TALK ABOUT TELEGRAPH
Chairman Randall Gives His Views
on the Subject.
Government Ownership, He Thinks,
Would BE II Benefit To the Masses
in More Ways Than One.

A. l.. Randall, chairman OF the lnterna-
.ional Typographical Union committee on
governmental ownership aud control ~ the
telegraph, whose cuiniUittec is now being
heard before / he House PostOffice and Post
Roads Committee on a bill looking for that
reform offered by Representative Maguire
OF California, said Io a Times reporter
ioday when talking npon the subject.
1t seems tome thai all enterprises which
are in their nature monopoles should be
owned and operated by the people for The
people. and not by corporations for the
benefit of 4 few men notable for their
disregard of the pubic's rights and laws"
Mr.. Randall, III answer TO question why
his organization took such an active in
crest in public ownership, said:
The system of franchises in vogue, by
reason OF an agreement between the
Press Association and telegraph Conpa-
MES, practically limits the Dumhcr Of
newspapers. thereby depriving capita and
labor of profitable employment at that in
dustry i'll which we are so vitally inter
ested. Under government control there
would be no discrimination in rates, and
all who desired to engage in the publica-
lion of newspapers would have fair field.
By working for government ownership we
are serving the people OF all classes. aud
opening up avenues Of employment for
idle printers
In reply as To what the capital stock
of the Western Union was, Mr.. Randall
said:
In 1858 the capital stock was S3s5.-
700, and today it is 81 l5, 100000. The
stock dividends declared between SOS
aud s66 amounted TO over SIT .0OG. 600,
and the stock issued for new lines during
that period was almost S2,OO0.COO. The
largest dividend declared by that company
was Ala per cent.
Are your readers aware that % per
cent of the telegraph lines OF the world.
exclusive of the United States and Canada.
are under government control? Surely the
people of this country are as capable of
conducting a COVE vernment-uwned tcle-
graph as those of all the European coun-
tries"
Chairman Randall says that the wage
earners will not indulge in partisan politics.
but stil surely enter practical politics and
throw their influence against those MEM
berS who stand out against this PROPOSE
lion. He said there will be another hearing
before the House PostoffIcc Committee t.
morrow at l n m, and that the hearings
would commen &c on the Senate side Wednes-
day morning at II O'Clock before the Sem
ate POstoffice Committee.

CAPT. FIEBEGER'S PROMOTION
His Associates in the District Very
Sorry to Lose Him.

Sorry to Lose Him.
The prospective transfer of Capt. George
j. Fiebeger. present assistant to the En-
gineer Commissioner of the District, to
West Point, as professor of military and
civil engineering, is noted among his asso-
ciates in the municipal government with a
good deal of regret.
Capt. Fiebcger's nomination was sent to
the Senate late Saturday afternoon. and
his confirmation will doubtless be chron-
icled today or tomorrow The new duties
carry with them additional honors, for
the captains transfer is to a position
with the rank and pay oflieutenan colonel,
and a prospective ultimate promotion to
a colonelcy in more rapid sequence than
he might have enjoyed IN other service.
The captain will not leave the District un-
til his successor is designated. Upon his de-
parture, however. Capt. Burr will be the
senior offierc under the engineer Commits
sioner, and will. in the absence of the chief,
serve in his stead in the board, as Capt.
Fiebeger has hitherto done.
1t is a some what singular fact that the
first congratulatory telegram received by
Capt. Fiebeger came from California. The
difference in time between this city and
Washington enabled the San Francisco
afternoon papers to chronicle the fact that
his nomination had been presented to the
Senate.
If his successor stall evidence the same
efficenicy and practice the same degree of
courtesy as has Captain Fiebeger, he
will be in tire equally popular-not other

Kentucky Families ut War Over the
Burning of Mansion.


Burning of Al Mansion.
Mrs Elizabeth Johnston, a member of
an Old Virginia kentucky family, de-
sceudant OF Patnck Hcnry's lineage, and
well known in official circles here and in
kentucky, has been sued for $4,000 for
SANDER by Mrs. MOllic Johns of Lexington,
KY. Mrs. Johns had leased Mrs. Johnston's
| residence. the famous old McCaulcy home
stead i'll Lexington, and a few weeks ago
the house was burned. In her petition,
Mrs. Jonus alleges that Mrs. Johnston
charged her with having set fire To 1T.
Mrs. Johnston had retained several rooms
in the house when she let it to Mrs. Johns,
and some feeling had arisen between them
growing out of differences of opinion as
20 the mana agement of the place, which
Mrs. Johns was conducting as high
class boarding house.
Mrs Johns is We'll connected also. being
the Wife of a former official OF the Eastern
Insane Asylum. At the same time Mrs.
Johnston's husband, Col. J. Fletcher John
ston. now of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission here, was second in authority at
the asylum.
The property destroyed be lCnged to
John McCauley, not a kinsman of Gen.
Dan McCauley. He married a Miss Cole
man. a niece of Patrick Henry. 1t orig
inaly consisted of six acres well within
the resent limits of Lexington and when
divided between Mr.. McCauley's daugh-
tiers Mrs Johnston received the homestead
for her share. As 1t was her own by in-
berltance she has always managed it her-
self Mrs. Johnston is described as out
spoken and 1t is regarded by her friends
here as probable that II she thought Mrs.
Johns burned the house she may have said
So She is related to the late Gen. John c.
Breckenridge, the Confederate leader, and
her uncle. Samuel Coleman, in command at
Memphis under Breckenridge, discharged

Many people suffer from dyspepsia and

same time do not feel any particular pain

ry. This has proven to be good
