The District Debt.

TREASURER HYATT PROPOSES REFUNpINa SCHEME.
Treasurer Hyatt's annual report shows that
the principal of the debt of the District has de-
creased from S24,092,4 $50 July 1, 1873, to
$40, 5Sl, 450 July 1, 1888, being decrease by
operation of the sinking fund and otherwise of
%, 511 900. The net reduction of interest
charge is $109,517. The treasurer recommends
that Congress authorize the issue of bonds
bearing interest payable semi-annually. not to
exceed per cent per annum, bonds to be re-
deemable at pleasure after two years, and pay
able ten years from date, to be negotiated in
the market at not less than their par value, in
the same manner as United States bonds were
negotiated, the proceeds to be applied to the
redemption of the bonds maturing in 1891 and
1892. The sinking fund for each year from
1891, the treasurer says, could then be applied
to the redemption of bonds at par. In this
way, it is thought the bonds issued for refund
ing could be retired before their maturity.
The sinking fund for the water stock bonds
will retire those bonds at maturity in 1902 and
1903 by applying to their redemption at that
time the amount of the fund invested in other
bonds of the District The thirty-year funding
bonds, amounting to 1904, 100, maturing in 1902,
could also be retired without refunding leav-
ing the 3.65 per cent bonds only outstanding,
The foregoing plan of funding and ultimate
redemption Of bonds contemplates the invest
ment of the sinking fund for the old funded
loan and water stock bonds in bonds of the old
funded debt.
The estimates for the next year are as fol-
lows: For interest and sinking fund Oh the
bonds, Sl,2l3, 94S; for interest and sinking fund
on one-half of the amount appropriated to in
crease the water supply, $50, 4l6, and for cur
rent expenses, SO, 800.

England and America.

LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL STRONGLY URGES THE
CULTIVATION OF FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO
NATIONS.
In addition to the remarks quoted in The
STAR on Saturday, Lord Randolph Churchill
in his speech at Paddington, said that he
attached the greatest importance to the main
tenance by England of an imperturbable and
friendly attitude toward the United States. He
regarded the attitude taken by MIR. Cleveland
after the rejection of the fisheries treaty by the
Senate as an unfortunate one. The utmost
allowance ought to be made for the American
position on the Sackville affair in view of the
time at which it occurred Mr.. Cleveland q
action had been rather sharp, but it did not
justify the menaees, sneers and suiks in which
the newspapers Of England had INDUCED A
war between England and America, he declared.
would be more atrocious and dangerous than
any war since God created the earth. He
trusted that the governments policy toward
the new Washington administration would be
conceived with view TO making the American
people England's best allies on all questions
and to producing durable friendship between
the English-speaking races, thus guaranteeing
to humanity in turn the blessings of liberty
and peace.

Washed by q Great Wave,

ONE OF THE ETRUR1As CREW KILLED AND A
PASSENGER INJURED ON THE PASSAGE FROM
ENGLAND.
The Cunarder Etruria reached New York
yesterday after a very rough passage. She left
Queenstown Saturday, November 10, with Cap
tain Cook on the bridge. All day Sunday the
storm continued with increasing force. Toward
evening Captain Cook gave orders that all pas
sengers must keep below deck or he would not
be responsible for their lives. The weather
Monday was the severest experienced during
the entire trip. hinge wave came tumbling
down behind the Etruria. Three of the crew,
Thomas Murphy, Jacob Moett and Joseph
wamboid, were standing on the port side Of
the ship. Murphy and Moett saw the big wall
Of water. All the seamen on duty at the time
were thrown violently to the deck and swept
backward and forward. As soon as the wave
rolled off and the deck could be seen Wambold
was found wedged between the deck-house and
one Of the ventilating tunnels. The wave had
pinned him there as though it was o sharp
pointed knife and had gone clean through his
body. He died the following morning. Wednes-
day evening another rough time was ex-
perienced, during which steerage passenger
named Colt was thrown from his bunk by q
lurch Of the ship and sustained a fractured
wrist Three other sailors were injured. but
not seriously. The vessel was not damaged.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE OF UNITED STATES
GUNBoAT IN THE EAST.
The Singapore Free Press of the 9th of Octo-
Der says: 1.-THE United States gunboat Juniata,
Commander W. c. Wise, arrived from Hong
Kong this morning homeward bound to New
York. The Juniata has had very rough ex-
perience Of it on the passage down, meeting
with very heavy typhoon when about 800
miles out from Hong Kong. She left Hong
Kong about 10 O'Clock on the morning
of the 9th of September. About noon
on the following day the wind began to
rise and increased in violence until it
blew a perfect hurricane. The gale lasted
two days, and during that time the Juniata
lost four of her boats, blew away her new
stormsails, damaged the steering gear and
shipped 80 much water that the ports had to
be broken open to relieve the ship. Our re-
porter went on board and interviewed
several of the officers, who describe the
terrific. The sail-covers, tightly laced round
the spars, were blown off as if they were made
of paper, and the men working on deck threw
away their oil-skins and superfuOus clothing
to avoid being blown overheard. The boats
were torn off by the wind from the davits. and
blown away like matchwood On the second
day Of the gale Commander Wise was thrown
heavily to the deck by a sea, and sustained in
juries to the face, besides breaking his nose.
Most of the clothing of the officers has been
spoiled through water, Of which there was at
one time 3 feet in the ship. Although opinion
is very much divided as to whether the storm
encountered was typhoon or merely heavy
gale Of wind, yet every one on board is unani-
nous in saying that If it was merely a straight
away gale it was certainly the liveliest one ever
met. The ship at one time was in critical
position, and had the engines stopped the fate
of the Juniata would have been sealed She
will probably remain here for about ten days
or fortnight. and will 60 to Tanjong Papar

A YOUTHFUL PRISONER.
He Attempts to XIII the Family of His
Uncle,

David Terrell, q thirteen-year-old colored
boy, was arrested last evening by Officer
Broacker, of the third precinct, and locked up
on charge of attempting to poison the
family of his uncle, VIM. Gaskins, an oyster
dealer, who lives at No. lila 10th street. The
family consists of Gaskins and his wife. his
mother-inlaw, and his sister, Caroline Terrell,
and her son David. On several occasions all
the members of the family, with the exception
OF David, were taken sick, and, although he
was always a very bad boy, he was not sus-
pected of causing their illness. The boy
would not go to school, and was otherwise 80
uncomfortable that his uncle found il neces-
sary on several occasions to give him a thrash
ing. 1t happened that each time he did SO the
members of the family were taken sick d.
rectly afterward Another significant fact was
that David was never taken sick. The first two
times that the members of the family were
taken i'll they soon got over their sickness and
paid no more attention to it.
POISON IN THE STEW.
About two weeks ago Mrs. Gaskins made q
stew for dinner. The stew was left ON the
stove for few minutes while she went to an
other part of the premises. When she re-
turned she discovered that the stew had turned
green. She could not account for the color of
the food, but fearing something was wrong she
chickens ate it and died. Another stew was
made. 1t did not turn green, but it made them
all sick just the same. David did not eat any
of the stew and consequently suffered no pain
as did the others.
DOSE IN THE BEER.
Saturday night David rushed the growler"
for his uncle. He returned with pitcher Of
beer which was drank. 1t tasted as If it had
been "doctored" An examination of the beer
showed that there was a yellow sediment in the
bottom of the pitcher. The boy was then sus-
pected for the first time. Yesterday morning
he was sent to Sunday school, and during his
absence the premises were thoroughly searched
and in the coal shed was found bottle con-
tanning yellow liquid There was no label on
the bottle. The liquid looked as though it was
made of mixture of poisonous insect powder
and water. When the boy returned home for
dinner his uncle accused him Of using poison.
He was badly frightened, and admitted that he
had made several attempts to poison the family,
and last evening the officer arrested him. The
boy said that on former occasions he had used
black mortar, but the last time he used roach
powder.
SENT TO THE REFORM SCHOOL.
This morning in the Police Court the pris-
oner pleaded guilty to a charge Of incorrigi-
bility and was sentenced to the reform school.

chicken belonging to Patrick Mailer, of No.

fact that he had the chicken, and said he tied
it in his house to prevent it from fghing with
his rooster. He said he did not tie his own
rooster because he could not catch it. The
judge thought he should not have tied the
other mans rooster and not his own, and fined
him Is.
