The Secretary has, in my opinion, abundant authority to ap- point all necessary agents, as well as make all needfal regulations to secure the prompt, suc- cessful and humane execution of these import- aut statutes.” CAPITOL 1 TOPICS. MORE MEDICAL EXAMINERS NEEDED. The Secretary of the Interior has forwarded to the President of the Senate a letter from Commissioner of Pensions Green B. Raum in which the commissioner appeals to Congress for legislation which will allow him to im- mediately appoint thirty additional medical examiners at a salary of $1,800 each. A joint resolution accompanied the letter, which was referred to the committee on appropriations, ‘The resolution provides for the appointment of the required officials, and says that the ap- pointments shall be made after such examina- tion ax shall be prescribed and directed by the Secretary of the Interior. EXCLUSION OF ONINESE. Senator Mitchell has introduced a bill,which, if passed, would absolutely prohibit the en- trance of Chinese persons into this country, whether they are subjects of the Chinese em- mony. Marshall Cooper and Keener Tatts, employed on the farm of John O. Devries, at Eldersburg, were arrested Saturday on the charge of sys- tematic stealing from the stores of the mer- chants at Sykesville. Their practice was to visit the stores at an early hour jn the morning while the clerks were opening the establish- ments for the day and skillfully pocket small articles lying about. The merchants who suf- fered most were E, M. Mellor and David Dono- van. A trap was set for Cooper and he was caught in the act of stealing gloves. Th rooms of the two cu¥prits were searched ant large quantities of stolen goods found there. Both men were arrested, but on the way to jail Cooper escaped and has not yet been appre- henued. Hammond Urner, son of Hon. Milton G. Urner of Frederick, was a guest at a banquet given a few nights ago at the Hotel Bellevue pire or not. JACKSON'S DAY. Mr. Washington has introduced a bill in the | House fixing the 8th day of January as a na- tional holiday in commemoration of the life, character and services of Andrew Jackson. INVITATIONS TO EX-CONFEDERATES. Two well-known Baltimoreans, James R. Wheeler and Joseph R. Stonebraker, were at the Capitol yesterday inviting prominent ex- confederates to attend the annual banquet of the Confederate Society of Maryland, which is Repre- sentatives Hooker of Mississippi and Wheeler of Alabama promised to be there, but no detinite assurances were received from any of the ex- confederate Senators. ‘A VACANCY QUIETLY FILLED. One of the pleasant places on the Senate side of the Capitol has been filled very quietly—so quietly, in fact, that the newspaper men have only just become aware of the fact that the va- cancy has been filled. When Assistant Libra- rian McKee was appointed superintendent of the House document room the position he left in the north wing was filled by the appointment of Mr. E. T. Cressy of South Dakota. Mr. Cressy was a Union soldier during the war and for the past fifteen years has been in the news- paper business, Atone time he was clerk toa House committee, but of late years he has been the South Dakota editor of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, THE ALASKA SEAL ISLANDS. In the Senate yesterday, after Tue Srar’s report closed, Mr. Plumb’s resolution respect- ing the lease of the islands of St. Paul and St. George to the Alaskx commercial company and requesting the Secretary of the ‘Treasury not to make a further lease of islands until further action by Congress or until the latest period made necessary by existing law, and mean- while to make a full report as to the manner Tine to the passenger station of the Baltimore and Ohio. It is a well-known fact that the tracks of the Washington branch of the Balti- more andObio from G street northeast to 9th and Boundary are above grade at 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th streets and below grade at 3d and 2d, and cross at grade at G street and H street; and this state of affairs exists in the short space of one mile in one of the foremost cities of the United States. The location of this partof the Baltimore and Ohio is « nuisance, is dangerous to lifeand limb, depreciates property values, and, further, 1s not needed by the Baltimore and Obio to enter this city. A double-track road leading into the city will, now handled by this company over both the ‘Washington branch line and the Metropolitan railroad. This is a business fact that cannot be denied by the railroad company. Now, sir. if they need but one line of double track on which to enter the city, and on which they can perform all of their work for the pres- ent and for years to come. why not induce or compel the Baltimore and Ohio to enter over a double-track line located ou @uch a line which, when located, will allow of either overhead or under-grade crossings? I submit that a change of location of the roadbed of both roads on the lines below indicated will accomplish the desired object. CHANGES SUGGESTED, Deflect the line of the Washington branch to the southwest at any point between Ivy City and Hyattsville, continuing it until the Metro- politan branch is reached, from this point or junction; continue until U or V street is fom this point run the road on a straight line to Delaware avenue at Boundary street, and through Delaware avenue to a pas- senger and freight station north of Massachu- setts avenue. The roadbed can be placed seven feet below the present grade of Boundary street. The grade of Boundary street at this point can be changed to advantage so that the Failroad can be run under a bridge. The grade of Delaware avenue is such that if the road is run on @ nearly level line there Will be no dificulty in ing bridges over M, in which the Alaska commercial company has discharged its obligations under the present lease, was referred to the committeeon finance. THE IDAHO CONSTITUTION. The Senate committee on territories spent two hours yesterday hearing arguments for and aj st the anti-Mormon clauses of the constitution under which it is proposed to ad- mit Idaho. Mr. J. M. Wilson of this city argued | agains: the acceptance of the constitution with the clause disfranchising Mormons, and said that without the Mormons there are not enough | people in the territory to entitle it to admis- | He thought it'soon enough to disfi convicted of cri: Delegate Dubois replied at length in favor of the constitution, and presented judicial decis- ions to show that the Mormon church itself is a criminal conspiracy. The only way to reach | the church, he said. 1s to deprive it of political power, which the Idaho constitution does, THE TRANSFER OF SEVERAL DEPARTMENT BUREAUS was the ground work of the bill introduced in the House yesterday by Mr. Breckinridge of Kentucky. The bill provides for the transfer of the pension office to the War department, to be under the direction and charge of the Sec- retary of War. Several additions to the Agri- cultural department are also provided for. To that department are to be transferred the geo- logical survey, the bureau of education, the bureau of statistics, the bureau of engraving and printing and the geodetic survey. Mr. Breckinridge also offered a resolution calling on the Secretaries of Interior and of War tor information as to what saving of expenditure could be made by transferring the pension bureau from the Intgrior to the War depart- ment. WHY HE KICKS. Members of Congress and the Civil Ser- vice Law. “Members of Congress seem to forget there is a civil service law in existence,” remarked a L, Kand I streets. At H street the road wiil be located five or more feet below grade. There may be some serious objection made by some of your readers to this lowering of the department official today. “Thay send for lists {of clerks credited to their states just as fre- quently as they did before the civil service law tracks at this point. It will be said that the | ¥4S Passed.

On the east side of Delaware avende, on H street, the Baltimore and Ohio company own the — of ground between Delaware avenue and 2d east, and by purchase of the half of the square on the south side of H street between Deln- ware avenue and 2d street this objection can be overcome.

From a short distance beyond Boundary Street to the entrance of the road into its freight and passenger station it would be neces- sary to build a stoue wall on both sides of the | double-track line toa point three feet above the grade of the avenue. Ou thix wall a sub- Stantial iron fence should be built, this work to be done at the expense of the railroad com- EBay. the approaches to aud the bridges to be it to be paid for jointly by the city and the railroad company.

In the county = relocation of the tracks can be so graded as place them sufficiently below the grades now ectablished for streets and to allow the building of approaches and bridges at a small cost.

It takes the time of one clerk two days to | answer it. As far as I can see the information | when obtained is of no use, and that's why I kick,” and the oficial resumed the reading of the morning paper. e The Mint Commission, The President has appointed the following | commission to test aud examine the weight and fineness of the coins reserved at the several | oe during the calendar year 1889: Hon.

Powel Garland, the presid- ing elder of the Richmond, Va,, district, in consequence of rumors of fupethciogy on the part of Rev. J. A. Sturgis, pastor of the Trinity Methodist church there, has suspended that preacher. Before taking this step the presid- ing elder gave Mr. Sturgis’ case a preliminary examination, pending a further investigation by the conference. The offense is said to be the writing of a note by Mr. Sturgis to a lady in whose spiritual welfare he was especially in- terested, and which Mr. Sturgis claims was misunderstood by all gion As soon as the rumors were started Mr. Sturgis demanded an investigation, and met the committee openly, and without the least concealment. Dr. Gar- Jand has received new and important evidence, which, it is believed, will fully exonerate Mr. Sturgis. Bishop Wilson bas been telegraphed for. —— Hawes Must Hang.
