LIBERTY'S LIGHT.
Patriotic Organizations Want It's Care
as Well as That of the Statue.

Patriotic Organixa lions Want It's Care
as Well as That of the Statue.
A committee representing the Sons of the
Revolution, the Order Of Cincinnati ana
other patriotic organizations is in the city
for the purpose of having the statue Of
Liberty, on Bedloes island, New York har-
Dor, transferred to their care. Mr.. Nc
Dowell of New York is chairman Of the
committee. They had conference with
Capt r. B. Evans, naval secretary Of the
light house board, on the subject this morn
Ing. They are DESTROYS of having the light
maintained in the statue. Capt. Evans in
formed them it would require an act Of
Congress to place the island and the statue
In their charge. The light in the statue is
not an aid to navigation, and the board Is
opposed to maintaining 1t out of their ap-
preparation at the expense OF other lights
that are really needed in the interest Of
safe navigation. Bedloe's Island Is under
the joint jurisdiction of the War and Treas
ury Departments. and in order to facilitate
its transfer to the patriotic societies, the
Secretary of the Treasury has recommend
ed that jurisdiction over the island rest
solely with the War Department.

The boiler used to heat the bureau of
engraving and printing having proved to
be incapable of keeping the building warm,
there was recently put in its place a new
water tube boiler, guaranteed to consume
twenty per cent less coal than the old
boiler The officials now complain that the
new boiler really consumes twenty per cent
more coal than the old boiler, but admit
that it heats the building. So the question
has arisen whether or not the guarantee
has been met. The treasury officials being
unable to determine the question them
selves called upon the Navy Department
for assistance. and accordingly the Secre-
tary of the Navy has directed a board of
expert naval engineers, consisting of
Messrs. Webster, Mcfarland and White, to
conduct series of tests to ascertain the
efficacy of the new boiler as compared with
the old one.

the complainant refused to prosecute and
that he is not wanted there.

THE ANACOsTIA RAILROAD.
Complaint I'm Regard to the Congress
siOnal Cemetery Branch.

The Commissioners have received the
following letter from Mr.. S. A. Lehman:
Il desire to call attention to the fact that
the Anacostia street railroad. in violation
OF its charter, has taken off every car from
Its branch line extending from 18th street
southeast to the Congressional cemetery
Inc service heretofore given its patrons
over this branch line consisted in running
but single car, with such intervals be-
tween trips as to make the service but
little better than nothing. But even this
little has been taken away. In behalf of
those living in the southeast, as well as
those visiting Congressional cemetery, / re-
spectfully ask that this company may be
compelled not only to replace the cars re-
moved, but to give the full service called
for by its charter"
