The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1893-06-02
shcrrcrd arrived here this evening from

the IffHNGut. IIf UhlUin ti lNNhr Wil'ff
resimations are 10 be- called for have not
been given out. but the fact that the
members Of tine Virginia delegation ia
Congress have had the ear Of Mr.. Car
lislc quite frequently OF late leads TO
The belief that some OF the heads Of Nir-
ginia office holders are very near the
guillOtlne basket and the near future viii
see some saupuinary work in the Oid Do
minion. and those here on The spot either
in person or by proxy are putting in
their heaviest licks now when the race
is in the h0mc-strotch The whip IS
never used until the race is nfarly over
and those who can put I'm the heaviest
licks last generally come out ahead.
Last winter was a particularly lard ono
ON lisht houses. and especially go was this
tho case I'm Chesapeake Bay, more than
one lighthouse being carried away bodily
by thc ice and a number of others Sc
riously damaged Wolf Trap lighthouse
was carried out 20 sea. and the Solo
mons Lump light Jared little better.
Luckily an this damage occurred before
Congress adjourned, and appropriations
were made at the last minute 10 repair
the damage that had been done For
Wolf Trap light 10000 was appropriated,
and for the Soiomons Lump light $4,000.
Plans are now being made under the d.
roction Of the Lighthouse Board for
new lights 10 replace those carried away.
The new lighthouse az Wolf Trap viii
be built on a caissOn foundation, and that
at S0lOmons Lump on piles. In the
meantime the mariners who travel the
Chesapeake. by night especially. are
clam0rOus for these Well-knOwn land
marks and temporary arrangements have
been made 10 supply them. At SOlOmOn'3
Lump which IS one OF the entrances 10
Tangicr sound a lantern viii be displayed
from pile. The keeper Of regular light
is now living on one Of the adjacent
islands. and VII give the lantern his atten-
tiOn whenever ne can reach II in his
row boat This lantern is one Of the re-
cent achievements Of the Lighthouse
Board. and Will burn eight days without
trimming.
At Wolf Trap the lighthouse tender
Holly will be placed as soon as her crew
can be transferred 10 the new steamer
Maple The Holly is about worn out, AMI
nt only for just such duty as That TO
which she IS 20 be put. One advantage
She viii have, and that is that, I'm addi-
ucn 20 the light she will display by night.
I'm thick weather she can use her steam
whistle for q signal Tho Holly viii be
Fept in place until she sinks at her moor
ings or the new light is erected
IL is now Understood here that the
Chinese Government has notified the
United States that If the Gedry law is
rot TOO severely enforced that China win
take no retaliatory steps. China will not
look with n critics eve on enough de-
portatlon TO keep the law alive, but any
o ing like a wholesale enforcement Of
the measure will bring on trouble be-
tween the two countries. China has not |
given notice tLat she will sever dinlc- |
matte. consular and business connection |
with this country. and there is little pro- |
liability that she will. Everything is very |
friendly between the two nations now, |
and there seems TO be no likelihood Of |
rupture.
