act of March /, 1890, has been completed
and the result will be at once officially
communicated to congress.
The completion of this decennial
enumeration devolves upon congress the
duty of making new apportionment Of
representatives among the several states,
according to their respective numbers.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
At the last session l had occasion to re-
turn with my objections several bills
making provisions for the erection of
public buildings, for the reason that the
expenditures contemplated, were in my
opinion greatly in excess of any public
need. No class of legislation is more IL
able to abuse or to degenerate into an un-
seemly scramble about the public treas
ury than this.
There should be exercised in this mat
ter a wise economy, based upon some re-
sponsible and impartial examination and
report to each case under a general law.

The Civil Service.

The law relating to the civil service,
so far as l can learn, has been executed
by those having the power of appoint
ment in the classified service with fidelity
and impartiality and the service has been
increasingly satisfactory. The report of
the commissioners show large amount
of good work done during the year with
very limited appropriations.

- GREATER IMPORTS.

The imports at the port of New York
for the first three weeks of November
were nearly 8 per cent greater than for
the same period in 1889 and two per cent
greater than in the same period of 1888.
r. effect is so far from being to limit ex-
ports that l confidently believe that I'M
der it, we shall secure larger and more
profitable participation in foreign trade
than we have ever enjoyed, and that we
shall receive a proportionate participa-
ton in the ocean carrying trade of the
world.

William w. Martin, Sergeant, Co. K, 65th
H. Middleton, Ga, writes that two neighbors
of his. Rev. II. NJ. Hooper, of the Christian
Church, and Thomas knight, both of whom
belonged to Georgia battery of artillery, say
that they were captured at Cumberland Gap in
September, 1868. and taken to Camp Douglas
For the first six months or so they were well
treated and we'll fed, but after that tho ratjons
were cut down until many persisted from hun
ger, others killed cats dogs, and so on to get
food, and this continued until they were re-
leased in the Summer of 1865. They claim that
this was in retaliation for the treatment of our
prisoners in Andersonville. These authorities
are both men of repute in their neighborhood,
but Comrade Martin does not believe that our
Government ever consented To any such a mol
icy as that. and he wants to know if any per-
son can tell the truth as to the treatment OF
prisoners at Camp Douglas.

for payment, he goes to the postofIce, carelessly

A University Cluh.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR;
At the banquet of the Princeton alumni asso-
citation Friday night was especially struck with
the remarks of President Voorhees,, in which
he regretted that there was no University Club
in this city. l have heard the same idea ex-
pressed so often by college graduates here that
l was pleased when it was brought so fairly
before the attention OF one of the alumni assoc
Citations. This is the time of year when the
graduates of the various colleges are holding
their annual reunions and the amount of en-
thuslasm aroused would surprise an outsider, [
am sure. Yet those are only annual affairs at
best, and for the rest of the year interest in
college matters necessarily fags-starved, one
might almost say, for it has little to feed on
but memory. In New York and PHILADELPHIA
and in fact in almost all of the large cities
there are clubs to which all college graduates
are eligible. They are among the most sue
cessiul OF all clubs, for the members have
much in common, and college graduates are. as
n rule, a companionable set of men, There
must be at least 500 graduates living in this
city and there may be nearer 1000, II some
one would only take the initiative and call a
meeting to discuss the formation of such a
club l think it would 60 through with a
rush. If one might judge from the inter
est MIR. Noorheesremarks aroused Friday night
Clubs OF this sort make a pleasant place of re-
union for college men, and graduates visiting
here for few days would have some place
where they might see their classmates and
renew old friendships. We're such an organ
lZaton formed 1t seems as though there could
be no doubt of its success If the secretaries
OF the various aimuni associations should feel
enough interest in the matter to get together
aud call meeting of the graduates in this
town they would soon find, think, that such a
plan could be carried into effect with great sue

The Drum Point Raiiroad.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
wish to call the attention of Congress
through your valuable paper to the great
damage to our beautiful city if the Drum Point
railroad is permitted to extend it's road into
the city west of 18th street northeast There
has been no end to railroad interference in our
city for some years past. They will not be
subject to even Congress. and therefore great
care should be exercised in granting to them
privileges likely to be regretted in a very short
period of time. l would say right here that
belong to the progressive people, but at the
same time like to see the transportation lines
placed where they will not destroy more than
they can build up. have seen the pegs driven
for this line of road east of 18th street and know
whereof L speak. The line crosses Bennings
road just at the west end of tho bridge and
runs directly to tho junction of Tennessee
avenue. f and 18th streets, which is the eastern
boundary OF the city. This should be its
terminus. better would be Graceland ceme-
terry (Which should be condemned as burial
place at all events). and then there would be
no objection to the use of all the land between
Bennings road and Bladensburg east of Bladens-
burg road for railroad purposes. BIN.

A Good Suggestion.

10 the Editor OF IHE EVENING STAR:
In your edition Of Thursday last saw sug-
gestion from some one that the iremen be fur
nished with india rubber sacks, so that in case
of fire. where exit from the house is cut off by
the flames. lives might be saved by jumping
from the windows upon these sacks, inflated
with air and held up by the firemen.
To show that the suggestion is a good one I
would like to call your attention to an incident
that occurred in Philadelphia a short time ago.
lady now living on the east side of Farragut
square. not stones throw from the Tracy
house, and in full view of it, was living in an
English basement house, one of a row situated
at 10th and Spruce streets, Philadelphia She
was aroused one morning by the cry of fire ~
She soon found it was her own house that was
burning and that exit by means of the stairs
was cut off 80, rushing to the windows she soon
made the situation known to the crowd in the
street, when some sensible man procured a
mattress from neighboring house and mum
Der of men held it firmly up and advised the
family to jump. The iady's husband gazed
down for moment and then turned away, tell
Ing his wife 1t was certain death to do SO. The
wife urged him, but he refused Then taking
up her young child. she dropped it from the
third-story window upon the mattress and it
was taken up unframed. Then bidding her
husband hasty farewell she also dropped from
the window and landed safely upon the mat
tress. The husband refused to lump and
persisted in the flames
fact like this is strong argument in favor
OF the suggestion made by your correspondent.

THE BOWEN-JOHNSON FIGHT.
Declared . Draw In Order TO Catch q
Train.

At Abita Springs, 81 miles from New Orleans.
Andy Bowen, champion local light-weight. and
Chas johnson Of Minneapolis fought yester-
day for sl0O and the profits Of the excursion
In order to have the sun overhead the men did
not enter the ring until l:i5 o'clock. The ring
was pitched in an old bull pen, with plank seats
arranged around in amphitheater style. Every
native in town was present. and these with the
excursionists made total of six hundred, who
paid - each to witness the mill At Ills O'Clock
johnson made his appearance, accompanied by
his seconds, Tom Casey, a local pugilist, and
Tommy Ward. her-weight Bowen entered
shortly afserward, attended by Jas Sweeney,
who seconded yacquelin in last Sundays fight
with hilrain, and the English Kid johnson
gave In his weight at lS7 and Bowen at 1884,
johnson is mach taller, but not SO broad and
muscular as Bowen. 1t took about ten minutes
to decide upon an umpire, who was finally Sc
lected in the person of Geo. Green. local
wrestler. Time was called at As and forty
three rounds of vicious fighting followed dur-
ing which several knockdowns occurred and q
good deal of blood was spilled, both men being
pretty badly punished. At the conclusion Of
the forty-third round the referee, at the sug-
gestion of the parish sheriff and Bowen
hacker. decided the fight a draw, saying that
the crowd had to catch the five-oclock train or
wait until tomorrow morning, il being then
445 o'clock, the fight having lasted two hours
and ffty-seven minutes. On the whole Bowen
received the worst punishment. being cut Sc
yerely in the mouth and eye. He has been suf-
fering from an attack OF grip and his friends
say should not have attempted to fight.

A New Paris Pursuit.

A new celebrity is making his appearance
along the boulevards of Paris. He is a we'll

saunters along the terraces Of the principal
cafes scanning the faces of the consommateurs
until he catches sight of one that strikes his
