HOr SPRINGS, ARK.
The Government Merely Tenant
atWfIl, Although n the Real owner.

"Gath" in the New York Tribune:
1t is rather strange thai when the gov
erhmsnt undertakes TO do a philaI-
thropic thing in the way of a business
enterprise it generally gets swindied.
The reservation at Hot Springs, Ark,
is an ILLUSTRATION. 1t was set aside a }
a national sauitarium, but according
to Senator Berry the government is
getting much the worst of the bargain.
The springs are owned by the govern
ment, and it has gone to much expense
there; but Senator Berry says that
Capt. Jacobs of the United Saes
army, who had charge of building the
government hospitals there last sum-
mer, was actually compelled to buy
water for the use OF the government in
the construction OF that building. Ger
tain owners OF lighthouses leased from
the government at nominal rates, Mr..
Berry says, have a complete monopoly
Of the springs. These leases expired
in 1883 and Secretary Teller declined
to renew them. Mr.. Berry gays that
a;aS' ess.. k.sA ls5 .ssist sAt Secretary of
the Interior last fail and told him that
in the interest OF the government these
leases should not be renewed until
after legislation which he hoped to get
through Congress at this session. The
Assistant Secretary promised that he
would not renew them. Last week
Mr.. Berry discovered that some of the
leases had been renewed since Con-
gress met, although they expired two
years ago. He was naturally indig-

A Dynamite Sensation.

New YORK, February "A Nash
vile TENN special, dated yesterday,
to the T1nes says: A sensation was
created here to-day by the discovery
of an attempt to blow up the pas
senger ferrybost Pearl with dynamite.
The Pearl is a small steamer used in
conveying people from the west bank
of the Cumberland river to East
Nashville during the construction Of
the new iron bridge. 1t is daily
patronized by 5000 persons. Henry
Robertson, the Fl eman, found in a
pile of coal from which the furnace is
supplied dynamite cartridge one foot
in length, with fuse attached. 1t is
not known at what time the cartridge
was placed in the coal, or by whom,
but it is evident that the intention
was to blow up the boat. Had the
cartridge been put in the furnace
tremendous explosion would have oc-
Cured, and not only would the boat
have been totally wrecked, but many
lives would have been lost. 1t is sup
posed that some one who had q
grudge against some person or persons
connected with the boat adopted this
method OF securing revenge. The
cartridge was thrown into the river
by an officer OF the boat.

The Postal Telegraph.

WASHINGTON, February 2. The
House Committee on Postoffices and
Post Roads received a letter f'om DR..
Norvin Green, president of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, this
morning, saying he was unable to ap-
pear before the committee on the post
al telegraph question to-day, owing TO
physical indisposition and to lack of
time to give the subject the examina-
tion it demanded. He said the sub
ject had been fully csnvsssed two
years ago, but that since that time,
under the spur OF sharp competition,
rat 30 had been greatly reduced and
new experience realized which the
committse might. desire to know some
thing about. He desired to be heard
before the committee madea decision
on the question.
Mr.. Morey, chairman OF the Post
Office Committee in the last Congress,
was present by invitation OF the COM
mittee. He said he had no interest in
the question other than the interest
attaching 70 public question 10 which
he had given some study. He advo-
Gated the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Rogers.

A stst ament was made, on the author
ity OF the Attorney General, that the
press had not obtained its information
in regard to the Dustin letters from
the Department of Justice. This gave
rise TO haIf-humorous discussion on
the premature publication of proceed

have kept secret. The fact was re-
called that, though the press had been
discussing the relations between the
Senate and the Executive for several
weeks, and that both parties in the
Senate had held caucuses upon the
subject, no authorized or legitimate
information had been given out, and
that, so far as the public had any right

about information, or reasons, or pa
