A Piece of the World.

In "a speech delivered recently to the shareholders of the British South Africa company Cecil Rhodes spoke of the very large piece of the world" possessed by the company, measuring l, 200 by 800 miles. A few years ago this piece of the world was almost unknown and entirely barbarous. Now it has a railway, 1, 400 miles of telegraphs, magis. trates' courts from end to end and a press. The territory of tho South Africa company is managed like an estate, but it looks uncommonly like an empire,

A SENATE PROA. >TION.
1t Was in the Line of Civil Service
Reform.

Mr. James S. Crystal, a clerk in the Sem
ate post office at s1,s0O. was today pro-
NOTED to be assistant postmaster OF the
Senate at S2,0SS year, vice Mr.. Fell. whose
resignation was accepted yesterday. This
promotion Is in the nature of a surprise to
the politicians around the Senate, as MIR.
Crystal is a republican, having been ap-
pointed to a clerkship from Iowa many
years ago The understanding was that
Senator Smith of New Jersey. who was MIR.
Feli's political sponsor, would be given the
nomination of his successor, and at all
events it was understood that a democrat
would be appointed.
The promotion of Mr.. Crystal, therefore,
is a great shock to the opponents of civil
service reform, which ia evidently at the
bottom of this latest designation. MI.
CRYSTAL knows the business OF the post
Office thoroughly, and 1t is understood that
he was selected for promotion by the SER
gcant-at-armS because of his fitness for the
position. 1t is the desire OF the officials or
the Senate to reform the methods in vogue
at the post office. which have of late been
very severely criticised.
The statement is made this afternoon
that the Senator whose turn it was 10 ap-
point to such a vacancy as this. failed to
designate q suitable person for the position.
The business of the post Office was press
ing and the work had to be done at once.
1t was not possible to wait longer for the
selection of the assistant postmaster, and
Mr.. Crystal was chosen because Of his in
innate knowledge of the situation and be-
cause of his ability to take hold Of the
work without any delay.

The New Bureau Organized by As
aOcinted Press Pancra

The New Bureau Organized by As
socinted Press Papers.
NEW YORK, January 1.-THE Associated
Press papers of New York city and Brook
lyn, at meeting held last Tuesday, decided
to organize bureau to collect the general
local news intelligence Of the two cities,
which work has heretofore been done by
private local agencies. Commodious work.
ing quarters have been secured in the West
ern Union building, corner Of Broadway
and Ley street, and a working force of
local newspaper writer's has been organized.
The facilities provided for collecting the
news and for distributing it to the various
newspaper offices are in advance of those
heretofore enjoyed by any local news bu-
reau in New York city. Direct tube con-
nection is provided to the newspaper offices,
as well direct telegraph connection for
the instantaneous reporting of any inn
portant local occurrence
The basis of the new bureau is similar to
that of the Associated Press, the manage
ment being vested in the newspapers, and
the service mutual in it's character, in all
respects. The new service begins on next
Monday. The papers joining in the service
are the Morning Advertiser, the Press, the
World, the Stats Zeitung, the Brooklyn
Eagle, the Commercial Advertiser, the
Evening Post, the Evening World and the
afternoon edition of the Stats Zeitung.
The service is in addition to the regular
local service maintained by all the news
papers named.

SECRETLY SEEKING FOR PLACE.
Mcssrs. Bynum and Springer Have
Picked Out Good Offices.

flckeu Out UOOu OIuCcSs
Very quietly many of the statesmen out
of job in consequence Of the late election
are making earnest efforts to get place
at the administration frCe-lunch counter
after the 4th of March. 1t Is understood
that Mr. Bynum of Indiana Is endeavoring
to secure an appoin tment on the board of
appraisers. The salary of $1,000 year is
tempting to him, and it is said that he will
probably succeed in getting it. His hunt
for the place, however, is being conducted
with great secrecy, as it is probable that
knowledge of his intentions would excite
some antagonism in Indiana. 1t will be re-
membered that after his defeat for Con-
gress Mr.. Bynum caused a sensation by
den nouncing office seekers, and stating that
he had been offered a bribe Of $1,000 to as
sist one of the candidates to appointment
to a federal office in Indiana.
1t is said that Mr.. Springer of Illinois is
seeking a seat on the bench of the court of
claims. His appointment to this position
might or might not be regarded as a re-
ward for his fruitless efforts to get finan-
cial bill through the House. There Is at
present no vacancy on the court of claims
bench, but it is understood that one of the
oldest judges is willing TO retire and give
Mr.. Cleveland an opportunity to make an
appointment.

THE DOCkERY COMMISSION.
Little Chance OF Carrying Out 1t
Plan ut Thix Session.

Representative Dock cry, the moving
factor OF the Dockery &C mmssion, says he
does not think there will be sufficient time
at the present session to carry out the plan
contemplated by the commission for re-
organization of the system of surveying
public lands. The rldn before the commits
sion was to consolidate three bureaus
which are now practically duplicating the
work of each other. These are the geo.
logical survey, the coast and geodetic sur
vey and the surveying branch of the gen.
eral land office.
1t had been hoped to merge these into
one bureau, probably the geological sur
vey, under one head. to be known as sur
veyor general. After thus simplifying the
organization, the purpose was to reform
the system itself. At present the surveys
of public lands are let by contract, but
he change contemplated doing away with
the entire work to the consolidated bureau.
Another change was in the simplfication of
the system in local land offices, doing
away with some of the officials and plac-,
ing their duties Ia the hands of the regis
ter of the office.
The House committee on appropriations
Is also considering a plan of reforming
the survey system. 1t is not as compre-
hensive reform as the Dockery commits
sion has considered, but is an application
of the plan to the work of the land office.
The need of the change was recommended
by Secretary of the Interior Smith and
commissioner of the land office in their
annual reports

BUILDING THE TUNNEL.
The Months Work on the Washing
ton AGueduct.

ton AGueduct.
Col Elliot, in his report to Gen. Casey,
chief of engineers, of operations on the
Washington aqueduct, for the month of
December, says that the work of repairing
the Conduit road was kept up until the
weather put a stop to it. Favorable pro-
gress was made in the work of improving
the daily Dalecarlia receiving reservoir.
A deed for the land required for the COM
pletion Of the tunnel east Of Little Falls
branch was obtained on the 18th ultimo,
and the land was paid for on the follow
ing day. The work of excavating the tun-
mel was begun on the following day and
continued to the end Of the month. Three
shifts of men were employed at either end
of the tunnel, and the work was prose-
cuted day and night. Up to the end of
the month a length Of 1S2 feet of tunnel
cavation of the open channels between
Mill creek and East creek, and between
the two branches of East creek, was con-
tinued and 2.O37 lineal feet of the chan
mel between Mill creek ard East creek
were paved. Considerable paving was also
done to the other channels.
The dam across Mill creek has been
raised to height Of fourteen feet above
the bottom of the valley, and the facing
wall to protect the lower or reservoir side
of the dam from wind waves was
finished. Col. Elliot says that it is pro-
posed during the present month to con-
tinue the excavation of the drainage tun-
mel through the hill east Of Little Falls
branch, and If the weather permits, to
continue the construction of the dam
across Mill creek, and also to commence
the construction of a dam across the
mouth of Little Falls branch. He predicts
that the project for cutting off the drain
age of polluted water into the Dalecarlia
reservoir will be completed by the 1st of

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Mr.. Auerbach Knocked Down by o
Bicycle and Run Over by a Herdfc.
A serious accident, the direct result OF
the reckless riding Of a bicycle, occurred
about 1890 o'clock this morning at the
corner Of 18th street and Pennsylvania
avenue northwest. AS Mr.. Joseph Auer-
bach, the merchant Of 623 Pennsylvania
avenue, stepped from the sidewalk on his
way to board a cable car he was struck
and knocked to the pavement by rapidly
moving cycle.
A herdic cab driven by Brown Marshall
was but q few feet from the spot at the
time and, although the driver jerked his
horses around, the rear wheel of the vehi-
Gle passed over one Of Mr.. Auerbach's
feet The bicyclist hastened away from the
spot before his name could be ascertained.
In falling Mr.. Auerbach sustained a long
cut over his left ear.
At the request of the injured man he
was removed to his home, 81 L street
northwest and medical aid summoned.

RECONCILIATION
The Real Object in Efecting Cleveland
Hill Understanding.
Secretary Lamont Has Political Am
York Democracy is Necessary.

The fact that Senator Hill was one of the
party dining with Secretary Lamont last
evening has not excited the great interest
which was shown in the Senator's appear
ance at the White House table, yet, unless
The Star Is .nisinrormed, this occasion is
fully as significant as key to discover the
motive of the so-called reconciliation be-
tween Hin and Cleveland. At the Lamont
dinner there were republican leaders and
democratic leaders. and men who were
not leaders in politics at all. but engaged
only in the wiring of pieces" for the en-
tertainment OF the public. The politically
mixed character of the company precluded
sny suggestion that Mr.. Hill was present
to agree with Secretary Lamont upon a
financial policy, to discuss declaration Of
war. or to make private peace.
An Intimate Association.
The two events, however the White
House dinner and the Lamont dinner-are
intimately associated Secretary Lamont
is said to be the mediator between Mr.. Hill
and the President. A Star reporter is in
formed that it was through him that the
private letter from President Cleveland
urging Senator Hill to accept the invitation
to the diplomatic dinner was sent. This in
vitation and the cordial meeting of the two
antagonists had no bearing on the financial
fight in progress before Congress. This i'm
preston was given out merely to distract
attention from the real motive of the
reconciliation" Lamont has always en-
deavored to maintain friendly relations
with both the Cleveland and the Hill fac
tions in New York, and these events have
bearing on that proposition rather than on
finance.
Lnmont's Political Ambition.
1t is understood that Lamont has polit-
ical ambitions, the qualification of which
depends upon the restoration Of harmony
with the New York democracy. For long
time he had been working to secure this
harmony. Had it been established before
the last election. and had TIE time
been propitiouS, he, instead OF Hill.
might have been the candidate for
governor 1t Is understood to have been
in the interest of Lamont. as well as at his
solicitation, that Mr.. Cleveland agreed to
the nominal establishment of friendly re-
lations with Senator HILL The invitation
to Mr.. Hill to sit at Lamont's table, fol-
lowing Immediately upon his entertain
ment at the White House. is regarded as a
further step in the plan of advertising to
the world that harmony has been estab-
lished between the two New York factions,
of which Secretary Lamont expects TO be
the beneficiary. 1t is not believed by the
best informed that the incident has any
bearing whatever upon financial legislation.
but that on the contrary, it relates en-
tireIy to New York affairs.

NEGOTIATIONS FOR PEACE
They Will Probably Be Begun About
February l.
1t is Not known Just What the De.
mands of Japan VIII Be-What
MIR. KurinO Says.

Mr.. Kurino, the Japanese minister here,
tween the plenipotentiaries of Japan and
China will begin about the 1st of February.
His information Is that the Chinese peace
commissioners left Pekin on the 7th instant
and he expects they will arrive at Hiro-
shima Japan, In time to begin work by the
first of next month. 1t is expected that
Mr.. John w. Foster, who is to assist the
Chinese ENJOYS in the negotia tons, will also
be on hand. Mr.. kurino has not yet re-
ceived any direct information as to who will
conduct negotiations on the part of the
Japanese government, but he naturally pre-
sumes that Mr.. Mutsu, the minister of for
eign affairs, will be Japan's representative.
The minister says the newspaper reports
that his government had given notice that
it would not receive Shao, one of the Chi
nese plenipotentiaries, because of the lat
ter'S proclamations offering rewards for
Japanese heads, are incorrect
The Demands Uncertain.
In official circles here the tendency is to
discredit the accuracy Of the wholesale de-
mands mentioned in th" London Standard 8
Berlin dispatch, said to have been formu-
lated byJapan as condition on which peace
will be agreed on with China. An acquies-
cence in such terms by China, it is assert
ed, would amount practically to depriva-
ton of her nationality, and it is not believ-
ed that the Japanese government will go to
the extent indicated.
1t is doubtful if Japan has fully made up
her mind as to the precise demands that
will lie made. At any rate, If she has, it is
probable that they are known to but few
persons, as their publication at this time
in advance of the arrival Of the Chinese
plenipotentiaries would subject them to
much criticism and comment
Mr.. Kurino, the japanese minister here.
was asked about the matter, but he pre-
ferrcd not to discuss the subject further
ttan to express his belief that the report
