Experiences of Canvassers.
The canvassing committees in different
parts of the city are having interesting ex-
perfences. 1t is common testimony among
them that.as a rule those who are not partic-
ulariy well-to-do give more promptly and
generously in response to their calls than
those from whom one might naturally expect
to receive the largest contributions. In but
lew cases have reports been made that the
canvassers have been treated rudely. In
every part Of the city residents seem to
recognize that the canvassers have given
themselves to a work which some one must
90, and even where they do not give they
cneer them on their way with kind words.
IN one case lady engaged in canvass
lng after having some discouraging expert
ences. had her spirits revived by the
thoughtfulness of one gentleman who sent
TO her house a check for $50, with a note
staung that he would not give her the
trouble to have to retrace her steps to his
house In order to secure his contribution
Many other pleasant stories are related.
IN one case canVasser was received in a
luxurious house very stifiiy by the lady
or the house, who declined to give and
seemed to regard the visit of the canvasser
as an impertinent intrusion. When the
canvasser was leaving the servant at the
door, who evidently knew something of the
needs of the poor, gave the canvasser a
dollar, with word of apology because she
could not give more. The indications are
that the canvass will produce a large
amount of supplies. Estimates as to the
sum Of money to be raised differ widely.
and since the action of the cabinet In de-
Ginning to permit a canvass of the depart
ments those who made high estimates have
reduced Them as 1t was believed that the
department employees, who are the only
large class in the community having ready
money at stated intervals, would be in the
aggregate the largest contributors to the
relief fund.

MR.. LETTERS STONE FENCE.
1t In the Subject Of Letter From
Commander Dickins

1t 4. the Subject Of a Letter From
Commander Dickins.
Much has been written concerning the
big stone fence around the residence of Mr.
L. Y. Letter, located at the corner of 18Th
street, New Hampshire avenue and Dupont
Circle When 1t was first learned that the
fence was to be of stone and would exceed
in height the limit allowed by law the
building inspector was appealed to and
asked to interfere. AS the building of
fences does not properly come under the
regulations relating to structures the build
ing inspector claimed he had no jurisdic-
ton in the matter, except so far as il ex
ceeded the building line. Notwithstanding
the earnest protests the fence was built
close up to the building line This DESTROY

owner. who had party wall privilege
The owner complained bitterly, and the
building inspector was about to order the
fence down, when the representative of the
owner came in and said they were willing
to deed six Inches of their property to this
adjoining owner to satisfy his claim Mat
tiers went along in this way until TODAY
when Commander Dickins Of the United
states ship Monongahela wrote to the Com
missioners concerning the fence as follows:

COULD NOT BE CONFIRMED.

So Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. AstwoOd Are
Not to BE Reappointed.
The recent conference between the Presi.
dent and a committee of the Negro Demo
cratic League, looking to the recognition OF
colored democrats in the distribution OF
federal patronage. has again drawn: atten
ton to the cases of Mr.. c. ]. H. TAYLOR
and Mr.. Astwood. During the exsra SEES
sion of Congress the former was nGminatee
as minister to Bolivia and the latter as
consul to Calais. The nomination Of Mr.
Taylor lapsed with the session and that OF
Mr.. Astwood was rejected. At the reas
sembling of Congress in regular session In
December 1t was predicted that both mer
would be renominated. although there was
considerably more doubt of such action In
the case Of Mr.. Astwood than in that OF
Mr.. Taylor. Congress has now been In
session nearly two months. Neither Of the
nominations referred to has been made ant
it Is said that the committee Of the Negro
Democratic League which talked with the
President on the subject is satisfied tina,
the President does not contemplate renomi
mating either Of them.
This determination on his part Is said
to be due to a conviction that they stand
no chance of confirmation. He has a high
opinion Of Mr.. Taylor. but is skeptical Of
his confirmation as minister to Bolivia, In
view Of limitations that that government
would look with disfavor on the appoint
ment of a colored man as the diplomat tic
representative Of the United States. Thai
the league Is satisfied that Mr.. Taylor il
not to be accredited to Bolivia Is indicated
by the fact that 1t has urged his appoint
ment as recorder of deeds of the District
OF Columbia. This action on the part OF
the league was taken on the assumption
that Mr.. Bruces successor will be a coloret
man OF the democratic party, regardless OF
his place of residence. In case the Presi
dent decides to select a colored democrat
OF the District for this Office the league has
several good men belonging to that organi
zation to suggest but If the home rule
principle Is to be ignored, it's members are
united on Mr.. Taylor.
The committee discussed this question
with the President, and while they were
satisfied that the office would go to a color
ed man, they obtained no direct informa
ton as to his identity, nor We're they at al
enlightened as to whether ne was likely t
be a local man or an outsider
