CITY AND DISTRICT. _ @F Tur Evesrxo Stax is everywhere recog- nized and admitted to be, in every quality, the leading and favorite newspaper of the National Capital, alike in the counting-room, the work- shop, and the family circle. Pretty much everybody in the District reads it regularly. It is therefore much the best advertising medium in the city; and, in proportion to circulation, its ade-rtising rates are also much the cheapest. THE MATUKING DISTRICT BONDS. ‘Two Plans Proposed for Providing for Their Payment. A QUESTION CONGRESS WILL HAVE TO MEET BE- FORE ADJOURNMENT—THE CONDITION OF THE DISTRICT DEBT—TREASURER HUSTON FAVORS AN OUTRIGHT PAYMENT—A REFUNDING SCHEME. A matter of great interest to the District was referred to in the debate on the District appropriation bill last week. It raises a ques- tion which Congress will have to meet at once. ‘Aconsiderable amount of the debt of the District of Columbia falls due during this fiscal year and another large sum during 1392. There is no money to meet this debt, which is im the shape of bonds of various kinds, and some action by Congress before adjournment is & positive necessity. THE MATURING BONDS. On July 1, 1891, the following bonds are pay- able: Six per cent permanent improve- ment bonds - Seven per cent permanent improve- ment bonds €2,720,450 Making total of. Tt will thus be seen that in the next two $3,961,150 of the liabilities of the District will become payable. With what is this to be met? ‘TBE SINKING FUND. ‘There is the sinking fund, of course. In 1878 the control of the District sinking fund was turned over to the charge of the treasurer of the United States. The debt of the District at that time was £22,106,650. Since then there have deen issued two series of bonds, an issue of 3.65 funding loan bonds amounting to $945,950 and an imme of, 5, per cent fundin bonds amounting to $1,092,300, making a to! issue of $2,035,250. During the same period bonds have been retired, by the action of the sinking fund, amounting to 24,363,850, leaving the ontatanding debt of the District on June 1, 1890, $19.751,050. The debt since 1878 has therefore been decreased $2,325,600. ‘Of late years it has been the practice to ap- inte in each year’s appropriation bill for EXcbest on the ‘debt and sinking fund $1,- 213,447.01. ‘THE DEBT TO BE MET. ‘The operations of this sinking fund for the fiseal year ending June 30, 1891, will, sccording to the treasurer, reduce the amount payable at that time to $2,700,000 and the sinking fund for ji bonds due in that year will Pedust the amount ue to about 600,000. This leaves Congress and the District face to face with the problem of that- is best to be done with $3,200,000 worth of bonds falling due in 1891 and 1392. THE Two PLANS. ‘There are two plans which have been pro- posed, although neither has been discussed or looked into as yet by the District committee. 0 REFUND THE BONDS. One provides for the refunding of the bonds and Treasurer Huston has even submitted a bill to this effect, which provides for the issue of registered bonds bearing interest, payable semi-annually, not to exceed 4 per cent per an- mum. The bonds to be redeemable at pleasure after two years and payable ten years from Gate. ‘The proceeds of the bonds to be applied to the redemption of the bonds maturing in 1891 and 1892. Itisestimated that the sinking fund would TO SUCCEED MR. EVARTSi Governor Hill Selected by the Xew York York Democratic Caucus. Senator Linson, chairman of the joint caucus tion David B. Hill amid grest applause and cheering. He said: “Simultaneously with the news of victory, the great heart of the de- mocracy went forth in gratitude to the man who alone was responsible for this assemblage, and who for seven years has held ;New York in the democratic column of states, coupled with the demand that the empire state, so long mis- represented in the national Senate, should se- lect ag her representative her first and fore- most ler. it stone to higher honor, what democrat in tie broad tend bas Pineible democratic governor—David Bennet ig Senators Canter, McCarren, McNaughton and Assemblyman McClelian the nomination. Senator McCarren said: “It is not given to me to discuss his presidential aspiration. But I may say, if he has that ambition, it is an honorable one, and you may take any gauge you please by which candidates for that high office are named, and show me where he fails to meet the requirements.” ‘On the motion of Mr. Sheehan the nomina- tion was made by acclamation amid a great burst of handelapping, and the caucus ad- Journed. ‘A LONG CHERISHED DESIGN. When the governor recently announced his desire for the senatorship, noone was surprised. It had been expected that Mr. Hill intended to deprive Smith M. Weed of, the honor. Few Albany politicians, indeed, doubt that Mr. Hill decided to elect himself Senator upon election night last fall, as soon as he discerned that the democrats would have # majority upon joint daliot in the legislature. His violent in tion over Mr. Weed’s celebrated letter, in’ the latter had said that he had the promise of support as a candidate for Senator, was itself proof of the governor's design. LIEUT. GOV. JONES PLEASED. Lieut. Gov. Jones is pleased at the turn in affairs. In an interview Mr. Jones said: “I hope that Mr. Hill will serve out his term as gov- ernor and not compel me to take the place upon March 4. No man likes to be responsible for the administration of another. I doubt if Presi- dent Harrison will call a special session of the United States Senate on sh 4. I would not attend the special session if I were Gov. Hill. His resignation as governor would, of course, elevate me to the governorship and I should have to decide hastily upon a great mass of bills by the legislature. ‘That is a task 1 would not like to undertake. No; I'am a can- didate for governor and if I amelected I should prefer my term to begin in January next.” It is said that Gov. Hill may think it his per- sonal interest to resign the governorship and go to Washington upon March 4, if there should be a special session of the Senate. SENATOR EVARTS NOMINATED. The republican joint caucus was called to order in the senate chamber last evening. Mr. Husted was chosen chairman. Senator Fassett nominated William M. Evarts for United States Senator. The republican party by the kind of men it chose to honor, he said, could challenge comparison with any other party. Senator Sloan seconded the nomination of Mr. Evarts as a superiatively ideal candidate. Mr. Evarts was nominated unanimously, and the caucus adjourned. THE DISPUTE IX CONNECTICUT. Both houses of the Connecticut general as- sembly meet today and the crisis developed by the senate last week inaugurating the state offi- cers is likely to come to ahead. Gov. Bulkeley issued a proclamation yesterday which warns the persons who have taken office m advance of being declared elected by the general as- sembly to refrain from acting. The senate is democratic, and if an attempt is made there to oust Mr. Alsop, whom it has declared lieutenant governor, a scene may re- sult. Itwas intimated that’ Mr. Alsop might marposely be absent, leaving the senate's presi- Rent protem to occupy the chair. The house be well able to retire all of these bonds before maturity and meet at the same time the other outstanding bonds as they fail due. CONGRESS TO APPROPRIATE. The other plan is for Congress to appropri- ate the sum necessary to meet the bonds matur- ing in 1891 and 1892 as they fall due, the amount to be repaid from the inking fund in annual installments, paying 3 per centum per annum upon the principal sum remaining unpaid. ‘These are the two proposals. Either one would meet the dilemma, yet neither has been considered. One of these measures must be adopted or some other definite action taken by Congress before adjournment. What do our rulers at the Capitol and their advisers think about the matter? Very little. Onis few people have thought of thesituation at THE TREASURERS VIEWS. Treasurer Huston, who is ex-officto commis- sioner of the sinking fund of the District, thinks the emergency could best be met by the latter plan, appropriating the money outright and receiving’ it back in installments. He ap- proves of this plan on the score of economy and thinks the whole amount could be returned in six years. ‘MR. w'COMAS ON THE SUBJECT. Mr. McComas, the chairman of the subcom- mittee of the appropriations committee, in charge of the District appropriation bill, has thought of this matter and referred to it in speaking on the appropriation bill. Toa Stan reporter Mr. McComas said he considered the question of attending immediately to these ma- turing bonds as of the very greatest importance. ‘The matter was without the jurisdiction of the appropriations committee, as all that commit- tee could do was to provide properly for the interest and sinking fund according to the laws. ‘He understood, however, that the District com- mittee, under whose juristiction the matter fell, intended to report a bill containing either the refunding or deferred payment plan. This, he thought, should be done at once. In case the District committee failed to act. which he did not believe would happen, he should be in favor of adding, even contrary to rules, a pro- vision to the appropriation bill covering the question. Mr. McComas was in favor of re- funding the maturing bonds by issue of a new, low interest bearing bond. which he was con- fident would be readily taken up. THE DISTRICT COMMITTEE TO ACT. Mr. Grout said to the reporter that the Dis- trict committee had not as yet considered the question of the maturing bonds, but would un- doubtedly do so in a very short time and take action on the matter. He had not yet sufti- ciently studied the question to determine which plan of procedure he should favor. ‘The Pennsylvania Base Ball League. ‘The Pennsylvanis State Base Ball League was permannently organized yesterday afternoon in Harrisburg by the election of H. H. Diddle- dock of Philadelphia as president, secretary and treasurer. Altoona, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Reading, Lebanon and Williamsport were represented. Itis understood that Wilkesbarre and Scranton will be admitted. It was agreed that each club shall place @ guarantee of $500 to finish the season. _— War on Oyster Pirates. ‘The North Carolina legislature yesterday Passed a bill authorizing the governor to drive | pl oyster pirates out of North Carolina waters and be has telegraphed to Gov. Tillman of South Carolina asking the loan of cannon for the purpose. committee appointed to investigate the vote for state officers will probably report that it has not yet finished its work. At noon each house votes for United States Senator. The senate has ten democratic ma- jority, and the house as it stands has fourteen republican majority. The republicans unani- mously renominated O. H. Platt some time ago. CAUCUSES IN INDIANA. In the Indiana republican senatorial caucus last night resolutions were adopted indorsing the administration. Two ballots were taken on the nomination of the fandidate to receive the complimentary vote of party for Unit States Senator. "On the first ballot there was a tie between Gov. Hovey and Charles W. Fair- banks, with five votes scattering, one being for ex-Congressman Owen. one for Stanton J. Peelle and three for United States Treasurer | the Huston. On the second ballot Hovey received twenty-two votes and Fairbanks fourteen. Voorhees was nominated by the democrats without opposition to succeed himself. CHOICE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE DEMOCRATS. ‘The democratic senatorial caucus was held in New Hampshire last night. Hon. Harry Bing- bam of Littleton presided. Hon. Charles A. Sinclair of Portsmouth was unanimously nom- inated by acclamation as candidate for United States Senator, tobe supported in the ture today, when each house will take # ballot. CHAUNCEY F.

John Donohue of Philadelphia nominated Sen- ator George Ross of Bucks county, and Senator Brown. York, named ex-Lieut. Gov. Chauncey F, Black. ‘A’secret ballot resulted in the choice of Black by a vote of 51 to 30. Eight senators and ten representatives were absent. SENATOR MOODY RENOMINATED. The republican caucus of South Dakota last night renominated Senator Moody as the re- publican candidate for the United States sena- torship from South Dakota. Fifteen were ab- sent. The independents decided not to make any caucus nominations. ‘There is increasing talk of a dark horse with Mellette the favorite. in the legislature Balloting for Senator begins today. ‘THE SITUATION IN NORTH DAKOTA. ‘The two branches of the North Dakota legis- lature will ballot separately for Senator today and possibly a caucus will be held in the even- ing. The joint balloting does not commence until tomorrow. It is generally conceded that Pierce would have been nominated last night if a caucus had been held.

Articles of incorporation of » company or- ganized to construct a tunnel between the foot of Whitehall street, New York, and the foot of Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn, were filed in Albany yesterday. The incorporators include some of the most prominent men in political and busi- ness circles. Among them are Secretary Tracy, Gen. Newton, ex-Mayor Hewitt, Vice President Morton, Senator Calvin 8.

The Present Condition of the District Appro- priation Bil, The District appropriation bill has become s Political foot ball, and like all foot balls is get- ting the worst of the scrimmage. It must not be considered that the democrats are de- laying action on the bill because of any serious opposition to the measure itself, the opposition from the democratic side and the dilatory tactics which have been adopted sim- ply result from a determination on the part of the democrats to delay action on every measure and waste as much time as possible until the Senate decides what action is to be taken on the election Dill. The desire is to waste no much time that if the election bill should come back to the House with amendments there will not be left enough time to consider it. Yesterday dilatory tactics prevented consider- ation of the appropriation bill until after the Stan went to press. It is probable that a rule ill be brought in today from the committee on rales closing debate on the District bill. Good Prospects for Westinghouse. Paul D. Cravath of New York, counsel for Geo.
