The summer gun and rain can alternately scorch and cool the marble form of George Washington as displayed before the east front of the Capitol. Since last fall Greenough’s creation has been gesticulating on the inside of a large and somewhat ornamental box; to- day his right hand, and especially the index finger of that hand, points without obstruction to the upper atmosphere. Such pneumonic affections as affect exposed marble are not sea- sonable, so the statue will remain exposed until frost comes, WAR CLAIMS OF CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS. Senator Faulkner today introduced a bill to authorize the Secretary of War to cause to be investigated and to provide for the payment of all claims for the use and occupation of church, college and school buildings by the United States mili authorities during the late war, Pay- ment shall be made also for all such buildings destroyed by the United States troops, THE OUTLET THEORY CONDEMNED.

THE SURVEYOR'S RECORDS SHOULD REMAIN IN HIS OFFICE. Tue Star recently referred to the letter of Secretary Proctor to the Commissioners inclos- ing one from Col. Ernst, requesting that the surveyor be instructed to turn over to the War Department certain origi- nal District records in his _ oftice, Commissioner Hine in his indorsement upon the papers which were referred to him by the board says: ‘Until copies of the papers re- ferred to sball be made Segal evidence they should remain, as now, within easy reach for convenient examination.” So it looks as if the books would remain where they are, at least for some time, HAY SCALES IN THE STREET. For some time pastthe Commissioners have beeu receiving complaints from residents in the neighborhood of the hay scales George- towu, who represent that the scales are a nuis- ance and believe the Commissioners have no thority to permit them to remain on an open treet.

Frank is erecting a build- ing near the corner of Whitney avenue and 23th street extended, because as be asserte Frank is violating a stipulation in the original conveyance of the property that no building should be erected within 80 feet of the street line. The Commissioners have consulted their at- torney who reports that in the absence of any authority conferred upon the District by tne owners of the land by plat or otherwise, he does not see how the District can interfere to enforce the conditions of the private contract, posed He Wanted to be Locked Up. “T guess you had better lock me up: I worked today,” was what Matthew Quigley told a police- man Saturday. He had received his money and he knew that it was only a question of time be- fore he would get drunk, spend it all and get locked up anyhow. ‘The policeman believed that an ounce of prevention was better than a d of cure, but he could not arrest him un- he violated some law. Quigley managed pass Sunday without getting arrested, but yesterday when he got the money for the rent of the house which he owns it was more pros- perity than he could stand, He got drunk and the natural consequences followed. Althougi behind the bars in the Police Court this morn- ing, Quigley was ahappy man. He thought he was charged with vagrancy, but when Deputy Clerk Harper read the information it only charged him with being disorderly. ‘Is it only drunk and cussing?” asked Quigiey. “That's all” waa the answer. ‘Oh, then I’m guilty, His fine was $5 or fifteen days. —_—— Real Estate Matters, Harry B.

Smith of Arizona called on the President this morning and handed to him a long telegram, which he had just received from certain citizens of Tombstone, Ariz., rel- ative to the recent murderscommitted there by hostile Indians that have escaped from the San Carlos reservation. The telegram contained the verdict of the coroner's jury which re- cently sat upon the body of the latest victim of these atrocities, which concluded with a prayer for aid to protect them from the murderers. The entire jury signed the telegram.

Several Measures Disposed of by the House Yesterday. A DECREASE OF DEBT. The First Results of the Eleventh Cen- sus Made Public Today. ‘The census office today made public the first results of the eleventh census in relation to state and local finance. It consists of a pre- liminary report by Mr. J, Kendrick Upton on state indebtedness, also a preliminary report by Mr. T. Campbell Copeland, in charge of local finance, on the indebtedness of the 2,809 countics in the United States, The tables prepared show a decrease in the | bonded det+ of states since 1880 of $64 053,249.63 | and an increase of the floating debt of @9,623,764.72, the net decrease of indebtedness | being $54,459,484.91. The states have reduced their debts to this extent mainly by applying to the redemption of their obligations the revenucs not needed | for current expenses, In a few cares, however, | areduction of the debt has been effected by | the enforced redemption of obligations at a} discount, but the amount of reduction throngn | this process cannot be ascertained until | the statements of outstanding debts in those | states have been compared with the cash | receipts aud expenditures on account of the debt for the same period and the differences | noted, It is expected that the comparison will | be completed im time for publication with the: fall statement of national and state finances. A RAILROAD SIDING BILL PROVORES A DEBATE—™R. SPRINGER WANTS SOME STRINGENT STREET CAR REGULATIONS— ATHING BEACH TO BE Palp FOR BY THE DISTRICT.

The Commissioners are authorized to determine all such claims, and to issue to the Rekse or persons found entitled to the relief hereon drawback certificates for the amounts er ee found to be due them The drawback certificates provided for shall be receivable for all arrears of general taxes due and unpaid on and prior to the 30th day of June next preceding the issue thereof. ‘TWO BILLS PASSED, The committee of the whole then arose and the House passed the two bills which had been reported. The first was the bathing beach bill, with its amendments providing that the $3,000 be taken from the revenues of the District and 8 farther amendment which changed the act so asto simply authorize the Commissioners to construct the beach and not direct them to do so.

Mr. Atkinson then called up the bill grant- ing the property owners of square east of square 643 the privilege of constructing, using, and maintaining a railroad siding to and into said square, connecting with the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad at a point on Virginia ave- nue between the intersection of the siding into square east of square 642 and the intersection ee north siding into square west of square 5. Before Mr. Ellis; who fathers this bill, had time to explain what it meant several members who had been srxecsins the bill confirming the Baltimore and Potomac railroad in their illegal occupation of streets and reservations to be called up were ou their fect protesting. thinking this bill had some connection with the measure they were waiting for. Mr. Ander- son remarked: would like to know some- thing about that bill.” Mr. Bland then obtained the floor and said: “7 hope this committee will not allow that bill tobe laid aside until it shall have been con- sidered.

Some Final Instructions Given Enumer- ators by Supervisor Dingman. Mr. Harrison Dingman, the supervisor of the census for the District, has issued a circular to the enumerators, in which he says: “Your at- tention is called to the fact that one of the pro- visions of section 5 of the census act defining the duties of supervisors authorizes the dis- Mr. Springer said he warfed a couple of sec-| ‘Tibution by the enumerators prior to tions added to the bull, as follows: the enumeration of schedules to be Sec. 3, That street railway companies it filled by householders and = others, District of Columbia shall cause their cai the intent being to facilitate the stop at all street crossings where connections are made with li of cars on other streets and transfers are given a sufficient length of time to enable passengers to make connections with other cars, No car shall depart from such transfer crossing When a car approaching on the con- necting line is within 100 fect of such crossing orconnection. Any street railway compan: violating the provisions of this section shall forfeit and pay a sum of not leas than $50 nor more than $100 for each offense—to be recov- ered in an action of debt, one-half of the fine to be paid to the informer. Sec. 4. No street railway company in the Dis- trict of Columbia shall demand or collect fare from any passenger on any strect car unless such passenger is furnished a seat in such car, And for every violation of this provision the company shall forfeit and pay not less than #50 nor more than $100 for each offense, to be recovered in an action of debt, and one-half of the fine shall be paid to the informer. A point of order was made that the amend- ments were not germane to the bill. The chair sustained the point of order, not. how- ever, before Mr. Springer had expressed his opinion very thoroughly of the street car ac- commodations in this city. The bill was after- ward passed. The bill transferring the duty of collecting water main taxes from the engi- neer department to the collector's office was then called up and passed. THE CENSUS QUESTIONS. What Is to Be Done in Case of Persons Refusing to Answer. taking of the census by allowing the head of the family and members of his household time in which to consider the answers to be made to the several inquiries. In suggesting toenumer- ators the advisability of this course it is confi- dently believed that it will not only be of great benefit to the service, but will very largely aid each enumerator in securing decidedly larger daily returns than otherwise and his work will thereby be much lessened and simplitied. “It is not thought advisable to make use of the prior schedules m some portions of our outlying districts, or in sections where the population is made up of those who do not pos- sess the experience necessary to comprehend the nature of the inquiries without the aid of the enumerator, but to use them only among the more intelligent classes of your district, For the purpose of allowing you to follow this course blanks have been issued to you earlier than otherwise would have been the case. “Leaving the above to the exercise of your discretion I would call your attention to the necessity of using great care in dealing with the subject of enumerating members of Con- gress and their families, Itis presumed that many of them will be returned from their homes in the several states, especially those who nave families at home; but those living here during the greater portion of the year, and who are surrounded with their families, it is be- lieved, would fail of being recorded at their place of residence, and you are therefore cau- tioned to make the inquiry in all cases of Se tors and members of Congress within your trict as to belief in the probabilit: enumerated in their states. Should they advise you that, in their opinion, this course will be taken, then you will not enumerate them; but ~ if, on the other hand, they think they might not be reported, they should then be taken on your returns. This subject is one that will require the exercise of your careful and correct judg- ment, in order that the legislators of our country may have no fault to find with the cor- rectness of the returns from this District. “In the matter of employes in the various governmental departments you willundoubtedly be told by some that their legal residence ix ony from here and they will be enumerated at these points, but this would not be correct, If employed in any of the departments and sleeping within the District they sbould be returned as part of the census for this District This would also .apply to cases where families live in adjoining states and the head or some other member of the family lives and sleeps in the city the greater pertion of the time.” i stots of being Superintendent Porter today issued the fol- lowing circular, addressed to supervisors of the census: “You will please instruct enumerators im cases where persons refuse to answer the questions on the population schedule re- lating to physical and mental disabilities or the questions relating to farms, homes and mortgages to enter in the proper column the words, ‘Refused to answer.’ No further steps will be necessary on the part of the supervisor or enumerator, audall legal proceedings will be instituted by the Washington office through the Department of Justice.” THE ALASKA EXPEDITION, A Possibility that It May Be Postponed Until Next Spring. It looks as though the expedition proposed to Be sent out by the National Geographic Society of this city to explore the glacial re~ gion of Alaska would have to be abandoned for the present through the incompleteness of the fiscal arrangements. As stated in Tue Srar the explorers, Messrs. Russell and Kerr, who were to have started Sunday night, were unable to get away and had setupon tonight for their departure for the Pacific coast. But the funds have not all been Collected that would be ‘necessary to carry the Project through successfully, although suf- ficient money has been promised, Doubts have now been cast oe the advisability of sending out the expedition so late in the season, as it is understood that May is the best month in the year for Alaskan glacial work. In view of this condition of affairs a meeting of the Geo- graphic Society will be held tonight at the Cosmos Club rooms to discuss the question it will be wiser to this .year and send out the party early next spring, am equipped with fonds, Expert testiniony | w be given upon the advisabilities of the case by a couple of gentlemen who are familiar with World’s Fair Commissioners-at-Large.
