An Obstruction to Navigation. 1
:oi- hains reports that th&long bridge should s
?h removed or rebuilt. j (
Col. P. C. Halns has submitted to the chief of j ,
nglneers a special report upon the subject of the | i
'iong Bridge. He shows that in Its present condl- ; f
ion it is a great Impediment to the successful J
prosecution of the work of reclaiming the flats, and 1
vlll eventually be an obstruction to navigation, 1
laving a tendency to cause the tilling of the \
Ir-dged Virginia channel, if the dredging Is con
lnued on the present plan without any modltlca- ;
Ion In tlie bridge. It will be likely to be In an un- ;
,afe condition. coL Halns recommends In his re- 1
port that the bridge be either entirely removed
ind a n w one built or that new piers be built fur- '
her apart than the present ones, so as to permit ]
>r a better flow of water through them. There- 1
>ort will be submPred to the Secretary of War by 1
he time Congress meets, and will be transmitted 1
o Congress by him with other reports from eugt- ?
leer officers upon the obstructions to navigation In
he works of which they have charge.

indications of an increased attendance. (
The demand for tickets of admission to the pub- >

pervislng principals In the various districts are ! c
irowded with applicants. The principals have been
;o b isy in issuing tickets that they have not been I
ib e to estimate the uumber of tickets Issued. Su- *
perintendent Wilson thinks that tiie number la- 1
iued is already In excess of that of last year.
"I visited about fifty schools yesterday." said Mr. i
A'llson to a star reporter this morning, "and I t

tichmond special to the B <ltimore American.
Colonel H. C. Parsons, the projector of the Rlchnrmd
and Alleghany railroad, published a card i
his evening in replv to the recent, communication ' t
?i s cond Auditor F. <J. Kuftln, which charged Mr.
iiaine, as one of the Richmond and Alleghany rail- j
oad syndicate, with swindling. Colonel Parsons
says: "As Mr. Blaine's Investments In the state *
vere entirely made through me, It Is Just that I
rive the pertinent facts in reference to the Rich- 1
uond and Alleghany railroad. Mr. Blaine never 1
ecelved In consideration for his services or lnflu- 1
'nee or anything else one dollar of money irom <
he company, directly or indirectly. He never re- 1
:elved a bond that he did not pay for at 97^ cents t
>r at par, in cash. He never received any stock t
xcept by purchase or as a member of the syndl- t
ate composed of tieorge M. Bartholomew, Hugh
rfeCuUough, Cyrus H. McCormick and others, under <
iie contract tor the transfer of the works of the I
:anal company upon the same terms as the other t
nembers for full and lawful consideration. The t
o d they undertook to build was built. The 2
500,000 required for deposit with the state was fur- t
ushed. The |9ii,ooo demanded for convict labor I
,vas paid. The old obligations to the merchants of
Richmond were paid. The $30,000 required to meet *
debts of honor' due by the canal company was de- f
posited. The settlement of the 12.000.000 of debts <
pf the canal company was effected. No derault oc- 1
;urred while Mr. Blaine was director, and every t
contract with state, city, county or creditor was <
religiously kept. When he became secretary of ?
state he resigned his directorship and ordered his <
itock to be sold, and Hon. Wm. H. Barnum was
elected to his place. His stock was sold on a rlsng
market and purchased on speculation, and advanced
In quotation 117 a share. After the sale he t
lever held a dollar of stock in any car, trust or
pther corporation that contracted with the company."
CoL Parsons offers to get the names of
ending Virginians?all Cleveland men?who will, ^
pver their signatures, indorse the statement he has ?
node exonerating Mr. Blaine. s
The New Railroad Pools.?The Western rail- s
way conference at Chicago, yesterday adopted the '
rerieral plan submitted by the committee for the t
Formation of four pools on California and Colorado i
juslness, two east and two west or the Missouri s
river, by a unanimous vote. An official of the <
t nlon Pacific stated after the close of the session j
that the tripartite pool would certainly continue in <
torce, though certain changes might occur In Its 1
workings to conform with the plan of the new l
pool. Other officials declare that the continuance t
pf the tripartite, if Insisted upon, will probably t
result In the defeat ol the organization of (he pro- l

FOR BELTA AND REFORM.
How the Equal Rf?hto Canvass U
PropreMinfft
LITtna received bt thx candidate, era
"Do the women who nominated you expect to
appear at the polls and Insist upon voting?" asked
a Star reporter to-day ot Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood,
the candidate of the equal rights party lor President.
"dome of them will," said Mrs. Lockwood, leaning
back in her office chair. "Others, I suppose,
will simply use their influence. Never you mind,
the contest is between James O. Blame and me,
and whichever 18 elected you will get your pension."
This last remark was addressed to an elderly
lady, who sat near the desk murmuring something
about the Injustice of the government in not settling
iier pension claim. , , .
"\ou must remember," continued Mrs. Lockwood
to The Star reporter, "that this nomination did
not come from the Woman Suffrage Association,
but from the equal rights party, a party representing
men as well as women."
The reporter suggested the possibility of a matrimonial
alliance which would unite the Butler and
hnnmc
"lam not going to unite," said Mrs. Lockwood
deeluediy, "I am not going to unite with any one.
The d'.'sk In front of the candidate was littered
with letters?coming from all parts of the Union.
Some were written partly In jest, but many gave
evidence of serious purpose. Among the letters
was one from Mr. John B. McCarthy asking to be
appoint-*! District Commissioner for one day, bo he
could fix the Cogswell louutaln. Another, trom
Mrs. Miirllla M. Kicker, asking for tbe place of
Attorney General. There was an lnvltatlun from
the Caulkers' association, of Jersey City, to attend
their annual dinner, one from an old lady announced
that her grandson would cast his tlrst vote
for "Belva and reform." A letter from Lockwood,
N. Y., announced that a Lockwood pole would be
raised there. A letter from J. U. Nlles, of Arkansas,
says the "separatlonlsts" promised Mrs. Lockwood
the supjiort of the Indemnity party. Several persons
applied for autographs and photographs, and
a great many ladies and gentlemen wrote letters of
congratulation.
One letter was from Harriet I. Brooks, of Omaha,
Neb., a lady who, Mrs. Lockwood said, may be
nominated to run on the ticket with her for the
vice presidency.
A circular, printed In blue Ink, has been Issued by
the campaign committee ot the party, calling upon
friends of the cause to organize. The circular Ls
adorned with a cut representing a red globe floating
In a blue sea, with the stars and stripes uiirurk-d
above it. Across the globe is the inscription "Our
Couutry." Mrs. Lockwood says an effort will be
made to nominate electoral tickets In most ot the
states, though the nomination was made so late as
to leave lltue time for work.
mr8. locewood 8avs there is no doubt that shk
is eligible, and quotes the constitution.
"Do you consider yourself eligible to the Presidency?"
asked the reporter of Mrs. Lockwood.
"Oh, yes; there's no doubt of my eligibility under
the constitution. I am going to write an article on
that subject. There's not a thing In the Constitution
that prevents a woman from becoming President.
I cannot vote, but I can be voted for. There
can be women electors, also. They cannot vote at
the polls, but they can vote in theelectorul college.
Now, the Chicago Inler-Ovran maintains that 1 am
not eligible. The same paper Insisted a year ago
that I could never be admitted to the bar of the
supreme Court, and that no woman ever could, and
the paper said this In the face of the slat ute admitting
me. I was admitted In 1879. These statements
are hurting my candidacy, and so I will
write an article on the subject setting the matter
right."
"You base your claim on the Constitution?" said
the reporter. , .
"I haven't looked up the subject recently," said
Mrs. Lockwood, taklLg a book down from a shell;
"but several years ago, when Mrs. Stanton was
nominated for congress in New York state, I Investigated
the subject. There," continued Mrs. Lockwood,
adjusting her glasses and reading clause 5 of
the first section of article 2 of the Constitution:
"No person, except a natural born citizen, or a citizen
or the united States at the time of the adoption
of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the
office of President; neither shall any person be eligible
to that office who shall not have attained to
tue age of thlrty-flve years and been fourteen years
a resident within the United States."
"Were you a citizen at the time of the adoption
ol the Constitution asked the reporter.
"I was born a little while after the adoption of
the Constitution," replied Mrs. Lockwood, laughing;
"but I am not sensitive at all about my age."
"You think you meet the requirements of the
Constitution?"
"Yes," said Mrs. Lockwood, "I am a natural born
citizen, and over thirty-five."

Sp^riil Dispatch to The Evening Star:
Coli mbis, ouio, September 17.?The signs of a
red hot tight fur supremacy In the October election
In Ohio are unmistakable. The republicans are
making the most active burface dem?lustrations so
far, but It la known that the demvrauc managers
are by no means idle, &n<i It Is hinted tl-at
their campaign tactics when developed will
show that they are working to some purpose.
Their policy seems to run in the
direction of a still hunt, while the
republicans seem to appreciate that their t hiri' -s
of success depend upon their ability to bring out
the lull party vote by a rousing camp il^n thai will
lire the republican heart in every voting pr rluct
In the state. They win repeat the program so >uccesstul

of note from all quarters, among ih Ri v.en. L-u' ?n;

Dlngley, boutelle and Mllllkeu, of Maine;
Col carr, ol Illinois; l*eck, of Kansas; HIscock, of
New York; oov. stone, of Iowa, an 1 a.so a host of
speakers of local fame. The republicans intend to
work the tariff Issue lor ail It 1? worth, and that l->
a question where th* y liavc the democrats at ? me
disadvantage m a strong protection state like < >lilo.
The republican executive couimltute are making a
thorough school district i?oll of th?* state, and have
come to the com lusjon that "If" every republican
tout can be brou? M to the polls, they run carry
the stale in October by Irom 2u,u00 to 2.*>,ooo majority.
In view, however, of the robust, and <is
they say, "unscrupulous" present democratic
management In Ohio, w hich has control of ail the
electoral machinery, the republicans are not inclined
to make any o,?eu claims or majorities, and
are ruther disposed to say that It di-esn'i make any
difference how oiilo goes In October;?that It will
be all right for Biame In November. Still It is undoubtedly
the tact uuat the republicans are much
more hopeful of i he result In October than they
were two weeks aj,o.
