Tolstoi readily responding.
Then a conversation commenced, the
car asking his guest for an opinion upon
the imperial proposal for the limitation of
ornaments. Count Tolstoi replied that he
could only believe in it when his majesty
should set the example to other nations.
ON the car mentioning the difficulties of
the problem and the necessity for united
aid of the great powers, the count softened
somewhat and expressed the hope that his
majesty would he able to attain some def
mite results, or, at any rate, to formulate
some workable plan at the conference.
Tho car, thanking him for his good
wishes, said he would be pleased if Toll
stoi could be induced to lend his genius to
the solution of the question. and the count
rejoned that the emperor might count upon
his cooperation, for he was already en-
gagged upon work dealing with the ques-

Comparative Statement.

The following comparison of the esti-
mated cost of the Potomac river improve
ment at Washington and the foregoing es-
Inmates of cost of improvement of the Ana
costa and reclamation of its fats may be
of interest:
The Potomac river improvement covers
about three and one-half miles of river.
ana the area of flats reclaimed is 1879 acres,
OF winch gu acres are land. The original
estimate of cost of the project-which was
adopted In lSS2-for Improvement of the
channels by dredging and deposit of the
dredged material on the fats was 81 116 365
The area of the fats, above Long bridge
was to be raised to an elevation of about
thirteen feet above mean low tide and the
area below the bridge TO be filled in 10 the
same elevation along the middle longitude
nal line, but to slope toward each channel
so as to have an elevation of SIX feet above
low tide at the margins of the fill Shrink
age and settling of the deposited material
made 1t necessary, In 1897, to increase the
estimate TO a total of 81. 9a3. OO0
THE proposed Anacostia river improve
ment covers about seven miles OF river and
the area of reclamation would be about
1889 acres Qncluding reservoirs above Ben
ming BRIDGE. The estimated cost of the
low-grade filling would be s., $50 800 or of
the high-grade $685.. $50. If the work be
limited to the part below Benning bridge.
the area reclaimed will be about Si3 acres,
at cost, to low grade, of 81, I94, 10 or
about cents per square foot"

The Project.

Inc resolution cans LOT a PROJECT ana eS-
innate for the Improvement of the river
and the reclamation of its flats from the
District line to the mouth; and two (alter-
nate) projects and estimates are submitted
above.
While the high-grade filling would be the
more desirable, its cost, Sc 967, $50, would
be so great as to render its undertaking
improbable The estimate for the low
grade filling within the same limits is much
less, viz, $3.50. 800. The improvement on
this latter basis, if confined to sections
and extending from the mouth of the
river to Benning bridge, would cost 81 1874.

are beyond the city limits, their improve
ment might be deferred and attention be
given for the present to the portion of the
river in front Of the city where interests

TOLEDO, o., Dec. 27.-Judge Morris
III common pleas court yesterday ren.
dered an unusual decision as to the
rights of striking workmen The men,
bers of the Bicycle Workers union
struck at the Standard Tube works. A
temporary injunction was granted re-
straining the strikers from patrolling
the works and accosting and intimi-
dating employees who took their places.
This injunction Judge Morris dis
solved, holding that the strikers had a
perfect right to keep piclsets about the
works and to talk to workmen and urge
them to come out. He held that there
was no positive evidence of threats and
that the number of men employed at
the works exceeded the number of
strikers usually kept on picket duty, so
there could be no danger of personal
violence. The case will be appealed.

Alleged Plans of Irishmen.

Alleged Plans of Irishmen.
OMAHA, Dec. 26.-''There is some
thing more than likelihood that the
pro Boer agitation, now so general
throughout the United States, will lead
to the resuscitation of the once cele-
brated organization among Irish Amer
leans, known as the Fenians, which
planned and executed an invasion of
Canada in 1866
"Intimations have reached Omaha
from other cities" the Bee says, THAT
an address, calling for a renewal of the
Fenian organization and the Clan-na-
Gael had been sent out from this city to
Irish Americans in other places.
Enquiry developed the fact that
there is some sort of a secret movement
on foot among the Irish enthusiasts in
this and neighboring cities, which has
for its object some decisive steps of
more belligerent character toward Eng
land than simple declaration of SYM
pathy for the Beers.
''The movement here will be inaugu-
rated by meeting to be held next Sun
day, when some measures are expected
10 De laken. Inc cOnVlCGlOn is QulCe
general among them that there should
be an organization effected which would
make its existence effective, if only by
threat of repeating the Fenian inva-
sion of 1866, as it would deter the Brit
ish from sending any more troops to
Africa.
Prominence has doubtless been given
to Omaha and Nebraska in the rumors
of this movement because of the activ-
ity of the Iishmen of Nebraska in land
league affairs within the last dozen
years and because of the further fact
that the bones of the most prominent of
the leaders of the invasion of over 33
years ago rest in an Omaha cemetery.
Beneath handsome monument erected
over his grave by the Irish nationalists
in 1895, General John O'Neill sleeps i'll

cemetery just beyond the western limits
of the city. He commanded the invad-
ing Irishmen at the battle at Ridgeway,
