The advance sheets of one of the most valuable publications ever issued by the government have come from the public printer, and the first volume will be ready for delivery in a short time. This publica- tion is a compilation of the messages and state papers of the Presidents of the United States from 1789 to 1897, published by authority of Congress. It will contain historical matter of priceless value, some of which are not on record in the archives of the government, together with the secret proceedings of the Senate,-now for the first time disclosed. It_is well known that Representative Richardson of Tennessee, chairman of the House committee on printing of the last Congress, has been engaged for more than a year in compiling the annual, special and veto messages, inaugural aadresses and proclamations of the Presidents frum the beginning of the government dewn to the close of the present administration, under a resolution of the Fifty-third Congress. He has the first volume now in the bindery at the government printing office, and it will be delivered the latter part of the pres- ent week. Volume I will include the first twenty-eight years of our history as a na- tion, that 1s, from 1789 to 1817, Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison. Mr. Richardson has given a great deal of time, labor and attention to this work. It has been purely a labor of love on his part, as there is no provision for compensation. He has devoted about a year to its compila- tion, and has the copy ready for the printer covering the period to Grant's ad- ministration. : ‘The Senate has recently removed the in- junction of secrecy from all executive mes- sages since Johnson's term closed, in order that Mr. Richardson might have access to them for this work. These documents, of cecurse, have never been published, and will be read with interest by students of his- tory, and will disclose many highly inter- esting matters in connectloa with that im- Popular-Priced Stationers.

Mr. Richardson has instituted a new de- parture in government publications by in- serting illustrations of historic value. The steel portrait of each President will appear in its proper place, together with a bio- graphical sketch prepared by Mr. Richard- son. The government printer has put forth unusual efforts to make ‘the work superior in appearance and style to the ordinary government publications. The work will have especial value in that it will contatn all the proclamations of the Presidents. It is a singular fact that the government archives do not possess these proclamations. They are not in the State Department, where they might be supposed to be on file, and Mr. Richardson has been compelled to get them from the statutes at large, from contem»oraneous newspaper publications, and from historical orks such as “Spark's Washington.” SPECIAL NOTICES.

M’KINLEY AND THE A. P.A. His Friends Here Satisfied With the Order's Opposition. They Think the Association Managers Have Overestimated Their Strength. The friends of Mr. McKinley in this city are feeling very well satisfied with the way the A. P. A. opposition is working. They have long feared a clash with this powerful organization, and now that it has come, they are congratulating them- selves that it has developed in a way which they believe will relieve it from the force that many would suppose it would carry. The A. P. A. circular against McKinley opposes him cn the ground that he hae appointed Roman Catholics to office when governor of Ohio. It Goes not charge thay he favors sectarian appropriations of any kind or has violated any principle of the A. P. A. except in the appointment of Catholics to office, if that be a principle of the order. The McKinley managers had held humerous consultations regarding the or- der and the attitude that Mr. McKinley should bear toward it. They have proposed to keep A. P. A.ism out of the campaign. They claim that the attitude of the repub- licans in Congress on the subject of sec- tarlan appropriations has been sufficient to indicate, without the possibility of a quib- ble, that the republican party is unalter- ably opposed to any union of the church and state in any form whatever. If the A. Pp. A. management had desired to know McKinley’s attitude on this question, it is said there would have been no difficulty about having them informed on the sub- ject. Its Strength Overestimated. The McKinley men here believe that the A. P. A. managers have overestimated their strength, and have interpreted the opposition in Congress to sectarian ap- propriations as being A. P. A.ism pure and simple. There is no doubt that the republi- cans are almost a unit against Congress eppropriating any money to be expended by sectarian institutions, except in cases of emergency, in which event the appropria- tions are to be expended under government supervision and control. But many men in Congress have entertained this bellef, while they have no sympathy with that extreme form of A. P. A.ism which demands that the fact that a man is a Catholic should debar him from the privilege of nolding public office. This is what it is thought the A. P. A.'s overlooked. The McKinley managers complain that the A. P. A. managers took the action shown in their public circular not because’ they had been given a cold shoulder hy the Ohio candidate, but because the McKin- ley men failed to go to the A. P. A. It was a question which of the two should have gone to the other with friendly overtures, and the McKinley people didn’t recognize any duty on their part to “see” the A. P. A. managers. Not Many Will Be Influenced. It is not believed by McKinley men that any considerable number of men will be influenced to oppose their candidate be- cause of the grounds on which the A, P. A. has placed its opposition to him. Mc- Kinley men say they believe that any pres- idential candidate who should be charged, on good grounds, with favoring sectarian appropriations would have no chance of re- ceiving the republican nomination, ard if nominated could not be elected. ‘They be- lieve that that is the only issue involved in A. P. A. principles before the coun this time which receives the suppo: liberal-minded men. They will defy A. P. A. to show any reason for their op- Position to McKinley, except the one that Catholics had been appointed to office by him,and they do not fear any considerable disaffection in the republican ranks on that account. They believe the A.P.A. managers have been overhasty in issuing their cir- cular, and they would not be surprised if there should be a rebellion in the crder itself against their course. GARBAGE CANS. More . Cases’ Brought Into Court ‘Today. Sanitary inspectors connected with the health department appeared in the Police Court today cnd made complzint against a number of persons for alleged violation of the law relating to garbage cans. Inspector Crawford appeared against Mr. Marshall Kimball of 21% Elm street, Le Droit Park, because at the time the inspec- tion was made the lid of the receptacle was misplaced. Mr. Kimball, who is severty years old, said that this was the first time he had ever been charged with an offense. He said he had always made an ¢ffort to comply with the law, and cn the occasion charged the lid was only a few fcet from the metallic receptacle. In the wintertime the garbage at his house is burned, and he made com- piaint that the garbage collector had not called at his house for four months. He algo said he had made from twelve to fif- teen complaints to the health office about nuisances ard had received no responses. Mr. Kimball wanted te know if there was ary law against burning garbage, and Judge Kimball told him he knew of none, unless the odcr from the burning becomes a nuisance. Sentence in the case was suspended. Jchn Faut, Charles Steele, Mrs. Kenny they had made an effort to comply with the law ,and their personal bonds were taken. Mrs. Sarah Pender of Carroll street, who neglected to get a can, paid a fine of 35. Adam Meinberg, one of her neighbors, had an old dish pan which he used as a gar- bage receptacle. He had bought several cans and they had been stolen. He was fined $5 and the court advised him to buy a new can. ee TO REST IN ARLINGTON. . Proposed Removal of Gen. Gresham's Remains From Chicago. From the Chicago Tribune. It has been decided to change the place of burial of Secretary Gresham from Oak- woods, in this city, to Arlington, at the na- tional capital, and the necessary applica- tion will be made at once to the Secretary of War. Some time before his death General Gresham expressed to a number of his friends his earnest wish that he might rest at last among his old and loved comrades in arms in the beautiful national cemetery at Arlington. The sentiment had taken a strong hold upon his mind and heart, but the end came without final arrangements having been perfected according to his de- sire. Mrs. Gresham, however, has not for- gotten her distinguished husband’s wish to make his last résting place among the na- tion’s honored dead, and has decided to make the change. Otto Gresham, her son, agrees with his mother, and, in her illness, is authority for the statement that his father’s desire will be complied with. 0% A Double Turret Model. A full-sized model of the double turrets de- signed for use on the battle ships Kearsarge and Kentucky is now on exhibition in the skip house at the Washington navy yard. Its immense size and novel appearance make it an object of general attention. The lower turret is intended to carry thirteen- inch guns and the upper turret to contain guns of eight-inch caliber. The double tur- ret js a new idea in naval construction, and its operation in practice will be watched with interest. —_————_+-e+_____ The President as an Arbitrator. All the papers in the claim of Italy against Colombia have been presented to President Cleveland, who was selected to arbitrate the controversy, and it is expected that his de- cision will be announced in due season. The claim is for the sum of $1,500,000, and is based on the alleged persecution of Ernesto Cerruti, Italian consular representative in Colombia, during the revolution of ten years ago. It is charged, on the other hand,, that Cerruti violated the neutrality laws and was properly punished. Mr. Calderon Carlisle represents the Colombian govérnment 4nd Messrs. F. H. Coudert and M.

Mr. Mudd Carries the Primaries Held Saturday. Indications point to the success of Mr. Sydney Mudd in the primaries held in Prince George's county Saturday.* The con- test was between Mr. Mudd and Mr. Coffin, the present representative, while in one dis- trict, Laurel, Capt. William M. Potter hada ticket In the field. The Mudd men claim to have carried Brandywine, Aquasco, Surratts, Queen Anne, Oxon Hill, Marlboro’, Bowle and Kent districts.

Gordan, Ferdinand Hail, Berda Cully and Chas. Jackson, while the Mudd delegates are Edwin B. Garges, George Holmes, ismanuel Simms, Prince EK, Stubbs and Thos. Lancaster. An extremely bitter feeling pre- vails In this district. In Laurel the con- test was between Congressman Coffin and Capt. Wm. M. Potter, formerly his private secretary. Mr. Mudd had no ticket in this district, but supported the Coffin ticket in order to kill off Capt. Potter.
