Especial Correspondence
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-There are two
men in this town, men holding high DO
sitions and enyied by thousands of their
fellow creatures, toward whom my SYM
pathies are extended. They are Secre-
taries Gresham and Carlisle. You have
heard Of men who worked like horse.
To work like horse is to work six DAYS
in the week, from early morning till late
at night, and get nothing out of it but
your feed and shelter. But these two
secretaries do more than this. It must
be like mule that they labor, for they
work seven days o week instead Of six,
They never know what it is to rest. And
what are they getting out of it2 A little
ephemeral famo, the consciousness of
duty well performed and O possible
chance to be president of the United
States some day. The second reward is
worth more to either Of them, / dare
say, than the other two together.
These two men occupy tho most diff
cult posts under the government. They
are brought face to face every day Of

AFFAIRS QUIET AND pEAoEABLE.

Only IA Little Suppressed Excitement on
the Streets Yesterday.
While the recent sad occurrence was
the chief topic OF conversation in the
city yesterday and while there is still
strong and bitter feeling on the part
of number Of the citizens against the
authorities, there were no demonstra-
tions, gatherings and outbreaks yes
terday. The police, circuit and Hust.
ings courts were in session as usual
and all business was transacted In the
same manner as formerly.
only the regular police officers are
on duty and th=rs is little or no viola.
ton of tue laws There was perhaps
mofe animate d conversations carried
ON about the late riot than on the day
preceding, but the cause of this was
likely that on Saturday more men were
idle and on the streets. There were
large number of strangers in the city,
all of whom visited tho jail, The court
house and tho scane OF the deplorable
battle.
CONDITION OF THE INJURED.
All the unfor tunate victims have been
buried and it is now hoped that all the
wounded will recover. The condition
of Ohio G. Falls is moro serious than
any OF the others. He was decidedly
better last evening and his phys.cians
and surgeons entertain strong hopes OF
his recovery.

T. G. Oakley, who testified before the
coroner's jury Friday informed THE
TIMES that in the report published yes.
terday morning he was incorrect y
quoted. His corrected statement is as
follows: 81 won't through the crowd
back and forth several times looking
for my boys to take them home, but I
could not find them in the crowd. The
mob came up the street yelling. I
started on up the street to church and
saw the mob move around to tho west
side OF the Jail and heard a battering
and banging ut the door. A few minutes
later the shooting began. I saw the
first shot fired, which was done by a
military man who was inside the build
ing, who put his gun up against or near
the top of the window nearest the door
that was being stoned, at an angle of
about IS degrees and fired. Almost
Immediately after the firing commenced
all around and the blaze from the win
dows seemed about on the level with
the crowd"
A TIMES reporter yesterday asked the
sworn stenographer if the published re-
port of Mr.. Oakley's evidence was cor
rect. He replied it was. Several of the
jury stated that 1t was correct and one
or two lawyers who were pre3ent and
heard the testimony stated that THE
TIMES did report Mr.. Oakley correctly.

Delayed publication of the report made to

no facts that astonish. no statements that
have not long ago been discounted But
after all, even supposing for the sake OF
argument. that American influences assisted
In the dethronement OF a most corrupt
queen. the question which interests the
American people is not the one of yeracity
between Minister Paramount Blount and ex-
Minister Stevens. The point is whether the
administration is justified in doing all and
more than Ii condemns the Harrison admin
istration for doing. If there was-and this

Interference was morally right for it con-
tributed toward the downfall of as rotten a.

there be an assumption of virtuous indigna-

pie OF the islands, the existence of which

The question Of what the citizens Of the
District are going to do to honor the splen-
did naval vessel that has been named the
Columbia" becomes very pertinent Just
now that she has broken the worlds record
and Is surely the fleetess of cruisers. Here
Is a chance for Washingtonians to show
their public spirit and to keep up with the
pace that has been set by the people of
other places that have given names to yes-
sells Of the navy. In no instance has one
OF the modern ships gone abroad on her
first cruise without bearing some token of
the esteem of the citizens most interested
In her. There are many ways in which the
people Of Washington can show their ap-
probation Of the compliment, and there
should be no lack of suggestions. Other
cities have made presents os bells, clocks,
silver services. punch bowls, ornaments and
libraries What is Washington to do?
There Is no time like the present Who
will head the list Of subscriptions for this
purpose?

Remarkable activity on the part Of a re-

Remarkable activity on the part Of a re-
markable criminal. who may be assisted by
others as recklessly vindictive as himself,
has stirred up this community to a most
uncomfortable degree. Night after night
have the homes of decent citizens been raw
aged by burglars whose delight IT was to
destroy clothing and furniture and food, and
day after day have the unvisited ones wor-
ried themselves over defenses with which
they hoped to keep the vandals out. There
has been a great boom in the sale of locks
and bolts and window fastenings and burg
lar alarms. while watchdogs acquired pre-
viously unsupported values. The alarm was
not unreasonably founded. was not a
scare" People who would not have been
greatly disturbed at the loss of few speci-
mems Of silverware or jewelry were horri-
fed az the thought Of such destruction as
has been wrought almost nightly. From the
time when the first of these remarkable
offendings became known the police have
been vigilant. and during the past two
weeks have undoubtedly done all in their
power to capture the villains, but it has
not yet been established that any of the
parties arrested are the guilty ones. Natur-
ally there has been loud public demand for
such an increase of activity on the part of
the police as would meet the cunning and
agility Of the vandals, but there was no
necessity for such prodding; the worst
frightened woman in town was not more
anxious to hear OF the arrests than the
police were to make them. Every available
officer was put on duty during the hours
when the greatest force would naturally be
needed. and all that could be accomplished
by the patrolling of ununiformed men was
apparently done But, may it not be asked
whether the public has not expected too
much Of the police force? Has not the
solving Of this succession of mysteries been
work for clever detective faculties, such as
ere not to be expected in men who do
ordinary police duty? This slashing bust
ness is decidedly abnormal, and the eccen-
tricity of the thing. combined with the evil
derce left at various houses in the shape
of cast-of cloIhi2s am written communi-
cations, would be valuable and Identifying
testimony were the case PLACED before a
highly-skilled scientist in the detection of
crime. The services of such a man would
OF course be more expensive than the en-
gasement of one WHO is quite capable of
dealing with average misbehavior, but the
people Of Washington would not bcgrudge
a liberal salary II one OF the princes of the
detective profession IL the authorities will
only secure one who is capable of cutting
short the careers CT such as thos. who have
bothered Washington for the pas. month.
An increase in the number of policemen

asked for-and a decrease in the number of
offcers detailed for special duty, such as at
the Executive Mansion, for instance, should
take place at the earliest possible date and
with that increase ought to come provision

comes a decrease in the crew-two men can
do all the navigating-and an increase in
the carrying capacity of the beat; the lat
ter advantage resulting from the removal
of the stables that now take up so much
space. With the facts developed during
the experiments Gov. Flower proposes to
ask the empire state legislature to equip
the states great waterway with the cheaper
and more effective motor and as the propo-
sition is in the interest of true economy
there will hardly be any considerable op-
position to 1t. Railway COMPANIES whose
business will be affected by the competition
may try to delay the reform, but the
chances are favorable to the speedy en-
actment OF the necessary legislation. WASH
ington and the state of Maryland should
be quick to see in this projected improve
ment an opportunity for reviving the traffic
Of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal and for
converting that waterway into a CONNER
cial artery Of greater importance than even
Its projectors imagined it would be. With
the cost of coal transportation reduced to
one-third the present rate the river front at
the southwestern edge Of the city should be
enlivened by the almost continuous pres
ence of great fleets Of ocean going vessels
being laden with almost numberless tons
of black diamonds" The Cumberland coal
region would have every advantage over
competing territory and the result would
be great and profitable growth.

The folks who sneered, some years ago,
at the idea that this country should have a
modern navy, are now receiving several
object lessons that ought to convince them
OF their folly. At no time in the peaceful
history of the United States has a navy
been Of more service. With large interests
In Hawaii and Brazil, both troubled to our
danger, We cannot have too many fleet,
well-armed ships afioat, manned and under
orders. This a bad time to raise the cry of
economy in this direction. There is not an
expenditure that has been made toward the
establishn ent of the navy on a broad and
generous basis Of late years that has not
been amply justified. and even today. after
millions have been spent, 1t were we'll II
there were more cruisers like the Philadel-
phia and the Columbia afloat. The magnifi-
cent performance Of the latter warrants the
belief that this country is we'll able to keep
up with the rest of the world in the matter
OF speed. and perhaps even to set the pace.
To be sure, it is barely possible that
the naval force in Hawaii at this time may
soon engage in a work that does not receive
the appreciation Of the American people but
it is carrying out the wishes Of the govern
ment, nevertheless. In Brazil, there may
be even more need for trim, staunch fight
ers before this curious warfare Is over, for
with the kaleidoscope changes that happen
there 1t is impossible to foretell what may
turn up. The navy il now well started {;
let it not be allowed at this time to rest at
the stage of excellence to which 1t has been
brought, for there should be kept in mind
the fact that in these days of progress
there is no such thing as completion. and
that only by constant watchfulness and
judicious expenditure can the best be OBJ
tanned and maintained.

From the New York World
President Monroe was no Don Quixote

mean that because We are compelled to

neighbors with the chivalric purpose of
aiding fat colored queens who have been
wrongfully deprived Of their thrones.
