the Editor of The Evening S.ar.

To the Editor of The Evening S.ar:
Relating to the published determination
of the bookbinders of the government print
ing office to go out in body in case Mil
Ter returns to work. and that the entire
office may be called out" in sympathy,
the following extract from chapter 30, Re-
v1sed Statutes of the United States, APP
proved July 81, 1861 (see sections $780, 1896
and 551S, Revised Statutes of the United
States, edition of 1879, may be read with
interest.
BE it enacted, &c: That If two more
ersons within any state or territory of the
United States shall conspire, together
TO oppose by force the authority Of the gov
eminent of the United States or by force
to prevent, hinder or delay the execution
of any law of the United States or
by force or intimidation or threat to pre-
vent any person from accepting or holding
any office trust or place of confidence
under the United States each and every
person offending shall be guilty of a
high crime, and upon conviction thereof
shall be punished by a fine not less

imprisonment, with or without hard labor.
the court shall determine for a period
rot less than six months nor greater than
six years, by both such fine and i'm

Hindering work ordered by Congress and
preventing others from holding office are
the points of interest, as they may cover a
great deal. LEX.

DEEPENING THE CHANNEL.
Active Operations for Retaining the
AnacoStia Flats

Active operations for the deepening of
ern branch, from the channel of the river
where it enters the harbor to the navy
yard bridge, and the reclaiming of a part
Of the flats have been going on for the
past three days. The hydraulic dredge
Admiral Dewey is pumping the mud she
sucks up from the bottom into the basin
built on the flats in front of the grounds
of the Government Hospital for the In
sane, thus accomplishing two objects at
once. the deepening of the channel and
the retaining of the flats as an addition
to the government property.
The new channel starts about the middle
of the middle of the mouth of the Ana
costa river where 1t joins the Potomac
and will run in almost direct line to
the navy yard, thus avoiding the many
crooks and curves existing in the present
channel. 1t will be twenty-four feet deep
and over 100 feet wide giving plenty of
room for the vessels to go to and from the
navy yard and for all purposes of com
merce up the Eastern branch. The dredge
is now working along the Potomac end
of the branch and is pumping the mud
through line of pipe several hundred
feet in length to the flats
The portion of the flats to be reclaimed
lies directly in front of the asylum grounds
and will, when completed, add over twenty
five acres to the government property No
attempt is being made to reclaim the
ground on the branch front of private
property
The contractors, Sanford & Brooks of
Baltimore, will push the work but 1t will
be several months before it Is completed
and it may be next spring before the new
channel Is entirely ready for use.

Blessing Bestowed Upon Casket.

After the sermon the casket, which rested
at the head of the aisle before the chance1
was blessed by Bishop Rocker. The casket
was covered with a white gold-embroid-
cred robe. and the soemnity of the scene
was further heightened by the somber
black which overhung the altar on the high
arch above, covering the front of the choir
loft Outside the church was also draped
in black. The priests and altar boys in
the robes and vestrflents of black, added to
the impressiveness. the only spot of color
being the crimson worn by Bishop Rocker
AS sign of the mourning of the church
the bishop also wore purple collar.
The mass was celebrated by the Rev. JOS
Francis MCGEE, the pastor of the Shrine Of
the Sacred Heart. He had for his assist
ants Rev. Father Hannah of st. Martins
as deacon: Rev Father Buckley of ST Mat
thew'S as sub deacon; Rev. Father Walsh
of ST Paul's as assistant to Bishop Rocker
Mr.. Frank Crowley as master of ceremonies
and Mr. George Altofer as censor bearer.
At st. Stephens Church.
Solemn high requiem mass was cele-
brated at st. Stephens Church in honor of
the deceased pope at 9:3O o'clock this
morning. The services were impressive and
the choir rendered a well-arranged program
of music most effectively. Rev w. S.
Caughey, pastor OF ST. Stephens, said the
mass, and he was assisted by Rev Father
O'Connor as deacon, Rev. Father Smythe
as sub deacon and Mr. Stanton as master
of ceremonies. The church presented a
most somber appearance both inside and
out, being draped in heavy black, with the
altar adorned with purple, the official sign
of mourning
Solemn requiem mass for the pope will
be celebrated at Holy Name Church Mon
day morning next at $50 o'clock. The mass
will be sung by Very Rev. DIR. Solier,

Underwater, Va, July 24.-For the
first time since the Langley airship expedi-
ton arrived here workmen were busy this
morning in preparing the small model
track upon the superstructure for an ex-
pertinent. 1t is now evident that the small
flying machine, which is to be tried before
the principal one, will be sent off from the
model track. a car has not yet been placed
into position there. but this will probably
be constructed soon from the woodwork
which was yesterday hoisted to the top.
Chief Assistant Charles r. Marley, at
present in command, continues to refuse to
give out any information as to the probable
date of the earliest test of model, but it
is believed If the present plans are unin-
terrupted that an experiment will be pulled
off within a few days. Prof. Langley is not
now expected to witness the preliminary
tests 1t is really a question as to his
presence here when the great aeroplane Is
launched.

Pope's Greatness and Power.

Bishop Rocker drew a lesson, however.
from the greatness and power of the pope
in the fact that he, like all the rest of man
kind. must render an account to his Maker
of the talents which had been given him to
use on this earth. The pope, he said had
reached the pinnacle of glory ambition and
power: no possible wish could he have that
was not gratified. Yet he, too, must die;
he, too. must render up to the Master a
close reckoning, must leave not the small
est blot upon his record unexpiated.
The bishop spoke of the dangers that be-
set the church at the time of Leo's Access
sion, and he remarked upon the wonderful
manner in which matters had been ad-
justed, these dangers warded off and the
church brought to the highest point in eff
cheney and power for good. He referred to
upon the pope as the head of the church.
and said that while any pope would be
mOurned for his impersonal glory and
power. Leo, standing out, he does, such
unique, powerful and glorious figure, If
not the most illustrious one in the history
of the church, made the services now being
held in his honor everywhere all the more
impressive and sincere
Bishop Rocker said it was not because
any one doubted for an instant. or had the
slightest hesitation in expressing the ut
most hope in the faultlessness of the record
which he could hand to his Master, that
these services were being held it was be-
cause such a reckoning must be SO true
and strict that not the slightest STAIN
fault, may be overlooked. Pope Leo may
have had such a blot and for this reason
1t was in personal remembrance that the
services were being held.

Water Will Not Hurt Model.

The dip of the model into the waves after
its propelling force has been exhausted
Will not incapacitate 1t for other immedi-
ate voyages unless some unforeseen &C
cident occurs. Prof Langley's invention
has been so perfected in this respect that
there will be no danger for either model
or big machine in being submerged, when
its force has been spent. After the trial
the model will be removed to the boat
house by n force of wOrkmen in the tug
d. NJ. Key, when Its engine will be started
for subsequent test.
If possible calm weather will be selected
for the trip this having been found in
former experiments to be the most favor
able, but It is not an essential COndi-
ton. 1t has been demonstrated that the
machine will make Roadway against fair
ly good breeze. By means of the revolving
table upon which the Superstructure of
the ark rests the ship be pointed in
any direction for the start without the
