THE EVESING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more thun the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. c7 im order to avoid delays, on ac count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not he addressed to any individual connected with the oMfce, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. ‘The Memorial Bridge. Of course the. Senate will reconsider the vote by which the bill providing for a memorial bridge was passed yesterday h a proviso stipulating that the District stculd psy one-half of the cost of con- struction. Senator Blanehard has a wholly erroneons idea of the financial relations of the government to the District and he should be immediately convinced of his misconception. That, however, is another matter. The memorial bridge project has within it certain peculiar characteristics making it worthy of special study in the Iine of determining the question as to whether or not its cost should all be borne by the nation. So far as the proposed structure is memorial, a national monu- ment to the heroes of the late war, and so far as the expense of its construction Is increased by the bridge’s memorial char- acter, to that extent at the very outset the nation should bear the entire cost. The people of the District, except as na- tional taxpayers, were not charged with any part of the cost of erecting the Wash- ington monument, and they should now be exempt from any special and additional Lurden in building the memorial features bridge designed to commemorate the ds of the heroes of the republic. But In litien to its memorial characteristics the bridge will be a highway between the seat of government and the great military vation on the other side of the river. military feature is-in reality the main cause of the general approval given to the project by successive Secretaries of War, and was urged In debate yesterday by Mr. Daniel with force and reason. He further called attention to the fact that this bridge would greatly enhance the value of the government property in Virginia and would represent a material accretion of interest in case the nation should ever sell its hold- ing. Agein the burden comes squarely vpon the government, and it is only when the bridge is viewed as a mere public con- ted out, is the least s behalf, that there pssibility of establ: the a right to furce the District to re of the Then appears a ment in t ; the state of Vir- to be benefited more than the Dis- et of Columbia. Th’s state is quite as h a party to the enterprise as the Dis- trict, and if the whole cost is not to be herne by the government the state shouid with the District the rest of the A Uridge of this character would be patronized from this side more largely by 3 t people. Thus the city are still far- the other hand e traffic from Virginia would be largely if not wholiy commereial, so that a just di n of the expense would place a stiil greater share on the state than on the Dis- There is no disposition to hide the that Washington needs a fine new bridge across the Potomac. There is not a handsome structure spanning either of » rivers, and those across the Potomac at te city are disgraces. Lut the proposed memorial bridge is not a municipal struc- ture and if it should be authorized on the sent Hnes of purpose, plan, architecture 1 probabie expense in the name of equity divide between the District and the bene- ficlartes In Virginia enly the small residue i cost which remains after the nation has assumed the expense of the national fea- tures which have been indicated. And in- asmuch as Virginia may not be assessed by Congress to meet her equitable, if small, share of the expense, it is submitted that would be wise to treat the memorial $e as an exclusiveiy national structure, lto the District upon the same foot- ing as Virginia. — Free Transfers. The District committees sfbuld soon take up the matter of street railway fares and should pay particular attention to the subject of transfers. Senator McMilan has already prepared a bill looking to the m- auguration of a system giving free trans- fers over all the roads of the city. It the Ine that has long been contempla: and 1s comprehensive enough to cover the whole case. Fixing the fare for a single passenger within the District at a maxi- mum of five cents, it provides that the companies operating within this territory shall “transport each passenger by a pro- per system of transfers over such lines for ihe ngle fare paid upon the Initial line.” Tt is stipulated that the Commissioners shall prescribe the places and methods for ving such transfers, a wise provision. transfers should all be given on the and the passenger should not be ob- d to go to a stall on the street side for the fare slip. This, however, !s a detall that can probably be left with the Comm: sioners with safety. The main point is to compel the companies to issue reciprocal transfers free, and to give the citizens the benefit of the extensions for which fran- °s are granted without extra charge. It is understood that the local roads would xladly give free transfers on the basis of a flat rate of five cents. The bill introduced y Mr. McMillan, however, insists upon the i rate of six tickets for a quarter. It hits th squarely and deserves immediate consideration. +6 —__ Elsewhere In its columns The Star prints an extren interesting statement from ex-Minister Thurston of Hawaii, which throws a flood of light upon the relations of the administration and Mr. Thurston and the events which led to the latter's recall. —__—_ + +e -___ The District politicians do not have many opportunities for activity, and they are naturally disposed to make the most of them when they occur —__—__ + += Protect the Workingmen. ‘The authorities should not wait for an- other death to occur at the city post-office buikling resulting from the laek of ade- quate protective devices before compelling the contractors on that and other large Structures In this city te provide flooring and other precautionary measures that simple justice to the men working under them demands. The mew regulations about to be promulgated by the District Commissioners cover this point in a satis- factory manner and if they are thoroughly enforced there will be no cause for com- Flaint on that score fii the case of build- ings that are erected under permits from the ‘District government: There is question, however, whether the local authority in such a case extends to a public bullding such as the post-office now under con- struction, which has already been the scene of at least two fatal accidents that would doubtless have been avoided if the building had been equipped In accordance with the regulations about to be made part of the local law. The statutes give the Commis- sioners authority to make proper building. regulations and specifically declare that these regulations shall, in their operation Within the District, have the same force and effect as though enacted by Congress. This still leaves open the question of the applicability of these regulations to a pub- Hie structure which fs directly under the control of the supervising architect of the ‘Treasury. In any event, however, the treasury authorities should at once apply sueh pressure on the contractors as will force them to provide floorings beneath the ven who are working at the dizzy heights required by the present stage of the con- struction, pending the passage by Congress of a law which will leave no doubt what- ever as to the liability of employers on public works. Last August a man was killed whose life would certainly have been spared if there had been a temporary floor- ing in place and fhe department succeeded in making the contractors floor over a part of the space. This flooring has, it is un- derstood, since been removed and the mer are again exposed to the danger of Ingtant death. Let the Treasury Department move again in the matter ang it’ may pethaps save lives that are now in jeopardy. 22 Necessary Amendments, While Corgress is granting to the Mary- land and Washington Railway an extension of the construction period it would be well to add to its carter certain provisions which have recently been discovered to be necessary to prevent this road from be- coming little else than a through line to Baltimore, running trains at high speed and at grade throvgh the city streets. ‘The people living along the line of the road, it ts understcod, fear that the way traffic will ‘be sacrificed in order that the company can compete with the steam roads for the through traffic, and tney are sug- gesting that the present opportunity be ac- cepted to incorporate in the bill under con- sideration the following paragraphs: “Provided, that sald ratlway company be required to run car3 or trains for local Passengers, as often as every half hour, from 6 a.m to 10 p.m, said cars or trains to stop on signal at street crossings. “Provided further, that if trains or cars on said railway are run at a greater speed than twenty miles an hour, within the Dis- trict of Columbia, said railway shall main- tain gates and a watchman at every grade crossing over e# public highway, to the sat- isfaction of the District Commissioners.” Certainly 1f the electric line is ta compete with the steam rocds it will run cars or trains at as high speeds, and this will in- volve a great danger to te people in the city and its immediate suburbs. And as that is the obvious intent of the new cor- poration these provisions now suggested would seem to commend themselves to the approval of the Senators and Representa- tives interested in such matters. ——_+ > ____ Budding Intelligence. Gradually but surely the light of knowl- edge is penetrating the dark places and the previously unenlightened are learning (1) that the seven and a half million bond bill is by a large majority a sewer bill and not a street extension bill; and (2) that the comprehcusive sewerage plan of the board of sanitary engineers, which the bond bill is to carry into unk Hine proj- ect affecting the present city and is not at all uburban extension scheme. And with this knowledge comes to the hitherto benighted the discovery that if the bond bill is a steal and a job the thieves and jobbers are primarily the entire popu- lation of the present city of Washington to whose benefit the trunk sewer plan enures, and, secondarily, the suburban property owners whose land is to be taken in street extension, and to whom the money appro- priated for such extension will be paid. This second band of alleged robbers is loudly complaining of be!ng robbed, and is proclaiming that the steal in the affair is to be found in the virtual confiscation of its property by the government. It thus appears that everybody is the thief in the alleged steal, and where all are so reason- ably and intelligently accused, any discrim- ination among them would obviously be invidious. —__ e+__ Senator Frye‘s Able Speech, Senator Frye’s speech In the Senate yes- terday afternoon on the Armenian mas- sactes was one of the most able addresses Celivered at this session of Congress. He .inquesticnably voiced the sentiment of the American people when he called for vigor- ous action by this government to prevent further outrages upon Christianity and especially to express the resentment of the Ration at the inadequate protection afforded the American missionaries and their prop- in Armenia. It was doubtless owing to Senator Frye’s impassioned oratory that the Sepate so promptly passed the resolu- tions reported from the committee on for- cign relations declaring it to be the impera- tive duty of the powers of Europe to give immediate effect to the Berlin treaty of 1878. The resolution also stands as a warn- ing to the porte that further outrages against Americans in Armenia as well as a continuation of the horrors of massacre there will call forth the mest practical meas- ures of resentment of which this country is capable. a se ——___+«+____ Pneumatie Tires on Ambulances. The municipal authorities of Baltimore are seeking to improve the local ambulance service, which is evidently behind the times, and among the suggestions made is one that the wheels of these vehicles should bg equipped with pneumatic tires. ‘The streets of Bailimore are not so smooth as those of Washington, and such an equipment would unquestionably add great- ly to the comfort and safety of patients being conveyed to the hospitals. It might be well to try the experiment here. While the asphalt sireets give the smoothest ride possible when ordinary wheels are used the inflated rubber tire ~ would certainly add to the comfort of the sick or injured, and would reduc? the annoyance of a quick trip In a wagon to a minimum. These tires are in use on ambulances in New York and severai other large cities of the north. _—> 0» —___ It is to be hoped, just by way of encour- agement for the theory that total depravity does not exist, that the sultan’s modifica- tion of his original purpese to entirely ex- clude the people anxious to relleve the suf- fering in Armenia is not solely due to the fact that the heavy snows have so blocked the mountain passes as to make the sufier- ers inaccessible. + + + ____ The conspicuously unhappy results of young Mr. Pabst’s marriage to a woman who surpassed him both in celebrity and avoirdupois might make it desirable for the ladies now convening in this city to say a word or two to emphasize the enormity of husband-beating. ———_+ e >__—_-_ The report that President Cleveland wrote his Venezuelan message while he was duck- hunting gives the canvas-back a standing in affairs which was never expected for it even by its most ardent admirers among naturalists and gourmets. —___+ ee —___ The base ball umpire, who is necessarily unemployed at this season, might fill In his vacant time congenially by officiating as sergeant-at-arms in a District political con- vention. —_—_+ ++ —______ If the new congressman will in some cases demonstrate that he is a new kind of congressman, a certain mild inclination to consider him sportively will inevitably cease. i ctl ial ‘Unless Spain brings her Cuban crisis to a termination before long, she will be in a position to feel that the island is costing a@ good deal more than it is worth. rr S—.

THE WEEK. reo © Two opposing phases of the Monroe dec- | trine were presented fn tke Senate—one from the committee cn foreign relations fa- ‘voring 2 strong reaffirmation of the doc- trine, and another from Mr. Sewell of New Jersey urging that the dectrine had been carried so far beyond its scope as to threat- en dangerous consequences. After a stir- ring debate the Senate agreed to the con- current resolution urging decisive action by the European powers against Turkey and pledging to the President the support ef Congress in the most vigorous action he may take for the protection of Americans in Turkey and the redress for injuries to American persons or property. The Presi- dent sent tu the House his reply to the res- clution calling for information regarding the speeches delivered by Ambassador Bay- ard in England. He transmitted copies of the speeches and copies of explanatory let- ters from Mr. Bayard. No action was taken hy the President on the speeches, except to notify Mr. Bayard of the action of the House. L. Welijngton (republican) was elected United States Senator from Maryland, H. D. Money by the democrats in Mississipp!, and Messrs. Brown and Can- non by the Utah republicans. The dead- lock in the Kentucky legislature continued. The House committee on Pacific roads decided to begin hearings Monday prepara- tory to framing a plan for the adjustment of the debts cf the Central and Union Pa- cific to the government. The American Venczuelan boundary comm'ssion held its first regular meeting. At the reqvest of the commission, Secretary Olney requested Great Britain and Venezuela to furnish the commission with whatever information they may possess that will throw light up- on the boundary line dispute. The Chero- kee delegation, now in Washington, pre- sented to Congress a memorial protesting e@gainst the changes recommended by the Dawes comraission, and making @ plea for indefinite continuance of their present form of government. At Charleston Capt. Sam- tel Hughes of the steamer Laurada was acquitted, of the charge of violating the neutrakty laws. Foreign. An offensive and defensive alliance was reported to have been concluded between Russia and Turkey, The porte decided to allow Miss Clara Barton and such persons as Minister Terrell may name to distribute relief in Armenia, but refused to recognize the Red Cross Society. The British expe- ditianary force quietly took possession of Coomassie, and after a parade of the Ashan chiefs, King Prempeh descended from his high stool and shook hands with Sir Francis Scott, the British commander; the king had.apparently been drugged, and was only a puppet in the hands of his ad- visers. The Chinese government opened to foreign commerce the West river, which traverses one of the richest portions of south China. Seventy lives were lost in a theater fire in a town in South Russia. Anatole France, the French author, was elected to the academy. It was an- rounced that by treaty Madagascar had been declared a French possession. Prince Henry of Battenberg died at Cape Coast of fever contracted while on the Ashanti expedition; the other deaths included Fer- dinand Schiehau, the well-known shipbuild- er of Elbing, Germany; Cardinal Guillaume Rene Meignan, archibishop of Tours. In the District. A number of representative bodies were mn. Silver men held a conference ided to call a national conventio: be held in St. Louis the 22d of July. ions were held of the National American Woman's Suffrage Association, the Ame ican Forestry Association, the American Association of Inventors and Manufactar- ers and the Association of Marine En- gineers. Secretary Lamont transmitted to Congress the report of the board of expert engineers, which recommended the comple- tion of the Lydecker tummel. Ground south of the treasury building was selected by the commission as the site for the proposed atue to Gen. Sherman. Mr. McMillan in- troduced a bill in the Senate providing for the depressing of the tracks of the Balti- more and Potomac railroad in the city limits, and the erection of a new bridge rear the present Long bridge. M. M. Par- ker announced his withdrawal as a eandi- date for District delegate to the national republican convention. Miss Clara Barton and a staff cf Red Cross workers sailed for Armenia. The death of W. W. Upton, for- merly second controller of the treasury, oc- curred. ———~+--___ SHOOTING STARS. ond dec “Ebry ting am all right in its place,” sald Uncle Eben. “Er sha'p razzer meks ¢r man a good tahber ope minute, an’ a ter'ble tough citizen de nex’.” A Hindrance to Valor. am verwy much afwaid?’ said Willie Wishington, ‘that I shouldn't be able to go to war in case this little squabble about Venezuela should amount to ;anything serious, don't you know.” “Why, you wouldn't be scared, would you?” “I haven't gone into the mattah fah enough to consider the question of cour- wase.
