Farwell of this city writes the following letter to the Inter-Ocean from Waukesha, Wis.: “I seo a good deal said in the papers about the tight- ness in the money market and that Secretary Windom hasbeen called upon to relieve it. The finances of the country can never be in a healthy condition when it is required that the Secretary of the Treasury shall be asked to step in and relieve a stringency which criodically occurs. No one man should have itin his power to make money either cheap mment i collecting it so that, last’ «Treasury state- ment, there is now locked up @ the various subtreasuries of the country $1( #§ 00,000 over and above the liabilities of the™government. The total amount held in the various sub- treasuries is something over 700,000,000, and the government holds as security for this vast sum of money the bonds of the respective sub- treasurers signed by their friends for about one-fortieth of this amount. Now, if these subtreasuries could be wholly abolished and money deposited in the national banks, with adequate security taken for the whole amoust, instead of one-fortieth, which is given by those who now this money, Mr. Windom would not be reguired to go into Wall stroet to regulate the finances. The money would be safer than it now is, and 2500,000 of money per annum would be saved by the abolition of this system. There never was apy good reason for the es- tablishment of the subtreasury system, and it ought to be forthwith repealed.” ee BANQUETED OFFICERS. Hospitalities Passing Between the Civil and Military Dignitaries. Srocknoim, Sept. 16.—A dinner was given last night by the people of Stockholm to the officers attached to the United States steamer Baltimore, which conveyed the body of the distinguished inventor, John Ericsson, from the United States to this country. Two hun- dred guests, including the minister of state, military and naval officers and leading civil- ians were present. Count Lewenhaupt, minis- ter of foreign affairs, presided. Mr. Thomas, the American minister, sat on his right and Capt, Schley of the Baltimore upon his left hand. Count Lewenbaupt gave a toast to the President of the United States and dilated upon the unbroken harmony that hus existed between the United States and Sweden, Minister Thomas responded to the toast and in return gave a toastto King Oscar, Vice Admiral Virgin then proposed the health of the officers of the Baltimore, to which Capt. Schley onded, thanking the admiral for his courtesy and the city of Stockholm for its hospitality. a NEW YORK’S VOICE. The Chamber of Commerce Urges Postponement of the Bonded Limit. New York, Sept. 16.—At a special meeting of the chamber of commerce, held this after- noon, the following preamble and resolution, offered by J. Edward Simons and seconded by Cornelius N. Bliss. wore adopted: Whereas, it is provided in or by the so-called McKinley tariff bill that the time for removin, the xoods now in bond shall not extend beyon the Ist of November next; and Whereas, the limited time allowed for such removai would cause an unusual demand for money from importers and thereby increase the present stringency of the money market at a tine when all the currency is needed for crop-moving purpose: Resolved, That it ber that it would be greatly for the benefit of the entire commercial business interests of the country that the time for removing goods now in bond be extended to February 1, 1891, and this chamber urgently requests that the bill be so amended. Mr. Bliss, in seconding the resolutions, said that there was no doubt that the Secretary of the Treasury was in favor of the amendment suggested, and that what they were asking for hed in fact been volunteered. He was certain that the bill would be amended to meet the wishes of the New York merchants. On motion of Frederick A, Conklin, it was decided to send a copy of the resolutions to President Harrison, the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representa- tives. ——_.__—_ COMING DEMOCRATS, Congressman Wilcox Makes Predictions for This Fall’s Campaign. Hanrrorp, Coxs., Sept. 16.—The five hun- dred and two delegates to the state democratic convention nearly filled the lower floor of Allyn Hall. State Committee Chairman Clinton B. Davis called the convention to order at 11:20 a.m. Secretary Swartwout read the call. The chairman called Congressman W. F. Wilcox to actas temporary chairman. Mr. Wilcox on being introduced said he was giad to he called to preside over the con- ventio? of @ party to which he was proud to belong. Six years ago this party selected ag its candidate for President one of the purest ang ablest men that ever occupied the White House—Grover Cleveland. his mention of Mr. Cleveland's name called forth great applause. The speaker continued to speak in eulogistic terms of the ex- emdent and was frequently —_ inter- rupted by applause, which was particularly vigorous when his tariff policy was referred to, Though defeated, be said, he is not dishonored, and the people look to him as their champion and leader, Further on in his speech Mr. Wilcox said no one but President Harrison could have made the Hayes administration respectable. He closed by predicting demo- crati¢ success in Connecticut this fall. Sa a From Wall Street Today.

SPORT AT BENNINGS. Kiralfy’s Elephant Makes Her First] Program and Entries for the Two Appearance on the Stage. Though the play went on last night one member of the Kiralfy Company did not make an appearance. This was the heavy Comedian of the troupe. He weighs four tons anda half and was especially engaged to ap- pear in the Performance of “Around the World in Eighty Days.” Her name is ‘‘Mazuck” and she came from India. She is @ nice looking elephant about 8 feet high, with e beautiful curl in her trank and her ivory tusks sawed off a httle below the under lip. She gothere today after along journey from India, She was shi; from iburg to New York on the Ham! line and started by rail from New York to Washington. SIDE-TRACKED. It was hoped Mazuck would be here in time for the initial performance last night, but she got side-tracked in Wilmington. Then it was thought to apply some of Phineas Fogg’s (gto to the case and hire a special train for her, but ® con- sultation of railroad schedules showed that she could not get here before 9:30 o'clock and she was due onthe stage at 9:20. Soa part of the scene hadto be cutout and Phineas Fogg went around the world without the aid When tuck reached town this oop, Manager Kiralfy was delighted. Mazuck an her keeper started at once from the railroad station to Albaugh’s Opera House, so that Mazuck could have a brief rehoarsal, as to- night's performance will be her first appear- ance on tho stage. ON PENNSYLVANIA AVEXUE. On the way up Pennsylvania avenue Mazuck attracted much attention. Pedestrians stopped to look at her and the small boys formed a procession @ safo distance in her rear. Man- ager Kiralfy bought five dozen bananas on the way andfed them to his new and favorite star. He tried to buy out the whole stock of bananas at one corner stand, but the dealer refused because he did not want to go out of business. Theaters are not built for elephante, 80 there was something of a problem as to how to ft this huge creaturo through the house and on the stage. The stage door and the winding stairs from the strect to the stage were entirely too narrow for the passage of so much histrionic talent ina lump. The only alterna- tive was that the elephant should enter the theater by the main door. TAKEN THROUGH THE MAIN DOOR, So Mazuck walked up the wide stono steps outside without halting once and disappeared in the lobby of the theater. Here the proces- sion of small boys .» ted with her. Mazuck walked up the stair: te the foyer, and passing through the doors was ushered down the center aisle throu.vh the orchestra, There was ® company of actors, stage carpen- ters and others on hand to welcome the new member ofthe troupe. Some heavy timbers were procured and an inclined way built for Mazuck to walk up from the center aisle to the stage, This inclined way d right over the spot where the leader of the orchestra sita, GOING ON THE STAGE. Mazuck waited patiently in the aisle until this bridge was erected, occasionally showing a disposition to take an orchestra seat, which, however, her keeper prevented. At last the bridge was ready and she walked slowly and carefully ae When she was fairly landed on the stage the actors, who had been admiring her nerve and intelligence, applauded. On the stage she was led about for awhile among the pieces of railroad trains, steamboats, sections of sky and other fragments of scenery and ‘‘properties” of the play. STAGE FRIGHT. When the time came to take Mazuck off the stage she was led again to the footlights and her keeper was about to descend with her the inclined plane to the center aisle, She had her fore feet on the bridge. Cravh! The rear of the elephant suddenly sank almost out of sight. One of her big forelegs hung helplessly over the footlights. Her trunk was in the air and she bellowed loudly. It wasa bad case of stage fright. The actors and otbers around fled to the wings and up in the galle- ries. An accident had happened. Mazuck had stepped with all ner weight upon the little trap door through which the prompter sticks up his head. The trap sprung under the weight anda good portion of Mazuck disappeared under the stage. She could not disappear entirely because the hole was not her size. Tne keeper stood by her and Mazuck be- haved admirably. She got her fore feet planted firmly on the timbers in front and then radually drew up into sight the leg that had Siseppeared. She wee backed upon the stage again and carpenters hastily repaired the damage. Then Mazuck walked calmly down without accident and the actors reap- peared from their hiding places und told stories about the horrible things enraged elephants had been known to do. Mazuck was then taken from the theater to her stables, Manager Kiralfy told a Stan reporter that in her home in India Mazuck had been used at receptions of great personages and in cere- monies on account of her intelligence and kindness. During the recent visit of the young Prince of Wales to India, he said, Mazuck had the honor of being ridden by the prince, ——_--— ALLEYS AND THEIR USES. The Commissioners Suggest Amend- ments to the Allcy BIL Ataboard meeting thie afternoon the fol- lowing letter was agreed upon and forwarded to Congress as an expression of the views of the Commissioners on House bill 11881 to regu- late the building of houses in alleys: The bill being of great public importance the Commissioners heard citizens on both sides who were interested in the matter. We have concluded that the object of the bill, wita one or two alterations hereafter mentioned, is a done. It was the intention no doubt when the alleys in the city were origin- ally laid out that thatthey should be for the accommodation of the front improvements in removing garbage, ashes, &c., or receiving coal, wood or other bulky supplies, as well as for the erection of stables for horses and carringes. But as property became more valuable with the increase of population the temptation to build small houses in the alleys for rent, as well as to ac- commodate people with small incomes, grad- ually overcame the original purpose, and now a large speculation of the kind is in existence. This new condition, no doubt, has called at- tention to the subject. It is of great importance to every large cit that all the bes: possible conditions of healt! shall be maintained, One of the most danger- ous is that of overcrowding and too close con- tact. To meet this danger sufficient open spaces for light, ventilation and the convenient operation of fire apparutus, garbage carte, sweeping machines andthe other e EsaEee erp! for health und safety shouid be pro- vide On the moral side of the question it is pro- verbial that alleys are the favorite spots for drunken brawls and murderous assaults, and the wider they are the better can police veillance Be afforded, We have had some doubt on the question of width, whether it should be n limit of 30 or 49 feet, buthave concluded it should be 80, We commend an additional provision that “in no case shall a house or houses built in any alley in the District be built over two stories high above the basement,- and that the basement story shall not exceed two feet above the level of the alley.” And that the words “out into,” lines 9 and 10, be stricken out and the word into inserted. With these changes we heartily and earnestly approve the bill, +. Something Good for the Feet. F street is developing rapidly asa business street. Among the latest and most notable ad- ditions to the business houses of the street is a handsome store, No. 929, in which is located a branch of the Baltimore house of Wilson & Carr, the well known dealers in and facturers of fino boots und shoes, gee Fs ing asan exhibite of what akilifal ers, do.

ANNUAL MEET OF THE HORSE BREEDERS’ ASsOCIA> TION OF MARYLAND AND THE DISTRICT OF CO- LUMBIA—SPRCIAL AND PLEASANT FEATURES OF ‘THIS MEETING. Tomorrow will be « brilliant day at Bon- nings, not only in a society way, but for lovers of fast horses, as the Trotting Horse Breeders’ Association of Maryland and the District of Co- lumbia begin their annual two-day meeting. This association, although only a baby in years, is far from @ baby in energy and life. The first meeting was held at Baltimore last year under great disad- vantages and yet proved a great success. This year at Bennings, if the weather does not prove bad, the meeting should prove s grand success. Mr. Benjamin White, the energetic secretary of the association, seems to have for seen and provided for everything which wi add to the pleasure and comfort of the big crowds whic! expected. Special trains will be run from the Pennsyl- vania station at 12:05 and 1 o'clock, returning after the races, At the track the fall Marine Band will be in attendance. The races will — Promptly at : — and an that ime un’ 16 close of gram the raci will be continual. ee eg ONE OF THE PLEASANT FEATURES OF THE MEETING will be the special advantages and attentions which will be shown ladies. Ladies will be admitted free both days, and taking into con- sideration the good character of the crowd which will be in attendance and the enpecial efforts at police protection, ladies will be perfectly safe in attending the meeting without escorts. Another feature will be the display each day of the stock owned by mem- bers of the association, which will be led beforo the stand in the intervals of tho racing. The ESS during the mecting will be Hon. Hart folton, John E. Phillips and A. J. Biedler, while the time will be watched by Judge Hayes and Col. Heywood. One of the most interesting races on the pro- gram is the mile dash for yearlings. It is a remarkable thing to see little colts only one = old puiling 150 pounds and trotting miles like old veterans, It is safe to say that some very good time will be made during the meet- ing.

In the divorce case of Mrs. Bell Renz against Mitchell Kenz tho respondent today, by Mr. Cordial Storrs, filed his answer, He states that their lawful residence is at Bridge- port, Putnam county, Florida; that they came here in July, 1889, expecting to retury in May, 1890, but a complication of business pursuits has prevented it; that he came here ut plaintiff's suggestion,relying on her statements that she was an artist and she could and would sup} the family till he was established in business and that in order to make it pleasant for her he purchased house 537 9th street north- ‘west and had the titls placed in petitioner's sister for her benefit. He denies that she had such an amount of prope: as stated—€100,- 000—and asserts that what has is worth but a few thousand dollars and be specifically de- nies the charges of bad treatment and to be discharged. ooo Real Estate Matters. AS TO AN EXTRA SESSION. A BOY LOSES AN ARM. What is Thought About the Matter at |Run Over by © Car on the Raltimore Railroad. the Capitol. ‘THE RANE AYP FILE DON'T TAKE KINDLY TO THE IDEA, BUT IF THE LEADERS CALL THEM TO- GETNER IX NOVEMBER THEY WILL HAVE TO COME—WHAT MR. M'KIXLEY AND MR. LODOE at. The proposition to have an extra session of Congress called for November does not meet with much favor among the rank and file of members of Congress weary with a ten months’ session. It is @ matter, however, in which the President and the party leaders are chiefly concerned and the rest will have to take things as they find them in November, It will be impossible to hold » quorum after the tariff bill is finally disposed of, and, a quorum being ab- sent, nothing can be done which the democrats seriously object to. There- fore the chance of passing the several measures it is the desire of the majority to act upon before adjournment will be prac- tically an impossibility, With these crowding inte the short session there will be LITTLE CHANCE FOR ACTION ON THE ELECTION BILL. At the conference held at Senator Teller's house when the laying aside of the election bill was decided on, it was determined, as then stated in Tas Stan, that the President should be asked to call Congress together after the November elections. Since then the matter has been talked about quietly, A recess might be regarded as better than an adjournment, but it would be difficult, in their present temper. to get the House to agree toarecess, If they aro called back in November they have no option. MB. M'KINLEY Says “ET DEPENDS.” Mr. McKinley said toa Stan reporter today that he had not heard any talk on the subject in the House. As tothe probability of a call, however, he said it would depend upon how far Congress at this searion went toward disposing of pending questions. He added, being questioned further. that he thought it likely that not muth would be done this session after the tariff bill was disposed of. MR. LODGE THINKS AN EXTRA SESSION LIKELY. Mr. Lodge said today that he thought it likely that the President would call an extra session, not only to consider the election bill, but other important matters that could not be disposed of at this Session, GENERAL GRANT’S REMAINS. Prospects of the Passage of the Reso- lution for Their Removal Discussed. The Plumb resolution providing for the re- moval of the remains of Gen, Grant from Riverside to Arlington has not as yet hada chance in the House, Yesterday was sus- pension day, and Mr. O'Neill was prayer- fully waiting an opportunity to call the resolution up. Mr. Enloe’s resolution, however, oceupied too much time and the op- portunity never came. This will probably be the last regular suspension day of the session. On account of impossibility of securing unan- imcus consent for the consideration of the resolution a suspension day is ® necessity for its adoption. Friends of the resolution, however. are not worrying about the suspension days running out, as the last few days of asession are invariably given up to suspension days, and Mr. O'Neill will un- doubtedly have an opportunity for the resolu- tion before the close of the session. ‘The chief and main opponent of the rosolu- tion is Mr. Quinn of New York. Mr. Quinn is an excellent friend of the District and it is not because he loves the District less but that he loves New York more, that he has been straining every nerve for the defeat of the pro) d removal. He said toa Star reporter y that he was almost sleeping in the House in order to prevent the calling up of the resolution. “The remova) of the remains,” said Mr. Quinn. “would be an outrage on New York and a desecration of the grave of a great man. I have been fighting the thing from the first and I shall fight it to the last, I have been making @ personal canvass of the House and am satis- ied that even if the resolution is called up it will be defeated.” Mr. Quinn 18 an energetic member and cer- tainly has been working hard among the mem- bers, but friends of the resolution thinks he bas greatly overestimated the strength of the opposition. About thirty-six is thought to be the number of votes which can be polled against the Proposal. — a DISTRICT GOVERN MENT. BIDS OPENED. Bids were opened by the Commissioners to- day for putting an additionalstory on the sixth precinct station house. The following con- tractors submitted bids: M. Hendricks, £4,700; Jas. R.

The Commissioners are receiving a great many communications from citizens through- out the city complaining of the caterpillars destroying the trees, The parking commission has been notified of the complaints upon the recommendation of Capt. Kossell and they will make @ report to the Commissioners on the subject at an early day. ‘TO BETTER THE SUPPLY. Capt. Lusk today ina letter to the Commis- sioners calls attention to the fact that there is considerable trouble if keeping up an adequate supply of water in the area between W street and Florida avenue and 15thand 15th streets, us this area is too high to be adequately sup- plied by gravity. He points out that the most feasible method of relieving the scarcity of water is to lay aline of six-inch pipe on W street between 15th and 16th streets. He rec- ommends that this be done as soon as the pipe and funds become availabie, TO PREVENT THE ASPHALT PAVEMENT FROM ROTTING. ‘The superintendent of streets recently re- quested permission of the Commissioners to lay a blind drain inside the parking around Judiciary Square and connected with the sewer to prevent water from injuring the concrete pavements on Sth between D and G streets northwest, Capt. Rossellin his indorsement upon the paper fully concurs in the views of the superintendent of streets, and says he re- gards it as an important thing to prevent the water from getting underneath the asphait pavement and rotting it, To FIGHT Fit. Fire hydrants will be erected in the foliow- ing localities: One on the east side of 2d street between E and F streets; one on south side of New York avenue between 6th and 7th north- west; one at alley west side of 6th between M and N; one at aliey south side of O street, oppo- site Henry School building; one at the north side of E street between 12th and 13th north- west; one atalley south side of O street be- tween 9th and 10th. TO WIDEN ANACOSTIA ROAD. The Commissioners recently received a peti- tion from Wm, Mayse and others, owners of real estate on the Anacostia road, praying. that the road be widened. Capt. Rossell has reco mended that arrangements be made for con- demning the additional width of Anacostia road, with the distinct understanding that the District will bear no part of the expenae, A NEW SEWER RECOMMENDED, ‘The post office inspectors munication with Chief of cerning the lottery sf F i j af : and Potomac Lawrence Phillips, « ten-year-old bey, whose Parents reside on 9th street southwest, met with @ serious accident this morning about 10 o'clock while attempting to steal a ride ona freight train on the Baltimore and Potomac railroad near Maryland avenue and 11tb street, In some way the little fellow fell from the train and his left arm was caught beneath the wheels. His hand was cut off and bis arm so badly lacerated that it will have to be ampo- tated near the elbow. The little sufferer was taken into Dr. Boarman’s office and was after- ward removed to Providence Hospital im the police ambulance, WERE TWO OF THEM IN IT? Carter, Beaten by Policeman McIntosh, Swears Out a Warrant for Officer Riley. Walter Carter, the colored man who was beaten by Policeman Wm. McIntosh Monday night,as published in Tux Stax, was worse today, although he was able to be out of the house, He did so, however, against the advice of his physician, Dr. Strickler of Capitol Hill, who te one of the police surgeons.
