ADMIRAL K1RkLAND's REPORT.

Department Officials Reply to Ger
tain Criticisms.
The statement that Rear Admiral Kirk
land had cast serious reflections on the
integrity OF American miss ionaries in
Turkey, which called forth an a MS wer from
the editor of the Presbyterian Banner, is
said In official circles to be not sustained
by the facts
Admiral Kirkiaud's report on the result
OF his investigation into the alleged out
RACES on American missionaries I'm Syria
contains nothing that could be construed
as offensive by missionaries or other par
ties concerned
The result of the investigation as shown
by the report, was a failure to discover any
information tending to sustain the charges
that Christians had been crucified and
otherwise ill treated.
Admiral Kirkland visited every acces-
sibie port on the Syrian coast in the cruiser
San Francisco, and made a very thorough
inquiry into all the complaints At each
port he invited on board the vessel the local
authorities and all persons who had charges
to make or testimony to give. Not one
who came in response to the Invitation
outrages and the hearssy evidence was OF
so flimsy a character that it was impossi-
bic to follow it up and obtain statements
from persons who claimed to have wit
messed Ill treatment OF Christians. S-s-

PURCHASED fHE FLOORING
Thorp and Bond Awaken tos Sense
Of Duty.
They Instruct Their Foreman ON the
Post-office to Provide All Reason
able Precautions.

Superintendent of Construction Kinsey
and The Times have gained their point,
and Messrs. Thorp Z Bond have weakened.
A few days agot otsuperintendent Kjnsey
wrote a strong letter to the contractors
demanding that they take immediate steps
to provide for the safety of the men
at work on the city postoffice building.
Hessrs, Thorp q Bond had previously
refused to take any such precautionary
measures, as reported In The Times, hold
ing that IL was the Governments duty
and not theirs to takethe steps suggested.
Evidently, seeing the fight which was
being waged against them on account OF
the stand they had taken, and not wishing
to incur further popular disfavor. they
to-day directed their foreman, Mr.. Wodrig,
to take every precaution and buy all the
additional lumber which is necessary for
the safety of the men.
The foreman, with that end In view, to-
day purchased 5000 additional feet of
timber. and more will be gotten by him
If necessary,
Mr.. Thorp was expected at the building
to-day; but up to a late hour this after
noon he had not arrived In the city.

MR.. cARL1sLE,s TRIP.
Lake People Hope 1t win Improve
the Light Service.

the Light service.
The officials of the Treasury Department
who have direct supervision over the light
houses on the Great Lakes and those also
in charge of the lifesavings stations, are
now deeply interested regarding the OBJ
servations of Secretary Carlisle who, a.
is well known, is making lengthy tour
around the Great Lakes. OF course. 1t is
not claimed that Secretary Carlisle made
this trip for the express purpore Of looking
into these questions of 70 much Importance
to the lake interests, but it 10 believed to
be fact, nevertheless, that while on this
Journey he win absorb good deal of in
formation that he otherwise Could not have
secured unless the trip had been taken.
Whatever else may be said of Secretary
Carlisle, IL is conceded by his political op-
ponents, as well as his political supporters.
that he is most observant man. The gen.
eral opinion is that his trip will not be given
up entirely to pleasure If he Is able to Sc
cure the information that It is expected he
will the prospects are that In his annual rec
concentrations to Congress Mr.. Carlisle will
advise that more money be appropriated
than has been the case In the past 10 improve
the benefits derived from the life-sayiDg sta
tions and lighthouses on the great lakes.
1t is pretty generally believed that
Mr.. Carlisle, by his trip from Duluth
around Lake Superior aud the other
lakes east and southeast, will see the
necessity of better service, SO far as
the lighthouse and life-saviug stations
are concerned, and that in addition TO
this he may also recommend additional
appropriations for better revenue cut
ter service on the Great Lakes.

CRASHED TO THE SIDEWALK
Pedestrians Narrowly Escape Death
from a Mass Of Falling Iron.
Balcony of the Droop Building Gave
Way and Fell to the Unguarded
Pavement.

Agentleman and lady, whose names could
not be ascertained, this morning had mar
row escape from serious injury, II not in
slant death. while passing on the inner side
of the pavement In front of the new building
being erected at No S26 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. northwest
Until recently pedestrians have been pro-
tected from falling stone and iron by a
substantial wooden shed, but the work was
believed 10 be so nearly approaching COM
pletion as to render this precaution unne-
cessary. As a consequence those passing up
and down the Avenue, with their customary
disregard of danger, walk as closely as pos
sible 10 the building In the hope of obtaining
a little protection from the sun.
Shortly after o'clock two men were
working upon the second-story balcony.
The Top and bottom supports have been Sc
cureiy placed In position. Half Of the
highly decorated cast-iron panels had been
fastened into the framework, being Sc
cured by rivets. Another section, weigh
ing probably 400 pounds, was uprighted in
the supports, and one OF the iron workers
was in the act OF driving bolt to hold it,
when the whole mass slipped beyond con-
troll, and, falling outward struck the pave
ment with great force. The heavy iron was
broken into fragments.
A gentleman and lady were passing d the
time, and only escaped being crushed by
the merest hairbreadth. No undue negli-
gence is attributed to the workmen, as
the accident was regarded as one of those
unavoidable in the construction of every
new building. Whatever degree of condem-
nation may attend the matter belongs to
the contractor for removing the sidewalk
shed before the exterior Of the building.
