United States treasury, Col. Nebeker, has
been able TO devise an effective method to
meet the danger.
The fact that this hitherto unsupported
avenue Of assault upon the millions in the
treasury exists is still guarded as dread
secret. Such employees of the department
as have of necessity learned Of the approach
by the sewer are under the most rigid in
structions to keep their knowledge to them
selves. 1t was only through accident that
this ready though noisome road to wealth
became known, and this publication of its
existence is certain TO cause prompt meas
ures 10 be taken to thwart any such raid
imaginary, but just now quite possible, as
has been suggested above.
The treasury watch is an interesting and
important element OF the life that daily
surges in and ont of the great building which
is really the financial center of the nation.
The watch is commanded by Capt. Co
baugh aud two lieutenants Under them
are seventy men, all veteran soldiers, who
are cut into three squads, divided every
twenty-four hours into equal portions. The
casual visitor to the treasury will sec no
evidence of the existence of this guard. The
men wear no uniforms and in the daytime
they carry no arms At night every man
on duty is armed with long, six>chambered
revolver. of such length and caliber that 1t
cannot be concealed, but must be carried in
the hand.
Every one who passes the treasury late at
night may see pacing to and fro in the lofty
area between the granite pillars and the
wall of the building, solitary figure. No
one can come within hundred feet OF the
building without meeting the view Of the
guard.
There is such a Waterman, silent and
martial in bearing, on each of the four ex-
ternal sides OF the treasury. Within, there
are many more traversing every corridor,
and at stated intervals pressing electric
buttons to show that they were on guard
at designated stations at prescribed mo-
ments, All this system Of interior watch
fulness is quite new, and it all arose from

A meeting Of the National League YVES held
in Dublin yesterday. with Mr. John E. Rcd.
mond in the chair. The members present con-
graduated themselves and Mr.. Redmond upon
his election to represent Waterford City in par
lament. Mr.. Redmond, in opening the meet
ing, dsclaroh that tho victory in Waterford wns
the beginning Of q revival OF the trust formerly
placed in the Parnellitcs. Tho prospects of
that section Of the Irish parliamentary party,
he said, were now especially bright.
William A. Mcdonald. member OF the ho,,se
Of commons for the Ossory division of Queens
county, denied a statement that has beef nado
that the Parnellite majority in Waterford was
due to the tory vote. He maintained that the
Parnellite victory was not duo in any degree
to that vote. Mr.. Davitt's defeat, he said,
arose from the resentment the voters en-.
tcrtained on account Of bia dssertlon of the old
party principles.
Mr.. Kelly, deputy from Manchester, asked
whether MIR. Davitt would now stand up in
New York and repeat the declaration recently
made by him that he was willing 10 accent
Whatever the liberals were inclined to give
Ireland. Mr.. Parnell's mantle, he said, could
not have fallen upon worthier shoulders than
those Of Mr.. Redmond. This statement MAS

WIDENING 10TH STREET EXTENDED.

Made by the Jury.
The Commissioners today finally approved
the awards made by the jury that condemned
land for the purpose OF widening 10th street
BY the last District appropriation act $1,000
was appropriated for grading 10th street ex-
tended from Florida avenue to the north side
Of Morris street, certain conditions. how
ever, having TO be complied with before the
proposed improvements could be made. The
first Of these conditions was that the property
owners along the line should sign an agree
ment binding themselves and their heirs as
signs never to allow any building or obstruc-
tions outside of the building lines OF 10th street
as they would be if extended beyond Florida
avenue.
Another condition precedent TO the proposed
improvements was that owners of abg:ling
property should donate all but Sl.0o0 OF the
cost. The Commissioners were authorized 10
buy by condemnation the strip OF land on the
east side OF Meridian avenue and west Of 10th
street necessary 10 widen the part of Meridian
avenue extending from Florida avenue TO the
top OF the hill where the standpipe stands.
The money to be paid Cor the land is 20 come
out OF the appropriation OF $4,000. heawards
OF the jury for this land amounted to SI3.Jol.
OF which sll,oUp goes 10 Vim. IL. Burr and
$500 to DIR. Z. I. Sewers.
This was the award approved today. The
property owners have signed the agreement
Eot TO allow obstructiops. Some also have
agreed to give enough of their Land to make
the roadway scventy-.our feet wide
The agreement regarding distractions is
understood not 70 apply To bay WINDOWS and
similar projections, which can be erected as il,
the city, under the building regulations. As
the donations provided for have not been
made, the $500 remaining of the appro-
priatoa w!ll not be expended on grading the
street, but will be turned back into
the treasury. This amount, Commissioner
Eossell says, would not be sufficient to paw Tor
the work contemplated. About $1,000 Is
needed to carry out the projected improve
