Receive Encouraeement
IMPROVEMENTS MADE.
Steamer Overhauled and to BE Re-
fitted and Refurnished.


The Norfolk and Washington line steamer
Washington, which has been at Sparrows
Point, near Baltimore. for the past six
weeks undergoing an overhauling, arrived
here last night about $50 o'clock. She
made the trip from Baltimore in less than
liz hours. The steamer was under the
command Of Capt. Chap Posey, and Mr..
Levi Woodbury.. president of the Norfolk
and Washington company; General Mana
ger John Callahan. Messrs. Pearson, Fra
zee, Graves and Wheeler of the board Of
directors. and Messrs. Williams and Smith
of the companys staff here, made the trip
from Baltimore
The Washington is now an exact dupli-
cate Of the steamer Norfolk. which was
rebuilt last fall. While away she has been
fitted with four new steel boilers and has
had her machinery thoroughly overhauled
Twenty-siX new state rooms have been
added on her hurricane deck, giving her
ample sleeping accommodations for the
travel during the summer months. These
rooms are large, and are fitted up with the
latest improved marine plumbing.
The other rooms on the steamer have
been greatly improved, and the boat is now
regarded as being one of the finest In the
Chesapeake bay fleet. The test made of
Baltimore is taken as an indication that
she Is very fast, probably the fastest
steamer in the Norfolk and Washington
feet.
The Washington will be handsomely fur
nished, and will shortly take her place on
the Norfolk route. The steamer Newport
News will then be laid up

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1t is amusing or would be, did they not
smack so strongly of disloyalty, to read
the various criticisms Of the means adopt
ed by Funston for the capture of Aguinal-
do. 1 beg to call the attention of these
critics to the proclamation of Aguinaldo
as recently published, in which he pro-
posed in the exchange of prisoners to give
one American for three F'ilipinos- Who
ever heard of such a proposition that
between parties at war? But article of
the proclamation is one that especially de-
serves the attention of these critics 1t
reads as follows:
Article 3. The promoters of the So
called federal party shall be submitted as
traitors to a most summary court-martial
and those who stimulate the invaders to
pursue and persecute our fellow country
men who do not wish to Identify them
selves herewith, shall be punished with
special severity. and after those who are
guilty have been sentenced they shall be
captured and punished wherever they may
be and by any means which may be pos
sible."
According to this non-combatants who
favor stopping the war by recognizing
American sovereignty are to sbe tried by a
summary cOurt-martial and be severely
punished. If the United States government
We're to adopt this plan 1t would go hard
with the Funston critics, both here and
elsewhere. So, too, this plan proposes to
sentence those non-combatants before they
are captured, and, of course, without trial,
for 1t says that after they are sentenced
they shall be captured and punished wher-
ever they may be. And, to cap the climax,
it says that this shall be done by any
means which may be possiblep'
1t has long been an adage that all means
to overcome the enemy are fair in war,
and such has been the practice in all wars
and probably always will be while people
or nations continue to war with each other.
The only thing unusual in Funstons cap
ture of Aguinaldo was the brilliancy Of
the conception and the bravery and nerve
exhibited by him and his companions in
its execution. No matter how much the
anti-imperialists may criticise his action
the people at large not only justify it, but
recognize it as the most brilliant act of
the war, and rejoice in his promotion by
the President as a reward. If as is hoped
and believed Aguinaldo's capture will be
the means Of bringing hostilities to an end,
every loyal man and woman will rejoice
perialists alone excepted.
Whatever may be the views entertained
by any citizen as to the propriety or policy
Of our taking the Philippines in the first
tnstance-and many doubt it-still after
it was accomplished by the treaty with
zen to sustain the government in it's ef-
forts to subdue the insurrection and bring
peace, order and civilization and prosperity
to the Inhabitants Of the islands And as
I view 1t every loyal citizen will do this
Those who oppose the efforts Of the gov
cupy precisely the same position that the
northern "copperheads'' did during the
civil war; and no matter what excuses they
may offer for their opposition, loyal peo-
pie everywhere must regard them and
history Will SO record them.

An OhiOan Speaks for Washington
Childhood.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In your issue Of April g. page 16, notice
the communication Of Mrs. Johnson, who
seems to be greatly annoyed by the
''whooping and yelling Of the children on
the street" God bless the babies! Their
whooping and yelling on the streets Of
Washington ought to waken the people up
to the fact that their frail bodies require
oxygen, and their gleeful actions ought to
be appreciated. In your city, where the
homes are mostly built on the street line
with no large front lawn to play upon
would say give them all the liberty your
streets afford, and during the heated term
allow the dear children all the liberty pos
sible. Mrs. Johnson may know where her
children are, and 1 hope she does, but her
neighbors' children are God-given also, and
their glee, their enJoyments, ought to be
encouraged. Let them yell" "holler' and
be babies among babies For Of such IS
the kingdom of heaven" Out here in the
wild and woolly west We encourage chill
dren's enjoyment. Let them yell"

LIBRARY COMMISSION.
Meeting Called to Discuss Plans fO
Laying Corner Stone.

Meeting Calleu DISCUSS PianS 1Or
Laying Corner Stone.
A meeting of the Washington public IL
brary commission has been called by its
chairman, District Commissioner John W.
Ross. for this afternoon, to discuss the
question of formal exercises in connection
with the laying of the corner stone Of the
library now in course OF construction on
Mount Vernon square. The structure is
being erected, with funds contributed by
MI. Andrew Carnegie, and the foundation
walls are completed, the steel girders for
the lower floor are in position In the CEN
tral section, and everything is said to be
in readiness to begin work on the outer
walls. Therefore, it is stated, the question
should be settled at once, In order not to
delay the completion of the building
1t is understood that Mr. Ross and Com
missioners Macfarland and Beach, also
members of the commission, believe it in
advisable to make the laying of the corner
stone formal affair, and it is not expect
ed that the other members of the COM
mission, Col. Theo. A. Bingham and Mr.
Theo. w. Noyes. will disagree with them
In the matter. Mr.. Carnegie is absent
from the country, and it would, therefore
be impossible to secure his presence upon
the occasion. The conditions in the inclo-
sure are unfavorable, and it is said these
reasons influence Mr.. Ross and his asso-
ciates to believe 1t inadvisable to have any
formal exercises when the stone is laid
They believe it would be better and more
agreeable to the people of the District to
omit such ceremonies, and make the dedi-
year hence, an affair Of ceremonious OBJ
servance. However, the question will, 1t
is understood, be settled at the meeting of
the commission this afternoon.

BORING THE RIVER BED,
Operations Will Probably Be begun
Early Next Week.

The making of borings in the river above
the Long bridge to determine the founda-
tion for the new highway bridge will prob
ably be commenced the early part of next
week. and If good weather prevails suffl-
cient borings can be made within two or
three weeks to allow the board of army Off
GERS, of which Colonel Allen Is president, to
decide on the location of the bridge.
Borings on the site of the proposed memo
rial bridge show that rock exists thirty-six
feet below mean low water in the middle of
the channel and about twenty feet near the
shore line. There is no record to show the
condition OF the foundation where the high
way bridge is to be built, but 1t is generally
oelieved that rock IS to be found at a great
er depth than farther up the river
until these borings have been taken. For
the highway bridge rock is not absolutely
necessary for the foundation, although it

The Industrial Development of WASH
ingtOn.

To the Editor of The Evening Star;
Your editorial announcement that the d.
rectors Of the Board Of Trade are consid-
efLns plan for attracting manufacturers
10 the District as place in which to es-
taollsh their Industries should be welcome
news to all of our citizens who take a sane
ana unseIflsh view of what ought to be the
character Of growth and DEVELOPMENT Of the
national capital For a long time the
healthy sentiment that has always pre-
vailed among the bulk of the people of
washington IN favor of encouraging, by
every legitimate means, manufacturing en-
terprise in the District has been held in
check by a few citizens who hugged the
delusion that Washingtons progress could
best be attained by inducing wealthy per-
sons from different parts Of the country
10 make their homes here, pointing out to
such persons that the form of local goyern-
ment was of a character that insured a
conservation of their interests: that Wash
llston was residential city, not given
over TO smoky manufacturing chmneys:
that mere their eyes would not be offended
by the spectacle of the "griny leefons of
the shops and all the other unpleasant
evidences of commercial and manufacture
Ing prosperity. And such persons have
come, but beyond building their residences
and disbursing so much of their incomes a g
was or Is necessary to properly maintain
months in each year, how has Washington
been the gamer by their presence? We
are becoming, II we have not become, top
heavy in our civic growth. The foundation
of city's upbuilding. like that of ma
tions, is in its varied manufacturing and
commercial enterprises; in the constant en-
ployment of its inhabitants; in a system of
taxation that equitably distributes it's bur-
dens and in the cultivation of social rela-
tions that discard the notion that the ideal
city is made up of a wealthy, leisure class
on the one hand and its servitors on the
other.
Let the Board of Trade and the citizens of
Washington be permitted to hear from the
formers committee on manufactures pre-
sided over by that kindly. intelligent and
altogether conservative gentleman, Mr. Ben
| Miller. l have no doubt that he and his
committee are ready to unfold plans for
Washington's advantage that will commend
themselves to all thinking citizens

There was big time at Buffalo
exposition Thursday. 1t was

the crowd was immense, and the
exposition committee tried itself
to make the occasion notable. The
most important event was speech
by the president.
Mr.. Mckinley discussed the
value of expositions and reviewed
the progress of the world generally
and the United States in particu-
lar, pointing out the unparalleled
prosperity existing in this country
at this tune The review led up
to the duty of the present, which
was discussed as follows:
"We have a vast and intricate
business built up through year. of
toll and struggle, IN which every
part of the country has had it's
stake, which will not permit of
either neglect, or undue selfish
ness. No narrow, sordid policy
will subserve it. The greatest

tect our industries at home, why
should they not be employed to

abroad. Then, too, we have
inadequate steamship service.
New lines of steamers have already
been put in commission hstween
the Pacific coast ports of the
United States and those ON the
western coast of Mexico and Con
tral South America. These should
be followed up with direct steam
ship lines between the eastern
part of the United States and
South American ports. One of
the needs of the times is direct
commercial lines from our vast
fields of production to the fields
of consumption that we have but
barely touched. Next in advantage
to having the thing to sell is to
have the convenience to carry 1t
to the buyer. We must encour-
age our merchant marine. We
must have more ships. They
must be under the American flag,
built and manned and owned by
Americans. These will not only
be profitable in u commercial
sense, they will be messengers of
peace and amity wherever they
