Those present were Mrs. Kinsley, Mrs. Rollins, Mrs. Eastman, Mrs. Tibbitts and Miss Sue Riddle. ss Ensign Dodd's Trial. The trial of Ensign M. L. Dodd of the navy was continued at the navy yard yes- terday. The prisoner was on the stand during a portion of the day, and was sub- Jected to a severe cross-examination by Judge Advocate Lauchheimer. The ex- amination related to a debt of $110 to Pro- prietor Bangs of the Sturdevant House, New York, and to a debt of $26 to Mrs. B. A. Lambert of 221 East Capitol strect. Both were on account ‘of board. Ensign Dodd admitted the justice of both claims, and said that he was endeavoring to meet them. The claim of Mrs. Lambert was paid on Wednesday last, and had been de- layed simply because he had been unable to raise the money before. Several wit- nesses were heard with regard to the Sturdevant House claim, and their evi- dence was decidedly conflicting. Ensign Dodd had drawn a note for the amount of the bill, and it had been indorsed by Mr. J. L., Cunningham. This note went to pro- test. On one side it was testified that it was not expected that this note would be presented so soon, and on the other side it was stated that there was no understand- ing about withholding the note. Mr. Cun- ningham testified that he held himself re- sponsible for the debt, and was now ready to pay it. The trial was resumed today. ENCOURAGING STATEMENT Mr. McMillin Gives the Result of a Talk With Seoretary Carlisle. The Latter is Encouraged by the In- crease of the Revenues This Month —Commissioner Miller's Estimate. An encouraging statement of the prospect for an increase of the government revenues is given by Representative McMillin of ‘Tennessee as the result of a long talk with Secretary Carlisle. His statement is the first authentic information of the adminis- tration’s view of the outlook, and shows that the receipts from the income tax will greatly exceed the estimates made by the department. Mr. McMillin is chairman of the subcommittee of ways and means to which the bill to double the tax on beer was referred. He says: “Our committee has not yet acted on the measure. I spent a good portion of the day in conference with Secretary Carlisle and Ccmmissioner of Internal, Revenue Miller concerning the revenues and the necessity for an increase of revenues. I would not, of course, relate our conversation. The Secretary, 1 may say, however, is much en- couraged by the increase of the revenues this month. He does not think the de- ficiency of revenue will continue a great while. “Commissioner Miller has had an esti- mate made by the collectors of internal revenue as to the number of persons and ccrporations who will pay an income tax, from which it seems there will be much mcre collected than the department esti- mated when the income tax was under con- sideration. The revenues are picking up. During this fiscal year we have collected from internal revenue sources $8,000,000 more than during the corresponding period of last year. The sugar tax has yielded but little revenue yet, because of the large stock of free sugar on hand when the tariff law went into effect. But from that source we will from now on receive heavy rev- er-ues.”” “I would say that I presume it will not be our policy to impose any additional tax on any article unless we need additional revenue. If we should need more it will be the part of policy and wisdom to raise it by taxation rather than by increasing our bonded indebtedness. What should be tax- ed additionally in the event of need for further taxes will be question for the committee to determine. “On what do you base your statement that inquiries develop the probability of an ineréase from the income tax over the es- timates of the departments?” was asked. “On this. There are sixty-three collection districts in the United States. Returns of estimates have come in from only thirty- six of these, and the estimated number of persons and corporations that will be as- sessable therein is 243,510, and returns are not in yet from many of the heaviest dis- tricts, such as San Francisco, Brooklyn, Pittsburg, St. Louis and Philadelphia. The internal revenue department, computing by the census and other returns, only estimated that there would be 85,000 indi- vidual income tax payers in the country. It is true that this number embraces both ccrporations and individuals. “It looks as though the worst of the treuble from depleted revenues was over,” ———__—_-.o._____ ZOOLOGICAL PARK SUGGESTIONS. Labels fer the Cages and Inclosures and a Home for District Birds. To the Editor of The Evening Star: We are all aware how our Zoo has been stunted in growth by the lack of appropri- ations, and how this same monster “lack of appropriations” has been held respon- sible for nearly all the ills that the District is heir to. Still I doubt whether it can be fairly charged with the one to which J wish to call your attention, viz., the ab- sence of signs, giving names, habitat, etc., to many of the animal houses in our local menagerie. In passing through the grounds and buildings just before Christmas I counted no less than thirty-two cages and inclosures without doorplate, card or other Provision for a proper introduction of the eccupants to their numerous callers. Last Sunday the conditions were apparently un- changed. It is generally conceded, I be- lieve, that a properly conducted zoological garden is of value to the community prin- cipally from an educational standpoint, and upon this consideration rests its equitable right to hold in duress the animals that constitute it. If, then, this value is large- ly diminished by denying to its dumb in- habitants the power to answer the simple questions that ignorance asks What are you?” “What is your nam “Where are you from?” etc., does it not to a con- siderable degree impair our equities and lay the exhibition open to a charge of cru- elty to animals? There are many other reasons why the denizens of zoodom should have doorplates to their domiciles, not the least of which is the embarrassment of a gentle body when called upon to peep into the window of a neighbor whose name and social position are perforce unknown. Try it, gentle reader, before the unmarked resi- dence of that lately arrived member of a family to which your own is so closely re- lated and tell me when he uncurls_ his spidery arms, legs and tail from about his diminutive body and lvcoks into your face with a mildly interrogative air, if you don’t, mentally at least, stammer ‘-er,— Mr.—er, your name please?” and offer him your card by way of introduction and apol- ogy? But neither argument nor incident is necessary to prove my contention. If it be true, “that a museum should consist of a well arranged system of labels with samples attached” it must be admitted that a menagerie should consist of a well ar- ranged selection of animals with labels at- tached—to their houses. The Zoo has, no doubt, a small allowance for its regular and necessary ruuning ex- penses, but tin is cheap and I have no doubt there are those among its employes that can use a pencil well enough to make labels for such of the residents of the park as are not up in English as she is spoke. While on the question I should like to make a suggestion that if it can be carried out will add largely to the educa- tional value of the park. It {is this—add an aviary for birds of the District, summer residents, winter residents and migrants and let the children of all ages obtain a knowledge of our finches, woodpeckers, thrushes, grosbeaks, vireos, sparrows, etc., ete. The cost, except for buildings and cages, would be small. Most of the birds can be caught within the limits of the Zoo by its employes. The aviary may be start- ed in & small way and added to as oppor- tunity and appropriation will permit. I understand that the park has on its staff orf hunter that is well up in_ the botany of the Rock creek region. Why not furnish the tin and the paint and let him label the trees and shrubs of the park so that we, the people, may come to 2 knowledge of the names thereof, both com- mon and uncommon? Truly, knowledge is power, and he that maketh it free to the people ‘shall be called blessed. HENRY SERVICE. —— Wants an Exchange. ‘Wm. W. Danenhower, trading as Danen- hower & Co., has filed a bill in equity against T. B. Hood, trustee for the Wash- ington and Chesapeake Beach Railway Company, for gpecific performance. Mr. Danenhower alleges that in receipt for feed furnished to Coffin, Sullivan & Co., contractors, engaged in building the rail- way, he was given by them forty one-hun- dred-dollar notes of the company, matur- ing December 1, 1894. Neither interest nor principal has been paid thereon, he states, and the company becoming insolvent, with no assets here to be levied on, he asked Mr. Hood to exchange $8,000 werth of the company's first mortgage bends for the notes held by him. Mr. Hood refused to make the exchange, he alleges, and the complainant's attorney, Frank L. Will- lems, therefore prays the court to direct Mr. Hood to make such an exchange. ——_ At a meeting Tuesday of the citizens of Waco, ‘Texas, it was decided to rebuild the cotton palace, which was destroyed Saturday night last by fire.

To the Editor of The Hyening Star: The question gs to the cwnership of Alex- ander Island was définitely answered some time ago. Thd’ boiindary line was deter- mined by arbitrators duly appointed on the part of the stdte of Virginia, and on the part of the state of/Maryland, for the pur- pose of ascertgjning and fixing the bound- ary between the gaid states of Virginia and Maryland,.andi who did ascertain the true line of safd boundary. Also Congress gave consent 'fo the agreement, or com- pact, entered jnto ;between the states of Virginia and Maryland. The majority report was made by Messrs. J. 8, Black ang ¢.qW. Jenkins, and a mi- nority report was made by Mr. J. B. Beck, who agreed with hig colleagues in the con- clusion that they had reached as to the right of Maryland on the Potomac river, but differed as to the location of Watkins Point in running the line from the mouth of the Potomac river to the sea. The opinions of arbitrators were made in January, 1877, and we make the following extract bearing on the subject in question: “The evidence is sufficient to show that Virginia, from the earliest period of her histery, used the south bank of the Poto- mac as if the soil to low water mark had been ker own. She did not give this up by her constitution cf 1776, when she surren- dered other claims within the charter limits of Maryland; but, on the ccntrary, she ex- pressly reserved ‘the property of the Vir- ginia shores or strands bordering on either of said rivers (Potomac and Pocomoke), and all improvements which have or will be made thereon.’ By the compact of 1785 Maryland assented to this, and declared that ‘the citizens of each state, respective- ly, shall have full property on the shores of Potomac ani adjoining their lands, with all emoluments and advantages thereunto belonging, and the privilege of making and carrying out wharves and other improve- ments.’ We are not authority for the con- struction of this compact, because nothing which concerns it is submitted to us; but we cannot heip being influenced by our conviction (Chancellor Bland notwithstand- ing) that it applies to the whole course of the river above the Great Falls, as well as belcw. Taking all together, we consider it established that Virginia bas a proprietary right on the south shore to low watermark, ard, appurtenant thereto, has a privilege to erect any structures connected with the shore which may be necessary to the full enjoyment of her riparian ownership, and which shall not impede the free navigation or cther common use of the river as a pub- lic highway. “To that extent Virginia has shown her rights on the river so clearly as to make them indisputable. Her efforts to show that che acquired, or that Maryland lost the islands or the bed of the river, in whole or in part, have been less successful. “But these conflicting grants of the is- lands increased the impertance of kuow- ing how and by whom they had been occu- pled. The exclusive possession of Mary- land was affirmed and deried upon evidence so uncertain that we thought it right to postpone our determination for several weeks, so as to give time tor the collection ot proper proofs. When these came forth they showed satisfactorily that Maryland had granted all the fslands, taxed the own- ers,-and otherwise exercised proprietary and political dominion over them. Three Virginia grants were produced which pur- ported to be for islands in the Potomac, but on examination of the surveys it ap- peared that they were not in, but upon, the river. One is in Nomini bay, and the other two are called islands only because they lie with one side on the shore, whiie the other sides are bounded by inland creeks. All are on the Virginia side of the low watermark, which we have said was the boundary between fhe states. “It being thus shown that there is noth- ing to deflect the Ine from the low water- mark. “The low watermark cn the Potomac, to which Virginia has a right in the sofl, ts to be measured by the same rule, that is to say, from Idw Watermark at one head- land to low watermark at another, without following indentations, bays, creeks, inlets, cr affluent rivers. “Virginia is éntitleé not orly to full do- minion over the sofl to low watermark on the south shore of the Potomac, but has a right to such use of the river beyond the line of low watermark as may be necessary to the full enjoyment of her riparian own- ership, without impeding the navigation or otherwise interfering with the proper use of it by Maryland, agreeably to the com- pact of 1785." t Therefore, it is safe to say the question is at rest for all time to come; that the ter- ritory of Alexandria county, and formerly in the District of Columbia, is in Virginia (with it Alexander Island), and will re- main so beyond a doubt.
