APPEALS TO THE PRESIDENT.
Prof. Harrington Takes Exception to tn,
Weather Bureau Report.

Prof. Harrington Takes Exception to the
Weather Bureau Report.
As intimated in yesterdays STAR, Prof. Har-
rington does not propose to let the
charges against his management of
the weather bureau rest with the
report made yesterday by Assistant
Attorney General Colby. The courts, sooner
or later, will hear from the affair. In the mean
time the following breezy letter was sent today
by Prof. Harrington to the President:
May IS, 1893.
To the President of the United States
Sir: Recently charges were preferred against
me rela ting to my management of the weather
bureau of the Department of Agriculture. An
investigation of those charges was made by
order of the Secretary of Agriculture, which in
vestigation was conducted by Assistant Attorney
General Colby. A copy Of his report was deliv-
cred to me yesterday. That report is q wiilful
and malicious Justification of the testimony
taken in the case. For reasons which will APP
pear later it would be useless for me to demand
a hearing Of my defense from the Secretary Of
agriculture. As 1 was appointed to nv present
Office by the President of the United States it is
to him that apply for the fair hearing without
which no one should be condemned. 1 re-
spectfully request, Mr.. President, that you will
hear me and that you will order a copy Of the
said testimony to be delivered to me for use in
the preparation Of my defense. Very respect
fully, your obedient servant.
MARK W. HARRINGTON.
Chief of Weather Bureau.

Washington Gas Company Officers Buying
in Georgetown Gas Stock.
Stockholders in the Georgetown sslight
Company have recently been approached
with offers to purchase their stock at
figure above the market price with intima-
tons that the purchasers would be officers of
the Washington Gasiight Company. This
together with the fact that preparations are
being made to connect the mains of these two
organizations on the X street bridge has given
rise to stories of intended consolidation be-
tween the two companies.
Mr.. John Leetch formerly manager OF the
Georgetown company and now the manager of
the Washington organization, said to u STAR
reporter that he knew of no such intention
on the part of the COMPANIES TO consolidate
and he did not think that there was any
desire Of the oticers to DO The law pro-
nibits the Washington company from going
into Georgetown, but recently an agreement
had been made TINT the companies should con-
meet their mains on The a street bridge In order
that il case the Georgetown company found
themselves 1T any time unable TO supply the de-
mand for gas the sister company could furnish
it to them. Besides this the companies we're
working in perfect harmony. and there no
feeling Of desire among the officers of the COM
pany TO obtain control OF the Georgetown COM
pany.
The Georgetown stock is held by about 100
individuals, ard among them are officers of The
Washington connany. Mr.. Leetch had re-
Gently made an offer for 200 shares, but he Gid
it as personal investment as he con-
sidered the stock to be an excel
lent one. Ii the officers. OF the Washington
company hold stock in the other organization
they do SO asindiyiduais. and not as officers OF
the company.
