Judge Alvey's Decision.

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
], as a legal resident of the District, believe
the decision rendered by Judge Alvey at
Hagerstown to be just, and think it ought to be
enforced in every instance.
1t is an outrage on the people Of this city,
mean those who belong here-that these people
are accorded privilege that secures to them
salaries, an easy life and comforts, denied the
residents of the District.
They leave their states, bringing their fam-
lies with them, they make their homes here,
many Of them own their homes here, their
children attend our schools, their sisters and
aunts. and cousins all are in Office, in seventy
five cases out of every one hundred their every
interest is right here in this city.
The majority do not care the value of brass
farthing for the states from which they hail;
with few exceptions they DO not intend again
residing there, and this fiimsy pretense, behind
which they have shielded themselves for years.
of being voters in and residents Of such and
such state ought to be abolished.
i contend that a man doing business and
having his homo in New York has as much
right to vote i'll Philadelphia. not being a
citizen Of Pennsylvania, as any Of those who do
business and have their homes here.
You say in Thursday STAK, 1T cannot be that
Senator Germans right TO vote in Maryland
turns upon the question whether he has moved
his family to his Washington house or left them
in Maryland home. And what is true of the
Senator IL true Of the humblest Office holder
residing at the capital"
This, in my opinion. is very singular view
to take on this question. Senator German is
sent here by the state Of Maryland to work for
and attend to the interests Of that state. He
is looked upon, spoken of and thought Of as
representing that state and would not be af-
fected by Judge Alvey's decision. 1t is the in
dividual who pulls up stakes" and leaves the
state for his own personal benefit the in
dividual who is Of no use to the state, who
makes his home and spends his money out OF
the state, yet claims it as his home, because
by so doing, he Is enabled to retain his sof,
position in some government department thai
pays him three times as much as he would
be worth IN some private establishment
1t is this class that the judges decision ID
aimed at and he is right every time"

GREAT ENGINEERING.
The Immense Lines Of Railway in Sibe-
ria and China Under Way.

The Immense Lines Of Railway In Sibe-
ria and China Under Way.
From the Imperial Review.
The great work on hand is the Siberia rail-
way, which will link st. Petersburg with vladi-
vostock. The Iuustrirte Zeit,tng, Leipsic, gives
a map of the entire surveyedroute. The length
will be double that of the line from New York
to San Francisco. The journey will take a fort
night. Gen. Annenkoff is the moving genius.
He laid the strategic railways toward Germany
and Austria and afterward laid the Transcas-
plan railway. The railway through Siberia has
been surveyed in forty sections and all is
ready. This gives the impulse to railways in
China.
But much greater works are authorized.
First a railway from PekIn, in the northeast, to
Hankow, in the center of China, on the Yang
tse-Kiang river, 600 miles from the mouth. The
railway, Pekin to Hankow, will be near 800
miles. railway Of almost equal length is au-
thoriZed from Pekin to ChnlDang ali along the
north. The Chinese government will itself
construct the railways. 1t repudates two rival
schemes: First. by the Rothschilds and Krupp
to advance ESQ, 000, 600; second, by Jay Gould
Il Co. to establish hanghai-American bank
in connection with railway making. railway
right across the South American continent will
shortly be finished.

Another Shot at Stanley.

Andrew Jameson, the brother Of Lieut.

Stanley's rear guard, makes q strong point
against the latter in a letter printed in London
yesterday. He says: ''Mr. Stanley is now deal
ing with dead men, who cannot answer him

Barttelot or my brother still alive Mr.. Stanley

The Maryland Registration Law.

To the Editor Of The EvEsISG STAR:
You seem to think that the Maryland regis
tration law is very unjust because it prevents
men who hold Office under the United States
government from going home to vote; also
that it will prevent parties from investing in
the suburban towns in Maryland.
can't see wherein it is any more unjust to
deny tho right Of franchise to citizens of the
states who come here and have the benefit or
Office without paying taxes here than it is to
deny 1t to citizens of the District who don't
hold Office and do pay taxes. Can you?
Nor do / see why it should affect the sub
urban towns. Citizens who reside there will
be on the same footing citizens of the Dis
trict Senator ingalls, says if We don't like it
we can go elsewhere, and OF course the Mary
land office holders here have the same privi-
lege.
Besides. If the law results in the defeat of
Mudd it will not be an unmxed evil SO far as
the District is concerned, though presume his
opponent. if elected, will do no more to relieve
Us from grade crossings than Mudd did; but, if
SO, he will not insult our citizens, as did Mudd.
In that case We will at least have the satisfac-
ton of being sacrificed by a gentleman who
won't add insult to injury" as the other did

very short it is expected to be one Of the most

the power of electricity successfully the same
means of locomotion will probably be intro

Not a Blow for Seven Rounds.

The fight between the Black Pearl OF Mime
apolis and Kelleher of Boston for a purse Of
1000 occurred last night at the Twin City
Athletic Club rooms in Minneapolis and was
awarded to the Pearl in the twentieth round.
There was very little fighting done. In the
first seven rounds not a blow was struck. In
the eighteenth there was q rush made by the
Pearl and in the breakaway Kelleher claimed
he had been fouled and seriously injured in q
sensitive part of the body. While bending over
he was hit in the stomach. Both fouls were
disallowed In the twentieth the Pearl chased
Kelleher around the ring, and hitting HIM q
light blow. Kelleher went down. He was car

without Provocation She Pushes Two
Children From a High Bridge.
Akron, n. Y, is intensely worked up over the
act Of Sarah McMullen in throwing Della Brown
and Nellie Connors from a sixty -fve-foot rail-
way bridge last Friday night There is no
abatement in the excitement there over the
terrible tragedy. The people are gathered IN
groups talking over the horrible details, and
business is almost entirely suspended. Little
Della, whose escape from an instant death is
looked upon as miraculous, is suffering in
tensely from her injuries. The chances of her
recovery are favorable unless unlocked for
changes set in, but the physician fears her
brain is injured and he does not yet know
the extent of her internal injuries, which are
serious.
Little Nellie Connors was buried yesterday
morning. St. Thomas Catholic Church was
crowded. The remains Of the poor little VIC
tim rested In plain white coffin with APP
propriate inscription on the lid. The inter-
ment was in the Catholic cemetery. Mrs. Con-

Brown, father Of Della, testified to rescuing
Sarah McMullen, the murderess from the mill

plunge In again. She denied to him that she
knew anything about the children. He recalled
the finding of the two children under the rail-
road bridge, from which they had been thrown.
He repeated the story Della told him about the
terrible struggle between Sarah and the chill
dren. He said that Della stuck to her first
story and had reiterated repeatedly what she
said at his house soon she was able to
talk. He always considered Sarah McMuIlen

and gentle.
An hours recess was then taken When the
