Attorney General Olney and Acting Post- master General Jones held frequent com- munication today respecting the move- ments in the Pullman strike. Reports were jJate in arriving at the Post Office Depart- of the railway mai service telegraphed officials at various points for information. ‘The communications forwarded to the De- Partment of Justice called attention to the various laws and regulations governing in- terference with the mails, and contained @ata concerning many of the postal routes and lines. The tenor of the policy men- tioned was in line with that discussed in several conferences held during the past day or two between the two heads of de- partments, and instructions are to be issued @t once impressing upon the agents of the Department of Justice the importance cf immediately prosecuting all persons guilty ef obstructing the mails. The great strike has not been felt here. The trouble does not extend east of Pittsburg, and ratlroad officials here believe that the strike will not extend. Trains are arriving and leaving Washington on time, with Pullman sleepers. The ticket agents sre selling tickets to the west, and travel is fairly heavy. i A WONDERFUL RAILROAD. Interesting Details of the Line That ‘Traverses Siberia. An interesting report on the subject of the history and construction of the Great Siberian railway, by J. M. Crawford, United States consul general at St. Peters- burg, has been received at the State De- Partment. The total length of the railway from Cheliabinsk to Vladivostok Will be, when completed, 4,696 miles on the main ling alone. A table is presented giving the @stimated cost of the construction of the Toad. It is the intention, says the consul, to institute a number of auxiliary meas- ures in connectioa with the road, looking to the improvement of the economical con- ditions and the greater prosperity of Sibe- For exampie, to construct a branch line between the Siberian and the Ural railways in the interest of the Ural Metal- lurgical Works; to build river wharves and construct branch lines to them; to improve the Siberian rivers; to develop steam navi- gation on the river systems intersecting the road; to establish a route through the Northern. ocean to the mouth of the Obi and Yenisei; to assist colonization along the line; to encourage iron works to be @stablished in Siberia along the railway; to | equip and send out geological expeditions for studying the country, and to make ex- haustive researches in the Amoor tract. To carry o.t these auxiliary enterprises | during the time allotted for the completion of the first section 14,000,000 roubles have been set apart iequisite sums will alo be eppropriated for similar improvements in the districts of the other sections. These expenses will be very great and it is now impossible to give a reasonable estimate cf the outlay. All this is exclusive of the e timated of the railway. The total es- timated cost of construction is given at 85u, 810,482 roubles, or $175, 105,241. Mr. Crawford says that, owing to the de- velopment of the existing Kussian railways and to the construction of new lines, the de- mands for rails have greatly increased at all the rail roiuing mills of European Russia. Therefore the construction of new mills is Very desirable, especially in Siberia. Noni of the mills now existing in that country are able to turn out the necessary quantity of rails for a certain period. Therefore the Bropasition of the Bogoslovsk metallurgical @istrict to build a rail-rolling mill has been accepted, with the sanction of the czar, by the committee on the Siberian railway. a me DR. HAMMETT THEIR CHAMPION. Me Thinks’ the Wells Have Been Un- justly Slandered. ‘The wells of Washington have a friend at fourt, and Health Officer Hammett will do everything in his power to save them. This is what that official told a reporter ©f The Star this afternoon, who called upon hhim to learn something of his promised re- port upon this subject. “It is true,” said Dr. Hammett, “that 1| have not signed the report of the committee of which I am a member, appointed by the Medical Society of the District of Columbia to investigate the subject of typhoid fever | in the city. Since that report was made I have been investigating at great length the subject of our water supply, and while this investigation is not yet finished, 1 am per- svaded that the wells have been unjustly charged with being the nests of typhoid fever. The report which | am now prepar- ing will show the number of typhoid fever eases that have occurred in Washington for | some years past, and will give in a sep-| @rate column the location of the houses where the diseases were confined, together ‘with the water supply of those houses. “Thus far I have found that a great ma- Jority of the cases reported depended upon the Potomac for the drinking water. I am ia favor of giving the wells a fair show, and have no hesitancy in saying that I am trenuously opposed to the closing of wells until after they have been subjected te &@ careful bacteriological and chemical anal ysis. If, after this analysis has been mad the presence of the typhoid and colon bacil- is not found I believe in allowing the ‘wells to remain open. The citizens of Wash- fmgton have a perfect right to protest against the closing of the wells, and while some of them may be contaminated by rea- gon of rotten stocks of pumps and other causes, they should not all be aban- doned. It is not my purpose to reflect upon the committee appointed by the Medical and I shall give them a fair show @ my figures and deductions be- Society, to THEY ASK PERMISSION. Another Speaker Wants to Use the Capitol Steps. A venerable, white-haired individaal, giv- fng the name of R. S. Thain, and claiming to be the president of the People’s De- fensive Union, called at the White House this afternoon with a companion, and re- quested an audience with the President. They were met at the door by Capt. Wat- Kins, the chief usher, who questioned them about their business, and was informed that they desired the President to give Mr. Thain permission to deliver a patriotic | address from the steps of the Capitol on) Mr. Thain explained nm guaranteed the right | Of free speech, and showed by his conver-| sation that he thought this privilege ap- Dlied to all places, whether public or pri- Yate. One of the objects of the Defensive Union, he said, was to afford additional rotection to Presidents of ihe United States. Capt. Watkins informed the vis- ftors that the President was too busy to see them today, but that ff they left their cards the matter would be brougat to his attention, and they would be notified of hfs | action on Monday or Tuesday next.

THPOSING SCENES ON THE THAMES Completion of an Expensive Struc- ture, AN INTERESTING CEREMONY eee eget LONDON, June 30.—The great Tower bridge was formally opened today by the Prince of Wales in the name of the queen. ‘The Tower bridge ranks with some of the great engineering works of the age, and its magnificent proportions have quite altered the appearance of that dark and murky Part of the river near the tower, a part of the Thames known as the Pool, and usually filled with the smaller kind of ocean steam- ers engaged in the coasting and continental trades. It has cost nearly a million pounds sterling ($5,000,000), and its annual main- tenance will involve the expenditure of £6,000. The weather was blazing hot, and the scené was a magnificent one. of thou- sands of persons lined the route of the royal procession, and the streets were gaily deck- ed with flags and bunting. The ceremony took place at noon. On reaching the rorthern approach to the bridge the Prince of Wales and his house- hold were received by the lord mayor and the high civic officials, all in full robes, and were subsequently ‘conducted to their Places on the bridge. The ceremony of de- claring the bridge open was performed by the Prince of Wales, who, by means of an electric button, opened the enormous - cules, which have been built so as to allow the loftiest vessel to pass underneath. A flourish of trumpets, the thundering of guns from the tower, loud and enthusiastic cheering from the crowds and the tooting | of the whistles of the launches and steam- ers cn the river announced the completion of this work. The bishop of London, wearing his robes and hood, then pronounced the benediction, and the officials connected with the con- struction of the bridge we: received by request of the queen. Two steamers passed through the bridge amid great cheering. ‘The whole of the structure was magnifi- cently decorated with flowers and pal: and hung with flags and shields. The sum of £300 was expended by the corporation in giving a dinner to the people employed tn the construction of the bridge. Moreover, special rows of seats were pro- | vided for them. In honor of the event the lord mayor was made a baronet ard all the sheriffs have been knighted. oe THE VIGHLANT’S RACES, No Set Mat es Yet Arranged With the Valkyrte. LONDON, June 30.—The Field today says that so far no ret matches have been ar- nged between the Vigilant and the Val- | kyrie. Mr. George J. Gould is said to desire matches for the outside channel courses or over the Royal Victoria Yacht Club course. There is also some difficulty about the day, unless a regatta is given up tn order to ai ange a date. This Mr. Gould does not ire, as it is his intention to have the Vij lant compete in every regatta around the ecast. GLASGOW, June 30.—Capt. Hank Haft has telegraphed, gaying that it is impossible to get the Vigilant ready for next Tuesday. —_— IN THE HOUSE TODAY. Not Much iness Transacted by t Legislators. There was a very slim attendance of mem- bers present in the House today, and those who were on hand seemed very averse to transacting any business. Four or five bilis which were called up were objected to. . The committee on post offices and post roads controlled the morning hour, and Mr. Henderson (N.C.), the chairman of the com- | mittee, called up a bill to readjust the sal- aries and allowances of the postmasters at Guthrie, Kingfisher and Oklahoma City, but | before any action was taken the morning hour expired. Pension bills which had been favorably laid aside at the Friday night sessions were passed for the persons named —Celestia~P. Harrt, Mary Trimble, Mary Stahl, Sarah Oddy, G. O. Grenier, Martha A.

BOW THE EVENING s1 SLIGHTLY COOLER TODAY The Thermometer Did Not Rud Quite 80 High. | Still It Was Uncomfortably Extent of the Recent Hot Spell Warm— of Weather. While the general temperature was not as aspiring today as it was yesterday, and a strong breeze tempered the air to a con- | siderable degree, the wilted shirt collars of man and the moist places on the shirt waist of lovely woman, in the neighbor- hood of her shoulder biades, showed that the humidity was getting its licks in with great vigor. Humidity is that damp con- dition of the atmosphere that makes the perspiration run out of a person's pores like the hot room of a Turkish bath, and drives the weaker sex to dlaphanous drap- ery, palm ieaf fans and couches, and the Stronger sex to rum punches and similar | desperate resources. There was lots of it around today, and if a census of pocket handkerchiefs had been taken at 2 o'clock a dry one wouldn’t have been discovered in the District. Up at the weather bureau there was a tendency on the part of the officials to call in the early edition of dog days and give 3S national capital a more bearable va- tariff bill to the Senate something to do with this change of base on the part of Prof. Harrington and his | Associates, but this idea could not be sub- | stantiated because the weather wise men | Were as dumb as oysters about it. All they would say was that there would be, prob- ably, showers this evening, followed by fair weather, while the indications were that cooler weather would follow. The Hot Spell. This afternoon Prof. Harrington issued a bulletin on the subject of the extreme hot weather. “The period of extremely hot weather that has prevailed over nearly the whole of es during the past ten days said the report, “has been accompanied at a rumber of stations by maximum temperatures equal to or in ex- cess of any of which the weather bureau has record for the same season of the year. The stations where the record has been thus equaled dre Memphis, Knoxville, To- ledo and Des Moines.and those wheré it has been exceeded are Philadelphia, Baltimore, | Lynchburg, Pensacola, Little Rock, San | Antonio, Chattanooga, Parkersburg, Roch- | ester, Erie, Saulte de Ste. Marie, Wichita and Concordia, Kan., and Tueson, Arizona. “On Friday, the 28th, maximum tempera. , tures of 100 degrees uccurred at Montgom jery, Little Rock and Wichita, Kan., and | 104 degrees at Tucson and Yuma, Ariz. | Temperatures of 9) degrees and over oc- | curred at sixty-one stations east of the Rocky mountains, or about 65 per cent of the whole number. “At Eastport, Portland and Roston the maximum temperatures were 56, 38 and 64 degrees, respectively, and at antucket, Block .sland and Atlantic City 74, 70 and 74 degrees, respectively, these low tempera- tures being due to the southeast winds pre- vailing at these stations. At Washington during June the maximum temperature days, and 9 degrees or above on ten days. The highest temperature was 97.5 degrees, on the 24th. The highest recorded during the summer of 1892 was 97.2, on July ‘Mt. Although the latter part of the month has been extremely warm, the mean tempera- ture for the whole month will be only about 4 degrees above the average, the first ten |days having been considerably. cooler tn usual. One of the coolest days on record for this season of the year, with a mini- mum temperature of 46.2 degrees, o¢curred on the 6th. In connection with the high temperature, the month at Washington has also been an unusually dry 9ne, only about an inch and a quarter of rain having fallen, or one-fourth of the tsual ‘amount for June.” A Three O'Clock Closing, Owing to the hot weather the ‘Treasury, State, War and Navy Department.and the Anterlor Department closed at ¥ o'clock today. It is understood that they will close at 8 o'clock during the summer. CHANCES FOR A CANAL. Excellent Prospects for the Passage of the Nicaragua Bill. Reports that a French company has been organized to complete the Panama canal did not arouse great interest among the members of the House interested Inthe Nicaragua canal. Representative Mallory, who drew the House bill, does not con- sider the Panama scheme a menace to our interests in Nicaragua, but says that its revival emphasizes the need for prompt action by Congress on the Nicaragua bill. The prospects for an agreement’ on’ this Measure are good, since it is repdrted on ood authority that Senator Morgan, the author of the Senate bill, has exptessed his approval of the House substitute, and his willingness to accept it. Therefore, what- ever opposition to the measure develops will probably be made on the floor cf the House and Senate rather than in commit- tee. No Government Ownership. An impression, which seems Yo have artsen in some quarters, that the present plan in- volves government ownership, is not correct. Th¢ government is to recetve $70,00U,0W0 in stock of the Maritime Company in return for its guaranty of bonds according to the provisions of the bill, and eight of the eleven directors are to be appoliited by the President. Practically this is government control, without government, ownership. ‘The concessions obtained by the Maritime Company from Nicaragua and Costa Rica contemplate that governments may become holders of stock. ‘he late Secretary of State James G. Blaine held that the Clayton+ Bulwer treaty did not stand in the -way of ownership of an isthmus canal by ‘this gov- ernment. $ View of the Administration, A different view is held by this adminis- tration. It has been known that Secretary Gresham thought the treaty stood in the way of government ownership of the Nicar- agua canal, and he has recently said to members of the committee on commerce that President Cleveland holds the same opinion. Aepresentative Doolittle of Washington, who is enthusiastic in favor (a Nicaragua canal, is inclined @o think that reports of French activity are started by opponents of the American project. = t CARNOT MEMORIAL SERVICE. Program of the Music at St. Matthew's Church Tomorrow. ? At the request of Ambassador Patenotre the Secretary of State has sent invitations to attend the Carnot memorial services at St. Matthew’s Church, Sunday, to a large number of government officials, including the President and his cabinet, both houses of Congress and the justices of the Su- preme Court. Cardinal Gibbons will be un- able to officiate at the services, and Father Lee, the pastor of St. Matthew’s Church, will conduct them. As is customary in funeral services, peo- ple are expected to keep their seats until the family pass out of the church.

Pacific Railro: Indebtedness. The House committee on Pacific railroads again considered the funding bill today without reaching any result. Next Satur- day a hearing will be given, at the request of Representative Blair of New Hampshire, to representatives of the Sioux City an® Pacific road, which has a debt to the gov- ernment of about $3,000,000. Its bonds for $1,600,000 are guaranteed by the govern- ment, it having been built as a part cf the Pacific system, and the government has paid the interest on it. Its debt Is in the same condition as those of the Central and Union Pacific, maturing at the same time. There fs a first mortgage for $1,000,000, so that the government claim, as in the case of the other roads, is but a second lien, while the first lien nearly equals the value of the property. A separate bill will be recommended by the committee to settle this road's indebtedness. Rivers @ Harbors. Senators Perkins and White and Repre- | sentative English were before the Senate committee on commerce today to advocate increases in the river and harbor improve- ment appropriations, and succeeded to the | extent of getting the appropriation for the Sacramento and Feather rivers increased from $90,000 to $125,000; for Oakland harbor, ftom $30,000 to $100,000; for San Diego har- bor, from $40,000 to $50,000, and for San Luis Obispo harbor, from $30,000 to $40,v00. ‘The appropriations for Sinslaw river, Ore- | gon Was increased frown $20,000 to $25,000; | that for Tillarnook bay,Oregon, from $13,500 to $16,000, and that for the ship canal of | Galveston harbor, Texas, from $40,000 to Black Declared Elected. The House, yesterday afternoon, settled | the contested election case of Watson vs. | Black of the tenth Georgia district by de-| claring Black elected. The populist mem- bers, under Representative Pence, made a determined filibuster against the case, which consumed the entire day before it could be ended. More Money for Life Savers. Senator Dixon has given notice of an amendment to the sundry civil appropria- tion biil, which provides for the employment of crews of surfmen employed at the life saving and lifeboat stations on the Atlantic and gulf coasts from August 1 to May 81, and increases appropriation for this ser- vice from $1,080,000 to $1,249,000 Commerce Bills to Be Considered. The House committee on interstate and fcreign commerce has decided that when the committee secures time under the morn. ing hour these measures will be called up| in their order: Representative Mallory’s bill | to promote the efficiency of the revenu cutter service by retirement of aged office: Representative Cogewell's bill to organize | the life saving service; Representative Tal- bot's bill for the appointment of salaried inspectors of hulls and of boilers in districts, and Representative Caruth’s bill to extend to the life saving crews the bene- fits of marine hospitals. The pooling bill is too important a meas- ure to be taken up in the morning hour and will be given one or more special days. To Improve Tribal Lands. Representative McRae of Arkansas has in- troduced @ bill to confirm leases or con- tracts for the improvement of agricultural jands between Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians and citizens of the United States, with the provision that no contracts shall extend more than ten years beyond the, passage of the act, Revolutionary Archives.

'AR, SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1894-TWENTY PAGES THEY ARE INDIGNANT Japanese Residents Olaim They Should Be Allowed Citizenship. The Recent Legal Decision Stirs Up Feeling—Law-Abiding and Prosperous. The Japanese residents of this country are indignant at the recent ruling of Judge Coit of the United States circuit court in Boston in the case of Chebaito Sato that they as well as the Chinese ate debarred from citizenship in the United States. Al- though the Japanese ministet and the mem- bers of the legation in this city wisely | maintain a diplomatic reticence on the subject, there is no reason to doubt that their sentiments are expressed in a recent statement made by Mr. N. Hashiguehi, the Japanese consul general at New York, with Teupeot to Judge Colt’s decision. He is quoted as follows: “Such discrimination agains? us is hot fair. We are not bremagp, by eed means, or anything like them. We do no! come here to hoard money to go back home and live on it. On the contrary, we live here and consider this country our home. There are probably not more than 5,00 of us here, and you never see us in the police courts as disorderly characters. Our peo- ple here are merchants, clerks and the bet. ter class of servants. Why of the 300 Japanese in this vicinity, 100 or more are employed at the Brookiyn navy yard. Ente discrimination seems unfair, as we enter into the higher aims of life here much more than the majority of foreigners. We have our merchants here, our Kiodalewan, or Japanese Club, at 227 West 25th street, and our people try to mingle and become American as much as possible.” Y. Murai, manager for Morimura Brothers of New York, said his firm been estab- lished in this country more than twenty years, and had employed almost exclusively native born Americans, to whom they paid good salaries, and he thought it an outrage that he and his firm were not the equal to their employes. Y¥. Wovoyens, the head of the Kan Sai Trading Company of New York, said: “How does the colored man come of our people? Are we not whiter than he, and equaily intelligent? I know of natural- ized Japanese in this state, among them G. Miyamoto of Saratoga Springs and Takeda of Rochester.” “I and my partner are both Christians,” said Samro oki of New York, “as are most of the Japanese here, and we con- sider ourselves as good as most people. Our home is here, and here we intend to stay, whether naturalized or not.” —— ADMITTED TO THE BAR. Results of the Examinations at the Court House.

IN GOOD CONDITION. Judge McComas’ Remarks to the Jury on Discharging Them. In discharging the jury for the term in Criminal Court No. 2 this afternoon Judge McComas remarked that not for twenty- five years had the criminal business of the Supreme Court of the District been in so satisfactory a condition. There was but one indicted prisorer in jail, explained Judge McComas, awaiting trial, and that was a case of homicide, which could not now be conveniently tried. Therefore, so far as the jail cases were concerned the docket was a perfectly cleared up one. The cases on bail, said the court, were very few, and he understood that the grand jury had ractically closed up its business. Judge ‘cComas said such a condition of affairs ‘was a matter of great gratification to the court and would be, he felt sure, to the peo- ple of the District. He thereupon dis. charged the jury for the term, assuring them that they had performed their duties in a most commendable Manner. ——— Eleanor H. James’ Will. The will of the late Eleanor H.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK,June 30.—The railroad strike tions for leaving town over next week's holiday and no London market were fac- | tors that all but suspended speculation this | morning. As it was, the two hours’ session | established the year's record for dullness | and left prices generally !ess than 3-S per | cent removed from initial figures. There | 1s no improvement likely until both the strike and the tariff are settled, but the Strength cf the market under present con- ditions is decidedly encouraging to’ the bulls. The limited supply of speculative intelll- | gence received during the week has favored the bears, but a comparison of the net re- sults of the week's business shows no im- | portant curtailment of values. The bears have been unable to force any Mquidation | of long holdings, and heve not had the courage to increase the present short in- | terest in view of the limited supply of float- | ing stock available for the purpose of mak- | ing deliveries. The bulls, on the other hand, | are confideat and hupeful, but have not the necessary material to warrant an ageres- sive campaign in the interest of improved values. Their arguments are based on fu- ture contingencies, that must happen or be reduced to a certainty before attracting the indispensable co-operation of the non-pro- | feesional element. With ail the desired elements added it is | ly probable that either improvement or | Sotivita ustained at this season jor the year. The practical applicrtion of the new tive provisions will be neces. sary to a fair estimate of their value, and | this, of course, can hardly be accomplished | before fall, so that until then a series of rallies and reactions within narrow limits ig the most to be reasonably expected. The industrial stocks will probably prove an exception to the general list and will immediately reflect the new tariff provisions | in their daily quotations. While the rail- | roads are struggling against an unfair com- parison of earnings, owing to last year's heavy world’s fair traffic at this Season, the unhampered industrials, in the hands of | shrewd manipulators, will yield handsome |of this latter fact will naturally deteact | from the volume of business in the more | conservative securities of the railroads. |, Tae probable reduction of dividends will be used by the bears to depress prices at every opportunity, but it is not likely that short sales based on such a belief will yield yery handsome profits in the immediate future. The banks have lost $1,626,000 in lawful money, all in specie, during the week, the tenders having been unusually large. The best feature of the weekly statement is an increase of over $1,750,000 in loans. e fallen off from last week, the Increase in loans being more than offset by the loss in cash. The net result is a decrease of over $1,500,000 in the su: I The statement, —————__ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

The parties indicted were Ei- verton R. Chapman and John W. Macart- ney. Both are brokers, Mr. be- ing a member of the arm of the New York firm of Aloore & Schley, and slr.

The Other Indictments. District Attorney Birney stated to a Star reporter that there would be no further in- | profits to the well informed. The kn«viede | dictments returned in the matter of the al- | léged contumacious witnesses before the Senate investigating committee until some time next week. It was thought shat the remaining indictments would be uresented, but it is understood that they could not be j Prepared in time. Mr. Birney said that they might be returned on Monday,aithough he thought it would be a day or two leter before they would be ready. Mr. Birney also intimated that indictments would be | presented against all the parties who had | been certified to him by Vice President Stevenson. Mr. John W.
