Heaping Goals of Fire.

SAttn
An acquaintance of the Spectator. about
two years ago. built q house IN New York.
When the walls were up, and the framing
of the roof in place, be was informed by
the man Who owned the adjoining property
that the new house was SIX inches on his
land. The Spectators friend offered 10 pay
very handsomely for the six inches which
had been quilt upon by mistake. The own
er of ii would not sell. He said that his
plans were oil made for occupying the
whole of his lot, and for no consideration
whatever could he part with six inches.
The Spectators friend could do nothingelse
than tear down his wall. This was done. and
the wall moved back twelve instead of six
inches. Then the owner OF the neighboring
property put MP his house and placed his
wall just against that of the finished house.
OF course this wall was now on the land OF
the Spectators friend. who made no re-
monstrance until his neighbor bad finished
his house. furnished it and moved In with
his family. Then he called and informed tho
obdurate man of the fact. He was speech
less with rage. The Spectators friend
then handed him n deed to the six inches,
saying. Il did this just to make you realize
how meanIy you had acted towards me. L
have no wish that you should DO put TO
any expense. / make You q present of the
six-inch strip" The Spectator is of the
opinion that If revenge Is ever ~lustifiable.
this was, in this instance.

PLOT.
Alleged Attempt to Blow Up Public Build
ings in London.

Alleged Attempt to Blow Up Public Build
ings in London.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Suns London
cable: Now il is London's turn TO be put
under the terror of dynamite fiends. A
gigantic plot is on the eve of execution,
and the utmost energies of the government
are being exerted to avert the catastrophe.
The police know that the Anarchists have
planned a frightful revenge for the extra
dition of their comrado Francois. but they
do not know Just where the blow is to fall.
The result is that Westminster. Downing
street. the law courts and other public
buildings are guarded day and night by an
army OF detectives. The explosion was ex-
ected to take place last night. Three
hundred men from Scotland Yard guarded
the Parliament Building alone. A detective
stood in front or every door. every window,
and at every corner and angle. The resi-
dences Of the detectives who arrested
Francois. the magistrates who heard his
case. and the court and jail where he was
confined were similarly protected.
The fact that nothing happened does
not prove the alarm to be baseless. The
system of spying upon the enemies of So
ciety in England and France is very conf
ple.e. The information which the agents
of Scotland Yard gained a few days ago
among the Anarchists is said TO be very
authentic. The ploiters had then an ample
supply of dynamite and nitro alyccrine.
They lacked only a reliable d~etonator or
exploding apparatus. This their fellows in
Paris agreed to supply. The strictest
watch has been maintained ever since at
Dover, Folkestone and other channel ports
10 detect the device IN transit, II possible.

The Army Bill Will Haye TO suffer for
Badly-Needed Allowances.

Tho Army Bill Will Haye TO Suffer for
Badiy-Needed Allowances.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 11.-Chairman Outh-
waite, of the House military committee, has
prepared u report for submission to the
House with the army appropriation bill
agreed upon by the committee. The report
states the reasons for the changes made by
the committee In a number of paragraphs
accompanying the bill for the current fiscal
year. Substantially the only increased ap-
preparations carried in the bill are in the
Bureau of Ordnance, and the reasons there
for are stated quite fully by quotations
from the testimony of General Flagler be-
fore the committee. 1t was shown that the
army had for years been drawing of SUD-
plies left over during the war. and these
supplies had now become exhausted, and
that increased appropriations must be
made therefor II the army Is TO be kept In q
state of efficiency.
reduction of 500. 900 was made in the
appropriation for transportation ex peRses
of the army. The report says that I'M
proved facilities for travel should enable
troops and supplies to be moved at consid-
cradle less expenses. aud that there cam
not be as great a necessity for moving
troops about as there was before some of
the remote posts were abandoned and when
Indian troubles were more frequent. The
-cuTQeOn-geuefai askeu an fncTeasou aD-
propriatIon of 230. 900 for hospital construc-
ton, the object being to build a hospital
at David's island, New York harbor. The
report says hat the committee is informed
that the hospital there is sufficient for
present purposes and therefore did not
grant the request. In the Ordnance De-
partment an increased appropriation of
$50, 900 was made for the manufacture of
metallic ammunition for small arms; S15.-
600 for ordnance stores and 10000 for
equipments. The report says hat General
Flagler stated to the committee that since
purposes have been reduced until nearly
all the appropriations now are insufficient
to furnish the army what is absolutely re-
uuIred.

HOUSE PROGRAMME FOR THE WEEK.
Anticipation and Appropriation Bills to Be
Brought Up.


Brought Up.
WASHINGTON, Dec. lit is rarely that
any legislation of practical Importance is
achieved in Congress before the next year.
with the possible exception of one of the
annual appropriation bills, and this session
is not likely to prove exceptional in this
regard. In both houses the work is pro-
crossing in u manner that indicates the lack
OF real earnestness. The prominent feat
ures of this weeks proceedings are likely
TO be the anti-option bill In the Senate
and an appropriation bill In the House.
The anticipation bill is the unfinished bust
NESS on the Senate calendar and IS ex-
pected to be laid before tho body to-mor-
row, unless an early adjournment prevent
1t. In the preceding morning hour Senator
Mitchell will discuss his JOINT resolution
proposing an amendment to the Constltu-
tion providing for the election of Senators
by the votes of the qualified electors of the
States. This joint resolution is Endorsed
by the COMMITTEES on privileges and cleo
tiOns. and Is undoubtedly strong in the
Senate, but because of it's great Importance
IL is hardly TO be assumed that IL can be
passed during the scant opportunity af-
forded by the morning hour. Once the
anti-option bill 10 laid before the Senate it
will be open To discussion again and no
positive action on the measure is expected
this week. From present indications the
unity ooAOD ~ 10 A OIL III
journment will be taken from Thursday
until the following Monday.
1t is quite probable that in the House
next week q great deal of information and
opinions based on such information will
lie given TO the country relative to
the condition of the treasury. 1t
is the expectation of the leaders
of the House that. with the exception of
Monday. when bills concerning tho Dis
trIct OF Columbia will have right of way.
practically the whole time of the House
during the week will be devoted to consid-
GRAFTON Of the regular annua appropriation
bill whichthe military committee wiilreport
on Monday, and which Chairman Outhwaite
at. present intends to call MP on Tuesday.
1t is likely hat the debate will take q
much wider range than this bill and will,
embrace the state OF the revenues. of exist
ing appropriations and. it is possible. out
line the police OF the Democratic party.
The military committee will not be sur
prised if an attack be made on some of the
ordnance items by Mr.. Holman and OF her
rigid economists. 1t has prepared for any
criticisms which may be made by adopting
in Its report the statements made by
General FlaQler showing the real and
urgent necessity for additional appropria-
tlOns, and is in for q lively fight if need be.
