A protest was filed by Messrs. John A
Hamilton and James E. Miller with the
District Commissioners several days ago
against the dumping of old asphalt and
other rubbish in front of their property on
LIST street between n and streets From
a report made to the Commissioners it ap-
pears that the material was placed on the
parking in front of vacant property during
the recent reconstruction of the City and
Suburban railroad on New York avenue for
the purpose of preserving it for use, as a
public economy in the repair of streets and
roads. 1t is said on behalf Of the District
authorities that the material Is being re-
moved by the superintendent of roads, and
that he expects to have it all away within
week or two. 1t Is suggested in the report
TO the Commissioners that no apology for
the action taken is necessary. and that if,
In any view of the case, an offense has been
committed, it is believed the removal of
the material will fully condone it.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. May 2-There Is a
well-defined movement on foot among
democrats In Ohio to wrench the democratic
party in this state from the control of
Bryan influence, and to name the demo-
cratic candidate for governor and control
the delegation to the national convention.
An effort has been made to secure the
support of John r. Mclean to this move
ment An emissary has waited on him,
but with what result is not known yet
According to the best information here
Mclean is to be given second place on the
national ticket in return for his active
support of the program, which contem-
plates taking the state from the control Of
Bryan. If Mr.. Mclean consents to this
program the unification of antf-Bryan
forces will be undertaken with a vim.
Republican Party Factions
There is unmistakable evidence that a
red-hot night is to be made for Judge Mesh
by the administration from this on. Rep
resentative c. w. F. Dick is out for the
permanent craftsmanship of the convention.
and it is said that Hanna is going to begin
the effort of crushing the powerful organi-
cation that Harry Daugherty has built uD
while lot of people were smiling over his
race for governor
Thef3 seems ground for the belief that
there may be Kurtz-Bushnell faction. a
Jones' McKisson faction. a foraker faction.

LONDON, May Representative Of the
Filipino junta say that they have received
telegram from Aguinaldo, dated April 30.

nothing to do with the present peace nego-

Quoted by a group of half-cast and creoles
who are anxious for peace in the expecta-
ton of getting high offices under a new

Several of these men, Aguinaldo says, are
members of the Filipino congress, where
they are endeavoriEg to Outvote him.
Agunaldo added that he had had no d.
rect negotiations with the Americans since
the fall of Malolos, when certain proposals
passed between Mr. D. c. Worcester of the
American Philippine commission and a rep
resentative of Aguinaldo looking to a peace
based upon independence with an American
alliance.
Aguinaido disavows the present negotia-
items, and adds that under no circumstances
Will he accept an American protectorate.
The dispatch concludes with contempt

to act on behalf of Aguinaldo than has

THE BALTIMORE ELECTION.
Big Vote POlled and Both Sides
Claim Victory.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Nd, May 1.-The city cleo
ton is passing off quietly today. and very
heavy vote is being polled, more than two
thirds having been cast before noon. Very
few arrests have been made and COM
plants Of unfairness or fraud are ex-
trenely rare. 1t is estimated by the lead
ers of both parties that at least 10000
votes out of a total registration of 121, 900
will be polled. The democrats claim that
the vote up to the present time indicates a
victory for Mr. Hayes, the democratic NOM
inee.
At the republican headquarters this Is de-
MED. and it is asserted that republicans
generally are voting for Mr.. Master, and
that the mayor will be reelected by a safe
majority. Betting on the result took de-
cided boom this morning, and many bets
were made with the odds three to one in
favor of Hayes. Both parties are using
money without stint. SO confident are the
democrats in the probable result that they
are preparing to celebrate the victory after
the returns are announced tonight.

HIS CLAIM DISALLO"ED.
Chief Engineer Melville Denied In
creased Pay.

Assistant Controller Mitchell sustains the
auditor for the Navy Department in dis
allowing a claim for increased pay made by
George w. Melville chief engineer of the
navy. on &C count of his advance in numbers
and a promotion in his grade under the
special act of Congress of 1890. Chief En-
gineer Melville based his claim the
ground that he is entitled to be credited
under the law with the time OF service he
regards as having gained through his pro-
motion.
Mr.. Mitchell holds that the time gained in
the manner mentioned is constructive serv-
ice only. and cannot be taken into account
in computing his pay for any time prior to
the passage of the act under which he was
promoted. AS he has been in receipt of a
higher rate of pay as chief of the bureau of
steam engineering since the passage of the
act promoting him. the act does not ope-
rate to increase his pay since its passage.
