Auditor Pctty's Statement to the
District Comniissioucrs.
The Leerncj- Left tlie Municipal An.
tlioritlcM !y the Old Hoard of Pub
lic "Works Congressional Action
on n Number of Case Sucwreiiled.
Agrfrrnvatiiif; Delay in the Courts.
J. T. Petty. Auditor of the District, has
brought to the attention of the Commis
sioners a number of matters In his office
which should receive Congressional action.
These relate to the claims of former con
tractors, the recovery of interest Illegally
paid, and the police and firemen's pension
arrearages. The Auditor states:
"It is a striking commentary upon the
law's delay that twenty-five years after the
Board of Public Works became functus of
ficio many of the claims of contractors,
which it left as a legacy to its municipal
successors, remain unadjusted. The au
thority for their complete adjudication,
conferred upon the Court of Claims by the
act of June 16, 1SS0, seemed all that was
needed to accomplish their settlement with
reasonable celerity; but today, nineteen
years after the enactment of that law, they
are siiji upon me aocuei, wiin no lmmeui
ate prospect of final adjustment.
"Sections 5 and 6 of the act of June 10,
1SS0, provide that judgments rendered in
pursuance of said act shall be certified to
the Secretary of the Treasury by the clerk
and Chief Justice or the Court of Claims,
respectively, and' paid in the 3. 63 bonds, is
sued under the act of June 20, 1S74. This
provision wag amended March 3, 1S81, by
making It optional with the Treasurer of
the United States, 'whenever, in his opin
ion, it will be more advantageous for the
interest of the District of Columbia to do
so,' to sell the bonds 'for the Gatisfaction
of the judgments which may be rendered by
said Court of Claims under the provisions
of said act, and pay the judgments from
the proceeds of said sales,' instead of de
livering bonds to the judgment claimants,
as authorized Jn the original act.
"A recent occurrence has convinced me
that in the interest of the District this pro
vision should be still further amended by
requiring that all Judgments rendered, un
der this act t-hall be reported to Congress,
and receive the approal of that body be
fore payment.
"The ease to which I refer is that of a
contractor who received a" judgment, based
upon the award of a referee, for J4.1S0.44.
The special attorney representing the Dis
trict of Columbia in the Court of Claims,
filed a motion for a new trial, but while
this motion was pending the judgment was
certified to the Secretary of the Treasury,
and a check for $7,716.67, being $4,1S0.44
for the principal and $3,536.23 for the in
terest, was issued to the attorney for the
claimant.
"Fortunately, a question arose as to the
date of the interest allowance, and, being
submitted to the Comptroller, his decision
was publibhed in the press as an item of
news. This publication gave the first in-
, timation, to the District's representatives
i that the Judgment had been certified for
payment, and no time was lost in filing a
protest against Action in the premises by
the Treasrer of the United States.
i ""The check. howeer, as already stated.
had been delivered, but it had not been
cwilierf Upon the representations made
, tli Treasurer ordered payment stopped,
bat he did not demand return of the check.

I in poffwion of the claimant's attorney.

) instead of the District being indebted to
the rteitawat ta tbe amount or $I.1S.44. as
the referee fovad, tbe claimant ones tbe
' District JMil C.
I "Reports of tbe referees often display
j sock an extraordinary lack of intelligent
' appreciation of the facta and their relation
to tb- rates under consideration that they
would aise profound amazement but for
tbeir representative character as members
of a class of productions in which frequent
repetition dulls the edge of surprise.
"The 'late, but not 'lamented, act of
February J3, lSf5, was happily short-lived,
having been repealed March 3, 1S97, but
It cumbered the statute books long enough
to cost an expenditure of I63.697.3S, being
J36.500.u7 principal and $27,196.61 interest.
The principal representing allowances
made to conlraclors of the Board of Pub
lic Works in excess of their contract rates,
was declared by the Supreme Court of the
United States, in a decision rendered Feb
ruary 15, 1897, to be 'a pure and simple
gift.'
"As the act aforesaid authorized this
gift,' however, the payment thereof in the
shape of the prmicpal of these so-called
claims was legal, and no criticism, except
of the law itself, is just, but, in allowing
interest upon this gratuity, the special
attorney representing the District of Co
lumbia contended that the Court of Claim?
erred, and on appeal was sustained in this
contention by the United States Supreme
Court. Upon the rendition of this decision,
suits were instituted in the Court of Claims
for the recovery of this illegally-paid in
terest, and I had hoped to be able to chron
icle herein the fact of their prosecution to
a successful issue, but in answer to a re
cent enquiry I was advised, much to my
regret, that they are quietly reposing upon
the calendar of the court, apparently no
nearer to a conclusion than when the su
preme tribunal of the land first set upon
their foreheads the seal of Its condemna
tion. "The act of June 11, 1896, authorized the
use of the .nitfneys derived from fines in
the Polleetbourt to meet any deficiency
which migli;, -occur in the payment of the
pension Tolls-fiom the reguar receipts of
the police and firemen's relief funds. Since
the enactment of this legislation allow
ances have been paid promptly and in full,
but prior thereto that Is to say, from
June 30, lS9ia May 31, 1896 there was
a shortage, iSCround numbers, of $17,000.
"This meany-that to this extent infirm
or disabled' "men who had given the
strength of their manhood and risked their
lives in defense of our homes, and the
widows and'orjjhans of those who had died
in the publlcjservice, had failed to receive
the full allotment (but small at best)
which had been made for their support.
The loss of this sum was severely felt,
and made it necessary for some, of these
dependent ones to incur obligations which
to this day they have been unable to meet."
Old Ironside to Be Reconstructed.
Mr. Hale of Maine has Introduced a bill
in the Senate to provide for -repairing and
again placing in commission the United

From Africa they desiralto obtain the
gorilla, chimpanzee, giraffe, true zebra,
African buffalo, wart hog, ichneuman,
strange species of skunk, the aardvark and
other rare animals. A manatee, or "sea
cow," is badly wanted from the West In
dies. The Cuban huita, also listed, Is an
immense tree rat, naked and scaly. Our
soldiers in the Philippines will be asked
to get the "spectre," a squirrel-like ani
mal, whose staring eyes appear to wear
huge Chinese spectacles; the caroba, a
small water buffalo, wild but tameable;
the tamaran. a similar species, but more
ferocious, and the binturong, a long-tailed
wildcat that sleeps all day with his head
hidden beneath his bushy tail.
From Asia are wanted the gayal and
gaur, species of East India wild cattle; the
cheetah, or hunting leopard; a long-legged
wildcat with little head, and the tapir.
From Central and South America aro
wanted more than others the sloth. Jaguar,
ant-eater, armadillo, and spectacled bear,
the last-named found only in the moun
tains of Chile and Peru. Australia and
other islands will send the great kangaroo,
wallaby or dwarf kangaroo, wombar, duck
bill, and Tasmanian devil. From New
Zealand will be obtained, if possible, tbe
kiwo, a very odd bird, found only upon
that island, the owl parrot, and the hideous
lizard.

In Augustin Daly's musical comedy, "A
Runaway Girl." The piece originally was
done at the Gaiety Theatre, London, where
Its success was so great that its term of
service there has Just ended. Presentations
at Daly's and the Fifth Avenue, in New
York, followed before the offering war
taken on the road. "A Runaway Girl
really is a delightful compilation which
fully deserves the patronage that it has
been receiving steadily feince its first pro
duction. The stcry of "A Bachelor's Honeymoon,'
which will be next week's attraction at
the Lafayette Square Opera House, con
cerns a certain whlleora widower who has
taken to himself a second wife. He has
neglected, however, to tell this charmer of
his former marriage and of two grown
daughters at home, while the aforesalJ
grown daughters are equally in Ignorance
of the wife. The result of this secrecy Is
a set of complications that is raid not to
hae been equaled since the time of George
Broadburst's "What Happend to Jcncs. '
The farce is to be presented here by what
is described as an exceptional cast, among
its members being Delia SUcey. the last

son back, both left Mr. Shea to enter vau

successful. Their present sketch, "The

commendation of no less captious an indi
