Atpres- ent there remains a section of about 1,400 feet of Bladensburg road that isunimproved. A macadam pavement has been laid to a width of 14 feet in the center of theroad and the sides are neatly grav- eled, On the Tenleytown Road more than halt of the road has been macadamized and the grading ot the remainder is nearly completed. All that will, then, remain to be done will be to lay the stone. The improvement of the Benning’s Road has been completed to the causeway, Which has been widened to 33 feet. The Toad, too, has been built up over afoot. Workmen are now engaged in resurfacing the 7th-street road from the top of the hill to the Rock Creek Church. Road, on such parts as may be necessary.

Nichols avenue, Anacostia, will be paved with rubble stone from Harrison street to the bridge. In every case the cost of the work will come within the estimates furnished. Congress appropriated $50,000 for constructing county Toads and suburban streets, including _ the completion of the Eastern Branch road, the Ben- ning’s road, the Tenleytown road and the Bladens- ‘burg road. ‘Shortly after the money became avail. able there was considerable debate asto what road Wasmeant by the “Eastern Branch Road,” and the District Commissioners failing to feel’ satisfied that it applied to any particular road now in ex- tstence have consumed its share in the improve. Ment of the other roads named. The estimates allowed about $20,000 to the Bladensburg, $11,000 to the Tenleytown and $15,000 to the Benning’s road. The balance—$4,000—was used in the pur- chase ot anew steam’ road roller. ‘There will, however, be enough money left from the work tO ay for the improvement of the “Eastern Branch ” if the District Commissioners decide which of thé two roads in debate st was intended to pro- Ir. ——— Nothing to Say.

Asked about his reported intention to resign at the coming convention Mr. Powderly replied: “There seems to be a mistake current as to the time the terms of the general officers of the Knights of Labor expire. We officers who were elected at the Richmond session last year were chosen to serve for two years, and as a conse- quence our successors will not be elected for one year hence, The origin of the rumor that I in- tended to this year started from a state- ment made by ime last May.

We have not had a war for twenty years, yet we have a Secretary of War. We have labor ali the time. |The country’s prosperity rests upon labor, and it is certainly more entitled to consideration at the hands of the Government than that which destroys capital and labor—war, We have no navy, and Yeo we have a Secretary of the Navy. I regard (vas most im- Portant that labor should be recognized and repre- sented in the Cabinet. T shall also review my pre- vious suggestion relative to the importance of a governmental telegraph.

In‘reference to the conflicting rumors—one that he would stump for Blaine, and the other that he Would speak in Cleveland’s behaif—he said: “I have expressed no opinion whatever on that sub- Ject, Iti too far ahead to say whether I shall take any part in the next national campaign or not.” «What is the present strength of the Knights of Labor, and what 1s the outlook for the usefulness Of the organization?” was asked. “Despite the reports to the contrary, the organt- zaiton fs stronger now than ever numerically and intellectually.” Its active membership 1s about 800,000 In good standing.

Some weeks later Cardinal Gibbons received a reply from Dr, Burtsell giving reasons and excuses why Dr. McGlynn did not go to Rome, As the answer trom Dr. Burtsell was address not to Car- dinal Simeon, but to Cardinal Gibbons himself, the latter saw no reason for handing the letter to the propaganda.
