Suggestion as to school sites.

Apropos Of the trouble the Commission
ers are having in selecting a site for the
new school house in East Washington,
comes a timely suggestion from Mr. Thos.
w. Smith. Mr.. Smith was at the Commits
sic ners' office this morning. and made pub
lie a plan which he believes will work
to the great advantage of the city in the
matter Of procuring school sites In future.
His idea is to obtain a sufficient apprO-
priation to enable the Commissioners to
buy these sites In advance. School sites,
he said, should be bought away in advance
of the needs of the District. In fact. 1t
would be well. he said. II the Commission
ers could purchase a hundred of them now
In the suburbs. These could be bought
anywhere from $50 to $1,000 an acre. and
while there may be no necessity to build
Upon them for twenty-five years there will
be a time when they will come In handy.

WERE NOT ANDREE'S PIGEONS.
Later Dispatches Seem to Settle the
Question Definitely.

BERLIN, July 23.-The Hamburgische
Correspondent says that thousand birds
belonging TO various pigeon-aying societies
were released July 13 at a place about $50
kilometers northwest Of Heligoland. Fact
pigeon had an aluminium ring on Its leg
inscribed with a number of letter to ind-
cate the year of it's acquisition.
1T is believed" says the Hamburgische
Correspondent. that the pigeon found in
the neighborhood Of Soevde, in Rifylke,
with silver ring on one of its feet and its
wings stamped with North pole, 142 W..
1862 was one of these.
Denied From Copenhagen.

Tromsoe Island near the north point of
Norway. stamped with the words and fig

Andree's pigeons were marked under their
wings "Andree' and "Aftonbladet." re-
spectively. They were all numbered.
Thirty Of his birds escaped while he was
wintering here.
Gen. Greedy on Andree's Trip.
In reply to a Geographic request General
A. w. Greedy, the arctic explorer, has sent
the following signed statement from Lin
den, Va, regarding the Andree expedition:
1t is possible that Professor Andree
may have reached the north pole or its
vicinity. Telegraphic reports as far as l
have seen, state that he started with a
south wilma of twenty-five miles an hour.
The chances of such a wind blowing six
hundred miles straight to the north pole
are, however, very small as 1t would be an
extraordinary meteorological phenomenon
such as has never accompanied any storm.
My opinions on Andrees projected exped-
ton and his probable return were ex-
pressed at the sixth international geo
graphic congress in July 1885, in London,
where 1 dcba ted the subject publicly with
Professor Andree and also discussed the
chances with him privately. He admitted
the extreme hazard of the project, which
l strongly outlined.
l pointed out that even should ne reach
the pole. he could hardly expect to find his
south wind continuing across the pole for a
thousand miles, as north wind.
l urged that his chances of attaining the
North American coast were Infinitely small,
as the observations at Lady Franklin bay,
Grinnell Land and Point Barrow, Alaska,
showed that the winds were almost con-
stantly from the south, while strong north
winds were almost unknown. Andree re-
piled: Then l shall expect to land some
where on the Siberian coast" He also ex-
pressed again his determination to go, and
his confidence of returning safely. Pro-
lessor Ekholm, who accompanied Andree
In his unsuccessful attempt of last sum-
mer. declined to go this year on account of
one Of the dangers that l urged upon An
dree-the permeability of the balloon which
allows gas to escape constantly, but which
Andree claimed to have overcome. While 1
believe that Andree will never return. vet
experience teaches us that miraculous
things occur daily. A.. w. GREELY.

Mrs. Aander has been for the last two
years a sufferer with dropsy. About two
weeks ago she determined to 20 to Harpers
Ferry, saying she was sure the air and
surroundings there would benefit her Her
physicians advised her not to go, fearing
that death might ensue at any time, but
her will prevailed. For the first week at
Harper's Ferry she showed great improve
ment, but toward the end of the second
week began to fail rapidly Her daughter,
MRS lseman who was with her, telegraphed
to Mr.. Aander and he arrived there in time
10 see his wife before the end came. The
remains were conveyed to this city and have
been for the past day at the late residence
on 7th street.
Mrs. Aander was born in Germany and
came to this country when five years old,
settling In Baltimore, where she was reared
In 1854 she came to Washington, and in the
year following married Mr.. Christian
Aander. She had a large circle of friends
and acquaintance, but would never mingle
In the social world, preferring to stay at
home with her children. She leaves two
children, Mr.. Henry Nander, the we'll
known pianist and leader of the Saenger-
bund, and Mrs. Iseman.

The CrfsveIl Fire.

Fire Marshal Drew made his report to-
day on the fire at DR.. CriswelPs drug store,
corner of 7th and T streets. yesterday, but
gave no figures showing the amount Of
damage done. Drug store fires, the mar
shall says, are hard to estimate, and until
DR.. Criswell has time to take stock the
amount Of damage will not be known. Tho
fremen complain that in the passageway
In the rear of the store stacks of books
were piled. These books blocked the pas
sageway SO well that some trouble was ex-
perienced in getting to the fire with che
hose. After the flames had been extin-
guished ore of the firemen rescued a small
black cat found swimming in the water in
the cellar. and the poor little animal in
sisted upon returning to the damaged
building.

These figures are based on st. Croix raw
sugar, which represents about the average
Of raw sugars Imported in the first four
months Of the present year, and on Ger

value was 2.47. Duty on 100 pounds Ger
nan fine under Wilson tariff (40 per cent.
plus 121s cents). $1.113; under proposed tar
iff 81 90.
Dutch refined sugar was valued at GEO.
and, therefore, the differential as against
these refined sugars would be So cents
higher per 100 pounds under the Wilson
tariff than is stated above, and would be
the same as stated under THE proposed tar

Granulated or hard sugars cannot be
made Of sugars below 81 degrees, and
therefore, the differential on the low grades
Is immaterial.

Fees of the Consuls.

1t Is said at the State Department that
considerable Misrepresentation exists as to
the effect Of the changes made in the con-
sulsr regulations so far as they affect the
fees collected by these officers. The re-
vision will touch both the official and the
unofficial fees, but 1T Is said that in no
case will the fees invoices in Great
Britain be reimposed, as has been alleged.
The changes have been made by Mr.. Chill
ton, chief Of the consular bureau, and are
in line with the reports he has made from
time to time to the department while trav-
cling in Europe, Mexico, Canada and other
places.
