Appropriations Which Are Needed at
Once.

o<HEDH RELIEF EXPECTED FOR THE FUR
TOUCHED NAVY YARD woRKMEN, ETC.
A subcommittee of the House appropria.
tons committee met late yesterday afternoon
and considered the urgent deficiencies that it
Is deemed necessary to appropriate for at once.
The matter was not disposed of finally and
Monday morning they will meet again. AS
the House does not meet until Tuesday their
recommendations cannot be acted upon until
then. The whole committee will meet early
Tuesday morning to receive the report Of the
subcommittee and to prepare the bill to report
to the House on its Resembling. The
most urgent demand for this action
comes from the suspended employees
of the ordnance department of the
Washington navy yard. Work Is suspended in
cles being $193 900 in one case and S15O,OO0
In the other. The committee will recommend
that this deficiency be supplied at once, and
tuesday morning.
THE OTHER DEFICIENCIES
are as follows: $135, 900 to pay witness fees
in the United States courts and S5O, 900 for
Jurors fees; 100000 for artificial limbs, and
$4,000 for the Treasury building. The Depart
ment or Justice Is without money to pay wit
nesses or jurors and provisions for this def
cheney and such others as the committee think
delay will be put in the same bill with that for
urgent deficiency bill.
The District appropriation bill will have to
give way to this, but will be taken up again by
the committee as soon as the other is dis
posed OF.
NIGHT SCHOOLS.
The committee did not know Of the existence
of the law requiring night schools to be held in
the District, until Mrs. James:called their atten.
ton to 1t yesterday, as mentioned in THE STAR.
The law was passed in 1860, and requires that
there shall be six teachers employed, and that
the schools shall be opened for four months in
the year. They have called upon the Commits
SiOnerS to know ii this law is still in force direct
ing them, If 1t is, to present the estimates in
accordance Herewith. AS 1t Is found that the
law has not been repealed, the committee will
recommend appropriations to carry out its pro-
visions.

The Signal Service Accounts.
GEN. HAZEN SAYS THEY ARE REGULAR AM

GEN. HAZEN SAYS THEY ARE REGULAR AND
CORRECT.
Gen. Hazen said to q STAR reporter to-day
that he had no desire to have an arrangement
made by which the investigation of the reported
irregularities in the signal service accounts
would be dropped, or that any settlement
should be reached in advance OF the most thor
ough investigation. He thought 1t only proper,
however, that action upon such accounts as
those OF Capt. $. NJ. Mills, formerly in charge OF
the property division, should be suspended
until he has an opportunity to reply in person.
de is now in India as one of the two army off,
GERS sent there to witness the maneuvers Of the
British army. The second controller is in com
plete accord with him on this point. Gen. aazen
said that his answer to the second controller
which he had submitted to the Secretary of
War, showed that the alleged irregularities in
the accounts did not exist, or that he was not
responsible for them. He added: "Since have
had control OF this service its moneys to the
best OF my understanding, have In all cases
been applied as intended by Congress-; every
cent has been honestly accounted for, and no
other part of the service has received such care
full attention as its fiscal MANAGEMENT and I
invite the broadcast scrutiny, in any manner it
may be thought best, to everythi relating to
this subject"

Burglars at Work Last Night.

ARREST OF TWO ALLEGED Observation-Disclosures
COLORED MAN AND A WHITE BOY
The high winds last night gave the burglars q
chance to operate without much danger of be-
ing detected. The police, however, were equal
to the occasion, and captured two alleged house
breaker%Owen Taylor, colored man, and
James Martin, a white boy, who gives his age
as sixteen years, the latter being caught before
he had time to secure anything and leave the
invaded premises About IL O'clock pm, near
the corner OF E and 18th Streets Onicer Sutton
Saw Taylor, the cOlOred man, 4lking along
with large bundle ON his shoulder, and he
placed him under arrest. Taylor walked peace
ably along the street until he arrived at the sta
ton house door, when he dealt the officer a blow
in the mouth and attempted to escape, but was
caught by citizen who was passing at the
time and again taken charge of by the otiicer
He was finally taken into the station house and
searched. loaded revolver was found in his
tanned q quantity of valuable clothing In a
coat pocket was found package OF letters
which were addressed to DR.. G. Z. Bronson, 5I3
18th street northwest. DIR. Bronson was sent
for, and he identified the clothing, which were
valued at $40. The police think he entered DR..
Bronson.s mouse py opening rear window:
for q hearing.
About IL o'clock p. M, two white boys were
store on 9th street, opposite the Baltimore and
Potomac depot. The railroad men at the depot
watched the boys for two hours on account Of
arrested, would stand with his back towards the
door as though he was using Jimmy, while the
other boy would walk up and down the street
as though he was watching the police. These
after nearly two hours had passed, both toys
pushed against the door and forced it open.
Martin entered and his companion walked to
Missouri avenue. One OF the railroad men
went out and blow his whistle, which was am
swered by Officer LightDOun. The boy who
stood at the corner escaped. The officer en-
tered the store, and striking light, he found
that several drawers in the store had been
under the counter. The officer took charge Of
him and started towards the seventh precinct

tempt to escape but failed. He was locked up

THE KILLING OF EIGHT SHEEP
HERDERS.
Doubtful Whether 1t WAS Done by
Apaches or Cowboys.


Apaches or Cowboys.
SANTA FEE, n. NJ, Feb. 2O.-Col. J. Francisco
Chaves has received a letter from a trustworthy
party at Las Lunas regarding the killing of
eight sheep herders, mention of which has
already been made in these dispatches The
letter is dated February IL, and states that
valentine Romero's son arrived at Las Lunas
yesterday morning and reported that eight Of
Solomon Luna's sheep herders had a fight with
a band of Apaches on the Little Colorado river,
in Arizona, and that all had been killed.
Major MarmOs came in from La Guna last
night, and reports that he heard en- route that a
number of sheep herders had been killed near
the Arizona line, but he knew nothing as to the
cause of the trouble. Solomon Luna and L.
Luna left Las Lunas yesterday morning at the
head of a mounted posse for the scene of the
trouble, and were joined by Patrocinio Luna
with another posse from Belen." The Next
cans incline to the belief that the killing was
not done by Apaches, but by cowboys The
feeling between the cowboys and sheep herders
has been very bitter of late, owing to disputes
over grazing ground. No word has yet been
received from Luna's posse.

The Blair Educational Bill.

NO DOUBT FELT THAT 1T WILL PASS THE SEN
ATE-sOUTHERN OPPOSITION.
Though stronger opposition to the Blair ed
cational bill has manifested itself than in the
Senate of the last Congress, no doubt is ex-
pressed, either by the friends or enemies of the
measure, of its passage by that body. The most
determined opposition has come from the
south, the section which will obtain much the
larger share of the fund, should the bill become
law. 1t is estimated that at least ten south
ern Senators will vote against the measure, on
the ground that 1t is Unconstitutional and inn
politic that it will tend finally to impair the
public educational systems of the states.
SO Tar as the House is concerned, the measure
has not yet been canvassed, but its friends who
have made some inquiry into the sentiment OF
that body, predict its favorable consideration
there
