Washington. March c0.-(Special The
C:aorgia congressman are being flooded with
notifications for office Mld there is not one
~ them who is not in receipt daily of a
volume of mail from his district from as
,;-auts fer Office The congressman are
doing the best they can and are working like
beavers for their constituents. but they
are, of course, helpless; i'll providing as many
of their constituents with office as they
would like until Georgia apportionmcHt OF
NsacraI patronage is adjusted TO fair basis.
.The matter of justice rests entirely with
the departmental heads and it is, consc-
crantly, solely matter for cabinet consd-
Grafton. 1he thousands of offices in the
different departments presided over by the
members of the cabinet are theoretically dis
,ributed among the states according to pop
uatinn. but practically Georgia has had no
showing whatever. having been almost en-
tirely crowded out by the republican ad-
illustrations.
The question of adjustment of the basis

stitution in its effort to secure Just recog-
milton for Georgia They feel this way about
il for two reasons. First, because they
know ii is a matter of justice for the state.
and second. because they want to provide
Cor as many of their constituents as pos
sible.
OF course. under the present basis. very
few Georgians can be numbered among the
fortunate. but the congressman earnestly
hope that radical and sweeping. change
will soon be announced by the cabinet OIL

proportion of federal patronage.
OF course the recognition of the state s
rights i'll the matter is the important ques.

The congressman approve of The Con

constituents who want offices under q sys-

The Tripartite Alliance.

There appears to be very little foundation
for the reported alliance of the United States
Russia and France. Careful inquiry does not
sustain this Interpretation OF the treaties re-
Gently concluded between the countries named.
1t is asserted that there is no provision in
either of the treaties very widely differing
from the extradition treaties negotiated with
Great Britain. Germany and other powers
One of the Senators who participated in the
discussion of these treaties has since publicly
expressed his opinion that the ratification of
these treaties would be regarded by Russia and
France as tacit agreement cementing those
ancient bonds OF alliance which had led France
to aid us in our revolution, and had induced
Russia to send its feet to our moral aid when
Napoleon was trying to induce Great Britain to
recognize the confederacy.

Unclaimed Money Of Deceased CoIored
Soldier.

Soldiers.
To tire Editor of The Evening Star:
beg space in your valuable paper to reply to
an article of Mr.. j. r. Ballard in YOUR issue Of
Thursday respecting Mr.. NJ. C. Buffers propo-
sition Of using unclaimed money due deceased
colored soldiers for building a home for the
aged and in6rm Of that race. First I should
like Mr.. Ballard to tell me who can lay better
claim TO that money il il were to be SO appro-
priated? He speaks Of the colored people
spending thousands Of dollars on excursions,
&c. and of their fine churches. Let Mr. Ballard
remember that often these excursions are
given for the purpose Of raising money with
which to build these churches and to help in
charities, which is greatly TO their credit
These people cannot put their hands in their
pockets and build homes for the infirm Is
readily some others, for they have not the
means. They have few Of the good things"
OF this world, and it is but natural that they
would indulge in few such amnsements as
other people. Far be it from me TO encourage
prohigacy- in any race or class, but do not
think il fair to keep the faults Of this people
ever in view and say never q word Of their
virtues. They. like all other peoples. have
qualities TO praise and defects to condemn and
correct, but because some measure Is proposed
to help the aged and in6rm do not LET all the
shortcomings Of the young and strong be
brought to the front - . reason Why It should
not be done. Many Of these aged ones are the
fathers, mothers, wives and sisters Of thoss de-
ceased soldisrs. n. LouuE JoanAx

Chief Engineer Melville has recommended to
Secretary Tracy that the cruiser Chicago be
prov ided with engines of a more modern type
than tn ose she now has, in order TO increase
her speed and allow a greater coal carrying
capacity. 1t is estimated that the engines can
be placed aboard for about $500, 900, which
would increase her speed from fifteen to
eighteen knots and thus make the ship moro
useful for cruising purposes. The hull Of the
Chicago is as strOngas the day she was launched
and with new engines she would be made as fast
a craft as her sister ship, the Newark, built
some wears afterward.

THE HACKS AND THE HOTELS.

THE HACKS AND THE HOTELS.
The Co mmissioners recently inquired of Maj.
Moore whether it is advisable to make an order
giving the stands in front of hotels and other
business places the character of regular hack
stands. Maj. Moore today replied as follows:
Il do not deem it advisable tibet the Com
missioners should issue an order giving the
stands in front Of the hotels. &c. the character
Of regular hack stands. To do so would be
to throw them open to competition and
to subject hotel proprietors and their
guests to serious annoyance. The existing ar
rangement made some four years ago was the
Nresult of q conference between the Commission
efs and hotel keepers and has worked salts
factorily. 1t allows each hotel proprietor to
select two livery Cor unlicensed) vehicles
to stand in front Of his hotel. and was carried
into effect by order verbally communicated

WANTS OFF IcER SMITH INVESTIGATED.
VIM. E. Fletcher Of 1873 street northwest

the conduct Of 0flieer Smith Of the third pre-
cinct. He says that On last Friday afternoon
he saw some men coming to take away some
furniture upon which he owed few dollars. He
shut the door and bolted it. A short time after
Officer Smith knocked at the door with his

AsrRoN6 GARBAGE COMPLAINT
Mr.. W. H. Smith of 20I street northeast
has written to the Commissioners concerning
the non-collection Of garbage in his sec
ton. He says that the garbage carts have
never been seen in that part of the District
There are twenty-five or thirty families
living thereabouts and some relief should be
given them in the matter OF disposing of their
garbage. He saws that he has beeh given to
understand that the contract covers his part of
