The Corsair remained ashore in spite
of efforts to float her, and the coast
guardsmen were compelled to pull ont to
her assistance. The other yachts an

pied by Edgar c. Younger. A quantity Of

caught and the fire spread to an adjoining
she'd Chief Paris and Assistant Chief
Lowe managed the fire, and succeeded in
confining it to the place of origin. The loss
will reach $1,000.

USE OF PARKING.
A Test Case Comes Up on Writ of
CertfOrari.

A Test Case Comes Up on Writ of
CertfOrari.
A petition for a writ of certiorari was
filed yesterday by Messrs. Frank Libbey
and Benjamin Miller, dealers in lumber at
9th street and New York avenue. They
state that they have been summoned to
answer in the Police Court charge of oc-
cupying certain public property for private
purposes, viz, the parking on said street
and avenue. for the storing of lumber and
other building material in violation of an
ordinance of the late corporation Of Wash
ington, approved November %, 1862. under
a penalty of not more than $50 nor less
than s25 a day.
The firm contends that their occupancy
is not permanent one, and that the park
ing space referred to is wholly unimproved
and is not required at present for the pur-
pose for which 1T was reserved. The oc-
cupancy is essential to the prosecution of
the business of the firm, and is not. they
say, an obstruction to the public highways
AS the case has been selected as a test
one, the petitioners pray that the case be
heard in the District Supreme Court, as
there is no right of appeal in the Police
Court.
The petition was presented to Judge
Bradley, who directed that the writ issue
forthwith. returnable before him.

Congress and the Government Print
ing Office.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
There is one phase of the matter to
which attention should be called at this
stage of the discussion over civil service
in the government printing office-the ques-
ton of Jurisdiction. The President of the
United States, when he appointed the pub
lie printer, ard his nominee was con-
firmed, exhausted his authority over the
public printing office. The control of that
Office is divided one; Congress, by it's
joint committee on printing, shares in the
management of it, and until that commit
tee approves of the contemplated change
it's legality is open to very grave question,
to say the least. The public printing Of
flee is virtually an anrex of the CAPITOL
Congress has always claimed its authority
over the public printing as absolute, to be
enforced when it saw fit to do so in the
furtherarce Of legislation. AL the laws
in relation to that bureau and the debates
over measures affecting it conclusively
show this to be the case. This being the
fact, 1t would seem to be wise to defer the
settlement of the. question till such settle
ment can be made defir lite and permanent,
otherwise much trouble may result from
too hasty action. EX-EMPLO1E
