THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY
Bishop Hurst Consulted in Regard to a
Plan for the Grounds.
Contributions Received for Asbury
Building Well Under Way.

Bishop Hurst, in behalf of the movement
for the establishment of the American
University at Washington, has been in con-
sultation for several Gays with Mr.. Freder-
lex Law Olmstead upon the plan of the
grounds to surround the university, Mr..
Olmstead having been selected by the Com
mssioners to map out plan for the
boulevard and street extension, including
the extension Of Massachusetts avenue.
and also been employed by Bishop Hurst
to lay out the grounds of the new uni
versity. Mr. Olmstead has drawn pre-
liminary plan for the location Of the pro-
posed university buildings and a general
typographical features OF the grounds. A
definite plan cannot be fixed upon, how
ever until the grade of Massachusetts ave-
nue. extended has been determined upon.
Contributions to Asbury Hall.
Bishop HuIst has recently returned from
a tour through the west, which, while de-
voted to his duties as bishop, was also
utilized to the signal advantage of the in
terests of the American University. He
secured a number Of contributions to the
fund for the endowment of Asbury Hall,
and that fund alone is now nearly 100000.
He reports indications of constantly In
creasing interest in behalf of the univer-
sity on the part of the people who may be
expected TO render material nnanclal alu
The movement for the establishment OF the
university is rapidly growing in extent. he
said, and the friends of the project have
every reason to be pleased with the outlook.
Plans for the Admfnist trn tiOn Building
The plans for the administration building
are well under way, and will soon be out
Of the hands Of the architect While
abroad last GUNNER Bishop Hurst visited
many of the larger universities and COL
leges in Europe and made a study of their
buildings. He has thus been enabled to
inform himself upon the most modern
me- hods for the construction and arrange
ment of struc lures designed for educational
purposes. 1t is probably well known that
the plan of the American University COM
prises one central structure, to be known
as the administration building, and many
detached buildings picturesquely located to
serve as halls to be devoted to particular
branches of study.
The University's Scope.
In their correspondence and inquiries
upon the subject of the university many
people show that at the outset they are
laboring under a misapprehension of the
scope Of the university plan. The Amer
lean University is not to afford a collegiate
course, as many seem to believe, but is
designed to afford a field for higher educa-
tion, and especially for research in all the
advanced branches of history and science
A person, to enter the college, will be re-
quired to have a bachelors degree from
some college.

FREE GOLD FISH.
No More VIII He Disfrihated by the
Fish Communication.

Citizens who apply to, the fish commits
sion for gold fish will be doomed to disap-
pointment in the future. %The commission
has found 1t necessary to crtail the gen.
erous and gratuitous distribution of these
fish, which has come during the past five
years to be a large partsof the Institution
In the future gold fish will be furnished
only to state commissions. to parks and
for public uses generally, and will not be
given to private applicants.
This step has been forced upon the COM
mission by the steady increase or the de-
mand for gold fish, which has grown until
1t overtaxes the forces of the bureau and
interferes with more important work.
There Is no special law authorizing OF
compelling the commission to handle gold
fish.
Caused by Congressional Lar2ess.
The custom Of giving them away has
grown from small beginnings, some ten
years ago, until during the past five sea-
sons the annual output has amounted to
about 10000 fish. Congressman began 1t
by sending requests to the commission to
furnish friends with globe of gold fish,
Finally, II. became customary to supply any
applicant on the strength OF a letter bear
ing congressional Endorsement. and the
gold fish distribution became as well rec
ognized and popular a service as the gift
of garden seeds to rural voters by the Ag-
ricultural Department Nearly a third Of
the houses in the District of Columbia,
say the officials, have been supplied with
fresh-water stock at government expense.

THE GEORGETOWN POST OFFICE.
Indications Of VIM. A. Hutchins' Ap
pOfntment as Superintendent.

Indications of VIM. A. Hutchins' Ap-
pofntment as Superintendent.
The probable appointment Of Mr. William
A. Hutchins to succeed Mrs. Huldah w
Blackford as superintendent of the George
town branch of the city post Office was
generally discussed in West Washington
this morning, as well as among democrats
on this side Of the bridge. 1t was stated
with much positiveness that such a pro-
gram was contemplated and would be car
ried out. Some Of Mrs. Blackfords friends
whispered II about that her resignation had
been called for by Postmaster Willett; that
she had refused to comply with the request,
and that she would make a vigorous con-
test against removal in case such action
was decided upon. 1t was also said that
Mrs. Blackford would have a strong fol-
lowing in any fight she might make, large
ly composed of the many friends she has
made during her twenty years connection
with the Georgetown post office and sta
ton.
Postmaster willett had nothing to say
about the matter when seen by Star
reporter this afternoon.
Mr.. Hutchins is a lifelong resident OF
Georgetown and has always been active
among the democrats in that section. He
was a candidate for appointment as COL
lector of customs of the port of George
town some months ago. He is fifty-eight
years of age. He was a delegate from the
fourth (Georgetown) district to the last
local democratic convention, aud was an
adherent of what is known as the Norris
faction. He has been member of the
central democratic committee for many
years and Is still connected with that or
ganization. During the first Cleveland ad-
mnistration, when Mr.. Ross was post
master of Washington, Mr.. Hutchns was
offered the postmastership of Georgetown,
but declined it, for the alleged reason that
the offer was coupled with the condition
that he retain the republican assistant.
When Mr.. Manogue was made collector of
Georgetown one of his first acts was to
offer Mr.. Hutchins an $3.50 clerkship, but
the latter did not fancy a subordinate
position, and declined it with thanks.

CUTTING OFF RENT,
Treasury Bureaus to De brought In 10
the Department Building.

the department building.
The Secretary of the Treasury has taken
steps to reduce the expenses Of his de-
partment In the matter of rented Offices
This has been rendered possible by the alb
clifton of the second controllers office and
other offices located in the department
building under the Dockery plan of reor-
ganization Of the accounting system. Sew
eral rooms were vacated In consequence Of
this action, and they have been assigned
to the steamboat inspection bureau, of
which Gen Dumont is the head, which for
many months past has been occupying
quarters in the Maltby building, otherwise
known as the Senate annex. The force of
that office took possession Of their new
quarters In the treasury building today
There is no saving of rent in this particu-
lar transfer, for the reason that the Malt
by building is owned by the government
The case of the bureau of statistics, low
ever Is different. That bureau occupies
rented quarters In the Adams building on
+ street near 14th. 1t will also be shelter
ed under the roof of the treasury building
but the change will not he made until July
/ next, as the present lease runs to that
date and there would be no special ad-
vantage In moving the Office at present.

ANOTHER DELAY.
The Ericsson Starts ON a Trial, but
Her Air Pump Breaks.

The Ericsson Starts ON a Trial, but
Her Air Pump Breaks.
The unfortunate little Ericsson has added
another to the growing list Of unto
ward accidents which have prevented
her from completing a successful trial. A
telegram received at the Navy Department
from Commodore Sslfridge. president of
the trial board, states that a trial was be-
gun this morning at New London. The
weather conditions were perfect and the
torpedo boat was skimming along at a
twenty-three-knot gait, preparatory to
rushing over the line, when one of the air
pumps broke down, ending the trial alb
ruptly. tt
This new source of delay Is extremely
annoying to the officials of the Navy De-
partment. inasmuch as sthe department
has been at considerable trouble and ex-
pense in preparing for the trials that were
never completed. They have the consola-
ton, however. of refiecfing that certain
British warships were subjected to trials
lasting more tn IN year before they sue
ceeded In meeting contract requirements,
while success has almost invariably at
tended the first formal eRorts of our naval
ShipbuilderS.

THE INDIAN POLICE.
Lieut.. Ellis Says They Ought to Have

Lieut.. Ellis Says They Ought to Have
More Pay.
]. w. Ellis, lieutenant Of Indian police in
Indian territory, has written letter to
Secretary Smith in which he points out the
difficulties that are encountered In check
ing the Cook gang and other bands Of des-
peradoes. He says that the deputy mar
shals and Indian police are not well enough
paid to hunt down desperadoes. The In
dian police get S15 per month, and cannot
afford to pay travelling and other expenses
out of that amount in pursuing robbers.
He complains that rewards are offered for
desperadoes, but not paid IL they are
dian police should be paid $50 per month
and expenses. Good men, he says. could be
then obtained, and, placed under the direc-
ton of the Indian agent, would soon rid
the territory of desperadoes. He says the
Cook gang Is composed of two or three
negroes and fifteen white men.

BEST FOR BRAZIL.
Minister MendOnca's Opinion of the
Latest Da CANA Rebellion.


Latest Da CANA Rebellion.
Minister Mendonca of Brazil says the re-
port that the reberal admiral, Soldenia Da
Cana, has assumed the leadership of 1000
rebels against the new government Of
Moraes. is the last expiring gasp of mon
archism in Brazil. The minister has not
received official confirmation of the report,
but he says that il 1T is true it will be
good thing for the government. The lat
ter had been disposed to treat Da CANA
and other rebels with leniency, and there
was prospect OF general amnesty to them.
In that case they would have returned to
Rio Janelro to resume their monarchial
plots But with Da Cana an open rebel
he can be more easily dealt with than as a
secret plotter. Minister Mendonca says
the government will make quick work of
the Da Cana rebellion, IL ii proves to be
true and will thereby exterminate the
last yestige of monarchy in Brazil.
