+ THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. PRIDAY..................April 24, 1896, CROSBY S. NOYE: Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation muck mere thin the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7In order to avoid delays, én 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. Further Action Necessary. The friends of Cuba in Congress would do well to take note just now of a few very in facts. Nothing has come of the concurrent reso- Icttons passed by an overwhelming ma- jority in both hovses according to the tn- sorgents’ belligerent rights and requesting the President to open negotiations with secure the Independence of Cuba. Nothing will come of them. The Presi- dent is believed to be in communication with the Spanish authorities on the subject of the revolution, but not fn the line of the suggestions of Congress. He is reported to be urging upon Spain the inauguration of so-called reforms in Cuba, and to be hearkening with approval to a repetition of Spain's old broken promises on the sub- ject. Thet is worse than a useless pro- ceeding. It is at once a violation of the express wishes of the people of the United States, and an abandonment of the people of Cuba in their hour of need. It ought to be stopped. The session is rapidly drawing to a close. May 1S is proposed for adjournment. That is early, but June 1 fs a probable day. There ought to be no hurry, but the more active of the politicians are anxious to shut up legislative shop and go uninter- Tuptedly about the presidential busines: And when that ts once begun It will over- shadow everything else, foreign or domestic, confined within a small space for lack of material upon which to feed. This, he as- serted, would be the case with the post- office building, although when he said so he knew that there will be within easy reach of a burning match but beyond the reach of the fire department thousands upon thousands of feet of pine, covered on the inside with a thin coating of plaster held in place by wire lathing. The conten- tion that such construction is fire-proof is simply absurd; no fire insurance company in the world but would disagree with the altogether remarkable utterance of the gov- ernment’s chief of architecture. A few days since The Star reprinted the Atkin son regulation as to “slowly-combustible’ construction. Everybody in the building and fire-insurence businesses knows Mr. Edward Atkinson, the Boston expert. A slowly-combustible rcof is, in his opinion— and that fs the opinion of practically every first-class architect and builder in the coun- try—flat and made of heavy timbers and planking and covered with gravel or metal; to which is added this proviso: “No wooden mansard or French roofs allowed, as they are regarded as ‘lumber yards up out of reach of water,’ furnishing so much addi- tional material for the fire to feed on, as well as greatly increasing the risk of fire from adjoining property.” The post-office is, therefore, not even slowly combustible, so it cannot possibly be regarded as fire- proof by anyone who has had building ex- perience or who knows the meaning of plain English terms. It is extremely amusing to note one other feature of the defense. Mr. Aiken was much concerned because a fire- proof roof would add $35,000 to the cost of the building, would delay the construction six months, and compel the government to spend $7,000 additional for rented quarters for officials who ought to be housed in the post-office building. This suddenly-developed anxiety to hasten the construction and to save some of the government money which is being invested in rented buildings verges on the comical. Action on this matter by the House com- mittee is to be delayed for at least a week, and the chairman of the committee has ex- pressed himself as rather inclined to let the present roof stay on.

He has not Vanderbilt's famous View of the people, but in this affair he acts on it. Should this be permitted?

It has the i the votes. The matter need not otracted diseussion. It need not go teyond a plain declaration of fac But it should go that far. It may be true, as suggested in some qtarters, that the President would veto t resolution of import similar to that the concurrent resolutions he is ignor- ing. But why not formally and openly aud explicitly put him on record? At least, why not pass a resolution reciting the text of the concurrent resolutions, and requestin the President, if it cannot get his conseat to act in accordance with the sentiment contained in them, to take no ection at all. Certain it Is that the wishes of the people of the United States are well understood about this business, and the Infiuence of their government ought not to be exercised to defeat the aspirations of a neighboring people, with whom they sym- pathize, to set up an independent govern- ment of their own. — The Highway Act. Upon a necessarily hasty examination of yesterday's decision the main pcint of dif- ference between the Court of Appeals and Judge Cox in their respective opinions con- cerning the highway act Beems to turn upon the relation of the inoperative parts of the act to the law as a who'e. \lge Cox was of the opinion that the in- jauses or tions were In- tts of the act, and that, lacking whole law was void. The Court of Appeals finds portions of the law in- cperative, but sees its way clear to sep- arate them and leave the remainder of the law In such shape as to be capable of en- forcement It would seem that under the decision of the Court of Appeals as well as that of Cox amendatcry legislation will be ‘ary to get the highway act in satis- factory working order. If after thorough examination of the decision of the Court of Appeals there is no appeal from it by either sidg, the work, both of amending and enforcing the highway act, should be promptly and vigorously pushed. —— +++ Help the Suffering Armenians. The people of the United States cannot €irectly bring about a cessation of Turkish cruelty in Armenia. The administration 1s unconcerned in the matter, but if the ad- ministration were interested and energetic, little more could probably be accomplished. Fully convinced that national intervention cannot now materialize, a considerable rumber of the philanthropic have contrib- uted money and other needed supplies to be €istributed among the wretched survivors Miss Barton and some of her most active assistants In the Red Cross Society. A great of good has already been done but there remain many opportunitie to alleviate misery. These, however, be neglected unless generous Americans come to the rescue. Mi are admirable and they lose nothing of thetr force in application, but they must secon collapse unless cash—good American cash in sufficient quantity—is forwarded to Red Cross headquarters. > ee The car fenders used on the Metropolitan Ccmpany’s Ninth street Iime cost a con- siderable sum of money, but they are ain- doubtedly worth more than they cost. One of the combinations of steel and rope last evening saved the life of a two-year- old Ittle one who had strayed on the tracks, and that one rescue justifies all the expense incurred in the work of fender- equipment. Barton's plans ——____+e. _______ What is a “Fireproof” Rooft Architects and builders who are worthy of membership in those important profes- sions will find It dificult to refrain from laughter and sarcastic comment when they read of the defense of the wooden roof, made today by the Supervising Architect of the Troasury In the presence of the House Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds. Mr. Afken insisted that the post-office roof was fire-proof, although it was not being built of non-combustible material. He ad- mitted that if he was going to do the thing over again he would not do what has been and is being done with his own knowledge and consent, but would use tron and terra- cotta in place of wooden sheathing with slate on the cutside and plaster on the in- aida The term “fire-proof,” according to Mr. Aiken, may properly be applied to a structure where a conflagration would be much to know that the Island Republic had b overthrown by Minister Willis and that Mrs. Dominis was once more upon the throne; he might be deiighted to hear that Ambassador Bayard had completed negotiations with the combined kingdoms of Europe fo bring about a third-term elec- tion and its logical sequence of an unlim- ited dictatorship; he would, of course, be charmed to know that through the efforts the administration Spain had once more triumphed over liberty-secking Cuba. Tc the expert and enthusiastic fisherman such happenings would, however, be trivial so long as the fish are biting fast. —— There was really no reason why the State Department should deny that it had censured Minister Wilis for annoying the Hawaiian government. Everybody knows that In doing what he could to make the Hawaiian republic uncomfortable Minister Willis only obeyed orders. ————__ + «+ —____ If the arbitration conference had only remained In session a day or two longer it might have figured out a practical and harmless substitute for inkstands and sperge cups as features of Congressional disagreements. ——_~+4-____ Cuba can be depended upon to discreetly refrain from completing her part of the transaction by which a cessation of hos- tilities will be exchanged for reforms until Spain has delivered the goods.

Against Coast Defenses. “It is perfectly fascinating,” Maud ex- claimed, “to read about the proceedings of Congress.” “I suppose it Is Interesting,” Mamle an- swered, with a sigh. “But it's rather hard to understand.” “Yes. But that's where the enjoyment ccmes. You find out so many things. I never realized until a short time ago how greatly we are in need of coast defenses.” “I don’t think we need them at all,” Mamie replied, with emphasis. “Why, of course we do.” “I know better. A brake is only in the way. If you come to a hill so steep you are afraid to coast {t with one foot on the front tire, the only thing to do ts to get off your bicycle and walk.” And Maud admitted that this was a view of the subject that had not been presented to he: Retaliation. “Tis very sad,” he sald, “to see How science curbs each ‘pian, And puts a check upon the glee Of every prudent man.
