FOR NEW FIRE BOAT.
Commissioners Believe One May Be
Purchased With Available Fund.

Commissioner Macfarland is preparing to
make a recommendation to the Commits
sieners as to the construction Of the fire
boat. for which an appropriation Of $4,000
became available on the list Of July. Ever
since the appropriation act was passed. In
April. Mr.. Macfarland has been gathering
data as to the latest types Of fire boats and
their equipment. and the different methods
Of building them. In addition to what he
had accumulated before on the general SUBJ
ject.
New York has just built a fire boat. the
George B. Mcclellan, which has the very
latest improvements, and boats are now
under construction for other cities Com
missioner mcfarland is anxious that the
District shall have the very latest and best
that the appropriation will permit The
results of his inquiries indicate that al
though much more money Is being spent
on some Of the fire boats, satisfactory
one may be obtained within the approprta-
ton which will answer the Districts needs.
Commissioner Mcfarland will probably
recommend that, in accordance with what
seems to be the best practice elsewhere. a
frst-class firm of naval architects shall be
retained to prepare the plans and specifica-
tons and supervise the work Of the build
ers and that the contract be let in a COM
petition of responsible and experienced bid
ders on such plans and specifications.

Victory Next November.

A number of the District delegates to the
democratic national convention returned to
the city last night. Mr.. James L. Norris,
chairman, and Mr.. J. Fred Kelley, secre-
tary, Of the delegation, remained behind to
spend several days sightseeing. Those
who returned last evening were Delegates
E. B. Hay, John G. Campbell and John F.
Monaghan. and Alternates Thomas ]. Moore
and Smith Thompson, jr. Others of the
delegation are en- route home.
The District cast it's six votes for Parker
on the first ballot, although no public dec
laration had been made that such action
would be taken. The District also voted
as a unit for Mr.. Henry g. Davis for the
vice presidential nomination 1t Is quite
natural, therefore, that the returning dele
gates should be a unit in praise OF the
ticket The platform and the Parker teie-
gram are also sources of satisfaction TO
the local representatives of the party.
Mr.. Cotter T. Bride, an enthusiastic Bry-
ante and Hearst follower as well, has also
returned from st. Louis. He declares the
democratic party will win next November.
The ticket is one that all democrats can
support Mr.. Bride believes that Bryan
will be an active party worker, and that
his influence for the ticket will be telling.

Conditions in Iowa Circle
o the Editor Of The Evening Star.

TO the Editor of The Evening Star:
In response to the complaint by Mr.. e. 8
Doughty as to the bad conditions in Iowa
Circle. wish to make a statement through
your valuable paper in behalf of the coIored
residents of Northwest Washington. If he
Is prejudiced against the colored race las
presume he is). he should find some other
method to give vent to his feelings and not
willfully attack a colony OF residents who
go to the park in Iowa Circle to enjoy the
liberties set forth for them as well as him.
II he visited the park and could not find q
seat he should not have teopardized his
manly and chivalrous spirit by unjust ex-
aggeration. don't think the Commission
ers have established a Jim Crow law in
Iowa Circle. and Mr.. Doughty should start
early in order to secure one of the coveted
seats. pass and repass through the circle
and l have never witnessed the conditions
described by him. / suppose that every col
ored person who happens to stroll through
the park is a crap shooter or petty thief in
his estimation, but in this he Is sadly mis-
taken. 1t is true there are large number
of colored persons living in the vicinity OF
the park. l am satisfied that IL Major Syl-
vester knows that such conditions are true
he would order his men to keep a yieilant
lookout for such personS I see no reason
Ii the park Is so crowded as Mr. Doughty
asserts, why he does not enjoy his own
lawn where he will not have to fntermin-i
gle with obnoxious people. Washington's
parks are open to all who may see fit to use
them, SO long as they conduct themselves
properly. EUGENE r. JAAEa

SUGGESTS BURIAL IN MALL.
Disposition of Remains of Pierre
L'Enfant.

Commissioner mcfarland today received
letter from Mrs. Minnie F. Ballinger Of
1884 18th street northwest who suggests
that the body of Charles Pierre LEnfant,
who originally laid out the streets and ave-
nues Of Washington. be buried in the Mall.
Mrs. Ballinger objects to burying the re-
mains in Arlington cemetery because. she
says. L'Enfant was not a great soldier. but
q great engineer.
Among other things the writer says in
her letter:
The body of the man who planned this.
the capital city of the nation should find
a resting place within the limitations of his
own work. Therefore l think the Mall
should be selected as the place Of burial, as
this. in days to come. will be the most
magnificent park within the plans as drawn
by LEnfant.
