THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. BATURDAY..........September 7, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES...............-Editor. = = THE EVENING STAR has a regelar and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington auilics. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed _ to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. All Together, for Defender. ‘The first day of the yacht races ts a dis- appointment in the matter of the direc- tion and force of the wind. No one can tell whether it is Defender or Val- kyrie weather. It is not good yachting weather, at all events. Defender was led by her rival at the start, but both boats Proved themselves magnificent racing ma- chines. The course Is such as to leave the result In great doubt until a later hour, as the boats run straight out to sea for fif- teen miles before turning and running home before the wind. But as the sails of the flying craft go shining out towards the sky line of the ocean every staunch American heart beats hopefully for Defender. The stake is a great one. It must be kept at home, and there is but one wish all over the country today and that is that the Yankee boat will win. There is apparently no diminution of the general interest In the races this season. Indeed, it would seem as though there was Irore excitement over the events than ever. This year the American syndicate have built a magnificent boat that is met with the latest production of English genius, aided by certain ideas adopted, after years ot defeat, from the western shores of the Atlantic. In the light of the past, the ending contests seem likely to be the most gallantly fought of all the races of late years. The boats are more nearly alike, and the two nations, so far as yachting is concerned, are more nearly than ever on an equal plane. These races are giving a tremendous stimulus all over this country to good, honest, healthy sport. Yachting by gentlemen, for modest tro- phies, free from the taint of professional- ism or gambling, can indeed be called the most glorious of sports. Great credit is due to the enthusiastic young men of wealth who have giver of their time and means for the production of defenders of the cup, and whether the victory lies with Valkyrie or Defender these men will be honored by their countrymen. Lord Dunraven, too, has proved himself to be a sportsman of the finest type, and a most honorable competi- tor. He and his American antagonists have done much towards elevating International yachting to the very highest plane. —___-e—_ Shorten the Campaigns. There seems to be a definite movement among the politicians toward a much- needed referm that has for its object the shortening of the presidential campaigns that quadrenially effect almost a paralysis of the business of the country. This, of course. can only be done by the postpone- tment of the nominating conventions from May or June until August, or, preferably, unt:l September. To be sure, there is more cr less commercial unrest in the months immediately preceding the convention, but the absolute reign of politics does not be- Jn until the candidates have been named and the issues have been defined by the gatforms. It was necessary thirty years more ago to prolong the contests over a period of three or four months, and some- times longer, in order to insure a perfect spread of intelligence regarding the nature of the issues and the character of the can- didates among all the people of the na- tion, scattered as they were over an im- Mense territory, as yet poorly equipped with means of transportation and com- munication. But the great growth of the railroad and telegraph system, and, best of all, the wonderful progress of the Amerl- can press, have eliminated these conditions, and the America of today is no more diffl- cult to canvass as a whole than any one of the states. The campaigns in such states as New York and Pennsylvania are being shortened each time that there is an elec- tion, and it is wholly useless to spend months in foolish reiteration of charges and counter-charges, denials and explana- tiors, when the minds of the people are doubtless made up on the subject of prefer- ence for candidates almost immediately after the converfions. One factor that will Probably cause a reduction of the cam- paign season before a new century is reached is the tremendous and ever-grow- Ag expense, which is furnishing too much VW a factor for corrupt practices and too great a menace to the purity of American Politics. Mutual agreement by the great Political parties to hold the conventions in September would be of more practical value to the country at large than the ful- fillment of all the campaign promises ever made by aspiring candidates. Miss Martha M. Gurnee 1s today a living Protest and argument against the }4comers as a business costume for women’ Miss Gurnee is station agent at Mt. Ivy on the New Jersey and New York railroad and the other day saved a passenger train from wreck by using her petticoat as a signal flag. The station caught fire and burned to the ground, covering the track alongside with wreckage sufficient to have derailed the train. Just before the time for the arrival of the train Miss Gurnee realized that all her signal flags had been destroyed with the station, but being a woman of expedients she quickly slipped off her petti- coat and her small brother ran up the track and succeeded, by wildly waving the garment in the air, in attracting the engl- neer’s attention and bringing the train to e halt before the place of danger was reached. The reasoning 1s strong and un- answerable that Miss Gurnee could not have accomplished the feat of saving the train in this manner had she been a new ‘woman of the bloomer variety. ——__ ++ —____ It must be rather difficult for some of the eminent statesmen in this country to keep tab on the presidential nomination engagements which are being made for them by their friends and admirers. —_+ e = —____ Emperor William’s ideas as to the re- strictions which should be placed on news- papers are so unreasonable that they would hardly be indorsed even by a District Com- missioner. —_~ > ___ The way in which Chicago has watered stock on numerous occasions is bad enough without stealing the water to do it. ——_ + +-—. Settle the Matter at Once. As The Star has repeatedly pointed out there is now no obstacle to prevent the Commissioners from bringing about an im- mediate and satisfactory termination of the struggle between the public and the Eck- ington railway. They can cut down the illegal trolley poles, unrestrained by the court, or they can by dally prosecutions, cf the kind sustained by Judge Cole, or per- haps by the serious threat of such prose- cutions, quickly force the company to remove the poles, and to fulfill the Pledges of satisfactory rapid transit made by President Newbold. The lat- ter official has stated that the company has the disposition and the ready financial ‘reans to put in at once an improved motor other than the trolley, and it has been intimated that the underground elec- tric is the contemplated system and that negotiations are already under way in re- spect to its installation. The people of Washington reasonably insist, however, on something more definite and binding than words. They expect to see the work of constructing the underground system contracted for and quickly un- der way, and they want the poles removed .and wdhorses temporarily used on New York avenue, in the absence of any satisfactory justification of even a tem- porary toleration af the poles. The Com- missioners should act speedily and ener- getically, and they tannot fail to act ef- fectively, for tha victory has been won for them in advance. Prosecutions of the road ! by private citizen’, ont of which was in- stituted yesterday, gs noted in The Star, should help to spur the Commissioners to action. If they will take ‘up the matter ta earnest, as urged repeatedly by The Star, they can brirg the company to terms in a single day. * Saks os Mard Lines for Fagitives. ‘The capture ‘of Killoran, Rtssell and Al- len, the post-office robbers who broke jail In New York the Fourth of July, which was reported from St. Louis,~and the discovery in Minneso{a of Qr. George Fraker, the Kansas man whose heirs have recently drawn a %srge sum‘ of insurance money, belleving him to be dead, show that this country is not so big as it might appear to be from a glance:at ‘the-map. It is not of- ten that a criminal once apprehended wholly escapes frcm the hands of justice, for there has been established in this country after of effort a well-nigh perfect system peration between the police authorities of the various cities and states. Developments at the recent con- vention held in this cltywf the police chiefs of the cauntry tadicated the stage of per- fecticn to which the thief-catching busi- ness has been brought in America. It is very hurd for a detected wrong-doer to es- cape, as the waste places in which a man can absolutely hide himself and yet sur- vive are today..exceedingly few in number and difficult of access to the fugitive as well as to his pursuers. On the other hand, so well hag,this.department of government been organized that it {s folly for one who is avolding the police of any part of the country to remain any length of time in a settled community. The Americans have taken a VAluatle 'Téesoni "from the French in fhe mater of the detection and capture of evil-doers, and thanks to the adoption of their system of identification the chances of successful disguise and concealment are reduced to 2 minimum. eo Frauds in Administering the Law. It 1s one thing to secure a wisely-framed civil service law applicable to all the ap- propriate departments of the government, and it is quite another thing to Insur® its honest and effective administration. Until human nature. shall..be. changed by some miracle there will always be the possibility of including among the ficto!s of the great machine made necessary hy such a statute some individuals whose fidelity to the serv- ice 1s overshadowed by ‘a ‘desire for gain or for the acguirement gf.political prestige. The most honest commissioners in the world will always have to cohtend more or less with this evil, gnd the ,present com- mission is giving good earnest of its Inten- tion to compel a decent admmistration of the law by Its action in the. regently-dis- covered casé’at Erle, Pennsylvania, where, It is alleged, the-seeretary-of-tire local ex- amining board furnished an incompetent epplicant fora position with the questions that were to be asked him, thus enabling him to secure outside aid prior to the ex- amination and to make an extraordinarily high percentage...The,secretary of-the local beard has been discharged and is subject to fine and imprisonment, but the national commission seems now disposéd fo be some- what lenient. The severe handling of this case might be of great benefit to the service. To make an example of the wrong-doer at Erle might go far toward deterring other evasions or violations of the law elsewherc. The civil service law 1s too good a thing to be spoiled by dishonesty. —__+ + +____ Mojor Knight's Transfer. Major Knight of the Engineer Corps has been long enough in charge of the Wash- ington Aqueduct to démonstrate his entire fitness for that. duty, and it is unfortunate for Washington that his own merits now warrant and thé exigencies of the service demand his transfer to Willett’s Point. From Major Knight's point of view, of course, the change is a desirable one, as it gives him work that will perhaps. be more congenial, and as it indicates a recognition of his ability: by ‘the chief’ of’ engineers. The Washington Aqueduct. may not be compared as a field for progressive scien- tifle werk from: which-a man can make a reputation with the school of instruction at Willett’s Point; and nobody will be disposed to blame Major. Knight tf he should show a preference for the latter. Yet the matter of supplying such a great city as Wash- ington with water is by.no means a trifling problem, and is worthy of the application of the best minds. It is fortunate that the city will g2t the benefit of Major Knight's judgment in the matter of the test of the long-useless aqueduct tunnel, which he will complete before leaving this station. What- ever bis recommendations, it is safe to say that they will comfiand the confidence of a majority of the, people of the District, as they will certainly be based upon the best of information derived’ from actual ob- servation. oe —_-__+ +2 ____ It will be seen. from the annual report of the inspector of gas and meters that there is more or less of truth in the gen- eral supposition that gas meters give the company the benefit of doubt in the mat- ter of measuring the illuminating material. Out of 2,713 meters inspected, 249 regis- tered fast, or in favor of the company, against 61 that registéred slow, against the company. The inspector examined 580 meters that were complained of by con- sumers and ofthis‘ number 238 registered fast and 69 registe slow. While these figures show that re is no great per- centage of fauky-meters, yet the bulk of the error is in the interest of the com- pany, and this shows that there ts always a need of strict and rigid inspection such as it is probable the present administra- tion of the local oftice assures. $0 = In giving New York the cold shoulder and devoting its attention exclusively to Brook- lyn, the earthquake. may have been impelled by a desire to show the trolley system that it has some rivalry’as' ‘4 mortal terror. —_12 +20 __ One hundred and one men divided their time today between working on the city post office building.and peeping across the way to read the yacht-race bulletins on ‘The Star’s window. ca —— 08+ Perhaps Col.

THE WEEK. Labor Day was celebrated generally throughout the country Monday; the only unpleasantness was at Philadelphia; the at- tempt of an expressman to drive through the parade of the Coat Pressers’ Union caused a fight. Experiments made at the proving grounds at Indian Head show that the battleship Iowa will keep out projectiles of the best twelve-inch gun afloat. Con- troller Bowler of the Treasury Department Promulgated his decision in the now -cele- brated sugar bounty decisions. He holds that as controller he has jurisdiction to pass upon the claims for sugar bounties and also holds that that part of the act of Congress making an appropriation for the payment of sugar bounty claims is unconstitutional. The trial was begun in San Francisco of Theodore Durrant. for the murder of Blanche Lamont; District Attorney Barnes made the opening state- ment. The United States steamship At- lanta was put out of commission at the New York navy yard preliminary to ex- tensive repairs. Secretary Herbert has or- dered a court-martial to try Col. James Forney of the marine corps. Dr. J. H. Fraker of Kansas City, whose family had just been awarded $45,000 life insurance for his supposed death, was found near Duluth, Minn. A wild locomotive dashed into a Coney Island train filled with excursionists; one person was killed and twenty-five injured. Gen. Cop- pinger, who commanded the military expe- dition to the Jackson’s Hole country, said the Indians were not to blame; he sub- mitted his report to Secretary Lamont. The sixth annual convention of the Nation- al Association of Letter Carriers was held in Philadelphia, and the question of sala- ries, uniforms and hours of work were discussed. The Ohio Wool Growers’ Asso- ciation, in convention in Columbus, urged the Fifty-fourth bios goss to pass legisia- tion favorable to wool protection. A disas- trous fire broke out in Boston on pier 1, East Boston; the loss will reach $300,000. Thomas Develson’s Sons, carpet weav- ers, in. Philadelphia, signed the scale; tne surrender of this firm ends the great strike, which kept about 8,000 workmen and a dozen big mills idle. The court-martial of Capt. George W. Sumner of the cruiser Columbla was begun at the Brooklyn navy yard. The deaths of the week included ex-United States Senator J. S. Lewis of Virginia, William C. Belcher, one of the most prominent lawyers in California; Charles Anderson, ex-governor of Ohio, and Gen. A. V. Kautz, retired. Foreign. Parliament has been prorogued until No- vember 10. A Nihilist tried to explode a bomb in De Rothschilds’ banking house In Paris. The leader of the Ku-Cheng riots, in which a number of Amer- ican and English missionaries were killed, has been arrested, together with 150 other Chinamen implicated in the massa- cra. Editor Pfund of the Vorwaerts ot Berlin was arrested on the charge of in- sulting the emperor. It was reported that the Formosan insurgents are making pro- er against the Japanese. The Spanish governmente agreed to settle the Mora rics in Washington on the 15th. A trades union congress opened at Cardiff, with 344 delegates in attendance. It és stated that the Japanese government has contracted with a shipbuilding firm at Glasgow for the con- struction of five warships, the cost of which will be aearly £5,000,000. Pillsbury, the American player, won first prize in the international chess tournament. Sven Loven, the distinguished Swedish natural- ist, is dead, at the age of elghty-seven years. . In the District. Labor day was celebrated Monday by the District workingmen; a parade in which from five to six thousand men participated marched through the streets amid great enthusiasm; resolutions condemnatory of the imprisonment of Eugene V. Debs were adopted. The District Commissioners signed the agreement with Contractor Warfield for garbage disposal for a period of four years and eight months by the cremation process; the Commissioners waived their demand for the adoption of @ certain style of furnace; the citizens of South Washington filed a protest against the establishment of a crematory at the feot of South Capitol street. The local German-American societies celebrated Sedan day in an appropriate manner Mon- day night. The Antt-Saloon League issued an appeal to the citizens urging them not to sign petitions of saloon keepers for new licenses. The cornerstone of the new Sa- maritan Temple was laid Monday. Rich- ard H. Sylvester, one of the editors of the Washington Post, died Sunday. Samuel York AtLee, one of Washington's oldest citizens, died Tuesday. George McIntire, an aged man, was killed at Langdon by a railroad train and a verdict of accidental death was rendered. Silsby & Co. and King & Co., firms of brokers, made assign- ments. The fence around the Congres- sional Liorary building was sold, and pre rations were begun for the beautification of the park surrounding that building. Maj. Jonn G. D. Knight, engineer corps, was relieved from duty in charge of the Washington aqueduct, and upon the com- pletion of his present work of testing the tunnel will take charge of the school of engineers at Willett’s Point, N. ¥. Com- plaint was made by the authorities of the Navy Department to the District Commis- sioners that the sewer discharging into the Eastern Branch at 6th street southeast is the cause of unwholesome conditions in that vicinity and of great sickness at the Washington navy yard. J. Nota McGill assumed charge of the office of register of wills. An order was issued by Department Commander Anderson of the local G. A. R. court-martialing Commander George H. Boston of Morton Post. The rifle team representing the District National Guard at Sea Girt, N. J., won the championship of the United States by breaking the rec- erd and recovering the Hilton trophy that twice before has been In the possession of the District team; the rifle team of the ergineer corps of the District took first place in the interstate regimental match, thus securing for final possession the bronze horse offered as a trophy in that competition; preparations were made at Washington for an enthusiastic reception of the victorious marksmen. —___+ e+_____ SHOOTING STARS.
