THE WHARF PRIVILEGES.
Attorney Hazelton SAYS the Commits
sioners Have Right to Lease Them.

Some time ago the Commissioners submitted
to Attorney Hazelton the question of leasing
the wharf privileges, with an inquiry as to the
number OF years the Commissioners could lease
them and what was their general power on the
river front The attorney in his reply
says: The Supreme Court of the United
States in the case OF the Potomac
steam boat company and others agt
Upper Potomac steam boat company &C.,
reported in 100 q. s., p. 672, has decided that
the title to all the land on which Water street
was laid out and built, and the land lying be-
tween that street and the Potomac river, COM
monty known as the water front, is vested in
the United States, and that no private rights OF
wharfage and no riparian rights attach to the
ownership of lots fronting on the north side of
said street."
The attorney says that the power and au-
thority conferred by the act OF Congress of May
10, 1920 g Stat, p. $50, upon the corporation
OF Washington, Ito erect repair and regulate
public wharves and to regulate the manner of
erecting and the rates of wharfage at private
wharves" is still IN force and now vested in the
Commissioners Of the District of Columbia
He cites Justice Coxs opinion in the case of
the District of Columbia agt. johnson.
MIR. Hazelton concluded: "As there is no
statute in this District limiting the term of a
lease or license in this class of cases to any
particular period of time arm Of the opinion
that it is wholly within the discretion of the
Commissioners to fix the term of any prop osed
lease or license for wharfage"

SPECIAL IMPROVEMENT CLAIMS.
A Memorial to Present to Congress
Asking for Legislation.

Senator ingalls, this afternoon presented ~
the Senate a memorial Of DIR. Louis Mackall
and others relative to still unsettled claims
which came within the Jurisdiction OF the
board Of public works. The petitioners say
their claims for such damages. notwthstand-
ing their just and equitable character, have
never been allowed or considered by any
tribunal whatsoever. After reviewing the
legislation in the case and the awards made by
the board of audit the memorial says:
"The validity of these awards has been fully
and repeatedly recognized both by the courts
and Congress. And your petitioners aver that
said board of audit was not abolished because
of its allowance of these just and mertorious
claims, but for other and wholly different rea.
sons. as will appear from an examina-
ton off the joint resolution abolishing
said board of audit, approved March IA, 1876
and the discussion attending the passage
thereof The claims of your petitioners only
accrued to them after the time fixed by the
acts Of Congress aforesaid for the presentation
of such claims had expired, and re-
suited from the continuance of the work
of Improvements and repairs conducted
by the officers of the United States, to
wit, the Commissioners of the District of Co
lumbia, after the adjustment of said board of
public works. Your petitioners are wholly I'M
able to comprehend why they should be de-
barred from obtaining the relief so Justly
afforded by Congress to their fellow citizens,
whose claims were no greater or more merl-
tOrious than those of your petitioners"
In closing the memorialists remark: ''In
view of the foregoing facts evidenced by
official records accessible to the present board
of Commissioners of the District of Columbia,
your memorialists express their great surprise
and regret at the misleading statement made
by such board of Commissioners in
q recent communication to the COM
mittee on the District of Columbia of
the Senate that the courts have ample power
to redress those who claim to have been dam
aged by public improvements and repairs in
the District Whereupon they pray that this
their petition may be received and duly con-
sidered, and that they may be afforded such
relief as, the premises considered, may be
equitable and fair"

A RAZOR AND REVENGE.
A Man Who Had Weapon Ready Fog
One Who Had Wronged Him. 4

John Roots, tall colored man who earns his
living by carrying hod, lives on Grant ave-
nue. in the county. There was q scene near his
house last night and Policemen Helan and
McCort arrested Roots. He had razor in his
possession. TWAS believed by the officers that
Roots wanted to kill another man, whom he
charged with undue intimacy with his (RootSD
wife. Roots, who was charged in the Police
Court with carrying a concealed weapon, told
OF the suspicious he had concerning his wife
and the other man.
Mr.. Darlington, in speaking OF the case, said
that under the circumstances he thought Roots
should not be blamed for what he did
1T would be dangerous thing for the court
TO say that people under such circumstances
could Kali Others" said Judge Miller.
But that would he better than taking his
notes Tor $500, added Mr.. Darlington.
The case Was continued to hear further evil
dence.

OPPOSED 10 THE SUGAR CUT.
Representative Harmer Thinks it Would
be Disastrous to Growing Industry.

Representative Hammer Of PENNSYLVANIA
(rep.) said today that he considered the Nc
Kinley tariff bill an excellent measure, better
than that Of the Senate last year, except a. to
the cut on sugar.
He said that the sugar industry was growing
rapidly in this country now and should not be
disturbed They could stand reduction Of rs
per cent, perhaps, but cut as proposed in this
bill would drive them out OF business.
Propositions are now being considered. he
and establish them in Florida, and there is q
widespread interest growing in the business
A cutof GO per cent would put an end to all
this, he says.

THEY SAY THE CLAIM Is BOGUS
"A Suit for an Immense Sum Entered
Against an Express Company.

Dispatches from Fredericksburg, Va, state
that sensation has been caused there by the
ming OF papers BY q man giving his name as
Dr. Harrison Wagner against the Adams ex-
press company for 81, 564, s75.s2 The man ap-
pesred at Fredericksburg February Is and
stated to Mr.. Bryan that he desired to institute
suit against the Adams express company for
the amount named above.
Clerk Bryan informed the intending litigant
that the writ tax alone would be nearly O., 500
This seemed to take him aback. but upon
learning from Mr.. Bryan that if he indorsed on
his papers that he expected to receive a less
amount the tax would be reduced proportion
ately he wrote on the papers that he expected
to recover only $1,000. Then upon paying all
costs he filed his declaration claiming 1884,
oI5.S2 with interest al 6 per cent on a note pur-
porting to have been made by William b. bins
more as president OF the Adams express COM
pany, April l, 1886, sent to him in settlement
This note was alleged to have been given in
settlement Of suit instituted by the
plaintiff against the company in Mecklenburg
county, North Carolina, in 1885, DIR. Wagner
got the clerk to issue process upon Mr.. Garrett,
the agent OF the company at Brooks Station,
and then had it mailed to VIM b. Dinsmore,
president Of the company at New York. Mr.
Dinsmore died two years ago. DR.. Wagner
produced an envelope already addressed to
Mr.. Dinsmore, with the following inscription
on the end: IF not delivered in three days re-
turn to Harrison Wagner, Washington, D. c., to
be held till called for at general delivery"
Clerk Bryan said that Wagner told him that
II he got his judgment he would give HIM
$4,000. He left money with Mr.. Bryan to pay
lawyer to take charge Of the case.
Officials of the Adams express company WHO
were in Fredericksburg yesterday said the sig
nature OF VIM. b. Dinsmore in the alleged note
was a forgery, and that the claim was bogus
Steps were taken, it is said, to secure the APP
Prehension of Wagnerswho was said to be in
this city. At the Adams express Office in this
city a STAR reporter was informed that nothing
was known here either of Wagner or his claim.
The police here knew nothing today of the re-
port that Wagner was to be arrested here.
AN INQUIRY AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS
Mr.. Geo. W. Moss, agent of Adams express
company in this city, visited police head
quarters this afternoon and had an interview
concerning DR.. Harrison Wagner
Inspector Swindell said that Mr.. Moss wanted
to know if the officers knew anything concern
ing the doctor.
Mr.. Moss told STAR reporter that he did not
request the doctors arrest, nor did he intend
to swear out q warrant for his arrest.

The Leading Paper.

From the Winchester Leader.
TIE EVENING STAR is o remarkable news
paper in many respects and one Of our most
interesting exchanges. The paper, which
sometimes contains sixteen large pages, has
three times the circulation Of any other paper
in Washington and the largest regular home
circulation of any two-cent afternoon paper in
the United States Its average daily circuls-
ton during 1889 was $1,000, and during the
same year it published ss,522 different adver.
tisements. The Office ID equipped with three
presses, each with . capacity of 1900 four
page papers an hour. Thus it will be seen that
this STA. wrinkles with SURPRISING brilliaucv
and there is every indication its brightness vim
remain undimmed for years, and that IL viii
continue to be the leading local paper at the
