GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS CANNES, France, March 7.—Under the influence of bright sunshine and a light, warm. breeze, the yachts Britannia, Ailsa and Corsair started today in a race of the greatest interest to all-yachtsmen, as en- abling them to form an idea of the ability of the new cutter which may race at New York for the America’s cup. The Allsa won by 1 minute 24 secpnds (corrected time). Unhappily, the light winf at the start had a depressing effect upon the crowds of sightseers ashore, but as the day wore on there was a prospect of a fair southerly breeze. Corsair got the best of the start, with Ailsa at the tail end of the proces- sion, and even her warmest admirers were obliged to confess that Mr. Walker’s cut- ter did net shape as well as expected in the first bouts with the Prince of Wales’ cutter, which led by 1 minute 2 seconds at the first mark. 2 The match was for prizes amounting to £80, £25 and £4, for all yachts over 20 rating. The course was triangular, three times around and thirty miles long. In maneuvering for the start in the faintest of southeast airs Britannia got on the weather beam of Ailsa, and the two big yachts, while watching each other, allowed Corsair to slip over the line ahead. As it was, however, they had barely steer- age way on crossing the line. ~ The times at the start —— oe 0 0205 0 OF 45 +10 0 00 ¢ lying Jibs set, and it was remarked that Ailsa looked very well under her big spread of canvas. Her mainsail looked enormous, and it was judged that she would go very fast in a reaching wind. The scene at the start was beautiful al- Most beyond description. The day was perfect for everything in yachting except so far as the wind was concerned. But when that began to strengthen, there was a@ general raising of sp.rits, and everybody began to hope for a thorough test of speed between Ailsa and Britannia. ‘To make the scene still more attractive, soon after the big yachts started a fleet of nine French warships appeared in the roadstead and added considerable to the attractions of the day, contrasting superbly with the iines of white-winged, graceful racing craft scudding about Napoule bay. In addition, there was the beautiful fleet of steam yachts, flying the flags of almost all nations. As the yachts pulled away toward the first mark, it began to look as if Ailsa was pulling up on Britannia. A Good Breeze. By 10:30 a.m. there was a darkening of the blue waters and a nice sea breeze began to blow, causing the racers to draw along at a fair pace. Ailsa, soon after getting well down to her work, began moving along at a lively rate and succeeded in fore-reach- ing from under the lee of Britannia. The first leg of the course was a beat to windward to a mark beat off St. Honorat, and Ailsa did very well. On board the Britannia was a large party of yachts- men and ladies and the Prince of Wales. Ailsa made a long board on her way to the first mark, but it seemed as if the Britannia was going faster. Mr. Walker’s cutter had done weli up to this point; but not so well as her admirers hoped. How- ever, Britannia had the best of the breeze and both the big cutters headed away from Corsair. Then Ailsa, which had been carry- ing a balloon staysail, shifted that spread of canvas, but as.the breeze softened Bri- tannia seemed to increase her lead. It was a long beat to the first mark, six boards being made before the buoy was weathered. Britannia at this point had a lead of 1 minute, 20 seconds on Ailsa, but crossed the line 2 minutes, 45 seconds ahead. Therefore Ailsa,which had been believed to be dropping behind, had really purled up 1 minute, 25 seconds on Britan- nia. * It was a free reach across to the west mark, buoy No. 2, moored a good distance to the northward of Point de L’Esquillon, off a small point of land which forms the enclosure of Napoule bay. Both yachts set their balloon ctaysails and Britannia spread a big jib topsail. The Prince of Wales’ cutter seemed to hold her place in the plain sailing, and, to the delight of every- body, the prospects of a freshening breeze increased with the day and’ everybody be- gan to look forward to a truer trial of speed between the two big yachts, At the second mark Britannia was lead- ing by 1 minute, 37 seconds, showing a slight increase in her lead at the first mark. Both yachts came home at a good rate on a broad reach, prettily dashing the light seas away as they churned along to- werd Cannes. The First Round. Following {s the time of the first round: Britannia. 11 56 OL Ailsa. ll 57 8 Corsai 2 12 10 50 Britannia had a lead of 1 minute, 12 sec- onds on Ailsa at the end of the first round, having gained on the reach from the sec- ond mark. After finishing the first-round the yachts found a pleasant working breeze with which to claw to windward for the first mark, off St. Honorat. Then people began slowly to change their opinion of Ailsa’s ability to beat Britannia. The new cutter appeared to be settling down more and more to her work at every turn and was apparently creeping up on her rival. Britannia had a lead of 1 minute, 12 sec- onds on Ailsa at the end of the first round, but the new cutter had cut this lead down to 33 seconds in the beat to the St. Honorat mark on the second round. This was quite a point in favor of Ailsa, as Britannia is known to be a fast boat at working up in the wind. The next leg was a smart reach about two points free. Britannia had a little the best of this leg,.but Ailsa was clinging to the Prince of Wales’ cutter in gallant style and spurting now and then, as if her skip- per was trying her speed under different auspices. From the second mark boat it was a broad reach. Ailsa was clearly pull- ing up, and there was great excitement” ashore and afloat. On finishing the second round there was orly a few lengths between the two cut- ters. Ailsa Passes Britannia. At 1.25 p.m. Alflsa passed Britannia to windward while beating to the St. Honorat mark boat No. 1, on the last round, and there was then every prospect of her win- ning the race. The two yachts then reached away in splendid style, Ailsa having the wind free and outfooting her rival. She made three short boards, each of 1 m. 3 s. duration, which ended in Ailsa, on the starboard tack, pulling Britannia around and eventu- ally passing her to windward while beat- ing to the St. Honorat mark boat. ‘Ailsa was leading Britannia by 1 m. 37s. at this stage of the race. Ailsa’s lead at Aiguille point was 56 s. The Finish. The times at the finish were: Bae 8. Ailsa . os 2 21 32 Britannia oe 2 2 08 Ailsa won by 2 m. 36 s. actual time. But Aiisa allows Britannia 1 m. 12 s., and, therefore, the new cutter won by only 1 m. 24 s. corrected time. Dakotah Won Again. Mr. Henry Allen’s American-built 10- rater Dakotah made a clever start in the race for her class, worked away from her four French opponents and eventually won the prize Dakotah was leading her near- est rival by 3 m. and 33 s. at the end of the first round, with the crack French yacht @ginot-Martial fourth. => LI HUNG CHANG VINDICATED.

Bundy, the father-in-law of ex-Goy. Foraker, on his retirement from Congress, was a remark- able one. Toasts were responded to by Bundy and Ohio Congressmen, Gov. Mc- Kinley, ex-Gov. Foster and’ex-Gov. For- aker and others. All the state officers were present, also all ex-Congressmen living who had represented the district. Mayor Cald- well, Gen. Kiefer, Judge Nash, Auditor Poe and other gubernatorial aspirants were present. . ‘There was a sensation created when Gen. Grosvenor, in referring to the vote on the bond issue, said: “It could not well be said on the floor of the House of Representatives, owing to an unwritten law of that body, but I will say it now—Mr. Sherman said to an Ohio mem- ber of Congress one day, after the defeat of the Rothschild-Carlisle outrage: ‘Sixteen millions of money is a good deal. It is a good deal of money, whether paid in a sin- gle lump today or distributed $500,000 at a time across thirty years. But,’ ‘said he, ‘had that bill passed and this government steered away from its time-honored record and adopted the word ‘gold’ in these bonds it would have caused the depreciation of the present outstanding obligations of the government in the markets of the world within twenty-four hours more than double $16,000,000." ’” A banquet was tendered Congressman Bellamy Storer (rep.) in Cincinnati last night for having voted against his Ohio colleagues. ———— .RAN DOWN FIREMEN.

WILL ACT PROMPTLY Steps Already Taken for the Printing Office Addition. GOVERNING [93 ERECTION THE LAW Col. John M. Wilson Will Have Direct Charge. PLANS FOR: THE BUILDING ‘The appropriation of $121,121.90 for an ad- dition to the government printing office was. made “immediately available,” and Gen. Casey, chief of engineers, to whom the work was intrusted, has already taken steps for the erection of the structure. He has made a careful study of the law, and is prepared to take prompt action in the matter. The execution of the law has been assigned to Cok John M. Wilson of the engineer corps, by whom the proposed, building was designed, and who is now engaged in making the repairs and addi- tions to the main building authorized in the sundry civil appropriation act ap- proved August 18, 1894. The plans and specifications of the building are already prepared, and active building operations will begin as soon as certain necessary preliminary arrangements have been per- fected. There are many important details yet to be perfected before entering upon the work of construction, but it is said at the War Department that there will be no unnecessary delay in the matter. The Law for the New Building. The law under which the new building is to be erected is contained in provisions of the sundry civil appropriation bill ap- proved by the President March 2, 1895. These provisions read as follows: “For the construction, by the chief of engineers, of a fire-proof building, upon the lot belonging to the United States now occupied by the stables of the government printing office, according to the plan and specifications of Col. John M. Wilson of the engineer corps, submitted to Gen. Thomas L. Casey, December 17, 1804, and approved by him, $121,121.90, to be immediately available and until: the completion of said work. fee “The appropriation of $75,000 made by the sundry civil appropriation act approved August 18, 1894, for the repair of the gov- ernment printing office, to provide fire es- capes, and to put the building in a safe and secure condition, shall be available until the completion of the work. “At any time when there is no joint com- mittee of the two houses of Congress the power and duties under the law devolving upon the joint committee on printing shall be exercised and performed by the commit- tee then in existence of either house.” This last provision is made to enable the completion of the entire work in accord- ance with provisions of the sundry civil ap- propriation bill approved August 18, 1894, placing the work authorized on the govern- ment printing office under the supervision of a congressional committeé. The pro- vision in question reads as follows: “To enable the chief of engineers of the army, under the direction of the joint com- mittee on printing, to repair the govern- ment printing office, to provide fire escapes and to put said building in a safe and se- cure condition, and to enable the public printer, under the diréction of the joint committee on printing, to rent, if neces- sary, any buildings for use of the printing office, $75,000." Plans for the Building. The plans for the building call for a six- story fire-proof structure, with a large roomy basement, plain, strong ard stable in character, affording a maximunr area of floor space, and provided with numerous windows and every facility for light and ventilation. It will be erected on the long narrow lot at the west end of the present dilapidated structure, fronting on H street and rurning back to Jackson alley. This lot is 32 feet-front by 175 feet deep, and is now partly occupied by the printing office stables. The structure will be a typical steel-skeleton building, carrying all the walls and floors on steel frames, and through them to the column foundations. The walls will be 26 inches thick in the basement, 22 inches thick ‘in the first story and 18 inches thick from that point to the roof. The roof will be finished according to the most approved methods of fire-proof construction, and will be provided with a large skylight. The total volume of the building, from out to out, will be, approxi- mately, 535,000 cubic feet, and its estimat- ed cost is $121,121.90, the exact amount subsequently appropriated for its construc- tion. : Repairs During February. Col. Wilson has made a report to Gen. Casey in regard to the operations upon the repairs and cenlargement of the govern- ment printing office during the month of February. The project for this work con- templates the construction of an additional story upon the southwest fire-proof sec- tion; to erect a new five-story building be- tween the southwest and south-center sec- tions; to thoroughly strengthen and render safe the H street section, and to erect three fire escapes, at an estimated cost for all of $65,000. if Owing to the continued storms and cold weather during the month considerable de- lay occurred in the progress of the work. Its condition at the close of the month is stated as follows: The iron work has been completed in position, the stone coping placed in position, the brick work finished, the timber sheathing of roof completed, the tinning of roof and construction of gut- ters are well advanced, all the iron work has been painted, all window sash has been placed in position, sash cords adjusted and weights hung; door frames have been set and doors constructed; the hollow tile floor- ing has been finished, except a small sec- tion in the western portion of the building. Some Delay. The construction of the skylights has been commenced under agreement with a responsible firm, but, Col. Wilson says, progress has been slow and unsatisfactory, causing some delay in the other portions of the work, and keeping open a section of the roof that should be closed at once. He says that every effort has been made to se- cure more energy upon the part of the con- tractors, and that all the facts in the mat- ter wiil be reported at a later date. The work of placing wire lathing in position has commenced and the plasterers will begin operations today. The woodwork for extending the elevator in the southwest wi has been completed. The floor joists have been laid on the top floor, and the recessary filling over tile work has been placed in position. Contracts for Steel Frames. Contracts have been made for the steel frames for the structure to be erected be- tween the southwest and south center sec- tions of the government printing office. A very satisfactory test of the new tile floor- ing was made on the 27th ultimo. A sec- tion of the work selected by the officer in charge and covering an area of twenty- four square feet was subjected to a load of 500 pounds to the square foot with ex- cellent results. A wooden box or pen was constructed, resting on the iron beams, and was filled with about six tons of damp sand, the pen being so arranged that the sand rested directly on the tile arch. The sand was weighed in a box holding about 255 pounds and the weight gradually in- creased. The floor showed not the slight- est indication of deflection. 'The probatle operations during March in- clude laying flooring, hanging doors, com- pleting plastering, painting, calcimining, tinning of roof and completing skylight in southwest ‘section. It is also proposed to prepare the foundation and erect stone and brick piers of the new structure between the southwest and south center buildings. Col. Wilson says that every effort will be made to complete the structure and at least to turn over the fourth floor to the public printer. —_—__—_—_+-e+__ —__ Sir Joseph Dodge Weston, liberal member of parliament for East Bristol, aged seven- ty-three years, is dead.

The attorney for the District today ren- .dered an opinion to the Commissioners, re- garding the recent communication of F. W. Buckler of 519 7th street, desiring to know whether it is lawful for a social club to allow their friends to play pool when their tables- are not licensed. He says if billiard and pool tables are used by clubs for revenue they are required to be li- censed. Bad Condition. Health Officer Woodward has reported to the Commissioners that N street, in front of the Japanese legation, is in a filthy con- dition, and that the unimproved alley in square 179%, between New Hampshire ave- nue, T, lith and U streets, is also in a filthy condition. 5. No Gas Lamps. The Commissioners have informed Messrs. Charles H. Ruoff of 905 Pennsylvania ave- nue, and Gen. Albert Ordway of 702 17th ‘street, that the present conditions of the available funds for street lighting will not permit the establishment of gas lamps as requested. Hin Own Successor. F. A. Bond, the sealer of weights and measures,has been reappointed "by the Com- missioners at a salary of $2,500 per an- num. J. 8. Bond was appointed his assist- ant at an annual compensation of $1,200, as provided for in the new law. In addi- tion to the official salaries provided for the act creates a contingent fund of $100, which is also at Mr. Bond's disposal for office expenses. The fee system which for- merly prevailed in the the office was re- cently abolished by act of Congress, and the two positions were made salaried ones. More Mails Wanted. ‘The Commissioners have written to Fost- master Willett asking whether there can- not be more frequent deliveries of mail at the District building. Monday last the Chattanooga Foundry and Pipe Company submitted a proposal for certain material advertised for by -the District.. The letter is postmarked as having arrived in Wash- ington at 7:30 o'clock a.m., but it was act delivered until 1 o’clock in the afterncon. As the time for receiving. bids expired at 11 o'clock in the morning, the proposal of the Chattanooga firm was not considered. The New Building. Another proposition has been made to the Commissioners by Mr. Thos. W. Smith, owner of the building now occupied by the District offices, looking to the retention of the building by them. He offers to make a number of desirable improvements to the building to render it more suitable for their occupancy, but the Commissioners were compelled to decline the proposition, as they had committed themselves in the matter of the lease of the Walker build- ing. Al ments are practically com- pleted for securing the new quarters and the lease will be signed as soon as some minor matters have been cleared up. 5 oo For the Plaintiff. The attention of Circuit Court No. 2, Justice Bingham. presiding, has for the past three days been engaged in the con- sideration of a case involving @ much mooted question, and of considerable local interest. The plaintiff, Richard Ross, who was represented by Messrs. Henry C. Stew- art, jr., and Mason N. Richardson, claimed the right to possess a valuable lot in the northwestern section of the city, as the sole heir of his mother, Catherine or “Kitty” Ross. The defendants, who were numerous collateral relatives, rep- resented by -Messrs. Bigelow & Dor- jan, denied the right of the plaintiff to recover, on the ground that there was never the performance of a ceremonial marriage, by custom or otherwise, between the mother and father of the plaintiff. Justice Bingham instructed the jury to the effect that if they believed that the plain- tiff’s father and mother lived together in the relation of husband and wife and were so reputed, by-their family and neigh- bors, and themselves acknowledged that relation to subsist, and that children were born of such relation, such facts were suf- ficient for the jury to presume a marriage and to legitimate the offspring sufficient for the purpeses of inheritance. The jury this morning returned a sealed verdict, which was for the plaintiff. . — Street Obstructions. Three cases. of alleged Obstructions, brought because of the recent order of the Commissioners, were heard in the Police Court today. The defendant in one case was William Friedericks, who keeps a jew- elry store on 7th street. He has a dummy clock suspended over the areaway in front of his store,.and he thinks he will be able to get a permit from the Commissioners to allow the sign to remain there. For the purpose of giving him an opportunity to make the application, the court continued ae uongs > & inese laundryman, a) peared in the next case, to answer 4 charge of having his sign less than eight feet from the sidewalk. Quong laughed when the clerk arraigned him, and said he had already moved the sign. “When did you move the sign?” asked. “Yesterday night,” he answered. “He moved it after the warrant was served on him,” explained the officer. His personal bonds were taken. James W. Taylor, a colo! barber, was defendant in the last case of the kind tried, and the court suspended sentence in the case, telling him not to put his sign out too far from the building line. a ‘Fast of Esther. The fast of Esther will be observed in the Jewish synagogues this week. Sunday will be Purim Sunday, which is generally observed as a time of feasting and re- joicing. This occasion is marked by enter- tainments in the Sunday schools, by gifts to the poor and the interchange of remem- brances among friends. ————__ A Year of Good Works. Hamline M. E.
