BURNING OF REFUSE
ON PUBLIC DUMPS.
NIGGARDLY POLICY OF CONGRESS.
4 Larger Appropriation Wanted for
the Disposal of miscellaneous
Refuse-CompIaints From
Business Houses.

The niggardly policy of Congress to-
| ward the District of Columbia wa.
never better illustrated than in the ap.
preparations act for the present fisca
year. In order to keep appropriation!
down, and to make a reasonable showing
for economy. the National Legislator,
| decreed that the collection of ashes ant
miscellaneous refuse should be made &
public charge only from private resi-
dences AS a consequence the disposal
Of such refuse from business houess.. res
taurants, hotels, and apartment houses has
been carried on by the old method. Pri-
| vate collectors have gathered this refuse,
and have dumped 1t where convenient. In
| most instances it has been burned on the
| dumps and the people in the neighborhood
! have been obliged to endure the smoke
and the stencil of the burning filth, with
| attendant illness and discomfort.
| Quite recently complaints have been re-
| ceived by the Commissioners. alike from
| the business houses and from the people
in the neighborhood of the dumps
Superintendent suffers Report.
Warner Stutler, the Superintendent of
Street Cleaning. in report upon the
subject yesterday, stated that in his an
nual report he had submitted an item for
the collection and disposal of ashes and
miscellaneous refuse from hotels, apart
meut houses, markets and other business
establishments, S35 600. He says further
that the appropriation for the present
year for the disposal of all classes of CITY
refuse was Sis, ,0O0, or S35 GOO less than
the amount asked for in the estimates
presented by the Commissioners last
year. He says that after the contracts
for The collection of garbage, night soil.
etc, had been provided for. there was
left only sS.421 for the inspection service
and incidental expenses. Under the cir
cumstances, Mr.. Stutler says, 1t was
found impossible to undertake the col
lection and disposal of ashes and mis-
cellaneous refuse from the business
houses.
During the last few weeks the Commits
sioners have received more than 100 let
ters from business houses asking that
steps be taken for the collection af ashes
and miscellaneous refuse from them as
well as from private residences.
Serious Lack of Funds
Mr.. Stutler states that in the absence of |
funds for this purpose ashes and refuse
have been removed from business places |
by private parties. and the work. there
fore is done without any supervision by
his department, carsing numerous com
plants of the reckless manner in which
he material in question is collected and
hauled through the streets. Furthermore,
he material is not separated, and the
mixture. which includes paper and other
waste that should be taken to |
he crematory, is dumped on the public
Jumps and on vacant lots. and thus be-
.omes a serious nuisance by reason of the
act that it is blown on 10 the streets. and
What remains on the dumps is frequently
et on fire by mischievous persons after
he dumpman has left for the day.

Lieutenant Spencer S. Wood. who
commanded the dispatch boat Dupont

witness. Lieutenant Wood related the
particulars of his mission as a dispatch
carrier from Admiral Sampson. lying
at Key West to Admiral Schley. who

OF which Iowa carried duplicates. and
had reached Cienfuegos several hours

The commodore hesitated some
about giving me coal. He did not think
he could spare coal at first I said it

BRITISH ARE cHAeRINNEr
Some London Papers Abandon Hope
Of Winning Cup

~ "
London. sept. 26.-The failure Of the
yachts to cover tine course in time to
constitute a race mas created general
disappointment in Great Britain, but
Ghagrin at the apparent poor showing
of Shamrock II overshadows all other
expressions Of feeling The great sub
urban population of London was kept
advised of the progress of events by
pyrOtechnics at the Alexandra and
sides Of the city. Steam launches pa
trolling the Thames from London
bridge to Westminster also served to
keep the eager multitude in touch with
the contest. Thousands of persons
gathered at these places. The sporting
clubs announced a very small amount of
waCers. King Edward displayed great
interest and was kept posted as to
every movement of the yachts.
The .9orning papers express the keen
est disappointment The Times, Daily
Mail. Daily Graphic. Morning Post and
Standard all contend that the weather
conditions were too fuy TO justify any
verdict on the uIdmate performance,
but even these journals admit that the
Shamrokc's performance was very dis
appointing The other papers virtually
aba ndon hope.
The Daily News SAYS: 1T is rather
strange that the British should main
tain such strong interest in race
whose history IS rather calling to their
national pride. The victorious ease
with which the Americans have re-
tanned the cup may have partly fed
that easy, placid and rather contemp-
tuous benevOlence with which America
may now be said to regard this coun-
try. There was nOt.hing( happily. in
the incidents of yesterdays races or
the Berkeley Oval events to change this
feeling"
The Daily Telegraph says: IF ever
there was a moral victory II was gained
by the Columbia and Captain Barr
The Daily Graphic regards the Co.
lumbia as a phenomenal boat"
