What Justice Brewer Says of the
Venezuelan Commission.
Mr.. Justice Brewer the president Of the
Venezuelan boundary commission, states
that there is 10 ground for the stories
which have been published recently al
leging extravaganza in the management of
the affairs of the commission. He says
that the quarters of the commission In
the Sun building, SO far from being too
elaborate. are simply furnished, and that
so far from each member having a private
room there are but three offices for the
five members; that so far from each room
teing provided with a solid silver pitcher
and salver, there is not a piece Of silver
in the rooms, there being simply two or
three inexpensive plated ice water pitch
ers. So far from there being large force
of employees the commission had kept the
number down to the lowest limits, employ
ing only such as were actually required
and as required, SO that there were but
seven persons employed, including secre-
tary, typeWriters, copyistS, doorkeeper and
messenger AS to the alleged liberality
in salaries. they We're on the usual scale
TOR such services and not at all beyond it;
that the Sumptuous luncheon consisted
Oh sandwiches and tea, with half dozen
raw oysters and this was only ordered to
save the time which otherwise would be
wasted In going to and from restaurant.
1t is denied also that there has been any
delay in the work. On the contrary, the
members of the commission have been
actively engaged in researches to obtain
the data they need in considering the mat
terS committed to them

PITTSBURG, Pa. February S.-An early
morning fire at McKeesport, Pa, resulted
In the loss of one life and the destruct ton
of 100000 worth of property Among the
buildings destroyed was the Altmeyer
Theater,in which was the McKeesport Her
aid.
The fire started on the fifth floor of the
Altmeyer building and is supposed to have
been caused by defective electric light wir-
ing The flames were discovered by the
printers of the Herald as the fire began to
eat Its way through the sixth floor. The
nights work had just been finished and the
paper was about to go to press.
When the flames were seen rush was
made for the usual points of egress, but
the stairways were already impassable
The only resources left were the windows
and the elevator shaft.
All but G.. VI. Barton, the foreman, sue
ceeied in sliding down the rope. His es-
cape was cut off and he was burned to
death.
The flames spread to the residence of
Peter Strong. adjoining, which was de-
stroyed. P0llards jewelry store and Diet

Officers Were Nominated by the Re-
publicnns in Caucus.
The republican Senators in caucus yes
terday afternoon late prepared for the
completion of the reorganization Of the
Senate by the nomination of w. A. Shaw
of Spokane, Wash, to be secretary of the
Senate; H. L. Grant of North Carolina, to
be sergeant-at-arms, and Alonzo Stewart
Of Iowa, to be assistant doorkeeper. It
was decided not to disturb the old blind
chaplain. There was about an hour and
half debate before this was done. The
defeat Of George c. Gorham, who was the
leading candidate for secretary, was
brought about through the earnest personal
appeal Of Senator Hoar, that his old-time
personal enemy, who had attacked him in
n newspaper, should not be chosen for this
position. EX-Marshal McMichael of Phila-
delphia was also candidate for this place
Four candidates for the position of SER
geant-at-arms were presented, Capt. Geo.
c. Curtice of New Hampshire, by Sena-
tors Chandler and Gallinger; ex-Sergesnt
alarms Valentine of Nebraska, by Sena-
tor Thurstcn; Smith d. Fry of Iowa, by
Senator Gear, and Mr.. Grant by Senator
Prltchard.
The first ballot resulted in 16 votes for
Curtice, 10 for Grant, for Fry and for
Valentine. In the two or three ballots
that followed Valentine and Fry dropped
out of sight, and the last ballot gave
Grant the caucus nomination by 25 votes
to 13 for Curtice. This choice was also
made unanimous

DIR. HUTCHINSON FINED.
Charged With Disobeying an Order
the Court.

the Court.
The long-pending controversy between
DR.. VIM. A. Hammond and DR.. Mahlon
Hutchinson resulted this morning in a fine
of $25 being imposed upon the latter by
Chief Justice Bingham.
An order was made by the court the 18th
of last month prohibiting DR.. Hutchinson
from in any way using Dr. Hammonds
name in his advertisements. That order,
DR.. Hammonds S attorney, Mr. Samuel Mad
doX, claimed today, has been violated re-
peatedly, and Mr. Maddox moved that DIR.
Hutchinson be punished therefor suggest
ing that Imprisonment in Jail should be i'm
posed.
Chief Justice Bingham, in dfsposng OF
the matter, remarked that there was no
doubt that DIR. Hutchinson was fully ac-
Quainted with the requirements of the tenn
porary restraining order, and that it had
been, therefore, knowingly violated. While
he had redress by appeal, and might secure
it's dissolution at the final hearing of the
case, still the orders of the Equity Courts
must be fully obeyed else the orders of the
courts would be of no avail 1t was a case
which required the inhction of punishment
but, while DR.. Hutchinson could properly
be imprisoned, the chief justice remarked
that he was not disposed to be so severe as
he believed that the imposition of a fine
would suffice.
The court thereupon fined DR.. Hutchinson
S25 and assessed against him the costs of
the attachment proceedings.

GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE.
Col. Wilson's Report ON Gae Work of
Enlarging and Repairing 1t.

n
EnlarEfng and Repairing 1t.
Col. Wilson has made report to the
chief Of engineers of the condition of the
work of repairing and enlarging the gov
ernment printing office. He says that work
upon the six-story fire-proof structure on
the site of the old stables has been push
ed forward as rapidly as possible. The
brick work of the outer walls has been
completed, the copper cornice placed In
position, the roof prepared for the tin COW
ering and the work of laying the tin pushed
forward. The carriages of the iron stair
ways have been put in place and the work
well advanced toward completion. The
floor arches are nearly completed in the
fourth and fifth stories and are well ad-
vanced in the sixth story: The fire--proofing
of the columns and girders Is under way.
The extent of the work accomplished Is
shown by statement that there have al
ready been put in place 8,620 common
brick, 1853 buff brick, 1856 select red
brick, 1852 pressed, nodded and colored
brick, III pieces of ornamental terra Gotta,
81 stone sills, lintels and mullions and 40
window frames.
The number of mechanics and laborers
engaged upon the work during favorable
weather has varied from 100 to 140 daily
and operations have been pushed forward
as rapidly is consistent with frst-ciass
work. On the 2Sth ultimo operations were
commenced for cleaning down the north,
south and west fronts preparatory to re-
moving the large scaffolding. Prepara-
tions are being made for the heating,
lighting and plumbing of the building. Ma
terials for this work Will be purchased un-
der contract and the work will be done
by hired labor. With favorable weather
it is expected to complete during the pres
ent month the tin roof covering, the iron
stairWays, the interior brick work, the
floor arches, the windows and the fire

THE DARDANELLES.
Minister Terrell Has Not Applied for
Another Guard Ship.

So far as Is known here United States
Minister Terrell has not applied to the
Porte for authority to have another guard
ship enter the Dardaneiles. AS a fact the
minister has never had one such vessel, un-
less q little steam launch used to convey
him from the Porte to his legation can be
called a guardship. At present there is no
need for a guardship for the United States
legation at Constantinople, and it is be-
lieved that the rumor that Mr.. Terrell is
moving In that direction probably has it's
foundation in a suggestion that was under
consideration some time, ago, when there
was reason to apprehend roting in Con-
stantinople, tnat might endanger the Unit
ed States legation. Inasmach as the United
States government has expressly refused
for years past to recognize the right of the
Turkish authorities to exclude any Of our
warships from the Dardaneies, which we
persist in regarding a great artery con-
meeting two open seas and, therefore, not
subject to the Jurisdiction of any one ma
ton, 1T is hardly probable that Mr.. Terrell
would go upon record now as officially ask
ing permission to exercise a function that
the United States insists it may discharge
as a matter of right when it sees fit. OF
course, in the present disturbed and pre-
United States government Is not disposed
to make an issue neediessly, that might
tend to cause an outbreak but Il the time
comes when it is deemed necessary for the
protection of American interests to have
one or more warshipS in the DardanelleS,
they viii be sent there without asking the
permission Of any other nation.

Ex-CONsUL wALLEa,s CASE.
A Belief That n Way Has Been Opened

Belief That Way Has Been Opened
for His Release.
It Is intimated that the President has an
other surprise in store for Congress, this
time concerning the case of ex-United States
Consul Waller, who has been held prisoner
for nearly a year by the French authorities,
under sentence of Corrt-martial for hav-
ing held communication with the enemy in
Madagascar.
Early last December Congress called for
the correspondence which the State Depart
nent had had in reference to this case, bat
so far no response has been made by the
executive to the request of Congress. 1t is
believed that the delay has been caused by
p desire of the State Department to practi-
Cally close up the incident, before making it
the subject of reply, end as it is now eX-
pected that the correspondence will be sent
in very soon, it is consequently assumed that
somo satisfactory understanding has been
reached with the French government, by
which the way has been opened for the re-
lease of the prisoner.

PRIZE FIGHTING A FELONY.
The President Signed the Catron Bill
Late Yesterday Afternoon.

The President signed the Catron bill to
prevent prize fighting in the District of CO.
lunlbia and the territories as soon IL
vas presented to him yesterday afternoon.
Consequently, prize fighting is now n fell
ony on all territory over which the national
government has exclusive jurisdiction. The
responsibility for the prevention Of the
F'itzsimmons- -Maher fight In New Mexico Is
placed on the governor of that territory.
The governor has been informed of the
Presidents signature of the act, so that he
is fully aware that il is law of the land
from this moment. The federal authorities,
however, are disposed TO do everything In
their power 20 assist in the execution OF
the Law IL the governor should find it be-
ycnd the unaided ability Of the territorial
officers to prevent the fight in the territory.
To this end the governor, If he is satisfied
that his local forces are insufficient to meet
the case. may call upon the United States
marshal for assistance, and the latter, In
turn, may avail himself Of the services Of
all Of the United States troops in the De-
partment OF Colorado, If that many are
necessary in order to suppress any illegal
gathering or breach of the new law. Prop
er instructions will he sent by the War Do
partment to Gen. Wheaton, the department
commander at Denver, to promptly supply
all Of the force requisite upon the request
Of the proper authorities.

IN A TANGLE AT ANNAPOLIS.
Republican Leaders Disturbed Mt the
Condition of Legislation.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Nd, February S.-Senator-
elect Wellington left this morning for his
home in Cumberland, where he intends to
spend the next few days resting quietly.
Before leaving Baltimore he told The Star
CORES spondent that he expected to go to An
napolis early next week.
The republican leaders are alarmed at the
state of affairs at the state capitol and are
anxious to get the large republican majori-
ty in the house out of the tangle in which
1t is now involved Nearly half the session
IS gone, and none of the reform measures
which were promised during the campaign
have been passed.
Mr. Wellington and the other leaders pro-
pose to take a hand in the proceedings at
Annapolis, ard by exerting their influence
promote the speedy passage OF the assess
ment and election reform bills.
The civil service bill is rot likely to be
passed without the addition of a referen-
diirn. and the present mood of the members
does not indicate any desire to pass it, even
In that shape, but the leaders will erdeavor
to compel them to stand by this feature of
their party platform.
