WHAT 15 EXPECTED OF THEM—TROGRAM OF THE MATCHES AT CREEDMOOR—RIG TROPHIES FOR BEST MARKSMEN—OUR roys DO NOT HOPE TO CAPTURE ANY OF THEM THIs YEAR, | Ready for Creedmoor, but more or less anz- ious about their ability to compete successfully with veteran teams from the army and several of the states, are those members of the District National Guard who have been practicing with the rifle for some time past. Today they have been at the arsenal range pounding away and doing their utmost to make at least a sitisfac- tory showing. Not even the most sanguine expects the local team to bring home any of the big trophies; it would be unreasonable to expect such a feat of men who are compara- tively green and who have never before shot asateam. From the work that has been done in practice it is, however, plain that the shoot- ing of the local military will be up to more than average figures. THE DISTRICT TEAM AT CREEDMOOR.

For the former prize, which is worth $3,000 and is held fora year, there will be a good deal of fierce competition. Massachu- setts has captured it for the past four years, but she will not this year, because her riflemen are disgusted with somcthing that has haj penedat Creedmoor and will not go there wh: the present tvonditions’ obtain.

THE SITUATION IN THE HOUSE—THE CITIZENS’ EFFORT TO GET RID OF SURFACE TRACKS AND MURDEROUS GRADE CROSSINGH—THE PENDING AMENDMENTS IN THE HOUSE. Monday is District day in the House’and an- other effort will be made by the friends of the Pennsylvania railroad to pass the Atkinson bill. Their aim is to get the bill through the House, if possible, on Monday and then to rush it through the Senate before the close of the session, This is an ambitious aim in view of the present situation of measures of national importance which arc pending and cannot secure an hour for consideration, but the railroad people are confident of their power, and itis claimed for them that they will have the aid of Mr. Gorman and other leading democrats to carry out their program in pursuance of an arrangement made with Senator Quay for the defeat of the force bill. But the situation in the House is such as to preclude the idea of final action on Monday unless some arbitrary means of hastening the matter are resorted to. Though tho bill has occupied every District day for many weeks, to the exclusion of all business of im- portance to the District people, yet the — propositiot to amend in’ the interest of the District have not had considera- tion. The time has been taken up largely, first, by some general discussion ote bill and then by parliamentary struggles on the part of the friends of the measure to prevent the consideration of ameduments looking to the protection of the life and limbs of people in the city—resident or visiting. THE PARLIAMENTARY SITUATION. There is a parliamentary knot to be undone now before the various propositions for the re- lief of the people can be considered. On the last day the District had in the House the Pennsylvania railroad had a majority of those members present ona vote to reconsider the action of the House on the preceding District day in recommitting the bill with instructions. On this last vote @ majority of about two to one for recommittal was overcome. But no progress was made with the bill and the matter was left standing practically upon the ques- tion of recommittal, the first vote being a motion to lay on the table a motion to reconsider the vote by which the previous question was ordered on recommittal. ‘There is something of a parliamentary web to unwind before the bill itself can be reached, and then it will be subject to amendments that may be offered or toa motion to recommit with other instructions or with no instructions. The in- structions with which the bill was recommitted a month and a half ago were that provisions be made for the removal of the depot. Many who favor the removal of the grade crossings by some of the several plans suggested do not favor the removal of the depot, and the fact that these instructions were recalled and the bill brought back into the House does not, by any meaus, insure the passage of the bill in its present form. A vote is yet to be taken again | on the proposition to recommit as it now stands, aud there are several propositions for considoration after that. PLANS FOR DOING AWAY WITH GRADE CRosstxas. As has been repeated befor, there are eev- eral plans of reducing the number of grade crossings,upou which the opinion of the House may be tested by amendments. The South Washington organizatiors favor an elevated road, running through purchased squares be- tween Tang gtreetrand along the river front, The board of trade recommends a depression and bridging of the tracks west of 4!4 streeton the avenues now occupied by the road, substan- tially the plan whick Senators Morrill and In- gall and Engineer Commissioners Twining and Ludiow have advocated. An amendment offered by Mr. Heard is pending, which re- tains the tracks where they aro, but pro- vides that the compuny shall, under the di- rection of the Commissioners, construct sub- for the passage of vehicles and passengers under the tracks on 4th and 11th streets, By 4th street 43¢ street probably intended, as there is no 4th sti southwest, Washington people's plan would remove all the grade crossings from Maryland and Virginia avenues, the board of trade's plan would abol- The South | ish them west of 44 street and 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 noarly 8.000 people and. considerably over 2,000 vehicles are in the daylight hours of asingle day subjected to the obstruction of 116 lowerings of the gates and to the dangers from an equal number of passing trains or en- gines. AMENDMENTS PENDING. Mr. Atkinson proposes an amendment to the second section which limits the Com- missioners’ powers of authorizing additional side tracks to the space east of 414 street’ But no similar amendment is proposed to the first and third sections. The road may still con- demn and ran tracks to its acquired property west of 4'y street and the existing tracks ille- gally occupying open spaces of the United States west of that strect ure confirmed. Amendments will be offered to correct this. Another amendment by Mr. Atkinson pro- vides that nothin; herein contained shall be construed as makin; a grant or confirmation to the said company of any land now the property of the United States. This amendment is pro- posed to mcet the objection which bas been ‘urged against the first section of the bill that it grants or confirms to the railroad the use of six small reservations, the property of the United States, which the side tracks now ille- gally traverse and occupy. Other amendments that have been offered are one by Mr. Moore referring the whole question to a commission, one by Mr. Lind | making it the duty of the road in consideration of the privileges conferred to carry persons free of charge between points in the District and one by Mr. Baker recommitting the Dill, | with instructions to provide for the removal of the passenger station and for depressing all tracks where practicable, or for overhead passageways, PUBLIC OPINION. The public condemnation of the Atkinson bill as it now stands, surrendering to the rail- road the rights of the people to their property and to life and limb, has been expressed with emphasis by tho thousands of petitions that have come from people residing in all parts of the city and of all conditions of lite, who have taken advantage of the opportunity afforded them by THe Star to make heard their voices in protest against the bill, THE BILL AS IT STANDS IN THE SENATE, The Senate committee on the District only made two amendments to the original Atkin- son bill before reporting it. One confines the ground in which the Commissioners are au- thorized to grant permission for side tracks to east of 6th street aud west of 12th street south- west. Another confines the ground within which the road is authorized to acquire prop- erty to south of the line of the road, north of 1 L street, east of Delaware avenue, north of the | Eastern branch, south of K street, southeast | and cast of 13th street southeast; also any | squares on Maryland or Virginia avenue east of 6th street and west of 12th street southwest, BAILROADED STREETS AND AVENUES. The grievances due to the railroad occupa- tion of streets that the people of Washington | have borne are heavy. The opposition to the Atkinson Dill as it stands is due not to any effort or desire to deprive the railroad compa- | nies entering the District of facilities for trans- acting their growing business, In fact, the measures proposed by those who oppose thia bill mako liberal provision for tracks, freight yards and depot sites, ‘Tho opposition comes fram the belief that unless at this time, when the railroad asks Congress for legislation in the interest of the railroad only, some provision is made for the protection of life at grade crossings, for relieving travel through the streets of the obstructions it now suffers, and for preserving the beauty of the city, the evils complained of will never be remedied. | Some of the tinest strects and avenucs of the city are now practically completely occupied by the tracks, ‘Their beauty is ruined ahd they | @re rendered useless for loug distances ax thor- cughtaten, A typical case is shown in the view of Maryland avenue fronting the Capitol, rep- resented in the accompanying cut. ‘The rail- | road has taken possession of the street for | Many squares, and the vista presented from a point about 9th street might easily give a ranger the impression that it is only a ques- tion of time when the satirical proposition that the Capitol building be given up to the rail- | roads usa passenger station may be made in ' serious earnest. BAILIFF KENDIG’S HARD LU Hungry Prisoners in the Police Court Devour His Lunches. Bailiff Sam Kendig of tho Police Court is an unfortunate man. He has an enormous appe- tite and his lunch basket cannot be hid ina small space. At the Police Court there are no private lunch cupboards for the officials and the bailiff drops his lunch anywhere around, but it does not rest long, for he generally hunts it up no. later than 10 o'clock. Last winter his boarding house mistress prepared him an ex- cellent lunch of turkey, mince pie, &c., and before he got an opportunity to eat it one of the prisoners picked it up and gorged himself, ‘The prisoner was charged with the larceny of the lunch, but the kind-hearted bailiff de- clined to prosecute him, as he thought that tho man needed the food more than he did, althéugh he was hungry. ‘Today the bailif’s lunch disappeared again, but he caught the female prisoucr who had ap- proiated it before she had devoured a piece of cake, and that morsel saved from the wreck was all the bailiff hud for lunch. It was a col- ored woman who enjoyed the lunch this time, When she reached court she was very lame, a saying she had broken her leg Bailiff Kendig picked her up aud tenderly carried her to the | most comfortable place he could tind for her, That was near where he had left his lunch, and she had not been there long before the bailiff caught her enjoying two sandwiches of potted tongue and ham-—but he saved his pieco of cake, ni aang Population Returns.
