EAST WASHINGTON,
Business transacted mt the Reguln
Monthly Meeting.


Monthly Meeting.
The regular monthly meeting of the East
Washington Citizens Association was held
last night at Baum's Hall.
Owing to the inclemency of the weather.
there was light attendance, and not much
Business was transacted. President Bab-
son called the association to order shortly
after 8 o'clock He referred to the fact
that the East Washington Citizens Asso-
citation was one of the oldest in the city,
and welcomed the advent of new associa-
tions. The more associations the greater
the influence The association was In SYM
pathy with similar associations, and the
best Of feeling prevailed. He referred to
the progress being made in the movement
to reclaim the Anacostia flats. The people
OF the eastern section should be interested
In the movement. Every member of the
association should do missionary work in
this respect, and big mass meeting should
be called to consider the entire subject.
The committee having charge of this
subject had nothing to report. The resolu-
tion Of Senator Mcmillan calling upon the
Secretary of War to make surveys of the
locality had been mentioned. Senator No
MILAN had assured the committee that the
Senate would pass the resolution.
Mr.. A. F. Sperry referred to a former
motion of his, which was not acted upon
by the association, calling upon the COM
mittee on health, police and charities to
confer with the proper committee of the
board of trade to investigate and take such
action as was deemed necessary to remedy
the existing condition of the tenement
houses Of the city. These tenement houses
were, In his opinion, the worst in the
United States, and no one had the slightest
conception of the condition that at present
existed. He therefore desired to reintro-
duce the resolution. This was promptly
seconded and passed.
Before action was taken, however, Mr.
J. D. Croissant took occasion to criticise
the remarks of Mr.. Sperry relative to the
condition of the tenement houses in Wash
ington. He submitted that the matter had
been exaggerated.
Mr.. Sperry said in reply that he meant
every word he had said. The condition
here was as bad, If not worse, than any he
had ever seen. Washington is show city
The streets are wide and beautiful, but the
alleys are filthy. and should be cleaned out
He knew of a tenement house in which
two rooms were occupied by five families,
with no sanitary arrangements whatever
Upon motion of Mr.. Sperry a special
committee was appointed to provide ways
and means for an entertainment of some
character to bring the association before
the public.
This motion was amended by the appoint
ment of chairman who should select his
own committee. The chairman thereupon
named Mr.. A. F. Sperry.
The association then adjourned.

Commissioner Evans proposes removing
democrats now holding places as examin-

and appointing republicans in their places.
on the ground that such places are beyond
the pale Of the civil service. He bases this
action on a Supreme Court decision, in
which Justice Miller decided that pension
examining surgeons were not government
officials; that they were simply agents to
be hired and discharged at will by the
commissioner of pensions.
Over 200 pension boards I'm the large cities

TO BAR YouNe's STATUE.
Resolution offered to Prevent It's Being
Placed Ina statuary Hall.


Washington. Feb. 24.-The dispatches
from Utah indicating that a PROPOSE
tion is on foot for placing in Statuary
hall statue of Brigham Young caused
considerable stir here and have result
ed in the Introduction of a resolution
by Congressman Barrett, which provides
that statues intended for positions in
Statuary hall must be accepted by con-
gress before being placed in position.
Under the present arrangement they
are placed In position and accepted aft
erward. The only exception to this rule
is in the case of the statue of Marquette,
which was placed in position year
ago, and has not yet been accepted by
the house. The resolution for its ac-
pending before the house committee on
library, but will hardly be acted upon
in the present congress.
Under the provisions of the present
law any state may send to the Capitol
two statues of men who were its citi-
zens, and who were distinguished for
military or civic service, and 1t is the
duty of the architect of the Capitol to
have them placed in position where
they must remain until they are or
dered out by act of congress. This
would make II practicable for the citi-
zens of Utah, If they chose. to send a
statue of Brigham Young, and cause
ii to be placed In the Statuary hall,
where 1t would remain until some ad-
verse legislation had ordered its re-

CALLED THE SULTAN a CUR.
Plain Talk In Parliament Over Foreign
Fleets Firing on Greeks.

fleets FIRING ON Greekss
London, Feb. 24.-The action of the
foreign fisets in firing upon the Cretan
Christians brought on a vigorous attack
ON the government in the house of COM
mons. The government was sustained
by vote Of 243 to 125. 1t is to be noted.
however that this result shows only
1868 votes out of a total membership OF
670, and that the governments normal
majority of over $50 was cut down to
a majority of only 11S among those
present.
Curzon asserted that the Greek troops
In Crete had only increased the anarchy
there, and denied that the warships had
attacked the Greeks. Balfour said the
powers were doing everything to avert
war. Goschen said the government was
doing its best to hold an even scale be-
tween the Christians and Mussulmans
in Crete. Sir William Vernon Harcourt
declared that England ought not to take
arms against a people fighting for free
dom.
Labouchere protested against protect
ing that miserable cur, that foul blot
upon civilization, the Sultan of Turkey"
Several other Liberal members dwelt
upon the stain placed on the British
flag by the firing on the Cretans. John
Dillon said her majesty's ships had COM

pressed people. struggling for freedom
