THE IsTHMUs SITUATION.
Washington Puts a Quietus on the
Rumors of Intervention.


Washington, Aug. 2S.-No official adj
vices have been received respecting the
situation in the insurrectionary parts
Of Colombia and Venezuela since Il
brief report of the arrival at Colon of
the gunbOat Machias.
The officials are not disturbed by this
absence of report. They know that
the American coIsuls are thoroughly
alive to the necessity of keeping the
government here Informed of impor-
tant developments, and they reason
that either nothing has happened to
change the status at the iSthmuS or in
Venezuela or that, owing to the cutting
off of telegrapbic communication be-
tween the coast and the interior. ii is
not possible for Commander Sargent
of the Machias OF for our consllls to ac-
quaint themselves with what is going
on in the interior.
1t may be stated, in view of reports
that our government intends TO inter
rene in the interests of one party or
the other, that the government here
will adhere strictly to its well estab-
lisllcd rule Of nonintervention. Moth
ing but an interruption of isthmian
traffic. which the United States is
pledged to keep open, or threat di-
rected against American interests could
induce the government to interfere

Peking. Aug. 2S.-An imperial edict
forbdding the importation of arms and

fact that the prohibition applies TO the
government and that it is part of the
Chinese punishment. The edict makes
1t appear to be merely the govern
ment's voluntary act prohibiting Chi
nese subjects from importing arms and
munitions, as the country is disturbed

CHANGE IN ARC LAMPS.

The Commissioners Notified of Pro-
posed Substitution.
The United States Electric Lighting Com
pany has notified the District Commission
ers that 1t will meet the request of the
electrical department that the open style
of arc electric lights shall be changed to
the enclosed style, the latter being regarded
as an Improvement over the old and less
liable to give out. The electrical engineer,
Walter A. Allen, in reporting upon the
matter to the Commissioners, says:
For several months past the department
has been experimenting with a new style
and system of arc lamps with the view of
finding one that would reduce TO A mini
mum the great number of outages in the
arc lighting service.
These new lamps burn with greater
steadineSs than the old, they diffuse their
rays better and are not subject to the fire.
quent breaking down of the circuit, as is
varying from 1900 to 5000 volts. Moreover,
they meet all the requirements of law in
regard to candle power
II would also recommend that the cleo
trio lighting company be permitted to sub
stitute the inclosed series arc lamps for the
remainder of the present open series arc
lamps, the advantages of the former over
the latter being practically the same as in
the case of the low tension lamps. While
the voltage of the circuit remains the same
the regulation is greatly improved and the
danger of breaking down the circuit great
ly reduced
The change will cost the electric company
about S27 900.

Eugene e. Gaddis and others have sub

avenue as driving street and natural

TONERS, sis so easy and uniform that II
must always be distinguished over all other
routes out of the city toward the north.
Heretofore it has been blocked by streets
crossing it at both ends, but the extensions
now fully authorized have remedied this
and prepared the way for the expenditure Of
the moderate sum of r-oney required to
open and extend it.
This work. when finished will to a great
extent relieve the congested condition of

Reported Cause for Change in POrtu-
gals Representatives.

Shortly after the death of President Nc
Kinley the Viscount de Santo-Thyrso, Por-
tuguese minister to the United States, was
summoned to Lisbon. According to NJ
Luis Augusta de Maura Pinto d'Azendo
Taveira. at present charge daffaires of
Portugal in this city, the viscount was not
made aware of the purposes of his sum-
mons to the Portugal capital. NJ. Taveira
stated today that, further than this, he
knows nothing in regard to the report that
the viscount's call to Portugal had to do
with a premature announcement of the
death of President Mckinley. When asked
whether error of this sort on the part
of a foreign minister is regarded as sufff-
cient ground for his removal, NJ Tayeira
said that 1t all depended on the temper of
the government in question
The State Department officials expressed
incredulity and surprise when told of the
appointment of a new minister from Portu-
gal, and especially of the allegation that
the change was made because of a prema-
ture announcement Of President McKin-
leys death by Viscount Santo-Thyrso This
reached them that such error had been
made. and they were quite sure that, as
far as the United States government was
concerned, 1t had not been embarrassed
by any act of the former minister, for the
records Of condolences received at the de-
partment disclose the fact that Portugal
conformed closely to the rules observed
by the other nations of the world
LISBON, November 1.-Senior Horta
Machado has been appointed Portuguese
minister at Washington.

CHANGE IN SYSTEM.
Amendment Proposed to Law Govern
ing Amendments of Magistrates.


Mr. James L. Pugh, assistant attorney
for the District, was consulted today with
reference to a change in the magistrate
system, which is to be inaugurated under
the District code. Several members Of the
bar called upon him and asked him to dc
what he can in order to have the law sc
changed that one of the magistrates shall
be designated to try a. certain class OF
cases.
1t is deemed desirable by those who called
upon the attorney to have magistrate try
all cases of women and children who are
sent to the house of detention and also
cases of children who are heard on infor-
nations filed by the board of children's
guardians. Under the law all children I'M
der sixteen years old who are arrested are
placed temporarily in the house Of deten-
ton, and in the discretion of the Commits
sioners women may be cared for there.
1t Is Mr.. Pugh's idea that the law might
be amended so that the President would
designate one of the magistrates for this
work. Mr. Pugh says that such a provision
would in his opinion be wise one, and
much good, he thinks. would be accom-
plished by such a change. Children
charged with offenses would not have to
go before the Police Court and come in
contact with old Offenders.
The same rule would apply, he says, to
women who are arrested for the first time
and who have not hitherto spent time IN
cells with old offenders and hardened
criminals Mr. Pughs is heartily in favor
of such a change, which, he says, can be
conducive to nothing but good. and which
will also relieve the Police Court.
