With one or two exceptions all the recommendations of the Senate committee, which were printed in full in THE Stan last Friday, were agreed to. THREE MARKET MASTERS, On motion of Mr. Ingalls the number of mar- ket masters was restored to three. The House provided for three, but the Senate committee had reduced the number to two, Mr. Ingalls, who is very familiar with all ‘the affairs of Washington, sald that a market master was necessary ior each market, HEALTH DEPARTMENT. The sum for contingent expenses of the health department, which had been increased by the committee from $2,500 to $4,000, on motion of Mr. Plumb, was still further increased to SUBURBAN STREETS, When the item of $40,000 for opening and extending suburban streets in connection with existing streets within municipal limits was reached, Mr. Logan moved to amend by Ins ing the clause, “providing that nothing in this section shall’ be construed to authorize the Widening o! streets now open.” Mr. Plumb said the Commissioners could not open or widen any street without the previous consent of the owners of property tobe affected. ‘Mr. Lovan did not care to run “any risks, He wanted to protect his property un 13th street extension, Mr. Ingalls remarked that he did not think the Senator from Ilinois had any cause for ap- Prenension, to which Mr. Logan. retorted “When I see bills introduced here by Senators, and ais in the House of Representatives which calculated to destroy the property of others and benefit their own, I certainly have cause for apprebension. Finally the restrictive clause was adopted. MR. HAWLEY'S APPEAL FOR LIBERAL SCHOOL APPROPRIATIONS, Mr. Hawley made an earnest appeal for more liberal appropriations for schoo! buildings, The Senate committee recommended that the appropriation for school buildings be increased from $40,000, as_ provided by the House, to | $65,000.

OVER GU The The “follow the leader” run on bicycles last Friday alternoon, which was briefly mentioned in Saturday's STAR, was one of the most inter- esting wheeling events, bo.n to participants and spectators that has occurred here for a long time, Mr. H.S. Owen, one of the charter mem- bers of the Capital Bicycle club, has for many years been in the habit of celebrating his birth- day by giving a run on wheels to bis brother members of the Capital club; but the celebra- | tion this year surpassed all others in ingenious eccentricities. The rules of Fri- day’s rm were that each man should be given @ numbered badge before the start, and should take his place in line accordingly. 10 case of a fall ora disinount he should relinquish it and fail back to the end of the line.
