A SESSION CUT SHORT BY THE SILVER FiOmT—A HRARING ON THE MECHANICS’ LIRX Law—COM- MITTERMEN FAVOR THE DOUGLASS LICENSE BILL—A HIGHER FEE FOR LICENSES PROPOSED. The House District committee met as usual this morning and what is somewhat unusual for committees at this season of the session, every member who is in the city was present and ready for business, Mr. Grout aud Mr. Atkin- son are both out of town and were the only absentees, THR MECHANICS’ LIBN*LAW. Before the regular meeting Of the commit- tee the judiciary subcommittee gave a hearing to the parties interested in the proposed me- chanics’ lien law. The hearing was an igter- esting one, both sides developing their views to considerable length. friends of the proposed law were represented by Reginald Fendall and RB. Ross Perry from the bar association, J. A. Rice and W. C. Dodge. In opposition to the pro- posal were Thos. W. Smith, 8. C. Neal and Mr. Boss of Barber & Ross, THE BILLS IN QUESTION. There are two bills before the committee on the subject of these liens. The first, intro~ duced by Mr. Davidson by request, is short, and simply provides that the Revised Statute relating to the District of Columbia concern ing mechanics’ liens be amended so as to pro- vide that the lien given shall be preferre to all judgments, ope e and deeds of trast, liens and incumbrances which attach apon the building or ground, subsequent to the ore | of the notice preseribed by the secon section of act of July 2 1884, and all incumbrances and liegs (other than those which attached prior to the filing of said notice) which vy the laws of the Dis- trict are required to be recorded shall be post- poned to said liens unless recorded prior to the date of filing said notice. THE WILSON BILL. The second bill was introduced by Mr. Wil- son of West Virginia and is a longer document. ‘This bill proposes to amend the Revised Stat- utes so as to make them provide that any con- tractor, subcontractor, material man of laborer furnishing material or supplies or labor for the construction or repair of any building shall, if he desires, at the time of entering inte a contract to perform labor or furnish material or supplies, or durit the performance of such contract, and not later than the comple- tion of the contract, filea notice of lien in the office of the clerk of the Supreme Court of his intention to hold the property, which shall be fully described in the notice, and which is made liable for any amoutit that then is or that may. thereafter be- come due for labor performed or material and supplies furnished aud used for building or pairs on said property. ‘The clerk shall file and record such notice of lien, and on payment or satisfaction of the claim it shall be the duty of the party filing the lien to sign a release. ‘The lien given when notice has been duly filed shall have preference to all judgments, mortgages, deeds of trust or other incum- brances which are recorded and attached u the described premises subsequent to the date of filing the said notice of lien, No conclusion was reached by the subcom- mittee, ; THE FULL. COMMITTEE. At the meeting of the full committee several measures were discussed, although a conclusion was not arrived at in any case. The bill charter- ing the suburban railroa Vet lege lage! phar served the advertisement of lotteri¢s in the District were both taken up and discissed for a few minutes. It was seen, however, tl no con- clusion could be reached on these questions and they gave way for a discussion of the liquor license question. IN FAVOR OF HIGH LICEXSE, ‘The committee evidently favor in this con- nection the bill drawn up by Commissioner Douglass, although the feeling, seems to be that this bill should be amended so as to ovide for «# license fee ot $500 for wholesale and $1,000 for retail dealers instead of #300 and #600 respectively. ‘The question was discussed for some time, Dut the sudden opening of the fight on the silver question in the House forced an adjournment and the matter goes over. PROVISIONS OF THE DOUGLASS BILL. The Douglass bill, it will be remembered, provides for #300 and #600 licenses and re- quires the written permission of two-thirds of the persons owning real estate and two-thirds of the residents keeping houses on the side of the square where it is desired to locate such business and on the side of the square fronting the same. If # corner is to taken signers will required on both streets, The li- licenses are then to be approved by the Commuasioners and no liquor is to be sold to minors, intoxicated persons, habitual drunk- ards or inmates of the Soldiers’ Home or on Sunday or between 12 o'clock midnight and 4 o'clock a.m, Violation of any of the provisions subjects the party to a fine of from R500 to #600, and on the secon d offense from $600 to $1,000 and to imprisonment at hard labor until the fine is paid—not exceeding one year yor less than aix months. i The following persons are barred from re- ceiving licenses: Any person within 400 feet of a public school house owned or occupied by the District of Columbia. Any person convicted or pending appeal in court during the preceding license year of vio- lating any of the provisions of the act, or who bas been convicted within the two preceding license years of having sold liquor without a license. : Auy person employed in amy capacity nnder the District government, or to any other per- son who by reason of any othet employment or business will be absent from the licensed place during business hours, In tl piper of the District of Columbia outside of the cities of Washington and George- town to any person whose place of business 1s within 1,000 feet of another place licensed for the same business. The bill alxo provides that no person shall under any license granted under this act eni- ploy or «llow any female, other than his wife or eaghiiac: to sell or distribute any intoxicat- ing drinks to any person or persons, tior slall permit the playing of pool, billiards, or other ames in the room where such liquors are sold. sy the bill the number of licenses to be issucd in the District is not to exceed 400, THE SENATE COMMITTRE. The Senate committee on the District had no matter of large public interest to wrestie with this morning. Those present were Senators Ingalls (chairman), Higgins, Harris, Vance and Faulkner. Acts of the House (Nos, 7079, 7145 and 7795) forthe relief of Thomas J. Parker, Esther A. Keyser and certain prop- erty owners in this city were ordered favorably reported to the Senate, Senator Vance was instructed to ask that House bill 10193, which provides that from and after June 30, 1890, “all rents for water and all tuxes for water mains in the District of Co- lumbia shall be collected by the collector of taxes of the District on bills prepared in accord- ance with the existing law by the assessor of the District,” and which was favorably reported last week, be recommitted to the committee, Senator be aed bill to amend the laws of the District of Colambia was referred to Benators Higgins and Faulkner as a subcommittee and that closed the work of the committee for day.

The Victory of the Silver Men in the House. THR VOTING DORS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATE THE PASSAGE OF A FREE COINAGE MEASURE— THE CONSERVATIVES LIKELY TO WIN—TAEIR PROBABLE PROGRAM. The votes to correct the journal of the House and to approve it as corrected, in all of which the Speaker was defeated, does not in- dicate necessarily the ultimate passage of & free coinage bill. A number of the democrats who voted with the silver men did so merely to rebuke the Speaker, and while their number is offset in a measure by silver republi- cane who voted with the Speaker there are probably, all told, on both sides enough mem- bers favoring a conservative course to sustain the Speaker in such a course when the politi- cal maneuvering is over. THE SILVER MEX WILL TRY TO FORCE A VOTE on the question of free coinage at once, and in this they are apt to be defeated. A resolution will be offered referring the bill to the com- mittee by authority of the House, where it has already «gone by the action of the Speaker, with instractions that it be re; d as promptly. This resolution ia offered with the understanding that the committee is to recommend non-concurrence in the Senate amendments, but to that the bullion re- demption clause shall be stricken from the House bill, and the silver republicans and probably number of democrats are expected vote for the resolution. IT 18 NOT AT ALL LIKBLY that a free coinage bill will, in the end, be per- mitted to pass the House. The House bill, with the bullion redomption clauso stricken out, will probably be the bill adopted, and the con- servative silver men will, ing got this much, agree to be satisfied and not to vote for free coinage, THE FIRST MOVE will doubtless be a non-concurrence by the House in the Senate amendments, and in con- ference the House conferees will offer the sac- rifice of the bullion clause in consideration of ‘® concession on the part of the Senate. If the Senate does not agree to a compromise it is not likely that there will be any legisla- tion in spite of the display of strength that the silver men have made in both houses. THE VOTE IN THE HOUSE THIS AFTERNOONS. The disposition not toacton the Senate amendments at once, as the ultra-silver men desire, was evinced in the determina- tion by a yote of 140 to 102 to take up a conference report on the anti- trunt bill, when the converse proposition was understood to be the consideration of the silver bill. AROUND THE CAPITOL. No Postal Telegraph Bill this Session—- Other Committee Matters. ‘The House committee on post offices and post roads has postpoued the further consideration of the postal telegraph bill until next session. LINEAL PROMOTIONS IN THE ARMY. The House committeo on military affairs to- day ordered a favorable report on the Senate bill providing that hereafter promotions in the army below the rank of b eral shall be made according to seniority subject to e amination, except in the case of line officers above the grade of second lieutenant. SENATOB MANDERSON’S OLD COMMANDER. Nearly sixty years agoa young man named ‘Van Cleve was appointed a second lieutenant in the army of the United States. After five years of service, without promotion, he re- signed. When the war of the rebellion broke out Mr. Van Cleve entered the Union army and was soon in command of a brigade. One of Gen, Van Cleve's colonels is now Senator Manderson and the Senator discovered not loug ago that his old commander was in destitute cireum- stances. The President has nominated Mr. Van Cleve as a second lieutenant, and as soon as he is confirmed he will be retired withat least enongh pay to keep body and soul to- gether. The law allows such action where the nominee was previously in the regular army. ADDITIONAL INTERIOR DEPARTMENT ERTIMATES. The acting secretary of the Treasury today sent tothe Senate supplemental estimates of $96,000 for salarics and commissions of re- ceivers and registers and $25,000 for contin- gent expenses for new land offices. Also of $18,481 for additional furniture and printing presses for the pension bureau. CONTESTED ELECTION CASES.

Morgan (in favor” of Morgan),and Mr.Rowell ( ll.) presented the re- an from the same committee upon the case of iller against Elliott (in favor of Mr. Miller. ) THE ANTI-TRUST BILL PASSES THE HOUSE. After a short debate in the House this after- hoon, in the course of which Mr. Kerr of Iowa declared that the pend- ing measure was the first bill directed against trusts that had ever passed the American Congress and that in fourteen years control of the House the democratic party had not produced a syliable of legislation of the kind—-the report of the committee of con- ference on the anti-trust bill was adopted — yeas, 243; nays, 0. ‘THE CIVIL SERVICE INVESTIGATION, The Hotse committee on reform in the civil service heid & meeting today to determine upon the plan to be followed in its investigation into the workings of the civil service law. The civil service commissioners were present at the ipvitation of the committee. There being but a few members of the committee present, ever, wheu the hour for meeting arrived, and those preferring not to act in the matter with such a small attendance, an adjournment was taken subject to the chairman's call. In an inforn talk Mr. Roosevelt outlined in part rticular branches of the law the com- n desired to have investigated and at the roquest of the committee promised to reduce them: to writing. TRYING TO GET AT THE DILL. In the House this afternoon Mr. Bland (Mo,) offered his resolution to take up the siiver bill, Mr. McKinley (Ohio) made th point of order that the motion was not privilege Li tthe ouly way to reach the Speaker's tapie was to follow the order of morning business. Mr. Conger of Jowa added as a turther point, amid sarcastic democratic laughter, that the bill was not on the Speaker's table, but in the hands of the coinage committee.

Mr. 3. W. Cromwell was chairman. Mr, Ruftia offered a resolution for the appointment of a committee of fifteen to wait on the district at- torney and urge upon that official the necessity ofa trial in the case of Policeman Dean, who, it is charged, beat a negro prisoner named 8am Hutchinson, as heretofore published in Tue Star. Messrs, Ruffin, Hewlett, Ricks and Rev. W. B. Jobnson spoke in support of the resolution and ach of them took occasion to denounce the ction of Assistant District Attorney Armes for entering u nolle pros iu the case of the police- man. The resolution was unanimously adopted and the chairman appointed the committee. how- I li fi ae, THE POLICE LIEUTENANTS. What They Say About the Charges Be- fore Commissioner Robert. COL ROBERT RESUMES HIS INVESTIGATION TODAY — RE SAYS THE ACCUSED OFTICERS WILL WAVE AMPLE OPPORTUNITY OF DEFENSE—A PROBABIL- ITY THAT GUY WILL BE EXONERATED. ‘The publication in Tae Stan last night of the fact that Commissioner Robert was engaged in & police investigation that would probably lead to bringing three lieutenants to trial before the Commissioners was the cause of much talk among the police. It was generally known among the police that something was going ou about the Commissioners’ office concerning the police force. but it was not until informed by yesterday's Stan that they knew what all the trouble was about. Inspector Pearson, Sergeant Myers of the third precinct, ex-Lieut. Arnold and others have been seen in Col. Robert's office, and it is surmised that they were giving information concerning the charges made against Licuts. Guy, Gessford and Boteler,as published in resterday's Stan. Atleast two of the three peutenants charged were aware that statements had been made against them. but they had not been officially intormed of the fact, A CONSULTATION AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS. This morning the lieutenants were at the police headquarters earlier than usual, but the session wasa short one. After the regular meet- of the lieutenants was over the three officers charged remained and held a consnita- tion with Maj. Moore, They had not been in- formed of the nature of the charges again®? them. They seemed anxious to see ac of them and a list of the witnesses to sustain LIEUT. GUY THINKS IT Is AN OLD STORY. “None of us know what is the mature of the charges preferred against us,” said Lieut. Guy to = Stan reporter this morning, “but I sup- pose, so far as lam concerned, it is the same old story about the Fish woman. That matter was brought against me long ago and was set- tled by a former board of Commissioners. If the present charge is only a repetition of the old ones I will be able to fully expiain the mat- ter to the Commissioners. I understand that several persons have been summoned to the Commissioners’ office to. make statements, and if permitted to do so I can prove that all of them have motives for saying what they do against me.” The reporter suggested that Col. Robert had interviewed Sergeant Myers, who is on duty in his (Lieut, Gny's) precinct, but the lieutenant said thatif the sergeant confined himself to the truth, which he no doubt did, he said noth- ing that could in any manner injure him, Then the reporter suggested that ex-Lieut. Arnold had also been closeted with Commissioner Robert, but the lieutonant said that Arnold's actions did not cause him any uneasiness, and added that he did not care for Arnold. LIEUT. BOTELER THINKS IT 18 ARNOLD, Lieut. Boteler, speaking to @ Stan reporter concerning the investigation, said he had not yet heard of the charges against him. although he was satisfied that it was a rehash of old charges that were made against him once before and he | po doubt but that ex-Lieut. Arno! the bottom of it. ‘During the Waik investigation two years ago,” said the lieuten- ant, “Arnold came to me early one morning and wanted me to make certain statements about the ease, but informed him that J was simply going to tell the truth. Weil,” he con- cluded, “I don't care to say too much at this but will wait for a copy of the charges.” UT, GESSFORD KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT. put, Gessford, in his good-natured manner, said he knew nothing about what was going on. “Somebody said something to me,” he re- marked. “about being arrested ins fight in a bar room, but 1f such was the case I know nothing of it. If the records of the Police Court will bear ont that assertion, and that is the charge against me, of course I will plead id was at -Arnold guilty, but I guess they will have a nice time |. findiug my name on the records.” THE WOMAN IN LIEUT, GUY'S CASE. The “Fish wom to whom Lieut. Guy re- ferred, is a woman apparently 32 years old and has frequently visited police headquarters and made charges of undue intimacy against Lieut. Guy. A former board of Commissioners in- quired into charges made on the woman's ac- count and exonerated the lieutenant. A min- ister, it appears, has interested himself in the woman's behalf and the jieutenant says is pusb- ing the matter as much as possible. IX COL, ROBERT'S OFFICE. Col, Robert was at the District building bright and early this morning and spenta greater portion of the day in his private office TH POST OFFICE BILL, The Senate Adds Nearly Half « Million to the Appropriations, Senator Plumb today reported the post office appropriation bill from the appropriations com- mittee, It appropriates #72.461.699, an in- crease of $473,000 over the amount appropriated by the Dill as it passed the House. The changes are an increase of $50,000 for detection sad Prosecution of mail depredations, 8 increase of 390,000 for com) ot post office clerk, a decrease of @15,000 for purchase of mail locks and keys, end an im- crease of $48,000 for transportation of foreign mails. This last increased appropriation is of importance, as it will, if it should be incorpor- ated into law, mark» departure in the postal policy of the country. A provision in the bill authorizes the Postmaster General to expend this @48,000 in covering one-half the cost of transportation, compensation sed expenses of clerks to be employed mm assorting mails in transit on ste ips between the United States and other countries in the inter- national postal union. It has been recom- mended from time to time that the mails should be assorted on ocean steamships the same ae they are now assorted on railway postal ears im. order to save time in the delivery of the but heretofore the proposition has not much consideration on the part of Congress.

HOW If CAME ABOUT, “But how did this investigation come about?” is the all-absorbing question of the day. The following is a history of it: About a fortnight ago Col, Kobert was “ont gunning.” as the po- lice say when they hear that the colonel is out looking about. Engaging in conversation with a patrolman he learned that the eutenant of that precinct was planning « raid on a disrep- utable house. Now, if there is anything that should be kept quict it is the fact that a raid ix contemplated. and Col, Robert know it, for only a few days previous to his interview with the officer a raid had resulted in a grand fizzle, for no one was taken. The colonel reasoned this way, If the, patrolmen knew when a raid is about to take place, what is to prevent ot! from knowing it, for Argbie saying: “i friend and thy friend's friend has « friend, therefore be prudent,” isa favorite maxim with the colonel. So he set about investigating the matter, His researches brought other informa- tion, which will resuit, as heretofore stated, in the trial of certam lieutenants. A TALK WITH COL. ROBERT, In conversation with » Sran reporter today upon the subject, Col. Robert said: “I see Tue Stan was up to snuff yesterday and found out that I was engaged in an inves! tain lientenants of police. I admit that this ix so, but what the charges against these men are lam not at liberty to say; they will come out, however, at the prope: “This investigation will probably result in seriows consequences to some of these men. ‘The matter, however, is not in shape at present to be presented to the board, When the time comes i shall prepare the charges und present them to the board for their consideration. Lt is probable that I will be selected to try the men and I assure you they will have ample op- portumity to break dowa the charges if they ean, PRIVATES TO bE BROUGHT Ur. ‘There several privates from different precincts who, it is understood, will also be brought up for inefficiency.
