Capt. Rossell, who has charge Of street pave

attention to an important matter affecting
street pavements, which he desired TO be
brought before the Commissioners. He said
that 1t ts believed that in the asphalt pave

cities different method Of manufacture IL

Washington, and that il 10 desirable that he
should have all the data that can be obtained

quests the Commissioners to call upon the
State Department to solicit the United States
consuls in these cities in which the pavements
are laid to furnish for the use of the
engineer department Of the District a. full an
account as possible of the method Of manufac-
ture and laying and the specifications used by
the cities, and also samples taken from the
streets. This might enable the District 10 make
many improvements in its pavements He saws
the matter was first called to his attention
by an examination of a piece of wearing
asphalt surface from Berlin left with him.
The examination showed that in the manufac-
ture different materials had been used from
that now used by the District and from state
ments made as to the lasting qualities of these
pavements in Berlin and certain facts known
to the District authorities il seemed to indicate
that q change in the ingredients and propor-
tons might be made in this city to advantage.

Measures Brought Up in Committee Which
Are Of Local Interest.
The House District committee has received
from residents Of X and 18th streets a vigorous
protest against the use of those streets by any
steam railroad. The protest suggests that if a
steas road be built it cross Rock creek at 2Sth

NICARAGUA CANAL.
Report Of the Senate Committee on Guaran
teeing the Company's Bonds.

Report OF the Senate Committee on Guaran-
teeing the Company's Bonds.
The report of the committee on foreign re-
lations on the Nicaragua canal bill. presented
by Mr.. Sherman this morning. recites the i'm
portance Of the canal project, treats in detail
OF the history Of past negotiations on the sub
ject, and maintains that the proceeding of
Great Britain at Belize, on the Mosquito coast,
discharged the United States from its engage
ment with Great Britain in 1850 to refrain from
exercising control of any part of entralAmerica.
The report says that the work of the private
corporation on the canal has advanced with
great rapidity; that the total cost OF the project
will be but one-third more that the Welland
canal; that il will be completed within six
years. The full cost of the work is set
down at 800, 900. 600. The committee feels
that to secure this amount of money
the company will be obliged to sell
bonds at large discount. Consequently
II Will be necessary to impose heavy tolls on
shipping, and as the canal would really consti-
tute part CT the coast line of the United
States. this burden would be largely borne by
the American people. Therefore, the commit
tee believes that il would be the part of
economy, aside from the consideration Of
national policy, for the United States
to guarantee the bonds Of the company
to the amount of one hundred million
dollars, so that they may be sold at par with
the result of reducing. first. the actual expendi-
lures OF the company. and, second, the tolls.
which would otherwise amount to twelve and
one half million dollars annually. In its present
form the bill meets the objections raised by
President Cleveland TO the treaty negotiated in
1884, as it does not commit the United States
to the defense OF the territorial integrity Of the
Central American states.

Some Of the Expressions in the Petition
Presented by Senator Edmunds.
The memorial presented to the Senate yes
terday by Mr.. Edmunds, in favor of the bill
providing against the sale of tobacco to minors
in the District, was a formidable document
1t contained the views of a large number of
persons prominent in various branches. HAre
are..some few of the opinions.
d. Webster Prentiss, D., president District
Of Columbia Medical Society, says: 1.-The to-
bacco habit retards the growth and develop
ment Of the young by its influence on the heart
and nervous system. Cigarettes are almost al
ways contaminated Qortifed) by the addition
of some form of opium, and thus the
the tobacco habit. The excessive
stimulants and intemperance frequently re-
suits. The paper in which cigarettes are
wrapped often contains arsenic. A habit of
this sort in the young engrosses the thoughts
and turns away their attention from proper
channels, and in conclusion cannot express
too strongly from medical point of view NV
opinion of the very deleterious effects of the
use of tobacco. especially by cigarette smoking
by young persons"
DR.. Joseph Taber johnson saws: sDr. Prem
tiss has expressed my views exactly and I hope
the bill may become a law and be enforced"
Bishop John j. keane writes: 'Since the
public seem convinced that the use of tobacco
by minors is a pernicious evil and that the
practice can be reached and stopped only by
the aid of legislation 1 unite with the large
number Of physicians and others competent to
judge in the matter in petitioning for the pas
sage of the bill to that effect now before Con-
gress."

the upper grades, from science, poetry and

THE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY.
''In 1882 portion Of the 'Seaton fund was
devoted to the establishment of library in the
High School. The number of books purchased
by this sum was subsequently increased by the
efforts OF trustees, who secured for our use the
stock of the old Washington City Library.
Money has been raised in past years from the
receipts of school concerts and exhibitions and
by voluntary contributions from parents and
pupils. In this way the library has been devel-
oped, not as a popular circulating library but
as a working adjunct to the departments OF
the school, In the purchase of books the aim
has been to procure standard reference books
in history, biography, science, travel and
general literature that the student may sup
plement his studies by original research.
1T is to be regretted that lack of money
hinders the expansion of the library. Concerts
are believed to interfere with the regular
studies, solicitation of funds is discouraged
and the school is practically without resources
to add new works imperatively needed or to
replace volumes destroyed by the wear and
tear OF circulation.
AT the present time the High School is in
possession of about six thousand volumes,
which are in constant use every hour of the
day as aids to every department Of instruction.
Among these books few hundred are from
standard fiction. That these are appreciated
and eagerly sought is shown by the fact that
during the last school year over twenty thou
sand volumes were dawn for home perusal.
