To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1 think the statement published in The
Star of yesterday, that President Andrew
johnson is the only President who ever set
foot on foreign soil, during his term of
office, does an injustice to President John
son.
The statement was to the effect that
President Johnson, while staying at
Niagara Falls, unwittingly crossed the river
into Canada, but Immediately returned. on
learning that he had crossed the border
The facts in regard to the incident, az
published In The Star and other papers at
the time, are as follows:
In the summer or early autumn of 1867,
while on well-remembered Journey
Swinging round the circle), he, in company
with Secretary Seward and others, stayed
over Sunday at Niagara Falls. While out
for a walk with the Secretary of State,
they went out on the Suspension bridge to
near the middle of the river on the bound
ary line The middle Of the river being
clearly marked by tablet, they were care
full not to pass beyond it. They then re-
turned to the American side of Niagara
river, and did not set foot on foreign soil

THREE SUITS IN ONE.
An Interesting Case Against the
Board of Dental Examiners.

An inter .sting suit filed in the District
court late Saturday afternoon which prom
ises to attract wide attention before it is
finally settled. 1t was brought by DR.. Cas-
sius NJ. Carr the dentist and patentee of
dental appliances, against Williams Dom
naly individually; Donnally, Garnett l..
Hills, Charles w. Appler. Henry B. Noble
and Mark +. Finley collectively, as the
beard of dental examiners of the District
of Columbia, and the District of Columbia
itself, these suits being included in the
one declaration. DR.. Carr claims damages
of $50, The declaration alleges that the
defendants March 10, 1898, falsely and
malicously and without any reasonable or
probable cause made oath to an informa-
ton in the Police Court that the plaintiff
Carr, was uulawfully practicing dentistry
in the District of Columbia without having
first obtained certificate of qualification
from the board of dental examiners and
registering the same with the health officer
of the District, and that March Is the
plaintiff was fully acquitted of the charge
by a jury. and duly discharged. Proceed
ing, the declaration alleges that on ac
count of this prosecution a corporation
ganized by him. called the Artistic Anchor
Dentune Company, in which he had a large
and controlling interest, was injured and
prevented from doing business, and per-
sons who had subscribed to it's stock with
drew and refused to pay the balance due
on such subscriptions. and that the plain
tiff has thereby been prevented from real
iZing large sums of money from his interest
in the corporation. Tracy l.. Jeffords is
DIR. Carr's attorney. The case has already
been discussed in local dental circles, as
well those elsewhere, and its outcome

To Remove the Merrimac.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Unless the defenders of Santiago de Cuba
make more vigorous resistance than is
now indicated, the place will be carried by
assault, or will be surrendered within a
couple of weeks.
In view of this probability, the inquiry
suggests itself: rs the department which
has work of this kind in charge prepared
to cause the immediate removal of the
wreck of the Merrimac?" When Santiago
falls we will want prompt access to the
bay. Our fleet will need its safe harbor and
We want to begin sending our supply ships
there. Lieut.. Hobson said. in advance of
his glorious feat, that when he had de-
posted the Merrimac at the place designed
no appliance existed south of New York
city capable of removing the wreck
Therefore, we ask. have timely arrange
ments been made? Has a wrecking vessel
been ordered TO proceed to Santiago? Or is
nothing TO be done in advance of the cap
ture of Santiago? 1t will probably take
several days of hard work when such a
vessel arrives. She should be ordered to
the spot right now. W. T. NJ

READY FOR RIFLE PRACTICE.
interest shown by National Guards
men in Official Scores.

The inspector general of rife practice re-
ports that the interest taken by the guards
men in shooting their official scores is most
gratifying, and that large numbers of those
who have hitherto shown no disposition to
perform this duty have expressed their de-
termination to qualify as marksmen or
sharpshootetrs for the present season The
inspectors, appreciating this disposition
are encouraging it in every way, and the
outlook for larger humber of quaifica-
tons than formerly is said TO be excellent.
1t Is believed that the absence of the
large number OF Suardsmen with the volun-
teer regiment at the front has considera-
bic to do with this condition of affairs
The "stayat-homes" want to show that
they can at least make bulls eyes if they
have not the privilege of shooting Span
iards.
The crosses and buttons have been near
ly all distributed. Lieutenant Birney in
spector of the 1st Battalion, has received
those for the Light Infantry boys, and the
members OF the 4th Battalion will receive
thelrs when they report for rifle practice
at the gallery Tuesday evening.
