District day. The pending motions are Mr. Hemphill’s amend- ment striking ont the first section of the bill and Mr, Moore's motion to recommit with in- structions to report a bill removing the pas- senger station fromthe mall. Either on this motion to recommit or on # direct amendment by the way of proviso at the end of the bill, or in both ways, it is expected to test the House upon the question of railroad occupation of the mall. There are some Representatives like Mr. Heard who do not favor a removal of the station from the mall, but who are willing to compel the road to remove its tracks from 6th street, cover them completely in their course through the mall and thus reduce the disfigure- ment and obstruction to as great an extent as can be accomplished without disturbing the present passenger station. If the proposition to remove the station and tracks entirely from the mall should be defeated or postponed it is probable that this scheme of improving a: occupation which must be endured will be pre- sented for consideration by way of amendment, either separately or in connection with some treatment of the grade-crossing evil SEVERAL PLANS PROPOSED. There are several plans of reducing the num- ber of grade crossings, upon which the opinion of the House may be tested by amendments, leaped into fourth place in ‘the Atlantic Association race by defeating the Wilmingtons, 4to2 The Delaware team played in extremely bard ~ luck, making more hits and less errors than their oppo- nents, but somehow or other they could not bat the bail opportunely. The Senators were extremely fortunate, every one of their hits counting in the tally, while their errors happened to be of little avail to the other side. The base running of the home team was scientific a helped to the vict in no small degree. batlerion were Danicle and. Riddle and Wehrle and Corcoran. ex-Texan was quite as ef- fective against the Statesmen as ever, keeping them down toa minimum number of hits. In the first inning Bader went to first on balls, atole second and wert to third on Whistle: sacrifice hit, He was danci sround third base when Wehrle took it into his head to toss the ball to Carl. As soonas he did so Bader dug his toes in the alley and streaked out for home, Carl returned the ball to the plate and folxs generally thought that the runner was out, but Umpire Kelly disagreed with everybody and let the run count. In the fourth Carl made a hit past first and went to second on Whistler’ bad throw.

During the year three of the smaller reservations not hitherto improved were partially improved, as follows: Reserva- tion No. 101, at the intersection of Maryland and Virginia avenues, between 7th and 9th streets southwest, ground north of railway tracts graded and inclosed by chain fence; res- ervation No, 188, at New York avenue. ist and M streets northwest, graded, and reservation ‘207, at intersection of North Carolina avenue, 9th and A streets southeast, inclosed with a chain fence. In the grounds north of the Executive Mansion the asphait walks were re- newed, and in the Smithsonian grounds 1,759 square yards of additional asphalt pavement and 445 square yards of additional asphalt foot- walks were constructed, and an aren of 690 square — of asphalt was laid between the center building and the wings of the Army Medical Museum, The work of improving the grounds around the Pension building in Judi- ciary Square has been well advaneed. and in reservation No, 17 (Garficld Park) additional ground has been graded for lawn purposes and new gutters and drain traps constructed and drain — laid. The Washington monument has received the necessary care, and the improvement of the grounds around its base was continued as far as available funds would permit.

New Yor, July 10. On Tuesday the city saw a parade of bunger and poverty, but the event only showed bow superior is the condition of our lowest classes to that of the dregs of the population in other countries, This was the parade of the striking and the unemployed cloak makers. It was directed by a Scotchman and was on the model of the monstrous parades of the unemployed in Londen, Unioubtediy the greatest destita- tion prevails among these poor operatives, most of whom are drawn from the porerty- stricken masses in Hungary, Italy, Germany and other continental countries. Their con- dition here may be not so very much in ad- vance of the squalor that they left at home, yet at the same time if one could judge from the sidewalk on Tvesday these men have very much bettered themselves and are at present in no desperate straits. At the best, of course their condition is an ugly one; they are out of work, they have no money and the wolf is very near the door. Still much of their misery springs from their own pride or stubbornness, fully as much so as from the conditions of the labor market, for all the employers are anxious to fill the orders which are pouring in upon them and they are willing to pay what they consider a fair rate of wages.

For example. the Eckington Electric, which runs out to the new Catholic University and to Glenwood Cemetery, duriny the month of June carried over three thousan passengers daily, ral holiday ike Decoration day the traffic was over ten thou- sand passengers. Now this company is about to extend their Jine through 5th and G streets to 15th street, and this direct communication with the heart of the city will nodoubt increase the daily number of visitors to the country, The Georgetown und Tenleytown Electric road is also a favorite drive for the people, ‘The tracks have been laid nearly to Tenley- town and the work is being pushed forward rapidly with the ultimate intention of reach- ing the District iine. In order to ‘ommo- date those who ride for pleasure » temporary pavilion has been builtat the present termi- nus of the road, which is beyond Oak View. ‘The facilities now afforded for reaching Oak View would probably not make that place seem #0 desirable as 2 place of residence to the former owner, ex-President Cleveland, as iu the day when the impecunious office seeker was discouraged from calling on the President im his country retreat by the preliminary neces- sity of making some satisfactory arrangement with the livery man, OUT THE SEVENTH STREET ROAD. ‘The South Washington organizations favor an elevated road, running through purchased squares between I and K streets, and along the river front, The board of trade recommends a depression and bridging of the tracks west of 4'g street on the avenues now occupied by the road, substantially the plan which Senators Morrill and Ingalls and Engineer Commis- sioners Twining and Ludlow have advocated, An amendment offered by Mr. Heard is pend- ing, which retains the tracks where they are, but provides that the company shail, under the direction of the Commissioners, coustruct suv- ways for the passage of vehiclesand passengers under the tracks on 4th and 11th streets, By 4th street 434 street ia probably intended, as there 18 no 4th street southwest. The South Washington people's plan would remove all the grade crossings from Maryland and Virginia avenues, the board of trade's plan would abolish them west of 4}¢ streetand Mr. Heard’s plan would permit the people to pass under the tracks at two points, omitting entirely any pro- vision for the important crossing at 7th street, where, according to a reliable count recently made and published in Tug Stag, nearly 8,000 people and considerably over 2,000 vehicles were in the daylight hours of a single day sub- jected to the obstruction of 116 lowerings of the gates and to the dangers from an oqual tallying the visitors could do, as the clean field work and the masterly picthing they had to face were too much for them. The home team tied the score in the fifth, Jordan made the first Senatorial hit of the game and sto. second, He crossed the plate by means of sacrifice by Hill and a safe one by Wentz, THE GAME WAS WON. in the sixth, two runs being added to the Statesmen’s record. Bader, Gleason and Bird hit for a base apiece, Whistler made his second sacrifice and Newell fumbled a ball, Bader and Gleason scoring. In the latter half things looked very shaky for Washington. ‘Iwo men were on the bases efter hitting safely, after Michael Jordan had stolen a two-bagger by his magnificent running catch, With this one out Wentz grabbed the next ball hit, put it on second and lined it down to first in time to put out the batsman on a@ double piay and thus cut off the run. Washington made § hits and 4 errors and Wilmington 9 hits and 2 errors, GAMES ELSEWHERE, The ex-champions lost their seventeenth straight game and fourth place, New Haven being the victor again, 6 to 5, after ten exciting innings. Poor fielding did the business for sons who have made the ascent since the shaft was opened to the public in October, 1888. An additional green house was efected in the nursery grounds anda large fountain basin, with ornamental stone coping, was constructed in the reservation at the intersection of Penne aylvania avenue and 13th street northwest, Necessary repairs were made in the Execu- tive Mansion during the year and some new carpets, matting and articles of furniture were An electric fire alarm was intro- fires, A portion of the four-inch pipe convey- ing water from the Franklin Square spring tog baa coghenyesrachirce: promiyeans the Executive Mansi ken up and re- Placed with new pipes.

FURNITURE, ‘Those who don’t care about the scenery along the Tenleytown road or in the vicinity of Eck- ington can travel out the 7th street road to Brightwood. The cars are still drawn by horses on this line, but the company is now engaged in putting in the Judson system, which will enable the cars to glide along in the same mysterious fashion that is the feature of the electric and the cablo roads, It ought not to be forgotten in enumerating the suburban street railroads that the thriving town of An- acostia, across the Eastern Branch, is con- nected’ with the city bya street railway. A great many people go over there every evening to enjoy the cooi breezes which are said by the residents to be several degrees superior to that found in any other section of the muburbs, By next spring anvther great artery of travel from the city wili be opened up, At that time itis expected that the Rock Creek railroad, the new electric rond which isto be built on Connecticut avenue extended, will be com- pleted. This part of Connecticut avenne has only come into existence within the past few months. Then surveyors found their way through the forests which extended in almoxt native wildness from the Woodley Lane road to the District line, and drove their stakes. A greater part of the land through which the avenue passes had been purchased by Mr. F. G, Newlands, the representative of what is known as the California syndicate, Now the survey of the avenue has been com- pleted and the trees cleared trom the laud over the entire line, A churter for au electric street railway was granted by Congress and contracts have been given ont for grading the road bed, and on the northern end considerable progress has been made with the work. The distance from the boundary of the city to the District hne is about four miles. The avenue and also the railroad is to be extended beyond the Dis- trict line into Maryland and will ‘be continue through property owned by the same partics to a point in the Laird farm ond = Bethesda, where a junction will formed with’ the proposed’ Metropolits Southern railroad, which ts to be bunit, it said, from Linden on the Metropolitan Brauch of the Baltimore snd Obio to the Potomac fiver near the Chain Bridge, and is to cross the river over a new bridge, thus giving the Balt- more and Ohio # southern connection. The Maryland part of the Kock Creek railroad will be about a mile long. ‘The road will go through 4 new country and it is expecied that improve- ments will be made all along the line, WOMEN AS KEAL ESTATE AGENTS. In this city at least the sphere of woman in- cludes the real estate business. There are quite aiarge number of women who are extensive owners of property, which they attend to per- sonally. They build houses aud then reut or sell them, they look out for chances for invest- ment and rely upon their own judgment in de- termining whether an iuvestment promises well or not, Some of them have be successful. There is one woman ut lei night and day. The explanation is, of course, the feverish and unnatural activity due to the change in the tariff laws. The government is soon to pile Ossaon Pelion, by adding to the customs administrative bill, which goes into operation on the Istof August, a tariff “re- form" bill that is expected to destroy large branches of the import business, ‘Taken to- gether the two measures have driven the im- porters to desperation, and there is # mad at- tempt to get goods enough into the country before the day of judgment to last for some time after that event.

In addition to the propositions in relation to the mall and grade crossings, which are de- signed to protect property and life, by way of compensation to the public for the privileges to be granted by the bill, there are amend- ments pending, proposed by Mr. Atkinson, which are designed to avoid specific objections to the different sections of the bill. One objec- tion made to the bill has been that it confirms surface tracks and authorizes the construction of additional surtace tracks west of 44 strect, over the part of the road from which it is sought to remove grade crossings. and that the meas- ure not only does not cure the grade-cross- ing evil itself, but tends to perpetuate the sur- ks and prevent any relief from them in the future. To meet this objection Mr. Atkinson proposes an amendment to the second section, which limits the Commis- ra’ powets of authorizing additional side trucks to the space east of 43¢ street. But no siwilar amendment is proposed to the first and third seetions, The road may still condemn aud run tracks to its acquired property west of 4}¢ street, and the existing tracks illegally oc- cupying open spaces of the United States west of that street are confirmed, Should all propositions concerning present treatment of the queston of mall oceupation and dangerous grade crossings be defeated, it is thought likely that the Representatives who desire to protect the people and the parks will endeavor to so shape the bill that it will furnish the teast ob- stacle to these improvements in the future, and will propose amendments in the line of Mr. Atkinson's which will confine the application of ull three sections of the bill to the space east of 434 street, leaving the tracks west of that street to be considered later. It is contended iu support of such amendments, and not denied that there is ample, convenient and cheap room tor freight facilities east of that street, THE PUKLIC RESERVATIONS, Another amendment proposed by Mr. Atkin- son adds to the third section of the bill the provision that nothing herein contained shall be construed as making a grant or comfrma- tion to the said company of any land now the property of the United States, This amend- meut is evidently proposed to meet the objec- tion which has been urged against the first section of the biil that it grants or confirms to the railroad the use of six small reservations or Open spaces, the property of the United Siates, which the side tracks now illegally traverse and occupy. Some of those who do not favor the surrender of the use of this public property to the railroad without compensation in any shape to the public are of the opinion that whatever provision is made in the line of Mr. Atkinson's amendment should be attached to irat section of the bill, ‘he opinion is also expressed that it would be more simple to ex- cept from the legalizing provision tracks whic cross and occupy this government property For the care of the Executive Mansion and needed repairs $43,000 is asked, being an in- crease of $10,000. For putting granite curbs around the edges of Lafayette and Franklin squares 8: is asked, and a like sum is wanted for continuing the improvement of the monument grounds. For replacing the pres- ent meaty worn stone sidewalk on Pennsylvania enue in front of the Executive Mausion with a new granolith pavement 87,800 is asked. AD increase from $12,000 to €20,000 is asked for the improvement of reservations so as to admit of improving each year a considerable number of the 200 reservations still unimproved in the city. ——- -— MT.

LOW YS. HIGH CEILINGS. There is more discussion during the heated term about the relative cooluess of houses and the advantage of this or thet location in refer- ence tothe points of the compass than at any vther period of the y. ‘This is the time when people talk about the south exposure and the east exposure and about the benciits of hav- ing « house where 4 iree circulation of air can besecured. Defectsin house construction which were never before noticed are at this time apt to become glaringly apparent. The man who from motives of economy of ignorance redaced the height of the air #] over the upper story of his house is apt to think he made a mistake when he compares the tem; ture of the rooms in that story with the rooms in the lower stories, Perhapss more important question affecting a recent popular fashion in bouse building is that of the relative advantages of rooms with high ceilings as compared with roows having low ceilings. Whatever artistic than to confirm the roadin the occupation of these reservations and then add that nothing in the acé is to be construed ns ing such contirmation, Other amendmeuts that have been offered are one by Mr. Moore, referring the whoie question to ® commission, one by Mr. Lind making it the duty of the road in cousideration of the privileges conferred to carry persons free of charge between points in the District, and one by Mr. Baker reoom- mitting the Lill, with instructions to provide for the removal of the passenger station and tor depressing wil tracks where practicable, or for overhead passage ways, eee es CLAIMS TO BE HIS DAUGHTER, Contestants for the Estate of the Late Daniel W.

Although good work is being done in general athletics, the greatest interest has been in base ball. ‘The team for thie year ix playing three games a weck at the grounds and rapidly taking its place in the front rank of Washington amateurs.

SUGGESTIONS. ‘While the committee was out several gentle- men gave their views upon the subject of the inadequacy of the means of transportation in and out of Mount Pleasant. Several sugge: tions were made, one of them coming from Mr, Woodruff to the effect that the railroad be r quested to run continuous cars out to the vi lage while waiting for the completion of the improvements that are now going on at diffe ent parts of the line. Another gentleman sug- gested the advisability of running every other car, in view of the fact that the present track rom the boundary to Mount Pleasantissingle a of the way. An indignant citizen spoke unguardedly in a general way of the franchise of the road, whereupon Chairman Judd said that if any one could discover any franchise for the line he would be surprised, for he had looked for it a long time in vain. At this pomt Assistant District Attorney Armes arrived and was added to the committee on resolutions. Mr. Bonsall said he had seen the president of the W. and G, road, Mr. Hurt, a day or so ago, and that the latter had told him that the ri plots outside the building which he shares with others whom the state eequesters, for longer or shorter terms, HOW THE METROPOLIS GROWS.

This is equal to the entire valua- tion of many,an ambitious and thriving city, yet the growth is scarcely Bem so enormous is the size and wealth of the metrop- olis, A town that can add nearly one hundred million dollars to its real estate valuation in a single year is in a position to curl the lip of scorn at the boom towns of the west. At the same time we have bad rather a fright today in a =. from Washington that the census count has panned out only 1,500,000, in- stead of the 1,700,000 expected.

As stated recently in Tur Star the board of governors of the Columbia Athletic Club have decided not to join in with the two other boat clubs in the proposed movement looking to- ward a joint regatta on the Potomac some time in the fall. The reason for this action on their part was the fact that the annual games of the Amateur Athletic Union are to be held in this city this year, and as all the arrangements will The committee, upon returning, presented resolutions to the effect that it was deemed advisable to appoint a further committee of five to wait upon the officers of the road and to ascertain from them what relief is proj d for the people of Mount Pleasant and the vi- cinity. and to urge upon them the need of better car service, without cha: at the Boundary and without extra fare. ese Teso- lutions were adopted, and the following com- mittee was appointed: Mr. Judd, Maj. 8.
