The republican candidate for district
Judge, Hon. Jas. McNeny OF this city,
who has been 10 active practice for
twenty years in this city and county, is
one Of the brainiest lawyer In the state
and will carry with him q large follow
ing from every political party. 1t would
be q difficult task, however, for a lawyer
who has been active not to have made
some enemies who are presistontly
camping on his trail, but ThE CHIEF be-
lieves that withal the persistency Of
some of his enemies that he will have IN
overwhelming majority from the fact
that he has the ability to preside over
the high Office for which he has been
nominated. He is qualified to wear the
judicial ermine honestly and honorably
and IL elected the court will be for the
people aud not for those who hope to
use the law for mercnary motives. Re-
publicans and friends Of law and order,
and fairness in court procedure should
ardently support Hon. Jas. McNeny for
Judge of the tenth district. Our courts
should have the best talent possible to
be- obtained T.. preside over them, men
who thoroughly understand the intricate
statutes that bear upon most all ques-
tions that come up for adjudication.
Such a man is the republican candidate.
Let's bo done with d~emagogism on the
bench and in high places generally, it is
not American. Republicans stay by
your party and do not be led by people
who are adopting methods Of al uncer-
tain hue in the interest Of populism and
their own behalf. Stay by McNeny.

During one occasion a female spy was

like Allen to make. especially while hold

ON THE EDGE OF WAR
Excitement in Mexico, With Posi-
Bile Call to Arms.
DENIAL OF end OF NEGOTIATIONS
Troops Being Modified on the
frontier.
MANY OFFERS OF VOLUNTEERS

MEXICO CITY, Mex, January 19.-Don
Mexico, was seen at the National Palace
today, when emerging from conference
with the Mexican minister of foreign rela-
tions, and positively denied that diplomatic
negotiations have come to an end over the
International boundary dispute.
Ell Universal, which is counted as semi
official paper Of the Mexican government,
contains a confirmation of the report of
yesterday that Guatemala has rejected
Mexico's claims.
These claims are considered as Mexico s
ultimatum.
The excitement in this city is at higher
pitch than ever, and since the question has
been pending war talk is heard on every
side. The high feeling not only permeates
military and civil circles at the seat of
government, but has diffused itself Through
the whole nation, and the department OF
war is daily receiving proffers of state
troops, civil volunteers and money and
munltion appropriations.
Newspaper correspondents here are hold
ing themselves ready to hasten to the
seen in many quarters in anticipation OF
what the next day may develop.
The greater part of the Guatemalan
frontier is occupied within communicating
distances by Mexican troops and artillery,
while Guatemala has taken the same steps
in the mobilization of it's troops on the OPP
posite side of the delinlitation between the
two republics.
It is feared a clash Of arms may be pre-
cipitatei at almost any time by an ill-ad-
ViSed action on the part of StragglerS con-
nected with the two forces OF troops.

DISTRICT AUTHORIZATION
Several Amendments offered In the
Senate Today.

Several amendments to the District ap-
preparation bill were noted in the Senate
today. Senator Martin introduced an
amendment directing the Secretary of the
Treasury to pay outstanding certificates
issued by the Commissioners Of the Dis
trict ur der the act of July II, 1892, for
the cost of improvements upon the street
connecting Columbia road with Connecti-
cut avenue extended, and thence along the
avenue to the District line, which have
been declared illegal by the Supreme Court
of the District.
The amendment carries an appropriation
in blank for this purpose 1t was accom-
panied by a memorial from A. j. Warner,
who undertook the contract for this i'm
provement. He sets forth that there is
now due and unpaid balance In his favor
of SG7,2OS.64. Complete payment under the
contract has estopped by decision OF the
Supreme Court of the District in suit
brought by one Ryan, questioning the
legality of the proceedings. The amend
ment and memorial accompanying 1t We're
referred to the District committee.
The Tux Penalty.
Senator Gallinger presented a substitute
for the tax penalty amendment introduced
by him and approved yesterday by the Dis
trict committee. He said that he had COLI
suited with the assessor of taxes, who had
decided tnat the aElelQSQ IOTln WOulu pe
more certain and definite, and would bet
ter serve the purpose of the amendment,
which is to reduce the tax penalty from
to l per cent. In it's revised shape the
amendment is as follows: provided, That
IL one-half OF the tax on real and personal
property shall not be paid before the 1st
day of Dece Glber in each year, said one
half shall then be in arrears and delin-
uuent; and there shall then be added to be
collected with such taxes a penalty OF 1
per cent upon the amount thereof, and a
like penalty on the 1st day of each sue
ceeding month until payment of said one
half and the penalties; and if said one-half
shall not be paid before the 1st day of
June following, together with the one-half
of said original tax due before said 1st day
of June a like penalty shall then be added
on said last half of such tax, and the
whole together shall constitute the deln-
uuent tax t. be dealt with and collected
in the manner now provided by law, and
all acts or parts of acts Inconsistent here
with are hereby repealed" Mr.. Gallinger
requested that this amendment, as thus
modified, be read to the committee on ap-
preparations.
Two Amendments.
Senator Mcmillan offered two amend
ments neither of which contains a new
proposition. One of these repeats an
amendment offered last year appropriate
ing $4,000 to open 37th street, in George
town. Back street and the Tenley town road.

skaters. Among those who were enjoying
the smooth, icy surface was Carl Willett,
sixteen years old, son of Mr.. r. H. Will
lett the lumber dealer. He was more un-
fortunate than the others, for he either
went into an air hole or broke through
where the ice was thin and disappeared
beneath the ice
Persons on the pond made every effort
to rescue the boy, but they We're powerless
to do SO.
Word of the fatal accident was sent to
the police The ambulance was sent to the

PREVENTIVE OF DISEASE.
Medical Society Recommends That
District biological Laboratory he
Estu blisllcd.

The president of the medical society of
| the District, DR.. Samuel c. Busey, today
sent to the chairman OF the appropriations
committees of the Senate and House the
following letter:
Il am directed by the Medical Society Of
| the District of Columbia to transmit to
you its recommendations.
THAT there should be established, under
the immediate and direct supervision of
| the health department of the District Of
Columbia, a biological laboratory, equipped
| with skilled bacteriologist, competent
assistant and janitor, ard supplied with all
the appLrtenances necessary for bacte-
rio illogical examination of water, soil,
dusts, milk and foods, and also to deter
mine the presence and nature of specific
pathogenfc germs in cases Of suspected
contagious and infectious diseases.
II am advised that the appropriation
necessary to establish and properly con-
duct such laboratory should consist of
the following items: Salary of skilled bat
teriolcgist. sl.soO; salary of competent as
sistant, $500; salary Of jantor, $3.50; APP
purtenances and cne years supplies, $1,000.
Total, 5,1S0.
"The Medical Society of the District of
Columbia believes the establishment of
such laboratory in connection with the
health department of this city has become
an absolute necessity to enable that de-
partment to fully discharge its duties to
the public and to protect the community
from certain prevalent preventable dis
eases.
I'm view of Investigations made by the
society (see report of said society, made to
House OF Representatives, the chemical
and meteorological examinations of the
milk and drinking water supplies are so
imperative that it is not believed that Con-
gress will deny the necessary appropriation
out of the revenues Of the District of CO.
| lumbia to establish such an important adj
dendum to the health department.
"The Medical Society of the District of
Columbia is ready and prepared at any
time, through its committee, to appear be-
fore your committee to demonstrate the

Wns u Mistake.

Some weeks ago the papers published a
dispatch from San Francisco. Cal, stating
that Col. Cienfuegos of the Salvadorean
army had been murdered on his way from;
Acapulco to the City of Mexico, and the
Mexican minister at Washington having
called the attention of his government to
that report, the necessary official inquiries
were made, from which it appears that at
the time of the publication Col. Cienfuegos
was on his way from the City Of Mexico
to Acapulco, a direction opposite to the
one reported in the dispatch; that he ar
rived safely at the latter port about the
4th of December, and that he was seen
there on the 24th and stated that he had
not met with any accident on his way from
the City of Mexico.

SENT TO HONOLULU.
A Vessel Ordered There to Protect
American Interests.

Secretary Herbert had a conference with
the President this afternoon In regard to
the situation in Hawaii, the result of which
was the sending of telegraphic instructions
to Admiral Beardslee, commanding the Pa
cific squadron, to proceed with his flagship
Philadelphia to Honolulu with all possible
dispatch.
1t is expected that the Philadelphia will
be ready to start from San Francisco by
tomorrow evening. and that she will reach
Honolulu in about six days. 1t was stated
at the State department this afternoon
that this action is taken purely as a pre-
cautionary measure and not with any idea
that the presence Of a warship is abso-
lutely essential for tie protection of Ameri-
can interests. 1t is stated, however, that
this change of policy is due in a great
measure to the Indignation of many Con-
gressmen over the absence of an American
ship at Hawaii.
