Proposal Accepted.

The District Commissioners have accepted
the proposal of H. I. Gregory to furnish
the heating and ventilating apparatus for
the new school building to be erected on
9th street southeast between B and c
streets for the sum of 1880, materials to
be furnished and work done in accordance
with the specifications embraced in the
contract entered into for like purposes for
the school building under construction in
lexington. The system of heating and
ventilating Is considered the most suitable
for tie purpose, and as it is controlled by
one firm no competitive bids were received.

PUBLIC PEACE THREATENED.
Local Difficulty Calls for Exercise of
Stntesmanshfp.


According to a communication received by
the District Commissioners the Cuban trou-
BILE, the partition Of China, the seal fisheries
and the Venezuelan boundary controversy
are not the only questions which tend to
produce war clouds on the horizon. There
are others. Or, to put it more definitely,
there is another. And it is right at the
doors of the people of the District of Co.
be a great naval conflict. and the scene of
the combat will be the Eastern branch.
The causes which threaten to lead to such
dire results are fully set forth in the fol-
lowing communication, which has come to
the hands of the Commissioners Of the
District, the writer being Mr.. Block Zook:
"You are doubtless aware that for many
years there has existed between the citi-
this town a dispute concerning the East
ern branch fisheries. They claim the right
to catch fish in any part of the branch,
while We deny that they have any right
below the bridge. We could have settled
the question long ago and in our own way.
We are not unmindful of our great river
power. We know that one of our sand
scows could, with her fox terrier pistols.
lombard their town and dictate terms to
them. But as we do not wish to resort to
extreme measures, we have mutually
agreed to refer the whole matter to a board
Of arbitration, to consist of three members.
"Bladensburg has selected the mayor of
Ivy City; we have requested the chief of
police of Four Mile Run to represent US,
and the third member is to be chosen by
your honorable body. We have no desire
to influence you in your selection, but ask
that he be a man well versed in maritime
and inter-town affairs. We do so because
of the great interests involved, question
before which the Venezuelan boundary, the
independence Of Cuba. the seal fisheries,
or the partition of China fades and pales
into utter insignificance. The decision of
the board will be near as well as far
reaching in it's effects. In view Of the near
approach of the fishing season in the water
In dispute, we earnestly hope that you will
give this matter the attention it's import
ance demands"
The Commissioners are as reserved and
secretive in the matter as the most correct
State Department official could possibly be,
but 1t is believed they recognize the fact
that only arbitration can avoid the threat
ened conflict, and will endeavor to select
the desired third member of the proposed
court. Just who he will be cannot, of
course, now be stated, but it is said that
the Commissioners have in mind the mayor
of Jackson City, and If his honor will ac-
cept he will probably be rendered the ap-
pCintment

NEW TYPES OF BOILERS.

Supervising Inspectors Discuss These
and Lffe-Saving Apparatus.
The session of the board Of supervising
inspectors of steam vessels at the Lehman
building yesterday was devoted to the con-
sideration of new types Of boilers and life
saving apparatus, the different committees
taking charge of all data descriptive Of the
devices, and reporting to the board upon
them.
The supervising inspector general pre-
scented a communication from DIR. F. W. r.
Riehl of Alameda, Cal, relative to his kite
to the committee on life-saving apparatus
and returned with the request that as de-
vices of this description are not required by
law, the committee be relieved of further
consideration of the subject. This is the
same report made upon the subject when
the invention was submitted to the board
last year.
