Again Those Wires.

From the Boston Post.
The fremont Temple fire may not have
caught from defective electric light wires. In
deed, the probability is that another cause ID
responsible for this latest destructive confagra-
ton.
But the overhead wires on the street, outside
the building. we're On hand as usual to obstruct,
delay and endanger the work Of the firemen.
This experience is becoming painfully monoto-
nous. 1t is endured at every fire in the central
part of the city where the wires are the thick
est. and it is responsible for no uncomfortable
share of the losses which Boston has suffered
in this disastrous season.
How long is this nuisance and imposition to
be borne? The electric companies say that it
will cost them a great deal Of money to put
their wires under ground. and they do not want
to go to the expense.
But a fraction OF the values which have gone
up in fire and smoke since the beginning Of the
year in Boston would suffice to bury every cleo
trio wire in the city.

three democrats who did great service for
the party during the recent election Of dele
gates In this city to Chicago. They came in
droves of two or three, accompanied by Con-
gresham, others by Senators, and all Of them
by one or more Of the executive committee
having charge Of the inaugural ceremonies. No
time Is lost with the other Commissioners,
sioner Ross He is the acknowledged demo-
crat Of the board. its president and the repre-
sentative Of the administration. The Commis-
sioners have not as yet adopted the rule that NO
ex's will be appointed, and those who held ofice
under the last administration are especially &C.
tive in urging their claims for favorable con-
sideration. As yet the Commissioners have
given no notice that they propose to
make anv changes whatever. They re-
specially listen to all Of the claims and argu-
ments advanced, but as yet have promised no
one. OF course it is generally understood that
there will be several changes, but what they
will be and when they will take place is yet q
matter Of conjecture.
One Of the most prominent citizens Of the
District in speaking Of this matter to Q SrAR
reporter said he considered the interests Of the
District would be better served by retaining in
office. without respect to politics. all OF the eff
cient clerks. He did not believe tina: ths District
government should be made political machine
and he did not think the so-called prominent
democrats who had taken very small part In
the recent campaign should press the claims Of
other men for Office at the expense Of the Dis
trict He did not doubt that the sentiment
of the District OF Columbia in relation
to changes in Office WAS Overwhelmingly
against the Jacksonian principles Of "to the
victor belongs the spoils" No changes should
be made, he thought, unless the good OF the
service demanded 1t, and he predicted that the
policy which some democrats would force upon
the Commissioners would not prevail.

OPPOSITION TO THE SITE.

The Baltimore Sun today says: The following
communication, signed by thirty members of
tho city council has been sent to Senator Cor
man, with request that it be presented to
Secretary Carlisle:
I'VE learn that it is proposed to establish
national quarantine station at Hog Island. near
the mouth Of Patuxent river, seventy-seveu
miles below Baltimore. To subject vessels
bound to our port to examination there would
involve loss Of one days time for all Balti-
more-bound vessels- While recognizing the
vital importance Of proper measures to protect
the public health, we think an effort should be
made to avoid any unnecessary delays to COM
merce. If q national station must be estab-
tablished for Baltimore a location should be
sought not more inconvenient for Baltimore
bound vessels than Sandy Hook is for New
York. The subject is of great importance and
we ask your aid that our citys interests receive
proper consideration"
A similar paper has been signed by the board
Of trade
Residents of the neighborhood Of Hog Island
have been holding meetings to protest against
the use of Hog Island by the government as a
quarantine station. Protests numerousIy signed
will be promptly forwarded to Washington.

Special Correspondents of The Evening Star
Hoo ISLAND, Nd, March 20, 1893.
The revenue steamer Crawford left Baltimore
yesterday noon, under orders from the Treas
ury Department to convey q party consisting
Of Surgeon Stoner Of the marine hospital SER
vice, District Attorney Ensor. Mr.. Dunn Of the
coast and geodstic survey, Pilot Lewis Of the
Baltimore Pilots Association and Lawyer Tuck
all Ct Baltimore.
This party has surveyed and will report upon
the advisability of establishing a quarantine
station on Hog Island
The Crawford reached here last evening.
Early this morning Mr.. Tuck and Mr.. Ensor
went ashore to confer with Mr.. Redmon, the
owner of the island.
The weather being favorable Mr.. Dunn, as
sisted by an officer and q boats crew from the
Crawford, commenced laying and sounding
fivs-fathom line from Hog Island bar to the
western end of the island, continuing this and
the land survey during the day.
Upon the return to the Crawford Of Mr..
Ensor and Mr.. Tuck they were taken to Mill
the fifteen miles drive to Leonardtown to ex-
anime the records in proof Of title.
On their way back to Hog Island call was
made at Solomons Island to ascertain the feel
1nRs OF the Inhabitants relative to the estab-
lishment Of a quarantine station at the mouth
Of the Patuxent.
DR.. Marsh reported to DR.. Stoner that he had
made careful inquiry through the village and
that the sentiment Of the villagers was
unanimously in il. favor, and that
30 far from anticipating any danger to them
selves or injury to their business prospects they
were anxious to have the quarantine estab-
lished.
Upon the party's return to Hog Island DR..
Stoner, accompanied by DR.. Marsh, Capt.
Lewis and Mr.. Richmond, went ashore to in
spect the island, select building sites and locate
the position Of the proposed wharf.
Opposition to placing the government in
possession Of the property arose from the fact
that there is q lien of considerable amount
on the estate Of which Hog Island is q
part and the mortgage fears that the estab.
llshment OF quarantine station on the island
would SO far impair the value of the remainder
OF the property as to make his interest insecure
A proposition will be made to the govern
ment to sell the whole property at fair valua-
ton.
This is, perhaps, the best place on Chesa-
peake bay for the establishment Of a auaran-
tine station. 1t affords a splendid harbor, is
about sixty-three miles from Baltimore and
deeper water can be found nearer the beach
here than at any other harbor on the bay
The Crawford will be in Washington about
the 25th or Goth instant. E.

Among the comparatively recent organise.
Tons In our city is the Congregational Club.
Its name suggests its object. namely, the ad-
vancement of the interests of Congregationalism
and also to secure concert of action on matters
OF public interest. Regular meetings are held
at stated times. for which a topic for discussion
is assigned and addresses provided bearing
upon it.
The program last evening called for half
hour Of social greetings from 80 to Z, . bust
ness meeting from to 7:15. and from tbs to
9s discussion on the topic, .'Shall We Have .
Restricted immigration? ~
Justice Brewer, the president Of the club, was
in the chair. and after q few preliminary re-
marks he introduced as the firet speaker Of the
evening Mr. B. H. Warner, whom he character
lied as one who was always vitality interested in
any question which had to do with the welfare
Of the country.

CONDITIONS PROPOSED.

Then he asked, "How can this evil be
abated?" In answer to this he suggested four
conditions which should be imposed upon those
desiring an entrance to our land.
l. An educational qualification. II q man
cannot read and write let him study and ac-
quire the power to improve himself.
2. Require all agents Of steamship lines land
ing immigrants TO certify that their passengers
were not induced by advertising and specious
promises and do not fall within restricted
classes.
8. Immigrants shall have q certificate Of good
character and requisite education from consular
service.
4. Provide for more careful inspection of our
own ports covering the requirements men
toned.
Mr.. Warner concluded his address with an
appeal for unity Of purpose and action in order
to bring about such laws would efficiently
restrict the wholesale and Improbable immi-
grafton and thus preserve the integrity and
purity of the land which we all love and for
which our forefathers lived and died.

Mr.. WARMERS ADDRESS.

Mr.. Warner in opening his remarks asked,
"What has made our country great?'' and then
answered the question follows: "Not alone
its three million six hundred thousand square
miles Of area, its mineral. industrial and COM
mercial resources. the wealth which has crowned
Its vast enterprises, rather its people, they who
came before the repnbiic was born from an at
mosphere Of monarchial and religious oppres-
sion to a land where they through many hard
ships aud sore trials find homes and found a
government. The Puritans came to this coun-
try in 1920. 12S years after its discovery, more
than 270 years ago, and what they did to form
our government is a matter Of history. Con-
gregationalism can look back to its American
ancestry with pride, and tonight reviewing the
past ask whether the sacred trust handed down
by its forefathers is being faithfully executed"
Mr.. Warner then proceeded to show by
statistics that while our civilization and pros
perity had wonderfully progressed during the
existence Of our republic there had come to
our shores millions Of the residents of Europe
and other countries, many Of them totally I'M
fit for citizenship and lacking in all qualities
which might. under the influence OF time and
change, make them 80.
