ALLEGED TO BE INTRUDERs.
Lessees Of Wharf Enter Complaint
Against University Crews.

A number of persons leasing wharfing
privileges in the vicinity Of the foot of 32d
or High street. Georgetown, have entered
complaint with the District Commissioners
against the occupation of the end of the
street by the old Columbia Athletic Club
boathouse. which Is now used as a boat
house by the Georgetown University crews.
The Commissioners have called the atten-
ton of the university authorities to the
complaints, saying that 1t is claimed the
boathouse not only illegally occupies a por-
tion Of the public highway, but interferes
with the proper use Of the wharf properties
on both sides Of that street. The lessees of
the adjoining wharfs, 1t is stated, were as
sured the free insress and egress to and
from High street"
The Commissioners ask the university au-
thorsties to inform them as early as possible
by what authority to right of such occu-
pancy as now exists Is claimed, and of any
other terms or conditions upon which such
use Of the property Is based. The COM
plafnants In the case also denounce the noat
In front Of the boathouse as an obstruction
to the damage Of the wharf properties on
either side. According to lease accom-
panying the papers before the Commission
era. a lease to the Columbia Boat Club
was executed in 1880 for ten years and was
then extended for seven years. the club
paying 800 q year.

CONSISTENCY" in the Philippines
Debate.
To the Editor OF The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In your comments on Senator Morgan's
recent speech for the Philippine civil gov
eminent bill-the governing of the Fuipinos
without their consent-you say that while
The has Endorsed much of what his party
has done In the south toward excluding the
negroes from the polls" nevertheless in
matters Of International moment he is first
OF all an American-his craftsmanship stops
a the seashore.'
IL the governing Of the Philippine Islands
Is not domestic question with what gov
eminent can IL be an International affair?
1t Is purely domestic, and the senator gives
the country the benefit of his wisdom. He
holds that the Anglo Saxon is the ruling
race OF the world-certainly Of the inferior
races-and that when an American finds
from experience that certain course
should be pursued the senator holds that
the one who acts from experience is better
to Judge than he who sets up a theory
that the American in the south is a better
judge of what is best between the races
than he who has not come in contact with
the negroes.
Senator Hoar. on the other hand-and ne
has been compared with Charles Sumner
is championing theory for a lower race.
We remember much of such teaching
thirty-fye years ago-how We mixed In
churches, &c. and how we gradually came
to change our very practices. We went to
the south to show the people there how to
live in a new way with our colored brother.
And there was learning as result-but
we did the learning.
There is no inconsist ency in Mr.. Morgan's
acts. Is he not treating a question Of races
the same way at home that he treats IL at
a distance?
Senators Morgan and Hoar are the two
consistent statesmen OF the age

the owner, as such successor. of all the
property and assets of the Great Falls Man
ufacuring Company. This last-named COM
pany brought an action in 1889 in this court
Court of Claimsl, No. 1i4I6 In which dam
ages in the sum Of 100000 were claimed
against the United States for the occupa-
ton OF lands belonging to said company in
the vicinity of the Great Falls of the Poto-
mac. and the appropriation of certain of its
water rights at said Great Falls.
The present claimant in 1895 brought the
above action. No. 10 1853, for $125 900, for
other damages arising out Of the alleged
occupation and use of the property and
water rights Of the claimants, which it had
acquired as successor Of Great Falls Manu-
featuring Company, as aforesaid, and not
covered by the claim In the former case.
On motion of the claimant, these two
actions have been consolidated. and the
total amount claimed in both actions Is the
amount claimed by the claimant in the
present action
s-.@ The Compromise.
Negotiations for q compromise have re-
Gently been carried on between the claim
ant and the War Department, in which ne
gotiations the War Department comedies
the alleged occupation and appropriation of
the property and water rights of the claim
ant and suggests as a reasonable allow
ance for all claims in the premises the sum
Of $63, 7G6, being the amount reported by the
ruary %. 1863, a just amount of COM
pensation to the then claimant for the occu-
patton and appropriation by the United
States of substantially the property and
water rights to which the present action
relates. provided the claimant Is In law en-
titled to any compensation therefor
1t also appears that the claimant has en-
tered into an agreement with the War De-
partment (embodied in the deed herein
after mentioneD to permit the United
States to use a very much greater amount
or water than it is at present using for the
supply Of the city of Washington when
the need for said extra supply of water
shall become manifest. Further the claim
ant has executed and delivered to the Sec
rotary OF War a deed conveying to the
United States the land and water rights in
question. pursuant to the requirements of
the War Department in that regard.
The title to the property in question.
which was declared by the board of arbi-
tration above referred to to be complete
in the then claimant, which finding was
approved by this court in the case Of the
Great Falls Manufacturing Company
against the United States volume 49, Ct.
Cts. R.. page 161. has been shown by evil
dence which seems satisfactory to be now
ton.
The decision Of this court in the case of
the Great Falls Manufacturing Company
supra. affirmed by the Supreme Court Of
the United States in 112 U. g., 645, seems to
be absolutely decisive of the law Of the
present case, and the view taken by the
Secretary of War that the amount of $685.
766 would be reasonable and just COM
pensatton for the damages set forth in the
two actions as now consolidated seems to
me to be abundantly authorized by all the
facts in the case.

The French Premier Dr. Combes; NJ. Eugene

The "Debats," in leading article. considers

does not mean that universal suffrage has any
