WASHINGTON CITY;
kItRDAN ........... January 3, 1871.

The frequency of cosl-oil accidents has in
duced the underwriters, representing the presi-
dents and agents of various fire insurance COM
panies located in Baltimore, to hold q meeting
in that city 70 consider the expediency of OBJ
tanning municipal legislation against the stor-
age and sale Of explosive illuminating fluids
within the corporate limits Of the city. At this
meeting letter was read from Fire Inspector
Holloway, in which he stated tha in a report
which be made in 1869. it was set forth that out
Of 50 samples of oil collected from various parts
OF the city, only stood the test for purity and
non-habilIty to explosion, and that since that
time the sale Of adulterated oils has increa sed
tentold, and accidents from their use have in
creased 500 per cent. The meeting appointed
committee to obtain legislation on the subject.
The president of the meeting said he would
rather insure house full of gunpowder han a
house containing Illuminating oils, for in the
first no person would enter, but in the latter
people were presumptuous and handled fire
lecklessly.

The message of the new Governor of Viz
ginia is rather well received even by his political
opponents, who characterize it as a fair aud
uDprejudiced statement OF the condition of az
fairs IN the state. He speaks encouragingly OF
the relations between the two races in Virginia
refers 10 immigration and capital as the two
great wants of Virginia, and says that the war
left burden on the state, in the education of
freedmen and the support OF negro paupers,
and greatly decreased the taxable property.
He would deplore the interference of the fed
eral government with the schools As certain to
result in their destruction; but thinks that the
government should supply the means for the
education Of the negroes. With less than one
third of her proportion of the national cur
reney, he believes it the duty of the general
government to either afford her her due proper
ton or repeal the existing tax on state bank
notes, thus allowing Virginia to provide a cir
culating medium of her own.

San Frsnciscois having a disgraceful wrangls
in its fire department, there being two board 8
of fire commissioners, with two chief engineers.
struggling for the supremacy, and in the mean
time one hundred million dollar worth of prop
erty is virtually deprived of its proper protec-
ton against fire. One night last week the new
commissioners broke into the office of the old
commissioners and took possession of the place
and vault Subsequently the old commission.
ers, by way Of retaliation, were to meet and dis
place all the foremen and fremen who refuse to
obey their chief engineer. This last step would
force the decentralization now existing at head
quarters into the ranks of the department. No
remedy can be applied until the next meeting
OF the legislature, but the Bulletin warns the
contestants that "if any great disaster should
take place, the public knows where to look for
the guilty parties"

HE NEW COAL CONBISATIoS.-The New
York Post, speaking of the reported cOnsOlida-
ton under one corporation of the Pennsylvania
coal companies and transportation lines from
the coal fields, noticed elsewhere, in to-day's
issue says it Is not pleasant news to read in
midwinter, nor is its depressing effect lessened
by the fact that ii was made to evade law OF
the Pennsylvania legislature, which went into
operation January LIST, making such combina-
nations OF railroad and other eorporatiO il
legal The Post which omits to state that the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Road is
not party to this combination, and that it has
ALWAYS refused to join in any such movement,
hopes the new corporation will deal kindly with
the public, as it has its hand on every mans
hearthstone.

1t is understood that the claim OF Spain
should she ever make any against the United
States for expenses incurred in the capture of
the yirginius would be efectuslly barred by
the precedent established by the Geneva tribu-
nal, denying the liability OF Great Britain for
indirect damages. So the decision of that in
ternational tribunal on that point at which we
were disposed to growl, may, after all, have
been blessing IN disguise.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1874-01-03

New York Commercial says:
"The Spaniards in Cuba derive some COM
fort from the opinion of the Attorney General
but when they apply their strong expletiyes to
the loss OF the Nirginius, they forget that the
ship was ours, and under no circumstances could
be reclaimed by Spain. There was no reason
why this government should sink her by a
" trick" 1t could do 30 as openly and as ight-
ashes into the sea. The Attorney General pro-
bounced the yirginius as much exempt from
interference on the high seas by another Do wer
as n her papers had been all right"

for its lofty bearing, and its cold and

THE CENTENNIAL BUILDING.

Mr.. Elwood Evans has furnished us
with a circular issued by the Centen-
NAL Commission. from which we learn
that the principal buildings in which
the International Exhibition of 1876
will Re held are the main building, the
art gallery. the machinery hall, the ag-
ricultural and horticultural halls. In
the aggregate they cover floor space
OF about 40 acres. Tie building is in
the form of u paralleicgram, extending
east and west $50 feet in length, and
north and south AGA feet in width. The
larger portion of the structure is one
story in height, and shows the main
cornice upon the outside at As feet
above the ground, the interior height
being 10 feet. At the center of the
longer sides are projections 41G feet in
length, and in the center of the shorter
sides or ends of the building are pro-
jections PIG fact in length. In these
projections, in the center of the four
sides, are located the main entrances,
which are provided with arcades upon
the ground floor, and central facades
extending to the height of 90feet. Upon
the corners of the building there are
four towers IS feet in height, and be-
tween the towers and the central pro-
jections or entrances, there is lower
roof introduced showing a cornice at
"a feet above the ground. In order to
obtain central feature for the build
ing as o whole, the roof over the CEN
trail part, for 1S4 feet square, has been
raised above the surrounding portion,
and four towers, 48 feet square, rising
to 100 feet in height, have been intro
duced at the corners of the elevated
roof. The foundations consist of piers
Of masonry. The superstructure is
composed of wrought iron columns
which support wrought iron roof trusses.
AS general rule the columns are
placed lengthwise of the building at
the uniform distance apart of "a feet,
and the sides of the building for the
height of seven feet from the ground
are finished with timber framed in pam
els between the columns, and above the
seven feet with glazed sash. Portions
of the sash are movable for ventilation.
The wrought iron columns are composed
of rolled channel bars with plates riv-
tied to the tlanges. The roof trusses
are similar in form to those in general
use for depots and warehouses, and
consist of straight rafters with struts
and tic bars.

TROUBLE ATTHE LApwA1 INDIAN AaENc,

TROUBLE AT THE LApwA1 INDIAN AGENCY.
1t appears from recent intelligence
that there is danger of an Indian out
break at the Lapwai agency. A large
portion of the reservation is covered by
private claims represented by Mr.. w.
G. Langford, who after several years
effort has obtained a recognition of his
title and an order from Washington
directing the proper authorizes to dis
possess the Indians and deliver the
lands up to him. The Indians threaten
to burn all the buildings and improve
ments on the reservation before it shall
pass out of their possession. This
was the situation of affairs at last ac-
counts. Gen. Howard has notified the
War Department of the hostile attitude
of the Indians and awaits instructions.
