Beware of couterfeits.”” AFFAIRS INGEORGETOWN Work on the Repairs to the Aqueduct Piers. Other “otes of General and Local In- terest Told in Brief Paragraphs Social Affairs. In order to facilitate the early and square settlement of the Aqueduct bridge coffer dam the divers worked all day yesterday below the surface. They spent most of the time in cutting the timbers, so that the big, upwardly projecting rock that has been encountered will not interfere with the level sinking. Eight men are being k®@pt on the construction and sinking of the dam. This number is suffictent. A greater would retard progress, as the working space consists only of the deck of a stone scow and the top of the coffer dam frame. It is not thought that the winter will have any effect upon the progress of the re- pairs to the foundation of the injured pier, as the divers will work nearly thirty-five feet below the surface and out of the touch of a low temperature, even if such would affect them in their’ metallic suits. The water will hardly be pumped out of the framework and the base of the pier ex- posed before next spring, say those who are watching the work. The timbers being used in the censtruction and the general solidity of the dam will, it is said, defy without a tremor the usual spring ice freshets. ‘There are some though, who, knowing of the difticulty experienced by Maj. Turn- bull and his associates, In keeping the coffer dams intact during the first con- struction of the piers, view the coming of spring with respect to this work with ap- prehension. These are answered, though, with the assurance that big strides have been made in coffer dam construction since that day. ofit_ has been gained through experience. The corfer dam of today is greatly superior in: every form of strength to the coffer dam of 1830. The original was built of two rows of piles, one within the other, and the in- tervening space filled with puddling clay. Then the water was pumped out. An old official report says that one pier was near- ly pumped out ten times, a break occur- ring in the dam refilling just as the foun- dation reck was about to be disclosed. Chevy Chase Hui The hunt of the Chevy Chase Club rid- ers on Saturday was made up of a suc- cession of stiff jumps. This year four rails are considered nothing to clear and other equestrian feats practiced are go- ing away ahead of former runs. There was a big field out on Saturday. M. F. H. Halloway was in charge of the hounds, a full pack. He rode the fine hunter Win- chester. The trail ran through about sev- en miles of country, terminating to the reer of the Dunlep country place. The falls were frequent. Earle riding Ranger, went off first and probably re. ceived the severest jar, though not lasting in its effect. He was soon on again. Social Notes. Mrs. G. L.

The Secretary of State is finding great difficulty in organizing a commission that was authorized by Congress at the last session for the adjudication of claims cf American citizens against the government of Venezuela. There was a similar com- mission sitting here for a similar purpose about four years ago, and most of the claims that are to be considered by the present one grew out of the recent revolu- tion in that country. The representative of the United States is Noah L. Jeffries, the representative of Venezuela is Jose An- drade, and Mr. G. De Wickherlin, the min- ister resident of the Netherlands at Wash- ington, was invited to act as the third mem- ber, but declined with thanks. An invita- tion has since been extended to Baron A. von Saurma-Jeltsch, the German ambas- sador, but it is not probable that he will accept elther. Secretary Gresham will find great difficulty in filling this position, be- cause of his treatment of Mr. Alfred C. Claparede, the minister of Switzerland, who served as arbitrator in the Chilean commission, which sat in Washington last winter. ‘The commission organized November 9, and sat almost continuously five or six hours a day until it adjourned April 9. ‘There were an unusually large number of cases to be considered—in fact, so many that the term of the commission expired bef re it could hear the arguments and evi- dence on more than two-thirds of them. Mr. Claparede was exceedingly industrious, painstaking and impartial, and practically devoted his entire time to the duties of the commission for six months and to the sat- istaction of both governments, but when the government of Chile proposed” to pre- sent him with a testimonial for his services Judge Gresham objected on the ground that Mr, Claparede was not serving in a personal capacity, but was representing his government in the performance of a duty that it owed to friendly nations. Nor did he think that it was proper for interested uetions to pay money to an arbitrator un- der any circumstances. He said the Pres- ident of the United States had served as arbitrator in the settlement of a great many international disputes, but he had never accepted or expected any compen tion. Just at that time President Cleve- land had undertaken to settle a controversy between Brazil and the Argentine Repub- lic over their boundary line, which would require a great deal of labor and study, and in a case of such importance a lawyer would be entitled to a very liberal fee. But Mr. Cleveland was doing a friendly service for two friendly governments, and he did not expect and he would not accept any compensation for his time and trouble. He said, too, that he did not think the Swiss republic would want its ministers to receive pay from foreign governments, and called attention to the law which prohibits officials of the United States receiving compensa- tion of any kind or any article of value, or even a decoration from any foreign nation without the consent of Congres: The Chilean minister endeavored to con- vince Judge Gresham that it was always customary in other countries to pay a fee to arbitrators in such cases, and suggested that the United States and Chile unite in paying Mr. Claparede $5,000, which was the sum paid by the United States to Judge Goode, its commissioner, but was met with a refusal. Then Mr. Claparede, by the ad- vice and with the consent of ‘his govern- ment, made a formal application to Sec- retary Gresham for compensation for his services, but his letter remained unanswer- ed. During the time he was sitting in the commission he was promoted from Wash- ington to Vienna, where he now has charge of the Swiss legation. After his departure, by order of the § iss government, the charge d'affaires here renewed Mr. Clapa- rede’s claim for compensation in the name is government, and finally after a long ussion and correspondence the Secre- tary of State agreed to pay it, and during the latter part of October a check for «0 was sent to Mr. Bayard, the am- ador of the United States in London, with instructions to inform the United States minister at Vienna to inform Mr. Claparede that the money was deposited to his credit in a London bank. There has been no explanation of this awkward and round-about method of payment. The $2,500, the share of Chile, was deposited with the disbursing officer of the State De- partment here long ago, and it would have been simple and easy to have sent a draft direct to Mr. Claparede, or through the United States mimster ‘at Vienna, but Judge Gresham has queer ways of doing things. It is not known whether Mr. Clap- arede has yet received this “testimonial,” although the commission adjourned April 9% and all its judgments have been paid. soe WAYWARD Huss Ds. Two of Them Who Did Not W Work. George W. Hill and Ella Robinson, col- ored, have lived together a number of years as man and wife, although no min- ister ever performed a marriage ceremony between them. Ella has been trying to get rid of him for several years, so she says, and today she succeeded, and George will probably spend his Christmas in jail. They have two children, but Ella says she is willing to continue supporting them. “I have been supporting him for six years,” she said, “and 1 want nothing more to do with him.” “Has he been Miller asked Ella. “No, indeed,” she replied worked any for six ye “When was the last time apy mone; “If you want me to tell you the truth,” said Ella, “he hasn't given me a cent for more than six years.” t to supporting you?” Judge “and he hasn't he gave you George, whose clothing had the appear- ance of being six years cld, got on the stand and denied Eila’s complaint that he had struck her. “And as for her saying I haven't worked for six year’s, ‘taint so,” he said, “ ‘cause I worked a year ago last sur ‘And then got tired, ‘ren dollars or thirty 4 Avery Gilbert's wife also made complaint against her husband She said he had not only threatened her life, but had also in- cluded her mother. nd,” she said, “he told me he would put an’ end to my life and then hang for me.”” A colored special policeman appeared as a witness in the case, and when questioned as to why he did not vse his authority he frankly admitted that hé did not under- stand what power he had. “And, judge,” he said, “I knew if I went over the law and was brought here you'd put it on me." “You are the best special who has ever appeared in court,” the judge remarked. ‘The prisoner told of the trouble in his family and of the quarrel he had with his wife. He denied that he intended to in- jure his wife, an@ the judge released him on his personal bonds. James Blair, a young colored man, whose ambition is to become a pugilist, was in the toils for fighting, and he said “guilty.” Benjamin Pinkney, with whom he had a fight, had not been arrested, and so Blair's case was heard. ‘T saw these men engaging in a fieht at 12th and R streets about 2 o'clock yesterday morning, and they had a number of spectators present.” “How long had they been fighting when you arrested Blair?” ‘About ten minutes.” “Ten dollars.” court. Street Railway Union Fally Organized ‘The organization of the Protective Street Ratlway Union was completed at two meet- ings which lasted together from 7:30 o’clock Saturday night until 3 o'clock yes- terday morning. Mr. James A. Power, eastern organizer of the International 'Ty- pographical Union, presided at both. Over a hundred new members were admitted, representing employes of all the street car lines in the city. A constitution and by- laws were adopted. The former provides for beneficial features, members of the union receiving $4 per week if sick, while 3100 will be paid their heirs in case of death.
