Horses with sore shoulders will be q
rarity. it is said. when the pneumatic
horse collar comeS into general use. 1t
has been invented by a Londoner, and
is being introduced in the leading
European cities. The patent consists
of the usual leather casing, but instead
of being packed with a hard, nonyield-
ing substance, the pneumatic principle
Is applied. a rubber air chamber being
substituted for the packing. this in turn
being covered with leather, and when
the collar proper is inflated a flexible
and yielding surface is presented to the
horsp'S shoulders. 1t must be apparent
to the most casual observer that the
collar in present use must cause and
give mans noble companion an i'm
mense amount of pain. Owing to the
harsh padding it is impossible for the
collar to adapt itself to the animals
shoulders. and. therefore, chatting and
sundry other ills onSue. With the
pneumatic collar. as before stated,
chatting is impossible, as, instead of
the horse having to adapt itself t. its
collar, the collar adapts itself to the
horse the moment it is put on.-Phila-

THE CARRIAGE QUESTION.
MIR. DayIy Submits Some Questions to
the Commissioners.

MIR. DayIy Submits Some Questions to
the Commissioners.
Mr. S. p. Bayly. manager of the Ma
tional Sanitary Company. submitted today
to the Commissioners a letter with refer
ence to the matter of the disposal of gar
bsge in the District. He calls the atten-
ton of the Commissioners to the fact that
the laws Of Virginia and Maryland forbid
the dumping of garbage on either shore
of the Potomac. During cold weather,
however, Maryland allows garbage to be
dumped on few isolated points along her
shore, but this privilege will be suspended
as soon as warm weather sets in and the
garbage becomes offensive. Mr.. Bayly in
necessity for taking some immediate ac-
ton in the matter, as April 10 is the latest
date that this privilege will be allowed by
the state of Maryland. The Commission
ers have the subject under their consider
alton today, and will probably take some
action in the near future. The appropria-
ton bill now before Congress- carries with
it an appropriation of $4,000 for the re-
dUction by fire of garbage in the District,
but this sum will not be available until
the LIST of July. During the three months
prior to that date the garbage question is
likely to prove a serious one, and 1T is
quite probable that concerted action will
be made to have at least a portion of the
appropriation made available as soon as
possible. or new appropriation, instead
of waiting until the beginning of the next
fiscal year.

FIGHTING A BIG CLAIM
It Involves Nearly the Whole Of the Ter.
ritery Of Arizona.
Evidences of Fraud, Forgery and Per-
Jury Said to Have Been Discovered
by the Government officials.

The story Of a claim for land that has
been hanging over the best part OF the ter
ritory of Arizona for a quarter OF CEN
fury Is told in communication sent 10
the House by the Attorney General, VINO
asks for additional appropriation OF
S25 600 for fees and expenses arising there
under. The case is that Of James Addison
Peralta-Reavis and wife -agt. the United
States, pending in the court of private lana
claims for the confirmation OF l2,ID,Ooo
acres of land IN Arizona. An accompany
ing letter from NJ. G. Reynolds, United
States attorney for the court OF private
land claims says a large amount or tesu-
mony has already been taken on behalf OF
the government as to the forgery OF the
records from which certified copies or the
muniments of title were taken, showing
conclusively that the grosseSt frauds are
being perpetrated against the government
to secure a confirmation Of the claim. The
ramifications extend through the archives
of the City of Mexico and Guadala lara,
Madrid and Seville, Spain, and TO CaH1or-
MIA and Arizona.
1--WE have taken sufficient testimony"
says Mr.. Reynolds, land made sufficient
Investigations to justify the promise that
as well as the existence of the original
grant itself to one Baron Peralta, can be
successfully defeated and many OF the
guilty parties exposed. Forgery perjury
committed in almost every form" The let
ter sets forth that the claim is enormously
large The land is withdrawn from sale
and settlement and initiated titles under
the public land laws have been suspended.
The largest and best mines and the irriga-
ton enterprises in the ella and Salt river
valleys are covered by it. The capital of
Arizona, and its most fourishing towns,
and the most thtckly populated portion of
the territory. has been held back and today
stands waiting for the government to
speedily and successfully defeat not only
the claimant if possible, but the claim it
self. The grant carries all minerals and Is
absolute and unconditional. II, concludes
Mr.. Reynolds, the claim is not fully and
completely defeated it will subject the gov
eminent and it's citizens who are trying to
develop the country to continual harass-
ing and will stand as a menace to every
enterprise inaugurated for the development
of the mining and agricultural interests.
The case can, ne asserts, be won before
trial by its careful preparation.

THE SNOW AND ICE BILL.
Provisions of the Measure That Pass
ed the Scnate Yesterday.

PrOy1S1OnS OF the MeASurc ANSS.
ed the Senate Yesterday.
The Senate late yesterday afternoon
passed the bill Is. 1920 for the removal of
srow and ice from the sidewalks, cross
walks and cutters in this city, which has
already been noted at some length in The
Star. This is the measure drawn by the
Commissioners as substitute for the COM
paratively simple bill drawn by Senator
Mcmillan, which gave the Commissioners
power to make and enforce such regula-
tons for this purpose as they might deem
proper The Commissioners, however, pre-
ferred law that should set out the penal
ties and requirements in some detail II
this bill becomes a law the Commissioners
will have the power to cause every fall or
snow to be removed from the sidewalks
opposite each house, building, lot or land
within four hours of daylight after the
snow has ceased falling, under penalty
of 81 for each lot.
This will correct present evil caused by
the lack of any law requiring the snow TO
be removed from the sidewalks opposite
vacant lots. At present there are long
stretches of sidewalk in many parts of the
city from which the snow is never removed,
save by the action of the suns rays, ana
these places are great nuisance to pedes-
TRANS. There is a belief that the owners OF
vacant lots should be placed in the same
category the owners or tenants or
houses. Under this law the Commission
erS may remove tNe SHOW anu ice iIoiIl dii
sidewalks neglected by the owners or ten
ants of the opposite houses or lots. The
cost of this work shall then be assessed-as
a tax against the property, in addition to
the penalty.
1t has been suggested that the bill as
drawn it not sufficiently clear as to the
manner of collecting the penalties, and al
so as to when the owner shall be so fined.
and when the tenant. This may not be
material except as it may affect somewhat
the relations Of landlords and tenants.
The general custom is for the tenant to be
charged with the duty of keeping the side
walks clear. 1t has been thought that this
bill would have been an excellent medium
for a legal definition this point, and an
amendment to this effect may be adopted
in the House. if the bill should there reach
the stage of being considered.

Gently: when I was mounted police
man I learned of q most humane and kind
method of curing balky horse. 1t not

effective mastery of the horse is that he
can think of only one thing at time, ana,

theory is that the bending of the leg takes

LAUNCH OF THE AILSA.
May Race for the Americas Cup Next
Fall.

May Race for the Americas Cup Next
Fall.
GLASGOW, February THE 16O-ton
racing cutter Ailsa, designed by Mr.. w.
Fife, IT., for Mr.. A. Barclay Walker of
Liverpool, was launched this morning from
the yard of Messrs. Inglis, at Point House.
The Ailsa is said to be the handsomest
cutter ever launched. She is to be COM
handed by Capt Tom Jay, and will meet
Valkyrie III, the yacht being built by Lord
Dunraven's syndicate, in order to race for
the Americas cup. She will also meet the
Britannia and other fast English yachts,
and it is probable that If she proves to be
a better boat than any of them she will
be substituted for Valkyrie Ill as the cup
challenger, this being one of the conces-
sions made to the challengerS by the
Americas cup committee.
The Ailsa is composite cutter of strong
construc ton, with steel frames and ma
hogany planking. She is a trife over 50
feet in load water length and has moderate
beam and draught, with very large over
hangs fore and aft. In general appear
ance the Ailsa resembles the Luna. Her
free board is comparatively low, and her
sail area is large compared with that Of
any British cutter.

From the Amusing Journal.
A lady while engaged in the pursuit of

der similar circumstances, would have ut
tered a few genuine shrieks and then
sought safety in the garnet, but this one

Of genuine courage.
She summoned the man servant and told
him to get the gun, call the dog and sta

she clambered half way up stairs and conn

pole.
Presently the mouse made its appearance
and started across the floor The dog at

WILL BE A STRONG TEAM.
The Men Who VIII Represent the
London A. G.

LONDON. February AT the annual
meeting of the London Athletic Club, the
chairman, Mr.. ]. Il. Martin, referring to
the proposition to send team to the
United States, in order to meet team Of
the New York Athletic Club said that
the arrangements with the New York Ath-
letic Club We're not yet fully completed;
but the meeting would probably be held
on September 21. He feared that the heat
would prevent the Englshmen, in several
cases, from displaying their best form,
but all of them were expected to uphold
the prestige of the club. He added that
it had been decided that the contest was
to consist of eleven events namely
hun6red-yard dash, 200 yards dash, 40
yards run. half-mile run, mile run, three
mile run, a hurdle race, high jump, broad
jump, putting the weight and throwing the
hammer.
In regard to the two latter events, Chair
nan Martin said that the Americans have
a system of their own. but he expected that
the Englishmen would be soon able to
adapt themselves to these particular meth
DDS Of putting the weight and throwing the
hammer and prove themselves equal to
their Aemercan competitors.
The chairman also said that 1t was the
special desire Of the promoters of the in
ternational contest that the London Ath-
letic Club should send the strongest posi-
BILE team to New York. This team will be
confined exclusively to bona fide members
of the London Athletic Club and will prob
ably represent the full strength Of that or
ganiZation. in which case, 1t Is believed
here, the English team will prove to be a
most formidable one.
Mr. Martin, who Is connected with the
banking house Of Messrs. Martin Il Com
pany of this city, was reelected president
of the London Athletic Club.

SPRECkELS URGED FORCE.
Discoveries in the Diary of the Ex
Queen of Hawaii.

Queen Of Hawaii.
SAN FRANCISCO, February THE Elk
aminer prints the following this morning:
Honolulu, January 3O.-Up to the mo-
ment of the steamers departure the most
interesting phase of ex-Queen Liliuoka-
lanis implication in the plot to overthrow
the government is her written admission,
showing the collision Of young Rudolph
Spreckels, discovered among fragments Of
her majesty's diary.
when the raid was made on Washing
ton place, after the arrest Of the ex-queen,
resulting in the seizure Of arms, ammunl-
ton and bombs, q number on papers be-
longing to the ex-queen were taken posses
sion Of and turned over to the government.
Among the papers was memorandum In
her own handwriting, dating back to last
June and July, wherein occur frequent
references to Rudolph Spreckels, in which
he Is quoted as repeatedly urging her 10
resort to force to regain the lost throne
These opportunities were offset by J. y.
Carter, one of her closest advisers, who
counseled moderation.
Another paper found among the ex-
queens papers referred to the commission
appointed by her several months ago to
proceed to Washington and ascertain If
President Cleveland would take any further
steps to restore her to power.
I'm this she again alludcs to Spreckles'
ADVICE 20 Use arms ana carter counter
suggestion to attain her object by peace
full means, and says she informed Spreckles
that she thought Mr.. Cleveland would look
upon the arbitration plan with much more
favor. In this paper she charges that one
of her commissioners to Washington, Sam
uel Parker, eRdeavored to sell the secret
Of his mission to w. G. Irwin.
1T is the general impression here that
Rudolph SpreckelS did not purchase the
arms for the revoutionists himself, hut
merely advanced the funds required on
the ex-queen's account and that somebody
else made the purchase"
The Examiners correspondent at Homo
lulu claims that it has been learned def
nitely that some of the leaders of the re-
bellien have been sentenced to death.
VIII Have u PncifyinS Eject.
LONDON, February TN an interview
with Mr.. A. Hoffnung, who was the Ha-
waiian charge d'affaires here under ex-
Queen Liliuckalan, he is quoted as saying
that the abdication of the queen could only
have a pacifying effect upon Hawaiian
politics, as doubtless the republic would
make terms with her in regard to her future
and the position of Princess kaiulani, the
young lady who considered herself the
heress to the throne of Hawaii. The prin-
is now in England.
Mr. Hoffnung added: "Of course it was
we'll understood that the republic of Hawaii
was always prepared to deal literally with
the queen provided she renowned her right
to the throne, and, doubtless, numbers Of
royalists will now become republicans
