however. says fbe VIII undoubtedly he
notified after lie message has been placed
in President crcspo's hands. He ex-
pressed surprise fast night at the report
that England sito1ld present such a claim.
and stated that II could not be- called an
'uitimatum," as q was an original de-
mand. aud there would be much CORE
spondence and Investigation before ii could
reach that status.
Diplomatic relations between Great Brit
ain and Venczuela. he stated, have been
suspended for some time. and for that
reason the German minister acts as the
representative of The British government
At Caracas. He added that the sentiment
of the Venezuelan n people was against yield
ing to the British in the present dispute,
and they would be very likely to object
to pa ying an indemnity.
The legation here has not been in re-
ceipt OF news as to the progress of the
revolution in the republic since the 1st
instant. but the minister says he does not
attach any Importance to il. as press dis
patches announce that the fighting S row

LANES CREEK CANAL.

In the report of The District Commissioners
not word is said about the James Greek
Canal and the necessity for putting it
in such condition that ii Will cease to be a
death trap to unwary pedestrians and a
source of disease to the people living
in its vicinity. In the absence of any men,
ton, it is altogether probable that the
themselves compelled to present their
case to Congress directly, and they can
bring such arguments to bear as should
procure for them the relief they are seek
ing.
James Creek Canal is q foul, ili-smell-
ing open sewer, into which two sewers
empty their contents. There is no flow
of water in 1t swift or strong enough
to carry the stuff that is poured into it
quickly to point where it would lie taken
up by an outgoing tide and carried out
ward and onward. On the contrary, il is
sluggish, and about the time that the
burden it carries gets TO its mouth, there
is an incoming tide which sends il back
and makes it more foul and more disease
breeding than before.
Its record as death trap is horrible.
There is no telling how many poor wretches
have had their lives ended in its Shiny
depths. Every year il demands its victims.
Ii serves no good purpose in any respect
All its qualities are evil, and the sooner
it is hidden from view and made to SUBJ
serve useful ends the better. If it were
arched over it would be a good sewer,
provided All ample supply OF swiftly flow
ing water could be forced through 1t.
AT any rate, it would no longer be a disease
breeder, and that much of relief the people
of South Washington certainly have a right
to ask from Cong ress.

CARNIvAL's SECOND WEEK.
Program for Tonight OF Columbis
Athletic Clubs Great Festival.

The second week OF the Columbia Athletic
Clubs great carnival will be inaugurated
tonight, when the Washington Lodge, b.
p. o. Elks, will be the guests of the evening.
1t is to be regretted that the Washing
ton Saengerbund will not be present, as
their attendance would add much tn the
occasion, but they had made other arrange
ments for tonight before receiving the
invitation of the club and viii postpone
their visit until later in the week.
Ar, especially fine program has been pro-
vided for the evenings entertainment, in
Guiding a three-round sparriuS bout between
unknowns; a jockey dance by Miss Kirby,
a fourteen-year-old ynung lady who has
made quite reputation in local dancing
circles with her dainty steps; an exhibition
of fancy bicycle riding by some of the
most prominent riders in the city; and
last, but not least, the Madrid Mandolin
Club will appear in fancy Spanish costume
and render selections from all the popular
airs of the day.
The art reproductions-they must not be
forgotten. Miss Bessie Cook Will pose as
"Nydia, the Blind Girl after Borden
hauser's famous picture, and Paul Thu
mans "Fates'' viii be reproduced by Mrs
Hempstonc, Miss Knowlton and Miss Faun-
tleroy. OF course the Marine Band will be
on hand, and altogether a very pleasant

5INGos7 s7AMoNG THE SCIENTISTS.

JiRgoiStS are not 10 be looked for ex-
clusiycly among The politicians. There are
others; for instance, the scientists. Or
dinariiy one would not expect 10 find war
like dispositions among these gentlemen,
but even they are a Bile 10 work themselves
up to a pitch of belligerency which is posi-
lively alarming. And just about this
time. when several usually quite harmless
persons are going around with an assort-
ment of chips on their shoulders asking
Great Britain TO knock them off, while the
Chief Magistrate OF these United States
is trying very hard to scare the British
lion into conniption fits. there comes an
iratc professor, ycIept Baker, and declares
that The only way TO settle the bou ndary
line between Alaska and British territory
is to declare war forthwith and fight the
"blarsted Britishers'' tooth and nail.
When William Il Seward paid Russia
seven aud a half million dollars for Alaska
and obtained what be supposed 10 be n
clear title in that real estate transaction,
he never dreamed that thirty years later
a learned professor would go about this
blessed country and make proclamation
to the people that they must get up and
fight for the possession of those icebergs.
OF course, the amiable professor is all
by himself in this particular adjuration
of Bellopa, but he is a type OF a class
to whom Jingoism is second nature They
themselves don't want to fight, but, like
Artemus Ward. they are willing 10 sac
ririce all their wives relations for The
cause they advocate.
Professor Baker is in the employ OF the
Coast and Geodetic Survey. Perhaps
the recommendation Of Secretary Herbert
that the bureau might profitably be trans
ferred to the Treasury Department, has SO
worked upon the professors innate bel
ligerency as to give rise to the suggestion
that The United States should 60 to war

City Streets EIrsI.

Editor Times: l wish to strongly in
dorse the article headed Improve City
Streets First," by Mr. Thomas W. Gilmer,
which appeared in The Morning Times of
December Z. 1t is a valuable and sensible
article, as any taX-paying citizen would
adnnt where he not connected with some
OF the many cunning speculating real
estate concerns.
There are only too numerous examples
of unimproved streets and alleys within
the city limits upon which our money should
be spent frs before seeking remote
places in the suburbs. Right in the heart or
the city, on Twelfth street, between NJ and
n, is an alley which is in exactly the same
condition as when the city was first laid
out-rothing but an unsighuy mass OF mud,
which overflows on the pavement, where
its exits are. The owners of lots along
this alley have protested again and again
for many years, and have signified their
desire to pay their part for The improve
ment OF this blot, but to no avail. 1t may
be paved after the suburbs are all in order

The saengerbund gave its initial concert
of the season of 1s9o-86. last night at the

was spiendidly interpreted.
An orchestra of fifty pieces, under the
leadership OF Mr.. william Waldecker, Miss

The opening selection was Franz Scha-

was well rendered by the orchestra.
The Saengerbund, accompanied by the
piano and brass instruments, sang Goi-

OF Spring"
Miss Alice Burbage played Bartholdy's
first piano concert III u minor. opus 70.
The composition is a long and difficult
one. which require extraordinary tempo
and pedalIing effects. but Miss Burbage ac-
quilted herself with half of the honors
OF the evening, by her superb performance.
She was presented WITH two handsome
bouquets OF yariegated chrysanthemums.
Mrs. Hattie Meads-Smith shared the honors
with Miss BurDage. Size sang the aria lroIu

such ease and grace that she was obliged
TO respond to an encore. She exhibited her

THE PUBLIC VERDICT.

The result of The Times ballot on the
S7,5oO,0O0 bond issue should convince.
Congress that taxpayers generally are cp-
posed to that method of increasing the
public debt. The vote was fair and well
represented, considering the conditions I'M
der which it was polled. And as the real
estate ring exerted more than an ordinary
effort to count the result in favor of the
bond bill by urging all friends OF the
question to cast their votes in its favor
the victory for those opposed to it VIII
seem more gratifying.
Probably the most active advocates OF
the bond bill are the real estate specu-
lators in Congress They have been in
dustriously circulating the report among
their colleagues that everybody in the city
except a few worlingmen were in favor of
its passage. Their main object is to con-
ceal the fact that they are pecuniarily in
terested, and through the efforts of their
lobbyists are endeavoring to spread the
false Information that the improvements TO
be made with the money, should the bonds
be issued. will beautify Washington and
make IT a national pride. In their zeal
they claim the issue is necessary because
this city is destined to become one of the
first In the country. but they neglect TO
state in this connection that there is room
enough within its present limits to accomo-
date its growth in population for the next
twenty years.
For that reason # is shameful for a ring
OF speculators to demand that Washington
property owners shall be taxed over four
million dollars to improve real estate out
side the city. That same questionable policy
of burdeuing the public to enrich specu-
lators has given Washington the reputa-
ton of being the most extravagant city in
the country. The cost of living here com
pared to Baltimore, Detroit, Cleveland or
any other city except New York or Chi
cago is exorbitaut to say the least, and
this high cost Of living is undoubtedly
one of the causes why mills and factories
cannot be induced to locate in Washington.
If this city is TO be made business center
as well as winter resort and the seat Of
government a way must be found to re-
duce the cost of living SO that common people
can afford to make it their residence. The
masses, people who labor with their hands,
are the builders Of large populations and

corner nf Fourteenth and l. streets north
west. 1t was the last sermon by Rev. Dr.
Jones before leaving for his home in Louis
vile. Ky, and was listened to by an IN
usually large congregation.
Rev. Dr. Jcnes t'ok lis text from Romans
ix:20-" Shall the thing formed say tn Him
that formed il, why didst Thou make me
thus?" There is to,, much complaint now
adays, he said of 80 why am made thus ur
So He likened the yariIls differences
in the formation OF men TO the scriptural
teachings OF the pntter's right or power
in the moulding uf his clay, who from the
same hump makes two vessels. one unto
honur and the other unto dishono-.
He then related his experiences with an
acaoStir at his hume in Louisville. The
agnostic asked If he might crnne 10 church
and hear DR.. Jcnes preach. OF course the
request was granted and in less than a year
the once agnuStic was u SunCay-school
teacher in the church.
As general thing. DR.. Jones said people
were proven tn be fault-findtng and were
in the habit OF criticising tno freely, es-
peciaily those things which they did nut
fully nderstand- Even when he was
about starting for this city a friend of his
said to him: " DON'T 70 10 Washington, it
is very wicked place" On this point his
experience, he said. compelled him IL differ
with his friend. for he had nut found the
awful wickedness 81 id TO exist here.
There are thousands whu are willing and
anxious ia spend their time telling you
exactly how the world should have been

But accompanying them should be hung in
