There were two interesting developments in the Nicaraguan situation last night. One was the ordering of two United States warships to Nicaragua and the other was the official disclosure of the fact. The news about the ships was given to the press by Secretary Herbert after a long conference with the President and Secre- tary Gresham at the White House. Ex-Senator Warner Miller, president of the Nicaragua Canal Company, had pre- ret. of this settler viously been in consultation with Secretary Gresham and other officials and Dr. Guz- man, the Nicaraguan minister, and the sending of ships to Nicaragua for the pro- tection of American interests is believed to be almost entirely due to his representa- tions of the necessities of the case. His arguments must have been most convinc- ing to have induced the administration to send the ships back to the isthmus almost immediately following their withdrawal. Protection of the Canal. Mr. Miller said that the canal company Was much interested in events in Nicara- gua. The corcessions of the company were safe, being from a de facto government, but the line of the canal was not. He said that the concessions entitled the entire line of the canal to protection, but an uncon- trollable revolution might result in de- struction of property by irresponsible per- sons. Mr. Miller urged upon both Secre- tary Gresham and Secretary Herbert the cessity of protection to the engineer com- ion, and also indicated that as United States zens were so largely interested in the canal and its property, in case of revolutionary disturbances the United States should not depend on the Nicara- guan government to protect the property. Disposing the Warships. The Alert, which has been stationed for a month or more at Panama, watching the progress of the revolutionary movement in Colombia, has been ordered to proceed at once to San Juan dei Sur, the nearest cable port to Corinto, Nicaragua. The Atlanta, now on her way from Kingston to Key West, and expected to arrive at the latter place at any moment, wil! find walt- ing her orders to sail at once to Greytown, the eastern terminus of the proposed Nica- ragua canal. The Montgomery, now at Mobile, will follow the Raleigh on May 7, with the Nicaraguan canal commission on board. The Monterey having sailed Sun- day from Acapulco direct for Panama is not expected to touch at Corinto, and as she is now beyond the reach of orders by wire, she will probably be ailowed to re- Neve the Alert, on guard at Panama, whence she can be ordered back to Nica- ragua if occasion arises in the future. To Guard American Interests, Secretary Herbert explained briefly the neaning of these orders. He sald that the movements of the ships had nothing to do with the present occupation of Corinto by the British, that being a matter to be set- tled between the Nicaraguans and the British. The real purpose of, the orders was to guard American interésts in Nica- ragua against the consequences of a pos- sible revolution which may result from the disturbed condition of the*country. Being asked what measure of protection the Nicaraguan commission would receive in the pursuance of its work of inspecting the line of the canal, the Secretary said the Montgomery would remain at Greytown while the commission was in the interior, and with two ships on one side and one on the other there would su be force enough to protect the comm and all other American interests that otherwise might be endangered by a revolution. No Trouble Expected. Certainly the character of the United States vessels which have been ordcred to Nicaragua is a sufficient evidence that Secretary Herbert does not expect them to come into hostile conflict with the British ships, for if it came to that the smal! cruis- ers Atlanta and Montgomery would find themselves opposed to the whole British West India squadron, while on the Pacific side the old corvette Alert would be left single-handed against the British Royal Arthur, Wild Swan and Satellite. Great Britain and Honduras, The story of a contemplated onslaught by Great Britain on Honduras for debt is regarded as absurd, as there is no justifi- cation of such action. If the British have any claims against that country they cer- tainly do not grow out of the Insult offered to a British official, on which Great Britain has made the issue in the Nicaraguan case, and if there be any claims for ill- treatment of individuals, they would first be pressed by ordinary diplomatic courses before they are made the basis of a naval demonstration. The story is that Great Britain is pre- paring to take aggressive measures for the collection of the interest on Hondurian bonds negotiated in England, upon which that republic defaulted nearly twenty years ago, and the proposition is to collect the revenues of Hondurian ports. The principal ports Hable to blockade or occupation are Amapaia, on the Pacific coast, and Trujillo, on the Atlantio. — $1.23 Excursion to Baltimore $1.25 via Pennsylvania Railroad, Excursion tickets to Baltimore, Saturday, May 4, and Sunday, May 5, good returning until Monday, 6th, via Pennsylvania rail- Toad, at $1.25.—Advt, PIONEER ENGINE HOUSE No. 2 Fire Company and Its Predecessor, the Franklin. The Old-Time Voluntcer and the Strong Feeling of Rivalry Which Existed at That Time. Old No. 2 engine Housé, on D street near 12th, will soon be vacated by the engine company, and Chff Partis, with his two assistants, and thé Chemical Company will fall heir to the pidneer etgine house in the District. Could the walts speak, what a story they would tell. For thirty-eight years the building has sheltered brave men, whcse rehearsal of the stirring times would fill volumes. Engine Corhpany No. 2 has lcng been the pride-of Chief Parris, and to be a member of that historic company is synonymous with being a fearless fireman. The district covered by this company is ccnsidered the most important in the city, and Chief Parris uses more than ordinary care in selecting the members. For years, however, the efficiency of the company has been embarrassed from lack of sufficient quarters, and the men and horses have suffered alike by reason of the unranitary condition of the building. It has been especially hard with the hor: and many have died from the disease known as “big head.” An effort was made to purchase the ground immediately in the rear and enlarge the building, but the price of the ground was too high, and a ‘site on Ohio avenue was finally purchased. Now that Engine Company No. 2 is to pess from itsvold home, a brief history of the organization will not be amiss. Up to within a few years ago, that brave, con- scientious fireman, who gave the best part of his life to the public service, John Mad- dox, was at the head of the company. As Chief Parris is wont to say, “John Maddox was every inch a fireman, and a braver man never lived.” It is to him that No. 2 ewes its standing, for he made the effi- ciency of that company the study of his fe. When he died his mantle fell upon James Kelliher, and he has already demon- Companies | strated his ability to keep up the standing of the company. The Question of Priority. There ts a good deal of uncertainty in regard to the date of the organization of the various volunteer fire companies. In the earlier years there was considerable rivalry between the various companies, ard the feeling extended to the question of priority of organization. The subject No. 2 Engine House. was debated, not always with the best of feeling, and finally, in 1857, a convention was held and a committee was appointed to examine the question. The conclusion zeached by this committee was that the Columbia was entitled to be regarded as No. 1, as it always bore that ame. The Unicn company, which was generally re- garded as the predecessor of the Franklin company, disputed this claim. Soon after the removal of the govern- ment to this city an appropriation was made by Congress for the purchase of two fire engines. In 1803 the then corporation of Washington made an appropriation for the purchase of engines for the protection of the market buildings, but there is no record of the organization of companies until the year 1804. In that year the city council established fire wards, and meet- ings for organizing companies in the four wards were cailed. The Union company, afterward the Franklin, was organized in August-of that year, with James Hogan as_ president. The meeting which resulted in the for- maticn of the Franklin company, or Ni 2, was held on the last day of December, 1814. James H. Blake presided at the meet. ing, with Charles Glover secretary. Messrs. Peter Lomax, Clotworthy Stephenson, Roger C. Weightman, James M. Varnum and Charles Glover were appointed a com- mittee to frame rules and obtain subscrib- ers to a fund with which to purchase ap- paratus, &e. This company was given charge of the engine purchased by the Treasury Department, which was housed in a small frame building just south of where the treasury building now stands. A few years afterward a new house was built near the north front of the treasury building. This was a small wooden struc- ture, and it was surmounted by a tower, in which was a clock with a gong, the only public timepiece in that section. The Early Locations. The engine first used was a primitive ma- chine, with copper cylinders and prodig- fously long arms, but this wore out, and a new engine was ordered to be built by the celebrated Patrick Lyons of Philadelphia. This engine was known for years after- ward as the “Padelion.” The company at this time took the name of the Alert. Capt. Stephenson was succeeded in the presi- dency by W. W. Billings, and then came W. W. King, jr. In 1826 a new engine house was built on the triangular space north of the avenue and west of i3th street, but soon afterward another house was built on the opposite triangle, facing on 14th street. The late Charles Cc. Coltman was the president, and in 1S: name Franklin was adopted. Mr. McClin- tock Young, for many years chief clerk of the treasury, succeeded Mr. Coltman as president. Prior to 1830 the old Union De- bating Society occupied the public hali in the secend story of the building, and num- bers of its members ran with the company. In 1857 this house was demolished, and the company removed to D street near 12th, and kept up its organization until the | paid fire department came into existence, in 1864. On its roll of membership there were the names of many of our prominent citizens. There were times when the rowdy element seemed to get the upper hand of the more staid firemen, but such occasions oe company, like the Columbia, paid visits to other cities at various times, and quite as~ often received firemen visitors to this city. —_.__ NORTH CAROLINA’S SOLDIERS. A Statue to Be Erected to the Hono of the Confederate Dead. North Carolina will soon erect a monu- ment to her confederate“soldiers at Raleigh, Cel. M. Muldoon of Louisville, Ky., one of the best-known architects of the south, designed the monument, which is being made by F. F. Graham of Baltimore. The stone used is North Carolina granite from the quarries of the Mt. Airy Granite Com- Paty at Mt. Airy, N. C. It will be 82 feet high, and will have a base of huge blocks of granite, 3% feet thick. At the four cor- ners of this base will be placed bronze gas lights. Half way up the shaft, surmount- ing handsome pillars, will be placed two bronze figures, one of an officer with drawn swcrd, the other of a sharpshooter, both in full confederate uniform. Upon a ‘polished granite column 26 feet high will be placed a heroic bronze statue of a confederate soldier at “rest arms.” This figure will be Ye feet high. The base of the monument will be 25 feet square. The cost of the monument will be about $25,000. The funds for it were raised by the ladies of the state, When completed it will be one of the finest confederate monuments in the south. Se A White Horse on Hand. Some p2ople still ardently believe In the old “r2d-headed girl and white-horse” the- ory. One of these believers holds a promi- nent position in one of the government de- partments. Not long ago he was walking dowg the street with a friend, and every time he saw a girl with auburn or crimson tints In her hair he took a peculiar delight in pointing out the inevitable white horse. They ‘passed on down the street and en- tered the department building. In one of the corridors they passed a young lady clerk who possessed a rich sult of red hair. The disciple of the white-horse theory was nonplussed for a moment when his friend politely inquired for the white horse. To his intense chagrin he was about to own up that his thecry had failed for once. were rare. Among the presidents not above named were W. Kirkwood, J. A. M. Dun- canson, Robert Coltman, Thomas J.
