Hartwell, who arrived here on the steamer Coptic from Honolulu, will leave today for Boston with a contract which h2 says consummated between the Hawaiian government before annexa- tion, and a syndicate of Boston capitalists headed by James S. Scrymser, president of the Central and South American Cable Company, for the construction of a cable between San Francisco and Honolulu and from there to Yokohama. The contract gives this syndicate an ab- solute monopoly of cable communication be- tween Honoiulu and Yokohama, but is silent regarding the right of competition between the islands and the United States.

Surely it must be, a number of persons de- ciared. Then they came to the conclusion that it was much too ugly and yellow-look- ing to belong to a brave soldier from the District. It was something else. It was the new face on the city post office town clock. After maay mcnths of waiting for a new face, as promised by the Treasury Depart- rient officials in charge of the building, and as announced in The Evening Star, tie has been foisted upon the people, so ons town-clockless, a countenance that would frighten the bravest, if met on a dark night a@ lonely lane And it is not a new face at all that greeted Washingtonians this morning. The sad-looking dial of a month ago, with its hands running all awry round the big circle received, seem- ingly, a coat of dismal and faded’ yellow from the inside.

Our old friend in the tower must have expired in the meantime, how- ever, for no life has been apperent in the hands on the dial for several months.

There was a lively struggle on the Ten- leytown road, a short distance from the village, about 2:15 o'clock this morning, in which John F, Ricks, a colored man, whose age Is given as sixty years, and Policeman Ward were the principals, The policeman ngticed a figure walking along the road with a bag in his hand, carrying some bulky material. Calling upon him to stop, the policeman investigated and found a quantity of wire. The man claimed to have found the bag on the road between the power house of the Georgetown and Ten- leytown railroad and the Woodley Lane read. He at first refused to accompany the officer, and, getting down on nis knees, ia the middle of the road, prayed to the Lord for strength to whip the cop. He proved to be no mean antagonist, despite MMs age, and struggled desperately with his captor. To protect”himself the’ palice- man used his club, but in the struggle he Jost it and also his hat. A number of tim the prisoner was thrown, and every time he arose with the policeman on his back and started away. Finally his strength be- came exhausted, and he decided to accom- pany the officer. A resident of the locality happened zlong at this time, and he came into town and informed the station keeper that the patrol wagon was wanted. The wagon went out and met the policeman and prisoner a short distance outside of Georgetown, the hour being 4 o'clock when it returned to the sta- tion, The prisoner was taken to the Georgetown University Hospital, where his head was bandaged. Mary Cronan, a five-year-old white child, residing at 1302 36th street, while playing in ihe street in front of her home yesterday evening, shortly after 6 o'clock, Was stuck by car of the Metropolitan railrcad, Harry Jones, motorman, and Herbert Plum- mer, conductor. The child escaped with enly a few bruises and one or two slight scalp wounds, © was taken to the Georgetown University Hospital, where the injuries were dressed, No blame is attach- to the railroad employes by the police. amuel 3.

The District Commissioners have ordered that in view of the resignation of H. W. Tinkler, as superintendent of the Washing- ton Market Company, Preston H. Smith be designated as the oné to assign the spaces on the north side pf B street north, along the south front of the Center market, to farmers and truckmen rdising produce. ‘He is to collect and apply for the use of the market company, in policing and cleaning the space mentioned, 10,.cents for each sin- gie horse team and 15 cents for each dou- ble team, on condition;.that the market company shall keep clean the north side of B street between 7th and 9th streets north- west, Including therfifteén fect of roadway to be occupied as. aforesaid, and remove the sweepings and refuse therefrom, to the satisfaction of the Commissioners. The resignation of Henry Wallace as an additional private on the police force has been accepted by the District Commission- ers. The District Commissioners have ac- knowledged the receipt of a letter from Col. Theodore A, Bingham, in charge of public buildings and grounds, in which he suggests that the removal of wires of his department from some District telegraph poles between the War Department build- ingsand the corner of 17th and I streets .orthwest be delayed until the end of Sep- tember. The Commissioners in reply state that it will not materially inconvenience the engineer department if the wires re- main until the date stated. A young colored man named Harry Wal- lace, who refused to remain inside the rope on Virginia avenue while the soldiers were getting off the cars yesterday, was arrested by Policeman Lee for disord2rly conduct. When the case was heard in Judge Kim- ball’s court this morning, the defendant denied that he had used any profane lan- guage. The policeman was positive to the ners: and the :court imposed the usual ey WEEK ENDING SEPTEMBER 10, 1898. National, International and Domestic The President returned to Washington. Justice White of the Supreme Court hay- irg declined to serve on the Paris peace tribunal, Senator Gray of Delaware was chosen i# his stead, and accepted. The President named the members of the in- dustrial commiss‘on provided fer by Con- gress. Brig. Gns. Ludlow and Srmner were promoted to be major generals of vol- unteers for meritorious conduct. The gov- ernment decided to pay customs duties lev- ied by the Spanish officials at Havana on the ship Ccrral, laden with supplies for the starving Cubans; later this decision was reversed. and it was declared to be the pol- of the government to require the cus- tems officiais at that port to admit the ship duty free, in view of the nature of its cargo. The Naval Department deciicd to court-martial the chaplain of the Oregon for his criticisms on Admiral Sampson and officers of the fleet under his command. A court of inquiry exonerated the 3d Virginia Volunteers after investigating charges of insubordination preferred by Gen. Butler. n. Miles urrived from Porto Rico, and issued a statement reiterating the sukctan- tal facts contained in an interview with hna, previously plished, in which he scored the War Department for certain measures taken during the Santiago cam- paign. Secretary Alger asked the Presl- dent to institute an investigation of the conduct of the war, with special reference to the condition of the varlous camp: of concentration. Gen. Shafter reported at Washingten, and held a conference with Secretary Alger; they er went to Camp Meade, Pa., on an pection tour.

Foreign Affairs. - The Spanish government decided to close the doo! t the meetings of the cortes n the peace proposals were discussed; caused much confusion and riotous scenes were enacted in both chambers; the ministry and the civil authorities were agely criticised by members of the army, particularly General Weyler, and re- criminations were exchanged, indicating a deep schism between the military and civil branches of the government. Queen Wil- helmina was enthroned at The Hague, elab- orate ceremonies marking the event. D: patches were received from the Soudan an- nouncing the capture of Omdurman by the Anglo-Egypuian army under Sir Herbert Kitchener, the slaughter of large numbers of the dervishes and the rout of the Khalifa and his personal following; all indications pointed to the complete success of the cam- paign to re-establish order on the frontier. M. Cayaignac, French minister of war, re- signed rather than continue to participate in preparaticns for a revision of the Dre fus case, and General Zurlinden was given the vacant portfolio; public sentiment in France continued to favor revision, and the government announced that steps toward this end were being taken; Madame Dreyfus appealed for a revision on the strength of the Henry forgery. Officials of the German foreign office denied the reports that Great Britain and Germany had signed a treaty of offensive and defensive alliance; Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, British secretary of state for the colonies, admitted on his ar- rival in New York on’a personal visit that a treaty had in fact been signed between the powers, but that it did not go so far as an alliance for offense and defense.

Friday morning, while the streets were crowded with people waiting r the arrival of the District troops, a horse attached to an express wa- gon became excited and ran away, dashing into a throng of people on the sidewalk near the point of debarkation and seriously injuring five persons. Fireman Frederick Freeland and Brakeman Edward Cooper were killed in a wreck at the north end of the Long bridge, caused by a freight train Jumping the track on account o: a mis- placed switch.
