fraudinE the District Government.
WASHINGTON. Sept 13.-The Sunday Gazette
to-day gives prominence to an article charg-
ing that tho District Commissioners have dis
covered grove frauds committed By con tractors
in the work OF matchmaking tho suburban
streets. According to the report Of the en-
Rineer officer in charge OF tho paving work. the
contractors mere In many instances failed to
lay pavement twelve inches In thickness. as
required by the terms OF their contract. but
have laid them only six. seven and eight
inches thick. The District inspectors are in
volved in the charges. as they were
criminally careless in not discovering
the improper work being done. The
Engineer Commission has decided either to
tho price to make good the deficient work or
have them make the pavement the requisite
thicknes and to reprtmand tho inspectors
and refuse to assign then to further work with
the delinquent contractors whose bonds will
protect the District from loss.

SAN Francisco. Sept. 13.-The British
steamer China arrived early this morning
from Hong Kong and Yokohama. She brings
advces from China to Aug. 80. Sir John
Wolsom. the British Minister. has protested
strongly against the dlatory manner In which
the Chinese Government dealt with the recent
riots and has put three questions TO the Gov
ernment asking. first. why an edct on the
subject ofthe riots was not despatched through
the empire by telegraph. Second. why the
Wuhu magistrate who tried to stop the riots
wae DEGRADED. while his superiors. who did
nothing, were not punished. and third, why
the punishment OF the guilty at Yusuch was
delayed.
The Chinese Government sent the questions
to his Excellency Ii Hung Chang to be
answered. Chang replied first. it lie not the
custom Of China 10 send edicts by wire; Sec
ond. the magistrate was degraded for other
reasons. and. third. the rioters had been pun
