THE PRE-EMPTION LAW.
Was 1t Repealed by the Enabling Act
Admitting the New States.

1t is claimed by some persons that the en-
ahling act admitting the new states into the
Union repealed the presumption law. II is
also said that Congress intended only to repeal
the eighth section Of tho law, but instead re-
pealed the entire law. In the event that this
is the true situation the rights of all pre-
empters who have not made final proof are
affected. A number of inquiries have been
made at the general land Office in regard 10
this matter. Commissioner Croft, however,
has not examined the subject and therefore de-
clines to express an opinion. He will probably
be called upon to pass upon the matter off,
cially.
Merely . Technical Error.
STAR reporter asked Representative Hans
brough this morning what he thought would
come Of the muddle over the unintentionsl re-
peal Of the presumption law by the wording OF
the act admitting the new states.
81 do not know about it," he said, "but
think no serious harm can come Of it. 1t 10
merely q technical error that will either not be
taken account Of by the department or will be
corrected at once when Congress meets. do
not think there can be any delay in correcting
an error of that sort"

Interfering With a Policeman.

William Carroll, colored, got drunk Saturday
night and his wife took him toward home. Be
fore arriving there PolicemanHarrover arrested
him for disorderly conduct. Carroll had enough
bad liquor in him to make him troublesome,
and instead of going peaceably with the officer
he fell to the pavement. Another colored man
named Edward Fletcher interfered with the
arrest and attempted to prevent the officer
from taking the prisoner to the station. In
doing so he committed an assault upon the
officer. Both men were finally arrested and
they were released on collateral. Judge Miller
lectured Fletcher this morning on his conduct
in interfering with the officer, and told him
that it would not be tolerated. Inasmuch as
the officer was not injured he would only i'm
pose a fine of $50 or 60 days. Carroll was fined
IS or Is days on the farm and put under his
personal bonds to keep the peace.

deepen and straighten the channel OF this
stream and to acquire possession of strip of

sewer to the Eastern branch.
SUBURBAN SEWERS
Under the appropriation OF $50, 900 there was
constructed total length of II, O95 % feet of
sewer varying in size from Pinch pipe to a
concrete sewer 7.64 feet in diameter. For the
coming year there is recommended an appro-
priation of $50, $50, to be expended as explained
below:
Extension of sewer on Bladensbury road.
So $50; extension of sewer on line of 18th street
northeast, $4,000; extension of sewer in Eek
ington valley, $4,000; construction of sewer on
Lincoln avenue, 5000; construction of sewer
on l4th-street road, $4,000; extension of sewer
in Rock Creek valley, $4,000; extension of
Anacostia main sewer, $1,000; construction of
pipe sewers, $4,000. Total, Ss6,S5O.
The proposed sewer on the Bladensburg
road is intended to carry drainage which now
flows through the deep ravine ON the west side
northward from Boundary and 18th street
northeast will provide for drainage and sewage
which now produce a nuisance in the open
stream in the vicinity. Lincoln avenue and a
portion of II street eastward from that avenue
are to be drained by the sewer along the latter
The sewer on l4th street road is intended to
provide for the surface drainage of the greater
part of Mount Pleasant, and will divert storm
water which sometimes overcharges the sewer
on 8th street west.
The construction of the Anacostia main sewer
is required as a preliminary to the improve
meut OF Adams and Jackson streets.
1t is proposed to push the Rock creek valley
intercepting sewer as far as Massachusetts ave.
nue. extended.
Capt. Lusk recommends the appropriation O.
$4,000 for gauging the storm discharges of some
OF the more important sewers, cotemporane
lsly with observations of the rain fall over the
respective areas drained
STREET SWEEPING AND THE SEWERS
"The present method of sweeping the
streets" the report says, might be modified
with great advantage to the sewers and to the
streets themselves. As now performed the
latter are never clean except for a few hours
Immediately after they are swept. Dirt i,
most conspicuous and unsightly on the smooth
surfaces OF the asphalt pavements. Every rain
o. any intensity washes quantities of horse
! droppIngs and other filth into the sewer inlets
| greatly multiplying the work OF cleaning them
and frequently giving rise to offensive odors il
spite Of repeated cleansing and flushing.

NEWARK, o., April The conduct OF
two men excited the suspicious of Officer
Henry Lauffer last night and he took them
in charge. They were both foreigners, I'M
able to speak English. The officer, who is
a German, addressed them in that Ian
guage, and from one, who is also Ger
man, learned that their names were John
Schmidt and William Michalowski. The
latter is Bohemian and appeared as
though he was haunted by thoughts of
some terrible crime When questioned he
partially admitted that he and his COM
panion had been guilty of crime, but
seemed fearful of the consequences if he
confessed. The officer told him he would
have no peace of mind until he made
known the trouble, if a wrong had been
done. After considerable hesitancy the
man Schmidt unbosomed himself and told
the policeman he and his companion had
two months ago been hired to murder a
woman in the city of New York, and for
doing the job had received the sum of $50
She was a widow by the name of LAWN
and resided on Forty-First street, but
what number he could not give. The
murder had been accomplished, he said,
by administration of poison furnished by
the person employing them to do the
work. The name of this person was not
given.
So impressed was the officer with the
truthfulness of this story he detained the
supposed murderers here and has tele-
graphed to the authorities in New York TO
learn the facts. The men will be held here
until word has bean received

FOREIGN CLOTH MARKET.

MANCHESTER. April 4:-The Guardian,
in its commercial article, says: 1.-THE mar
ket is inanimate. Business is moderate at
firm quotations. There is no improve
ment in India staples. Orders are plenti-
full in most departments, but are mostly
much below regular prices, and are only
accepted where they are near regular
rates. Contracts are lessening. Manufac-
turers are more anxious for the renewal
of engagements. There is little i'm
portant inquiry from China and the
far east Producers want orders, though
they hold firmly to prices. The demand
from the smaller foreign markets and the
home demand suffice to sustain prices. The
strong position of cotton is doubtless a
probable cause of the strength of sellers,
but it does not affect buyers. There is lit
tie eastern inquiry for export yarns,
though there is some for the continent,
with moderate business. The weakness
of eastern exchange tends to counteract
any tendency toward the betterment of
cloth which might result from easier In
dian loan markets. Best printing cloths
are dull, common are steady, and fancy
and good firm and well sold. There is a
moderate demand for plain heavy cloths.
