GOOD MISSIONARY WORK ACCOMPLISHED The Board of Trade Shows Up the Anacostia Marshes. APPROPRIATIONS NEEDED Sa eS Some good missionary work was done last Saturday afternoon by the committee of rivers and harbors of the local board of trade with the similar committee of the House. The Anacostia flats were the par- ticular subject of investigation, and the navy yard tug Triton was the means of communication with these malodorous marshes. The object of the trip was to ex- plain in a satisfactory manner to the Con- gressmen the real necessity for the grant- ing of a generous appropriation for the com- mencement of this long-delayed work,which it has been pointed out by the best of loeal scientific authorities should be undertaken at once in the interest of the good health of the District, particularly that section lying along the shores of the old Eastern branch. In the arnual report submitted to the chief of engineers by Maj. Charles E. L. B. Davis, in charge of the local harbor work, attention was called to this situation, with especial reference to the continual obstrac- tion of the channel to the navy yard and its tortuous and difficult character. He es- timated that for $636,000 he could dredge a channel 24 feet deep by 200 feet wide from the mouth of the Anacostia to the nav: yard bridge, with the channel! widened with reduced depth to 1,00) feet, as the demands of commerce might require. He also planned that there should be a basin 400 feet wide and 24 feet deep in front of the navy yard, and froposed that the dredged material should be deposited on the flats of the river, which would thus be reclaimed from ov. flow at high tide. He asked that an appro- priation of $200,000 might be made to com- mence the work this year. The Estimate Not Submitted. Gen. Craighill submitted the cutlines of Maj. Davis’ plan and quoted his estimate of the entire cost, but failed to ask for the ap- propriation of $200,000 for the current year. This omission confronted the House com- mittee on rivers and harbors when that item was reached in the consideration of the ap- propriation bill, and the first impression was that this work could not be regarded as very necessary. In order to persuade the mem- bers of the committee to the contrary, the expedition of Saturday was arranged by Chairman Charles B. Church, chairman of the board of trade committee on harbor im- provements. The na’ yard officials, who are most deeply interested in the project. inasmuch as the present channel to the yard is exceedingly dangerous, gladly gave the use of the Triton, and Mr. Church furnished all the necessary accompaniments of such journey. It was a cold, raw day, and the trip was rot the most comfortable that might be im- egined, but the explorers managed to find warm places here and there around the boat and got out of the cutting wind as much as possible. The best of spirits prevailed, and there s na complaining. In the party nator George, chairman of the select commiitee on the improvement of the Poto- mac river; Representatives Hooker, Her- enson, Towne, Walker, Dovener, i McCulloch, Cooper of Wisconsin, Lester and Berry—more than a majority of the rivers and harbors commit- tee of the House; Commissioners Ross, Truesdell and Powell; Messrs. C. B. Church, B. H. Warner, John B. Wight, Frank Hume, 'T. A. Lambert, Randall Hagner, Tra L. Jeffords, Thos. W. Smith, W. Frizzell, J. Harrison Johuson, W. A. H. Church ind John B. Duncklee, and Maj. Charles Allen, United States corps of engineers, now in charge of the work, he having succeeded Major Davis on this station this winter. At Low Tide. The tug left Stevenson’s wharf, at the feot of 7th street, at about 1:45 o'clock. Luncheon was served as the boat lay at the wharf, thus giving stray members of the party time to get aboard, and then th was headed for the tidal outlet, at the e: ern end of the Long bridge. This run up the Washington channel gave the committee a good view of the results of liberal appropria- tions and intelligent performance of river and harbor work, the channel being deep and clear, even though the tide was very low. The trip had been so timed as to reach the navy yard wharf, the end of the route, at the ebb, so as to ‘show the flats in the Eastern branch at their worst. When the tug had‘all but run her nose into the masonry of the outlet gates she was turned and steamed down the channel again, swinging around the point of the flats and giving a good illustration of the need of a ilitle more dredging in the main river and of a good deal of work in the branch. The turning buoy is quite far down stream, a long bar having been formed by the deposits from the two streams, The Triton was then sent up to within a stone's throw of the Aqueduct bridge. This gave a splendid view of the low grounds on the Virginia side of the river, contrasting strongly with the neat wall of the reclaimed flats. The crows and gulls were having a feast on these uncovered flats and indicated the filth that daily accumulates there as a result of the present condition of the 17th street sewer. The Crooked Long Bridge. At Long bridge the tug was forced out of her straight course in order to get clearly through the draw, that antique structure having been built in a haphazard fashion at an angle to the current of the river. The attention of the Representatives was called to the dilapidated condition of the bridge and the obstruction that it presents to the free flow of the water at all times, and of the ice in times of freshet and flood. The occasion was improved by the local people for the delivery of arguments in favor of legislation that will force the railroad com- eee to contribute to the cost of a modern ridge that reduces the danger of inunda- tion to a minimum, and, to judge from the comments made by the Congressmen, it was plain that a most favorable impression had been created. At the Aqueduct bridge the opportunity was seized to direct the notice of the legis- lators to the ceffer dam that now surrounds the weak pier, and then the tug was turned and the course was retraced. Instead of turning directly around the point of the flats, the Triton went down nearly to Alex- andria, while the citizens and Major Allen explained the soundings of the lower chan- nel, At Half Speed. The tug had to be slowed down to half speed when the’ Anacostia channel was reached on the return trip. Then all of the Representatives were summoned on deck to witness the slow and wonderful course of a naval vessel to the greatest gun fac- tery in the world. On either side the flats rose black and reeking above the surfac 5 dotted with crows and gulls from other regions, and ducks and geese from the shanties-aJong the banks. At the mouth of the James Creek canal, alongsido of one of Uncle 's military posts, the odors made the tourists stagger and scurry for shelter. Then the long, low stretches of river front were passed, acre after acre of useless land, covered half the time with water, and soisoriag: the air during the remainder. ‘he channel was crooked and shallow. The tug in less skillful hands would have gone aground again and again, but the Triton is now practically the sole member of the Anacostia fleet, and her trips up and down this snake-like water course are frequent enough to give her a perfect familiarity with its peculiarities. One of the members said that it was like navigating the bayous of Florida, where even a half-grown alli- gator gets rheumatism from twisting @round trying to keep from running @ground. In Other Days. Mr. Frank Hume called attention to the fact that it was distinctly within his recol- lection that the U. S. frigate Minnesota, at that time one of the largest men-of-war in the world, was launched from the navy yard and made her way safely to the sea. This started a flow of reminiscences, and as a distinct contrast to the existing con- ditions, it was shown how, in the early days of the national capital, full-rigged ships sailed proudly to the head waters of the Anacostia, near Bladensburg. Chairman Hooker and Senator George were stationed in the pilot house with Maj. Allen and several of the best posted mem- bers of the board of trade, and they were deeply impressed with the needs of the sit- uation. Hooker admitted that the con- d:tions were wretched, and gave it as his view that the work could not be done too scon. Representative Stephenson declared that his plan would be to build a wall all along the banks of the channel, from the mouth of the river to the Navy Yard bridge, at least, and then throw over into the space beyond the ex- cavated material, thus filling up these areas and raising them far above tide levels. Reports and plans were at hand in plenty to explain exactly all about the pro- pesed improvement, and when the party landed at the navy yard, shortly before 4 o'clock, there was no dissent that the Ana- costia is an object worthy of immediate congressional attention. —————— SOVEREI TALKS, His Comment o: the Growth of the R.U. General Master Workman James R. Sov- ereign of the Knights of Labor, who has come to Washington from his home at Sul- phur Springs, Ark., to attend to some mat- ters before Congress, and elsewhere, in which the order of which ie is the head, ts interested, took a gloomy view when talk- ing yesterday to a Star veporter, about the outlook for workingmen. He said: “There foes not seem to be any revival of the in- dustries.

Debs, said in reference 10 the mevement which Mr. Debs is at the present time bending all his energies to promote: “While 1 have had no conversation with Debs for several months, I feel warranted in sayin from the information that has reached m that the American Railway Union is a and rapidly growing organization. as recently changed from an open to a secret order. “The A. R. U. and the Knights of Labor ure affillated bodies, and the latter has warmly seconded the efforts which have been made recently in the east to institute branches of the A. R. U. there. These efforts have been very successful, and had the east been as well organized at the time of the Pullman strike as it is now. the managers of the various transportation ines would have experienced much more difficulty even in the west than they had. The American Railway Union is the nat- ural result of the dissolution of the old line brotherhoods, all of which practically died from willful isolation. The A. R. U. w has a membership of not less than 0, and its rolis are constantly grow- ing. There are twenty-nine organizers, and all are working hard. The union has ene- mies among the old organizations of rail- way employes, many of whom do not real- ize the surrounding conditions and what a great power is against them in the Gen- 1 Managers’ Association. ‘Many of the railroad men of the present time do three times as much work as thi did a few years ago, but there are a few who do less than formerly. In the former e to be found the engineers—loco- being constructed on almost e tirely different p ples from what they ere built fifteen years ago. Among the latter are the firemen. When I was a fire- man in ISSI, I had not only to keep up the steam, but also to apply the brakes on the engine and tender. Now the fireman has scarcely anything to perform pxcept to at tend to his fires, while the engineer does about all the other work connected with tie locomotive that is required.”” eign said he had heard that Mr. would visit this part of the country but he hardly thovght the latt his time is so his engagements soon, y would be able to do so, fully occupied in meeting in the south and wes —_———.__ MADE TO SETTLE. ERE Mme. Bernhard(s Mandgers Sued by Sixteen Irate Supers. As stated in The Star Saturd. the man- agers for Mme. Bernhardt were made the defendants in a number of suits, charging violation of contracts. Suits were brought by sixteen of the professional “supers,” who. are prepared to play the mob, the army or the chorus at any time, on any stage, or in any language. They claimed that their services were engaged to support the great French actress, but at the last moment a lot of Columbian University boys, who wanted the fun and the ex- perience, volunteered their services for nothing. The average super is not ov burdened with wealth after a week's en- gagement, but-the offer of the siudents eant a still further saving to the man- agers of the show, and it was accepted. The result was that the regulars got “de trow down,” as they say at the stage en- trance. They engaged a lawyer and brought suit against the divine Sarah to recover what they would have earned if the verbal contracts made the week before she came had been carried out. The total amount involved in the sixteen suits was not considerable, but each case had to be fought out separately, and Justice Scott’s court was kept busy until a late hour in the evening. The supers won their conten- tion, and Mme. Bernhardt’s backers had to settle before they could remove the belong- ings of the company. —.__ Im the Churches. Rev. Rodney Smith, more commonly known as “Gypsy” Smith, began yesterday a two weeks’ revival service in the Metro- politan M. E. Church, and the opening meetings were attended by crowds.

The men’s meviing of the Y. M. C. A held yesterday afternoon in Foundr Chureh was addressed by Rey. Coryden Miller of Milwaukee, a venerable ministe seventy-seven ye: of age, who is star ing on a missionary visit to Venezuela. Dr. Talmage, who has been confined to his apartments for the past ten days with the grip, is said to be improving, although the inclement weather jterday prevented his venturing out of doo: it was a mat- ter of considerable disappointment to Dr. Talmage not to be able to preach yester- day, for it is the first time in his minis- terial career that he has missed two Sun- days in succession.

To the Editor of The Evening Star I should like, through your valuable paper, to correct an error made by your esteemed correspondent in the issue of Friday, 13th instant. “L” seems to think that the statue of Marquette was placed in the Capito! because Marquette was a Catholic priest. The inhabitants of Wisconsin are not entirely nor princi- pally Catholic; therefore, they have not so honored Marquette because he was @ Catholic priest, but because he did render them (and other parts of the northwest) signal and valuable political service, in his discoveries, explorations, maps and memoranda, which led to the settlement of this part of the country. The fact of his being a Catholic priest, and a man whose principal aims vere those of religion, did not, in their Judgment, dishonor or in any Way interfere with the political service rendered. The case of Roger Williams is arallel. His motives were also religious. The service of a civil character which he rendered was settie- ment, instead of exploration, discovery and map-making. “ further etates that Roger Wiliams made his colony his home, and died there. Marquette came here a young man, spent his whole energy in the north- west, and died there. It is true, he was not ten years in thic country, but he was here considerably longer than is required to become a United States citizen, although for obvions reasons neither he nor Roger Will- jams took out naturalization papers. The wording of the law in regard to this mat- ter is unhappy, in that the late narrow construction placed upon it excludes the statues of Marquette, Roger Williams and Winthrop and the busts of Kosciusko and Pulaski from Statuary Hall. That the lat- ter four were accepted and remained without comment until the arrival of the Marquette statue, proves that heretofore a Wider construction was placed on the law, which did not intend to exclude those who had rendered this country some valuable service and had died prior to 1776. As to the garb, the law says nothing. If Massa- chusetts should desire to so honor 18 who had rendered her most valuable sery lee, and who always wore the garb of a Puritan, or if Pennsylvania should desire © to honor one who wore the Quaker garb, in the name of ail that is honest and true, let the statue be a true image of the man as he appeared in Nfe! And if it is fitting that Wisconsin should honor the great ex- plorer of the northwest, let the statue rep- resent the man as he was. FAIR PLAY. Se Panishment of Holmes’ Senior Counsel Lawyer Wm. A.
