and the men under his t0:asuand had
comparatively easy day of it.
In South Washington the arrests for
petty offenses were greatest. In COM
parison with former Fourths, however,
the day was passed very quietly and the
crowds were most orderly. The most ser;.
Gus disturbances occurred as a rule in
the outlying precincts, while in the
central part of the city, where the crowds
were greatest, the police had little or
nothing to do.
The blotter or the Ninth precinct station
is a silent record OF unwise ceiebrators.
Mary Scott, white woman, imbibed so
freely that she went to deep in the doorway

in the station house.

over Joiiirication were Benjamin Thomas.
Stephen Kernes and ] Ohm H. Waters.
Michael NJ. Mcintosh fell victim to Police
man Bradley for engaging in an affray
with Edward Gafford.
In the Second precinct n large number OF
drunks and disorderlies. profanities and
affrays filled the rolls at the station and
kept the police busy all evening. Seventh
street, Crow Hilland Swampoodle werealive
with all sorts OF happenings.
Some of those whose fun landed them in
the hands Of the police are Patrick Ready,
Edward Diggs. Noah Burke. Charles II eTbert.
William Bernard. Timothy Hurley, Anthony
Banks. Dennis Daily, j Ohm Seaborn. Daniel
o,inson, Artemus Powell and William
Hacker. The arrests were ma lie by Police
men Darlington, Cooper. Hendricks. Hartley,
Donovan, Holmes, BotsOn, Gleason and
Nebf
OFFICERS Shannon, Keefe and Kopp arrested
Charles Burket. Richard Moore and Emma
White for creating a regular row in the
northern section above Boundary. They
were all locked up at No. station.
The latter was also charged with assault
aud battery upon William Ellis, whom she
struck with some instrument, although
infiicting no serious wound.
Officer Stewart brought John Gray to
the station because he attempted to do
his wife Mary, who censure him for getting
intoxicated. While on the way to the
station he was almost beyond control and
hence received an additional charge Of
disorderly conduct.
George j. Martin, a laborer, was ar
rested last night by Officer BurlingaIne,
OF the Third precinct, for assault and bat
terry OH william Johnson.
George RiGgley, charged with the same
nffense by Hetty johnson, was also run
in. Neither q the cornpiaiDants are
seriously hurt.
At the Seventh precinct there were but
few arrests, none OF which were for
serious offenses.
The officers of the Third precinct did
rushing business yesterday in drunks
aud disorderlies. OF the whole number
arrested more than oDe-half are charged
with disorderly Conduct.

Inhabited almost exclusively by peopl.
whose ancestors were driven from Ar
cadia by the English, n they were
proud of being un-American in every
sense. French was the only language
SPOKEN or understood, and the habits OF
life were strangely like those of ancient
France. All this is changing rapidly
now, the most potent influence being
the establishment in all the towns and
villages OF pupnc schools, in which
both teachers and pupils are required

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
A Mastery State Paper Touching all De-
partments of the Government.
An Able Discussion Of the Cuban Matter
And our Duties In Relation Thereto.
All Questions Between this Country ana
England Amicably Settled.
A Reference to His Policies With Suggestion
for Further Action.

TO the Congress Of the United States:
AS representatives Of the people in The
legislative branch of their government
you have assembled at a time when the
strength and excellence Of our free in
stitutlons and the fitness Of our citizens
to enjoy popular rule have been again
made manifest. A political contest in
volving momentous consequences,
fraught with feverish apprehension,
and creating aggressiveness so intense
as TO approach bitterness and passion
has been waged throughout our land,
and determined by the decree of free
and independent suffrage without dis
turbance of our tranquility or the least
sign Of weakness in our national struc-
ture.
When we consider these incidents and
contemplate the peaceful obedience and
manly submission which have succeed
ed a heated clash of political opinions,
we discover abundant evidence of a de-
termination on the part Of our country
men to abide by every verdict of the
popular will and to be controlled at all
times by an abiding faith in the agen-
cias established for the direction of the
affairs of their government. Thus our
people pNnlDll a p~dtllotiC hlsIb7lli'h'
which entities them to demand of those
who undertake to make and eXecut"
their laws such faithful and unseltish
service in their behalf as can only be-
prompted by a serious appreciation OF
the trust and confidence which the ac-
ceptance of public duty invites.
In obedience TO a constitutional re-
ouirement / hereby submit to the con-
gress certain information concerning
national affairs with the suggestion OF
such legislation as in my judgment is
necessary and eXpedient. To secure
brevity and avoid tiresome narration ]
shall omit many details concerning mat
tiers within federal control, which, by
no means unimportant, are more proht-
ably discussed in departmental reports
| shall also further curtail this commu-
nication by emitting a minute recital al
any minor incidents connected with our
foreign relations which have heretofore
found a place i'm executive messages
but are now contained in a report OF the
secretary Of state, which is herewith
submitted.
