Seventy graduates of the University of Mich- igan sat around two long tables last evening at the Arno amid @ profusion of blue and gold ribbons and flowers and ate and talked in honor of their alma mater until a certain hour this morning. It was the annual reunion and dinner of the Washington association of the university—their eighth annual occasion, in fact—and it was one of the most enjoyable events in the record of the organization. The presence of a score or mote of ladies, graduates and wives of graduates, gave an additional flavor to the occasion.

A LETTER TO CONGRESS ABOUT APPROPRIATIONS— ‘THE CARR OF SMITHHON’S GRAVR—A SUITABLE MONUMENT PROPOSED—THE INSUFFICIENCY OF APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE INSTITUTION. At the meeting yesterday of the regonts of the Smithsonian Ins:itation the death of Gen. Meigs. a regent since 1886, was announced, and feeling remarks upon the loss to the institution were made by Dr. Coffee. The customary report of the executive com- mitteo was adopted, and ex-Senator J.B. Hon- derson was elected a member of this committee in place of the lute Gen. M attention had recently beén called to the con- dition of the tomb of Smithson, the founder of the Smithsonian Institution, which was in an obscure cometery in Genoa, and in a partially neglected condition. He could say after a per- sonal inspection that there was nothing upon it to mark perhaps the most important act of Smitheon's life, the founding of the Smith- | sonian Institution. It seemed that something should be done not only to preserve with ev dence of respectful care the place of sepulture, but to mark in some approprinte way the fuct that he was the founder of the institution. He ad taken the responsibility of ap- small cum for the perpetual care This act was duly approved by THE MAINTENSNCE OF THF “zoo.” The secretary on presenting his report called the attention of the regents to the insufficiency | of the appropriations for the conduct of the | propriated by taxation from matter which, he said, it need hardly be re- called to the regents, had not been anticipated, only fair {hat the moral right of the taxpayers should be recognized, to have what interested them made a spocial feature, and what interested them was recreation. ‘The de- bates in Congress showed that this feeling had found expression there also, and the result was the occasion of a much greater expense than the original simple scheme which contemplated the reservation of this area for the preserva- tion of buffalo and other specics of American animals near extinction, though the recreation of the public always formed a art of the plans, but not asa primary feature. he insutticiency of the appropriation bad been especialy {eit with regard to the maintenance eud care of ciiferent animals. The actual ex- pendiiures had been reduced to the lowest point, the policing of the arca of 167 acres hav- ing been done by a force of ono watchman and two employes who bad other occupations, and alike striugent economy bad obtained ‘else- where. ‘Ihe expenses, be said, had been made up by the voluntary unpaid services of persons connected With the Smithsonian Insti- tution and by the institution having furnished the park with its ofice rooms rent free and in other ways which could not possibly be con- sidered us the basis of permanent administra- tion. The secretary further mentioned the insuf- nt provisions for purely administrative purpose of government bureaus in connection With those of the Smithsonian Institution, theso expenses now falling chictly upon the Smithsonian fund, while they should unques- tionably be a public charge. A LETTER To CONGRESS. Aletter from Prof. Langley in relation to estimates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1893, was sent to Congress yesterday. In ref- erence to the “zoo” the letter says the mini- mum expenditures for the present year under the item of maintenance will be $22,622.71. The expenses for the first six months were $14,269.73, or at the rate of $28,539.46 num. With an appropriation of £17, suid, it would be impossible to properly care for and feed the animais now on hand. ‘The letter says: “In view of increased ex- penses since the estimates were prepared, due direetly to the unexpectediy great popular in- terest mayiiested in the park and to the extra- crease of visitors, 1 now feel com- pelled either to increase the estimate for main- tenance to $30,000 to cover further contin- kk that the total appropriation park be made in such iorta as n discretionary power to meet It, under the circumstances stated, the latter would, in your judgment, be the more | advisable course, I wouid etfully ask that | pngress that these three ($20,0.0), buildings aintenance (¢26,000) be ap- tiated in the one sum of $73,100." a GEORGETOWN. ae District was a FIRE IN A GREEN HOUSE.

PLUMB SUED. ‘Mr. A. E. Batemac Brings ‘Suit Against the Estate Under an Agreement Made in 1887. Arthur E. Bateman et al. (Green J. Bateman and Bateman & Co.), for the use of John A. Gar- ver, assignee, have, by Mr. H. H. Wolls, filed a bill against Carrie 8. Plumb et al., theexecutrix and executor and the legatees under the will of the Inte Senator P. B. Plumb, for a discovery as to the property of the testator, for the aj pointment of a receiver to take charge of the same, to enjoin its incumbrance and for an ac- count of the amount due to complainants and that the estate be applied to the payment. The bill sets forth an agreement, made June 8, 1887, to construct under the charter of the Atlantic and Danville railroad a railroad from Portsmouth, Va., to Hick’s Ford, a distance of fitty-five miles, at $12,000 per milo, which was to bonded at $16,000 per mile; that Newgan & Co. of London subscribed for one-half, $330,000: Green é& Bateman of Lon- ston, $100,000; P.

The Commissioncrs Listen to Objections Against the Extension of This Koad. At the late board session yesterday afternoon the Commissioners took up for consideration the bill authorizing the extension of the line of | the Columbia railway, known as Senate bill 1278. The hearing took place in Commissioner Douglass’ office and was largely attended, The principal objection to the road was made by Col. Totton, the attorney for the Washington and Georgetown railroad. According to the bill the Columbia road is to run over the tracks of the Washington and Georgetown rail- road from 15th to 17th streets on Pennsylvania avenue. Col. Totten said that the use of the company’s tracks by railroads using horse power would be scrious hinderance to the operation of the cable road. He referred to the fact that (he company kad been put toa great deal of expense in changing the motive power, and he submitted that it would not be an the line of the legislation to allow horse cars to run over the tracks. President Hurt oi the Washington and George- town Railroad Company also spoke against that portion of the bill which related to the use of his company’s tracks from 15th to 17th streets. Jf horse cars were allowed to run on these tracks it would severely cripple the cabie road. Acable eur, he said. runs at the rate of nine miles per hour, while the maximum rate of a horse car is on!y six miles per Lour, go it was obvious that if this road was allowed to use the company’s tracks the rate of speed of tho eable road would have to be reduced to six miles per hour. a IN AND OUTDOOR SPORTS. Opposed to Col. Kogers’ Agreement. President Hart of the Chicago Base Ball Club and President Robinson of the Cleveland club have informed President Rogers of Philadel- phia that they do not approve the proposed n: tional agreement and will not vote for it unless the document is materially changed. Mr. Hart says that President Brush of Cincinnati will | also oppose the adoption of the agreement as it now stands. The principal objection ad- resident Hart is that the Western not become a purty to the agreo- says that should the “draft- evail except between seasons the n Leegue would be entirely ing system" plins of the We disarranged. Rather than abandon these plans which contemplate making the clubs in the western organization as nearly equal in play- ing strength as possible, Mr. Hart believes the Western League wouid ‘forego national agree- ment protection, and that the Eastern League which is incubating would iollow the Western League. He deciares the charges tor protec- tion to be excessive. ‘The Great Chess Match.
