tesque 1t is likewise shocking to all the
sentiments bred in us by lifelong study
of the Declaration of Independence and
other documentary expressions of funda-
mental American ideas on the subject of

But the opera bouffe suggestion is magni-
hed In its grotesqueness when the proposal
Is that our government shall engage in this
sort of work in behalf of such a queen as
Liliuokalani.
This woman undertook to set aside the
somewhat enlightened constitution framed
under American influence for the restraint
OF her ignorance and barbarism. Out of
this attempt at reaction grew the revolu-
ton which created a provisional govern
ment. That government is composed of
the best men in Hawaii mostly Americans
The manner of its institution is open TO

Closing Alleys.
Several days ago the attorney for the
District was asked to give an opinion upon
an important matter affecting the closing
of an alley. 1t seems that lot 1913, in square
674, shows an alley 10 by 10 feet, which is
no longer necessary. In fact, there is a
house built upon the alley. and a gentleman
who wishes to purchase the lot desired to
know If the alley could be officially closed
in any other manner than under the act OF
Congress which requires the signatures OF
all the property holders in the square.
After carefully considering the case. Mr.
Thomas holds that there is no way in which
the alley can be closed except in the manner
provided for under the act above referred
to-that is. to get the signatures of all the
property owners in the square to a petition
asking for its obliteration.

of Congress. approved March 2 1885, in
which 1t was provided that all street rail-
roads in the District of Columbia must
substitute fiat grooved rails for the ordinary
fiat and T-shaped rails, which had given so
much dissatisfaction. According to the pro-
visions of the act, the Commissioners were
authorized TO notify the several railroad
companies, and If, within ninety days after,
or within twelve months after the expira-
ton OF the ninety days. the railroad COM
pany FAILED to comply with the provisions
or the act the Commissioners were directed
to do the work and issue bonds of indebted
ness against the railroad, bearing an inter-
est or 10 per cent per annum, the same to

On August Is, 1892 the Commissioners
notlned the presidents of the Metropolitan
and Columbia Railroad Companies that
having failed to complete the laying of their
respective road beds with fiat grooved rails
as required by the act of Congress, they
were notified to begin work within ninety
days and finish the work within twelve
months.
According to Inspector Hickey's report
10 the Commissioners, both roads have
failed to comply with the order, and he
names number of places along the line
OF the road where the new approved rail
has not been substituted.
Capt Ffebeger forwards all communi-
cations upon this subject today, and recon-
mends that they be sent to the attorney for
the District for opinion as to what action

were entirely bare. There seemed to be no
possible excuse for 1t.

Yesterday was really day of thanks
giving al the District reform school. Col. and
Mrs. Shallenberger planned that it should be
so. and it was. The work shops were closed
and every boy was given full liberty to
enjoy himself. Good meals are not scarce
at the institution, but yesterdays meals
were above the average, dinner, of course,
being the central feature. Roast turkey,
with an ample supply of edibles that are
generally served with it, was disposed of
by very happy multitude. During the
afternoon there were all sorts of outdoor
games, and with darkness came supper in
which apples, oranges cake and pie figured
conspicuously 1t was a great day, and the
only complaint the boys made was that
1t was too short by several hours.

Something dropped in the pension bureau

of the records of certain employees of the
bureau. 1t was whispered that those whose
records did not make a satisfactory showing
were to be dismissed or reduced

A STABLE OPINION.
The Attorney Tells to What a Regu-
latiOn Applies.

The communication of the inspector of
buildings requesting an opinion as to
whether under paragraph IL. section IL, of
the building regulations, in the case of an
existing building or one recently built as
shed, he has the right to prevent its occu-
pancy for stable purposes, was reported
by the attorney for the District today. Mr..
Thomas after quoting the paragraph SAYS:
Il am of opinion that this paragraph does
not refer to the case of stables for horses,
but is limited entirely to the uses men,
toned. The section following, II, seems to
deal with the erection of such buildings or
their conversion to stable purposes after
erection"
