What the Fifty-First Congress Did For the District. MEASURES OF IMPORTANCE. A Review of the Work Done by Congress as the District Legislature —Some Notable Contests—The City Post Office and the Rock Creek Park—Pennsylvanis Ratlroad Bill. The Congress which has just died has per- formed many notable acts for the District. question of a site for the city post office was finally decided, and an eligible location fixed upon on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue between 1th and 12th streets. ‘The site takes inan entire square and in time Washington ‘Will possess a post office more in keeping with the size and importance of the city than the present dilapidated structure. ‘The choice of a site for thix much-needed building has for sev- eral sessions been a matter of conflict, and the selected location wus not obtained without a struggle. Later on in the session a paragraph | was inserted in the sundry civil appropriation law by the Fi hibiting minors. This bill was earnestly championed by a number of energetic Iwlies and to them belongs the credit of its passage. TMK QUORUM BILL AND THE QUESTION OF LI- CENSES. The Commissioners rejoiced exceedingly during the past session at the passage of the bill constituting two members of the board @ quorum for the transaction of business and providing that in ease of the absence of ‘the Engincer Commissioner his assistant should perform his <luties and allowing a captain to be appointed Engineer Commi providing he has served fifteen years. ‘The passage of the bill during the Inst session fixing the license of junk dealers, dealers in second-hand goods, dc. and increasing the amount of interest which pawnbrokers may charge is of interest, as it is expected to in- crease the District ‘revenues to a considerable extent. ‘THE MATURIXG BOXDS. In the dying hours of the Congress a bill was passed providing for the ise of a new series of 34 per cent District bonds to meet the maturing bonds of 1891 and 1892. Several plans were proposed to meet these bonds, but the one settled on was favored by the House District committee and the Houre. bill providing that the building to be erectod should not be lexs than eight stories. ata cost of 51,900,000. ‘This session the sundry civil bill increased the limit of cost to £2,000.000, and provided that the building should be fire- proof. The process of condemnation is now in and the hands property, at least, will shortly be in of the governme: THE ROCK CREEK PARK. The Fifty-first Congress also passed the much-needed bill providing for the Rock Creek Park and save the District from the danger of a disease-breeding open sewer, where now will remain permanently a picturesque stream. Much credit is due to members of the House ud Senate who championed this measure, dragged it out of what seemed certain defeat and finally landed it on the statute books. The bill appropriated $1,200,000, but provided fo an assessment of benefits and for anuual pay ments of the District's thare. In the House at one time this measure was voted down, but by an earnest effort the vote was reconsidered and the bill finally passed. THE ZOOLOGICAL PARK. While the legislation in regard to the Rock Creek Park met the support of District people the enactments in regard to the Zoological Park have met equally strenuous opposition. ‘The Zoological Park having been established by the Fiftieth Congress the fight during the past aensions has mainly been on she payment of one-half of the cost of maintenance of the park by the District, although a strong and Vigorotis effort war made to have the District's | half of the original cost refunded. In the first session a separate appropriation bill for the development snd maintenance of the park was The Senate amended this bill, which appropriated $91,000, by providing that the en- tire cost shonid fall on the United States. Mr. Cannon and others in the House, however, ‘used that body to reject the amendment, and in conference the Senate receded. ‘This year the appropriation for the park, amounting to £50,500, was included in the sundry civil bill. Phe same fight took place and the District was again unsuccessful. Another effort was made on the District appropriation bill, the Senate | inserting a clause providing for the refunding | of the amount paid by the District at the last session for the maintenance of the park. The House, however, would have noue of it and the ‘THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD BILL. ‘The passage by the Fifty-first Congress of the the District.

EXTENSION OF INCORPORATION Law. An important law to the business community rations. LEGISLATION IN APPROPRIATION BILLA. ‘The regular District appropriation bills were In the first session the appropriation bill contained a clause in re- gard to the changing of motive power by street railw: providing for the imue of bonds : is to cover the cost of such chany A special provision was inserted, aimed at t Washington and Georgetown and the Metropol- itan roads providing for the forfeiture of their charters in case an improved motive power was not «ubstituted ou the roads within two years. The appropnation bill this session provided among the new departures for a new board of assessors, for free school books in the lower grades, for a restriction in the laying of elec- trical conduits and subways and for the re- funding to the District, and the charging of the same to the water fund, to be paid in twenty-five annual installments, of the cost of the forty-eight-inch water main and of the 14th street in. STREET RAILWAY LEGISLATION. One brand-new street railway has been char- tered during the year, the lucky road being the Washington and A:lington road, whose charter provides for a bridge across the Potomac and a road to Arlington.” This lire is intended to connect with a road ranning to Mount Vernon. Other street railways have had their charters amended. The charter of the Anacostia and Potomac River road was altered so as to sllow the tracks to be placed on 1th street from the present terminus to G street. ‘The Eckington and Soldiers’ Home road se- cured « substantial extension of its charter, bringing the line down G street to 15th street and also extending the route to the entrance of Glenwood cemetery and to the south boundary of Soldiers’ Home. ‘The charter of the Georgetown and Tenley- town road was also amended so as to allow road to use the Tenleytown road. ‘The route of the hock Creek railroad was largely altered £0 as to provide for a road from the intersection of Connecticut and Florida avenues to Rock ereek and to the Woodiey road.

Prof. J. E. Watkins, the secretary, presented letters from the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the ‘Treasury and the Postmaster General stating that: their depart- ments would co-operate in every way possible with the committee in their endeavor to make the celebration all that could be devired. See- retary Proctor said that as to the paradeon the 10th of April the matter had been referred to Gen. Schofield, who would see that the military arm of the government was properly repre- sented. Aside from the large number of inventors and manufacturers and those interested in pat- ents in this country which it is expected will be Present itis hoped that there will be quite representation from foreign governments, as invitations to participate in this celebration have been oxtended to the pateut officials of all governments having a patent system similar to that of the United States, The executive committee has rented ihe buil ». 311 G street northwest and efab- lished permanent headquarters: {rom ‘which circulars and literature in to the com- jing celebration are being sent out in great numbers. re A PERMANENT NATIONAL ASAOCIATION, Aside from the celebration it is proposed. to at that time organize a permanent national as- sociation of inventors and muinnfacturers of patented articles for the purpose of securing co-operation in all proper matters tending to | the improvement of the American patent sys- tem.

The farmer members of the Ilinois legisla- ture were indignant yesterday at the falling off of the republican vote for Streeter, and noti- fied the steering committee flatly that a crisis had been reached which must culminate in a day or two in the election of either Streeter or Palmer. There was a stormy mecting of the steering committee last evening, at which the F.M.B.A. men sharply rebukeg the republicans for in- | sincerity, and added that unless the full repab- lican vote is brought into line for Streeter the F.M.B.A. members will break all negotiations at once. Asa result a call was issued for an immediate meeting of the republican state central com- mittee, for the purpose of formally indorsing the steeritig committee's action, and swinging into line those republicans who now refuse to vote for Streeter. If they hold out against the state central com- mittee it is the intention of the steering com- mittee to calla caucus at once and make a stronger nominee of the republican party.
