A Petition to Congress. ‘THE RESIDENTS OF THE NORTHWEST SECTION OF THE CITY PROTEST AGAINST ALLEGED UNJUST DISCRIM- INATION IN STRERT IMPROVEMENTS. A meeting of property owners and those nter- ested in the northwestern section of the city will be beld this afternoon at the office of Thomas J. Fisher & Co. to consider the propriety of taking some action for securing to that section what they consider its due share of street improvements, A memuorial his been prepared with great care and by competent hands for presentation to Congress, which will be read at the meetiug with the view of obtaining the endorsement of those present. ‘This memiorial calls the attention of Congress to. what is deemed “an unjust discrimination against the northwest section of the city tn the distribution, as recommended by the Commissioners, of the appro- Priations for street improvements in the coming year.” After reviewing and criticising those re- commendations at some length the protest con- cludes as follows: We ask of Congress— ist. That tt will, 1€ practicable, determine some general principle for distribution of the annual street-improvement fund, and by thus limiting, as | far_as_ possible, opportuuities for favoritism, re- move all suspicions abd apprehensions in this re- spect. 2d. We ask that of the appropriation for thecom- ing year not less than $32,000 may be applied to Jaying new first-class pavements In the nortnwest— ern section of the city, and that half of this amount be expended west of 18th street. As to the partic. ular portions of streets upon which, within these mits, the Improvements shail be placed we do not care to obtrude our own opinions or preferences. We do uot doubt that if upon tints pout the Com- mussioners shall be consulted thelr advice will be Judictous. In the absence of any expression of opinion by them We will say that the selection of the blocks haimed tn the above table of assessed valuations Will, fn our opinion, gee general satistaction to the eltizens of the northwest section. ‘The De Wolowski Estate, ANSWER OF ISABELLA DE WOLOWSKI TO THE RULE OF COUKT—A LETTER FROM HER PATHER—BER MOTUER’S WILL. ‘To-day Mr. J. Ambler Smith, for Mis3 Isabella De Wolowski, fled her answer to the rule to show why she did not take out letters of administration on the estate, which rule was issued on the petl- tion of Mr. Campbell Carrington. She states first that her father left no estate—the real and per- sonal property having been left to him by her mother for life to descend to respondent. Second, that hehad but two creditors, Fisher & Co, who have been pald in full; and Campbell Carrington to ‘whom she has tendered his fee,far as directed by her father, and ne retusea to accept tt. ‘Third, that ner father left. a written statement of the amount due each creditor, and stated that be owed Mr. Carrington one fee of $50 and another of $200, and that she 1s willing to pay him the same. “Fourth, as it is not pretended by Mr. Carrington that hé had any contract for $1,000, she suggests that the court fix the amount to be paid him and she binds ‘herself to settle the fees at once. PROF. DE WOLOWSEI'S LAST LETTER TO HIS DAUGH- TER. Attached to the petition are four pages of note Paper, (pages 11, 12, 18 and 14 of the letter left by Prot.

WHAT SENATOR EDMUNDS SAYS ABOUT THE MATTER. “Senator, it Is said that some of the states have not yet made a return of theirelectoral votes,” said @ Stan reporter to Senator Edmunds, acting Vice President of the United States, to-day. “I am glad,” replied the Senator, “that this is something Ican tell Tak STAR about without re- serve. All but the states of Oregon and Jowa have sent in their electoral returns by mall. Now, a3 to the returns by messenger, a number of states are yet delinquent, The states of Caltfornia, Florida, fowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas and Wisconsin have not yet sent in their electoral votes by messenger.” “Will this delinquency invalidate the vote of any of these states, Senator?” asked the reporter. “The act of Congress,” Senator Edmunds replied, pene that there shall be three sets of the elec- toral votes. One shall be deposited with the dis- trict Judge, a second shall be sent to the president of the Senate by mall and a third by Seragr ad ‘Uhat messenger to be Culy appoluted by the elec- toral college. These returns must be delivered to ‘the president of the Senate by the lirst Wednesday in January. If the messenger falls to deliver the vote entrusted to him by the time prescribed, the Jaw further provides that a heavy penalty shall be Imposed upon him. These certilicates of the vote of a state are duplicates, and the law also provides that If the vote of any state has not been received by the first Wednesday in January, then U tary of State shalMsend a spectal messenger to Ut district judge of the delinquent state, where, under law, the first set must be deposited, and pro- curé that, which must. be delivered ‘to the Vice President forthwith. These are the main provis- fons of the law.” The Fight © Naval Appropria- tion Bill, A POSSIBLE DEADLOCK AND EXTRA SESSION OF CON- Guess. ‘The House will take no action upon the bill mak- Ang appropriations for the naval service for the succeeding six months, which was passed in the Senate just before the holiday adjournment, and the committee will not recognize it in their consid- eration of the subject. The bill has been sent to ‘the Secretary of the Navy, however, with a detailed comparison ‘between it and that ‘for the first six Months. Thts shows tt to be practically an appro- priation for three months instead of six, as 1t ap ropriates no more than would probably have (0 eexpended between this and the 4th of March; and some of the democrats in the House say {t was, the purpose of the Senate to make an appropria- Uon to last just that long, and to leave without money When Cleveland comes In. money should thus be all expended on the 4th of March, the navy, under the new administration, would’ be without money until the 1st of July, unless an extra session of the House Was called to provide for the deficency. ‘The statement furnished to the Secretary of the Navy shows that this bili would give the navy ‘$600,000 less han they had for the first half of the year and $590,000 less than they would have Lad for the hali-year If the original bill of the House had passed. “For the first Nalf of the year the bu- Feu of equipinent, and repalrs has ad $400.00, this bul provides that they shall have but $295,000. For the current expenses of the bureau $75,000 Was appropriated for tie first half-year, while the Sen- ae DoW proposes to give them but $25,000. For the bureau of navigation $50,000 was given; the Senate now proposes $25,000. The bill for the first six months appropriated $600,000 for the ex; of the bureau of steam engineering white the Senate's Dill for the iast haif appropriates but $250,000. Members of the House committee Say’ that the expenses of the navy bureaus are uniform the year through, and that if the 4] (on for the last six months were 80 mueb ess than that for the iirst t would necessarily be all expended before the year is up. ‘The impression 1s that If the Senate does not re- cede from its position entirely the House will sim- ply pass the appropriations for the next Mscal year and after the 4th of March an extra session Will have to be called.
