TO 60 AHEAD WITH THE WORK
The Improvement of the Quarantine
Station to Begin at Once.

Station to Begin at Once.
The position taken by Lieut.. Carter, the
United States engineer having supervision
of harbor improvements at this port, on the
proposed quarantine improvements by the
city on Long Island, as outlined
in yesterdays MORNING NEWS, was
rather in the nature of a surprise
to the mayor and his special com
mittee, to which has been delegated by
the council the authority to make the
needed improvements at the quarantine
station to facilitate the prompt discharge of
ballast on the island.
Mayor Schwarz said last night that the
necessity for temporary facilities is press
ing, and that the committee will not be
prevented by the dangers which Lieut..
Carter seems TO fear. Objections have been
raised, he said, without any remedies being
suggested The city had its old quarantine
station ruined by the government, and
when the city sought to get Cockspur
island it met with no encouragement. Now
that the city has expended 5000 to estab-
lish qua antine on Long island the city is
told that if it puts any more improvements
at its present station the money is likely to
be wasted by reason of a probable harbor
line to be established by the governments
board of engineers.
Mayor Schwarz says that the committee
proposes to furnish them needed facilities
at quarantine at once. To this end bids
win be opened at noon tomorrow for the
work, and the improvements Will be put at
the present quarantine station. IL is the
intention, he says, of the committee to put
in bulkheads to meet the objections raised
by Lieut., Carter, and to take the ballast
100 Yards or more in shore, SO that it will
obviate the danger of shoaling. The hoist
ing engine will also lie located on the quar-
antine wharves that shipping may not be
detained by troublesome and expensive de-
lays from getting into port

bases and making the vote on the joint
resolution unanimous.
The House of Representatives was quick
to detect the scheme, and when the resolu-
ton came before it gave 1T the necessary
two-thirds vote. Then the now-famous
measure went TO Governor st. John and re-
ceived his signature. ST. John, strange TO
say, had not shown his fine Italian hand in
any of the preliminary work. The resolu-
ton had been prepared in haste and with
no hope of success, and it's passage seems to
have dazed its friends for the time being.
He was certainly apathetic up to the time
it went TO the people in 1880.
There was an awakening IN the fall of
that year such as the State had not known
since "Free-soiW days The Radicals took
the war-path, and the anti-PrOhibitionists,
disguised with the ~unloOked-fOr turn of af-
fairs, made but Intellectual eff
forts to stem the tide. The Republicans
had not previously urged prohibition, but
they a sense enough to "catch on, and
helped bring about the success which fol-
lowed in February, 1881. Year by year the
law was strengthened until it assumed its
present shape. The men. mainly instru-
mental in passing the original resolution
were bitterly opposed to prohibition. Sem
atOr Hamlin, its putatiye parent, was a
pronounced anti-Prohibitionist, and he
worked assiduously to undo the result of
his previous t~houghtless action. All these
men were l-aughing-stocks for a long time
after the people came to appreciate the
rich joke which they had played upon
themselves. Senator Hamlin is now dead.

THE Louisville Commercial is not at
all alarmed by the large investments of
British capital being made in this cOun-
try. Why should it be? The plants
and properties bought with such capital
will still pay taxes here, and remain a
part of the wealth of the country. The
wages and running expenses will go
into American pockets, and only a small
part of the net profits will 60 abroad.
The country profits fully as much by
the investment of foreign capital as the
investors do. The Commercial very
truly says: "The United States is the
richest country in the world to-day, and
the greatest manufacturing country in
the world, and it has come to be so
largely because of the foreign money,
skill and muscle that have been induced
to come here by Our tariff" The
try is not likely to be impoverished by
the investment of foreign capital.

lady who is to marry Lord Fife has had the
benefit OF all these circumstances AS the
Countess of Fife, or more probably as the

Washington Special to New York Press.
Much has already appeared in print as to
a little episode that happened at Cumber-
land, Nd, a few days ago, in which Mrs.
President Harrison aud ~pugilist Jake Kill
rain were alleged to be the prominent fig
ures. The fair mistress of the White House
and the slugger happened to be aboard the
same train, the former on her way to Deer
had for his destination the ring In which
he was to meet Prof. John Lawrence Sulli-
van.
The wife of the President occupied a pri-
and Mrs. Harrison's sister, Private Secre-
of the Census Robert P. Por-
ter. the Mckee babies and DIR. Scott were
her companions. Kilrain and his trainers
and hackers were on cars ahead. Certain
Mrs. Harrison invited Kilrain to visit her
in her car, and that when be did so she not
only assured him of her hope that he would
defeat Sullivan but drank a glass of wine
to his success. Others insisted that the
Little Commodore" had raped his baby
sister over the head with a cane, and that
Kllrain's physician, DR.. DOugherty, had
been summoned to treat the wound. These
newspapers, instead of making Mrs. Harri-
son drink wine with Kilrain, reported that
she had quaffed the sparkling liquid with
DIR. Dougherty. Now for the truth.
Mrs. Harrison did not invite the pugilist
to her car; neither did she meet him. The
only beverage the first lady of the land was
able to obtain during the trip was a mere
sip of cold coffee, which q friend. after be-
ing hustled about the Cumberland dining
saloon by the tOughs who followed Kilrain,
finally succeeded in securing for her.
While the mob was fighting for a bite in
the restaurant. a crowd gathered about
Mrs. HarrisOn's car, and catching sight of
the stalwart superintendent of the census,
mistook him for Kilrain. .Volleys of cheers
dandy!" "Ah, come out and show yourselfw
"Give us your fipper, old manl' you'll do
him!' and the like foated to the section
which Mr.. Porter occupied.
The astonished chief census-taker finally
concluded to step out on the platform and
convince those who were firing cOmpli-
ments at him that they had mistaken his
identity. They wouldn't listen to his ex-
PLANTATION, but yelled 'Speech!w Speech"
Finally Mrs. Harrison came to his rescue.
At sight of her, the crowd grew quiet.
When that lady, almost convulsed with
laughter. said, "Why. gentlemen, that's
not Mr.. Kilrain;. that's Mr.. Porter, of Wash
ington!" the crowd rOared.
Turning to Mrs. Harrison, the chief of
the Census Bureau remarked %jOcularly, Il
n statesman and a heavy william, but this
is the first time in my experience that /
have been greeted with a reception as a
priZe-fighter. l might add that had Stephen
Is. Elklns, for instance, been your escort,
there might have been some excuse for it."
Mrs. Harrison enjoyed the whole perform
ance hugely.

outskirts of town as that the transit be
rapid. Which of the two systems is the
better adapted to conditions here and
more desirable, is to be determined by
investigation and experiment, and in
granting leave to a motor company to
place a car on the tracks for exhibition,
the Council has taken a step in the right
direction. 1t has come to be not a ques-
ton of whether we shall have cable or

them earliest and to the greatest adj
vantage of the city.
