REMOVAL OF ASHES,

DR.. Woodward has made many excellent
suggestions and Instituted many admirable
reforms relating TO the sanitation of the
city, but none deserves more cordial in
dorsement than his proposition that the
removal of ashes from residences should be
carried on, like the removal of garbage,
by the health authorities, and not left to
hediscretion of the respective householders.
AT present ashes are taken away rs the con-
venience or judgment or greater or less
economical habit of the housekeeper die
tates, and cases are not infrequent where
they have been allowed to accumulate in
back yards for an entire winter.
1t is obvious that such a condition OF
things must be Objectionable, for, as DR..
Woodward remarks, while clean ashes
may not constitute nuisance Injurious
to health, there is generally associated
with their deposit in this way the accumula-
ton of refuse matter which, to say the
least, is uncieanly, ana for that, IL no more
weighty, reason should be differently dis

Mr.. de Windt, who 10 about to visit this
country on Il lecturing tour, previous to ex-
ploring the unknown regions of Alaska and
crossing on the ice from the northermnost
point of that Territory TO the continent OF
Asia, Is, in spite of his foreign namS an

eign, for he is the brother of Lady Brooke,
whose husband is the independent ruler or
rajah of Sarawak, which occupies the
greater portion of the big island of Borneo.
Sur Charles Brooke is the son uf an
English parson. was educated in England,
served for time as midshipman n in the Eng
lish navy, and was then called upon by his
childless uncle. the first rajah OF Sarawak,
to succeed him on the throne. The story
of how the uncle became rajah reads like
q fairy tale and is too long TO be related
here. But Sir Charles, the present rajah,
who owes his title of "Sir" to the grand
cross of the British order of St Michael and
st. George may pride himself on being the
only Englishman who has obtained recog-
nition from the British government as an
independent sovereign.

A GOVERNMENT SOLON.

In reply to a letter of inquiry concerning
the organization of a military company
i'll the United States for service in Cuba.
Attorney General Harmon not only answers
that 1t would be a direct violation of the
neutrality laws, but he also volunteers a
little advice that will not cntitle him to
public thanks.
He says: while there is no law to pre-
vent American citizens from spea king
their sentiments on any subject, singiy or
together, taking such action as you mem
ton in your letter would, in my Judgment,
be discourteOus in the highest degree To
friendly power and tend to embarrass and
obstruct the Government in carrying out
its determination TO faithfully execute the
laws and fulfill its treaty obligations"
The Attorney General should remember
that Spain was not so careful OF our feelings
at the time of the rebellion when she recog-
nized the Confederates as belligerents, al
most before the echoes of the first battle
had died away. There was then no sham
loyalty to treaty obligations, nor mock
sympathy for the troubles of a friendly
power. 1ne action OF SPAN at tnat tifile
caused the United States thousands of lives
and millions of treasure in the years bywhich
ii prolonged the war, and the argument that
we must now close our mouths and smother
our synlpathies for n band of patriots to
please Spain is rubbing in the loyalty-to-
treaty-obligations a little too deep for COM
mon comfort.
With all due respect TO Attorney General
Harmon the public would like to know by
what authority he sets himself up as a
government solon. His advice should be
confined TO legal questions, and not made
SO general, especially W hen unsolicited If
he is anxious TO go on record as the ad
ministration mouthpieoe, let him publish
a reason why trusts are not Prosecuted, and
whether or not the antitrust law is still
in force. This information would be in
teresting and would furnish a cause for
realizing that We really have an Attorney
General.

His Reputation Is that of a Diplomat
of WONDERFUL Tact. and He Has
Had Remarkable Experiences

No more fortunate selection could have
been made OF a successor to Sir Edward
Malet at Berlin than Sir Frank Ldsc"lles.
In fact, his appointment may be described
as an ideal one, He has none OF that Intense
nervousness and restiessness which sir
Edward kept under control only with the
utmost effort and difficulty and which
somehow OF other seemed to communicate
itself unconsciously To those who were
brought into contact with him.
HE'S a CONSIDERABLY taller man and bigger
In every way, of what may be described
| as the ieopine type. He gives one the im-
preston of repose, and likewise Inspires
one with tbat feeling, which IL is 10 he

Figures That Lie-How the Star Mis-

Saturdays Star announced that its
circulation was many thousands in excess
ofauy other rWashingtonp npaperandisbe believed

contemporary" This Justification is easy
to expose.
The daily average circulation of The
Times for the six days on which the Star
bases its calculation was 80, 1867; that
of the Star was 2S $50. For the sake OF
the argument, let US admit that the Star
has five times the circulation of our even-
ing edition. One-fifth the circulation of
the Star is 8 1867. Subtract that amount
from 81, 36T, the average of The Times,
and 27 ,637 is left 10 represent the cir
culation OF our morning edition. Com
pare that amount with the 2S,650 which
the Star falsely claims, is many thou

paper" and you will see that its figures lie
The aggregate circulation OF the Starlast
weak was III ,9O1. That of. The Times
was 223,776. The Star gained 1.424
in circulation during the week and The
Times added T,751 to its list.
7 hese figures should be satisfactory
proof as to which is the most popular news
paper, and should also demonstrate to
advertisers where they can obtain best
results.

JOHN BULLS Walls OF WRATH.

The much talked of developments which
were to throw new light on the interna tional
yacht race have been published in England,
and instead of being a reasonable explana-
ton of the valkyrie's failure to meet ex-
pectations they are nothing more than a sec
ond edition OF the Sackville TRADE against
America, so far as noDsensical tw addle and
unnecessary abuse are concerned. Such a
casting up of the British bile will never at
tract sympathy nor increase respect for
English craftsmanship. The valkyrie was
the poorer boat and her owner failed to COM
plete the series of races because his heart
was too weak to stand the beating, and no
amount of vituperation will ever cause the
public TO look at his withdraw wal from the
race in any other way.
EnglaDd's boasted supremacy is gradually
being narrowed down to an exceptionally
well developed ability to scold, and an
inordinate desire Fto bulldoze inferior ras
tions. Her hold upon the markets has been
lessened to a great extent by the enterprise
and energy of the United States and Ger
many, and as manufacturing nation she
has dropped from first place. In finance
herstrcnght israpidly wasting. and ten years
hence America will be headquarters for most
of her principal money lenders. AS time
elapscs those of her provinces that are pros
porous will establish governments of their
own and Englishmen San then sit in their
tight little island and boast of former glory
Darbanc the mental pfcture of fb;S in
evitable future has soured the English
mind and made it cranky and touchy, as the
great future of this country looms up in COM

Sir Frank was secretary of legation at
Washington during the days of Sir Ed
ward Thornton. Since then his career
has been both brilliant and rapid. lie is
the most attractive man OF the diplosnatic
service, in that he makes friends wherever
he goes. among both men and women, even
his diplomatic rivals being unable 20 resist
the singular charm OF his open, hearty and
genial manner. Yet, with all that. he Is
very discreet, quick TO take action, very
decided in so doing. and utterly fearless as
to the consequences.
IL was he who notified Khediye isniail
of his deposition in 1879, and sbn, by
his tact and diplomacy, accomplished the
whole affair without any disturbance or
bloodshed; and. again, be was at Sofia

banded off into Russia, and only permitted
to return to sign his application Since

and st. Petersburg, where he won golden
opinions, although he was called ppm TO
succeed, at a uIIucuit moment, tie iate
Sir Robert Morier, particular iaforite
OF Alexander III. and of the Russian court.
Sir Frank is one of the best mimics off
the stage, and it is curious that he should
succeed at Berlin man as celebrated as is
Sir Edward Malet for his amateur acting.
He is married to the daughter of Sir Joseph
Oliffe, who, under the name of Doctor
Jenkins" was ridiculed in Alphonse Dau-
det's novel, 1.-The Nabob."
Dauville owes its creation to the joint
enterprise of those two bosom friends, the
late Duke de Morny and the late Sir Joseph
Olifre, the latter being the English physician
of Napoleon ILL.,, who induced Queen Vic
toria to confer upon him knighthood.

With regard to Sir Edward Malet's re-
fusal of a peerage the newspapers seem to
be under a nisapprehension as to the true
reason of hts having declined this honor.
In the first pface he has no children to whom
it could descend; secondly, he is not on par
ticularly affettionate terms with the MEM
bers of his own family, and lastly, he be-
longs to house so ancient and possessed
OF so much prestige that mushroom title
would merely serve to impair its dignity.
The MaIfts came over with William the
Conqueror,' and, almost alone among the
English county families, can trace their
descent in an nnbroken line to n person prior
to the days of Edward the Confessor. Sir
Edward would therefore gain nothing in
the way OF prfstige by becoming peer.
and it is difficult to conceive any reason
that could, possibly have induced him to
accept one.
The morning times., 1895-10-12

Refusals of peerages are far more common
in England than most people would be will
ing to believe. The Queen has repeatedly
offered Mr.. Gladstone an earldom, and on
two separate occasions offers of peerage
were declined by MFR. Walter, the proprie
tor of the Times grandfather of the present
publisher thereof. Moreover. it was only
about three years ago that Lord Leigh
(whose eldest son and heir married Miss
Beckwith, of New York, now prosecuting
her brothers in New York for misappropria-
ton of her share in the parental estate) re-
fused the Queens offer of promotion toan
earldom, declaring that he preferred to be
among the first OF the barons rather than
at the very tail end of the earls.
Indeed, so many have been the refusals
of peerages by people who possessed the an
cestry and blueness of blood calculated to
fit them for seat iIstbe upper chamber
that it looks very much as IL the comforting
of peerages would henccforth be confined
