THE MEMORIAL BRIDGE

The greatest need of Washington
city is a bridge across the Potomac
river to Arlington. Both Secretary
Proctor and Secretary Lamont have
recommended, as military necessity,
the building of this bridge, The say
ing in time and actual money to the
government alone in communication
with Arlington and Fort Myer would
pay large part of the interest on the
amount needed to build the bridge.
But this is bagatelle in comparison
to the amount that would be saved to
the old soldiers and their families and
the people from all over the country
who visit the National Cemetery at
Arlington.
The bridge will be built at no dis
tant day. but the friends of tha. move.
ment should direct the attention of
Senators and Members to the neces-
sity of at once having this important
work completed, so as to open up the
vast suburbs to Washington city on
the Virginia shore. The government
owes this to the thousands Of clerks
who are compelled to live in flats
or board because they are unable to
buy land on this side of the river at
the rates that the rapid development
here necessarily causes. The Senate
passed the bill appropriating 100000
for this purpose at its last session, and
will doubtless do the same thing again.
and the House would have done SO
also, but for the fact that the bill was
not reached on the calendar.
Washington must be given all the
space needed for its people. The
government owns LOO acres of land
at Arlington, 100 of which is all that
is needed for the csmetery and Fort
Myer. One hundred acres should be
turned over to the Agricultural De-
partment as central experiment sta.
ton, and the balance made into
grand military parade ground and
park which should be unequalled in
the world National Farm and Fire

Train Robbers Fooled.

ST. LOUIS, Mo June 17.-An attempt
was made last night to hold up Bait
more and Ohio southwestern passenger
train near Salem, III. The attempt
failed through the weakening of one OF
the robbers, who informed the sheriff
of the gangs plans. With posse the
sheriff went to the scene of the hold-up
before train time. He found the track
piled high with timbers. At the ap.
pearance of the posse the gang scattered
and most of them escaped, though fired
on by the sheriff and his officers. One
of the robbers was shot and captured
and is now dying in Jail at Salem, where
he was taken.

The Queen in Good Health.

WINDSOR, Eng, June 17.-Queen
Victoria arrived here from Balmoral at
8 o'clock this morning. Thousands of
people lined the route from the railroad
station to the castle. She looked the
picture of health and her cheerful as
pect gave emphatic contradiction to
the story that she had become totally
blind. In addition, it is learned that
the Queen has personally read numer-
GUS documents and programmes con
nected with the jubilee festivities dur
ing the past few days. Evidence AS to
her health being perfectly satisfactory
for woman Of her age is furnished in
the fact that she has now decided to
keep In the same place along the whole
route Of the procession.

The Hawaiian Question.

PLYMOUTH, Eng, June 17.-Bisbop
Willis, of Honolulu, who has just arriv.
ed here from Hawaii, says the feeling in
the islands is against the United States
and greatly in favor of British annexa-
ton. The bishop is quoted as saying
that there is no doubt that Japan will
enforce her claims in Hawaii.
LONDON, June 1.-THE Pail Mall
Gazette says that the Marquis Ito, the
Japanese statesman who was inter
viewed yesterday in Paris, has declared
that Japan will not create international
difficulties in connection with Hawaii.
The Globe says: "This American grab
is breach of good faith, if not viola
ton Of treaty rights. Lord Salisbury
and his colleagues should stiffen their
backs and tell President Mckinley that
Great Britain claims the right to be
consulted before the annexation of Ha-
waii is finally decided upon"

The vest was responsible. Some in

burned and had to be taken to the

ME-. RUSSELL SMITHS FIFTEEN
HoRsEs.-Mr. Russell Smith, of Idle
wild Stock Farm, Culpeper, Va, &C
companied by his nephew, Mr.. T. Cor
nclius Smith, came to Baltimore yes
terday to locate a string of fifteen
horses which, he says, were sent here
several weeks ago to be trained by Mr..
John McGlone. of the Warwick stables,
H oward street and Park avenue.
The horses were to be shipped TO
Virginia last Saturday, he says, but did
not arrive, and the owners came or to
see what was wrong. AT the Warwick
stables the Messrs. Smith found MIR.
Albert M. Horner in possession, who,
according to Mr. t. G. Smith, refused
to say where the horses were. The
result of this was that writ of re
plevin was secured through Attorney
John Henry Keene and two deputy
sheriffs went on hunt for the horses.
They located three of them at the
Warwick stables, and the remaining
animals were fonnd in two other livery
places. 1t was stated that Mr.. Horner
claimed certain amount for the board
of the horses. The Messrs. Smith dis
puted the bill, denying that Mr.. Horner
was entitled to it. This was the cause
of the trouble. Mr.. Horner came into
possession of the Warwick stables last
week, ousting Mr.. McGlone by means
of Injunction. The horses were re
moved last night to E. Clarence Vests
stables. They are valued at about 5000
each and were being trained for the
colt show at Upperville, Va, which
takes place this week Baltimore

Among them are several applicants for

Newman, Mayors, Rives, McCaull,
Zerega, Groner and Lee. 1t is rumor-
ed that three consulates will fall to
Virginia. Dir. Butler Malone is also
here, and wants an Office, but not a
foreign one. Much of the time of the
conference is spent in deciding differ
ences in respect of certain postoffices,
among them that at Riverton. Mrs.

ton, Rappahsnnock county. MIR.

State, is also here. Mr.. McCabe, an
applicant for the Leesburg postofice,
is also here. There are several other
applicant for this place, among them
Messrs. Bolyn, Nichols and Anderson.
Old politicians here are laughing at
Secretary Sherman whose name is sp-
pended to the Hawaiian treaty, and
say that, next to Mr. Gladstone, he is
the most variable statesman alive, and
that he very recently put himself OF
record as opposing all addition to the
territory Of the country.
1t is reported here that an investiga-
ton OF the distribution Of the $40, OOO
sent by Mr.. Hanna to Virginia last fall
will be made by the national republican

HERETOFORE THE republican protec-

least some of the articles poor people
consume from burdensome taxation,
but now, not only every thing poor
mans family has to wear and use, but
also to eat, and even the flowers they
buy to lay ON the graves of their dead,
must be heavily taxed; and, the worst
of it is that not cent of the tax on
common food and flowers goes into the
