PLAGUE OF FLIES.
Washington Afflicted by Hosts of
Pestiferous Insects.


"A plague of flies aptly describes the
visitation which is just now affecting
Washington. The flies are not flies, but
that is an unimportant detail. They
plague, and that is where the rub-or the
slap-cOmeS in.
Beginning two or three days ago. these
little insects, which look like mosquitoes,
though without the hum or the bite. were
felt lighting on the necks and ears of
orderly citizens, inviting to wild gestures
and vicious jabs. The numbers increased
rapidly and the insects became a pest.
DR.. L. o. Howard. chief entomOlOgist
of the Department of Agriculture, told a
the insects are plant-lice. of the genus
lachmus. He says the sudden warm
weather has reused them, probably. from
their winters rest, aud that the steady
and gentle south wind is exporting them
from Virginia by the wholesale. Some
persons who have had adventures with
the ravening beasts say that these plant
lice bite, but DR.. Howard says they do
not. Even without a sting they are suf-
ficiently annoying. These insects feed
on arborvitae and other evergreens. turn
ing the green spots whence they suck the
sap into a faded brown. DR.. Howard says
that such phenomenon has not been
ten years. He says the insects will de-
part soon. as mysteriOusly as they came.
A pestilence of blue-bottle flies is also
reported from the region between the
Public Library and the Union station. 1t
is said that these insects are observed
there by the hundreds. gathering upon
window panes and filling the heart of the
careful housewife with bitter anguish. be-
sides buzzing into the eyes of unwary
wayfarers.

this satisfactorily A proposition to ex-
empt the city auditors department and
the police surgeon and assistants from
the civil service regulations was lost
by Healey's opposition.
PUT all the offices in, exempt them
all from civil service, and I'll vote for
It," said Healey. otherwise I'm fer
ninst it."
Other rejected propositions were one
to make the mayors appointments eff
fective in case the council fails. to act
within fifteen days, and another giving
the board of public works power to
appoint an inspector of streets not of
their number.
Councilman Dromgold favored a plan
permitting the city to acquire abso-
lutte title to land condemned. but the
city attorney said such an amendment
would probably conflict with the state
laws, under which at present the city
can only acquire an easement. Mr.
Dromgold said the matter would be
taken up before the legislature, as in
his belief it is of great Importance ia
all California municipalities.
The date set for the election, Feb
ruary 2, is the earliest that could be
figured out The publication Monday
is as a new ordinance, after which the
publication must be made as a notice
for twenty days, and forty days must
intervene between the election date ano
the last printing of the notice.
