THE NEW NAVAL OBSERVATORY.
There Will be Trouble if Mas~achu.
setts Avenue is Extended on the Line
Proposed.

The Secretary OF the Navy has not yet approved
the plans for the new naval observatory building,
and before doing so viii get the opinion OF promi-
nent architects as to the advisablity of adopting
the plans which were prepared several years ago.
Many Officers are OF the opinion that the plans as
prepared are way behind the times, and say that
plans which might have been very good, six years
ago, are utterly worthless now. The strides
which have been made In science should be COM
plemente1 with like Improvements in buildings in
tended for scientific purposes Instead Of erecting
one large building they think there should be a
central building for Official purposes, while
branching from Il, connected by passages. should
be the departments for different kinds Of astro-
nomical work, so that each branch should be
practically separated from the Others In the
meantime 1t fs understood that the work OF exca-
walton on the new observatory site above West
washington, will be commenced shortly, more as
an assertion OF the right and title OF the property
than as commencement Of building operations
In view OF the proposed extension Of
avenue, which Will pass over the highest point OF
the observatory grounds and will be within a hum
dred feet OF the proposed observatory building.
Naval Omcers interested in the matter claim that
this cannot be allowed under any circumstances.
The site was selected for the purpose Of being
Guided, so as to be out OF the way OF travel, and
therefore as free possible from vibration or any
Kind and IL was selected before the plan OF exten
sion OF Massachusetts avenuewas laid out. III will
be necessary, they say, to defect the line OF exten-
sion OF the avenue so that it will clear the obServ
at0ry grounds or there will be trouble.

THE EHEEDMANsS BANK
Report Of the Controller Of the Cur
rency.
he FAvORs THE ASSUMPTION OF THK LIABILITIES By
By THE GOVERNMENT.

The Speaker laid before the House to-day q re
port from the controller OF the currency er-oefcio
commissioner OF the Freedman's Savings and
Trust company, on the affairs OF that institution.
The report shows that on December 4th there was
a balance on hand OF s7,719.
The controller makes strong plea in favor OF
the assumption by the government OF the labili.
ties OF the institution toits depostOrs He quotes
at length the reports Of his predecessors on the
subject and says:
'sMore than Ii, 600 depostors had at their credit
at the time OF the failure OF the bank only S. or
less each, and it may be necessary that these
should be sought out and paid with as little cost
to them as possible; while thousands OF others
have still at their credit amounts so small as to be
entitled tOa like share Of consideration"
He says 1t would seem proper to allow at least
three years for the presentation and auditing OF
these claims and suggest January 1St 1890. as a
term OF final liquidation. He is inclined to think
that the estimate Of his Immediate predecessor,
that 81 GOO 600 would be sufficient settle all de-
mands likely to be proved, is correct.
In his report the controller reflects strongly
on the former managers OF the institution.
He says that the congressional investigation
in 1879 revealed nothing but a hope
less tangle OF involved and disputed
reckonings. Nearly every man OF position and
means had Withdrawn preparatory to the collapse
never given adequate attention to the con-
cern. Some of the active managers, the
controller says come under stronger suspicion OF
dishonesty. Yet no criminal proceedings have
ever been taken nor has recovery been attempted
through process of law.

TIE DAT OF HIS TRIAL TO BE FIXED NEXT MONDAY.
This morning, in the Criminal Court, the case OF
John L. West, the c0lored ex-clerk Of the land
of1ce, indicted for housebreaking and for an
assault with intent to commit a rape on Mrs. Mary
j. Page, was called. The district attorney stated
that he had had West brought up from Jail that a
day might be fixed for trial.
Judge Macarthur handed the district attorney a
letter, which he peruSed, and said Col Cook asks
time on the ground OF sickness. 1t seemed that
the prisoner had engaged Col Cook, knowing that
he was sick at the time evidently with the object
Of gaining time. The condition OF Mrs. Page
should also be considered, and It was desirable
that o trial be had, that her friends who have
come here TO attend her might take her away with
them.
The prisoner asked that he might say word.
He stated that it was not true that he knew OF
colonel Cooks illness; that he had no knowledge
OF his af1icttOn. He was as anxious for the trial
as any one, and had come rrom long distance for
that purpose.
The court said he would take up the motion ON
Monday.
The district attorney consulted with some OF
Mrs. Pages friends, and concluded to let the case
60 over the holidays. He would, however, ask on
Monday that the day Of trial be hxed.
The court acQuiesced In the suggestion.

A Division on II i'm SaliSbnry.s Cabinet
Which May Lead TO Trouble.

Which May Lead TO Trouble.
Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Dec. 16-An announcement was made
this morning concerning the great conserya-
tive measure for local government which is sup
posed to be about to exercise SO vital an influence
on the fortunes OF the conservatives i'm the coup-
try. The announcement shows still further the
truth about the split in the cabinet to which
ferred again yesterday. The local government bill
prepared by the uberals-that is by Dilke-was
left for the present government. Churchill had
persuaded the committee OF the cabinet in Sails
burys absence to adopt this bin, and with 1t the
radical elective principle. When Salisbury dis
covered this on his return, he appealed to the
whole cabinet against the decision OF the commit
tee 1earn that the struggle between Salisbury and
his OgarchS, and Churchill and his socialists, as
they have been claSSed, was prolonged and excited
Salisbury found himself in a bare majority. The
BILL therefore, will not rest upon the elective prn-
cfple absolutely, and is certain to be rejected
unchanged. II it is rejected complete aliena-
ton of Churchill and two OF three other cabinet
ministers from Salisbury and the Old tory party
Will be inevitable, with the obvious results 10 the
government already pointed out.
By Associated Press
A Newspaper Opinion.
LONDON, Dec. 16.-The Daily Ne,cs says; Lord
Salisbury has carried a majority OF the cabinet
with him in adopting Mr.. GoSchen'S views of a
local government bill as opposed to those or Lord
Randolph Churchill backed by Mr. Chamberlin,
Charles Dixie and elaborated by Mr.. Chamberlain
The bill will Therefore not be based upon the
elective principle, and Will probably create dis
SenSton in the unfOnfsts.
