Office. The offer was declined. although the
Cashiers salary is $1,000, while that OF exami-
her is -, 800.
SIGNIFICANT OMISSION.
Comment is being made among the politi-
clans on the fact that the nominations sent by
the President to the Senate yesterday did not
include the proposition to make Walter Wyman
supervising surgeon general Of the marine hos
pital service. The omission is believed to be
equivalent to stating that ex-Surgeon General
John b. Hamilton will be reappointed.
EUMon ABOUT GOV. KILL.
1t is reported that the republicans Of the
Senate are contemplating a move to exclude
Gov. Hill from the Senate on the grounds that
when he decided to retain the governorshp of

by that act abandoned his seat in the Senate
and cannot now lay claim to it.

Washington and IFS Gas Company.


To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The charter which conferred upon a corpora
ton composed mostly Of foreigners to the Dis

gas and laying the mains through our avenues
and streets contains conditions and guarantees
to the public upon the faith OF which thousands
of property holders went to the ex-
pense of providing their houses, stores churches.
halls, &c, with expensive conduits and
costly gas fixtures; among the conditions is one
which is being shamefuliy violated that is TINT
the gas should be Of good quality and of certain
Illuminating power, instead Of which iradu-
lent mixture. an adul,erated compound OF coal
gas and water-gas, in made which condsnses in
the pipes. clogs and corrodes the fixtures,
emits noisome gases that destroy the hangings,
pictures, discolor the walls and ceilings, beside
giving out insufficient light although the
gas inspector with remarkable complaisance
certtes to 18-candle power. Those who have a
gas installation and are thus compelled to use
this vile compound know from experience what
it costs to obtain adequate light. the illisive
25-cents-per-thousand-ie reduction to the
contrary notwithstanding.
Will not TIE EVENING STAR lend its share Of
the influence OF the press to expose the gas
swindfs? It ~ould require but little to initiate
. movement in the right direction to create
public opinion which even the Washington Gas-
light Company could not resist. A.P.
