PIANOS TO RED ata-it I declare them the Condition of Steerage Passengers De- tained at Chester, F A special dispatch to the Philadelphia North American from Chester, Pa., says that the 356 steerage passengers of the steamer Southwark, which was recently detained off that city on account of the death of a passenger from smallpox, are confined at the quarantine station there in the most absolute filth and privation. In an interview yesterday one of the pris- oners said that a petition complaining of the food was signed by 250 of them, but the officials in charge suppressed it. It is declared that the food is not fit to serve to dogs. To receive it the prisoners are compelled to stand ia line in the open air. One man, who has money, sent out and bought worth of clean food for the mothers with small children, but the goods were confiscated because they had not come through the managers. A policeman on duty at the station said he would re- sign because he could not see little chil- dren starve to death. The entire camp is In the filthiest condt- tion possible, and it is asserted that no soap, water or towels have been provided since the landing. Many disgusting details are related, and the people of the city, fearing discase, will lay the matter before the Chester board of health and demand immediate action. The cabin passengers were allowed to pass up the river, and this distinction is complained of by the prisoners. A number of Philadelphians, who have wives and children among the colony, have been driven away upon attempting to see them. oo DING IN 1894, RAILROAD B A Steady Decline for Six Years in the Number of Miles Construct The figures of railroad building for 1894 ere at hand, and, according to the New York Sun, the total is less than 2,000, against in 1889, in 1890, 4,282 in 1891, 4,187 in 1892, and 2,635 in 188. In fact, for the last six years there has been a steady and marked decline each year in the amount of railroad building in the United States, not only with reference to the total mileage, but also compared with the preceding year. At the head of the states and territories in respect to railroad building this "year Arizona, followed in the order named by illinois, Pennsylvania, Michigan and | Maine. New York has a total of only forty | miles, while Maine has a year’s record of 111. which is exceptionally high for a state tha total railroad mileage of only 1,100 miles. ‘The Maine woods, however, are yet to be developed and the Arizona flatlands are, though for a different reason, still a fair field for prospectors and civil en- gineers. In the older states of the Union railroad buiiding is practically at a standstill, New York's slender record of forty miles being matched by four miles in Massachusetts, seven miles in New Hampshire, five miles in Virginia, three miles in North Caro- lina and three miles in Kansas, a state which used to be the most inviting field for railroad builders and has now a mile- age of nine thousand miles. The United tates lead the world in re- | spect to railroads, having 50,000 more miles | of track than all the countries of Europe combined, but at the present rate of pregress the United States may not be able to held its lead. One reasen for the rela- tive falling off of road building in the United States is found in the trolley lines. ae Courtesies Between Fran nin. President Casimir-Perier of ®tance yes! terday received Gen. Tchertkoff, the spe- cial envoy from Czar Nicholas to formally announce the latter’s accession to the throne of Russia. The audience took place in the Palace of the Elysee. Among those present were Prime Minister Dupuy, M. Hanotaux, minister of foreign affairs, and a number of other high officials. Troops were drawn up in the court yard and Gen. Tchertkoff was received with the highest honors. Flattering speeches were ex- | changed. ‘ GREEK CETTER MEN Two College «Fraternity Societies Meet; Here Today. ADDRESSES F WELCOME MADE They Get Down'to the Transac- tion of Business. THE DELEGATES PRESENT ——__-+—_—_ Two Greek college fraternities began their respective annual sessions at the Ebbitt House this morning. The Alpha ‘Tau Omega assembled for its fourteenth national pienntal congress, and the Sigma Alpha Epsilon met in twenty-ninth annual convention. Both conventions were well attended, and the hotel was filled with trim young collegiates and more sedate alumni. It was a well-dressed, orderly and intel- lectual assemblage of typical young Ameri- cans and older Americans, who for this occasior became as the youngest. Alpha Tau Omega. The first meeting was held by the Alpha Tau Omega in the red parlor at 10:30 o'clock. This was a secret meeting, and the proceedings were devoted to considera- tion of fraterniay business. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon a public meeting was held, at which Commissioner Ross delivered the address of welcome. Response was made by Mr. William R. Bass of Ohio Beta Eta. Meetings of this fraternity will be held daily during the week to transact frater- nity business, and a banquet will be given Friday evening. The local committees for the management of the convention are os follows: Reception—K. M. Gadsden, W. E. Faison, J. H. Davis, H. P. Simpson, G. L. Johnson, Chas. Harris, H. Pechin, D, P. Meetze, J. F. Renfro. Entertatnmen:—G. H. Norton, E. I. Ren- ick, J. Coit, 1, Boothe, E. J. Russell, Vv. W. Henry, F. E. Porter, Henry Pugh, O. 2. Woolf. Banquet—Dr. L. W. Glazebrook, H. B. Stewart, Dr. Sterling Ruffin, J. By Fitz- gerald, Thomas Ruftin, A. J. Stofer, W. H. Lamar, G. D, Ellsworth, Wm. Husson. The Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The Sigma Alpha Epsilon commenced its ttirty-ninth annual convention at noon in the west parlor, the meeting being called to order by Mr. Claudius Dockery. He in- troduced to the delegates Assistant Attor- ney General Howery of the Department of Justice, who made the address of wel- come. Judge Howery welcomed the delegates to Washington, “not only for what you are,” as he said, “but for wha you represent, and I take pleasure in extending to you the right hand of fellowship, and a cordial welcome to the capital of the republic. “I must congratulate you on condition of the fraternity today. A was a member of the fraternity when it was young. It is most gratifying tw me to be met with so many evisences ofithe’growth of the organ- jzation. The fraternity has extended from the colleges of the squth to the north. I recall the time when,jthe question of ex- tension came up and the illustrious Lamar argued for extension. (Applause.) In the University of Mississippi in 1867 there was a chapter whose members have almost all attained positions of distinction. None fave dishonored them He recalled the time when col fulminated their ‘edicts against the exist- ence of college iraternities. There must be something noble fh this organization if it has outlived this opposition, has survived the misfortunes of nd from a. § tional institutio jn’ ‘southern — college spread to “northéri “institutions. The co! lege fraternity is now recognized as the ve Se officials most useful aujunet of the college. It has been a great aid and contributor to the broader education of man. Around the board of college fraternities friendships have been formed which attends men all through life. There it is, too, that noble impulses and the honest effort to do some- thing in the world are formed, There is nothing that retains a deeper influence upon the college man’s nature than the fraternity connection. In closing Mr. Howery said the greatest honor he had ever had was in presiding over the convention of the S. A. E. in Nashville, in 1867. Organization Effected. Mr. J. Washington Moore of Nashville replied to the address of welcome in a short and feeling speech, after which the permanent organization was effected.

Harry Menier, the English bridge jumper, leaped from the top rail of the Poughkeep- sie bridge with his parachute yesterday afternoon, The parachute worked success- fully, and Menier struck the water in just eight seconds after he started. He was picked up by his friends, who were in a rowboat upder the bridge. They rowed to the west’ shore, where they got into a wagon that was waiting for them, and were driven to Milton, four miles south of the bridge. There they took a train for New York. Menier showed no apparent injury from his perilous leap. Poughkeep- sie bridge is 212 feet from the base of the rail to the water, which is about sixty feet deep. ———__-e+__ Randolph Churchill's Condition. Lord Randolph Churchill's physicians have signed the following: “Lord Randolph Churchill is suffering from general paralysis. He lies in a semi- comatose and critical condition.” The physicians add that the patient has not entirely lost the use of his lower limbs, but his weakness is extreme and his «ppe- tite is slight. Monday night, however, he was able to partake of a light supper, ‘ard yesterday morning he ate a fight Ureak- fast. The serious symptoms appeared ten days ago. MEMORIAL BRIDGE Reasons Why It Should Be Built and at ~ Onoa As a Business Transaction It Would Be Profitab! Cost of Construction. to the Government— To the Editor of The Evening Star: Since the reclamation of the Potomac flats was undertaken no measure of public improvement has been suggested or con- templated by our citizens which approach- es in merit or supreme importance the proposed memorial bridge crossing the Potomac to Arlington. There are abundant reasons to be urged in favor of its con- struction. Considerably more than half a century ago the general government built a bridge across the Potomac in front of Washington. From its location it was ad- mirably adapted to the use of the people of the District and the neighboring popu- lation of Virginia, for whom it was in- tended. It was, in fact, the only bridge ercssing the river from a point within the city limits which was built for public use. Within comparatively recent years this bridge, Long bridge, about one mile in length, was practically surrendered to a railway corporation. It is true that the railroad company was required to main- tain a public roadway over the bridge, but this roadway is inevitably close to the rail- road tracks, barely a rod distant. And the ordinary dangers of meeting railway trains are here greatly increased by the incessant use of the steam whistle, some- thing absolutely unavoidable on a single track draw bridge like this, It is there- fore easy to understand that such a road- way can be used for public travel only at the peril of life and limb. Hence the traf- fic which passes over it consists chiefly of brick teams and other heavily loaded wagons, while the general public, protest- ingly,use the Aqueduct bridge, which crosses the river three miles above, at the western limits of Washington, and nearly three miles distant from its business centers. This enforced detour of several miles is still greatly preferred to the alternative of facing the hazards of the Long bridge highway. Lovg Bridge Bill. The history of the methods by which the Long bridge was taken from the peo- ple and graciously handed over to a wea(ithy corporation-jthe swiftness and dexterity with which the necessary legisla- tion was obtained—is curious and inter- esting, but need not here be detailed. It is enough to say that the bill giving this bridge away was rushed through both houses of Congress and became a law with- in seventy-two hours; before the people whose interests were thus trampled under toot knew that such a measure was pend- ing. Though the bridge was a donation on the part of Congress, it is pretty well under- stood that the railroad company was com- pelled to disburse freely to its attorneys, go-betweens and members of the third house. Repair the Wrong. Now, in the inexcusable surrender of this great highway across the Potomac to a private corporation—thus wresting frem the people the main artery or gateway of travel and traffic which united the north and south banks of the river—in the mani- test and many damaging consequences of that act, may be found the amplest and soundest reasons for measurably un- doing the wrong by building a new bridge which will restore to the people facilities equal, as near as may be, to those of which they were deprived through the easy good nature, the thoughtlessness, the indiffer- ence and the ignorance of our rulers and masters. Arlington and Fort Myer. But there are other cogent reasons for building this bridge. The national cemesery at Arlington, it has been said a million times already, is the Mecca to which the footsteps of every patriotic American instinctively turn when he ccmes to Washington. It is estimated that little less than half a million people go annually to this historic spot. By the Aqueduct bridge the journey to the cem- etery from Washington is two and one-half miles longer than it need be; the distance via Georgetown, as compared’ with a direct route, is precisely doubled. The route by way of Long bridge, if it were safe for travel, ts hardly less circuitous. The site of the proposed bridge--either of the two suggested sites—gives a direct road to the cemetery. Adjoining the cemetery on the Arlington reservation is the important cavalry post at Fort Myer. The new bridge would therefore be not less valuable in giving the most direct access to Fort Myer. These censiderations have strongly im- pressed high officials of the government; and in their reports are reiterated recom- mendations urging the early construction of this bridge. Gen. Batchelder, the quar- termaster general, has more than once, and notably in his last report to the Secre- tary of War, set forth in forcible words the great importance of the new bridge. and the Secretary of War is not less em- phatic in his recommendation. The bridge, then, and the necessary legislation in its behalf, have abundant official approval, sanction, recommendation and support; not routine, perfunctory utterances, but the phrases of men who are in earnest and mean what they say. So it is made plain that the peovle of the District and our neigh- bors of Virginia want the new bridge, and have an equitable right to insist upon its construction by Congress; and the govern- ment, through its officials, declares it al- most indispensable. Plan Feasible, The structure itself has been elaborately planned, estimated and reported upon by government engineers, and its cost is not a matter of doubt. It is known at what depth below the bed of the river secure foundations can be obtained and there are no elusive or difficult engincering problems involved in the undertaking. An ample bridge, fifty feet in width, with sidewalks of eight feet each, spanning the river, will cost, with necessary approaches, not ex- ceeding $750,000, - The estimate contemplates the bridge spans—the fixed spans—to be, at least 300 feet, having a clearance of thirty feet above tide, thus permitting the passage of tugs and small craft under the bridge, with a draw span of lu feet. The bridge to be of steel, resting on substantial stone plers and abutments, or steel columns, tilled with concrete. Such a structure, ready for travel, can be built for the sum stated, and, such a structure, provided with a draw of ample width, operated by steam, it would be simply absurd to claim could seriously in- terfere with the interests of navigation. ong Bridge Evils. Long bridge is justly ccnsidered an ob- struction, and, in some sense, a nuisance. Its piers are barely 100 feet apart, and their foundations are protected from scour by large deposits of broken stone, which greatly diminish the sectional area of the river channel. Hence, Long bridge, as it exists, may truly be described as a dam, A suspension bridge,elevated 115 feet above the river, has been gravely suggested. Such a conception is simply a vision, born of indigestion; bearing close kinship to the fancies of disturbed, unbalanced thought, rather than of sober, robust ser#e. The bridge would cost several millions, and assuredly there are no requirements of commerce, as, certainly, there are no phy- sical conditions, calling for any such airy, celestial structure. These, rather, forbid it, whatever may be said of the mimic, mythic, hypothetical commerce, in volume and value, which seeks and departs from the wharves which lie west of Rock creek. The Potomac is not the East river, now or prospectively, any more*than is George- town, in its uniqueness and solidarity, the rival of Brooklyn. Business Reasons. Putting aside the sentiment which de- mands a bridge from the nation’s capital to the cemetery at Arlington, there are some sound, sordid, selfish business reasons apart from those already set forth for building this bridge. Of the whole tract at Arlington the government is using and needs only about one-half. This leaves 3) acres between the cemetery and the Potomac which the government can as well part with. When the proposed bridge is built every acre of this portion lying—all of it—within two miles of the treasury building, will have an enhanced value of not less than $1,500 per acre. Therefore the increment upon the present value of these 309 acres resulting wholly from the con- 'Burt’s Shoe Store Removal Sale. We will remove to 1411 F s!

So, in fact, Congress is now asked simply to advance the money required to build the bridge, since it may reimburse itseif from the add- ed value which will be given to a portion of the Arlington tract, for which portion today the government has, confessedly, no need. ‘Then why should the construction of this bridge be further delayed? Its cost, as pointed out, need be only a present draft upon the government's ex- chequer, to repaid within two years at farthest, if Congress so elects. The most vigilant and relentless watchdog of the treasury should not object to the appro- priation and expenditure. Let us have the Memorial bridge at this session of Congress. . WASHINGTONIAN. —_-—> — DEATH OF A PATRIOT. A Man Who Suffered When Poland Fell. The funeral of Henry Korwin Kalusow- ski, the distinguished Pole, who died in this city Sunday, took place from the resi- dence of his son, Dr. H. E, Kalusowskt, 911 L street northwest, at 11 o'clock this morning, the interment being at Rock Creek cemetery, the pall bearers being Dr. Samuel Waggaman, Dr. Joseph Scholl, Dr. D. P. Wolhaupter, Mr. Victor Becker, Mr. Stephen Buyintzki and Mr. R. H. T. Leipold. Gen. Kalusowski was eighty-eight years old, ard his death resulted from the in- firmities due to old age. He came from a distinguished family, his father having been chamberlain to the last King of Po- land and his mother a countess of Cour- lands. He was educated at the University of Wilna, and, having ‘graduated with henors, received a civil appointment from Nicholas 1 of Russia. In the Polish revo- lution of 1830 Gen, Kalusowski was given command of the insurgent forces of Lithu- ania, fighting in the hardest battles of the revolution. He was decorated for his brav- ery with the Polish Order of St. Stan- islaus, which was afterward perpetuated by the Russian emperor. For seven days Gen. Kalusowski held the Russian army at bay with his forces in order that a ship sent by Louis Napoleon with muni- tions of war and volunteers for the Poles might land with safety. On the final de- feat of the Polish army, in 1831, he went to Prussia, but rejoined the ‘army of Poland on’ the second insurrection, and afterward became minister. of finance for the revolutionary government, and re- mained such until the fall of Cracow. He made an ineffectual attempt in Austria to re-establish the revolutionary flag, and then, after a visit to Paris, established a Polish journal in Brussels. In 1838 he came to the United States and became a teacher of languages, with fourteen of which he was fluently acquainted. He re- turned to Europe in 1848 and took part in a general insurrection then waging on the continent. Later the Prussian governmept expelled him, and he returned to the United States, being appointed by Presi- dent Pierce to a clerkship in the land office. On the outbreak of the civil war he cn- deavored to organize a Polish legion, which finally became the thirty-first New York volunteers. Before the close of the war he was appointed to a clerkship in the office of the Secretary of the Treasury, which he retained until his advanced age and failing health compelled him to resign about twelve years ago. He was married twice, first in Brussels, in 1833, to Anna Shea, daughter of Col. Shea, in the employ of the East India Company, by whom he had three children, now deceased. He was married a second time in New York city in 1851 to a French woman, Miss Mary Josephine Grimm, by whom he had three children. Of these Prof. H. E. Kalusowski of the Natlonal College of Pharmacy, in this city, and Baroness M. Klobassa-Zrencka, residing in Cracow, survive. In 1891 Dr, Kalusow- ski founded the Polish Library and Museum in Chicago by giving 3,000 volumes from his own collection of books. -—__—— Indian Wedding at Carlisic.

Tonner, Jate surgeon of the Bra- zilian cruiser Niétheroy, arrived yesterday at New York from Rio Janeiro,-.‘The doctor stated that he was present at the inaugura- tion of President Moraes, and was a-gtest at a reception given by the. president.the same evening. He describes him as being @ tall, spare man of dignified and serious expression, and of broed and liberal views. He has every reason to believe that his ad- ministration will be peaceful and pros- perous. There appears to be no indication of a revolt. The navy is in a great measure hostile to the army, and no insurrection can possibly succeed in Brazil without the concerted action of both the army and navy. The president is quite popular with the whole people. He has already granted amnesty to nearly all participants in the late rebellion, excepting Admirals Mello and Da Gama. Mello is still reported to be at Montevideo. The editors of the prin- cipal Kio newspapers have -been pardoned and have returned to the capital. The sanitary condition of the -city 4s ex- cellent, very few cases of yellow fever be- ing reported. The reported outbreak of cholera or cholerine took place at a stall town about two hours’ ride by: 1 from Rio Janeire. The sanitary authorities took prompt measures to stop the spread of the disease. ‘I'he town was quarantined and communication cut Of with Sao Pauto and other adjacent towns. Some twenty cases of the disease were reported, of Which three were fatal. All the rest recovered, including a Chinese immigrant, Who was suspected of having first brought the in- fection from the south.

Mis ae. TROUBLE OVER IN GEORGIA. The Mi Fo There Was No Need for Them. The trouble in Brooks county, Ga., is over. The Valdosta Videttes were ordered to Quitman Monday night by the governor. Capt. Cafferty, Lieut. Staten Peoples, Dr. Bass and Sheriff Thrasher at once visited the scene of the trouble. They found peace restored, and the citizens assured them there would be no more trouble, so they went back to Quitman about 2 p. m., and the Valdosta Videttes left on the after- noon train for Valdosta. The-killing of the negroes was entirely uncalled for. They were killed because they were apenas to know the whereabouts of Waverly Pike. Good citizens of the county will do their utmost to bring to justice the men who are responsible for the trouble, bile At 8 o'clock last evening Gov. Atkinson received the following telegram ‘from Quit- man: : “All is q tin Brooks today. “J. W. THRASHER, Sheriff.” This is the only information that reached the governor from the scene of the out- break since the sheriff's message announc- ing his departure from Quits for the disturbed locality with the Valdosta Vi- dettes. Gov. Atkinson expressed the opin- ion tha: the trouble was over, and was sure no further demonstration of force would be necessary. ee ee Honor Soon Satisfied. The duel between M. Jaures, the French socialist leader, and Dr. Barthou, minister of public works, growing out of the dis- cussion in the chamber of deputies on Monday, took place yesterday morning at Ouen-Sur-Seine. Dr, Barthou, as the chal lenged person, selected pistols as the weap- cns to be used. Two shots were exchang- ed, with the result usually attending French duels; that is, nobody was hurt.
