Quebec was Gay With Lights and Uni- forms Last Night. throng was greater and the scene more brilliant at last night's vice- regal bail at the citadel than on the occasion of any former entertainment given there, not even excepting those given by the Princess Louise and the Marquis of Lorne. Upward of 1,100 cards of invitation were issued, and it is estimated that over 800 guests accepted the in- vitation. There was no formal reception and no qnadrille d’bonneir at the opening of the ball, and thus their excellencies avoided the burn- ing question of precedence, which by reason of the extreme sensitiveucss of Canadian officials and of British and foreign magnates in Canada from admirals and lieutenant governors down to judges and consuls is so sharp a thorn in the tide of those who publicly entertain. Their excellencies waited until most of their guests hpd arrived and reached the bell room, when they entered with Prince George, the band anounncing their entrance by the playing or “God Save the Queen.” Prince —— wore the brilliant uniform of acaptain in the royal navy, the star and rib- bon of a knight of the Order of the Garter and the jubilee medal. Supper was announced at midnight and was a very elaborate and sub- stantial repast. It was served in the vice-regal dining room below the ball room. Prince George conducted Lady Stanley to the supper room. —+-—— MYSTERY’S CHARM DISPELLED. A New York Safe Robb-ry Not Only Explained, but the Money Recovered. Naw Yorx, Sept. 19.—The sensational hotel safe robbery is no longer a mystery. The thieves have been arrested and the money, or at least almost ail of it, has been recovered. Atabout 9 o'clock last night two employes, whose names are unknown to the Hotel Ven- dome’s proprietor, were arrested by Dotective Sheldon and taken to poliee headquarters. A search of the rooms occupied by the thieves resulted in the recovery of the booty, and Pro- prietor Plant and Book Makers Carlan and Saunders are again happy. The manner in which the robbery was partly explained last night is this: Que of the men arrested, it is said, answered the bell of Book Maker Carian’s room one evening when Carlan and Saunders were counting their mongy. He also saw the box and anew it was placed in the office safe. The hall boys have access to the office, the door of which is generally open. On Monday meee when the excitement over the loss of a do; belonging to Mrs. Helen Dauvray Ward cause Clerk Whiteman to run to the Broadway door, one of the men, it is supposed, slipped into the office and took the box from the safe. He quickly passed it to his accomplice, who secreted it. It is believed that they divided the money Monday, but put it in one roll again whon they believed they were suspected. At all events it is known that the bulk of the money never left the hotel. The bell boys, Oscar Matthews and Henry Cassen, have con- fessed. During the excitement caused by the loss of Helen Dauvray’s dog the clerk placed the box on the counter. One of the beil boys took it, handed it over to the other, aud together they broke it open with a chisel and threw the empty box away. — FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market.

One bill is to provide the assessor of the Dis- trict with piata of the subdivisions in the Dis- trict outside of the city limits, Another bill also favorably reported is for the relief of Sarah Jane Fowler, the widow of Fowler, the policeman, who was killed while in the discharge of his duty. To PREVEXT THE SPREAD OF SCARLET FEVER AND DIPETHERIA, Another bill reported is to prevent the spread of scarlet fever and diphtheria in the District of Columbia. The bill makes it the duty of every sician or other mm pre- scribing for fs ree in the District to ea report to the henit?. office on becoming aware of any case of scarlet fever or diphtheria.

After convalescing the patient is not to at- tend any school of any sort without a certifi- cate of recovery from the attending physician, and violation is to be punished as before pro- vided. Any person making a false report is subject to a similar fine. This bill has passed the Senate, DEADLY OR DANGEROUS WEAPONS, Another bill reported favorably is to punish the carrying or selling of deadly or dangerous weapons within the District of Columbia. The bili provides that it shull not be lawful for any person to bave concealed about their person any deadly or dangerous weapons, sach as dag- ers, air guns, pistols, bowie knives, dirk or dirks, blackjscks, razors, razor blades, sword canes, slungshots, brass or other metal knuckles.

Convic- tion for the first offense is to be punished by a fine of from 82 to $200 or im- risonment not exceeding six months or both. ficials of the United States or the District in the discharge of their dutyare exempted. The bill furthor provides that nothing con- tained in the first or second sectious shall be construed as to prevent any per- son from may ca! or carrying about his place of business, dwelli: house or premises any such dangerous or deadly weapon, or from car- rying the same from place of purchase to his welling house or place of business or from his dwelling house or place of business to any place where repairing is done, to have the same repaired, and back again.

RATE OF INTEREST ON BACK TAXES. The committee also reported a joint resolu- tion providing that the provisions of the act approved May 6, 1890, being “An act fixing the te of interest to be charged on arrearages of @enerai and special taxes now due the District of Columbia, if-paid within atime specified.” be re-enacted and extended to October 31, 1490. JONK DEALERS AND PAWNBROKERS, Mr. Grout has also favorably reported the bill relating to junk dealers or dealers in sec- ond-hand pefsonal property and pawnbrokers in the District. The bill provides that the act in regard to licenses, &c., be made to read: “Junk dealers and dealers in second-hand personal [pe me fe any kind or Semple shall pay to the Dis- trict of Columbia a license tax of $40 annually. Every person whose business it is to buy or seil old iron, rags, paper, second-hand clothing or any second-hand personal property of any kind or description whatsoever shail be subject to the provisions of this act and to all the laws and regulations now in force in the District of Columbia and to all the valid regu- lations which may hereafter be provided re- lating to junk dealers or dealers in second-band personal property. Provided, nevertheless, That no sale shall be made by junk dealers and dealers in second-hand per- sonal property in their possession until after the expiration of ten days after the purchase thereof or from and after the time at which re- port has been made to the major of police of such purchase, as provided by the Police regu- lations of the District of Columbia.” The bill also amends the recent act in regard to pawubrokers so as to read: ‘That no pawn- broker shall ask, demand or receive a greater rate of interest than 3 per centum per month on any loan secured by pledge of personal property, under penalty of $100 for every such offense, to be recovered for the use of the District of Columbia; provided, however, that where the loan is secured by the pledge of personal property requiring extra care to prevent pd during disuse a pawnbroker may charge suc’ reasonable sum for storing and taking care of the same as the Commissioners for the Dis- trict of Columbia may from time to time pre- scribe.” ‘MR. GROUT SAYS IN HIS REPORT, speaking of the pawnbroker clause: “A bill touching upon the business of pawnbrokers was passed by the last Congress which so re- stricted their business that all but one in the city engaged In that business discontinued it. The Coramiasioners say no responsible person will engage in it under the present law, the result of-which has been to drive the former pawn- brokers out of the business, and to supply a demand have become buyers and sellers. By this means they take undue advantage of cus- tomers, as the whole matter 18 in their hand} without supervision of police,” He also recommended a provision exempting dealers in second-hand books from the provi- sions of the act, COOK PARK IN GEORGETOWN. ‘The Senate this afternoon passed the Senate bill authorizing the Commissioners of i trict to annul and cancel the subdivision of art of square numbered 112, in Georgetown, nown as Cooke Park, made by A M.

RECOMMENDATIONS MADE TO THE ENGINEER COMMISSIONER—A PROPOSED DISTRICT EXHIBIT AT CHICAGO—ORADING AND RESURPACIXNG— CONDEMNATIONS FOR NEW ROADWATS, / Capt. Rossell is today preparing his esti- mates for the coming year for the work en- trusted to his care: Under the head of General expenses, which includes salaries and contingent expenses of the executive office, he recommends that no change be made in that paragraph in so far as it refers to persons under the engineer department, as the persons included in this paragraph are the Property clerk and those connected with his office. He states, however, that enough assist- ants should be provided the inspector of build- ings to take care of the District building. For contingent expenses of the engineer depart- ment he recommends an propriation of 5,000 and no change in the appropriation of the present vear for stables of the engincer de- partment. Referring to the assessor's office, he says that although it in no way comes under the engineer department, yet three clerke em- ployed by the special assessment division are aid on the temporary rol! out of the permit nd, which has been entrusted to the engincer department. He recommends that arrange- ments be made for these three clerks in the a assessment division at $1,200 per annum each, CHANGES IN THE ENGINEER'S OFFICE RECOM- MENDED. The following changes are recommended in the engineer's office: Computing enginoer's sal- ary, to be increased to $2,800; assistant super- intendent of parking. to be increased to 91,000, and the following to be added to the list: One general inspector of streets, $2.000, and one inspector of property. €1,450. These last two are employed at present and paid as temporary employes, and as their work re- quires their employment throughout the year itis a matter of importance that they should be placed on the permanent roll. Under the head of permit work the samo appropriation as last year is recommended, namely, $65,000, of which $35,000 is to be expended on sewers. For paving roadways under the permit system an appropriation of $50,000 is asked. THE STREET SCHEDULE, With reference to the improvement and re- pairs of streets and avenues in the city he recommends the following: 1. A proviso to be placed in the first para- graph as follows: “That when new sidewalks or curbing are laid on streets improved that one-half the total cost shall be assessed against the abutting (a beded under the same provisions as govern in the case of compulsory permit work.” And another paragraph as follows: “That in doing all work provided for in this bill under the engineer department the work be done by contract or by day's Iabor, as may in the opinion of the Engineer Commis- sioner be most advantageous and economical, the same to be certified on the vouchers when work is done by day’s labor.” GRADING AND RESURFACING. For grading streets, alleys and rdads under the 10,per cent fund an appropriation of $20,000 is estimated for. He asks for an appro- priation of $300,000 for resurfacing concreted pavements, and says that while this isa large increase over last year, that the streets needing resurfacing are old,’ having been laid many years ago, and are very much in need of resur- facing, as they cannot be put in proper cond tion by repairs, He calls attention to the im- portance of this estimate and requests the Com- missioners to be as liberal with it as possible, SURVEYS OF THY DISTRICT. For the completion of the surveys of the Dis- trict and the publishing of maps an appropria- tion of $20.000 is asked for. The last appro- priation bill provided for the completion of the survey, but as the sum allotted was required partially to be spent in putting up monuments for marking the lines for the extension of streets the amount was not enough to finish the survey and do this work. For the surveys on account of subdivisions of land $5,000 is asked. For the repairs to county roads an appropriation of $75,000 is estimated for. Under the head of repairs to strects, avenues and alleys an appropriation of $45,000 is asked for. CONDEMNATIONS, For condemuation of streets, roads and alleys $50,000 is recommended, with a proviso to be added that this money shall only be spent in connecting poenane of streets dedicated with those already in existence where the land has been subdivided and is in the hands of many small owners. In these cases he says it is impossible to carry out the extension of the city streets without condemning the property, MISCELLANEOUS EXPENDITURES. For the parking commission #25,000 is asked for. an increase of $7,000 over Inst year’s ap- propriation, which Capt, Rossell believes to be necessary on accountof the extension of the tree planting that has already been made and proposed during the coming year. For the harbor and river front @2,500 is recommended. For the ordinary care of bridges $5,300 is estimated for. For the construction and repair or bridges $25,000 is desired. A DISTRICT EXHIBIT AT CHICAGO, Capt. Rossell ends his estimate by submitting the following paragraph, which he strongly recommends for approv “In addition to the above I would receom- mend to the Commissioners that they ask for an appropriation to Prepare an exhibit from the District of Columbia for the exhibition to be held at Chicago. Inasmuch as the whole country provides its proportion of money to carry on the government and to beantify the District of Columbia I believe this to be a proper time to show to the public what has been done, how it has been done and what is proposed to be done inthe capital of their country, Imako no estimate on this as none can be made untilthe Commissioners decide whether they are willing to have an exhibit or not, and if they are willing how much of an exhibit they desire to make, It seems to me thata plaster model might be made showing many of the details, with models of the streets, of the sewers, of the school buildings and other ublic buildings, and also specimens showing The way in which schools aro carried on here, This is a matter that to mescems important and I lay it before the Commissioners for their consideration,” ene SEE Ee HOW CARTER WAS ASSAULTED. Policeman Riley on Trial in the Police Court. This afternoon in the Police Court the caso of Officer William Riley, charged with an as- sault on Walter Carter on the night of the 12th instant, was tried, Mr. Armes prosecuting and Messrs. F. P. Closs and J. A. Moss appearing for the defense. The defendant testified in his. own behalf that at ten minutes of 12 o'clock he was on his beat. When McIntosh hit Carter in front of the station he (defendant), who was standing at thé corner of E street, went to sec what the trouble was and said ‘o M2Intosh: “Hold on, Mack, don’t hit him any more.” Defendant denied that he struck Carter. Officer Haynes testified that Carter had ac- cused him of having held bim. “Where is McIntosh?” asked the court, “They say that he has gone west,” responded Mr. Closs, Mr. Armes said he was satisfied that Riley THE OTHER MAY. was not the man. Judge Miller said that if there was avother officer there and be did not interfero to pre- vent the brutal assault he (the court) would send him to jail for eleven months twenty- nine days, “It was @ special officer who was there,” said Officer Kimmell irene “I don't care whether he was a special or a | northeast, general officer,” said the court.

THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. The Senate Committee Fails to Get a It is Expected Gen. Crocker’s Successor Scenes in the House Quorum Today. MAXY PERSONS INTERESTED IN AXD OPPOSED TO THE WASHINGTON AND CUMBERLAND RAILROAD BILL WERE PRESENT—THEY HOLD INFORMAL CONFEREXCES, It was down on the Capitol progam that the Senate District committee hold a meeting to- day end in anticipation of that somewhat in- frequent event there was quite a crowd in the immediate vicinity of the committee room. It was a railroad day, co far as it went, but if re- sults are to be considered it wasn’t much of day for anything. When the hour of meeting— 10 o’clock—arrived there were but two Sena- tors im attendance—Messrs. Ingalls and Harris. That was but one Sens- tor to every eight people who seemed to be directly interested in the Dill to authorize the Washington and Cumberiand Railroad Company to extend its road into the District of Columbia, Principal among these, sometimes in the room, sometimes out in the corridor, was Senator Gorman, although Sena- tor Daniel was hardly less active. THE VARIOUS INTERESTS REPRESENTED. Every conceivable interest was on the ground and ready to argue as soon as the opportunity was apparent. Favoring the bill were Judge Jere Wilson and Col, Heury Kyd Douglas. Col. James G. Berrot was watchful in behalf of the canal generally, while the interests of the bond holders of 1844 were in the hands of A. G. Safford. The Norfolk and Western Kailway ete put its case in the hands of P. B. F. Sands, while whatever the Shenandoah Valley Company wanted said was voiced by Attorney Bullitt of Philadelphia. Ex-President of the Canal Stephen Gambrill was also in attendance. Looking out for the rights of Georgetown or of some of Georgetown’s citizens was Attorney McGowan, and he was supported by the real Presence of John A. Baker, J. G. Waters, Arthur B. Cropley, William Wheatley, A. Greenloes and 8. T. Brown. THE TWO COMMITTEEMEN PRESENT GIVE IT UP. Shortly before 11 o'clock Senator Harris tired of waiting for the quorum that would not come and departed. That left Senator Ingalls as the sole representative of the committee, and he, too, departed in a little while, It was evident that there would be no meeting, so the doors, previously closed, were opened and the waiting crowd was admitted. Then came Sena- tor Higgins, but he only stayed for a minute. PRIVATE CONFERENCES. The long table was covered with maps and ponderous volumes of revised and other statutes. These were being closely consulted by Senators Gorman and Daniel and gf the numerous legal lights, For nearly an bour these gentlemen held a private conference, Senator Gorman and Judge Wilson being ped much to themselves, while Senator aniel and Attorneys Bullitt and Sands oc- cupied each othe: ttention. Mr. Safford, being apparently without company, went home as soon as it was evident that a quorum could not be obtained. The rosult of the confer- ence was the suggestion of an amendment to the bill to give other railroad companies power torun over the tracks of the Washing- ton and Cumberland Company. UNDER THE DISTRICT STATUTES. The statement having been publicly made that Maryland statutes were being imported by the bill for,condemnation purposes, a STAR reported asked Judge Wilson whether that statement was correct. “It is not truo,” said the judge. “Somebody ft hold of the wrong bill and the result has ecn anatural misunderstanding, If you will read the bill you can see for yourself.” An examination of the bill revealed the fol- lowing proviso in section 1: ‘Provided, That in exercising the right of condemnation the said corporation shall proceed under the pro- visions of chapter 18 of the Revised Statutes of the District of Columbia relating to railroad companies, so far as the same may be applic- able thereto,” THR REPORT ON THE SEWER QUESTION. Mr. Grout today introduced a resolution pro- viding for the printing of 500 additional copies of the report of the board of sanitary enginecrs on the District of Columbia sewer system for the use of the Commissioners, This report, it will be remembered, was printod in full in Tae Srar. BILLS PASSED YESTERDAY. In the consideration given the calendar by the Senate yesterday two bills of local interest were passed. The first was a House bill which grants to the property owners of square east of square 643 the privilege of constructing, using and maintaining a railroad siding to avd into that square, connecting with the Baltimore and Potomac railroad at a point on Virginia avenue between the intersection of the siding into. square east of square 642 and the inter- section of the north siding into square west of square 695. ‘The other measure was the Senate bili to provide for the incorporation of trust, loan mortgage and certain other corporatious within the District of Columbia, There was considerable discussion over the bill and it was amended in one or two technical particu- lars, the most important of which was the added proviso which reads: “But no such asso- ciation shall hold the possession of any real estate under foreclosure of mortgage or the title and possession of any real estate pur- chased to secure any debt due to it for a longer period than five years.” THE TARIFF BILL, Expected That the Tariff Conferees Will Report It to the House Tuesday. The conference on the tariff bill this morn- ing did not touch upon matters of public in- terest, but the proceedings were confined to action of pro forma amendments or those in- involving no pronounced differences of opinion. Sugar, binding twine and the tariff commission clauses were not touched. It is the understanding of the democratic conferees, as stated by one of them today, that the daily sessions of the conference are to be purely formal, and that the points of real im- portance at issue are to be brought forward only after the republican managors have ad- justed their differences among themselves and are ready to have the results attained ratified by the full con- ference. Meanwhile, although formal or inconsequential amendments only are being acted upon, the result is substantial prozress as these matters must be disposed of sooiier or later before a report can be made, and time is saved by disposing of them now. THE METAL SCHEDULE A STUMBLING BLOCK. It is said that the metal schedule is really the principal obstacle to an agreement by the republican conferees, The Senate conferees have expressed a determination not to recede from the amendments made in the Scen- ate to that schedule, chiefly in the way of lowering duties, and = the House conferees are said to be insisting ona restoration of the duties in the bill as it passed the House, inasmuch as on most other matters of importance they havo yielded to the de- mands of the Senate. It is said that the sugar schedule has been agreed to by the republi- cans, but formal action is withheld until other matters of difference are compromised. THE BILL MAY BE REPORTED TUESDAY. The general belief is now that the conferees will hold their final session on Monday and that the bill will be ri to present to the louse Tuesday morning. that is done ad- urnment will follow on the succeeding Mon- Real Estate Matters.

At three o'clock yesterday afternoon the case of Chas, Thompson, attorney for the Louisiana lottery company, charged with violating the Jaw in reference to lotteries was taken up in the Police Court, Judge Miller.

On the ith instant a boy (John Nash) called for the letters in box D, but was not at first allowed to take them. Afterwards he got them. In reply to the letters so sent answers were received at the Baltimore office and forwarded to witness by the Baltimore postmaster. One of these was addressed to Henry Williams, 105 south Calvert street, Baltimore, Mr, Wileon asked and learned that Williams was a mythical person, and made the point that the law contempiated bona fide transactions, and that the proceeding was a fraud. Mr. King continued his testimony, saying that Finlayson & Canova and Mrs, Josephine Oswald Thayer—names signed to the other letters—were also myths. In each of the letters icket ard circular. To the court witness said that Mr, Thompson claimed the letters in biun D, under power of attorney dated July 7 last. Redirect:—Kuew the boy Nash; saw him take the letters from the box and carry them to 1331 F street. THOMPSON'S POWER OF ATTORNEY. Col. J. W. Ross stated that Mr. Thompson filed with him a power of attorney to receive all mail addressed M. A. Dauphin, Louisiana State Lottery Company and to No. 607 7th street northwest. Mr. King said from his personal knowledge the letters addressed to Dauphin or the lottery company varied from 45 to 600 per day. Post Office Inspector Arrington testified that he was watching the box on the lith instant; saw a boy about to take the mail, stopped him, and asked what authority he had for getting it; but he produced none, and told him he could not get it, he left; bad seen him get the mail once before; some weeks ago. On cross-examination witness said he doubted the authority of the boy and for whom he was getting the mail, He was working under Mr. King’s orders. Mr. Bergman, assistant superintendent of the city post office. testified that he knew of the mail being refused to John Nash on the Lith instant, and that Mr. Thompson came to inquire about it and questioned them as to their authority for refusing to deliver it to Nash, who was his messenger. Witness did not know that Mr. Thompson took the mail, TESTIMONY OF THE MESSENGER BOY NASH. Jobn Nash,a boy of thirteen or fourteen years, testified that he was employed by Mr. Thompson in getting the mail. After being stopped from getting the mail he got it the Next morning and wrapped it up, when an ex- pressman came and gotit. He carried the mail to Mr. Thompson's office usually and sometimes he (Thompson) looked at it, but Mr. Thompsou never took it. He would take the mail from the satchel and wrap it up, and an expressman would get it. Mr. Thompson told him to get the mail and the expressman wrapped it up. It was in the back (bath) room where he left it, Tom Williams was the expressman and he came in from half an bour to an hour after- wards and took them. Witness said ho put no address on the bundle, which was sometimes six inches thick and sometimes twelve inches. On cross-examination witness said he was sure Mr. Thompson did not touch the mail that day, The letters were never opened there. Ke-direct—When Mr. Arrington refused to allow him tu take the mail he reported it to Mr. Thompson, who said it was all right, but he should go for the mail in the morning. At this point the hearing was adjourned and the question came up—this being a case for the grand jury—as to Mr. Thompson's custody pending the hearing. The court suggested that he might waive examination and when the hearing is resumed move to strike out the waiver. ‘Chis suggestion was adopted and Mr. Thompson left the court room with his counsel. THE NEARING RESUMED THIS AFTERNOON. When the case of Attorney Charles Thomp- son. charged with violating the lottery and postal laws, was called in the Police Court this afternoon, Mr. A. B. Williams moved the court to strike out the waiver and his motion was granted. POSTMASTER ROSS A WITNESS. Postmaster Ross wae then called as a witness and he told of an interview between Thompson and himself concerning the former's mail. He had no personal knowledge of the defendant's connection with the Louisiana Lottery Com- any. Pe Thompson, witness said, had told him that he (Thompson) represented Mr. Dauphin. Witness started to tell what his impressions of Mr. Thompson's interviews were, but counsel objected, “What was the character of the mail matter deposited in that box?” asked Mr. Armes, “It was generally understood to be the lot- tery mail,” he replied, “but I have no personal knowledge of that.” Witness read a part of the circular, which gave instructions for letters to be addressed to “M. A. Dauphin, Weshington, D.C.” On cross-examination witness said that the post office box was rented by Mr. Thompson, After the mail was stopped the defendant pro- cured a power of attorney from Mr. Dauphin and it was accepted By the department. The mail was then delivered to the defendant, SUPERINTENDENT BELL SWORN, Superintendent James E. Bell of the city de- livery department of the city post office was | 0 next called and he testified that Mr. Thompson came to see hin abont the mail and he delivered to Mr. Thompson's driver two large bags of mail matter.
