the continued state of Apr shension in the
community, caused by his apparently men
acing attitude, and asked If he could net
give him some assurance which would re-
leve this injurious fear.
Mr.. Willis replied that the inquiry did
not seem to be specific. Dole answered on
the 9th that the Presidents message re-
ceived that day transmitting 20 Congress
the decision of the whole business relieved
the public mind, and had obviated the need
OF further inquiry. Mr.. Willis has express
ed much irritation about Dole's making the
above inquiry.
From one of the highest sources 1t is
learned that the feeling of the government
Is that Willis course has been cruel and
virtually holding over the city the threat
of landing the naval forces
While the Presidents language seems to
imply that Willis never had orders to use
those forces, he seems to have had private
instructions to use the menace as a bluff,
for which purpose he has always kept the
admiral in ignorance of his intentions while
from time to time causing preparations for
landing to be made.
President Dole is suffering somewhat
from the reaction from the recent excite
ment and tension and labor of preparing
the reply to Willis demand.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
Carts in Alleys.

A great howl has gone up from the en-
teams are destroying the paved alleys OF
the city. This has been supplemented by a
report from the superintendent OF street and
alley cleaning that the damage caused by
the carts and heavily loaded teams to the
alleys makes 1t almost impossible to prop
erly sweep them.
The subject was one of such Importance
that the Commissioners called upon their at
torney for advice. He replied today that the
evil sought to be remeded Is worthy OF ef-
fort. and he submits the following amend
ment to the police regulations, which ne
recommends be adopted:
Ordered: That article 10 OF the police reg
ulations or the District OF Columbia be
amended by the addition thereto Of the fol-
lowing section:
Section 3D. That no wagon, cart or other
vehicle, whose weight, Including the vehicle
and its load, exceeds pounds shall be
permitted to enter upon or pass through or
over any paved alley in the District OF Co.
lumbta without a permit in writing from the
Engineer Commissioner. unless such wagon,
cart or other vehicle is at the time engaged
In hauling for purposes connected with prop
erty abutting on such alley.
Any person violating the provisions of this
section shall, on conviction in the Police
Court OF the District OF Columbia be pun
ished by fine OF not less than 81 nor more
than 800, TO be collected as other fines and
penalties are collected.
Exempted From Taxation.
The Commissioners have ordered that lots
IL and II in square VA be exempted from
taxation. This is the property of the Oblate
Sisters of Providence. Lots ), . and To-
however, are not exempted.

Sad Eject. Of q Poor Memory,

An Irish officer who had served in Malta
was one day at a public dinner. Expatiat-
ing on the luxurious living at Malta, he
spoke particularly Of the excellent quality OF
the anchovies. He had never seen any like
them anywhere else. He told OF a grove OF
them ne had seen growing in the governor o
garden upon the esplanade. A gentleman
present disputed the statement that ancho-
vies grew on trees. The Irishman reaffirmed
1t most emphatically. The wine was flowing
and the lie passed. A challenge was given
and accepted. The following day the parties
met. attended by their seconds At the first
fire the lrishman's shot took erect in his
opponents thigh. the ball hitting the bone
and causing such q shock that the latter

"Capers! Capers:' exclaimed the lrishman,
with start; oh. by the powers, what have
l done? Bad luck to me forever for such
dreadful mistaken" And. Fastening to the
side of his antagonist, who had been raised
to sitting posture. he grasped his hand.

their mother tongue to the extent of SAYING

guage. One Of them sang a duet with an
English cousin and DR.. johnson made an

A Curious Discovery.
From the Kansas City Times.

From the kahfas CITY Times.
A farmer OF Linn county. Kansas. while
boring for water, has discovered q natural
curiosity OF kind hitherto unknown. At
the depth OF ninety feet the drill penetrated
seemingly bottomless cavern. A strong
volume OF hot air at once rushed out, driy-
ing the drill upward ana disabling the ma
chinery. The air Is pronounced perfectly
dry and viii burn the fingers or roast eggs
and potatoes as nice az could be desired
The escaping air first made a noise like
many little whistles, but 1t now comes out
with a roar to be heard half a mile away
Oblivious to the fact that he may have
tapped the resting place OF departed Kansas
politicians, the Linn county man is going to
move his house over the hole and utilize the
discovery for steam heating purposes.

the work Of the relief committee is made a
little more systematic he thinks all worthy
persons will be relieved and there will be
no suffering.
Sanitary Omcer Frank.
While the police and members of the re-
lief committee are engaged in relieving the
suffering poor who reside in the District,
Sanitary Officer Frank is busily engaged in
looking after those who are here from
other sections and they are numerous. He
also looks after many of the sick who are
not blessed with comfortable homes, the re-
suit of being poor, and also the old persons
who are homeless. The transient callers,
he told Star reporter today. have been
piling in at rapid rate, and among them
he had found many who are above the
average of intelligence They are men look

after a fruitless mission. looking for en-
ployment.
And" he said. II always do what can
me to send them all the way home. for
many of them live too far from here and
the appropriation Is Only $1,000"
Most Of the free wards in the hospitals,
he said. are now filled and there IL scarcely
any room left In the almshouse.
The Central Missions Work.
The charitable work Of the Central Union
Mission is being increased almost every
day. and in the dining room the poor per-
| sons find excellent meals for only a few
cents. This branch of the charity is be-
coming very popular, but the character and
quantity of the food furnished render the
output a little more than the income, max
ing the dining room other than self-support-
ing. Mrs. Pratt, who has charge. does the
buying for the kitchen and dining room, and
while the supplies are obtained at the low
est figures. she finds It almost impossible
to conduct the work unless q few contribu-
lions are received from time to time. Yes
terday 115 persons were fed In the dining
| room, and today at the noon day meal every
seat at the tables was occupied. and others
were waiting for them to be vacated.
The Bill of Fare.
The bill of fare today consisted OF roast
beef and lamb mashed potatoes, turnips
and tomatoes. bread and butter with tea,
coffee or milk as well as a large bowl OF
vegetable soup. All this was furnished for
10 cents. while bread pudding was furnish
ed for five cents extra. A bowl Of soup
with bread and butter costs five cents.
There were men, women and children seat
ed at the tables. Some of the men had been
given tickets for work performed about the
building. or in the wood yard, while others
had tickets given them by charitable per-
sens, and still others paid their five or ten
cents and enjoyed what was set before
them.
The tickets sold at five cents each are on
sale at the mission, as well as by men,
