WASHINGTON, APRIL 90, 1886.
THE PERMANENT EXPOSITION.

The New York World the other day
contained some excellent and very
timely suggestions relative TO the cele.
bration of the approaching centennial
of the Constitution, and remarked that
II was time now that the plans for this
great national commemoration were
taking definite shape. The CRITrc,
fully concurring with the views of our
esteemed contemporary on this subject,
took pleasure in reproducing them but
we very much regret to state that the
World should have so far ncutralized
the force of Its recommendations rs
to suggest that the proposed cclebra-
tion should he held in New York.
1t is, Of course, entirely proper that
the chief metropolis of the country
should duly honor an anniversary Of
this character, as 1t doubtless will, and
as other large cities in all probability
will; but the National observance of
the day, associated rs it is with the
Permanent Exposition project, must be
at the National Capital. The ami
versary of the adoption of the Consti-
tuition has been fixed upon as the date
for the Inauguration of the Exposition,
and there can certainly be no serious
thought of locating the Exposition,
under the auspices and sole direction of
the General Government, at any other
point than Washington.
The experience of the Government in
lending its aid to private enterprises of
this character has not been such as to
warrant the hazard of Its repetition.
The doors of the Treasury may be
considered closed upon all like appro-
priations in the future; and so far as
the proposed exposition is concerned,
it is preposterous to suppose that 1t
will invest dollar for its establish
ment outside of the District of
Columbia.
The Government has q plant already
here which it would be impossible to
duplicate--the nucleus of a grand ex-
hibition, which, including grounds, is
worth millions of dollars. These can
not be transported anywhere else. They
can only be utilized where they are,
and upon this foundation, with the
cooperation of the States ard neigh.
boring governments, Gan he erected an
exposition at comparatively little ex-
pense, which shall be the enduring

were impossible to attain elsewhere.

ONE thing can be said of the Senate:
II is we'll up with its work and has
time to even pay attention to bills of n
private character. Such bills generally
stand less chance Of receiving consider.
alton than any other measure of pro-
posed Legislation. But yesterday the
Senate passed about four hundred such
bills and did not do any talking worth
mentioning. If the esteemed Senate
will do away with secret sessions 1t can
stay.

THE difference between this country
and the fretful European monarchies
is most emphatically demonstrated in
the action OF the Powers in dealing
with refractory little Greece. They
have ordered her within sevonty-two
hours TO disarm and reduce her army
TO n footing Of not more than $4,000
men. This great country hardly has
as large an army as that, and what is
better, has no particular need of any.

ANNUAL REPORT OF GEN. FIELDS, THE SUPER
INTENDENT.
Mr.. Charles W. Field, The superintendent of
the Hot Springs reservation in Arkansas, in
his annual report to the Secretary of the Inte-
rior, states that the creek improvement had
been placed in good condition, and that the
culvert had been continued to the southern
boundary OF the permanent reservation and
across Reserve street. Cast iron pipes have also
been laid Tor the collection and distribution of
all that hot water which, issuing below the
plane Of the bath-hOuses, had heretofore flowed
to waste. The amount OF hot water now con-
Quoted through the main is SOC, 900 gallons per
day, which. for the want of reservoirs TO receive
and store it, Or any means of conveying 1t To
the bath-h houses, is temporarily led into and
mingies with the water OF The creek. He re.
news the recommendation that $4,000 be ap-
propriated for supplying reservoirs and ma
clinery. which are absolutely required to give
effect ana use TO tins 800, 900 gallons OF invai-
uable water. This system has been adopted
tor the army and navy hospital. Gen. Fields
also renews his recommendation that the water
rent be increased to $40 per tub per year. An
average of 800 poor and afflicted of both sexes
daily resort 10 the free pools, and II the present
increase continues the pool tor males will have
to be enlarged.

THE AQUEDUCT BRIDGE.
Repairs to He Hastenetl
Wells Says the Bridge IL Not Danger

"fhe order MEANS" says Col. Ludlow, speak
Ing OF tne order made by the Commissioners to
close the AQueduct bridge, "that The bridge
company shall close the bridge. If they don't
the District will. 1t is a simple matter, requir-
ing only a barricade and a policeman. This
may Inconvenience the public little, but the
bridge is In such condition, according TO the
reports made to US, that 1t becomes imperatively
necessary to close It."
Building Inspector Entwisle said the bridge
can be temporarily repaired in a few days, SO
as to be Mt for travel while more permanent re-
pairs are being made. He hardly thought, In
view OF the probable purchase of the bridge by
the government. or the building of a new free
bridge in the same locality. that the company
would undertake the expense of repairing the
MIR. H. n. Wells, president of the bridge com.
pany, received the order OF the Commissioners
yesterday afternoon and at once sent word to
the superintendent of the bridge to hasten the
repairsin progress on the bridge. He said to a
STAR reporter that he thought The repairs
would be SO advanced Wednesday that the au-
thOritfes would not think there was need OF en-
forcing the order. He reiterated what he had
stated in his letter to the Comm ssoners, that
the bridge was not in q dangerous condition
and never had been.
THE BRIDGE COMPANY ASK FOR MORE TIME.
Mr. Lacey, of the Aqueduct bridge company
called upon the Commissioners to-day and re.
quested them to suspend their action in relation
to closing the bridge, pending the repairs which
the company have under way. Mr.. Lacey was
asked TO put his request in writing, and when il
is received the Commissioners will formally act
upon 1t. The Commissioners say, however, that
they do not see how they can grant such a re-
quest.
The Commissioners subsequently received a
letter from Mr.. Lacey, requesting that the ope-
ration OF the order be suspended until Saturday
next, by which day IL is expected TO have the
bridge repaired. Commissioner Wheatley said
he did not expect that the order wSud be modi-
fed. The order requires the bridge to be closed
ut = IN. Tomorrow. Ii mas been suggested that
this might work hardship upon Virginia farm
ers, who have not heard OF the order and who
