FAVOR ANGLo-sAXON UNION.
Such an Alliance Approved by All
CInsses in Great Britain.

A dispatch from London says: The re-
markable unanimity of the approval OF
both classes and masses of the suggestion
of an Anglo-American alliance compels
belief in the sincerity of the desire of the
British public for an understanding with
the United States.
The fact that most of the cable dispatch
es from America have stated that the sug-
gestion has been seriously discussed Is
heartily welcomed here and is regarded
as extremely important and gratifying, as
showing a friendly spirit These DIS
patches" as diplomatist put it, ARE in
spring hope that the differences of the
past will be buried and that Anglo-SaXons
in the near future will be found issuing
identical notes to all opposed to Their COM
mon interests. -
1T is not any stretch of Imagination 10
saw that such a union has been lchsed
for by the best men in Great Britain loT
MANY years, not only because Of the gen.
uine wish for closer bonds OF irleisiship,
but because it is known fact That all
the statesmen OF Europe realize that a
close alliance between America and Great
Britain would constitute the sUrest guar
antec of the peace of the world ana would
afford proof that the reign of Jaw and IN
diyidual liberty is to be extended Tor the
benefit of mankind, in spite of the Efforts
to extinguish ii made by reactionary rulers
and governments.

Wnr an Evil and n Crime.

George F. Edmunds, former senator from

Herald in answer to a question:
~ cannot answer your question intelli-
gently, because 1 do not know with pre-
cision the exact points Of strain in the Dip
lomatic intercourse between the two coun-
tries.
I'VE cannot with clear conscience kill OF
MAIN one or two hundred thousand of our
own citizens in order to relieve from their
dreadful condition the Spanish subjects in
Cuba. We must. Of course, defend our
country at every hazard, but We must re-
member that war is one of the greatest of
evils, and 10 usually the greatest OF crimes"

BARKER HAS NOT THE REPORT.
Official Denial OF "a Rumor Current at
key Nest.

A dispatch from Key West. Fla. yester.
cay, says: The court OF inquiry according
to Rear Admiral Sicari, VIII continue its
work through the coming week, as 1t is not
really to make q report on the Maine dis
aster.
The statement that Capt. Albert s. Bar.
ket Is carrying the report to Washington
is officially denied. Tho object OF his fiyine
visit to Key West was not learned outside
of official circles until today. II can be
suthoritatively stated that Capt. Barker
had nothing to d. with the court of in
curry.

special mission to inreitigate the harbor

he left here last night, was 10 confer with

1t is difficult to say definitely whether
not any synopsis of the findings OF the
court up to date has been sent TO WASH

has been done. but official confirmation
of it is obtanable. That the final report
has been sent TO Washington can be den.

The court is expected to reconvene to-

Fear War mt Home.

A special to the New York Herald from
Havana yesterday says:
In an editorial yesterday FL Concrete
seemed to hold the belief that the only
thing which keeps the United States from
war just now is the fear OF internal dis
order The editorial concludes thus:
president Mckinley knows that should
he be forced to war he would be confronted
by serious domestic problems. Ii is known
the world over that the western and south
ern states are waiting the first opportunity
to dissolve the Union and separate them
selves from the east.
IF Mckinley fails to check the warlike
demonstration that has appeared during
the last few days he may find that the
United States have neither strength nor
prestige and are attached to one another
IN the most himsy manner"

PROPER SUPERVISION RECOMMENDED
Report Of the Joint Congressional
Committee.
RESULT OF LONG INQUIRY
PROPER SUPERVISION RECOMMENDED
RESULT OF LONG INQUIRY

The congressional joint select committee
to investigate the charities and reformatory
institutions in the District of Columbia met
this morning and made a report of the in
veStigations it has made under the au-
thority contained in the District of Co
lumbia appropriation acts approved June
IL, 1856, and March 3. 1897.
Under these acts the joint select commit
tee was given authority, in part, as fol-
lows:
THAT a joint select committee is hereby
authorized, to consist of three senators, to
be appointed by the presiding officer of the
Senate, and three members of the House
of Representatives, TO be appointed by the
Speaker of the House, which select COM
mittee shall make investigation of the
charities and reformatory institutions of
the District of Columbia. and especially of
those for which appropriations are made
by this act, as respects their relations to
the government Of the District of Columbia
and to the United States, whether by spe-
cial charter or otherwise, their efficiency,
their management and resources, whether
by appropriations, Investments or other
wise, and also what portion, If any, of ap-
preparations heretofore made to them have
been used for the purpose of maintaining
or aiding, by payment for services, ex-
penses, or otherwise, any church or re-
lgious denomination, or any institution or
society which is under sectarian or &C.
clesiastical control: whether such chart
table or reformatory institutions are effec-
tive and economical in their organization,
methods and expenditure to provide for the
poor and destitute in the District of Co
lumbia: whether it is practicable for the
Commissioners other authority in the
District to make contracts or to otherwise
provide for such care of the poor and des
titute with any Of said institutions, and.
If So which of them and to what extent,
within the limitations of the policy herein
before declared; and, if not, the probable
expense of providing and maintaining pub
lie institutions for such purpose
This joint select committee consisted of
the following members: Senator's Mcmillan,
chairman; Faulkner and Martin; Repre-
sentatives Pitney, Northway and Dockery.
The committee was organized February
81, 1857 and Immediately began a series of
eleven hearings covering the entire ques-
ton of charities il the District of Column

No Organization of Charities.

"At the beginning of its investigation"
the report says, 1.-The committee was con-
fronted by the fact that there has never
been any organization of District charities.
Each institution has been founded to meet
some need more or less pressing AS a
rule. the Institutions so established were
founded without expectation of congress
sional aid and were maintained for a long
er or shorter time by the contributions CT
philanthropic AMI benevolent citizens of the
District. When the zeal of the founders
cooled, or when the institution mad devel-
cped a constituency greater then private
contributions could care for, appeals We're
made to Congress for aid, and these APP
peals met with such response that at the
present time there in almost every
branch of charity several organizations,
each aiming to do essentially the same
work but unfortunately no one of which is
adequately supported.
owing also to the lack of cooperation
among the Institutions themselves and the
necessity of securing the means for sup
porting even limited amount of work, it
has been impossible in most instances to
carry out progressive ideas. and as a result
the charities of the District are far behind
those in operation in other communities.
The bla me for this state of affairs does not
rest primarily with the institutions them
selves, for in almost every instance the or
ganizations present records of self-sacrifice
on the part Of individuals and of real de-
votioG to the cause of charity.

The value of the property occupied is about

Recommendations as to Appropriate
lions.
The report reviews the question of an
nual appropriations for the relief of the
poor, and says the committee recommend:
First. That a specific sum be appro-
priated for physicians to the poor, and
further specific sum for medicines and
printing prescriptions for physicians to the
poor.
Second. That no discretion be given to
the Commissioners of the District of Co.
lumbia to grant moneys to any institution
in the District of Columbia, but that all
such grants be in accordance with specific
appropriations for such purposes.
Third. That no appropriation be made
for outdoor relief.
"The committee suggest to the Commits
sioners of the District of Columbia the ad-
visibility of the appointment of smaller
number of physicians to the poor, and the
payment Of salaries more in accordance
with the duties they should perform; also
that calls for physicians be left at the pc
lice stations, under regulations prescribed
by the health office, in order to have some

STRATT0N GIVES
 HIS TESTIMONY Denies That He Acted in a Dual Capacity as
 Attorney. Another Monotonous Day in the Trial of the Harbor Commissions
 Suit

The trial of the injunction suit brought by the Paraffine Paint Company against the Board of State Harbor Commission CTS was resumed yesterday before Judge Belcher. The entire session was devoted to the examination of Attorney F. s. Stratton, who took the stand in behalf of the defendants, to testify that they had acted under his advice and to further de- clare that the suggestion made that he had been acting in dual capacity, as legal adviser of the harbor board and at the same time attorney for a lumber com pany interested, was without foundation.
 Attorney Stratton went into the details of his employment as attorney by the Harbor Commissioners and of his deal ings with the s. F.. Slade Lumber Com pany and Pacific Pine Lumber Company. He testified that he advised the commits sioners not to let contract on any of the bids that are the subject of the present legal controversy. He testified that he told the commissioners that inasmuch as they had been restrained from opening the bids by injunction suit on the day advertised in the proposals, there cations arising if any contract was let after the advertised time. When the bids were opened on December l4 last and no award was made that day, Stratton said he told the commission that he further believed another cause for legal contro- versy would be furnished. inasmuch as the contract had not been awarded on the day the bids were opened.
 Stratton then explained at considerable length the dealings he had had with the representatives of the lumber companies mentioned in the present proceedings He testified that although he had been con suited by Slade, he had refused to give the Harbor Commissioners any legal ad- vice on the question of paying the Slade bills. He added that he had simply ad- vised Slade concerning his legal rights and not on any matter in which the Har-

PUSSY CAT IS
 A WILD ANIMAL Such Is the Decision of Judge Campbell in the Case of
 Charles Bone. Warrant Is Now Out for the Arrest of Bone Charging Him With
 Felony.

Judge Campbell has made a record for himself by declaring that a cat is not a domestic animal and cannot therefore be claimed as the property of any one. In other words a cat, according to the whis- kered jurist, is wild animal like bear or a tiger, which will be a surprise to many a housewife who loves her cat.
 The decision was rendered in the case of Charles Bone, 161O Steiner street, who was charged with poisoning Maltese cat, the property of his neighbor, J. c. Fred ericks The poisoning of the cat was not denied. as Bone argued that it was a nuisance by tearing up his, shrubs and annoying the neighborhood by it's yowls during the hours of the night. but the de- fense was put in that according to law the cat was wild animal and therefore did not belong to Fredericks and the Judge took that view of the case and dismissed it.
 Yesterday Fredericks, who owns several valuable dogs and cats, and is afraid that they might all now be poisoned. swore to a complaint in Judge Joachimsens court for the arrest of Bone on a charge of having placed poisonous matter with in- tent to destroy animals. This is a felony and the bonds were fixed at 5000.

 A SPEEDY TRIAL.
No Time Lost in Convicting a Cow
 ardly Murderer.


 OAKLAND, March S.-Prosecuting Attorney Harry A. Melvin made a rec ord this afternoon that is probably without a parallel in the State. With fin five hours of open court Eulalio Gonzales was tried for murder and his case given to the jury. Three hours later the jury returned verdict of murder in the second degree.

 At 10:30 this morning the case was transferred from Department to De- partment 1. A jury was obtained and an adjournment taken to 1:45 p. m. The trial continued till 5:05, when the case was given to the jury. At s o'clock tonight verdict was returned.
