There was a destructive fire in the house
Of DR.. Edmund X. Goldsborough, No. 1881
K street, about $50 o'clock last night, and
1t was only the remarkably good time made
by the fire department that prevented the
flames from spreading from the parlor to
other parts Of the house. The flames
started in the front bay window. first con-
Stunning the lace curtains, and then other
drapery caught fire and was destroyed. So
intense was the heat that q large mirror in
the room was cracked and valuable new
piano destroyed.
Fitzhugh Goldsborough. the doctors
young son, rushed from the house to have
an alarm turned in. He met Policeman
John Garraway near the Cochran Hotel,
and the officers call brought out several
fire companies.
The firemen cached the house before the
flames had burned their way from the par
lor. and. without flooding the house, the
firemen succeeded In extinguishing the fire
The handsome wall decorations and costly
rugs were destroyed. Besides these, many
interesting works of art were destroyed
The loss is estimated at about $4,000
and is only partially insured. The fire was
caused by the lace curtains coming in con-

THE INDIAN COMMISSION.
Its Organization Expected to he Con
plcted Within a Short Time.

Its Organization Expected to BE Com
plcted Within a Short Time.
The organization Of the commission ap-
pointed to negotiate with the five civilized
tribes will be completed within short
period. The number of members was in
creased to five at the last session of Con-
Tess, but the two additional commission
ers have not yet been named by the Presi-
dent. 1t is believed. however, that the
commission, es finally organized. will be
as follows: Ex-senator Henry L. Dawes,
Massachusetts, chairman; Archibald S.
McKennon, Arkansas discussing agent;
Major Meredith H. Kidd, Indiana; Gen.
Frank C. Armstrong, District of Columbia,
end either ex-Representative A. B. Mont
&c merry of Kentucky or ex-senator Mat
thew c. Butler of South Carolina. Gen.
Armstrong was President Clevelands first
appointee Of Indian affairs, but resigned
recently to accept private offer. He has
since remained in Washington, and it is
current gossip among officials that he will
fill one of the vacancies. There are a num-
Ter of applicants for the offices, and both
ex-Representative A. B. Montgomery Of
Kentucky and ex-senator NJ C. Butler Of
South Carolina are in the field. The first
three were appointed in November, 1898,
ard commenced the negotiations early last
year, their work meeting, however, with
cor siderable opposition among many of
the Indians. The offices pay 5000 a year.
The work Of the commission will not be
resumed till the full organization Is eff
fected.

A case which has Just been docketed in
the United States Supreme Court will prob
ably test the length to which newspaper
can go in the use Of Objectionable Ian
guage and still find access to the mails.
The case is that of the United States
against Dan. K. Swearingen. and comes
to the Supreme Court on allegations Of er-
ror in the United States circuit court of
Kansas, which found Swearingen, who was
the editor of paper published at Burling-
ton, Kan, guilty of the improper use Of
the mails. The offense consisted in the
publication of an article abusing an en-
ploye of a rival paper, in which language
was used which the postal authorities pro-
hounced obscene.

Navy Yard News.

workmen are busily engaged in convert
ing the large blacksmith shop of the yard
into an addition to the gun carriage shop.
The roof of the old building has been re-
moved, new iron girders put in place. and
an immense crane is being manufactured
for the new department.
The trial Of the Sellers system of gun
jacketing, which took place last week, did
Lot result satisfactorily. The workmen
tested the new system by trying to put in
place a Jacket which had stuck in a former
operation. The efforts were without avail,
the new system failing to perform the
work properly.
The tug Triton yesterday conveyed to
Ii dian Head one ten-inch and two four
iEch guns for trial.
The mounting on a carriage of the thir-
teen-inch gun is engaging the attention Ct
v-orkmen during the present week, but 1t
is expected to have the gun ready for ship
ment to Indian Head shortly.

Took Provisions.

Joseph Schladt. the hotel keeper on SD
street, has been robbed Of so many provt-
sions from his kitchen and pantry during
the last few months that he found it neces-
sary to put locks on his gates to keep out
dishonest persons. But he did not put q
lock on the alley window, and it was
through this opening that basket of eatr
ables, Including meat, chicken, -four. lard
and a can Of oysters, were taken last right.
Policeman Sullivan, who had been watch
ing the place. arrested Charles Houck,
colored man, whom he found with the
articles. This young man had lived in
Alexandria, where he knew Mrs. Annie
Weaver, who Is now in Mr.. Schladt's en-
ploy as cook. and the officer also arrested
the Geek on suspicion. This morning the
woman and man were tried in the Police
Court. Houck claimed that he found the
basket of provisions, and said that Mrs.
Weaver knew nothing of his conduct. As
there was TO evidence against the woman
she was acquitted, and Houck was given
sixty days in Jail.

Street improvements Wanted.


To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The writer observed that an alley between
9TH and 10th streets northwest, near S. 10
being paved substantially. The fact that
there are houses on but one side Of the
alley. while the street in front of these
houses Is curbed and has a concerted road
way. and every facility is provided for get
ting to and from these houses. while some
of us have no such improvements, calls
forth this inquiry. 1 would like to see
every alley In the city well paved, but be-
lfeve that the streets that have never had
any attention whatever should receive some
consideration in advance of alleys that are
used only in part, and not even fenced in.
as in the case cited.
The writer hereof has paid taxes for six
teen years for somebody's benefit on
piece Of property fronting on a street. on
which finch water main and an S-inch
sewer was laid twenty years ago by Mr.. A.
L. Barber, to accommodate two or three
houses without expense to the city, There
are now nineteen houses connected with
those two pipes, every lot on both sides OF
the streets, with one exception. being built
upon. Is 1t any wonder that the water
supply is poor, and that cellars are often
flooded? In winter neither the baker,
grocer, milkman or doctor. let alone the
coal man, can come near the houses They
must leave their conveyances on another
street and get there the best they can, the
street being impossible most of the time.
We think we are fortunate If dealer will
take chances on getting half ton OF coal
to us. In the face of the above the last
board of assessors multiplied the previous
assessment by three, thus increasing the
tax 200 per cent on a lot in front of which
the city had never spent single penny.
To cross the street to a neishbor's our
children must walk two squares to keep out
of the mud, and when 1t rains the sidewalk
is covered with water. there being no way
for it to escape, except up hill. With the
above facts staring us in the face. the
question is, Why is 1t?
