OVERHEAD WIRES.
The Law Provides No Penalty for its
Violation.

Three employees of the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone company were arrested this
morning by Policeman Bosrdman and taken to
the Police Court. charged with violating the
receNt act of Congress which prohibits the con-
struction of overhead wires. They gave their
names as Solomon Bell, Thos Gray. aud Robt
Tripkle The men were at work connecting
the wires in order to put up telephone in the
Office of Mr.. Chas J. Tanning. the slate worker
on II, between 9th and 10th streets northwest
The police were notified by julius Emner
of the violation of the law. and on his
complaint the arrests were made. When the
case was called to the attention of the pros
ecuting attorney, Mr.. Armes. that official did
not have a copy OF the law.
Mr.. Bryan, of the telephone company, ap-
pearcd i'll the interest Of the defendants and
there being no charge filed against them, they
were discharged.
Mr.. Armcs subsequently found a copy of the
act of COngre IS which fixes no penalty. so that
no prosecution under it would amount to any,
thing. Alr. .Armes says that he proposes to
look into the question further.
The prosecutor was an agent of a rival tele-
phone company. who. being restrained bv law
from extending the wires under his control
was unwilling that others should have advan-
tages of which his company was deprived
Worhmen who were assigned to stretch the wire
in question were caught Cnledvoring to carry
out their orders and We're arrested. This case
goes to show that the law against overhead
wires is not enforced by the Commissioners
and it is considered to indicate that the wav to
enforce it is by preventing through the police
the erection OF such wires and the tearing down
of wires Illegally erected. and not by delaying
until the wires are put up and then arresting
the workmen.

LONDON, May 3.-An interview with Mr. VIM

Barrow-ln-Furness, leaves the impression that
he would like to declare himself for Mr.. Glad
stone and home rule. but that he does not vet
feel able to leave his friends on the other side
OF the house. There has been going on quietly
within a short time a revusion of feeling
among the unionists generally, outside the alb
solute leaders of the party, toward Mr.. Glad
stone and the cause the grand Old man so
gallantlv supports. Since the Birmingham
fight and the exchange of bitter letters between
Chamberlain and Churchill. many of the union
lists whose interest IN their party was languid at
oest, are about willing to seize upon almost
any preteXt to get out of the anomalous po-

SIR JULIAN PAUNCEPOTE.
The British Minister Presented to the
President by Mr. Blaine.

Secretary Blaine appeared at the State de-
partment this morning looking very well and
showing no traces of his recent illness. Soon
after his arrival, Sir Julian Pauncefote. the new
British minister, came to the department ac-
companied by Mr.. Edwardes, the charge de
affaires. and Secretary Herbert with several
other attaches. The new minister was intro
duced to Secretary Blaine, who Immediately
proceeded with the party to the White House.
where Sir Julian was formally presented to the
President. The usual speeches, on such occa-
sions, were exchanged. Just at the conclusion
of the ceremony Mr.. Walker Blaine and Assist
ant Secretary Wharton made their appearance
in the red room.
ALL TALL MEN.
The messengers in the State department were
considerably exercised to-day about the great
height of Sir Julian Pauncefote, who they de-
clare. is 'at least seven feet high" Acknowl-
edging this to be an exaggeration, it is vet true
that he Is much above the average height. In
fact. the legation is composed of very tall men.
Mr.. Walker Blaine said this morning that the
six men of the legation here aggregate thirty
seven feet in height

THE CENSUS BUREAU.
Quarters i'm Atlantic Building Leased
Geographer Appointed.

The superintendent of the census. Mr.. Robt.
p. Porter, has leased temporary quarters in
the Atlantic building for the use of the Office.
At present the census force is confined to the
superintendent and few assistants. and the
seven rooms on the fourth floor OF the building
mentioned will afford sufficient accommodation
for some months to come. Where the perma-
nent quarters of the census bureau will be
is not known, it is found diff cult to secure
building of sufficient size. When the work
begins in earnest there will be some 1,5OO
clerks employed. 1t may be found necessary
to occupy several buildings as was done during
the last census. In that event the rooms IN the
Atlantic building which suit Mr.. Porter
exactly may be used for the executive quarters.
APPOINTMENT OF GEoGRAPHER OF THE CENSUS.
Mr.. Porter has not as yet completed his list
of principal assistants. The latest appoint
ment, which was made to-day. is that of Mr.
Henry Gannett. of the geological survey. as
geographer of the census. Like DIR. Billings.
who will have charge of the division of vital
statistics and mortality, Mr.. Gannett serves
without compensation. He was the geographer
of the last census. and is regarded as the best
equipped man in the country in his specially.

BOodlers and Counterfeiters.

Chief Bell of the secret service division, of
the treasury, has been informed of the arrest of
w. S. Simpson by Agent Harris, at San Fran
cisco, on Wednesday. on the charge of sending
doodle circular" rs"-advertisements for coun-
terfeit money-through the mail. This is the
first arrest under the law, approved March 2.

Agent Harris also arrested. ON the same day,
Gustave Barstadt on charge of fcounterfeiting.
He was furnished with a complete outfit for
making standard silver dollars and 25-cent
pieces.
Chief Bell has also received an interesting
report from Secret-Service Agent Wild in re-
lation to the trial of C. s. McClard at Little
Rock, Ark, recently, on a charge of passing a
81 and 81 greenback raised to $40 and so,
respectively. He was arrested in Arkadelphia
Ark. on the 18th of last December, when he
passed these notes in the store of the mayor in
payment for some shirts. He was indicted
April "a, and tried April 90, the verdict being
not guilty. He showed that he received the
notes from some other person. and was ignor-
ant OF their character, living some distance in
the wilderness, and seldom seeing money. The
notes were passed by the U. s. attorney to the
jurymen, who examined them, one after
another, but in some mysterious way they dis
appeared and have not been found.

Shorter Time to San Francisco.

CHICAGO, May 3.-An adjourned meeting of
the general managers and general superin-
tendents of the roads between Chicago and the
Missouri river and the Union Pacific was held
yesterday to act upon the proposition of the
Union Pacific, that its eastern connection SO
grange the time of their limited trains as to
connect with a limited daily, which the Union
and Central Pacific roads mean to run hereaf-
ter in place of the Golden Gate special. which
ran only once week. The representative of
the Union Pacific stated that all arrangements
for running the new train between San Fran
cisco and Omaha have been completed. and if
the roads east Of the Missouri river showed
the proper spirit and arranged the time sched-
ules of their trains to closely connect with the
Union Pacific train and also with the limited
trains east from Chicago, shorter time could be
made than ever before between San Francisco
and New York. After long discussion the
meeting adjourned without having reached any
conclusion, leaving it to the discretion of each
road to make the arrangement if il SO desires.

BISHOP POTTER EXPLAINS
What He Meant by "Vulgsrity'' I'm HI,

NEw YORK, May S.-Bishop Potter has been
much criticized for his use Of the phrase that
'Jeffersonian simplicity means Jacksonian yul-
garity," during his centennial sermon. In A.
interview yesterday he explained the remark a.
follows:
''Nulgarity. as used it, did not refer 20 man

means common The manners of the people

April The Stars Banner Month,

In calling attention to the attractive list in
another column, of the contents of to-morrow's
triple sheet, THE STAR takes occasion to tender
its thanks to the public for the generous patron
age extended in recognition of its conductors
efforts to meet all legitimate demands on mod
ern journalism. The common verdict is that
The STAR was never SO good newspaper as it
is now, and that never in the history of the
national capital has the city had a journal SO
complete and comprehensive as its daily issues.
This achievement is simply the result of liberal
well-directed enterprise joined to a just COM
prehension of the spirit and requirements of
the age. No other paper ever published here
had or has or is likely to have anything like
The STARS mechanical equipment, its force of
reporters and correspondents or its telegraphic
service, and none can therefore hope to match
it as newspaper. Having the complete and
exclusive day service of the New York Associ-
ated Press, supplemented by the full day re-
ports of the United Press, and regularly receiv-
ing exclusive special dispatches from Europe
and all important points ON the western CONT
nent, up to the very hour of going to press, it
is able to present to its readers full and relia-
BILE account Of the worlds doings each day, far
more complete and much earlier than the same
service can possibly be secured from any other
quarter.
In short, as an instrumentality for the collec-
ton and circulation of local. domestic and for
elgn intelligence it is absolutely without a ri
val. With these conditions, it follows as a ne
cessity that as an advertising medium The
STAR can have no peer nor even a competitor
worth considering. That this fact Is under
stood and accepted by the public, is as certain
as it is gratifying. AS evidence on this point
it is only necessary to mention that its ddcertis-
ing business during the month of april just closed
erceeded, both an numbers and amount, that of dny
Other month strce the paper ,cas established!
Equally satisfactory is the showing in regard
to circulation. The number of STARS printed
and sold during the month of April also largely
exceeded the regular normal output of any pre-
yicus month. The only exception to this ag-
gregate was March last when the extra sales
incident to the Inauguration ceremonies pushed
the average for that month some what above
the April showing. But, on the basis of ordi-
nary everyday business demand and supply.
April was the banner month for The STAR. as
The STAR is and is going to be the banner pa
per of Washington!
