OVERHEAD WIRES IN THR DISTRICT OP COLUMBIA. Jn the Senate to-day the communication from the District Commissioners (printed in Tue Stak yesterday) in relation to permits issued lately for the erection of overhead electric wires, was sub- mitted and read. MR. EDMUNDS SURPRISED AT THR ACTION OF THE DIS- TRICT COMMISSIONERS. Senator Edmunds expressed bis surprise, and ‘said no doubt all other Senators were equally sur- Drised at the action of the Commissioners, in the face of the declared will ot Congress against over head wires; that in the very face of congressional action fixing a date for the removal of such wires the Commissioners should grant such a permit. He sald Congress had fixed September 15 a8 the date wnen permits for overhead wires should ‘cease, and the Commissioners had appeared energetic in thelr effort to anticipate that date. The Commisstoners bad, he Said, acted Very much as a firm of importers of foreign goods Would in anticipating a rise in prices or increase of tariff duties by laying in a heavy: Was to meet the objections of we President in h's Tecent Yeto to a like joint resolution as to the edition of 1886. When he introduced the latter resolution there was not a scrap of information as {o the edition of 1887, and he ‘thought that the President was mistaken. Mr. Manderson said that the committee on rinting had made an examination which satis. ed it t to be printed would the map proposed De actually that of the faltion of 1880. The plates from which they were to be printed had been made for the Government in 1886, and the only differ- ence would be a change of date. After further discussion the Joint resolution was referred to the committee on printing. WHITE DEPOSITORS IN THE FREEDMEN'S BANK. The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Ed- munds looking to the payment of white deposi- tors in the Freedmen’s Savings Bank, who were in ho Way connected with the mismanagement and fallure thereof, came up and was discussed. Mr. Beck argued that there were good reason why, white depositors should not be pafd anything. one of these being that they never had any right, under the law, to become depositors. ‘Mr. Edmund’ asked bim if there had been any discrimination up to this time against the poor White depositors in the payment or dividends. Nr. Beck repiled that there had not been, nor agalust the rich white depositors, eltuer. Dividends had Deen paid toall depositors just as in the case of other bankrupt banks, although many of the white tars were the speculators ‘who stole the money and broke up the bank. ‘He read 4 LETTER FROM MR. TRENHOLM to one of the white depositors informing him that the Dill was an act of gratuity, oran act of justice, tw colored depositors, and that neither be nor any other white depositor had any clalm elther on the bounty or justice of Congress, ‘Mr, Beck admitted that Congress was under ob- Ugation to the colored depositors to pay them the difference between the 62 per cent tn dividends already received and the full amount Of their credit; but Was under no such obligation to the wiite’ depositors, The resolution went over without action, Mr. Reagan touk the floor to speak on the Presi- dent's annual message. THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL. stock of goods, Mr. Edmunds severely arraigned the Commissioners, charging that they had vio- lated the law apd defied ‘the will of Congress. He moved the reference of the report to the District committee with instructions to report a resolution to compel the Commisstoners to stop tnat sort of business. ME, SHERMAN DEFENDS THE COMMISSIONERS. ‘Mr. Sherman was opposed to aay such instruc- tions, saying the Commissioners certainly under- Stood their business, He did not believe Mr. Ea- munds or anybody eise Would regret the carrying Out of this permit. He (Sherman) had once, on & stutlar question, placed himself in the attitude Mr. Edmunds occupied.

HARRIS EXPLAINED that the railway company proposed to erect a line of poles 1n the space between the twotracks; poles Would be erected at intervals of 100 yards, and the wire carrying the motive power would be strung On these poles, By that plan the poles and wires: Would be distant from the ordinary roadways on the two slues of the tracks, Mr. Sherman remarked that while Congress has the power to regulate the mode of erecting wires, Mt would be a denial of the right conferred upon this corporation by Congress to revoke or cancel this perunit; the experiment ought to be tried, ELECTRIC ROADS AND THE UNDERGROUND WIRES. ‘Mr. Gorman instanced an electric road in Balt- more where the cars were propelled with as much regularity as by steam, and yet there Was not a Wire overhead. They were all under ground, and he understood that the same expertinent’ had proved equally successful in New York. ‘MR. CHANDLER HOPES THE PERMIT WILL BE REVOKED. Mr. Chandler said that no doubt the electric railway 1s a great contrivance, but he asked Mr. Sherman if the electric motor did not necessarily carry a death-dealigg current, dangerous to life and property? Mr. Chandler had supposed that no more overhead wires were to be erected and he sincerely hoped that the permit conferred on the ‘corporation would be revoked. ‘Mr, Plumb stated that the paragraph in the Dis- trict appropriation bill relating to overhead wires applied only to electric ligut, telephone and tele. graph Wires; not to Wires for motive power; and he was enurely ignorant until now that such a Tailroad company had been incorporated. ‘Mr. Edmunds moved to refer the communteation to the committee on the District of Columbia with instructions to report a resolution requiring the Coumissioners to revoke the permits aiready Given, and to desist from granting such permits, AVORED THOROUGH INVESTIGATION. Mr. Harris favored the reference of the matter to the committee on District of Columbia, but he ‘objected to the proposed instructions, He con- tended that the subject was one of suMictent im- portance to demand a thorough and exbaustive Investigation, and he hoped one would be ordered to be conducted by the District committee.
