THE STEEL CRUISERS.
a Proposition that Their Construction
be DiYided Among Several Rnitders

A Proposition that Their Construction
be Divided Among Several Builders.
The bill recently passed by the Senate
authorizing the construction of seven ad-
ditional steel cruisers, says Washington
special to the Boston Globe, lies upon the
Speakers table, with no prospect of re-
ceiving immediate attention. 4 motion
was made several days ago to take up the
-billand refer it to the Committee on Naval
Affairs, but objection was made by the OPP
pOnents Of the measure. When the Naval
Affairs Committee is next called, motion
to refer the bill will be made. Represent
atiYe HaTmer, one Of the oldest members
of the committee, says the bill cannot
pass the House in its present shape, but
he believes it can be amended so as to
obYiate the objections of many Demo-
Gratis. MIR. Harmer's plan is to so change
its provisions that no single shipbuilding
firm can construct more than two or three
of the proposed vessels, thus dividing the
work among the different private Yards.
He would preserve the competitive bid
ding system and making the awards
among the different builders on the basis
of the lowest responsible bid received
from any one Of them. Mr.. HaTmer saws
If Congress would appropriate $1J0,000 to
be used in the purchase of machinery for
the POrtsmOuth, New York, League Island
and Norfolk navy yards, all the engines
and boilers for the cruisers could be
built economically and in the best manner
by the government.

A Split on GIadstone's Egyptian Policy.

there is a Cabinet split on the Egyptian
policy of Mr.. Gladstone. The Earl of

to fighting. Mr.. Gladstone recalled his

the Afghans, he said: 'sIt is disgraceful

done: A Parker dynamo machine,

JOAQUIN MILLER,s CABIN.

Place to Give a Poet Inspiration.
Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sierras.
says Washington special, has just got
into his log cabin. l called upon him in
it, and found tall, well made, blue-eyed
man of forty-ive, with long, tawny hair
flowing out from under his slouch hat.
with pantalOOns tucked into pair of fine
boots, and a gOOd-natured air of Western
wildness, which well accorded with his
picturesque surroundings. He received
me cordially and kindly showed me over
the cabin, saying that for fifteen years he
had been wandering about over the face
of the earth, and that he was glad to feel
that he had at last place he could call
his home.
The cabin is on the nights at the head
of Sixteenth street, the great street of the
Washington of the future AS Waukeen
says: "The Presidents house is at one
end of it and his hut is at the other, but
that while he has a cabin the President
has only cabinet" Sixteenth is a great
wide street paved with asphalt, and lined
alternately with $4,000 mansions and $50
negro huts. The White House, almost
bathed by the Potomac and faced by Laf-
ayette Park, is its starting point, and half
way up towards Mr.. Miller's cabin is a
green plat in which bronze equestrian
statute of Gen. Scott looks at the EXecu-
tive Mansion. The street steadily rises.

Church, George H. PendletOn's mansion,

great palace, and like mixture till it
reaches the boundary of the town, where
there is jump upward in the shape of
a ffty-foot hill or plateau, running back
into the country. On this plateau Joaquin
Miller has bought a lot and put up one of
the prettiest of log cabins.
The lot runs almost to the edge of the
hill, and the view is certainly one of the
finest IN the United States. Mr.. Miller
says he has never seen anything to equal
1t, and that if man can write poetry any
where he ought to be able to write it here.
Stand in front of the large yard of the

shade it, all Washington lies before you

DOMINION SENATOR'S AROUSED.
Alleged Murder of a Canada Indian by
Men from the United States.

Alleged Murder of a Canada Indian by
Men from the United States.
An Ottawa (Ont.) special of March u
to the New York Herald, says: In reply
to Senator Macdonald, Sir Alexander
Campbell, Minister of Justice, stated in
the Senate to-day that it had come to the
notice of the Dominion Government that
an Indian, named LOui Sam, had been
seized within the boundaries of British
Columbia by party of masked men from
the neighbOring American territory. and
afterward hanged by them. Immediately
upon receiving the information the Do
minion Government had sent a message
to the British Minister at Washington,
asking him to bring the matter to the no.
tice Of the United States Government A
few days since Sir Alexander stated that
he had received a telegram from the Lieu
tenant-GOvernOr of British Columbia to
the effect that he had received a commu-
nication from the Governor of Washing
ton Territory assuring him that he would
do all in his power to identify the perpe-
traitors of the outrage.
Senator Macdonald drew the attention
of the Senate to the gross breach of inter.
national law which had been perpetrated
on the people of the Dominion. and he
hoped that the government would not al
low such an insult to pass without repre-
senting the facts to the authorities at
Washington.
Senator Alrnon, during the discussion.
reflected severely on the British Minister
at Washington, whom he thought would
have been better occupied in acting
promptly on the representations made OF
this case from Ottawa than in preparing
bogus statistics of the exodus from Cana
da, as two weeks had elapsed since he
was first notified, yet he evidently had
taken no action in the premises up 60 the
present time.

THE BOSTON BANK FAILURE.
Opening of the House InvestigatiOn-AI
Angry Scene.

Opening of the House nvestigation-An
Angry Scene.
The House Committee on Banking and
Currency, says u Washington special of
the 2lst, began the investigation of the
failure of the Pacific National Bank, of
Boston. The Comptroller of the Currency
and his employees are accused of RESPONSE
bility, first, for the failure of the bank, by
neglect to investigate its condition as the
law requires; and secondly, for permitting
1t to resume business when it was appa-
rent that its assets were not of the value
represented by the Bank Examiner.
The bank finally closed its doors a few
weeks after the Comptroller permitted it
to resume.
Several of the shareholders of the bank
were present at the meeting this morn
ing, as were also Comptroller Knox, Bank
Examiner Needham and Receiver Price.
Mr.. Knox made a broad denial of the
charges preferred against him, and ac-
cused the stockholders, who started the
investigation, of attempting to libelOusly
asperse his character.

one of the movers for the investigation.
who lost $4,000 by the failure, followed
Mr.. Knox, and accused Mr.. Needham of

The committee adjourned before Mr.. Need
ham had an opportunity to reply.
The Examiner is a short, thin, nervous
man, with a bald head and white side
whiskers, who has the reputation of being
good church member and an excellent
neighbOr. Bustling across the commit
tees room to where Frost, a heavy. broad
shOuldered man stood, Needham began Il
wOrdy attack upon him. With some pro-
family he told Frost that he was coward
and a liar, and announced his intention to
whip him then and there. Frost was so
astonished that he suffered and STAN
mered, vainly seeking words to make
reply. Chairman Buckner quickly put
himselfbetween the two men, showed them
apart, reminded them of their folly, and
Mr.. Frost left the room, Needham firing a
volley of severe adjectives in his wake.
The inquiry promises interesting disclos-
ures, and it is reported that the inYestiga-
tion Of other bank failures will follow.
