STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
Citizens of East Washington Ask a Re-
adjustment of the General Schedule.

The Commissioners this afternoon gave o
hearing to a committee from the East Washing
ton Citizens association, composed of Messrs
NJ. l. Weller, chairman, DIR. J. Lee Adams
and A. F. Sperry, relative to the subject
Of the readjustment of the apportionment of
the appropriations for streets as far as it effects
the general schedule. Mr.. Weller opened the
discussion by explaining the object of
the committee, and called attention to
the letter from the secretary of the Treas
ury containing estimates of appropriations
which were submitted to Congress He also
called attention to the fact that the chairman
of the appropriation committee sent letter to
the District Commissioners asking
that the streets mentioned in their es-
Inmates should be arranged in the order
in which they intended to improve them SO far
as the appropriations made might be sufficient.
This answer of the Commissioners was in
cludsd in the report of the appropriation COM
mittee to Congress and governed its action. In
March the old board of Commissioners appor-
toned out this amount of appropriations,
but omitted, contrary to their ex-
pressed intentions, streets and portions of
streets mentioned numerically at the
head of the list, as Maryland avenue northeast
from 18th to Boundary, which was mentioned
second on the list. Messrs. Hine and Douglass fire.
quently made inquiries OF the committee. Major
Raymond said that it would be well if the COM
mittee would put their views in writing, and
the committee would then be able to reply
The committee will send the Commissioners
letter in few days.

BOSTON YACHTsMEN WE'RE SHY.
Cautious Opinions Concerning the Speed
ofLord Dunraven's New Boat.

A Boston special to the New York World says:
The victories of the new English cutter valky-
rie in the races off Gravesend naturally inter-
ested yachting men in this vicinity. The COM
ments on the results were varied, but no very
hard case of 'scare" was apparent The gene
raj opinion seemed to be that the Valkyrie is a
fast boat, but that when put to the test she will
have to undergo when she comes over here
there will be nothing to fear by the present
holders of the cup. 1t was admitted by the yacht
ing enthusiasts that the Englishman had proved
good light-weather craft on the face of Friday
mornings report but that this was no criterion
OF her all-around qualities. They prefer to
wait and see how she acts in stiff breeze be-
fore setting up as prophets.
Designer Edward Burgess, who has Just re-
turned from New York, was asked for his opin-
ion of yesterdays race: From what has SO far
appeared" said he, 'there is no doubt that
the Valkyrie is fast boat Just how speedy
she is it is impossible to determine from yester-
days race. II looks as though she was good
light-weather boat. but even that cannot be
told YETI
Gen. Paine also has good opinion of the
valkyrie, and while quite confident that an
American yacht can best her. he is not dis
posed to discount the Valkyrie's powers The
fact that the English cutters topsides '.tum-
Bile home," thus insuring her more power,
is regarded a sign that Englishmen have
learned q thing or two about yacht building
from Uncle Sam. Everybody here considers
the valkyrie much superior to the last cup
challenger.

THE HAYTIAN COMMISSION.
Gen. Lew Wallace and Beverly Tucker
to be Members.

Unless it is done to-day the appointment of
the commissioners to look after the American
interests in Hayti has not been actually
made. The matter is thus far sufficiently I'M
settled as to leave it in doubt whether two or
three commissioners will be sent. Three, how
ever, is most likely to be the number.
But though they have not actually been
appointed both General Lew Wallace and
General Beverly Tucker understand that they
are to be of the commission, and their presence
in Washington at this time is due to their being
sent for by Secretary Blaine.
OF GRAVE IMPORTANCE.
The State department regards the situation
of affairs at Hayti as of grave importance to
US, and it is not intended that the American
interests shall be neglected. The visit of the
French minister, NJ. Roustan, to Pensacola ito
see his brother" the commander of the French
warship Rolando, is regarded as having direct
relation to the Haytian affair. 1t is thought
likely that the commission will be composed of
three and that ex-Gov. Packard will be the
third member.

THE PRINTING OFFICE.
Propositions Looking to an Improve
ment In the Building.

Senators Henderson, Hawley and German,
the Senate members Of the committee on
printing, Representative Farquhar, who it is
expected will be a member if not the chairman
of the House committee on Print
ing in the new house and Mr.. Mich
ael, clerk of the committee, visited the
Government Printing Office to-day and made
a thorough inspection of the building.
The purpose of their visit was to see
what was needed to increase the facili-
ties and safety of the office.
The present building is much crowded, and it
is claimed that portions of it at least
are in great danger of destruction
by fire. and Of damage from the weight of the
material stored id the building.
The committeeman were impressed with
the necessity either of enlarging the
present structure by adding to it
and making it fireproof or of building an en-
tirely new structure in some other locality.
Their views will be formulated in a recon-
incubation to Congress.

THE FORTY-NINERS.
Their Anniversary Expedition After
Planked Shad at Marshall Hall.

1t is a good thing to eat planked shad at
Marshall Hall, but when the entertainment is
carried out under the auspices Of the California
''Forty-niners" headed by Gen. Hallet Kill
bourn and aided and abetted by such
other choice spirits and Argonautic
truthtellers as Gov. George c. Gorham and
Col. Joe Mckibben, the feast is simply gor-
geous.
Despite the weather Saturday the fortieth
anniversary of the gold-seekers expedition was
celebrated with true Argonautic vim. The

ers, or embellshers of common
place facts, Messrs. Kilbourn. Gorham, McKib-
ben, Gibson, Almy, Dick Wintersmith, William

Morrow, Boteler, ct al. beat all previous rec
ords.
Of course the Forty-niners claimed the uni
verse and all the outlying Notwithstanding
everything in the way they demonstrated the
veracity of their claims. They asserted, and
originated in the sacramento: that
Marshall Hall was named for the Marshall who
first discovered gold at Suffers Fort; that the
garden of Eden was located in Alameda county,
Cal. that Columbus sailed through the golden
gate to discover America. and so on.
against this astonishing reversal of
standard history, but what was the
use? They were outvoted every time.
The Forty Miners had everything
their own way. They rammed planked shad
and forty-niner fables and California wine
down everybody's throat without the slightest
regard to the capacity of the recipients to
gorge all this richness. But nobody
seemed to complain. The following were

KING AND EMPEROR.
What Has Been Accomplished by King
Humbert's Visit.

LONDON, May 27.-Sow that the visit of King
Humbert to Berlin has been brought to a close,
and, indeed, for some days past the CONT
mental press from st. Petersburg to Madrid have
organized themselves into guessing congress,
bent upon finding an answer to the conumdrum,
what has the visit accomplished? Naturally the
feeling is uppermost in the editorial mind that
so much fuss and feather must have some deep
significance, and that in some mysterious way
the fate OF nations must have been decided for
good or for evil at the little after
dinner chats were two crowned heads bob and
hob so closely together. That two persons
of such tremendous importance as the emperor
of Germany and the king of Italy might get
together for some such purpose as could be sup
posed to actuate ordinary, everyday, uncrowned
individuals never enters the head OF the
European editor, and since what was actually
accomplished, if anything, cannot be discov-
cred,
THE AIR is FILLED WITH sPECULATIoNs.
As matter of course the peace of Europe is
assured-two potentates never shake hands but
the peace of Europe is assured-but beyond
this the guesses are as varied as guesses must
be which have not the slightest foundation of
knowledge for a basis Probably the best
Interpretation of the incident Is that it is q
royal spree, and nothing more.
That both William and Humbert are willing
that their people should regard their meeting
be readily understood and SO long as the editor
ial brain is raeking itself for a solution based
upon this theory it is unlikely that there will
be any royal interference with the attempt
The two mighty rulers are probably laughing
even now at the determined effort of their
loyal subjects to attach the lustre of interna-
tional importance to what to them was simply
good time. Americans can laugh with them,
but to the average European mind this expla-
nation of the royal visit to Berlin is utterly in
comprehensive.
MORE FUSS THAN NECESSARY.
Close observers here, however, are beginning
to realize that there is much more fuss made
over those periodical peregrinations of
royalty than their importance war
rants. The crowned heads meet
they have their talks, the people shout them
selves hoarse in their enthusiastic welcomes.
much powder is burned, and then the monarchs
kiss one another and say good bye and things
go on much the same as before.
Notwithstanding the effort to magnify the
importance of this junketing tour into an event
big with fate for Europe, it is more than prob
able that absolutely nothing will come of it of
the slightest importance politically. The time
was when the fate of nations hung trembling
upon the results of interviews such as these,
but even in Europe that time has gone by.
