As a result of treating himself for this during the carly part of the week his stomach got somewhat out of order, and Dr. N. 8. Lincoln was called in consultation with Dr. Stone. the attending physician, and found Mr. McCulloch | only slightly indisposed. He was quite able to around the bouse and his condition was not such as to cause any alarm, A Stan reporter called on Dr. Lincoln this afternoon and, in answer to his question ‘about Mr. McCulloch's health, Dr. Lincoin sai I | know nothing about it further than that he i | mot very well. 4 was called out to his country bome ‘Tuesday with reference to getting Mi.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION. A Report on the Atkinson Bill in the Senate. A HISTORY OF THE B. AND F. IN Tas cITY—THE ARGUMENT MADE THAT THE BILL Is REQUIRED ‘TO SECURE NEEDED RAILROAD FACILITIES—TARE OCCUPATION OF RESERVATIONS BY TRACKS. Mr, McMillan today from the Senate commit- tee on the District of Columbia submitted his report on the Baltimore and Potomac railroad Dill, best known as the Atkinson bill. The re- port says: The object of the bill is first to legalize and confirm the construction, main- tenance and use for railway purposes of certain sidings already constructed by the Baltimore and Potomac railroad and by private Parties under authority granted to them and to that company by the Commissioners, and, secondly, to authorize the Commissioners whenever they shall consider it to be a publie benefit to grant to the railroad permission to Jay, maintain and use for its own pur; or for private manufacturing, commercial of other business purposes side tracks and sidings from maiu lines of that company into any real | estate in certain specified squares absolutely on | the sireets occupied by or in easy distance of such lines, ‘The bill does not affect in any way the ques- tion of the nt passenger station, nor does it relate to the occupation of the mall. A HISTORY OF THE noap. The report then refers to the many hearings held on the subject by the committee and the: Proceeds to an elaborate history of the Balti more and Potomac road in Washington. ‘The roadwas authorized toenter the city on March 18, 1869. By act of March 3, 1871. the company was authorized to build a passenger station at Vir- ginia avenue, between 6th and 7th streets, and on May 21. 1872, the present passenger site was authorized. For the purposes of freight facili- ties the company obtained from the District Sommissioners at different times authority to lay side tracks into their own yards and al into private grounds, A listof such siding: here follows, WHY THE BILL 18 REQUIRED. The report then takes up the decision of the Supreme Court that the sanction of Congress was necessary for such sidings and refers to the indictments which have been made, This bill legalizes such sidings and makes provisions for future needs, “After careful consideration of the whole subject,” the report says, “your committee is strongly of the opinion thatthe service which the company owes to the public requires that the sidings be legalized.” In reaching such conciusion the com- mittee took into consideration _first, the character of the portion of the city in which the sidings exist, In this regard the report quotes from a letter from the commissioners dated November 15, 1887, in which they refer to South Washington as unhealthy and by its nature fitted for indus- trial purposes, ©" FREIGHT FACILITIES WANTED. The report continues that the committee next examined into the existing facilities for handling freight and found them grossly in- ington but two privatu coal yards and two private lumber yards haviug proper facilities in them. “As a consequence the bulk of the business is done on surface tracks set apart tor buck freight, On an aver- age cars wait four days before being unloade and this time is frequently extended. At one time there were forty cars of lumber for Washington — waiting de- livery. It is im view of these facts that Congress is asked to enact a iaw der which private parties may obtain facilities for | bringing cars into yards su as to do away with the present abuse of unloading cars in the | streets. The report then continues with a history of the freight business done by the Baltimore and Votomac road in this city, and refers to the fact that from October 14 to November 20, 1889, there were 1.265 curs consigned to Washington held back at various poi ‘The daily require- | ments of the road, says the report, are for 600 cars, while there are facilities for handling only 308 cars. CONFINED TO CERTAIN LiMita, The yards and sidings, however, should be confiued to certain limits, Loth cast and west, says the report, so that the space within which the heavy business of the city shail be trans - acted may be located as to interfere as little as possible with the trafic from the river front | to the other portions of the city. The commit- tee therefore recommend that the sidings be , confined to the section east of 6th street and west of 12th street southwest and to a certain small territory north of the Eastern Branch. ‘This restriction on the west gives free acccss to Long Bridge by way of 14th :.reet. Twelfth and 13th streets are mentioned as the two great avenues to South Washington and the river front. Should Congress in the future decide to re- quire the Baltimore and Potomac to relinquiek 6th street that thoroughfare will also be added | to the streets, giving easy access between the sections. CROSSING RESERVATIONS, In an appendix to tho report the committee take up the reservation question and, after giving a list of the reservations occupied by the road, come to the conclusion that in gen- eral where the Baltimore and Potomac crosses reservations with its main line it does so u1 avoidably and by virtue of acts of Congress laying out the route of the road, THE SENATE PROGRAM. A Caucus of Republican Senators to Meet Tonight. THE ORDER IN WHICH THE RIVER AND HARBOR, THE TARIFF AND THE ELECTION BILLS, WILL BE TAKEN UP TO BE DETERMINED—GOOD GEN- ERALSHIP REQUIRED. Republican Senators will caucus tonight, and on the conclusions arrived at will depend the business program at the northern end of the Capitol for the remainder of the session. An order of business has to be laid down and it is generally understood that thé “program to be arranged tonight will be satisfactory to the majori! A great many of the republicans want the river and har- bor bill to be firet disposed of, th the tariff bill and lastly the federal elections bill. It is by no means certain, however, that the measures mentioned will come up in that order. Democrats who are opposed to the Lod; bil, and they are all against it, can keep on talking for ever on either the river and harbor or tariff propo- ions if they come up first therefore the friends of the elections bill would like to have it take precedence. It was argued that this would be the best thing to do, because great pressure would be brought on the democrats to cut short theii oratory, so that a vote might be reached; then the river and harbor bill, when it was no longer useful as a club, could be taken upand passed. An effort is being made by the majority of the committee on privileges and elections to have the republicans prom- ise ungnimously that they will. when debate on the bill has been concluded, sit in continuous session until a vote is had. How to curtail debate is now the enigma, Unani- mous consent cannot be had and if an endeavor should be made to 80 amend the rules that debate could be choked off there would be endless discus- sion on the motion to amend A continous session would require at least forty-three republican Senators to eat and sleep in the Capitol and be ready to vote whenever called Upon, "rhe situation is one that eralship on both sides, but just now the burden is on republican shoulders, Tuz New Yorx Assar Orricz tx Goop Cox- DiTIox,—Messrs.

Favorable Report on the Eight-Hour- a-Day Bill, ‘Mr, Bliss, from the Honse committee on labor, today reported with some m‘uor amend- ments the bill constituting eight hours a day's work for all laborers employed by the govern- ment. Inareporton the bill the committee states that the question of shortening the hours j of labor is being considered the world over, and, in the main, the workmen have suaceeded in having the hours reduced. The committee thinks the government can well afford to set anexample of liberality to the rest of the world and accord the same hours to its laborers as it does tu its clerks. It is recommended that the bill as amended be passed. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. A COMPILATION OF DISTRICT LAWS. Senate bill No. 1663, which is to secure for the District of Columbia a complete revision and consolidation of the Inws relating to mu- nicipal affairs in force therein on the Ist day of December, 1891, was submitted to the Com- missioners some days ago for their report as to the advisability of its passage. The bill au- thorizes the Commissioners of the trict and the attorney to examine certain mauuscript volumes prepared by Josiah Quincy Kern with a view of purchasing said manuscript at @ price not to exceed €7,000, in his letter to the Commissioners a few days ago says that he hus not given the matter a very critical or exhaustive examination, but him in the opinion that the parts of the wor! | he has examined appear to have been very well done. He says there can be no doubt that the municipal laws of this District are ina very uncertsin and unsatisfactory He says Mr. Kern professes to have brought together all the statutes in force December 1, | 1889, and bis arrangement is a convenient one | a8 to titles, chapters and sections, but whether | it is a complete and satisfactory consol of the statutes relating to municipal could only be determin fter an extensive ex- amination involving much time and labor. BIDS OPENED. The Commissioners this afternoon opened bids for farnishing the District with terra cotta pipe and cement. The bidders under the pro- osais for terra cotta pipe were Thos. Sommer- je & Son, United States Clay Company American Sewer Pipe Company, McMahon, Porter & Co., Angus Lamond and Potomac ‘Terra Cotta Company, The bidders for cement were W. C. Lewis & Co., Geo. De Mets, Saml. A. Richardson und 8. M. Hamilton & Co. TO ASK FOR NEW BIDS. The Commissioners have decided, in view of the high prices asked for coal under the pro- porals recently invited for the general suppiies of the District and the whispered charges of a “combine, ’ to readvertise for bids. ‘THE HOMEOPATHIC FREE DISPENSARY. The report cf Isabel H. Lennan, president of the Homcopathic Free Dispensai fiscal year just closed, has been submitted to the Commissioners, The treasurer's report which is inclosed shows that the expenditares ‘during the year amounted to 1.16209 Du: | ing the year 2.903 patients were treated, 1, | of whom were white and 1,544 colored. | report says that much more could be done if one or two homeopaths were added to the aia of the health department. Of the 850 allotted to the dispensary | the report shows that $192 has been paid to | the two physicians tor medicines, leaving but | €158 received by the dixpensary. To every | other charity in the city, the report says, the Commissioucrs allow not less than two or three hundred dollars each year. In closing the president appeals for an increase of this amount, Daring the fiscal year ending June 30, 1890, the report of Wm. M. Dove, the inspector of j fucl, shows he weighed and measured 7,950 tons | of coal and 423 cords of wood, for which he re- ceived in fees $1,628.07. CONTRACTS AWARDED. The contract for turnishing the District with 75 fire hydrauts bas been awarded to Edward L. Deut ut 255.95 each; also the contract for fui nishing the District with 50 street hydrants at §5 each. ‘MISCELLANEOTS, The annual report of E. L. Harbaugh, in- spector of lumber, shows that daring the last fiscal year he inspected 3,100,714 feet of yellow pine lumber, ets eae Thirty Thousand Cases Filed. The applications for pensions under the new pension laware being received daily at the Pension Office, The volume is increasing from day to day. It is estimated that about 30,000 applications have already been received. The work of adjudicating these eases has not yet been begun and will not be until the bocks for recording these cases have been prepared. It is expected also that Congress will authorize the employ- ment of an extra force of clerks, and Commis- sioner Raum says that unless that is done the adjudication of these cases will muke slow progress, It thought tha: when the cases aro properly before the | office that they can be disposed of very rapidly; in fact. much more rapidly than the ordinary pen- sion cases. There is one question of fact to be determined iu the disability pension cases, and that is whether the claimant is unable to earn his living by manual labor.
