The well-known journalists and representa- tives of the press who signed a circular invit- ing Miss Kate Field, who is in the city, to deliver her lecture upon temperance and pro- hibition, met with a heartier response in ever way than they could possibly have anticipate d, for Miss Field proposes not only to deliver her new address upon “The Intemperance of Pro- hibition,” before the members of the “fourth estate.” in this city.on Friday evening at Grand Army hall, at 4 o'clock, but she has issued cards of invitation to the members of the press and a few of her personal friends for the lecture, and am invitation for a reception and banquet which she will tender her guests immediately following the delivery of the address, Miss Field’s only desire is to know how many of those invited will engage to be present that she may provide for their entertainment ac- cording to numbers. The entire event is a free and fall compliment on the part of Miss Field to the people of the press, Mr. E. Francis Riggs, head of the firm of Riggs & Co., has just returned from a trip south.

The precise amount of the effective work done by Congress during the whole of the Fiftieth Congress has just been ascortained. There were 4,000 bills introduced in the Senate and 145 Senate joint resolutions; of this num- ber 1,127 bills and joint resolutions passed the Senate and 554 were either postponed indefi- nitely or referred to the Court of Claims, 80 that the total number on which final action was taken by the Senate was 1,631, The committee on enrolled bills examined 667 Senate bills and joint resolutions and sent them to the Presi dent and 591 became laws, the number of vetoes, inclnding “pocket” vetoes, being 76. The House of Representatives passed 1,561 House bills and sent them to the Senate, and the Senate passed 1,347 of them, leaving 214 by the wayside. The House passed 56 House joint resolutions and the Senate passed all of em but 8. In balancing the account it is therefore seen that the House passed 2,284 House and Senate bills, while the Senate passed 2,522. That leaves a balance, in favor of the superior busi- ness activity of the Senate, of 233, Interstate Commerce Investigation. PLANS OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE. Ata meeting of the Senate committee on interstate commerce to-day arrangements were made for pursuing the investigation of Cana- dian transportation matters, ordered by reso- Iution of the Senate August 3d, of last year. It was determined to meet in New York city May 15 and spend a week there examining witnesses. The plans of the committee are not perfected further, although it is probable that before the summer is over the committee will go as far westas Duluth, if not over the entire length of the Canadian Pacific road. The committee consists of Senators Cullom, Platt, Blair, Wilson, of Iowa, Hiscock, Harris, Gor- man, Reagan and Barbour. Mr. Hiscock is also a member of he special committee on the Pacific railroads, which has arranged to make atrip of about six weeks’ duration over the lines of the Union and Central Pacific railroads, Loe April 6th, fhe resolution authorizing the investigation reads; That the committee on interstate com- merce be directed to ascertain and report whether any railroad lines located in the United States are owned, operated, or controlled by the Grand ‘Trunk, Canadian Pacitic, or any other Canadian railroad corporation; whether commerce originating in the United States is diverted from American to Canadian lines of transportation, and, if so, to what extent and by what means; and whether there is any discrimination in the charges made for tolls or otherwise against American vessels which pass through the Welland and Lawrence ‘anals. The committee is further directed to inquire fully into the question of the regula- tion of the commerce carried on by railroad or water routes between the United States and Canada, and to report what legislation, if any, is necessary for the protection of the commer- cial interests of the United States or to pro- mote the enforcement of the interstate com- merce act. Railroad Managers Warned. CHAIRMAN COOLEY'S PLAIN TALK ABOUT VIOLA- TIONS OF THE Law. The conference between the interstate-com- | merce commission and railroad managers rela- | tive to the matter of export rates was concluded yesterday. Tuesday, April 2, was fixed uponas the day when the southern carriers will be | heard in the matter of export rates and method | of computing them, The commission will give a hearing to passenger associations regarding the issuance and printing of tariffs on Thurs- day, Chairman Cooley reiinded the railroad men that. although the hearing was suspended for two weeks in order to give the southern carriers an opportunity to be heard, the law was not | suspended. Continuing, he said: ‘The time | ought to be considered as gone by when a man- | ager can come to us and say, ‘I named this rate | and I did it regardless of law, because my com- petitor has done the same thing.’ excuse for that practice. If a wrong is done by one road to the injury of another, the proper method of redress is not to duplicate the wrong, but to go before the common authérity, whether it be the commission or the voluntary association, with complaint of the wrong. One crime in railroad circles isno more to be ex- cused by another than one theft is to be justi- fied by another, and it ought to be just as dis- creditable to violate a criminal law which af- fects railroad managers, in order to make money for their roads, as it is to violate crim- inal law in the appropriation of private prop- erty.” ALEXANDRIA, Reported for THE EVENING Stax. Ovp FeLiows’ ANNivERsSARY.—The fiftieth niversary of Potomac Lodge, I. O. O.

H.PARKER THAT THE BREWING COMPANY'S SWITCH OF THE BALTIMORE AND POTOMAC ROAD INJURES THE VALUE OF REAL ESTATE AND IS DANGEROUS TO LIFE AND LIMB. The question regarding the rights of railroad companies to operate switches not provided for in their charter is an old one, and Tae STaR has frequently referred to communications from Messrs. Parker and Dwyer, of South Washington, who bave been so persistent in their efforts to have the streets of South Wash- ington freed of the alleged nilisances caused by the steam railroad tracks in them. Attorney Riddle stated in a communication to the Com- missioners that if some reputable citizen would come forward and make aftidavit that the rail- road company was violating the law he would prosecute it. | Late yosterday afternoon Mr. Chas. H. Parker made affidavit as follows: “That Lam resident at 439 6th street southwest in this city, reais aswitch ene into the property of the Bergner & Engel brewing com- Naar on view plead between 6th and 7th streets south wegt, on the south side, is injuring the rental valué of the property known as 603 Virginia avenue, and is also dangerous to life and limb. i 2 The permit for the switch, which was issued during Captain Griffin's administration as as- sisistant to the engineer Commissioner, is the revocable kind; that is, it may be revoked by the Commissioners if they deem it expedient. ‘The Commissiouers have already deemed the track laid by the Baltimore and Potomec rail- road on H street, between Canal and South Capitol streets, objectionable, and have issued an order notifying the railroad company to see to its removal. This is the first permit of the kind that was ever revoked by the Commis- sioners, and the citizens of South Washington are anxiously looking for early relief in their section, TWO MORE AFFIDAVITS, To-day Messrs, Parker and Dwyer again called upon the Commissioners and presented two affidavits, one from Patrick Sullivan, bear- ing upon the obstruction of E street south- west. The affidavit is as follows: I, Patrick Sullivan, being duly sworn, on oath say thatI am residing at 214 E street that the crossing of E southwest in this city street southwest and Virginia avenue south- west is closed entirely by two lines of fences which totally prevents tlie travel of the general public on E street at that point. The only way to reach E street east of Virginia avenue south- west is to cross Virginia avenue at ist street or | 2d street: also that asa general thing cars are left standing at this point. Patrick SULLIVAN. The other affadavit is made by Messrs, Pa: and Dwyer and has reference to the illegal track of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad crossing D street southwest and entering square 4 ‘The affidavit is as follows: We, Charles H, Parker and Philip N. Dwyer, being duly sworn on oath, say that we are resid- ing at Nos. 439 and 508 6th strect southwest, re- spectively, in this city; that to the best of our knowledge and belief we consider the railroad track branching off from main track on Virgi- nia avenue southwest, crossing D street, and en- tering the freight-yard in square 493, us illegal, and also_a serious nuisance and injurious to surrounding property, and also that the shift- ing of cars blocks D ‘street at times as to make it impossible to pass. We also believe that cer- for a public alley, and that at the present time part of it is open’ to the public and contains a ublic sewer, and also that part of said alley is fede taed by other parties for private pur- poses for a freight station. THE FOLLOW accompanied the aftidavits: Wasuixatox, D, C., March 19, 1 Hon. Commissioners District of Columbia: GENTLEMEN: We inclose attidavit of Mr. Pat- rick Sullivan as to the obstruction of the cross- ing of E street and Virginia avenue southwest, and also request that orders be given imme- diately for the removal of fence, the placing of safety gates, and the laying of suitable crossing for wagons and pedestrians, E street is open LETTER | from Water street to the Congressional ceme- tery, with the exception of this unlawful ob- struction at Virgima avenue, Very respectfully, C. H. Parker. Pur N. Dwrer. WHAT CITIZENS OF SOUTH WASHINGTON SAY. Mr. H. Shea, of the South Washington citizens’ protective association, in speaking of the requested revocation of the permit, said: he Commissioners are just waking up. The permit, in the first place, was illegal, and never in the right direction to revoke it, and all ille- gal tracks in South Washington are sure to go. Our grievances, consisting of the blockading of Virginia avenue, still continues, however, and we are now waiti for anew set of Commis- sioners who have the interest of the people at heart before renewing the fight.” “The whole thing resolves itself into this,” said Mr. P. N. Dw: “The revocation of the permit showed conclusively that the Commis- sioners were wrong in granting it in the first place, for on the other hand were the tracks egal the vallrcad company would be strong enough to counterbalance any effort of ours to ave them removed. The Commissioners are valizing that their time is short, and they nt to go out of office having it to their credit that th the relief of the people of South Washington.” Mr. Charles H. Parker said: **Dhere is no doubt in my miud but that the permit was illegal in the beginning, as well as many others in that section, and the revocation of the one on H street merely substantiates that state. ment. all the illegal permits for side tracks will fol- low.” ~ ee Transfers of Real Estate.

TRE SNAKE WAS EMACIATED WHEN KILLED AND DWINDLED AWAY RAPIDLY AFTER DEATH, Information was received at Tue Strap office this morning that an enormous snake had been killed at 12th street and Ohio avenue, near the Drover’s Rest.
