holder of land would have divided and shaped and used it so as to best promote his private ends. What those two men did a ccatury ago let not the unwisdom of any, least of all, of our national! legisiators, now unde. Rather let the government adopt the same policy with regard to locating and designing the gov- ernment buildings which Washington laid down with regard to the streets and squares; that is, let tmis all be comprised in a con- sistent and far-seeing pian, which shall so place the public buildings that they shall be constantly forming a symmetrical and tm- posing whole, as beautiful and as impres- sive as that of the recent ideal and yet real structure of pure art at Chicago. ‘the beauty and grandeur of the white city of the world’s fair was not a thing of accident, any more than Washington's present streets and squares are. It was an artistic conception, And if Washington grows to be the city of grandeur, dignity and supefior architectural beauty that it ought to be, it will not be by accident nor by piece legislation, but by the wise adop- tion by Congress of an artistic and nobie architectural pian, formed by a proper com- mission or bureau, to be had constantly in view, not only in the location of the public buildings, but In the style of their arcnitec- ture. if the government is to spend a large sum of money on any building worthy of a place in this capital city that building should be architecturally so handsome as to deserve a place where it can be seen by all, and not hidden away in some obscure corner of @ park, while our most con- Spicuous avenue is given up to inferior shops. The manifest destiny of Pennsylvaniv avenue ts that of a grand national™ thor- oughtare, lined on either sid2 with a con- tinuous row of government palaces devoted to the various departments and bureaus, and the sooner Congress adopts this plaa and ceases to threaten either to absorb the park reservations or to hide {ts build- ings away in obscure because cheap places the sooner the nation’s capital will begin to assume architecturally that distinguished place among the world’s great capitals, which, for the want of such concerted plan. it has so failed thus far to attain. For, | while the departinent buildings are for the | most part noble siructures, they are lost amid commonplace surroundings, and we have not a single continuous street nor | square which shows a handsome or digni. fed architectural ensemvie. lt js in the power of Congress always to help this, and especially now would be the tit time to begin, and the place, the Capitol cna of | the avenue, say, between si und “id streets, | on the north side, or between 3d and 4 1-2) streets, on the south side. Place here the new government printing butlding, and in- stead of building a deey quadrangle build | a continuous street block or couple of blocks, if necessary, with a handsome fa- cade, including a broad Colonnade or shaded walk to be continued along the avenue, — like that of the Rue Rivoli in aris. The idea has been broached that the government printing house must necessarily be so ugly a building as to deserve only to be put out of signt somewhere. There could be nothing more absurd than such a notion. A cjvilized government, with archi- tectural and skill at its command, is not to be pardoned if it erects an ugly bullding anywhere, and there ts certainly no reason why the building to be devoted to the noble art of printing, the glory of our age, and a building key to be the largest printing estabiishment in the world, should | not be a structure of commanding beauty and dignity. If one would see an example of a printing house, whose business was not thought by its builders to be foreign to all that is bewutiful, let him look at the New York Herald bullding in New York, at the intersection of Broadway and Sixth avenue, a veritable Venetian palace set | | | | | i down in the midst of the crowded und busy | elty, with {ts delicate tracery and marble mosaics as fine as if for a palace for roy- alty. There is not the slightest doubt but that the ecvernment will appropriate money enough to build a building, such as, in the proper hands, may be made a delight to look upon, as well as to serve all its most practical uses. | No government building even “for a print- | —————————— fure Acream Of tartar baking pow- der.
