AND ITS PROPOSED EXTENSIONS. ‘The East Washington Citizens’ Association spent a busy evening Monday in discussing @ number of matters‘of public interest. The As- sociation met at 326 Pennsylvania avenue south- east, with President Dawson in the chair. Be- fore adjournment the gathering had given attention to the new assessment law, the street schedule and the street railway situation. The new assessment law was discussed in a report ‘on the proposed act by MI. Weller. The report attacked especially the section which provided that the assessors mentioned in the bill drawn up by the Commissioners should make their assessments from an actual view of the property. Mr. Weller was of the m that it would be a physical iny lity for the assessors, how- ever they might be with the attributes of Hercules, to get around and personally look at every piece of property and attend to any- thing else. ‘THE BILL A CRUDE AFFAIR. ‘The Dill itself, said Mr. Weller, was a crade affair and should not be passed in its present form. The Commissioners had reported the Dill favorably, said Mr. Weller, but the Fast Washington Association, as well as other bodies of citizens, had asked for a hearing before the House District committee on the bill. At this bearing it was thought the imperfections of the measure could be so pointed ou$ that radical amendments would be obtained. A NEW BILL DISCUSSED. A discussion followed on the advisability of ‘the association's drawing up and submitting a new bill on the question of assessments. Mr. Weller was of opinion that as the bill submitted by the Commissioners was satisfactory in a number of particulars the association could ob- tain sufficient amendments by aprearing before the House committee. A new bill would com- phcate the matter and cause delay and time was of the greatest importance at present, as it was absolutely necessary that ina very short time @ new assessment law should be made or pro- Yisions made for an assessment under the old low. AN AMENDED BILL FAVORED. Mr. Babson held that the association should draw up an amended bill containing the good points of the new bill and such additions and el as the association favored. Such a bill, said, would contain the views of the amociation in a nutshell and would save time in saving explanations. Finally further time was granted the com- mittee on the matter. STREET IMPROVEMENTS DISCUSSED. ‘The committee on street improvements through Mr. Weller rendered a report in which attention was called to the cutting down of the estimates for the eastern section from $200,000 to $61,000 in the present appropriation bil. ‘The section. he ail, had always been neg- lected and this bill was no exception. ‘THE QUESTION OF RAILWAYS. ‘The discussion of streets bronght up the question of street railways, and Mr. Lehman for the railroad committee rendered a report. He had appeared in the interest of the asso- ciation at a heari ven by the Commission- ers on the proposed East and West Washington Traction Company. Both Mr. Weller and him- self had urged upon the Commissioners the advisability of the passage of this bill. Other yple at the hearing had spoken against the ill. It was imposible to say what would be done. TBE PROPOSED EXTENSION OF THE WASHIXGTON AND GEORGETOWN RAILROAD. ‘Mr. Weller at this point said he was one of the committee appointed to induce the Wash- ington and Georgetown road to extend their trucks out Pennsylvania avenue to the new bridge. The committee had urged this action on the road and a bill had been introduced providing for such an extension. The Com- missioners had reported adversely on the ex- tension Dill, on the ground that as Washington and Georgetown road already had a big slice of the earth the new road which was asking a charter should be granted this territory. This report threw somewhat of a damper on the movement, said Mr. Weller, but since then the incorporators of ‘the proposed new road have expressed their entire concurrence in the extension of the W: m and Georgetown line out Pennsyl- vania avenue. Three years ago, Mr. Weller said, Mr. Hurt had written him a letter in which he agreed to extend the line out Penn- sylvania avenue. Lately, when Mr. Hurt's attention had been called to this promise, he eaplained that the letter had reference to horse way and not to cable. A short time ago be in urged the extension on Mr. Hurt and Mr. Hurt had replied that there was noth- ing the company would love to do more, but at present they were afraid to ask anything from Congress for fear that the plant would be saddled with injurious conditions. Mr. Weller continued that he had accepted this explanation, but was greatly surprised @ few days later to see the road urging on Con- gress 8 bill which granted them radical advan- tages. He appeared before the Commissioners in the matter and urged that no farther sdvan- tages ‘ashington and Geor, town road without proportionate favors to the city. Since 1864 no extension had been made in East Washington and today 30,000 people ‘east of 8th street were totally unsupplied with ‘TO OPPOSE ANY OTHER EXTENSION. On motion of Mr. Babson @ resolution was adopted by which the citizens’ committee was instructed to oppose any bill granting exten- sion to the Washington and Georgetown road unless it also provided for an extension out Pennsylvania avenue east. ‘association Seagrass A DENTAL CONGRESS.

An Ex-Chief of Scouts Who Believes the Sioux Were Ready to Surrender. “I would like to ask,” said Frank P. Bennett, an old Indian fighter and chief of scouts, toa Star reporter today, “is it netural to suppose for one moment that 120 Indians would allow themselves to be surrounded by 500 troops? If they anticipated fighting, I say no. I was born in the Sioux country and served fora good many years in the west a scout, guide and chief of scouts under Gens. Crook, Forsyth, Hatch, McKenney and other frontier com- ready. manders, and in all my service I never heard or saw Indians place themselves in such a posi- tion. Ifthey anticipated fighting I ask would they place themselves at that disdvantage? The “Indians are by nature suspicious of the hit and often with ‘good cause, I think. If it is investigated the fight on Wounded Knee will be found to have been entirely unwar- ranted and unnecessary on our part, and brought about by bad management on the part of our officers in charge and to have caused the loss of good many lives, both Indians and whites unnecessarily. From my knowledge of Indian operations I believe the Indiafis ex- pected tosurrender,and proved that by placing themselves at the mercy of the troops ae they did. In_ allowing themselves to surrounded the odds were too great for them to have hoped to be successful. In my estimation the fighting was not ex- ted by the Indians or they would have fought with the advantage which is to be ined by position. Any one who knows In- ian are they want the advantage or they don’t want to fight. It will be a protracted war if prompt action is not taken, for the In- dians have lost confidence in the troops and agents and will be apt to fight hard before they will trust themselves in the hands of the whites in. If they hold off until spring opens n we will have an all” summer war in the territories. In my opinion the military should act promptly and crush the rebellion before ‘Tass comes.” Specie Payments in Uruguay. ‘A dispatch from Motevideo says that the Uruguayan government has issued a decree an- nouncing that the National Bank will on Jan- wary 8commence redeeming the paper cur- rency of the republic, paying gold therefor, and that the bank will bod a tha geese af redemption by July 1.

He is displeased because he was not appointed head of the new _ colonial departmeni. catalan po Po ana Deepening the Hudson River, ‘Manager Manning, in the opening before the United States commission at the hearing yester- day afternoon in Albany on deepening the chan- nel of the Hudson river, said that in the allot- ment of federal appropriations discriminations have been made during many years against the Hudson's claim to ition despite the fact that the commerce of the Hudson is more than three times that of the Mississippi and more than that of the Mississippi, Ohio and Missouri rivers combined. Over $13,500,000 were ex- \ded upon these rivers within a period from Tete to 1862, while within the same period only $145,000 was spent upon the Hudson. Receiver for the Atlantic und Danville.
