The Conference Report Adopted by the | Senator Hoar Still at Work on the Elec- House This Afternoon. ‘MR. M'COMAS CONTENDS THAT IF THE BILL 16 PASSED AS REPORTED BY THE CONFEREES THERE WILL BE ¥O DEFICIEXCY—TALK ABOUT STREET RAILROAD MOTORS, SUFFRAGE, ETC. The House laid aside the sundry civil bill today and took up the conference report on the District appropriation bill. It was agreed, after some discussion, that there should be two hours—one hour on each side—for debate. ‘THE THREATENED DEFICIENCY. Mr. Mutchler spoke against the. conference report, basing his opposition upon the report of the District Commissioners that if the bill should become a law in the present form there would be a deficiency. He said the deficiency would be at least $275,000, and possibly it would reach @400,000. He said according to the earlier estimate of revenue the deficiency would be $276,830. In the estimate of revenues there was one item of 97,500 for taxes upon new build- ings. It now turns out that the taxes on new buildings will not be more than $60,000, all of which may not be collected. ‘This’ would enlarge the deficiency by twice the amount of difference between the two estimate: or 75,000. In the same estimates w: item of $45,090 for deficiencies. This was not large enough, the amount of District deficiencies for past years caused by the gen- eral deficiency bill being $79,634.79, an increase of appropriation of $34,634.79, which would still further increase the deficiency. These two items added would swell the deficiency to $386,466 under the most favorable circum- stances, He said that to approve the conference re- port was to make a debt against the District or to place in the hands of the Commissioners the discretion to scale down the expenditures au- thorized by the bill so as to keep within the revenue. He thought that Congress should sproreiate just the amount that could be safely expended and should say how it should be expended. Mr. Mutchler yielded five minutes to Mr. Sayers, who also spoke against the adoption of the report, DISCUSSING STREET RAILROADS, There was a long discussion over the provis- ion that the street railroads earning ten per cent shall within eighteen months substitute some other motive power in the place of horses, but the confusion on the floor, by rea- son of general conversation, was so great that it was impossible to hear what was suid. Mr. Sayers raised some objection to the phraseology of the provision and Mr. McComas explained, Mr. Heard thought the length of time for the change was not sufficient. Mr. McComas said there would be no difii- culty in making the change in one year, but that six mouths more were allowed that there might be no possible lack of time. ‘MR. M'COMAS CONTENDS THAT THERE WILL BE NO DEFICIENCY. Mr. McComas, returning to the question of deficiency, said that the bill was well within the limit of the revenues of the District, but that the Commissioners were arguing in favor of dividing the payment for the expenditure; on the new Water main aud the zoo par in twenty-five annual payments, He said he Proposed to show that there was no deticiency, notwithstanding the remarkable tigures of the Commissioners. He then proceeded to show wherein the figures of the Commissioners were wrong. He suid the revenues of the District would be far in excess of the last estimates of the Commissioners. He had a letter from the District auditor, under date of July 26, which showed that if the receipts for the next year were as great ay those already collected for the year preceding, the deficiency would not be more than $23,000, and Cor bape that the natural increase would more than overcome this deficiency. Mr. McComas said that there was no doubt of the revenues exceeding the appropriations, He said that six years’ experience with this subject had made him confident of what he de- clared, IN FAVOR OF THE CONFERENCE REPORT. Gen. Henderson next spoke in support of the conference report. He said that the House committee were unanimous in their opposition to the proposition to extend the payments on the water main and the zoo park. E ‘ongly defended the proposition to ‘ect railroads adopt some other motive power in the place of horses. MR, BRECKINRIDGE WANTS A CHANGE. Mr. Breckinridge in a general way opposed the report on the ground that they ought to be cautious about creating a deficiency. He then ke of the anomalous government of the District. He thought there ought to be some sort of readjustment or dissolution of the | srslarnotgay between the government and the istrict. However proper the plan may have been at the time of its adoption, he though: that thero had been changer. He thought it would be in the interest of economy to let the District coliect und wpend their own revenues. THE DUAL sYSTEM. Mr. Vaux spoke of the dangers of deficiencies, He thought that deficiencies were apt to arise from the uncertainty of the dual system of making appropriations, Mr. Poters contended that in expending the money for street improvements preference should be given to streets which are largely built up. THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT. Mr. Bayne answered the suggestion that the government of the District should be separated from the na- tional government, stating that the Con- stitution expressly’ provides that the national government should excrcise sole control of this District, and declaring that this power G? con- trol could not be delegated. He added that the present government of the District was the best in force in any municipality. THE QUESTION OF SUFFRAGE. Mr. McAdoo thought that the people of this District were intelligent enough to be given the right to govern themselves, against this was an argument against the ad- visability of popular self-government. ‘fhe denial of the right of suffrage to the people of the District wasa denial of the es- sonce of popular self-government, A DEMOCRATIC CRITICISM. Mr, McMillan criticised the majority for the delay in passing the appropriations bills. He twitted Mr. McComas with having boasted that the appropriation bills were to be passed very romptly and uot delayed, as the democrats [2p jelayed them in the former Congress, and asked where his boasted promptness was. Mr. Cannon spoke for afew moments toshow that the practice of extending appropriations did not originate in this Congress, THE GOVERNMENT A GOOD ONE, Mr. J. D. Taylor, recurring to the question of suffrage, waid thata large number of the residents of the District voted elsewhere. He said that the government her? was a good one, and another thing that some seemed to forget was that the nation owns the District and governs it for the whole people, that it might be the pride of tne whole nation, ur. McComas said that in the Nes interest of the great nation he believed that the appro- priations should be made dollar for dollar out of the general revenue and the District rey- enue. THE REPORT ADOPTED BY A RISING VOTE—57 To 27 A vote was taken on the report at 2:30. A rising vote resulted in the adoption of the re- port by a vote of 57 to 27. Mr. Mutchler then called for the yeas and nays. MA. M'CREARY WANTS TO KXoW. When the rol! call was started Mr. McCreary asked what the vote was on. The Speuker eaid it was on the adoption of the conference report, ir. McCreary asked hesitatingly what the subject of the report was and Mr. Reid replied that it was the report on the District appropriation bill, on which debate had is morning been limited to two hours, now just closed. This provoked a laugh on both sides of the House at the oxpense of Mr. Mc- Crary. TRE CONFERENCE REPORT ADOPTED. Ona vote by yeas and nays the conference report was adopted by a vo! if 98 to 61.

They will meet again tomorrow, at which time it is expected their report will be completed, SENATORS TAKING VACATIONS.

Senator Chandler, who had expected to return to Washington from New Hampshire this week, writes that he has been prostrated by a severe attack of dysentery and will be compelled to remain at home some days longer. THE COMPOUND LARD BILL. The House committee on agriculture today decided to report favorably the bill introduced in the House by Mr. Conger last Monday to regulate the manufacture and sale of compound lard. The bill is similar in Innguage and scope to the amended bill already reported by the committee, the only material changes being s few small reductions in the rate of taxation, and the purpose of reporting this last bill is to facili- tate action on the subject in substituting it for the amended bill first reported and thereby avoiding the necessity for separate votes on the numerous amendments to the original bill. THE ALLIANCE IN LOUISIANA, Representatives Asked to Give Their Views on Various Propositions. The Representatives from Louisiana are the latest members of the House receiving the at- tention of the Farmers’ Alliance, They have been requested to give their views onthe propositions laid down by the alliance, and those who have complied have refused to in- dorse the subtreasury bill. Mr. Blanchard and Mr. Coleman have opposition, but Mr. Robertson and Mr. Boatner have so far the field to themselves in their respective districta, WAS IT A CLUB? A Poker Case that Depends on the De- cision of an Interesting Question. In the Police Court yesterday afternoon the hearing in the case of Fritz Herzog on the charge of keeping a gambling house near 2ist and K streets was continued after Tu Stan's report closed. ‘Testimony was given that it was requisite to sign the constitution of the club, which it was claimed rented the rooms, before one could play there, Sergeant Trunnell testified that Detective Block handed him the warrant on the 21st inst. Testimony was given for the defense to the effect that for some years several persons had been organized into « poker club and played at different houses. The wives of members ob- jecting to stale tobacco smoke they looked for uarters outside and arranged for the us of the rooms at Herzog’s. Mr. H. received no benefit from the club. It was the custom to allow a party introduced to play twice before requiring him to sign the constitution. It was a bona fide club, according to the witnesses, and the attendance was from five to fourteen or fifteen, Officer Block said that he received his infor- mation from the Commissioners and under- stood that there were complaints to the Com- missioners. Mr. Cahill denied that there were any com- plaints and defied Block to name one who had complained. Mr. Block was asked which Commissioner re- ceived the complaints, but declmed to answer. The hearing was then adjourned till today. THE HEARING TODAY. When the hearing was resumed in the Police Court this afternoon Detective Block was re- called and questioned by Mr. Cahill concern- ing his evidence given yesterday, but the court declined to hear the evidence. Mr. Cahili remarked tha: the matter would probably be inquired into by Block's superior officers. One of the players, who was taken into cus- tody when the place was raided, said Mr. Her- zog furnished the rooms and made no charge for it, but later on they voted to Ray him $1 a night for the use of the room. Witness said that Herzog also furnished a waiter. Herzog did not own the chips, cards or other para- phernalia. In answer to Mr. Cahill’s question witness said that he was under the impression that the articles of incorporation had been re- corded, “Fish don’t bite any better because the club is incorporated?” interrupted the court, “No, sir,” responded the witness. Mr. Cahill then explained that there is an im pression prevailing that incorporations protect these clubs agains! tion.

GUY’S DEFENSE, [Continued from Third Page.) “atew lang since have known that a re were proterred against you?” “About seven weeks ago I saw the factstated ims newspaper. Four or five ago I re- ceived a message to come down to see Col. Robert.” COL, ROBERT RAISES A QUESTION. “I intend to raise the question right here that nothing that has has been said to me as a Com- missioner at any time shall be introduced as testimony in this case, and I want the uestion settled right now,” said Col rt. He was evidently very much in earnest about it and broke in several times on the questions that Mr. Claughton put to Guy as to conversation he had had with Gol. Hobert at the District building, but Mr. Hazelton assured bim that he would raise an objection to every such question that was asked the defendant Mr. Claughton asked Guy what Col. Robert had said to him when he came downto the District building. ‘MR. HAZELTON OBJECTS. “TI object,” said Mr. Hazelton at once. “Well, let's have the matter settled right here,” was Mr. Claughton’s remark, and an argument on the le; status and duties of the Gnaxuielenecas enaanty and ina body, was — ir. Hazelten left the room and returned with a legal volume of authority on evidence and d to read from it at length, claim- ing that it settled the matter conclusively and that the authority of the Commissioners was complete in their own limits and that it was optional with Col. Robert whether or not he would allow the matter to be made public. Mr. Claughton said that he had not asked what some one had told Col. Robert about Guy, but simply what Col. Robert had told him. This being the case he held that as there was no one to be protected there was no reason why the veil of secrecy should be cast around that conversation. A few criti- cisms were made about letting the unsworn testimony of the ex-policeman Smith get out into the public print and this BROUGHT COL. ROBERT TO HIS FEET with an earnest objection. He held that the board of Commissioners was not a court, and he objected strongly to any criticiem being made in that way upon the actions of any of the Commissioners. Mr. Douglass interposed and called upon Mr. sre arp! to confine his argument to the merits of the case and not to descend to per- sonalities in any way. “If any one is to blame for letting those papers get out we are all to blamo together,” said Mr. Douglass. SAID COL, ROBERT EXPRESSED AN OPINION. “But I want to show that Col. Robert ex- pressed an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the dofendant,” said Mr. Claughton. “Then you raise the question that Col. Robert should not sit upon this trial?” “That's it exactly.” “Well,” said Mr. Hine, ‘‘this is not the place nor the time to raise that question. AndI hold that the question Mr. Claughton has asked Lieut. Guy is out of place and should not be answered as it is irrelevant, to say the least.” Mr. Douglass took same ground and the ques- tion remained unanswered. COL. ROBERT'S STATEMENT. Col. Robert rose and said: ‘Inasmuch as my name is used so freely in this case I want it to be understood that all I have done in this matter was done in my _ offi- cial capacity as a Commissioner and with the knowledge and approval of the other Com- missioners. as it was understood that I was to conduct tho preliminary investigation. Lieut. Guy came to me not as a civilian but as one of the subordinates of the Commissioners. He had to come, and as a subordinate officer he was compelled to answer any proper questions that I might put to him.” That settled the matter and the case then proceeded, THE BAID ON MRS. BOXD's HOUSE, Guy was asked a number of questions as to the charge of conduct unbecoming an officer with reference to the case of Shurland and Maddox in the raid on Mrs, Boyd's house. He told his story about that matter, He said that he had told them simply to go to Mrs. Boyd’s—not to take any one with them, but simply to sit around and see what was going on, Shurland did not follow directions, but went “off down town on a bum,” and as a re- sult of his actions there aud later at Mrs. Boyd's was tried and dismissed from the force. ADJOURNED TILL FRIDAY. Thisclosed the direct examination for the defense. Mr. Douglass said that the trial would have to adjourn at 1 o'clock as Mr. Hine was obliged to leave for New York this after- noon. This being the case, and as it was near 1 o’elock then, Mr. Hazelton said he would prefer not to begin his examination until the d reconvened, aa this would save time. The trial then adjourned until 1 o'clock Fri- day afternoon, COL. ROBERT TALES. In 8 conversation with a Star reporter after the caso was over for tho day Col. Robert said: “This must not be coustrued into a court. It is simply a trial board. The Commissioners have full power to dismiss a man without any such trial, but we wish to give a man a perfectly fair show. The law- yers are here to aid us in this investi- ation and not to convict or acquit a man on technicalities: We have a full right to conduct tho investigation as we Please, for our, sole object is to get at the ottom facts in the matter. What we wunt to know is whether men are efficient and suitable officers or not, and if they are not, we should find out ‘that fact and miss them from the force. It _ cannot affect the merits of the case, how we find out whether a man is innocent or guilty, and I think that we have a perfect right to tell the lawyers at any time that they have gone far enough. We must conduct the trial on our lines.” a THIS WOMAN ABANDONED HIM. A Little Child Sent From England to Conceal a Crime. The mystery surrounding the identity of the little waif found in Logan Square, Philadel- phia, a few weeks ago and who so strangely resembled the ideal LittleLord Fauntleroy as to excite popular sympathy in his behalf, was unraveled yesterday by the Society to Protect Children from Cruelty. ‘The society sent information about the aban- donment broadcast over this country and Eng- land andafew daysago word was received from an English society engaged in similar work that a boy now about five years old and answer- ing the description of the little waif had been given into the care of a Mra, Jane Anguish about &@ year ago. Agents Watson and Ward of the so- ciety traced the family to Philadelphia, where they are located in @ neat two-story house at No. 636 Owen street. A warrant was sworn out before gr neg Kane charging Mrs. Anguish with alandoning the child, and the party proceeded toOwen street. Mrs, Puncbeon, matron of the Children’s Society, accompanied the officers with the child, and remained out- side while the officers entered the house and accused Mrs, Anguish of the crime. The woman was s0 astonished she could not deny the accusation, and then Mrs. Puncheon and the boy were called in. When the child saw ee Aogeieh he ran to her in great glee, call- ing out: “Oh, mamma, mamma, this is my mamma!” Denial was no longer possible, and the woman on being taken before Magistrate Kane said that his name is Fred Fuller, and that his father is a man of wealth in England, while his mother isa woman of refinement and intelli- ence, The woman said she was paid to bring the child to this country with her about a year ago. She abandoned the waif because she has three children of her own, and her husband, Charles Anguish, has not been able to make much money at his trade as a shoe cutter. Mra. Anguish was held in #600 for a further ae She gave the name and address of the little lord's father in land and the so- ciety will communicate wit remains in the care of Mra, Puncheon. He isa pretty little chap and has excited great interest. He is very correct in expressing himself, manly and polite, His quaint expression and pert sayings have created much amusement for the dozen or more charitably disposed ladies who were eager to adopt him. ————-ce+_—______ Tho strike of the street em) in Grand Rapids, Mich., is prea Kon eng . ‘The demand feursand 6175 day. ‘This has beet cared bet dare le CONSOLIDATING THE STORES. The Navy Department Taking Measures to Carry Out the New Law. A circular has been issued by Secretary ‘Tracy designed to carry into effect the pro- visions of the naval appropriation bill for a common store for the entire navy, instead, as heretofore has been the case, of a separate store for each bureau. Formerly each bureau bought all of its own stores and supplies, and by expending all the money appropriated for its use had, asa consequence. « constantly in- creasing stock,growing larger from year to year. These sccumulations have not been as valu. ablo as at the time of their purchase, owing to their age. A year ago a new system was au- thorized, enabling the bureaus to exchange their extra stores on transfer juisitions, but this only partly remedied the difficulty, owing to adisinclination on the part of the bureaus to give away their stores without adequate compensation in the way of equiva- lent stores, and in many cases it was cheaper to into the open market and buy new stuff. The late act vided that here- after all supplies purchased with moneys ap- propriated by that act shall be deemed to be purehased forthe mavy and not for any bu- reau, thus forming s common stock, by means of which the enormous accumulation of for- mer times will be prevented.

He Is Arrested on a Charge of Obtaining Money by False Pretenses.
