There as been a hearty and patriotic response to the encampment's stirring appeal, and the fund now in hand has reached the $300 mark. The Amount Yet Needed. It is estimated that about this sum addi- ticnal will be needed to carry out the origi- nal work planned and to erect two tron fence squares about the graves of the dead sailors of the torpedo boat Winslow, buried | near the Maine dead. The subscription will | be closed July 1, and as instructions have | been given to hold back the different gov- | ernment department lists until that time | it is hoped that when complete returns are | the men of the navy, will appreciate it.

Office Clerks The Fence Described. From the design of the fence it will be szen that it Is to be handsome in every re- spect. The main part of it will be five feet in height, while the center of the grand gates will be elght feet high. The desl; was made by Mr. A. F. Jorss of the orna- mental fron works of this city, and is re- plete with naval reatures, including, as will be seen, cutlasses, ca) ,» anchors, etc. The eagle and cannon design in the center of each gat> is a reproduction of the de- vices above the mirrors in tne ante-room of the Secretary of the Navy's office. The THE PROPOSED FENCE. in $1,000 will have been secured. The sub- scriptions are limited to small amounts. In the anying illustration are shown e of the Matni ad as they appeared on the day following Deco- ration day, and a sketch of the fe signed for erection. It will be rememb that the Union Veteran Legion committee in this city forwarded to Key West ) American flags to be placed on the graves on the national memorial day. The flags did not reach Key West until late in the night of Decoration day and were not placed on the graves until early the following mor: The flags shown in the picture were the gifts of Mr. John Denham of Key West, a well-known news- paper man. To the left of the Maine graves will be seen a small obelisk monument. It was erected by the crew of the gunboat New- port over the resting ace of a gunner from their ship who lost his life while working as a diver. The underbrush to the right of the clearing hides the graves of a number of sailors who have been buried at this cemetery from time to time in years past. They were all known and a small slab was placed at the head of each. Fifteen of the graves of the Maine dead are “unknown” and will have no government headstone. Each of the nine who were known will be provided with a stone. Graves of Winslow Seamen. It was thought at first by the committee in charge of this work that the four sea- men of the Winslow, Killed in action at Cardenas, at the time of the death of En- Sign Bagley. were buried in the same plot ith the Maine sailors, but they are quite @eparate. The committee is in receipt of @ communication from Lieut. Bernadou, the commanding officer of the torpedo boat, stating that to protect the graves there are needed two light iron railings, each forming a rectangle of seventeen by three feet, each inclosing two graves. Lieut. Bernadou addressed the letter to Commander Forsyth at Key West, who in forwarding it to the committee’ here in ‘Washington expresses the following pretty sentiment: “Respectfully forwarded to the commit- tee on protection of graves of the Maine dead. If this can be included in your work anchors, ornaments and monograms will be emblazoned in gilt, while the main body of the fenc> will be black. The fence is to be made of wrought iron and will be expen- sive. Cast iron would not withstand the climatic conditions at Key West. From Washington to Key West it is near- ly 1,700 miles, and the freushtuge on five tons .of iron will be considerabl>. The ex- pense of construction at Key West will be large also, and the committee will need ample funds. Once the fe is erect2d the inclosure will be cleared and the graves mounded and marked. The commanders at the Key West naval station will see to it that the graves are not neglected hereafter. The fence for the Winslow dead will be shipped at the same tim2. A Permanent Work. The committee has often been asked, it is said, why the government does not care for the graves of the Maine dead. To this question the answer Is given that the gov- ernment 1s powerless. The Key West ceme- tery is a private one. The suggestion that the bodies be brought to Arlington for burial has brought out the fact that the state laws of Florida ar3 such that the dis- interment of bodies {s not permitted until two years or more after burial. This idea Was disposed of, therefore, and now there is a suggestion that the bodies of the Mains sailors buried at Havana be brought from that city as soon as it is occupied by the American forces and buried with the others at Key West. It is then propused that a tall shaft be erectzd to thelr memory at Key West, so high that it may be seen many miles out at sea. This latter plan will probably be carried out, so it will be seen that the erection of the fence by the U. V. L. committee will stand a3 a per- manent work of patriotic Americans. Bronze plates on the gates will be suitably inscribed. Maj. Butts and his colleagues are grati- fisd at the success of their undertaking and feel certain that additional funds will be forthcoming from the peopie of Washing- ton to make up the amount necessary to carry out the additional work undertaken.

SUPERINTENDENT STUTLER'S REPORT Effort to Develop Good Results From Hand System. QUESTION OF WAGES Mr. Warner Stutler, superintendent of the street and alley cleaning department, today submitted to the Commissioners for approval, through Mr. Ross, who has direct charge of that branch of the service, the schedules prepared under which the streets and alleys of the District will be swept the coming year. Mr. Uer’s report, which Was approved by th> Commissioners, was accompanied by a communication, explana- tory of tho schedules, as follow: “I have the honor to herewith submit for approval the schedules under which the improved streets and avenues will be swept during the ensuing year. I cannot hope for an entirely satisfactory service under these schedules, but I assure you that they are the very best possible for the amounts ap- propriated. “In conformity with the provision of the bill which provides that $15,000 of the amount appropriated may be used under the immediate control of the Commission- ers, without contract, I have made up chedule No. 1, for hand cleaning, which represents about 300,000 square yards daily. With the amour le for this purpos I expect to cle onstrate that the statement made to the committee on ap- propriations—that we can do better work at less cost to the Dis labor better y than if the work were one under contract—is correct. “Hand-cleaning schedule No. 2 repr 450,000 square yards to be cleaned under contract.

But little business of public importance was transacted at the m2eting last evening of the Central Labor Union. President H. C. Sprague was in the chair and Mr. J. M. Kreiter was secretary. A letter was read from Mr. Meiklejohn, assistant secretary of war, in respons? to a letter sent by Secretary Kreiter, regarding the bread furnished soldiers at Camp Alger, in which Mr. Meiklejohn said: “No complaint relative to tha bread fur- nished Camp Alger has reached this office. The bakery referred to does not have the ecntract for furnishing Camp Alger with bread after June 18, as another firm was a lowsr bidder.” The statement was made that a lot of bread, comprising 16,000 loaves, which was made up by the new contractor, was con- demned upon inspection at Camp Alger, and as a result the contract was annulled. Also that a new arrangement was then made and the bread for the camp is being furnished by several concerns. The committee appointed on the part of the Central Labor Union to forward an ap- peal to organizations which are affillated with the American Federation of Labor throughout the country reported that they had performed that duty and that the ap- peal had been indorsed by the executive council of tha A. F. of L., and the attention of all organized labor called to the matter, as follows: “The appeal of the Central Labor Union of Washington, D. C., has been investi- gated and fully approved by the executive council of the American F2deration of La- bor. We are fully satisfied that the inter- est of tne labor movement throughout the country would be best subserved by having the courts determine wnetuer tie so-called anti-trust law was indeed designed to crush organized labor, and, if so designed, to se- cure remedial legislation. In either event it is best to know the truth. Organized labor ef Washington has no alternative but to de- fend the indicted men, the simpie question being that they be assisted in a substantial manner in order that the best case may b> prepared and presented.” The committee further stated that 3,000 copies of the appeal will be distributed by the Central Labor Union among city cen- tral bodies, state f2derations, national bedies and all local organizations not allied with central bodies. A sum of moncy to defray the sary expenses was appropriated The statement was made that a member of the Brickiayers’ Union had been dis- charged from work on a public scl ing by order of the District Commission: without cause, except that th2 bricklayer | had pal difficulty with a sub- action of the Commission- t was said, was regarded by the Brick- 8 a clear case of blacklist, and further steps will be taken in the matter. es Washington City Bible Society.
