The Bil Under Consideration in the House in Committee of the Whole. The consideration of the District appropria- tion bill was resumed in the committee of the whole House today. The suggestion was made to some of the members of the committee be- matter they had endangered the new provisions had been put in this bill. requiring wires put under ground, and fixing s tax of on all telegraph and telephone poles left standing on streets or avenues after July 1, 1891, The old rules prohibited new legislation on appropriation and under those rules vans visions might be stricken out on » point of st. Members of the subcommittee a conference on thesubject and decided to go on with the bill, as they were prepared with argu- ments to meet this objection. When the bill came =e in the House Mr. Crisp announced that he had a letter from Mr. Clements, a member of the subcommittee, stating that Mr. McComas was mistaken in his assertion yesterday that the committee was ao im its approval of the items of the ‘There was some immaterial discussion of the pepe of iormer bills being called up by lemocrats in the absence of republican mem- of the subcommittee. ‘The reading of the ras then proceeded with, ORITICIZING THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMITTEE. Mr. Blount took the floor and criticized the majority of the committee for hurrying this bill through at the risk of improper expendi- ture of money. He claimed that the bill had been drawn up before the members of the com- mittee had copies of the Commissioners’ re- port. Mr. McComas replied to this that galley sheets of the report upon which the estimates were based had been furnished members of the committee, Mr. Sayers said that these galley sheets had been on the desks of the members for ouly bers bill MORE TOBACCO-TAX TALK. Continuation of the Hearing Before the Ways and Means Committee. The first gentleman to appear before the ways and means committee today was I. Bijur of New York, who said that imported tobacco, whether from Cuba or Sumatra, was injurious to a great industry in seven of our states, For- Foreign cigars paid so high a rate of duty that dealer who desired to manufacture cigars from foreign tobacco was given an unequalled meas- ure of protection, There were two remedies: First, to regulate the tax that the manufacturer of foreign tobacco shall have no advantage from the cost of foreign cigars—then he would drop the foreign tobacco; second, to raise the tax on all tobacco that comes into competition with domestic tobacco, rp =e Flower—And that is what you are here for Witness—Yes, sir, WANTS THE DUTY FROM $3 To $5 A POUND. Mr. Lafollete--Witness said that imported wrapper tobacco should pay a duty of at least $3a pound. That would give our own growers no protection, but just place them on an equal- ity with the foreign growers, If protection wore the object the duty should be even higher —between $3 and $5 a pound, The duty on fillers—35 conts—was about right. Mr. Carlisle—The witness said that he was a packer, but had never deserted the farmer. WOULD REMOVE THE REVENUE TAX. 8. G. Hubbard. president of the New England tobacco grower’s association, said there was no adequate protection at present for the tobacco grower. His association had fer several years petitioned to have the internal revenue tax on tobacco repealed. The farmer paid 150 per cent tax, Mr. Carlisle said that the tax on tobacco was ae cents a pound, which wae but 100 per cen’ 3. The witness said it was 12 cents on cigar to- acco, Mr. Carlisle—Rut the farmers do not pay that, that is only paid after the tobacco is three hours before the bill was acted upon. MB, M'COMAS REPLIES TO INSINUATIONS OF EX- TRAVAGANCE. In reply to the insinuation of extravagance Mr. McComas replied that the increase in this bill was small and that the items of increase were matters of great importance. Ninety-five thousand dollars of the increase was for the per- fection of the sewerage system for the benefit of the city. Other increases were for schools, for charity, reformatories and prisons, for lighting the streets, for repairing damages done by the floods, &c, All these increases were necessary, But with all this the per cent of increase was less than had been customary from year to year by the democratic commit- tee, The increase of 1888 over 1887 was 9 per cent; of 1889 over 1888 was 15 per cent; of 1890 over 1889 was 9 per cent—all this under demo- cratic control—while in this bill the increase ‘was only 8 per cent, Mr, Blount made further criticism of the committee. Mr. Henderson of Iowa declared that the bill had been drawn up with the greatest economy, It was, he declared, as carefully prepared a bill as had ever been presented in this House, PRICE OF CONCRETE PAVEMENT. The reading of the bill proceeded by para- graphs without interruption until the pro- vision was reached relating to the price to be paid for concrete pavement. Mr. Spinola then objected that there was no provision’ for the use of the best material for these pave- ments and intimated that there might be. Mr. McComas informed him that the provis- ions in the bill limiting the price to be paid was one that had been kept in the bill for the purpose of preventing Jobs, After a few moments of breezy discussion the matter was dropped and the reading of the bill continued, COUNTY ROADS. When the appropriations for country roads were reached Mi, Compton offered an amend- ment increasing the appropriation for grading and regulating Naylor road from Good Hope hil to the District line from #1,500 to $2,500. He said that this was one of the most used roads leading from the District and one of the handsomest drives, and that the appropriation for its improvement was utterly inadequate. He complained that partiality was shown to the northwestern over the southeastern section of the city. He quoted the items in the bill to prove this, Mr. McComas said he would not oppose the amendment, but that he wanted to call his col- league's attention to the fact that the appro- priation for all the outlying roads had been greatly increased from year to year and that in this bill there was a considerable increase in this direction, STREET SWEEPING, The provision in the item for sweeping streets, which limited the coutract price for the work to 30 cents per thousand square yards, was stricken out, as the present contracts have not yet expired, Mr. Hemphill asked if there was any provis- ion in the law requiring the street cleaning to | be done at night, instead of throwing the dust in the faces of pedestrians, 1 wish there was,” replied Mr. McComas, hen why do you not make such a provis- ion,” Mr. Hemphill asked. Mr, McComas—“If the gentleman will pro- pose one I shall not make a point of order against it.” Luter Mr. McComas added that by the terms of the contract the hours forthe work were prescribed, but that with one excuse and another, sweeping was done outside of these ours. OVERHEAD WIRES, When the clause was reached providing that no overhead wires for public or private light- ing shall be permitted on or over any of the streets and avenues of the city, Mr. Atkinson made @ point of order that the provision was new legislation, He said that he was in favor of putting wires under ground, but that itshould be done properly, not hastily, with no provision as to the method of doing it. Some systems of underground wires, he said, were dangerous. He thoughta bill might be brought from a proper committee providing for the District Commissioners to investigate the sub- jeet and report to Congress on some plan. Mr. McComas appealed to Mr. Atkinson if he was in favor of putting the wires under- ground not to stand in the way of the accom- plishment of this by insisting on the point of order. Mr. Bland took occasion to suggest that the evil of the course followed in the adoption of Mr. McComas’ resolution yqsterday bad come home to plague him. Mr. McUomas urged that as the rules were not adopted until after the bill was betore the House, they did not apply to the exclusion of matter already in @ body of the bill; that the point of order woul hold good only against amendments. Thechair (Mr. Burrows) sustained thu point of order, and the provision was thrown out of the bill, ; Mr. McComas then proposed to retain the same provision by providiny that the public wires being under ground should be a condi- tion of the appropriations. This was ruled out of order on a point made by Mr. Atkinson. Mr. McComas then proposed to insert the provision of the present law, which provides that none of the money appropriated shall be used to pay for lighting by overhead wires after the time being ‘changed to November 80, 1889, Mr. Hemphill opposed the amendment upon the grounds that the streets would be torn up. Mr. MeComas said that the electric wires were already under ground by virtue of the present urpose in re-enacting the law was to keep them there and to prevent new todo the little that had been accomplished. He did not want the little now done uadone again. itr, Crain calied attention to the fact that Mr. Edison held that wires were as dangerous underground as above it. Mr. McComas said that Mr. Westinghouse had roplied to that, answering all of Br. Edison's objections, i ‘the amendment re-enacting the provision of the present law was then adupted. Nominations Today. The President sent the following nomina- tions to the Senate today: Postmasters.—B. Wilson Smith at Lafay- ette, Ind.; Oliver M. Tichenor, Princeton, Ind. ; George Z. Wood, Mitchell, Ind. War—First Lieut, Mason M. Maxon, tenth cavalry, to be captain; 2d Lieut. Wm. E. Shipp, tenth cavalry, to be first lieutenant; 2d Lieat. Charies Benuett, third artillery, to be first heutenant; Ist Lieut. Alexander R. M. Weth- eriil, sixth infantry, to be captain; Second Lieut, Wilds P. Richardson, eighth funtry, first lieutenant; First Lieut, James For- nance, thirteenth intantry, captain; Second law, | made into cigars, Witness—Weil, we feel it indirectly. Mr. Carlisle desired to press the inquiry upon this point, but finally consented to allow the witness to read the statement he had prepared. He favored the imposition of a duty of $2 a pound on Sumatra tobacco, though he was not sure that rate was not too low. PASSED THE CIGARS, W.C. Morse, representing the Chemung valley tobacco growers’ association, eaid that the to- bacco growing industry was suffering from the importation of foreign products. The Sumatra tobacco had driven out of the market that portion of the domestic crop which brought & price above the cost of production. For years the farmer had looked to the wrap- pers for his profit, Under present conditions the farmer could not much longer endure the Strain and loss, If the farmers did not get re- dress today the production of cigar leaf to- bacco in this country would end. He contended that a good wrapper could be produced in America, and he passed around a box of cigars with American wrappers in support of his con- tention, declaring that the American wrapper made a cigar attractive to all who loved to- bacco better than quinine. Beyond a doubt these superior wrappers could be grown here in sufficient quantity to supply all the cigars used in this countr; eee: THE SEN. DEBATE, Continued From the First Page. Mr. Voorhees, continuing his remarks, said: THE ACTION OF CHAMBERS called for his summary dismissai. No better opportunity could present itself to the Presi- dent than was now presented to define his con- nection with Dudley and with Dudley's crime, Benjamin Hartison was President of the United States, and, as such, was called upon to spurn the disgraceful example. IN CONCLUSION, Mr. Voorhees declared that bribe-givers, bribe- takers and all the indorsers of bribery should be regarded as pirates and enemies of the hu- man race, MR. EDMUNDS’ AMENDMENT. Mr. Edmunds offered an amendment for the preamble and resolution, so as to strike out the preamble and make it read: That the Attorney General be and hereby is instructed to inform the Senate what instrue- tioys, if any, the Depar’ment of Justice has given to 8. N. Chambers, district attorney for the district of Indiana on the subject of the arrest of W. W. Dudley or his exemption from arrest, and by what authority of law any such instructions have been given, and copies of all such correspondence be trans- mitted to the Senate.” He expressed (sarcastically) his edmiration of and concurrence in the beautiful tribute of the Senator from Indiana to the value of political morality. He also gave his adhesion to Mr. Voorhees’ denunciation of political immorality. If Mr. Dudley bad done the thing imputed to him he had certainly committed (if not a crime against the United States) a crime against that | class of public morality which the Senator had. so beautifully described, and which, as be aid, was so essential to the safety and’ perpetuity of republican institutions. still it was possible that the so-called Dudley letter bad been forged or so altered as to make an innocent (a morally innocent) politicai let ter appear to be a morally guilty one. There were instances of suc 4 pol cal forgeries about the time of presidential elections—such as the Morey letter. A RIPPLE OF LAUGHTER and applanse ran over the galleries and repub- ean sideof the Senate when Mr. Edwunds sent to the desk and had read the letter written by the chairman of one of the democratic county committees in Indiana which was written some months before the Dudley letter and which resembled the Dudley letter so closely that Mr. Edmunds characterized it as a “twin brother.” MR. EDMUND’S SUBSIITUTE ADOPTED, The preamble to the Voorhees’ resolution was laid on the table and the substitute by Mr. Edmunds was adopted by a vote of 31 to 24. ADJOURNED, At 3:05 the Senate ad journed, The Grip. Mr. M. B. Gorman, the clerk in the detective office, feft for his home this morning with symptoms of the grip. There are today fifty-seven of the police force on the sick list, including Capt. Austin, Inspector Swindells and Lieut, Gessford, and ail of these are recovering, Treasurer Huston has the grip. He has been suffering from a severe vold tor several days aud has kept at his desk with difficulty, To- day ver, the ravages of the in: i fluenza became too much for him and he was forced to go home aud go to bed. Judge Albert C. ‘thompson of Ohio is suffe: ing with a complication ot the grip that reu- ders his case something serious, For several | days influenza hus had its grip on the Olio | Representative, but with the aid of his physi- cian.

Assistant Chief Belt has the grip and there cil fiiteen men in the fire department at home sick. There is one statesman at the Houseend of the Capitol who has not had the grip. A Stan reporter approached him today and inquired “Weil, colonel, what are your symptomsy mptoms, What symptoms?” “Why, the grip, colonel. ‘The public is yearning to know what symptoms are.” ane shave not had it “What!” “Young man, Tam-the most unfashionable man living.

CHINESE GAMBLING. “Song Sing Lung” Charged With Keep- ing a Disorderly House. A Chinaman named Song Sing Lung was charged in the Police Court this afternoon with keeping # disorderly house at 108 434 street, Detective Mahon testified that he visited the house on the first of January and found the place noisy and a nuisance to all the neighbors, He said that there were men in the place, five of whom were placed under arrest, and a large quantity of opium, pipes and other such materials were found. Officer Goff tes- tified to the house being disorderly and noisy, A game of some sort was generally in progress, the noise from which could be heard even down tothe avenue. No one seemed able to identify the Chinaman under arrest as Lung, and difficulty was met with in proving him to be the proprietor of the place, Officer Costello said the place was FITTED UP 48 A GAMBLING HOUSE and the noise of chips and dominoes could always be heard. Mrs. Gilbert testiffed that the rear of the Chinaman's building adjoined her house, which is on Missouri avenue, and that she has often been annoyed by the dis- turbancesat the Chinese grocery store. Other witnesses testified to the character of the Chinese house, and all agreed it was @ nuisance but ail said they would be UNABLE TO IDENTIFY A CHINAMAN, Moy Philip was called, but Mr. Shillington objected to his testifying until it was known whether he believed in God and his oath would be legal. The court said he was willing to swear him on a chicken’s head if that was more binding than the Bible, but Moy said he be- lieved in God and if he lied he would sin, and he had been taught in Sunday school that he would be punished if he sinned. Moy said the prisoner lived at the place in question, 108 434 street, but was only a boarder there. He sai the prisoner was named Lee Hing and there was FO SUCH MAN as Song Sing Lung, that being only a name to hide the ideutification of the owner in case of legal trouble. The innocent Mongolian on the stand did not know who owned the store, who managed it, what his friend’s business was, or anything vital to the case. Judge Miller seemed to doubt the man’s honesty and asked him where he attended Sunday school, “At Ascension «hurchee’ siid Moy, Mrs. Levy testitied to the bad character of the place, but said she was unable to know one heathen from another. Mr. Shillington argued the case and said it was not pape whether the defendant was Lung or Lee or any other Chinaman. Judge Miller sustained the point and dismissed the case with the remark that the house was clearly guilty, but no one could tell who the manager was, —— W. C. 'T. U.

Lusk today in passing upon the case s: that the current coutracts between the gas com- panies and the District are silent on the subject of the cost of repairing over the trenches made in erecting gas lamps. The gas companies, he says, have been im the bavit of repairing’ all sidewalks and roadways and the District has repaired all cuts in the concrete streets.

Some time ago Tax Stan referred to the let- ter of Messrs, Morris & Hamilton, attorneys for the Baltimore and Onio railroad company, | in which they called attention to the present method of grading the streets in Eckington | and other subdivisions in the District outside | of the city limits the streets of which cross the tracks of the Metropolitan branch of the Balti- more and Qhio railroad The attorneys called attention to the fact that these streets were so graded as to cross the traeks at grade, a method which they said subjected the public to all the dangers and inconveniences of grade crossings and the com- Pany to liability and to the necessity and ex- pense of maintaining gates and guarda, The matter was referred to Capt, Rossell, who made his report to the Engineer Commissioner as << “The within request of the counsel of the Baltimore and Ovio railroad company with reference to crossings of streets by their rail- road in the Djstrict of Columbia is forwarded for the consideration of the Commissioners, ‘The enciosed report of Mr. Bailey, computing engiueer, proposes to regard the railroad in the same light as a stream, building roads parallel to it on each side with occasional er say from six to teu blocks apart. This will reduce the number of dangerous crossings or crossings of any kind and until the suburban parts of the District are more thickly settled than they are now would probably furnish all the relief necessary. It, however, leaves the question open for the crosangs that must be made and in nearly every case the situation of the ground points to a grade crossing. Any chauge that is from a =e crossing will add to the ex- | pense of subdividing and grading the lots for | building purposes or else will require a change in the grade of the railroad at a large expense tothem. These matters should be attended to before the time when danger and damage may occur at grade crossings. It seems to me that it would be proper to consult with the railroad companies entering the District of Columbia, and from mutual discussion with them the Dis- trict Commissioners might propose some law which, being passed by Congress, would settle the whole matter. I & not think it is the de- sire of the railroad company to force this mat- | ter to immediate issue, but is intended to open up the whole subject. “In regard to the subdivision known as Eck- ington it would be impossible for the owners to raise the grades of their streets to make over- head crossings without incurring such expense 48 would amount to confiscation of cousiderable property. The present grades are those that have been allowed to be used and I do not think an arbitrary changeat the present time would be right. I therefore merely forward this paper for the consideration of the Com- missioners,” Major Raymond today took the matter up and endorsed the foliowing memoraudum upon the papers which he submitted to the board for their action: “The public interests demand that the tracks of the itimore and Ohio railway should be relocated as soon as possible, When this is done grade crossings should be abolished so far as practicable and at the expense of the company, The proposition of Messrs. Morris & Hamilton that the grades of public streets shall be fixed at the expense of the public to suit the convenience of the railway company does not strike me favorably.” LABORERS AS CLERKS, The Civil Service Law Violated in Philadetphia. Some time ago the local civil service reform association complained to the civil service commission that the law was being violated by Collector of Customs Cooper of Philadelphia in the matter of removals and appointments. Commissioner Roosevelt went over and investi- gated the case of two men named Cunningham and Webb, who had been appointed laborere in the custom house and assigned to clerkships. WHAT COMMISSIONER LYMAN SAYS. Commissioner Lyman says that Commis- sioner Roosevelt reported that these men were both appointed laborers and while borne on the rolls as such were assigned to clerical duties, and adds that the commission cannot prevent this in the customs service, In the depart- mental service the orders of classification made by the cabinet ministers by the direction of the President contain a provision forbidding the assigning of a laborer to clerical duty. In the customs service a laborer may do aclerk’s duty, but he may not be promoted to a clerkship or receive a clerk's salary, ‘The commission has prepared a revision of the customs classification,which if approved by the Secretary of the Treasury will prevent any future assignment of laborers to clerical duties in the customs servi The Brightest and Best.
