One Model Fortre: There will soon be at least one thorough- ly modefn complete fortress in this coun- try if the fortifications board can secure the assent of Congress to its plans. ‘The plan is to complete Fort Wadsworth, New York harbor, immediately, and make it a model fortress in every respect, where may be thoroughly tested all of the mod- ern scientific devices, such as range find- ers, converter boards, underground ways, telegraph and telephone systems and even theories of defense. Such of these things as work well can then be adopted in other fortifications. All of this can be done at an expense of about $20,000 in, addition to the sum already allotted for the recon- struction of Fort Wadsworth, and Con- gress will be asked to make this appro- priation. the Bass. Arrangements for Seining the Canal Are Expected to Be Com- pleted Tomorrow. Thcse who are interested in securing funds for defraying the expenses of ‘sein- ing the canal thls winter are much en- courcged by the generous subscriptions that have been received through The Star. They feel, however, that the fund should be a popular one, so far as fishermen are concerned, and urge those who do not feel eitker inclined or able to give freely not to be deterred by the numercus' five-dolfar contributions received, but to come forward promptly with their fifty-cent piéces and dollars. Views of Anglers. _ An enthusiastic fisherman said toda; “Every man who wets a line in the Poto- mac river ought to subscribe fifty cents. If he can afford the time and expense to go fishing he can afford fifty cents for this commendable object.” M>. Richard Sylvester, who is such a confirmed bass hunter, said today: ‘“‘Ang- lers, as a class, are men of thoderate means, with spare change only to buy bait. Make it fiffy cents for saving the bass.” Col. Nicholson’s Praiseworthy Policy. General Manager Nicholson of the Chesa- peake and Ohio canal is an angler himself and ne is very much Interested in the cf- forts being made to save the bass. He h: already addressed letters to persons in the company’s employ advising them against takirg bass from the canal and has given notice that persons who do take them will be prosecuted for trespass. A Policeman Frank Burrows of George- town, who is a noted bass fisherman, told a Star reporter this morning that ne thougnt the seining of the canal this winter will mean the saving of fully 1) bass: weighing a pound or more, as well as thous- ands of smalter fish. Completing the Arrangements. Froffers are being received from many professional tishermen who seine the river in and out of season of assistance in the coming Work on the canal, but none will be accepted. Be Dr. Massamore will be in Washington to- morrow, and it is expected that final ar- rangements for the seining will be com- pleted during the d: He will consult with the gentlemen here who are interested in the project, and the plans to de followed will then be drawn up and details settled, so that the work may begin at the moment considered most opportune in the very near future. ; To Save the Bans.

Monday night, probably between Z:and 5 o'clock, about the time that sneak thieves made a good haul of jewelry at the res dence of Mr. Aukam, the residence of Thos. W. Smillie, No. 1808 R street, was robbed in the same way. The entrancé was made by the use of a false key, unless the door had been accidentally left unlocked. A bed room on an upper floor was ransacked and from the bureau drawers the thieves took more than $100 worth of jewelry. The Jist of stolen property includes a large cameo breastpin, gold locket, gold brooch set with garnet, two plain gold rings, gold bracelets, scarf pin and other small articles. ~om- plaint was not made to the police until to- day, and then Detective Boardman was sent to the house to make an investigation. The robberies were evidently the work of professionals, and it is likely that the pluader is being sent to other cities. icut Republican Association elected officers for the ensuing year last night as follows: Charles W. Filer, pres- ident; Henry W. Hall, vice preside Spencer, secretary, and G .N. Stranahan, treasurer. An executive committee was ap- pointed, consisting of L. M. Penfield, J. S. A. Baker, Walter E.

Margaret Wilson, one of the prominent members of the board of regular visitors to the Police Court, paid her respects to Judge Kimball again today. “I found Margaret on h street last right,” said Policeman Cochran. “She was crying drunk, and was trying at the saloons to procure whisky for a little boy she had ith ber.” “'Tis not so,” declared Margaret. ‘He is my son, and he does not drink.” “I trust not,” remarked the court, “in view Of the terrible example you have set. When were you here last?” “About nine weeks ago,” was the reply. “What sentence did you get then?” “Five days. But, yer ‘onner, them offi- cers is prejudiced against me,” declared the woman. “It is whisk: secuting you, sion to state. not the officrs, that is per- Judge Kimball took occa- Fifteen days.” ——_ She Was Fined. For the larceny of a handkerchief from Peter H. Moore of #2 lth street Mrs. Chaney Irving, colored, was today. fined $83 by Judge Miller. It was claimed that the woman, who was employed as a servant in the family of Mr. Moore, stole a quantity of handkerchiefs, napkins and silverware, but the handkerchief first mentioned was the only article Mr. Moore identified as his property to the satisfaction of the court. The woman declared that the goods be- longed to her, and were not stolen. Castoria . For Infants and Children.

Senator Sherman, from the committee on foreign relations, has reported favorably the bill allowing Admiral T. O. Selfridge and other United States naval officers who attended the coronation of the czar last May to accept medals presented to them by the Russian government. In reporting the bill, Mr. Sherman presented a favorable recommendation from Secretary Olney, in which he said the medals were only souv- enirs of the occasion, and not decorations. In addition to Admiral Selfridge, the list includes Capt. G. H. Wadleigh, Lieutenant Commander E. H. Gheef, Paymaster J. B. Redfield, Lieut. J. J. Hunker, Surgeon D. N. Bertolette and Ensign R. L. Russell. To Amend Section 1754, Senator Mitchell of Oregon has introduced a bill in the Senate to amend section 1754 of the Revised Statutes. That section as Passed in 1865 provided that persons hon- orably discharged from the military or na- val service by reason of disability resulting from wounds or sickness incurred in the life of duty shall be preferred for appoint- ments to civil offices, provided they are found to possess the bfisiness capacity necessary for the proper discharge of the duties ot such offices. Mr. Mitchell’s amendment gives a preference to all hon- orably discharged persons from the mili- tary or naval service without regard to the reason for such discharge, provided they served ninety days or more in the war of the rebellion or in any Indian war. Mr. Mitchell supported his “bill by a brief speech, and on his motion it was referred to the committee on civil service and re- trenchment. West Point Appropriations. The bill appropriating for the West Point Military Academy for the next fiscal year has been framed by the House military committee. It carries $489,572, which is $32,241 less than the estimates, but $40,047 more than tMe total of the last act. Most ‘of the increase is for improvements in the water works. No new buildings are pro- vided for. ‘To Hear a G. A. R. Delegation. The House and Senate committees on in- valid pensions have arranged to hold a Joint meeting tomorrow to hear a dele- gation from the Grand Army of the Re- public on the subject of pension legislation. Flowers for Mr. Linton. ‘The beautiful bouquet of red roses on the desk of Representative Linton in the House Tuesday was put there by resolution of Andrew Jackson Lodge, Junior Order American Mechanics, of this city. The lodge some time ago appointed a committee to compliment Mr. Linton in some way, and the bouquet was the plan fixed upon.’ ‘The chairman of the committee was S. W. Dickman and the vice chairman John G. Humphrey. Mr. Linton has been spending several weeks since the election at his win- ter heme in Florida. New Board of Indian Commixsioners. Mr. Sherman has introduced a bill in the House abolishing the office of commissioner of Indian affairs, and providing for a board of commissioners to have charge of the Guties of the office. “Gen Coxey on Finance. “General” Jacob S, Coxey of commonweal army fame had an interview yesterday with Chairmen Walker of the House banking and currercy committee regarding the financial schemes he represents. —_—___-e-_____ What the Wool Growers Want.

Allen’x Report of Operations Dar- ing Last Month, Major Allen, the engineer ‘officer in charge of the Potomac river improvements, hes reported to the chief of engineers that the work of relaying and raising the sea wall on the Washington channel front of the reclaimed area was suspended Novem- ber 25 for the winter. During the month of November 460 linear feet of wall were relaid and raised to a height of six feet above low tide and 200 feet to a height o! about fcur feet above low tide. The wor! of filling in and grading has been finished behind all the completed wall around the tidal reservoir on section I, and has been commerced behind the wall on section IL. ‘fhe filling and grading done last month Was about 7 hear teet. ‘The sea wall ou the margin of the reclaimed area is practically completed, except near the site of the inlet gates and ‘along the bathing beach in the tidal reservoir. The relaying and raising of tne wall on the lower part of the Weshington channel front was ne- cessitated by the settling of the original wall, cwing to the soft character of the river bed et that point. Major Allen says that he expects to repair the coffer dam at pier 4 of the Aqueduct bridge during the present month and to invite proposals for the repairs of pier No. 4. —_e____.

Leaders of the Various Parties Par- ich ticipated in the Debate, W Was Sharp and Long. ~ After The Star's report of the proceedings in the Senate closed yesterday afternoon a brisk and interested debate was carried on, all the remarks of the Senators indi- cating that the Dingley bill is dead, and that ft will no longer be a subject for com- ment as a factor in tariff legislation. These declarations do not surprise people who have kept in touch with republican senti- ment on the tariff. Several months ago there was a very general feeling in favor of the passage of the Dingley bill, but it was not shared in by the leaders of the republicans in the Senate. When it began to be noised abcut that the passage of the Dingley bill might defeat, in the next Con- gress, the adoption of a real protective tariff measure, a change of sentiment be- came widespread. Why Mr. Allen Brought It Up. It was with a knowledge of the republi- cans’ fear of the Dingley bill that Mr. Allen called that measure up in the Senate a few days ago. But not until late yesterday afterncon was it fully acknowledged on the republican side of the Senate that the tariff 11 passed by the House at the last ses- sion of Congress was not wanted. While this acknowledgment was interesting, it was no surprise to any one acquainted with the views of leading republicans. In the first place, it was doubtful whether the Dingley bill could be passed by this Con- gress, and, should it be put through, it might not receive the signature of the President, but, more important than any other consideration, it would be a bar in the way of tariff legislation In the next Congress. enders in the Debate. The debate in the Senate yesterday after- noon brought forward the leaders of the various parties and elements, including sucn conspicuous figures as Messrm Sher- man, Frye, Teller, Gorman, Vest, Aldrich, Piatt, Mitchell of Oregon, Chandler, Hale and Allen, in notable statements on the leading questions which have engaged the attention of Congress and the country of late. Not only were the lines laid down on tariff and finance, but the debate partook of all the pent-up feeling resulting from the recent national contest. Often it was dramatic in its intensity, and at all times absorbingly interesting to the crowded gal- leries and intent body of Senators. Political differences came in for a fair share of at- tention and the names of Mr. McKinley and Mr. Bryan ofien were heard. President Cleveland also came in for a share of at- tention, Mr. Allen declaring that the Presi- dent was a republican, who rejoiced with republicans over their recent mutual vic- tory. An Acute Stage. The debate advanced to a more acute stage when Mr. Allen, with his usual blunt- ness, hegan to question Mr. Chandler as to the future of the Dingley bill. He asserted that the republicans had no need to fear opposition from the President, who had “gone over, body and soul, to the republi- can party.” This brought forward Mr. Shermar and Mr. Teller. The Ohio Senator spoke with deep earnestness, declaring that it was a crime for Congress not to give the government ample revenue for needful ex- penditures. He characterized the silver sub- sutute to the Dingley bill as a monstrosity designed to cripple legislation and obstruct the operations of the government. He ap- proved Mr. Cleveland's course in issuing bonds to maintain the gold reserve. Mr. Teller followed, pointing out the fu- lility of urging the Dingley bill. As to future tariff legislation, he reserved his judgment on it until the measure was pre- sented and its merits considered. Mr. Gor- man also pointed out the uselessness of urging the Dingley bill, conceding, how- ever, that after March 4 next the republi- can Senators would be in sufficient strength to pass a tariff bill. As to the course on the democratic side, he said he anticipated ho obstruction to such a measure beyond an insistence on reasonuble debate. No Further Attempt. Throughout the debate the sentiment had prevailed that the Dingley bill was dead, and to give this firal and apparently offi- celal sanction Mr. Platt of the finance com- mittee announced that no effort would be made to urge that bill toa passage. There- upon Mr. Sherman promptly arose and sa‘d that, in view of what had been said, he ac- quiesced in the general sentiment that no further effort should be made on the Ding- ley bill. This was regarded as the final disposition of the bill -]- He Knew It. Edward Roberts hails from Newark, N. J. He reached Washington last evening and hailed Sergeant Myers while the latter was passing along Pennsylvania avenue in citizen's attire and requested the price of a dinner. The sergeant hailed a patrol wagon. The next step was the hailing of Roberts today by the clerk of the Police Court. “Didn't you know it was dangerous to beg in Washington?” asked Judge Kimball of the prisoner. “Yes, sir,” the reply. 2” was the query that “I juet knew.” “You were probably told so by your fel- low tramps on the road,” suggested the ou will go to the workhouse for fifteen days, and when you get out you will leave town without delay if you are wise.” -_———— Hotel Arrivals.
