Treasury has awarded the contract for the con-
struction and completion of the public building
at Los Angeles, Cal, to Collins d Hargitt, of
Los Angeles, for S101, 900.
THOUGHT THE FEES Too LARGE.-On the 5th
of the present month the President trans
United to Congress an agreement with the
Creek Indians in the Indian territory by which
they coded to the United States 1868 754
acres of land held by them under treaty. The
compensation fixed upon was 81. $50, s57. Since
the transmission of this agreement it has come
to the knowledge of the Secretary of the
Interior that an attorney of this city has a con-
tract with the Creeks by which he was to re-
ceive for services rendered in negotiating this
sale 10 per cent Of whatever purchase price
was agreed upon, which in this case would
amount to over S22s,OOO. The Secretary,
believing that this fee was largely in excess of
the value of the services rendered. refused to
approve the contracts, and has obtained from
the attorney REIMBURSEMENT of his claim
under them. The attorney will now look to
the Creeks for such compensation as they may
voluntarily allow him.

health of the cities of Washington and George
town This cost could wisely be incurred in
buying the land now, avoiding thil danger and
at the same time securing a pleasure ground
for all and preserving great work of nature.
Beyond all these arguments of convenience
we ought to preserve this beautiful country be-
fore it is irrecoverably lost by the obstruction
OF the timber. The next generation may be
be lost. On this subject Senator b. Grady
Brown has happily expressed himself, as fol-
lows:
sENANoR BROWNS ARGUMENTS.
"I suppose all members of the Senate are
familiar enough with the environs of the city
to know the beautiful and romantic valleys of
Rock creek. The character of the
ground around and adjacent to that
stream is exactly suited to the purposes
we desire. 1t has running water; it has rugged
hills; 1t has picturesque scenery; it has album
dance OF varied forest TIMBER it has a native
underground blushing with beauty; it has the
tangled vine and the clustering wild flower,
ana the quiet moses gray with age, and in
| deed thousand imprints of native adornment
| that no hand OF art could ever equal
| in its most initiative mood. More
over, with SO much of attractiveness in
| its present uncultured state, it has like
wise every capacity for adornmen and devel-
| opment, and can be made with less expense
than almost any spot of equal area have ever
| seen within the reach OF great city one of the
| most beautiful resorts in the world. There is
no expenditure than can be made which
shall add to the grandeur or adornment
Of the public buildings that fill SO largely
the eye of admiration of the world, or
OF the vast libraries that are accommodating SO
rapidly the treasures of all languages within
your reach, or Of the Conservatives and gar
dens and cabinets that minister to your tastes,
that will not freely be sanctioned by the people;
Tor such Ia itself is the establishment Of a ma
tons university, whicher all may come TO
wonder and to learn, and in which all
may feel rightful patriotic pride.
Only let it be worthy. Let your doing be on
scale commensurate with the pride to which
You minister and the people you are sent
hither to represent. And it is in the same
| spirit that would have you, senators, inaugu-
rate public park that shall have no rival any
where for beauty or extent or ornamentation,

senate reureoS.
WHAT THE REPUBLICANS SAY.
The republicans assert that the denomination
Of Commissioner Webb is part of the plan of
democratic syndicate or combine" headed
by Marshal Wilson, and which is designed,
through this precedent to secure the reap
pointment of Commissioner Wheatley also,
and thereby the retention of the District gov
eminent in democratic hands throughout Pres
ident Harrison's term, in compact organization
for the next presidential contest To this
adroit little plan the republicans decidedly OBJ
ject. They say If the democrats are willing to
accept Mr.. Webb as their representative in the
board Of Commissioners and allow President
Harrison to appoint the republican representa-
tive, all right; but they don't propose to have
Marshal Wilson or President Cleveland dictate
who shall be the republican Commissioner, and
if Mr.. Webb is confirmed they will insist that
the Commissioner appointed to succeed Com
missioner Wheatley shall be a republican. II
is understood that the republican Senators are
sufficiently impressed by the representation
of the District republicans to make Mr.. Webb's
chances of confirmation rather remote.
THE DEMOCRATS DISPOSED TO RECONSIDER.
In view Of the probability that the republi
cans would be disposed to treat the confrma
ton of Mr.. Webb, after his action favorable te
the democrats and his grateful denomination
by Mr. Cleveland, as the confirmation of tbt
democratic member Of the board of Commits
sioners, and would secure the appointment O.
a straightout republican to succeed Mr.. Wheat
ley, and to give color to Mr.. Webb and the ad
ministration of the Commissioners, the demo
Gratis are beginning to question whether it il
polite to urge the confirmation of Mr.. Webb
They reason that the effect might be to cut GU
the democracy of the District from the desired
representation on the board, and while the,
view Mr.. Webb as good enough democrat i
his controlling colleague 10 a strong willed, un
mistakable democrat, they do not look with
much complacency upon the prospect of being
represented themselves by Mr.. Webb if hi
controlling colleague is to be q republican.

 Johnson, for assault and battery. The trial began in the morning and continued until after o'clock that night. Both sides wero ably repre- sented. The State was represented by Messrs. Davidson and Walker and the defandent by Messrs. Will son. Goar and Garter. Miss Maud Crawford was the prosecuting wit ness. A large number of witnesses were examined and the evidence showed that Prof. Johnson, who is principal of the public school at Fayetteville had assaulted Maud Crawford, h student of the school pulling her by the hair and ear and otherwise abusing her. The case was tried before a jury of six, con ssting of the following gentlemen: A. NJ. Lewls, A. w. Baker, Stephen Claypool, L. B. Reed, G. Dodson and John Props. After being out a short time the jury returned a verdict, finding the defendant guilty ana assessing his fine at $50.

Every since there has been fruit shows Tn N. W.

They came here from Fayettev file. where they spent over two months ip their lIno of business. They bear many high testimonials, touching the merits of thelr work. from the best citizens of that place. Mr. Outlaw tells us they renovated over 800 beds and over 1900 pillows while there. We call especial attention to the system they use. It is the "Hubbard' s Cold Air System" This system is entirely innocent to the vitality oi the feathers. AiteI. the feathers are clcansed they are dried out by cur rent of cold air, continual y passing through them. No heat at all is used in drying, thereby preserving the tenaclty of the feathers.
