Prison Physician Shepherd said that Mra. Hamilton was in a bad physical condition on reaching the prison and that he had ordered her to the prison hospital at the request of Matron Patterson.

COPE’S REPORT. He Asks Secretary Noble to Recommend an Appropriation to Publish It. Prof. Cope, who recently made an attack through the newspapers upon Maj. Powell of the Geological Survey, and Prof. Marsh, presi- dent of the National Academy of Science, called upon Secretary Noble this morning and asked him to recommend to Congress that an appropriation be made for the publication of the rest of the work which he prepared of his scientific investiga- tions in the west. One of the grounds of complaint against Maj. Powell was that he had refused to publish Prof. Cope’s book, An application was made some time ago to Secretary Noble of the same character. It was referred to Maj, Powell, who did not approve it. In his inter- view with the Secretary today Prof. Cope re- newed his application. He spoke to the Sec- retary of the importance to science of his in- vestizations and also of the importance of completing the series of volumes on the west- ern surveys, Secretary Nobie told him that he did not see how he could comply with hi request, bat he would take the ma‘ ter under consideration. No was made during the — conversation to the personalities which ensivened the recent newspaper warfare, ‘Lhe Secretary asked Pro, Cope in regard to the collection of fossils which he has in his pos- session. The professor said that he considered this collection his personal property. The Sec- retury told him that they had been collected while he was in the government service, and im his opinion they were the property of the government. Professor _ Cope did not share this view of the case and there seemed to be as great a divergence of opinion in this purticular as appeared to exist on the proposition to print the book Sees epee FINANCIAL MMERCIAL, New York Stock Market.

Removed. The Freisinnige Zeitung publishes an account of alleged remarks made by Prince Bismarck to a deputation from the manufacturers’ associ- ation on the 16th instant. Prince Bismarck, it is said, declared with emotion that he would gladly have remained in office if the emperor had so desired, He attributed his removal to the intrigues of his opponents, especially of the minister who owed his position to him. He dmitted that he differed with the emperor on the labor question. The government's present policy, he said, must eutail harsh dealing with the socialists, Count Herbert Bismarck said he was glad to leave the treadmiil of office, but he was sorry for his father, who wanted to remain.

C., WEDNESDAY. I past 28, NOMINATIONS TODAY. The East and West Washington Project | Receivers of Public Moneys, Registers Before the Commissioners. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the Commis- sioners gave a hearing to a number of citizens interested in the bill now before Congress “to incorporate the East and West Washington Traction Railway Company of the District of Columbia,” Mr. Louis H. Perley said be was a property owner on North Carolina avenue and objected in behalf of the citizens of that locality to the road. He believed it would injure property. Mr, Weller, representing the Southeast Washington Citizens’ Association, said the bill was heartily indorsed by the association, with the proviso that the road begin at the inter- section of Pennsylvania avenue and Anacostia This was accepted by the promoters of the road. Mr. A. B. Duvall appeared as an opposer. He said that M street was devoted to resi- dences and has a roadway of only 40 feet. A railway would practically destroy the street and the residents did not desire the road, There is no public demand for it, If the road was located north of M street it might be of some advan- tage. The road, he said, would be a detriment to the street. An adverse report should be made by the Commissioners unless they desire to see the street ruined. Mr. C. Carlisle agreed with the remarks of Mr. Duvall. He could see no possible benefit to be derived from the proposed line. “I would like to say a few words in behalf of C street,” said Mr. Jas. L. Harris, He said he had been requested to prepare a protest against that portion of the biil whic! a vides for track on C street from 2d to 444. street is only 27feet wide, and if utilized for railroad purposes it would be rendered almost annisance, There is nonecessity, he sa‘d, for the road.

Mr. Norris said the protest would be signed and handed in by tomorrow, Mr. Boutwell said the bill might exclude steam and horse power, Electricity or cable might be used. The roadway isavailable with- out horse power. The bearing was in progress when Tue Stan's report closed. LIVE CAPITOL TOPICS, No Agreement Yet on the Silver Ques- tion—The Tariff Bill—Committee Work. The republican caucus committee is to meet late this afternoon to further consider the per- plexing silver question, but there appears to be no more prospect of an agreement today than there has been for several days past. ‘The friends of free coinage appear to be de- termined in their course, and the opposition is equally set. It looks much as if no agreement would be reached, that may not be upset in the House, The free coinage folks will probably have a majority in the whole House, but the question of policy may lead many to look for a compromise, TRE TARIFY BILL is to be taken up in the House the Jatter part of next week or the first of the week following. The democrats will not agree to have the de- bate limited to six days, and no agreement as to time has been reached. SUNDAY REST.

During the war Israel Kimball, a well-known citizen of Washington, then an employe of the internal revenue department, invented a stamp for cancelling tobacco stamps, the use of which he gave to the department without considera- tion, and which use, itis said, has resulted in the saving to the government of thousands of dollars, The stamp is now in use all over the country, ‘The bill reported in the Senate today with ~—the_—_—favorable recommendation of the committes on claims proposes to give Mr. Kimbali $10,v00, A iayor- able report was also authorized by the came committee upon the bill to euable the Washing- ton Iron Works Company to prosecute its claim against the government for 729,161 before the Court of Claims, The company contracted to construct the engin sand boilers of the Lenapee in 1862, and by reason of changes ordered by the Navy Department while they were in courre of construction the total weight was in- creased from 325,000 to 600.0.0 pounds, FOR PURE FOOD AND DINK.

The people demand that the discussion and deter- ‘ination of questions of state in which all mas common interest shall not take place bebind closed doors, but iu open session and before the world. The secrecy of executive sessions is arelic of the injustice of the star ness with citizens of are chamber in a monarchical government and should find no countenance or recognition in republic. The people demand &woice in the election of Senators, and they demand further that their proceedings shall be public and open to all the world.” THE PROSPECT HILL CEMETERY, Senator Faulkner today introduced a bill to authorize the Prospect Hill Cemetery to sell all that portion of the land owned by the tion lying on the west side of the east line of North Capitol street extended through the grounds of the cemetery.
