WILL NOT TALK POLITICS..
Judge Springer Now Declines to Ex-
press Views on Public Questions.

Judge Springer Now Declines to Ex-
press Views on Public Questions.
Ex-Representative Springer, late appoint
ed judge of a federal court in Indian terri
tory, will not assume the duties of his new
post before next September. Until that
time Judge Stuart, now in Washington to
straighten out difficulties caused by the
law of March l, 1885, relating to the judi
cial service in the Indian territory, will
look after the work that will later be as
sumed by Mr.. Springer.
Mr.. Springer, during his long term in
Congress. was one of the most widely
quoted men in the House. On every qucs-
ton that came up for consideration he had
views and expressed them freely. But the
change from a congressional to a judicial
career has effected a corresponding change
in Mr.. Springer's view Of affairs. When
asked by a Star reporter today if he would
express his views on the action of the
Memphis silver convention, Mr.. Springer
slowly shook his head and replied:
Now 1 only take judicial view of all
such matters. 1 do not care to express any
idea regarding politics."

P FACE IN FOR M o S A
The Japanese Legation Receives Official
Notification of It.
The Japanese Army and Civil Au-
thOrities Are Fully Protecting
the People of the Island.

The Japanese legation today received an
official dispatch from the foreign office
summarizing the status of affairs on the
Island of Formosa. as follows: AT Tai
Phu Flu and Tam Sui, the two large cities
in the north, all disorder is at an end and
peace established. The Japanese have put
into operation civil system of administra-
ton. German marines were landed at the
cities mentioned, but have now been with
drawn. The foreign settlers are now under
the entire protectior of the Japanese army
and civil authorities''
The favorable tone of the cablegram is
quite satisfactory tc the officials here. II
gives the first information of the landing OF
German marines.
The cause of their landing is not given
but their withdrawal indicates that the
protection they may have afforded to Ger
man interests is no longer necessary. The
mention of the establishment of a civil
system shows that martial law. which was
In operation when the Japanese fleet and
army first arrived, has given place quickly
to an orderly municipal system. No men,
ton is made of the reported uprising of the
Black Flags. An earlier dispatch to the
foreign office stated that the japanese took
possession of the places mentioned on June
Z, since which time there has been no signs
of the Chinese soldiers who caused the
trouble nor of the natives who had sought
to set up republic.

GOING TO CARLSBAD.
Senator Smith VIII Recuperate From,
Tariff Fight Effects.

Senator Smith of New Jersey is expected
in Washington next week. when he will
remain a few days before sailing on the
steamer ST. Louis for Southampton. Mr..
Smith will go to Carlsbad to take the wa
ters there in order to recuperate from the
effects of his active participation In tariff
legislation in the last Congress. 1t was
Mr.. Smith who informed the House of
Representatives on the floor of the Senate
that if they did not Ike the revision of the
original tariff bill by the Senate they could
leave it alone. For himself he would not
bulge an inch in order to bring about a
concurrence of views between the two
houses. While Mr.. Smith maintained a re-
markable equanimity during the tariff dis
cussion it appears that that stormy de-
bate had an effect on his physical condf-
ton, and he may spend some months at
Carlsbad in order that he may return to
the scene of the conflict ready to take an
active part in whatever question comes
before the Senate.

Serious Damage to the Interior Of

THE SUP POSED ORIGIN

Pennsylvania avenue was enlivened this
morning by fire, which at one time
threatened to assume serious proportions
and, even as it was, did very considerable
damage. The scene of the fire was the
Owen House. 1413 Pennsylvania avenue.
Before the fire was finally subdued the in
side of the hotel was badly burned and
even more damage was caused by the wa
ter, as it was necessary to fairly flood
the house before the stubborn flames would
give in.
During the excitement several people
were driven from their rooms to the front
of the house, and, with their heads stick
ing out of the third story windows, called
loudly for help. 1t was necessary to take
four of them down the ladders, as the
stairways We're completely blocked by the
flames and smoke.
For time it looked as though some of
those who were penned in the upstairs
rooms might be hurt, but they behaved

Water Street Difficulty to BE Left to
the Courts.
AS intimated in The Star Of yesterday,
the Commissioners today gracefully with
drew from their position with reference
to the clearing of Water street. 1t will
be recalled that the order issued by the
board, directing the removal of obstruc-
tions to this street, was issued so that suf-
ficient room could be provided on the west
of the railroad tracks to permit carriages
to pass. Ten days We're given in which
to comply with the order. Pending it's en-
forcement the attorneys representing the
property owners interested appeared before
the Commissioners and urged a stay of
proceedings pending the trial of a similar
case in the Supreme Court some time in
October next.
Their request was embodied in a letter,
which, upon motion Of Commissioner Ross,
was handed to the attorney for the District
for an opinion. As stated exclusively in
yesterdays Star, Attorney Thomas ad-
vised the Commissioners TO vacate their
order.
After consultation with the attorney this
morning the Commissioners approved the
opinion and the order has been vacated.

CAN USE THEIR DISCRETION.
Controller HHwIer's Reply to an In
quiry as to Florida Avenue.

Judge Bowler, controller of the treasury,
has written a letter TO the District Com
missioners in regard to the provision in
the District of Columbia appropriation act
of March 3 1895, appropriating $4,000 for
paving Florida avenue from Connecticut
avenue to 18th street. The Commissioners
stated that an estimate of Sl2,050 was sub
mitted to Congress for this work, but that
only $4,000 was appropriated, being about
half the amount necessary to do the whole
work. They asked whether they might
pave one-half of the width of the roadway
and pay the cost thereof from said appro-
priation. Controller Bowler informed them
that the object of the appropriation was
evidently to pave Florida avenue between
the two points named, and, as no limitation
has been placed upon the use of that ap-
preparation, it is clearly within your dis
Cretion to use the same within the points
indicated in such manner as you may deem
best for the public service

WORKED UNTIL a O'CLOCK
ALI the Clerks We're Required to Do That
Today.
Much Dissatisfaction With the New
Order One Clerk Expresses His
Views With Much Freedom.

All the executive departments were kept
open until o'clock today in accordance
with the recent decision of the cabinet that
there is no authority of law to excuse the
clerks at o'clock as has been the invari-
able custom during the heated term There
is naturally much dissatisfaction with the
new order of things and the general opin-
ion among the clerks is that the powers
that be have strained a point against the
clerks. The statute upon which the present
decision Is based has been in force for over
two years, and has never before been sup
posed to prohibit the excuse of employees
at o'clock on Saturdays. So far as known
the government interests have not suffered
from this apparent violation of the, law
and never before has one even thought it
necessary to call attention to it.
One Clerks Views.
A Treasury clerk, somewhat bolder than
his associates, told a Star reporter that
the new order Disseminated unfairly
against the subordinates in the service.
'"The Star of last Saturday" ne said,
gave Secretary Morton the entire credit
for the discovery of the unwelcome statute.
l cannot see where he is entitled to any
special credit for having made such an i'm
portant discovery. If the law applies to
clerks and other employees l should think
that it embraced cabinet officers, bureau
officers and other higher officers. They go
and come when they please; go off and
make political speeches deliver addresses
at the different colleges and go to their
different states to attend to their private
law cases instead of attending to their
public duties in Washington. Why should
they be allowed all these privileges if the
law is so very strict? Some of these high
officials have been away from their duties
one-fourth of the time and still draw their
big salaries without any compunctions of
conscience"

Quired elsewhere, like the Montgomery at
