Believe That He Will Make an Ex- cellent Commissioner of Pensions— No Stranger to Washington. The appointment of Mr. H. Clay Evans of Tennessee to be commissioner of pen- sions is very gratifying to his former col- leagues in the House, and to the new mem- bers as well, most of whom have personal acquaintance with Mr. Evans through his connection with national politics for the last few years. The position which Mr. Evans will occupy In the future’ will bring him into close personal relations with nearly every member of the House, for the pensicn bureau is the department where the average representative has the most business to transact with his constituents. It is conceded on every hand that Mr. Evans is admirably fitted to occupy the po- sition which the President selected for him. In these days, when the business of the pension bureau has grown to such enormous proportions, the office: of com- missioner is considered a highly important one, and the selection of a man to fill it is usually a matter of considerable concern to the appointing power. No Stranger to Washington. Mr. Evans is no stranger to Washington public life, as every one knows. He first appeared prominently in national affairs when he came to Washington at the begin- ning of the Fifty-first Congress as a re- publican representative from the state of Tennessee. He brought with him the rep- utation of an orator of considerable abil- ity, a man of affairs and a hard worker. His record in Congress fully sustained this reputation. Mr. Evans was made a mem- ber of the committee on post offices and post roads, and by his conspicuous work in that committee attracted the attention of Postmaster General Wanamaker. When an occa! late in the Harrison ad- Wanamaker called Mr. ivans to be hi: ant in administering the great business of the Post Office De- partment, and President Harrison ap- pointed him first assistant postmaster gen- eral. When the republican administration re- tired from power Mr. Evans returned to Tennessee and engaged actively in the pol- itics of his own state. He was the republi- an candidate for governor, and his friends claim was elected. Many of the most prominent democrats in the state conceded his election. He was counted out of the office, however, and was compelled to sec his democratic opponent, whom he felt he had fairly defeated, assume the gubernato- nal chair. To this day Mr. Evans is fa- miliarly addr as “governor” by his associates in Tennessee, who claim that he was by right, if not in fact, at one time governor of Tennessee. Put Forward for the Vice Presidency. Mr. Evans continued to engage himself earnestly in politics, and was recognized as one of the leading, if not the principal, supporters of Maj. McKinley among south- erm republicans. At the St. Louis conven- tion Mr. Evans was put forwar friends for the vice presidenc ceived a large and flattering vote the campaign opened he threw hi ergetically into the contes hard throughout the whole several states for t publican th Mr. Evans is a gentieman of engaging personality, and possesses the facalty of making friends easily and holding them permanently JAPANESE XCLUDED. Trouble in Hawaii on the Subject of Immigration. The steamer Rio Janciro brought Honolu lu advices to San Francisco yesterday to the effect that the Hawaiian government bas had serious trouble with the Japanese consul over the question of Japanese immi- gration. Two Japanese steamers recently arrived at Honolulu with heavy consign- ments of Japanese laborers. The collector of customs, after an investigation, decided that 446 of the immigrants must return to their native country, claiming that they failed to come up to all the requirements ef the treaty stipulations as regards emi- grants. The Hawaiian court sustained the collector's decision, and the coolies were erdered returned to Japan forthwith. The incident created excitement among Japa- nese colonists, who imagined their country- men were being dicriminated against, and at a meeting they adopted resolutions call- ing upon their government to investigate the case. The Japanese representative at Hono- ulu has sent a request to Tokio for a war vessel, and has advised the captains of the steamers to return the rejected immigrants to Japan, promising that the company shall be reimbursed if Hawail has violated its treaty. The whole trouble has been caused by the Hawaitan immigration companies, who have attempted to bring men in without proper authority. Japanese at Honolulu openly say they intend to cause trouble for the Hawalian government over the restric- tion of immigration. ‘The latest infraction of the law is the brutal murder of an interpreter in the Is- land of Maul. Four Japanese ringleaders in the affair were arrested. Later a mob of over 400 Japanese marched ten miles to liberate the murderers, but were prevented by fifty white men, called out by the sheriff. ————-e-_____ Drew Pension by Fraud for Years. Louisa Batless, old and feeble, was yes- terday sentenced at New York to two years and six months’ imprisonment for fraudulently drawing a pension from the United States government. As the widow of Henry Bailess, a marine, who was drowned early in the civil war, she has been drawing a pension since 1862. In 1868 she came into possession of the pension papers of Maria Jackson, widow of John Jackson of Comvany A, 14th Pennsytva- nia Volunteer Cavalry, who was killed in battle in 18€2, and upon these papers she has drawn $12 a month up to the present time. Mrs. Bailess pleaded that the Jack- son papers were given to her by Mrs. Jackson when the latter was dying, and that she was not aware that in drawing the additional pension she was violating the law. ———+o+____ Dog Show at Baltimore. The Baltimore bench show opened yes- terday. When the result of the morning’s judging was announced it was learned Weeks and Turner’s tamous Russian wolf hound “Marksman” had taken first prize over “Optimist,” owned by George Keas- bey of Brooklyn, N. Y. Among the out- of-town exhibitors who got first prizes were Albion L.

A special from a New Yerk World staff correspondent at Havana‘éays: Treachery is charged in the capture of’ Gen. Rius Ri- vere, Col. Bacallao, his chief of staff, and Lieut. Terry, also of his steff. The pected betrayer is Gonzalo Jorrin, a lawyer of Havana. Senors Jorrin, Emilio Guaz and Jose Ma- ria Paz were sent by General Weyler not very long ago to see if General Rivera would accept the Canovas scheme of re- forms. General Gomez had ordered all his chiefs not to receive such commissions, but feneral Rivera let this one go into his camp on the foothills near San Cristobal. It Is asserted now that Senor Jorrin dis- closed the location of the camp and its ap- proaches, but he denfes treachery. The Cubans are so excited that the au- thorities are guarding Senor Jorrin’s house on Cerro street. The Spanish say General Rivera foolishly remained in the Same camp six weeks, had no outposis and was surprised. Some Cubans suspect the rebél chief Per- {co Delgado, who was angry because Gen- eral Rivera and not he succeeded Maceo. It is impossible to get at the exact truth of the capture. The Spanish report that General Rivera had only orfe hundred men. The number of Spanish troops is not given, but it is said that 4,500, with cavalry and two pleecs of artillery, surréunded the camp shclled it. The official report only gives ten rebels as killed and one Spanish soldier, although the fight lasted hour It 1s believed that General Rivera had es were sides’ than the Span- only cred- ited General Rivera with one kundred men because General Weyler has officially de- clared the province pacifiel, and the ab- surdity of that statement would be shown if General Rivera’s full strength was made known. General Rivera Is said to be an American citizen, but he ts not registered at tho con- sulate. Lieut. Terry, who died, is said to have been an American citizen ‘also. General Rivera probably will be shot soon, as General Weyler has given crders that he be tried by court-martial on the spot im- mediately. He may be put to death Sat- urday, in spite of his wounds, or the Span- ish may cure them and then shoot him. The certain execution of this brave, wounded prisoner of war excites indigna- tion and disgust here. No other alleged civilized nation is capable of such an act. Colorel Bacailao, who tried to carry off his wounded commander on his back, al- though himself wounded, will die with him. It Is predicted that these executions will provoke General Gomez to shoot all Spau- ish prisoners hereafter instead of releasing them* much heavier on both a THE SMITHSONIAN AT NASHVILLE. An Interesting Exhibit to Be Made at the Centennial Exposition. Mr. F. W. True, in charge of the Smith- sonian Institution and National Museum exhibi: at the Tennessee centennial exposi- tion at N; has not! yet fully ar- Nashville, ranged the exhibit of the National Museum, but has already listed the ohjects to be In. stalled by the Smithsonian {nstitution and other of its dependeneles than the museum. Portraits of the founder of the institution, James Smithson, and the former and pres- ent secretaries were but recently made for the occasion of the exposition. The Half Century Book, the forthcoming of which is being very eagerly watched for by scien= tsis of the entire world, will be exhibited both as a completed volume and in. its Separate parts, volumes in themselves, This will be the first appearance of the great work, and will be the cause of com- ment both here and abroad. ‘There will be a complete set of all the publications of the Institution, such as reports and bulletins. This means a library in itself, extensive enough to outrank one of treble the number of volumes. The ‘Thomas @. Hodgkins fund case will contain a fine portrut of the well-known science benefactor, and. the medal, together with copies of the prize essays, including the famous one upon. the discovery of argon, the newly found con- stituent of air. Mr. Herbert Adams, the sculptor of New York city, has consented to the exhibition of the original plaster model of his statue of Professor Henry, once secretary of the institution. Mr. Adams has also offered to deposit the model in the museum, after the exposition, which offer the museum. au- thorities will hasten to accept. ‘The statue is now in the new Library of Congress, where it has been admired by hundreds uf lovers of art as an exceedingly life-like work. The objects mentioned are all to come from the institution proper. The Zoolog- ical Park is to be reproduced to a wonder- ful accuracy of detail in the shape of a model about seven feet square. This is the very clever work of a local modeler, and the model can boast of having for a long time rested in honored security at the Capitol. It is a costly production, and is corrected to date. Photographs of import- ant features of the park, including groups of animals, will be included in the show to_be made by the park. The bureau of international exchanges will exhibit a map of the world showing the situation and number of its branches in all countries, and almost, it may be said, in every corner of the earth. One set of government documents is to give a defi- nite idea of the quantity of publications annually sent abroad, which, together with a bound list of all the bureau's for- eign correspondents, will make clear that the activities of the bureau are on a grand scale. The exhibit of the astro-physical obser- vatory will be very interesting, consisting of, among other objects, photographs of the spectrum showing the progress of the observatory, photographs of apparatus, and the bolometer, the marvelous inven- tion so invaluable and necessary to astro- physics. There will be great disappointment not for the managers of the exposition only, but for the thousands of. persons who would travel far to see a real airship—one that has actually flown—when it is known that Secretary Langley has refused to al- low the exh{bir of bis. famous aerodrome. Prof. ley values his apparatus too highly to allow it- to be subjected to the damsging experiences: of exposition treat- ment. In answer to a very earnest re- quest from Mr. True, the secretary wrote a few days ago: “It will hardly be prac- ticable to construct a.model of one of the aerodrcmes, but I am -will that two of Mr. Smillie’s photographs: (to be selected by me) of that which’ hes ually flown mey be enlarged to as n ly full size as possible for the exposition.” Mr. Smillie ig the official photographer of the institu- tion. —_.—___ Rights for Hebrew Ameritkn Cltize: A resolution was intreducéed.in the House yesterday by Mr. Fitzgerald! of thu- setts providing that the Secréfary of State be requested to ees fromthe Russian government that (Ye same E to Hebrew Amerjean citize: ter of passports as now ; all other clesses of” ‘whether any Amoices eiuwele hese teat whether any. 4 ve ordered to be from or for- bidden the exercise -of 01 privileges enjoyed by tire “in! te use of their n. “Want” ads. in ‘The Star-yai{becdune they bring answers. : DOWN THE CAPITOL STEPS A Wheelman’s Wild Flight at the Westen Front. Dashing Down the Stairway—How the Wheel Flew Through the Air. William Shields of Woonsocket, R. 1, rode down the steps of the west front of the Capitol yesterday afternoon on a bi- cycle, and lives today to tell the tale. Per- haps it would be more exact to say that he dropped slantwise from the top of the terrace to the ground below while astride of a wheel. There fs no question that he accomplished the feat, for he was photo- graphed during his rapid descent, and the incontrovertible product of the camera is on exhibition to convince the skeptics. Foolhardy and hazardous as the feat was, it nevertheless required a considerable amount of a certain kind of nerve to at- tempt and complete it. It 1s much more difficult to ride down the terrace steps on the west front of the Capitol than the ride down those, for instance, on the east front, for the reason that the terrace steps are Wm. Shields. broken by several landings. It is believed that until yesterday no wheelman ever attempted to ride down the steps on the west front, though riders have accomplished the feat on the east steps. The scene of yesterday’s performance was the ascent, or rather descent, leading to the Maryland avenue entrance to the grounds. Here there are four flights of steps mount- ing the terrace. The two lower flights of sixteen steps each are broken by a landing about ten feet in width, then there are an- other landing about twice as wide and the two upper flights of twenty-one steps each, these in turn being separated by a landing of equal width to that of the lower steps. Thus there are seventy-four steps and three landings to be passed over in the de- scent. Every one who has walked up these steps realizes how steep they are, and will -no doubt wonder that any one could suc- cessfully ride-down them astride of a bi- cycle. The Downward Flight. Shields waited until the steps and ap- proaches were entirely clear of itors, and then, placing his bicycle at the brink of the steep incline, swung easily into the sad- dle and began the perilous descent. Before reaching the bottom of the uppermost flight he lost his pedals, and making no attempt | to regain them, sat rigidly upright in the saddle, his feet hanging clear of the rapidly revolving cranks, holding to the handle bars with a vise-like grip, and his eyes fas- tened fixedly on the path at the bottom. It only lasted for about fifteen seconds, but the intensity of the strain increased inuca more rapidly than the seconds passed. Gathering momentum with every foot of the downward passage, the rider seemed to be going as if shot out of the mouth of a cannon. When he reached the third and last landing, the velocity of his descent had reached such a point that he literally leaped over the final flight of sixteen steps to the bottom. His wheel did not touch a single one of the steps, but took an onward and downward bound for the bottom. Then it was the few who witnessed the descent shuddered, the momentum attained being so great as to pitch the rider over the last flight. He left the saddie, but at the bottom wheel and rider fell’ in a heap. Shields escajed, however, without a serious bruise. The Sterling wheel which he was riding did not loosen a bolt or yield a! any point under the severe strain to which it was put, and aside from a twisted handle bar, received at the fall at the bottom, came out of the ordeal without a scra-ch. Shields seems to have a penchant for rid- ing down the steps of buildings. He has been out in Ohio and Kentucky astonishing the people in that section with his daring feats. Court house steps, city hall steps and steps to monuments are his especial delight, and out in Cincinnati he even at- tempted to ride out of a second-story win- dew down a painter's ladder to the street below. 3 Just for Practice. Yesterday morning, just in the way of practice, he went to the south front of the State, War and Navy building, and rode down the steep flight there. This, he said, was easy, as there were no landings to be encountered, and consequently no danger of being pitched off the steps. The wheel on which the descent was made has been placed in the show window of the company, 14th street and New York avenue, where will also be exhibited the photograph of Shields taken during his escent. Besides imitating that noteworthy achievement of his New England proto- type, the sturdy Gen. Israel Putnam,Shields is said to be a very clever trick rider. He makes up as a Reuben from Wayback, and with rough boots, short faded coat, paper collar, yellow necktie, a rusty, low-crowned derby het, goggles and a tawny wig, and riding open-mouthed through the streets, attracts staring crowds of the curious. He will doubtless appear on the streets of ‘Washington -in this rig, a costume for which he hes several times been awarded prizes in bicycle parades. Exaggerated hayseeds are not strictly novelties in the city, especially during the theatrical sea- son, but this is perhaps the first time the capital has been visited by a Reuben of the wheel. —_>__—__—_ Inhaling Gas. Mrs. Margules, who lives at 5th and G streets northwest, was made sick yester- day by inhaling gas. She came here from New York with her husband, who is a tailor, and he returned to New York sev- eral days ago. Since his departuré the wife has lived as.a domestic in the fam- ily of Mr. Kominski, who keeps a grocery stcre opposite the pension office. “A physi- clan attended the woman and succeeded in relieving her of the effects of the gas. It was rumored that Mrs. Margules had at- tempted suicide, but her employer says the affair was an accident. a PASSED BY THE HOUSE. The Tariff Bill and Committee Amend- ments Adopted. With this morning the duties imposed by the Dingley tariff bill will be In force, and the present law will be a thing of the past, if the last amendment attached to the bill before its passage in the House yesterday, fixing April 1 as the day on which its pro- visions shall go into effect, should be in the bill when it is finally enacied and should be held to be legal by the courts. The republican victory yesterday was com. plete. They presented an unbroken front to the opposition. All the rumors that dis- satisfaction with particular schedules of the bill might lead some of them to break over the party traces proved absolutely un- founded. On the other hand, five democrats, one more than was anticipated, braved the par- ty whip and gave the bill the approval of their votes. These five democrats are in- terested particularly in the sugar and wool schejules. Three came from Louisiana and two from Texas. They were Messrs. Mey- er, Broussard, Davey, Kleberg and Slayden. One populist, Mr. Howard of Alabama, voted for the bill. Twenty-one other mem- bers of what is denominated “the opposi- tion,” consisting of populists, fusionists and silverites, declined to record themselves elther for or against the measure. The vote on the final passage of the bill stood ayes 205, nays 122; present and not voting, 21—a majority of 83. Speaker Reed added to the dramatic nature of the climax of this ten days’ struggle in the House by direct- ing the clerk to call his name at the end of the roll call, recording his vote for the bill. The events of the last hours leading up to the final vote were replete with excite- rent and incident, and not devoid of humor. The galleries were crowded to suffocation. Even the executive and diplomatic galler- ies, which are usually empty even on big @ays, were well filled. Many prominent per- sonages were present. On the floor every seat was taken. After the amendment fixing April 1 as the date on which the bill should go into ef- fect had been adopted against the protests of the democrats, who contended that it was retroactive, and therefore unconstitu- tional, the last three hours were taken up with short speeches, most of which were made for the benefits of the galleries and the ccnstituents of the speakers. John Al- len of Mississippi, the wit of the House, re- galed the members with one of his humor- cus efforts, which tickled the risibilities of all present. The democrats had yielded the question of a long debate over the Grosvenor amend- ment in the hope that enough progress might be made with the bill to permit the House to reach the sugar schedule: but only two more pages were read, leaving 140 un- Considercd in committee of the whole. The motion to recommit with instructions to amend the bill so as to suspend the duties on articles controlled by trusts, upon which they based their principal hope of breaking through the republican ranks, falled of ite purpose. Every republican voted against it There was a great demonstration on the floor and in the galleries when the bill was finally declared passed. iS PARTY. Clayton Outlines His Course an Minister to Mexico. Gen. Powell Clayton, the newly appoint- ed minister to Mexico, was seen at the Arlington Hotel last evening by a Star reporter, and spoke interestingly of his hopes for increasing the trade relations be- tween the United States and the country to which he is to be accredited. “I regard the republican party,” said Gen. Clayton, “as a business party, and I propose to bear this fact in mind while I am in Mexico. The field for the extension of trade between these countries is a par- ticularly attractive one for the reason that there is and can be no rivalry between them. Mexico and the United States each produce to a large extent what the other wants, and what, in the nature of things, the other cannot produce. I shall hope to increase the cordial feeling already exist- ing between the two countries, and do what I can to enlarge the trade between them. The two republics, lying side by side, should each prosper by this increase of trade. “We all know that Mexico is imbued with the spirit of enterprise and progress, which is the characteristic of our own country.” ———_—_—__-e-______ ENCOURAGEMENT FOR VETERANS. Gen, Secretary Gage to Restore Discharged Ex-Union Soldiers. In accordance with the policy adopted by the present administration, Secretary Gage informed a delegation of one-armed veterans who visited him at the Treasury Department yesterday afternoon that all deserving ex-Union soldiers or sailors who had been improperly discharged from the Treasury Department will be restored to their places as soon as the cases can be investigated. The visiting delegation con- sisted of the following named veterans, who had lost their places in the treasury during the democratic administration: Jas. M. Miller of Ohio, Solomon E. Homan of Ohio, Andrew Daly of Iowa, John F. Pes- tell of Missouri, George C. Cornish of New York, Charles E. Diemer of Ilinois, John Bott of Missouri and W. P. Hogarty of Kansas. Mr. Miller, who was the spokesman of the party, presented a memorial setting forth their claims for reinstatement in the government service. The paper set forth that each member of the delegation had lost an arm in the defense of his country, and that he had been “urjustly and un- lawfully treated by the former Secretary of the Treasury,” who, it was alleged, had discharged them during ine first twenty months of his administration. Secretary Gage was thanked for his action in promptly reinstating Major W. A. Rogers as chief of division in the office of the auditor for the War Department. The delegation urged the restoration of all other ex-soldiers, sailors and marines who had been similarly treated. Secretary Gage listened attentively to the reading of the inemorial, and promised that it should re- ceive early attention, remarking that he was personally in full sympathy with its purpose. Under the civil service - tions, discharged veterans are eligible to reinstatement at any time, in the discre- tion of the head of the department. ——_o-___ Senator Pettigrew’s Tarif Amendment Senator Pettigrew introduced in the Sen- ate yesterday as an amendment to the tariff bill his anti-trust proposition, which was described in The Star some time ago. It provides that all articles on the dutia- ble list shall be admitted free of duty if said articles or articles of @ like character of domestic production are manufactured, their sale controlled, or the price affected by @ trust or combination to prevent com- petition. Every contract, combination in the form of @ trust or to restrict the quan- tity of production or affect the price of any article or conspiracy in restraint of trade shall be considered a trust. Provision is made for application by any citizen to the United States courts for a determination on the existence of any trust, and if the courts decide that a trust exists an order is issued to the customs officers directing them to admit free of duty articles similar to those made by the trust. A proviso is made that when a duty eer Se a en ae oe Om nay -artiche improved after importation, uty on the raw material or unrefined or unim- Proved article shall be collected, but the differential duty shall not be collected if the improved or refined product is subject of a trust. —_—_—__-e-—____ Adjourned Until Saturday.

ON TREATY the itive Session. After the adoption of the Ho: ment in executive session ye Senate adopted the series of ame offered by Senator Foraker. These a Senate amend- erday the ments, end- ments are to each article providing for a tribunal of arbitration, and declare that each case submitted to arbitration must be tried a separate tribunal. The arbi. trators appointed on the part of the United States are to be pminated by the President. and confirmed by the Senate The Chilton amendment providing for the submission of all agreements to the Senate was laid on the table by an aye and no vote, because, as was urged, the provision Was practically included in the Hoar amendment. There were many senators, however, who were of opinion that the Chil- ton amendment was preferable on the point covered by it because more explicit, and the vote was comparatively close, the majority against it being 7. An amendment introduced by Senator Mills expunging the last half of article 6 of the treaty invoking the good offices of other powers before resorting to war in case of failure to reach an agreement un- der the terms of the treaty was also lost by a close margin. A motion to omit all of article 8, referring to state and territorial claims. was laid on the table by a more decided vote Sena*or Morgan presented a motion to strike out article 7, relating to objections to jurisdiction, but withdrew it with notice that he would probabiy renew it t lay Senator Hansbrough gave nc of a sub- stitute for the entire treaty, which he sald he would offer today in the shape of a reso- tting forth that while the United of arbit sent t doctrine pts the as wise and humane, the not demanded by the ex times. Senator Hoar stat make a point of order a the tute when offe: and there is no doubt it will be sustained. When the Senate adjourned at 4 o'clock it was with the understanding that the uid be taken final vote on amendments at 4 o'clock today. — DELINQU ENT TAX LIS DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA REAL.
