Friends. Washlngtonians. citizens. lond

Rejoice with me, for has not Mr. Barnes
been appointed Washington's city postmas-
ter?
What matters 1t whether he mishandled
Mrs. Morris whether the accounts we
have of that incident from the press be lies
made up out of whole cloth? He has now
to do with the handling of mail matter. If
his appointment be confirmed by the Senate.
| would that | We're a nearer and dearer
friend of Mrs. Morris than the story of her
wrongs makes of every man who has read
of them, for 1t would be a privilege to do
ones devoir, and break lance in the courts
of justice on her behalf, for the sake of the
old time-yet now, | suppose. forgotten
| love, reverence and chicalry due to women.
| Whether Mr. Barnes be a good man, a bad
man or only an Indifferent man for the
| position, l care not. for Is he not "a Wash
| ingtonian?" Although accredited to New
| Jersey and voting. his privilege. there as a
| man, he is yet citizen of this District Of
| Columbia blessed citizenship, because for-
| sooth, he has resided here 10! these eighteen
| years. Unidentified with the city in any
manner whatsoever, save as to his resi-
dence, he is yet, according to The Star OF
Sunday, "a Washingtonian."
| am glad. l said before, that Mi.
Barnes was selected, for such local appoint
ments to local offices have been made so
often during the present regime that few
more must, If there be yet a lingering spark
of recollection of rights formerly enjoyed
by a free people in the breasts of those here

governmental representation, fan 1t into
such blaze of resentment as will fuse to-

TO PREVENT DISORDERS.
Steps Being Taken by Count Witte In
Behalf of the Jewish Population.

Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassador,
has received a dispatch from st. Petersburg
announcing that rumors of probable anti
Jewish uprisings In Russia are unfounded.
Because 81 reports that there might be
demonstrations against the Jews I'm differ
ent parts of the empire the Russian Tele-
graph Agency instituted an investigation.
and It's report forwarded to Baron
Rosen. The report says:
The government is convinced that there
is an impossibility of any such disorders
occurring as the most energetic measures
have been taken to prevent them Yes
terday, by order of Count Witte, president
of the council. the minister of Interior sent
a circular TO all the governors of provinces
where there Is Jewish population to take,
from the very first, the most energetic
measures for stopping disorders; to defend
by troops the lives and property OF the
Jewish population. The governors were
informed that il disorders occurred the local
authorities would be held responsible and
brought to justice"

A Word of Commentator.
To the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor OF The Star:
Apropos to the city postmastership, 1t
may be a square deal for The Star to give
it's readers fair statement OF some OF the
attributes of the new appointee. l have
known Mr. Barnes some twelve or hfteen
years. during which time he has been my
neighbor, a worthy citizen and member OF
The Northeast Washington Citizens Assoc
citation. Thus hes like thousands of our
good citizens Is resident here, but very
properly carries his voting residence where
he finds it most convenient to exercise the
great American birthright. Unfortunately,
an opinion prevails among many of our
people that a man must reside uptown IN
rider TO be identified with our citys bust
ness interests, but We all know members OF
the Board OF Trade and Kindred assocla-
lions who are among our most prominent
citizens, yet hold their voting residences
elsewhere, at least one OF whom votes IN
the same state with Mr.. Barnes and VINO
Is the most jealous man l know of in the
interests of our public schools and against
whom I think no protest whatever would
be made IL he should be appointed to local
Office Indeed, some OF our District COM
nissoners had not, prior to their appoint
ment res ded here as long as Mr.. Barnes
has He is not an ostentatious man, but Is
characterized by all WHO know him as
very modest and retiring gentleman; and,
knowing him as 1 and his other neighbors
do we have never believed that he was
responsible Tor the Morris incident, VIII ch
is now ancient history. as is also the car
RE Nation episode in the United States
Senate. Had Mrs Nation on that occasion
resisted authority her fate might have been
similar to that OF Mrs. Morris. To KNOW
Mr. Barnes is to know a gentleman in
everything that the word implies and a
painstaking and faithful Official. He mar
ried a native Washington lady, has res ded
east Of Mott Capitol street ever since, and
having no doubt that he considers this his
home, l think he is a more permanent resi-
dent of this great cosmopolitan metropolis
than any of his predecessors, with barely
one exception. Notwithstanding the fact
that l am native of this city, / am ever
ready to welcome the men OF intellect and
character and worth who have done and
are continuing to do the good work of pro-
noting the welfare of our national city.

SCALE COMMITTEE MEETS.
Further Consideration Had of Miners
Demands,

New York, Feb. 24.-The full scale
committee of the United Nine Work
ers of America met in this city last
night tc consider the demands the
anthracite miners are to make to the
committee of operators. The miners
subcommittee has been busy on these
plans for the past week and presented
them to President Mitchell fer ap-
proval yesterday. 1t was intended
that President Mitchell should at
once notify the operators that meet
ing with them was desired. His ac-
ton, therefore, in first calling meet
ing of the scale committee to con.
slider propositions has given rise to
reports that the miners demands are
such as to make the situation grave
one. The meeting of the scale COM
mittee lasted until nearly midnight
1t was stated that the full committee
endorsed the demands of the miners
committee and it was declared that
the anthracite workers will stand by
the demands and suggestions. 1t
was decided to send a copy of tho
conclusions to Mr.. Baer, head of the
operators committee, at once.

STILL HOPE FOR
PEACEFUL END

Algeciras, Spain, Feb. 24.-The first
feeling of depression over Germany's
rejection of the French proposals is
gradually wearing off and slightly
more hopeful feeling is observable
among the delegates. This is due
largely to the amicable spirit shown
between the French and German del
egates during the formal debates on
the Moroccan bank questions. The
discussion will be continued today,
when an effort will be made to draft
final bank project reconciling the
two views. Strong influences operate
to induce Germany to recognize the
syndicate of French bankers who fur
nished the first loan to Morocco and
who seek thereby to obtain pre-
ferred position in the state bank, and
numerous compromises on the de.
tails of the bank are being discusse@$
The deadlock on policing Morocco is
unchanged but the improved feeling
also extends to that question.
