A VIGOROUS PROTEST
Against Another Garbage Factory in
South Washington.
Citizens Call ON the COmmissiOners-
Patrick Mann's Request Com
missioner Powell Thanked.

There was blood in the eye of the delega-
ton from the South Washington Citizens
Association this morning when it called to
protest against the granting Of a permit to
Patrick Mann to erect a reduction plant
similar to the one used by the sanitary COM
pany on ground opposite the latter at the
foot of South Capitol street. The delegation
was headed by Mr.. W. w. Flemming, the
legal representative of the association, and
President W. A. Richards. Thos. Martin
Henry Story and E. c. Gatchell. Mr. Flem-
ming stated generally the object Of the
visit. He said it was preposterous to think
of further burdening the people Of South
Washington by the creation of another
nuisance. He stated further that at the
last meeting of the association the present
committee was selected to get an answer
from the Commissioners as to what they
proposed to do in the matter Of abating the
nuisance caused by the sanitary company.
Commissioner Ross said, in reply, that the
citizens of South Washington were certainly
entitled to a full hearing. and 1t was the
Commissioners desire to give their request
careful consideration and action. He would
try and bring the matter up at a special
meeting of the board today and finally set
tie the question.
Mr.. w. A. Richards Of the delegation
Washington had its share of nuisances al
ready, and trusted the Commissioners would
peremptorily refuse the application Of Pat
rick Mann to build another monument de-
voted to nuisances. But" he continued
the people of South Washington want to
know what the Commissioners are going
to do with their urgent appeal for relief
from the noxiouS odors created by the Ma
tional Sanitary Company. For months
they have endured the horrible odors, and
they think 1t about time that some action
was taken in the NATTER
Messrs. Thomas Martin and Henry Story
and 4. c. Gatchell also spoke in the same
strain.
After the hearing had concluded the dele
cation paid its respects to Capt. Powell and
rendered the thanks of the South WASH
ington Citizens Association for his sue
cessfu. efforts of cleaning James creek
canal. 1t was one of the greatest improve
meuts. they all stated. that had taken place
In South Washington for a number Of
years and they thought that he deserved
the greatest credit for the interest he had
taken in that section and his successful
effort in rfdd1ng South Washington of one
OF its most dangerous nuisances They
hoped that he would be equally successful
In cleaning out the National Sanitary Com
pany.

THE TRIP OF THE DETROIT.
She Il Expected to Arrive at Rio on
Monday.


Tomorrow or next day, II all goes well,
the U. s. naval force in the harbor of Rio
de Janeiro will be augmented by another
vessel. the new cruiser Detroit, Commander
Brownson.
A cable message received at the Navy De-
artment this morning from the commander
reported the arrival Of the Detroit at Ba-
hia, Brazil. yesterday, 10 miles from Rio.
The Detroit was due in Rio today. If she
is not Obliged TO stop for coal at Bahia her
arrival at Rio may be expected on Monday.
Ever since 1t was decided to send the De-
troit to the scene of the Brazilian troubles
accidents, omissions and delays have pre-
vented her from furpishing speedy protec-
ton to American interests at Rio, and in
stead of being the first United States war
ship to arrive there, as was intended by the
Navy Department, she will be the last OF
the fleet assigned to that duty to reach the
scene of the revolution.
She> started for Rio from Fort Monroe
and Syas called back in order that certain
tests in conformity with the contract for
her construction might be complied with
Again after longer delay for this pur-
nose than was intended, she encountered
gales in the South Atlantic and put into
Barbadees for coal. several days overdue
Her arrival at Rio today was confidently
looked for by Secretary Herbert, but again
the department has been disappointed.
There is no great necessity for haste
in getting the Detroit to Rio at the present
time as American interests have sufficient
protection in the cruisers Charleston and
Newark but this government is anxious
to make as great display of force while
affairs in Brazil remain in such a critical
condition.

Don't Want Information.

In the House yesterday afternoon a long
discussion ensued upon the presentat ton
by Mr.. Springer Of a resolution calling
upon the Secretary Of the Treasury for Ger
tain information touching state banks.
Ihe resolution was opposed by the friends
or the state bank system, as they claimed
that the information which would be fur
nished would be an eX-parte and partisan
statement prepared by the late republican
administration to injure the cause Of state
banks.
Representative Dingley Of Maine spoke
earnestly in favor of the resolution.
After some further discussion vote was
taken on the passage, but no quorum hav-

STANTON'S EXPLANATION,
His Telegram Given Out by the War

MellO Was Flying the Braxilian Flag
The Only Admiral Anoat-Has
Hauled Down His Flag.

There was one new development in the
case Of Acting Rear Admiral Stanton today
when Secretary Herbert decided to make
public the telegram which he had from
Stanton with reference to the Rio incident
According to this telegram Admiral STAN
ton saluted Mello because he was the senior
admiral of the Brazilian navy afioat and
was flying the Brazilian flag. This expla-
nation was suggested in The Star last even.
ing and tends to throw a better light on
the matter. although 1t is still considered
to have been at least a grave error Of judg-
ment on the part of the deposed officer.
The official statement given out at the
Navy Department this afternoon was as
follows:
Iuesmuch as there seems to be an i'm
preston that the President acted In the
matter of removing Admiral Stanton with
out hearing from him it is fair to state
that before the order was issued Secretary
Herbert had sent telegram Of inquiry and
had received the following reply:
CTranslation,)
RIO JANEIRO, Oct. 25. 1S93
Secretary Of Navy, Washington:
Before anchoring saluted nag Of Brazil
twenty-one guns. Salute was returned by
government fort. After anchoring received
visit from aid-de-camp Of Admiral Mello
hyinS Bfazihah mag. Returned SAID WISH
Saluted Brazilian admiral afioat. Salute was
returned by same. No call received from
any Brazilian officer from the shore. Mex,
day called upon Brazilian admiral. Visi,
returned. Mello only Brazilian admiral
afioat.
(SignedD STANTON.
Hauled Down His Flag.
The navy department yesterday received
the following telegram from Admiral STAN
ton in answer to the order recalling him:
II have hauled down my nag, and will
proceed home by the next steamer"
Admiral Stanton's action still continues
to be the subject OF general comment
among naval officers. No one excuses him
for the remarkable performance of saluting
the insurgent admiral. yet all pity him for
the unfortunate and inexplicable blunder.
Many still hope that he will be able o ex-
plain away at least portion Of the e-S.rious
reflection which has been cast Upon an
honorable career; yet with the facts al
hand no one is able to suggest even a pos
sible explanation.
1t Is said that none would be more pleas
ed than Secretary Herbert, who issued the
order Of detachment, to find when all the
details are known that there are extenuat-
Ing circumstances TO justify the course pur-
sued by Admiral Stanton.

They gave a permit to the National Sani-

they could make any distinction in the
matter.

TWO MYSTERIOUS. MURDERS.

ElltOn, Md.

No Clevv to the Two Tragedies near
ElktOn, Md.
Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
ELKTON, Md, October q. 1888.
The MARYLAND and Delaware authorities
have set themselves to thinking since the
two strange supposed murder cases found
between Elkton and Wilmington. The con-
clusion reached is that both bodies were
those Of two men murdered by the same
gang and the fact that both bodies were
divested Of clothing leads them to believe
that the sole purpose Of the fendish crimes
was robbery. and in order to escape de-
lection the victims were first killed and
then everything. including their clothing.
was taken.
Detective Jones of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company has been working on the
case and in day or two will hold a con-
ference with the authorities OF this state.
The supposition is that the f1endish crimes
were the work either Of some parties who
have started out to work the territory be-
tween Wilmington and this town or Itai-
ians who live in the vicinity of where the
bodies were discovered 1t Is known that
there are several clans Of these people who
live along the railroad and in the vicinity
and since the finding of the bodies their
actions have been closely watched.
Ing SoHoitioh OF Doth DO0ieS when found
leads the officials to believe that whoever
committed the crimes was in abject want
from the fact that the clothing was taken.
This heightens the suspicion that the work
must have been committed by some one in
the neighborhood. 1t will be remembered
that the body found near Stanton. Del, on
September rs. had no clothing on except
an undergarment and a blue Jumper, and
that the one found near Iron HILL Cecil
county. only eight miles apart, had nothing
on at all. The garments in both cases had
evidently been removed after the men were
dead, and the locations In which the bodies
We're found proves conclusively that there
mad been an attempt to conceal them The
one FOUND at Stanton was concealed close
TO the railroad and, as 1t had been hidden
IN the bushes In an unsuspected spot on a
place that Is seldom traversed at all, the
chances are that 1t would have remained
there until the last vestige of a human
form had disappeared had not some rail-
road men happened to be repairing a fence
ana detected its presence by the odor The
Iron Hill case was also conclusively the
work Of fends who had tried to cover up
their tracks. The body had been put out OF
the way and was only found through an
unusual circumstance. 1t will also be re-
membered that the body of an unknown
white man was found near Bacon Hill.
three miles south Of Elkton, on the P. W.
and b. railroad last winter, which till this
day remains unidentified.
