ryp ToSc BR1DGE.-Mr. E. F.

PaiIroad has written a letter to the

day the road is going to rebuild the

ZION of the old structure is such that
somathjng must be done at once to
make it passably safe. The letter Is as
follows: ..,o.o.Lo,,
some of the Howe trusses OF our Long
bridre over the Potomac, temporarily,
mill such time as we will be able to re-
mild The only way that | can see
that this can be done would be by
driving four rows of piles; in other
words four bents of four piles each,
Under trusses /. ), 9, II and II. These

about twelve inches in diameter at wa

Ill bents being outside of the channel.

asit is necessary that it should be done

warded TO the Secretary of War, under
whose jurisdiction the proposed work

AN AFFRAY AT CAMERON Run
Early last night w. S. Allensworth and
Charles t. Finley two resident of this
city, and a colored man named Town
shend (alias Jink) Soloman, started for
Cameron run for the purpose of fishing.
After having crossed the railroad
t 'ack near the Arlington distillery they
were accosted by Frank Ballenger
and young man named Fegan, who,
according to the evidence, seemed dis
posed to incite row. The three men,
after having had some words with Bal
lenger and Fegau, proceeded to Cam
eraOn run and had taken off their boots,
lighted their torches and entered the
water when the two men they had en-
countered at the railroad track sud-
denly appeared with others and as
saulted them. Allensworth was cut on
the abdomen, and his companion re.
cognized Ballenger as the assailant,
testifying that he used q razor. Fegan
it is claimed, made motions as though
he had a pistol. The assailed par
ties later returned to the city
and reI orted the affair to the
authorities, and watch was KEEP:
for Balleuger and Fegan. This morn
ing the first named appeared in the
city and was soon in custody Of Officer
John L. Smith, who telephoned from
the depot to the police headquarters
that he had captured him. Lieut..
Smith sent Officer Davis to the depot
and the accused was taken to the sta
ton house. The case came up before
Mayor Straus this morning. Ballenger
refused to make a statement, and the
Mayor not having jurisdiction in IL e
case, sent the accused and his accusers
to the Fairfax authorities. Mr.. Aliens
worth's wound is serious one, though
not necessarily dangerous. Had he
been few inches closer to his assail-
ant, however, he would doubtless been
killed.

The NIGHT Soil QUEsTIoN.-Mayor
Strauss will call another meeting of the
City Council early next week in order
that law may be enacted that will
settle the question of the disposition of
the night soil of the city. As the law
now reads the soil is to be placed with
out the city limits, and thefe seems to
be diversity of opinion as to whether
the Mayor or Council committee has
the power to designate any particular
place of deposit The Corporation At
lIorney and other lawyers who have
been consulted say they have not, and
the only way out of the difficulty is fol
council to repeal the section requiring
I u soil to beplaced outside the city's
limits and to authorize the Mayor tc
select place of deposit.

Among previously overlooked va
garies of the Star was an article that
appeared few days ago, describing
how effectually the United States
revenue cutters would wipe out
smuggling in this group after an,
nexation. 1t is in order to ask after
that whether it was the editor OF
the Star, when on the staff of the
San Francisco Chronicle, who wrote
the graphic description in that jour
nal of the "Smugglers' Paradise y
that name being given to the whole
Pacific Coast line. The descriptive
article in question made prominent
the alleged utter inadequacy of the
revenue cutter service, which the
Star says would clean out the snug,
glers from the rugged coasts of these
islands, in ridding the coasts OF
Washington, Oregon and California
of the same fraternity.

English Opinion on Nordhoff.

EDITOR BULLETIN
l find by reading several leading
papers from the States, that Mr.,
Nordhoff, through his able article to
the n. Y. Herald, has already got in
his deadly work against the "Upas
tree" lately planted in Hawaii.
Even in England Mr.. Nordhotf is
we'll known, and his writings appre-
ciated. The Birmingham Post after
quoting his article says: "Preferen-
tial sugar interests, under the change
of the lately elected President
Cleveland are not likely to be fost-
cred in Hawaiian interests, and thus
we fancy this last Hawaiian revolu-
tion may possibly not continue to
present the same alluring entice-
ments to the American nation. Ha-
waii being a native country it seems
strange to us that, in this imbroglio,
the natives seem to have been ignor-
ed altogether; and it is this point
alone, we believe, that led President
Cleveland to withdraw the treaty
and send Commissioner Blount to
report on the situation. From vari-
Gus American papers we gather that
U. S. Minister Stevens took pro-
minent part in overthrowing the
monarchy, and, if this should be
proved, the United States will un
doubtedly restore the Queen. Under
the peculiar circumstances that
America is placed in by the action
of her Minister to Hawaii, we can
not see how America can do other
wise than restore the monarchy, with
strict justice to herself and the Ha
waiian nation3 The public vii
soon learn that the pusillanimou
writers here, who undertook to dam
age the veracity of Mr.. Nordhof a
a writer would stand in comparison
to that gentleman, as an insigniti
cant gnat to royal Bengal tiger.

Government papers are making a
great boasting about the saving that
is going to be effected from the OBJ
liberation of the royal establishment.
With a military expenditure at the
rate of over S322OOO for the biennial
period, as shown in this paper few
days ago, the taxpayers have no rea-
son to anticipate that economy will
make "a glittering show on the es.
cutcheon of the Provisional Govern
ment. The best means for giving
confidence in its policy of economy
would be for the Government to be-
gin saving. Thus far its best en-
deavors would appear to be devoted
to a policy of borrowing.

Hawaii Refused.

The stars and stripes, which for two
months have tloated from the govern
ment building at Honolulu, have been
hauled down by order of Commission
er Blount and replaced by the flag of
the monarchy. 1t will be remember
ed that Mr.. Blount was dispatched to
Hawaii by President Cleveland as a
commissioner of the government to
investigate the advisabilty of annex
ing the islands to the United States.
The events preceding this, the pro-
tectoratc, Mr.. Harrison's proposed
treaty and its withdrawal by Presi-
dent Cleveland are fresh in the public
mind.
While it was thought that Mr..
Blounts report upon the condition of
affairs in Hawaii would form the ba-
sis of action for the new adminlstra-
| ton, 1T WAS not even surmised SO far
as the Herald knows, that he was
clothed with any power to act in the
mater. The country is surprised,
| therefore, to find that Commissioner
Blount went to Hawaii armed with
all the necessary authority To haul
down the United States flag and order
that of the monarch, under Queen
Liliuokalani, to be again floated to the
breeZes. The report which Commits
sioner Blount will make to the govern
ment upon his mission and its achiev-
ments will be read with intense inter
est by the whole reading world, if 1t
shall be given to the public. What
he found to be the true state of affairs
in the island, the true sentiment Of the
| people, the reasons upon which he
! founded his action, will make Mr..
Blounts report Il document much TO
be desired.
AT all events, Hawaii is not to be a
territory of the United States From
what we knew of Mr. Cleveland's IDEAS
of governmental policies, we readily
saw that if the Republican senate
fai ed to ratify Mr.. Harrison's propos-
ed treaty, that hastily construct, d
! document would never attain the dig
nifty Of international law. Its with
! dra wal by the new administration was
no surprise. The agitation for the
annexation OF Hawaii from the first
smacked too much uf foul play and
| corruption to win unanimous approx
al, or the appreciation OF the president.
The country will anxiously await
further developments and "A detailed

OWNERSHIP ENHANCEMENT.
Interruption to the Demolition of
House at Kamoiliih.

Mr.. Kela, an employee in the Ho-
nolulu Iron Works, sent three men
David Manana, Kaleikuahine and
Hunane-to Kamoiliili this morn
ing to tear down a certain house
which was alleged to be owned by
his wife. The men went out to
comply with his order. Shortly be-
fore noon, man named Lui APP
peared on the scene and demanded
of them to desist. Lui reported at
the Police Station and the men were
arrested on the charge of malicious
injury and mischief. They secured
bail of $50 apiece this afternoon.
The property has been held by
two elderly men, whose foster child
is Mrs Kela, and it is claimed the
house belonged to her. The mar
Lui, however, puts in a counter
| claim, hence the trouble.
