The report of the board of naval officers upon ‘the Washington Navy-Yard relative to the build- ings needed for a gun foundry did not meet with Secretary Whitney's approval, because it recom- ‘mended the entire reconstruction of the buildings. ‘The Secretary, after inspecting the yard, thought ‘that a number of the buildings could be remod- eled to advantage without tearing them down, and at saving of over $100,000. The ordnance nt was instructed to'draw up plans and specifications in ‘accordance with the amended Tecommendations, Upon inspecting the yardagain Tecently, however, te Secretary ifarned that furs ther changes in ‘the buildings will have to be made than was at first supposed, in order to fit them for the work necessary, and an additional delay will be necessary. It is probable that naval ofiicers will be sent to private establishments to inspect the most modern appliances and build- ings.

Symons, of the engineer depart- ment of the District government, 1s engaged in preparing a list of those localities which are to be benefited under the appropriation of $50,000 by Congress for main and pipe-sewers. The great difficulty in the matter 1s that 1t will cost about double the sum appropriated to supply the de- mand in all sections, and, therefore, much consid- eration must be given the question how to divide the amount of money availabte so that all sec- tions may be, to some extent, relieved. Capt. sy- mons desires to lay a large ‘trunk sewer in Ten- nessee avenue, in order that this large newiy- built-up section may be provited with necessary comforts, and, also, to extend a sewer in 12th street southeast. West Washington, too, is occu- pying his attention, and feels the necessity of re- Placing the old sewers, which are in a wretched condition, with new ones. ‘The whole matter is left, however, to the discretion of the Et Commissioner, who may or may not approve the plans which will be subinitted to him. 4 — CONSTRUING THE COMMERCE AcT. important Rulings ef the Interstate Comniission. In addition to the rulings and interpretations of the interstate commerce law, given in THR STaR yesterday, the Commission hus made public rul- ings covering the following points: PENALTIES ONLY FOR INTENTIONAL VIOLATIONS OP THE LAW. They say the numerous petitions emanating from commerce carriers, or instigated by them, are based upon the assumptio:: iat the system of penalties which the law proviues as extreme and the risk imposed upon unintentional and un. willing violators of its provisions as enor- mous, Such comment, say the Commis- sion, is neither fair nor ‘just; it 1s only in: tentional violations that the penalties are for. “Good faith,” say the commission, “exhibited in an honest effort to carry out the requirements of the law, will involve reasonable and fair-minded officials in no danger of damages or fines The elasticity of the statute in their favor 1s notice. able. ‘The unjust discrimination of section 2 must be ‘ina like and contemporaneous ser- vice in the transportation of a like kind of traffic under substantially similar circumstances and conditions.’ ‘The reference or advantage of sec- ton 3 must be ‘undue or unreasonable.’ ‘Through- out the act, as It now stands In confe ex. perimental torm, there is exhibited an obvious ‘and a generous purpose to allow to the corpora- ‘ons ample scope in the conduct of their business a3 common earriers for the people, and fair con- sigeraiien of every reasonable Clalni, while insist- ing upon impartial, open and. consistent Fikes Bt eliargé, to whlch’ every. citizen call be subject alike Whose situation Is the same.

In regard to the course of common carriers in increasing their rates, the Commission holds that thatisunjustifiable, They say: “The language and the tenor of the act wholly fail to Justify railroad managers, if any such there be, to refusetoaccept respol ties, decline to offer rates, toan- ounce conditions of traftic, embarrass te ‘cus. tomary interchange of business and impose stag- nation upon trade while they “stick in the bark” of ‘the phrases and expressions of the law, inventing doubts and imagining dangers.
