MANASSAS, Va., October 30, 1894. There were republican and democratic meetings here last night. The latter was held in Hixon’s Hall, to which the speakers were escorted by a brass band and a big crowd. The first speaker was J. P. Jef- fries, who was introduced by Maj. Taylor. He made a forcible address, attacking the system of protection and declaring that the more it was pulled down the greater would be the prospesity of the farming and business communities. He spoke for an hour and created much enthusiasm. In response to repeated calls Congress- man Meredith took the platform and in- dulged in a plain talk to his fellow towns- men. He said he was a democrat from principle and not for gain and hoped to win the fight by an appeal to men's reason and not their passions. He strongly at- tacked the republican party and upheld the income tax, instancing numerous cases in which it caused the overwealthy to pay taxes proportionate to the benefits they re- ceived from the government. Manassas is Mr. Meredith's home and the high esteem in which he is held here was evidenced by the cordial manner in which he was greet- ed last night. At the conclusion of his remarks short talks were given by Judge Nicol, Geo. C. Round, J. R. Purcell and J. ByT. Thornton. Mr. Meredith's hard campaign 1s telling on him and he is so hoarse he can scarcely speak above a whisper. Mr. McCaul Favors Protection. At the same time the democrats were speaking in the interest of free trade Mr. P. H. McCaul, the republican nominee, was in Blossom’'s Hall, three blocks away, de- claring that in protection, as embodied in the McKinley law, was the only hope of the nation, “Under a former democratic ad- ministration,” he exclaimed, “It took a pound of yellow butter to buy a pound of nails. Thirty years of republican rule and @ pint of skim-milk will buy a pound of nails now.” “This suit of clothes,” he said, “is Charlottesville gray, made in Virginia, of Virginia wool, by Virginia labor, under Virginia direction and enterprise, and paid for by Pat McCaul’s $20, which remaining in the state, passes from hand to hand, and in a week will pay $1,000 of indebtedness, Now, if our democratic friends want to wear English broadcloth, let them pay a tariff, and a high one, too, and protect American industries.” Mr. McCaul is an interesting speaker and particularly happy in illustration, His audience was a large one, composed mostly of colored men, who came from all over the county. The democrats claim Prince Wil- Hoes county for Mr. Meredith by 600 major- —— HIS WHOLE HEART IN IT. Activity of the MU lo at Hiroshima, Japan. The Japanese newspapers received at the Japanese legation here give graphic de- scriptions of the emperor's headquarters at Hiroshima and of the enthusiasm with which the war preparations are made. The imperial headquarters are in an old wooden building two stories high, formerly used as an army barracks. The rooms are small ani scantily furnished. The emperor occu- pies the upper floor, while the lower story is used for the council of war. The em- peror rises at 6 and does not retire until 11, all the while wearing military costume. He personally directs all that goes on, and has proved to be an indefatigable worker. All the barracks and quarters nearby are full of soldiers. There is the constant rattle end clank of cannon, horses, guns and sabers. The streets are ned with flags and lan- terns. The soldiers, as they move on, zre cheered by enthusiastic crowds. The spirit of humbling China to the dust is every- where manifest, and the Japanese, without exception, regard this result as assured be- yond the slightest doubt. The unanimity of war sentiment is shown by the printed declaration of the Kaishinto party, which has, hitherto, resisted the government. It announces that the chas- tisement of China is the first and para- mount duty of Japan. It there gives its support to all war measures, and says it will resist any proposition of peace until China is humbled and the objects of the war attained. The full text of the em- peror’s decree establishing pensions for dis- tinguished service is printed. The pensions range from 900 yen to 6 yen per annum, according to the service, and are divided into seven classes. In case of death, the widow or orphans of the deceased are to re- ceive the pension. —— +00 “LET THE HANGI ‘\G PROCEED.” Martin Preferred Lynching to Betrayal of His Frie News reached Princeton, Ky., yesterday of the lynching of Eddy Martin in the Rep- ton neighborhood in Crittenden county Tues- day morning by a mob of 100 men. The scene of the lynching is remote. Martin was called upon at his home after midnight. Opening the door, he was selzed by a dozen men, who asked for information of Bill Goode, the pauper commissioner of Critten- dem county. The mob told him they had ecme to hang him, but if he would turn state’s evidence on Bill Goode he would be spared. “If these are the only terms, gentlemen,” said Martin, “let the hanging proceed. Bill Goode has been my friend and I will shield him.” The mob did the work, and left the body swinging from a limb upon a lonely road. ———__+ e+ ____. General Court-Martial.

Casey’s Report on Potomac River Improvements. THE LONG BRIDGE A MENACE Original Plan Being Carried Out in Detail. THE EXPENDITURES ——_+—- — In his annual report to Congress Gen. Casey, chief of engineers, makes the fol- lowing statement in regard to the im- provement of the Potomac river in the vicinity of Washington, D. C.: Before the commencement of this im- provement the channel to Georgetown, D. C., Was narrow and crooked, and had not sufficient depth to meet the needs of com- merce. Vessels drawing sixteen feet fre- quently grounded at high tide about Long bridge, and frequent dredging was neces- sary to maintain even this depth. The channel was of insufficfent width, as the appropriations for dredging were too small to provide for more than a narrow cut through the bar. The Washington channel was narrow and shoal, and inadequate to the wants of commerce. Extensive mud flats existed along the city front from Observatory hill to a point opposite the arsenal. Below Long bridge these flats Were separated from the city front by the Washington channel. The greater portion of these flats was exposed at low tide, and covered at high tide with water polluted by the sewage of the city. At the foot of 17th street northwest a large sewer discharged directly upon the flat These conditions rendered @ portion of the city almost un- inhabitable. eager The Plan. By an act passed August 2, 1882, Congress adopted @ project which has for its object the improvement of the nawgation of the river by widening and deepening its chan- nels, the reclamation or filling of the marsh- es on the city front by depositing on them the material dredged from the channels and the establishment of harbor lines, beyond which no wharves or obstructions should be built. Thé project provides in detail for such depths of channels as will accommo- date the largest vessels that can reach Arsenal Point, with such depth at the wharves as will allow vessels to receive full cargoes without grounding at low water; for filling the flats above Long bridge to a height of three feet above the flood line of 1877 and the middle part of the flats below Long bridge to the same height, but sloping each way to @ height of six feet above low tide at the margin of the fill; that in order to purify the water in the Washington chan- nel, which will be cut off at its upper end from the Virginia or main channel, a tidal reservoir or basin be established above Long bridge, to be filled with water from the Virginia channel on the flood tide and discharged into the Washington channel on the ebb. The plan also contemplates the rebutld- ing of Long bridge with longer spans and fewer piers, during the progress of the work, and the interception of all sewage now discharged into Washington channel but and its conveyance to James creek; neither the reconstruction of the bri the building of the intercepting sewer was included in the estimate of the cost of the improvement. The estimated cost of the improvement is $2,716,365. Work Accomplished. Up to the close of the fiscal year 1893 the expenditures aggregated $1,843,166, and the following work had been accomplished: The Virginia channel above Long bridge had been deepened to twenty feet at low tide for a width of from 400 to 550 fect, a part of which has since filled up, and been re- dredged to a width of 250 feet. The Virginia channel immediately below Long bridge had been widened, the depth made being twenty feet. The bar in the same channel below Long bridge had been dredged to a depth of twenty feet and a width of about 300 feet. This part of the Virginia channel has main- tained Itself to the full depth originally dredged, or has deepened. ‘The Washington channel had been dredged to a depth of twen- ty feet for a width of 3%) feet throughout its entire length, and to a depth of twelve feet from the twenty-foot channel nearly to the easterly margin of the fill, except a small area near the 7th street wharf. ‘This channel, for the most part, maintained it- self until the freshet of June, 188%, when considerable filling took place. The junc- tion of the Virginia and Washington chan- nels had been dredged to depths of twenty feet, fifteen feet and twelve feet. The greater part of the tidal reservoir had been dredged to a depth of eight feet. The mi terial dredged from the river, 9,465,. cubic yards in all, had been deposited on the flats. The entire area of the flats, about 621 acres, had been outlined, and practically the entire area .o be reclaimed had been raised to a height of six feet above low tide. The rip-rap foundation for the sea wall had been ut in place around the entire river front of the reclaimed area and the margin of the tidal reservoir. The con- struction of the sea wall for the protection of the margin of the fill from erosion by the waves and the action of the tidal cur- rents had been commenced, and about 18,290 linear feet of wall constructed. The construction of a dike on the westerly side of the Virginia channel above Long bridge, with a view to reducing the deposits at that locality, was in progress. The outlet gate at the tidal reservoir, at the head of the Washington channel, had been completed, with the exception of the railing. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1894, the construction of the sea wall was continued, and 7,205 linear feet built, mak- ing a total of 25,405 linear feet. In the Washington channel, the anchorage ground, between the navigation channel and the wall—dredged to a depth of twelve feet— has been completed. The navigation chan nel has been redredged and. widened for a length of 6,207 linear feet, the width being generally 400 feet and the depth 20 feet. The unfinished portion of the tidal reservoir was dredged to the required depth of eight feet at low tide. The channel dredged in 1892 through the upper bar in the Virginia channel above Long bridge was found to have filled in by freshets, and has been partly redredged to a depth of twenty feet. Work on the training dike, on the west side of the Virginia channel, has been con- tinued. The Long Bridge. On June 30, 1892, the northerly end of the Long bridge across the Washington chan- nel had been nearly reconstructed by the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company, on plans approved by the Secretary of War, the work being incomplete, owing to the settlement and movement of the abut- ments. Reference {s made in the report of the officer in local charge to the necessity of rebuilding the bridge. In event of a freshet occurring whea the Potomac river 1s full of ice great damage Is to be expected. The piers of the bridge are of such faulty construction that an ice gorge would be probable, which would cause the water to back up and overflow portions of the city’s front, and through the sewers above the bridge such portions of the lower parts of the city as may be drained by them, Great damage was done by. the freshet of June, 1889, but greater damage may occur from a freshet of lesser magnitude if accompanied by an ice gorge.

The channel ig exceedingly narrow and tortuous, and vessels of moderate length navigate it with difficulty. The project for the improvement of the Anacostia river provides for dredging a channel twenty- four feet deep and 200 feet wide from its mouth to the Navy Yard bridge, the channel to be widened, with a reduced depth, to one feet, as the demands of commerce re- quire, In front of the navy yard a basin is pro- posed, 400 feet wide and twenty-four feet deep. The material dredged is to be depos- ited on the flats of the river, and the estl- mated cost of the improvement {s $656,000, Up to June 30, 1893, $18, t had been expended, and channels 200 feet wide and twenty feet deep were dredged through two shoals. A basin from 100 to 200 foet wide and twenty-two feet deep has been dredged at the navy yard by the Navy Department.

Another step was taken yesterday in the important enterprise which proposes the establishment of a Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation in this city. A meet- ing of the incorporators of the Cathedral Foundation was held in the afternoon in the parish hall of St. John’s Parish. The most important action was the election of @ board of trustees composed of the fol- lowing: Bishop Wm. Paret, Rey. Dr. Ran- dolph H. McKim, Rev. Dr. Mackaye-Smith, Rev. Dr. J. 8. B. Hodges of Baltimore, Rev. Dr. George W. Douglass, George Edmunds of Vermont, Gen. John G. Parke, J. A. Kas- son, George Truesdell, Theodore W. Noyes, A. T. Britton, Henry E. Pellew, Caleb C, Willard, Col. John M. Wilson and C. C, Glover. Bishop Paret is chairman ex-officio and Gen. Parke will continue 4 oat as secretary. The first meeting of the trus- tees will be held within the next thirty days, and at that time the property now held by the incorporators will be transfer- red to the trustees. That body will then be in entire control, and it is proposed at once inaugurate - active - measures whieh enterprise to @ will result in pushing the completion. As is well known a splendid property at the intersection of Conneeticut avenue extended and Woodley road has been secured, and in addition donations have been received which form a good nucleus of the funds which will be necessary for the naccee of the enterprise, expected that the board of trust will appoint a finance committee which will have charge of the collection of money, The probability that this District will be formed into an independent diocese and that the residence of the bishop will be located here gives additional importance to this enterprise, and will serve to further Crist. tho interest & Ss denomination in ch alrea ym = eral attention, ee ee —>—_— THE COURTS.

In hig proclamation he says: “On that day let our ordinary work and business be suspended, and let us meet in our accustomed places of worship and give thanks to Almighty God for our preserva- tion as a nation, for our immunity from dis- ease and pestilence, for the harvests that have rewarded our husbandry, for a re- newal of national prosperity and for every, advance in virtue and intelligence that has marked our growth as a people. “And with our thanksgiving let that these may be multiplied us,, that our national conscience dl be quickened to a better recognition of the wer and goodness of God, that in our na~ Honal life we may clearer see and closer follow the path of righteousness. “And in our places of worship and praise, as well as in the happy reunions of kindred and friends, on that day, let us invoke di- vine approval by generously “remembering the poor and needy. Surely He who has given us comfort and plenty will look upon our relief of the destitute and our min: trations of charity as the work of hearts truly grateful and as proofs of the sincerity, of our thanksgiving.” = ee Guatemala Doesn’t Expect Wi The Guatemalan officials here do not ate tach importance to renewed reports of wat! preparations along the Mexican border.
