PROTECT THE TREES

With the leaves on the trees in our beau
tiful streets comes the caterpillar that
pest which wrought such havoc in the
city last summer. There are other insect
plaques, such as the Web worm and the
elm beetle, against which war has TO
be waged, but the caterpillar is, of them
ali, the most annoying. Nobody can have
forgotten how they not only disfigured
the trees last year, but swauned up the
fronts of houses, into the very rooms, and
contributed TO the discomfort of house
keepers. Secretary Morton of the De-
partment OF Agriculture suggests that as the
appropriations made by Congress are not
sufficient 10 enable the park commission
10 make war upon the pests effectively,
the citizens should take the matter into
their own hands. They can do much by
exercising a little care and taking a
little extra trouble, and it is believed
that they take sufficient interest in pro-
tecting one OF the chief ornaments of
our city not to shun little unusual ex-
ertion or trifling expense.
On another page of this issue of The
Evening Times Secretary Morton's sugges-
tionsareprinted. Theyare well worth read
ing, for they tell, the people just what they
can do to keep the trees from being den uded
OF their foliage by the caterpillar, or being
otherwise injured, If not entirely destroyed,
by the elm beetle or other insects. In other
cities, where the people are suffering from
the same evil, they have taken steps to
check it, thus supplementing whatever ef-
forts the authorities are making in that
direction. Much can be done with the
ordinary street washer, and every house
keeper has Il direct personal interest in
keeping the tree or trees in front of his
residence as free from insects as possible.
The park commission does what it can to
remedy the nuisance. but the means at its
command are So Inadequate that the most
it can accomplish is not nearly enough. The
residents can do a great deal to assist the
commission aud they will undoubtedly
not be laggard in the work of preserving the
trees

TILE NEW poLICE FORCE.

While the addition of fifty men to the
local police force is very far from the num-
Der that ought to have been provided for by
/ Congress. yet even that increase is better
! than hone a t all. The Commissioners can do
great deal to make it effective by adding
to it some CT the men row detailed for duty
at the White House and other places where
special watchmen should be employed. II
this were done at least twenty more men
could be put on patrol work, and this with
fifty TO be appointed at the teginning CT
the next fiscal year would give us ut least
two-thirds OF the number of men that were
originally declared by the Commissioners
and Major Moore TO be necessary for the
proper protection of person and property in
the District.
1t would seem that with this increase
reorganization of the force with n view
to yet greater effectiveness would lie pos
sible. Recent events have shown it to he
desirable that the more remote and less
thickly settled portions of the District,
especially those toward the Maryland line,
should be more closely patrolled, and it
is on this service that a squad OF Officers
on bicycles could be admirably utilized.
They could move more rapidly; the noise
lessness of their movements would enable
them TO get close to malcfactors with
out giving them notice OF their presence,
and they could go along roads which men
mounted on. horseback would have to
avoid. There is very strong sentiment
in the country sections OF the District that
they are not as We'll protected by police
as they should be, and it Is quite certain
that their complaints in this respect are
not unfonded. :
A bicycle squad in those sections is made
necessary, Furthermore, by the recently pro-
muigated regulations of the Commissioners
prescribing maximum of speed ON country
roads. While, OF course, greater liberty
should be given 10 wheelmen in Tie country
than in the City, it is yet TO lie taken into
consideration that unreasonable speed ma y
cause disaster and damage on the roads as
we'll as on thesstreets. But what makes
the closer patrolling of the country roads
especially necessary, is the fact that they
are more frequcnted than formerly, and con-
sequenuy offer opportunities TO footpads
and tramps psofevildisposirioDw which formerly
did not exist.

ASTRONOMER HOLDEN HERE
Lick Observatory Scientist, For
msrly at Naval Observatory.
He Is Preparing the Naval Academy
Board of Visitors
Report.

! Edward S. Holden, professor of astronomy
In LICK Observatory, is ut the Hotel Nor
mandie busiIy engaged in preparing the re
| port OF the board OF visitors to the Naval
Academy at Annapolis.
Prof. Holden has not only attained con-
siderable reputation on the Pacific coast,
but is well known in this city, having been
connected with the Naval Observatory.
member of the Engineer Corps, but aft
erward resigned for the purpose of becom-
ing an astronomer, the latter pursuit be-
ing more to his liking.
"Ir anybody had told me twenty years
ago." said Prof. Holden, THAT Washing
ton would have developed in so short a
, period into such prosperous substantial
and attractive city. should have regarded
the prediction as an extravaganza of speech.
But the prophecy would have been more
than Justified, as l consider this the most
beautiful city in the world and the indica-
tions are that its development in I he future
will be as rapid as in the recent past
In comparing Lick with the Naval Opser-
vatory, frof. Holden says that the latter
has three times the income OF the IOrmer
but aside from that fact in all other re-
spects it is fully equal to the institution
flourishinS here under governmental pa
tronage,
While eulogizing the observatory with
which be is now associated, the professor
does not hesitate to compliment the Naval
Observatory ON the great Improvement that
has been made during the past fifteen ycars,
and praises the superior work now beng
performed there. Love for the old place
has not rorsaken him, and he has several
times visited the scene of his former labors
during his presence in the East.
The rumor has prevailed that Prof. Hol-
den. Willie here, expected to negotiate for a
new telescope. This is not the case. as
there is no necessity for new Instruments
now. At the same time he regards the tele-
scope factory here with high favor and
says that some exceptionally good work
is being turned out.
Tile chief business which brings Prof.
Holden TO Washington is the preparat on
of the report giving the result of the board
of visitors inspection at the Naval Acad-
emy. This duty Will probably occupy three
or four weeks. 1t is intended to make this
report unusually full and complete. Recon-
mendations will be made for great many
improvements. but nothing in the present
management of the academy has been found
deserving of condemnation. On tile CON
tfary. the present condition of the institu-
tion will be praised. Prof. Holden is a
large. stout, fiDe-looking, light complexioned
man. with side whiskers. He is about fifty
years old.

LEE AND MEYLER.

Nobody that ever had the pleasure of
| knowing genial Fitz Lee, our consul gen
eral at Havana, will be surprised TO learn
that he is hypnotizing General wcyler into
heretofore unknown degree OF eentlene=s
| and complaisance. In his debonnair pres
| ence, before his amiable and cheerful de-
| mcanor, in the hearing OF his hearty laugh
and with the cordial grasp of his hand
| even such nature as weyler's must melt
| 1t is quite easy 10 conceive that after a
brief acquaintance "Our Fitz," as they call
him down in Virginia. So completely inn
pressed himself upon the captain general
| that the latter just told him to do Just as
| If he We're at home and help himself.
Hence, we hear of the United States consul
general visiting Cuban prisons, having ac-
! cess to such captives as he desires to see.
| getting permission to visit the Spanish
lines and even going beyond to the insur-
| gents camps; in fact, we obtain the i'm
] preston that valeriano weyler is General
FitZhuGh Lees most obedient servant.
From all this the happiest auguries ma =
be drawn-for the personal intercourse be-
tween Gen. Weyler and Gen. Lee, but
it is not safe to progDosticate from it Il
change in the Weylerian method of admin
istration or conducting war. The insur-
gents and their sympathizers will he shot
and butchered just the same. either in the
Havana fortresses or in tie cane fields
or ON the country roads. Gen. Lee will
have no trouble IN ascertaining that there
is a vast difference between the sort of
fightingh lie used TO do in tile late unpleasapt-
ness and that carried on by Weyler and his
subordinate generals. However gracious
weylcr may be to Lee In his palace at
Havana, outside Of its walls he !S the blood
thirsty monster yet and ever Willie.
But the insurgents have two powerful
allies Just now; one is the sickness that
now attacks the Spanish troops in Cuba,
the other is the prospect of a revolution
in Madrid. the possible resul; of the dis
closures which General Campos threatens
to make iu the CorteZ as to the conduct
OF the war on theisland. Even now Madrid
is in ferment and the most trifIing cause
may serve to produce an explosion.
