II the Editor Of The Evening Star:
There Is general feeling of dissatisfac.
ton among residents, especially the busi
ness portion, over the proposal to mobilize
the troops on waiting orders at Norfolk
rather than in the District,
The reasons for this are self-eyident In
the first place, Washington has greater
space advantages for accommodating the,
army, while in .healthfulnesA there is no
comparison. Business men argue that the
concentration Of volunteers in and around
the city will necessarily attract hundreds
of strangers. not only among friends Of the
soldier boys, but those who desire to profit
by the sightseeing advantages as well. An
army Of 20, 900 to 80 600 men located on adj
vantageous ground about the town would
be of enormous financial advantage of it,
self. incidentally bringing thousands of dol
lars In all branches Of business
Besides the troops, Washington is in itself
a drawing card to Consolidated cities on
account OF its sheltered position. Besides
the large hotel accommodations could he
utilized when such limited opportunities as
afforded by Norfolk would be all made
quate.
Similar conditions are to be considered in
reference to the SUPERIOR healthfulness of
the District, with its magnificent public
reservations for tenting the troops In and
around the suburbs, thereby avoiding risk
! Of malaria and undue crowdng
1t would be as weIl to carefully consider
these points as well as the appropriateness
| of the selection from national standpoint.

A Hero of the Maine.

In the account of this great disaster,
in the Tribune of to-day February 17th,)
we read that the first act of Captain
Sigsbee, upon going on deck, after the
explosion, was to order man to flood
$500 pounds Of gun cotton which was
on board. Then follow these simple but
significant words.
s.The order was carried out, the man
never returned, but Havana was saved
from a still more terrible explosion. 2
No comment is made. There is only the
simple narrative. Who was this man
who took his life in his hand, upon or
ders from his superior and saved
Havana? Let MIN be known, this
man, faithfuIsunto death, and let his
deed be told in song and story! Was it
not in principle, in substance, like the

THE FIRE RECORD.
Fire in Double House Pine street-Is
it Another Defective Flue?

1t Another Defective Ftue
Fire broke out about s o'clock yester-
day morning in the double house on
Pine street, owned by John Harney
of Morris Plains and occupied by Mrs.
Sanders and by the Misses Hopkins and
Beers, dressmakers. The fire was first
discovered about the chimney near the
front of the house on the westerly side, in
the Misses Hopkins and Beers apartments
and appearances indicate another poorly
constructed chimney. Most of the fire
companies responded by still alarm be-
fore the general alarm was turned in
from Price & Guerin's stables. Excel
lent work was done by the firemen, how
ever, and the flames were controlled and
put out in short order. All of the house
hold goods, including carpets, were re-
moved from the first floor but most of the
goods up stairs were damaged. Nothing
was removed from the other side of the
building. The loss was about 5000 to the
building, fully insured.
