Benrwiy, May 7.—In the upper house of the Prussian landtag Chancellor Von Caprivi to- day declared he was one with that body in its traditional love for the royal house of Prussia, Herr Pfuest, the reporter of the budget com- mittee, expressed the thanks of the house to the chancellor for his friendly expression and was particularly warm in voicing the grati- tude of the landtag to Prince Bismarck for the support he had given to the agricultural interests of the country. In the course of his elogent tribute to the ex-chancellor Herr Pfuest said that, next to the kaiser, Germany owed her exalted position among the nations of the earth to the patriotism and genius of Prince Bismarck. That gratitude would be symbol- ized in the statue which it was proposed by the house to erectim honor of the prince. Herr Pfaest concluded his speech by assuring the emperor of the devotion of himseif aud of his colleagues, e —— Labor Notes.

It was Wednes- day—the day Col. Robert set aside for arguments in liquor cases. When he arrive: his’ office was crowded by these men, and the arguments presented were as strong as they could possibly be made, A great many well-known citizens called upon the Commissioners today to urge the granting of licenses to persons in whom they were interested, and even women 4 peared among the lvocates. About 10:30 there was a flank movement of the tem ce People and a large committee from the omen’s Christian Temperance Union called upon the Commisioners and had a long confab with them in board session relative to granting liquor licenses and urged them to stand firm and grant no more. The liquor question is about settled as far as the Commissioners are con- cerned, There are but a few cases to be acted upon, and these are for the most part knotty ones and have been rejected upon reconsider- ation, HAVE THE COMMISSIONERS THE POWER? The Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company, through its president, Mr. Henry Hurt, recently requested the Commissioners to give them permission to erect a small watch box atthe north end of the 7th street road. The purpose tor which this is required is to eetadlish a direct telephone connection be- tween the two terminal points of the road, which will be available for immediately «topping the machinery in the power house in case of accident. dir. Hurt in his letter says that it solutely necessary to have this as a meacare of safety. Capt. Rosell has recom- mended that the request be granted, provided the Commissioners have the legal right to grant the permit. The papers have been referred to the attorney for the District for his views as to the legal questions involved. TALKING OVER THE RAILROAD SITUATION. Recently the Commissioners were called be- fore the subcommittee of the Senate having charge of the steam railroad question to talk over the several bills now pending having in view the rearrangement of the Baltimore and = Qhio and” Baltimore aud Po- tomac roads within the city limita, Col, Robert was requested to draft a suit able bill and submit it to the com- mittee as the views of the com- missioners upon this question. Col. Robert, who has been giving the subject considerable attention, today had Messre, Sewell, vice presi- dent of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad, and Engingers Curter and Brown of the same road before him, giving him information con- ceru:ng the Pennsylvania road. The conference insted upward of two houra, Capt, Rossel was alsd present. RHODE ISLAND AVENUE, A long petition from the residents and tax- payers aud of the District of Columbia and avenue trom the Boundary to Lincoln avenue was taken up for action by Capt. Rossell today. ‘The capia.n says in his report that the opening of Rhode Island Avenue is an eminently proper thing, but that there is no money to pay con- demnation expenses, TO REPLACE OLD POLES. A request from Supt. Miles of the telegraph and telephone scrvice that he be granted per- mission to replace seven old and decayed poles with a like number of new ones has received the approval of the Commissioners, provided that {ke work does not involve the stringing of any additional wires nor the erection of any additional poles. A STREET IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDED, Recently the Commissioners received a letter ondition of Gale and 16th streets northeast, and asking that they receive attention. Capt. Rossell, m passing upon the case, torwards the papers to the Commissioners with a recom- mendation that enough gravel be hauled trom Maryland avenue, where the work is now being done. to Gale street to gravel the road- way, and that old curbing be set and the gravel spread and rolled at a cost not to exceed $500, THE PROPOSED EXTENSION OF PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, Recently the Commissioners received a peti- tion signed by the citizens of the District | of Columbia praying that they con- demn the property of Messrs,” Pierce and Green, or so much thereof as may be necessary to open Pennsylvania avenue extended 160 feet wide, and extend the same to the Bowen road, ‘This petition was made in view of the fact that the law governing their action in the matter sets forth that a petition shall be tiled. Capt. Rossell has forwarded the proval and the recommendation that they issue ap order therewith, BIDS OPENED. The Commissiouers this afternoon opened bids for furpishing the District with asphalt roadway blocks. ‘lhere was but one bidder— the Maryland Paving Company—and their bid was §71 per thousand, ASKING ANOTHER CHANCE. The findings, as printed in yesterday's Star, of the trial board in the cases of Sergeants Jones, Connolly and Duvall and Private More- land of the metropolitan police torce for failure to report the character of the house of which Griffin 8, Reed was the proprictor is attract- ing a great deal of attention, and is the princi- pal topic of conversation amoug the members of the police force. Today the Commis sioners were called upon and requeste not to sign the report of the board, but to fine | the men and give them another chance. Among those who called in the interest of the police- men were Representative Quinn of New York and several influential citizens who live in the secoud precinct. There seems to be little doubt that the findings of the board will be ap- proved by the Commissioners, A CHANGE OF DRIVER. The resignation of Joseph MH. Daniels, a pa- trol driver of the metropolitan police force, has been accepted and Thomas O’ Day appointed to fill the vacancy MAINTAINING ALIEN PAUPERS, The Commissioners hacv writteu to Secretary Blaine that they are informed by the otticer in charge of the Washington Asylum that there are at that institution two foreigners named | Michael Angelus, an Italian, and Peter Peterson, a Swede, who are ‘mentally de- ficient and who are constantly at the work- house. ‘The Commissioners inquire if they cannot be sent back to their native country, so that the District may be relieved of their sup- port, f BOGUS FARMERS, ss The Commissioners recently received several protests from farmers that unlicensed huck- sell only products raised by themselves were utilizing the space set aside for bona fide farm- ers in violation of the rules of the Commis— sioners, They direct the marketmaster to rigidly enforce the law in these cases, LIQUOR LICENSES GRANTED.

Proposed Removal of the Apache Pris- oners—Notes From Committee Rooms. Chairman Perkins of the House committee on Indian affairs has written a letter to C. OC, Painter of this city, who represents the Indian Rights Association, on the subject of the removal of the Apache Indians confined as prisoners at Mount Vernon barracke, Alabama, to the Indian territory. Mr. Perkins says in part: “The committee on Indian affairs in the House will not consent to the removal of the Apache Indians to the Fort Sill reservation in the Indian territory. I think, how- ever, the proposition to remove them to North Carolina will meet with favor with the com- mittee, and I have had Mr. Skinner, the mem- ber of the committee from North Carolina, make ingniries concerning the feelings of the people there, and think there will be no opposition to their removal to that state. There is a tract of land in North Carolina which, it is thought, can be secured, and which, I think, will make a de- sirable reservation for these Apache Indians. Ishall do what Ican to favor this plan, and trust we may be successful.” TOWER BRAKES AND AUTOMATIC COUPLERS. Senator Cullom, chairman of the interstate commerce committee, has received a letter from President G. B.

The District will be deprived of its regular day in the House, which would come next Mon- day, as the tariff debate will be continued on that day. THE GREAT DEBATE, Scenes at the Opening of the Tariff Con- test in the House Today. The tariff was taken up in the House today in the ordinary routine way without any more excitement or especial manifestation of in- rest than is shown when an appro- priation Dill or other such measure is called up for consideration. The galleries were “sparsely settled” and the attendance of members was scarcely larger than usual, SHAKING HANDS BEFORE THE FIGHT, When Mr. McKinley arose to make the open- ing speech Mr. Mills asked unanimous consent that he be permitted to proceed without limit. Mr. McKinley then moved that the same courtesy be extended to Mr. Mills, The House agreed to both these propositions, and Mr. Me- Kinley began his argument. The members gath- ered around him, Mr. Mills coming over on the republican side and taking a seat facin his antagonist in argument, with Sut two desks between, Just as Mr. Mo- Kinley began his argument General B. F. But- ler entered the main door and stood for moment at the head of the center aisle looking over the House, THE PROGRAM. Mr. Mills will reply to Mr. McKinley, opening for the democrats, McKinley will close as well as open the debate, and Mr. Carlise will close for the democrats, Mr. Mills is to be followed by Mr. Burrows and Messrs. McMillin, Bayne, Flower and other members of the ways and means committee will follow in order—democrats and republi- cans alternating. Mr. McKenna will speak in support of his minority report on sugar, REPUBLICANS WHO WANT AMENDMENTS, Some of the republicans who are anxious to secure amendmants to the Mchinley bill are threatening to fight against the proposition of the committee, approved by the republican caucys, to limit the discussion under the five: minutes’ rule to eight days and the general debate to four days. The democrats are pro- testing against this short limit of time pro- posed; but if tl interest does not grow e debate the House may be tired enough of the matter before the discussion is over. Mr. Reed will not speak, and many others will, doubtless, follow his example upon the theory that the tariff has been pretty well discussed already in its various phases, FOR CAMPAIGN PURPOSES, Of course the speeches that will be delivered will not be made with any idea of affecting the fate of the measure, but merely for campaign About only thing that can be of startling imterest to men who have heard the former debatea will be features of the what relates ‘ly to D.C..

Boss Bakers Will Meet Tonight and Talk Matters Over. It looks now as though the bread market bas & decidedly upward tendency, and the price of the staif of life is likely soon to be raised a cent or more # loaf. The price of flour bas gone up a dollar a barrel, and the journeymen bakers have insisted upon their Intest de- mand and have won their point without « fight They are now working nine and e baif houre in most of the shops, though there wages with the reduo- tion in the working hours from thirteen, When the journeymen went back to work after the recent lockout, which resulted rather disse- trously for the bosses, tho understanding was general that some tme iu May or June they wonld insist on a decrease in the working time. The de- mand has been made and granted as soon a8 asked for. As one boss tersely expressed it, all they have to do is to domand, all weean do is to accede, IT WAS QUIETLY ACCOMPLISHED, The journeymen expected more objection than this and they were prepared to go to ex- | tremes rather than to back down from their demands, ont The Monday offcial and was notice was sent to the effect | that after today ten hours or less would constitute a day's work, with a half hour off for lunch, and twelve hours from Friday to Satur- day, The bossos decided that they had no iternative but to give in, and this they have cone with the best grace possible under the cirenmstances. It looky ns though they had had enongh of trying the plan of importing labor trom Baltimore, the rise in the price of flour and the rise in the price of labor coming at time the sai the bosses say ther will ha to raise the price of ‘bread or else quit the business, They ere loath to pursue either course, but the former is the more pop- ular and will probably be the one followed. To TAKE ACTION TONIGHT, No step has been taken yet in this direction, but the bosses are to hold a meeting in Stahl- man's hall, in Georgetown, this evening to dis curs the situation and take some concerted ac- tion. They will delay raising the price if possible, but as one of the jeading bosses said to A Star reporter “There is not a man in the busi- Less who can afford to sell bread at present prices and pay « dollar more for flour aud the expenses of a larger force cf mea, for that is what the decrease in the length of » worsing day will make necessary.” ‘The journeymen say they are sure their de- Mands are just and ressonable, as ten hours a day is all a ought to be made to work, and hitherto altogether wu too much work has been expected for the hat amount of wege aid. J ere satisfied now aud are not lixely to ack any more concessions for the present at any rate. _ MR, ATKINSON'S REPORT, It Urges That Relief be Granted to the Baltimore and Potomac Road.
