Adverse Recommendation.
Edwtfrd B. Cottrell, attorney for Eliza
beth Devlne, has requested the District
Commissioner* to cancel the tax sale of
18U9 on lot 32, Whitehaven, to M. B. New
man. It appears that In 1801 this lot, to
gether with several others, was conveyed
by E. B. Cottrell and J. P. Clark to Eliza
beth Devlne, but it was omitted In the
record furnished the assessor's office by
the recorder of deeds, and therefore not
transferred with the other lots to the name
Of Elizabeth Devlne. The omission was not
discovered until June 23, 1900, when the
transfer was made. Mr. H. H. Darneille,
the District assessor, states that It would
appear from the fact that taxes were paid
on the property after the deed was recorded
that the person who was enough interested
In the same to pay upon it must have
been cognizant of the name or names in
which It wa# assessed. The property was
duly advertised in the delinquent tax list
for the 1898 tax, and the assessor is of the
opinion that there is no reason why the
application should be granted. Mr. E. G.
Davis, the collector of taxes, has con
8rred in the adverse recommendation made

AT 7/1e'
END OF THE CRUISE
U. S, S. Fern Returns With the Dis
trict Naval Reserves.
TRIP WAS A GREAT SUCCESS
Fine Record Made at Target Prac
tice in Lower Bay.
NOTES OF THE CRUISE
The U. S. S. Fern, having: on board the
naval reserves of the District with the
home-bound pennant flying, steamed up the
Potomac river yesterday morning and
dropped anchor at 10::i0 o'clock near the
Long bridge. It was the termination of
one of the most successful cruises ever
taken by this organization. The officers
and men numbered 108, under Commander
Robert P. Hains.
At 12 o'clock General Harries, com
manding the District of Columbia National
Guard, accompanied by Major Charles H
Ourand, inspector of rifle practice, and
Lieut. Commander Sherbourne G. Hopkins
naval militia aid, arrived on board the Fern
as she lay out in the Washington channel
and were received by Commander Hains
and the officers of the Naval Battalion.
Ihe entire ships company was mustered,
and when this was done the ship was In
spected by the general.
j.^.s ,soon as the Inspection was over the
divisions were dismissed and went ashore
by the Fern s steam launch. The Fern was
never in a better condition.
Commander Hains made out his official
report of the trip before leaving the ship
yesterday, and it will reach headquarters
in a day or two. Everybody was well
pleased with the trip and the only objection
was that the time was not long enough.
Commander Hains will make an effort to
increase the time to two weeks next vear
O. H. Davis of Falls Church. Va., wag
taken ashore and was sent to his home
sick yesterday. His condition is not seri
ous, however.
KOTES OF THE CRUISE.
Reported by The Star Correspondent
on Board the Fern.
OFF POINT LOOKOUT. July 26 ?After
a night of rough weather the Fern ar
rived at Point Lookout a* daybreak this
morning. The weather last night was un
usually heavy, with a deep mist hovering
about the bay throughout the entire night.
The barometer began falling from the time
the Fern left Old Point Comfort, indicat
ing stormy weather ahead. The mist was
so heavy during the night that it was Im
possible to pick up the light houses on the
bay, and the compass was resorted to for
the entire trip to Point Lookout. A heavy
sea was on, and the Fern tossed and rolled
all night long. Commander Hains took ev
exy precaution for the safety of the vessel
and the crew under his command, and had
a man stationed at the life boat all during
the midnight watch and the early morning
watch. A man was also stationed at the
life buoy as well as men at the cathead
starboard ;lid port sides. An officer was'
also stationed at the cathead lookout in an
effort to pick up the light houses in the
D&y.
The wind during the mid watch blew
directly from the northeast, and with a
nea_vy Bea on the starboard bow the Fern
made as Is usual under such circumstances
some leeway, compensation for which'
however, was made by sailing a compass
course somewhat more to the east than
would otherwise be necessary.
Taate of Genuine Seafaring.
It was during these hours of the mid
watch that the "jackies" had a taste of
the real trials of navigation at night, and
all those not directly engaged in the navi
gation of the vessel were sent below decks,
hatches put on, and every precaution taken
for increase in the unfavorable weather
conditions. The watch on deck answered
promptly to all calls from the officer of
the deck for the performance of duty. The
running lights were carefully observed
every few minutes and the officer of the
deck continually cautioned the men at the
catheads to keep a "bright lookout ahead "
Many lights were observed and the proDer
course taken to avoid collisions.
While the conditions of the mid watch re
quire continued vigilance, both the officers
and Jackies ' seem to enjoy the long hours
of watchfulness.
At an early hour this morning the ship
was enveloped by clouds, and mosquitoes
Just off Point Lookout. The officers were
routed out early and made their way on
deck to escape the pests. The plague be
came so unbearable for everybody aboard
ship that H was necessary to close ail
hatches and smoke the pests out. The
ship was eventually cleared, but not until
nearly every man on board had sufTercd
considerably as a result.
Target Practice Record.
The District "bluejackets" made a record
this morning at target practice that made
every offioer and man, from Commander
Hains down to the humblest landsman, feel
proud. Th? District boys, completely shot
one of the regulation naval targets into
pl<Lce*' ?t a distance of 1,600 yards, a rec
e<lualled In the regular
service. The interest displayed by the men
gratifying to Commander Hains.
.J1"? target was hoisted overboard and
the Fern steamed ofT at a distance of 1,000
> ards. The target used in the practice Is a
triangular affair, twelve feet on each side
of wth? trtan?le. with an up
right pole in he center twelve feet in
height. The target Is surmounted by a
red flag one and a half feet square. The
target was rigged with three white can
vas sails, with a twenty-four-inch bull's
eye painted In the center of each sail, bo
that when floating one side is always vis
ible. It Is the regulation kind adopted by
the United States navy in its target prac
tice at sea.
In the afternoon the men were given
practice at the same guns at 2,000 yards.
The work at this distance was also of a very
high order, but scarcely equal to the morn
ing's performance. It was the first time
that a great many of the men had ever
fired a big gun at this distance, and this
taken Into consideration, the entire work
at the targets is most remarkable. The
target practice has proved a feature of
the cruise, and the results have been most
satisfactory to the division officers, as well
as the commanding officer. The two semi
automatic slx-pounders commanded by
Lieut. A. P. Lang on the main deck did the
best work. These guns were received a
few days previous to starting on the cruise
and from the showing made in today's
practice, proves their value to the local
reserves. ?
Personnel ot the Guns' Crews.
The six-pounder In the bow of the Fern
was commanded by Lieut. J. A. Dempf,
with the following crew: Capt. Ruppert,
Plugman Newton, Loader McDougal, Shell

and the following crew: Capt. C. Getzen
danner. Loader Collins, Shellmen Harvey,
Lieuts. Bieber, Lang, Brummett, Cox, Pow
er, Pay Clerk Sigourney, Chase, Snow,
Herfuth, Kirby and Mahorney.

commanded by Ensign Berry, with the fol
lowing crew: Capt. Kirby, Loader Lyons,
Shellman Wilson, Commander Halns,
Lieuts. Brummett, Lang, Ensign Fisk, Ma
horney, Sulllvaa.
After target practice the Fern got under
way and steamed for Colonial Beach,
where an additional supply of Ice will be
put aboard.
Saturday the men will be Instructed in
boat drills, landing parties, and the after
noon will be devoted to cleaning ship
washing down decks, scrubbing clothes
and hammocks and putting the ship in
condition for inspection. She will then
steam up slowly, arriving at the dock, foot
of vvater street southwest about Sundav
noon. '
The health of the crew is still excellent
and no complaints have be6n heard from
any quarter.
Shore Liberty for the Men.
July 25 the men were given "shore lib
erty," and the summer resortsinthe vicinity
of Old Point Comfort were well patronized
all day by the "Jackies." Some of the men
Journeyed to Norfolk, others to Phoebus,
Ocean View, Hampton, Newport News'
Buckroe Beach, Sewell's Point, while a'
number spent the day at Old Point Com
fort.
The ship's company was divided Into two
watches. The starboard watch was given
shore liberty from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The
port watch and the members of the engi
neer s force were given the afternoon from
1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Commander Halns directed
the crew in order that there should be a
watch on duty at all times while the Fern
was lying at anchor out in Hampton Roads
Paily. officers from the Fern com
posed of Lieuts. Brummett, Lang Bieber
?,*Tf?,C?X' Ensifns F,sk> Lantz and Pay
SI? k visited the Newport News
shipyards during the forenoon and spent
several hours going through the battle
ships and liners now being constructed in
the yards. They were received by the
naval officers upon their arrival and were
treated in a most courteous manner The
officers visited the battleships Missouri and
Illinois, monitor Arkansas, the two fast
steamers Korea and Siberia,
the El Slglo and several other vessels now
ky that oompany. All of
the different branches and departments
were visited In the yards, and the day
P^ved most Interesting as well a* instruct
*n tb? a?ten">?? ih? Party visited Hamp
ton, Phoebus, Old Point, and from the lat
ter Pl&ce took the steamer for Sewell's
Point, where the remainder of the after
noon was pleasantly spent. The party re
turned to Old Point In time to pull off for
the Fern before she weighed anchor.
Everybody being aboard at 7 o'clock, the
Fern a short time afterward was gotten
?? U .WfyV m?kln* '?r Cornfield Harbor,
off Point Lookout. The weather was
squally, with a stiff northeast wind blow
ing and sufficient sea on to oause toe Fern
to roll considerably.
Notes.
Chief Machinist Chase ot Chief Power's
force. In addition to being an expert In his
line, proved his efficiency with the six
pounder in target practice.
Ensign Berry reported the mosquito fleet
off Point Lookout at four bells Friday
morning.
Electrician Fox again demonstrated his
proficiency In target practice at 1.800 yards.
Fireman Roney of the engineers force is
a born sailor, as is shown by the numer
ous duties which he perform, on d^k
while off duty. He has won the high re
gard of all the officers and men on .the
present cruise.
The following article, which appeared in
f Norfolk paper when the Fern anchored
to Hampton Roads, afforded Commander
^h^8p^"ChJlT^^en,t when Mm:
"The Fern, which acted as a dispatch boat
for the American fleet during the 8panlsh
?ar' y-terday anchored In Hampton
^Roaflg. She was IfcU* ? jrSSS
sailors and river men were unable to make
out. Her mission Is unknown."
The first day at target practice eliminat
ed all of the "gun-shy men." After their
initiation they went at the guns with a will.
Whenever Commander Hains announced
his destination after getting under way he
would add, "No one will be allowed
ashore." At this Juncture the paymaster
would invariably serenely bob up and in
form the captain that "ice was needed."
He always found it necessary to go ashore
at this time and used this means of getting
there.
Surgeon Cox displayed considerable in
terest in the target praotlce day and spent
several hours on the bridge.
It might be stated that the battalion
never presented a finer appearance than It
did when the men landed at Old Point
Comfort for their day's outing, the men In
blue and the officers in white uniform.
Paynrwister's Yeoman George Howe was
given a chance at the six-pounders and the
one-pounders in target practice and made
a good score.
Coxswain Beckman of the gig performed
excellent work In steering the boats from
the Fern to the wharf at Old Point. He
was always ready with his crew when he
was wanted. t
Lieut. Dempf Is shedding another layer
or skin, due to the sunburnt condition of
his face.
One of the first subjects Chief Tower
mentions when he sights a vessel Is her
8a/i?.ty valve " source of information
on this subject is unlimited. H. F.

PROTEST AGAINST BILL.
Resident Says Water Rent Was More
Than Doubled.
Mr. Thomas Armat, residing at 1700 Ore
gon avenue, has written to the District
Commissioners protesting against his water
rent bill, which he says has been raised
from $6 to $15. The difficulty seems to have
arisen on account of the peculiar shape of
the lot and the house thereon. Mr. Armat
states that the frontage of the house, as
stated in the bill, is probably technically
32 feet, although the body of the house Is
not over 20 feet. If that. The lot contains
but 1,100 square feet, and the house, Mr.
Armat believes, does not cover as much
ground as the ordinary 20-foot front house.
Mr. Armat also calls attention to the fact
that the -water pressure at his house is
very poor, and that sometimes it will not
flow in the bath room. He incloses a letter
he received from the engineer department
stating that there was little chance of re*
lief being afforded in that respect for some
time to come. He requested that the old
rate of the house be restored.
The Commissioners have approved a com
promise bill of $9 suggested by George F.
Green, the water registrar, who says that
the building la a trapezoid In shape, with
bases 8 by 31 feet, and with a front line on
Oregon avenue of 35 feet. "It appears very
hard to assess this place," says Mr. Green,
"for the full front on Oregon avenue in
view of the fact that were it a rectangle,
with a much larger area, the charge would
be at most against 31 feet. For this reason
I suggest that a frontage be computed by
taking one-half the sum of the bases."
In accordance with this a bill for 19, as
sessed at 20 feet front, has been rendered
Mr. Armat.
FACTORY STOPS WORK.
Temporary Shut-Down of Cahill
Writing? Machine Co.
The factory of the Cahill Writing Ma
chine Manufacturing Company, corner 11th
and G streets northwest, was olosed down
today so far as the machinists and helpers
were concerned. There were rumors In
circulation that the machinists had gone
on a strike, but Inquiry developed that this
was not the case. There has been misun
derstanding between the machinists and
the company for some time, and it was de
termined to close down this morning In
order to await the meeting of'the board
of directors of the company to b? held
this afternoon, at which it Is hoped by
those Interested an amicable settlement of
the differences will be reached.
That Nose, "Lo, Where It Comes
Again I"
To the EUltor of The Evening Star:
An explanatory excuse and apology are
due from the writer to Miss Randolph,
whose letter appears In last Friday's Star
also an exculpation of Mr. A. J. Goddard,
who had nothing whatever to do with my
offense, and nerver in hla life once alluded,
In my company, to the historical Incident
in the lives of President Jackson and the
gallant Lieutenant Randolph. So much to
let out Mr. Goddard, who merely knew
both parties and of the event. I meant no
belittiement whatever of the manhood or
mentality of Miss Randolph's deceased
father, whoee memory she so proudly and
k>vingly defends. I trust this "soft answer
turneth away her righteous wrath." I In
tended the word used to characterize the
brave lieutenant's act, 'In a Pickwickian
sense only," In the sense of bold to au
dacity, fearless, reckless, like "AJax defy
ing the lightning." I had never heard of
his grievances and only of the daring
"lese maJeste" of his deed. In one sense
I considered it, but Inconsiderately used the
word, "lunatic." The ancient Latin author
said: "Ira furor brevis est"?"Anger is a
short madness"?and It must be admitted
the heroio lieutenant was mad, "mad clean
through," "mad as a March hare," as no
doubt equally so was "the hero of New
Orleans" wtien his outworks were so rudely
and violently carried by assault. Peace to
the brave lieutenant's ashes, and may my
earthly peace be made with his charming
daughter in virtue of this explanation and
"a mind conscious of the rectitude of its
Intentions, "Meno conscli recti." D.

DELUGE AND NOZZLE OUTFITS.
District Authorities Purchase Im
proved Ftre Equipment.
As a result of the trial conducted Satur
day afternoon of the Eastman nozzle and
deluge outfits, Chief Dutton of the fire de
partment today gave the Eastman Com
pany an order for three of the deluge out
fits and for two of the nozzle outfits, at a
total cost of $500. Saturday's trial of these
fire-fighting appliances was witnessed by
the District Commissioners, Col. Theo. A.
Bingham, the officer in charge of public
buildings and grounds; Capt. Harding, as
sistant to the Engineer Commissioner; a
representative of the bureau of yards and
docks of the Navy Department; Mr. W. A.
McFarland, superintendent of the water
department; the assistant chiefs of the fire
department, and a number of the foremen
and men of the department. A represen
tative of the Southern Railway Company
also witnessed the trial, and those present
expressed the greatest satisfaction with
the work of the appliances.
The preliminary trial was made at 15th
and B streets, engine No. 2 being placed in
service there. With the Eastman outfits
solid streams of water were thrown 200 or
more feet, while with the outfits now In
use In the District department the streams
not only did not reach so great a distance,
but also broke badly a few feet after leav
ing the oM-tlme nozzles. After the trial
at this point was concluded the party
moved out to 16th and U streets, where the
same outfits were given a plug test. With
out the services of a steamer, and with
only a plug pressure of seventy-seven
pounds, the Eastman outfits threw a two
inch solid stream of water 108 feet, the old
time nozzles not making more than half
that distance.
It is the intention of Chief Dutton to
equip the central companies of the de
partment with the outfits ordered today, so
as to give better protection to the busiriess
sections of the city.
APPLICATION DENIED.
Judge Bradley- Refuses Writ of Ha
beas Corpus.
Justice Bradley today denied the applica
tion of Timothy Killlgan for a writ of
habeas corpus to secure his release from
the District Jail. Killlgan was recently
sentenced by Judge Kimball In the Police
Court to pay a fine of $100 for alleged as
sault committed on Policeman Sylvester
Murphy and a fine of $10 in addition for
alleged disorderly conduct, or to be Im
prisoned in default. In his petition for
habeas corpus Killigan set forth that Judge
Kimball violated the petitioner's constitu
tional rights as a defendant by making him
give evidence against himself without first
cautioning him of his rights as a defendant;
that Killlgan did not secure a fair and Im
partial trial; that the alleged trial was
Illegal tfnd void, for the reason that the pe
titioner was charged with two offenses, and
was tried at one time and really In one
case, and that the only case Judge Kimball
had Jurisdiction in was that alleging dis
orderly conduct, the case alleging assault
being beyond the Jurisdiction of the Dis
trict branch of the Police Court.
In remanding Killlgan to the custody of
the warden of the Jail, Justice Bradley held
that the Police Court had Jurisdiction of
the offense with which he was charged.
