Mr. Stewart, in the way of a personal expla- nation, replied to certain newspaper criticisms of his position in the Dubois-Clagett contested ease from the state of Idaho. The statements which he particularly objected to had been made by the liaho Statesman, the Washington Srax aud the New York /eraid, and were to the effect that be was favoring the claim of Clagett in order to revenge himself on Dubois for de- feating his (Mr. Stewart's) scheme to disrupt duho by attaching one part of it to the state of Washington and the other part to the state of Nevada This he denied, and he declared that Mr. Clagett wasn't » democrat, as asserted in the papers, but was a good re- publican of thirty years’ standing. He was ‘aware that Nevada had but a small population; but she would ultimately without doubt be- come a great state— Nevada was not a hopeless ease, and there might be no misapprehension about her. She would come out all right. He Bad advocated the admission of Idaho and had done all he could to promote the passage of the bill for her admission. Mr. Dubois had been properly opposed to the division of Idaho; so that, that ques- tion, there was no feeling whatever between them. He did not want the idea to go out that in giving his vote on a question of law he was actuated by any personal feeling. Both Mr. Dubois and Mr. Clagett had been friends ef bis for many years and were both republi- cans. ‘Ou motion of Mr. Hiscock the Senate at 1:30 proceeded to executive business. mouse 000 Indians.

(Tex.) from the committee on Appropriations called up tae resclution direct- ing the committe: to make an inquiry con- core.ng the managsment of the world’s fair and th. expenditures therefor. Bir. Sayers said, in expiast.ng the resolution, that it #xs understood ‘hat aa application would t= rai t> Congrers e.ther for a loan of $5,090,000 or the investment of such a sum in ttock, to be held by tie government.

Mr. Henderson (Iowa), the author of the ‘original resolution, mmed any tafriendle- ness to theexposition. From the begianing he whose resignations were requested by the Sec- retary. In the case of Mr. Bates it was felt that he was too advanced a thinker on the subject of the shipping _ interests of the United States. His administrati the office has been far from satisfactory Secretaries under whom he has served and it bas required constant efforts to kee him in the lines of the policy lai down by the President. His an- nual reports of ~—'tifis, sand —_last r caused considerable criticism throughout the country when given to the press, and were revised by order of Secretaries Windom and Foster before appearing in an official form. In the caso of Mr. Reid the only reason for his dismissal is that he is of the wrong politi- faith, viewed from a republican standpoint. his change was made without consultation with Gen. Rosecrans, the register. Nir. O'Brien, the ‘coming commissioner of navigation, was disbursing clerk of the House during the Fifty-first Congress, and was also secretary of the congressional campaign com- mittee of last year. DISTRICT DAY. ‘Matters of Local Interest Taken Up im the House. AUTHORITY FOR THE COMMISSIONERS TO GRANT PARDONS AND RESPITES IN CERTAIN CASES— THE ROUTE OF THE ECKINGTON RAILROAD AMENDED AFTER SOME LITTLE DEBATE. Today was the first day of this session of Congress set apart for the consideration in the House of bills reported from the committee on the District of Columbia. Accordingly, after the clerk had called the list of committees for the submission of reports, the Speaker recog- nized Mr. Hemphill, who called up House bill No. 4429, to empower the Commissioners of the District to grant respites and pardons for offenses against the late corporation of Wash- ington, the ordinances of Georgetown and tho levy court, the laws enacted by the legislative assombiy and the police and building regula- tions of the District. The report submitted upon the bill was the following letter from the Commissioners, which was read: ‘THE COMMISSIONERS’ LETTER. Wasnixarox, January 20, 1892. Sm: The Commissioners have the bonor to transmit herowith draft of a bill to authorize the Commissioners to grant pardons and res- ites for offenses the punishment for which iscommitment to the municipal work house in default of the payment of the fine. The object of ‘th bill is to confer on the Commissioners the power possessed by the executives of the former mu- | nicipal corporations which were in force in this District prior to the establishment of a single government for the District of Columbia ‘The law which abolished those corporations con- tinned in foree ell valid laws and ordinances which those corporations had enacted, but did not transmit to the Commissioners the power to grant respites and pardons for offenses against those lawsand ordinances. The lack of this power prevents the Commissioners from excercising executive clemency in many ca: where it is obviously in. the interest of public morals and justice to abate such sentences or diminish their severity. Respectfully, J. W. Dovazass, Hon. J. J. Hesrurez, President. Chairman House Committee on the District of Columbia. The bill was passed without debate or a Both of the oilices require presidential nomi- nations. WILLARD NOKVELL'S CASE. The Poor Convict Act Applies to Him and the Case Will Be Tried. In the Court in General Term Judge James delivered the opinion of the court in the case of Wiliard S. Norvell, the young Treasury clerk, sentenced to $500 fine, who seeks dis- charge from jail under the poor convict's act, holding that the commissioner hed jurisdic- tion. A writ of certiorari was sued out by the district attorney from the Criminal Court sot- ting forth that a United States commissioner had taken proceedings to examine the right of Norvell to be discharged from confinement ‘poor convict.” It appeared that Nor- sentenced to pay a fine of $500 and to be imprisoned until he paid his fine. There was no definite term of imprisonment. Norvell had applied to the commissioner and claimed that as he had no means to pay the fine he was entitled, to hig ducharge after being detained thirty days. Justice James read statute known as “the poor convicts’ act,” and de- scribing the {proceedings to be taken under the act to secure the dis- charge of a poor convict. The question raised by the government was whether this court was included under the words of the statute “ary court of the United States.” The article in the Revised Statutes in which this section was included related to District and circuit courts of the United States. It was contended not that this court was not a United States court, but that the statute related only to courts in the judicial districts of the United States. Justice James referred to the provision of the Kevised Statutes for the Dis- trict that all United States laws not locally in- applicable should be the law of the District. the court could not perceive anything in this statute which was locally inapplicable any more than in statutes they had heretofore en- forced; for instance, that relating to the right to demand a list of jurors. bere was no reason existing in the District why a poor con- viet should not be protected against the danger of indefinite imprisonmentin this Districtas well as in the judicial districts of the United States, the court held, therefore, that the statute was applicable und that the commissioner had juris- diction to make the inquiry. The case was, therefore, remanded to the Criminal Court to be proceeded with according to the opinion of Yhe court. —- ON MARYLAND AVENUE NORTHEAST. Citizens Who Are Opposed to Laying Street Railway Tracks There. Consideration upon Senate bill 2003, to incor- porate the Washington Central Railway Com- pany, was the subject before the Commissioners at the public hearing in the board room today. Under the call for objectors Mr. A. W. Kel- logg spoke against the proposed bill. He said that he did not think that all of the streets of the city should be surrendered tothe railroads, and that the use of Maryland avenue northeast by a street railroad was not necessary to public convenience, as that section of the city was already well supplied by three transportation lines—the H street line, the herdies and the carettes. Further- more, that the Commissioners should consider the rights which those companies had and the business they had bwit up and not countenance an unnecessary disturbance of the business relations. Maryland avenue was the only avenue in East Washington left the citizens in that section for a driveway. It was the duty of the Commissioners ‘as ad- visors of Congress to conserve and protect the District and its conditions aa well a to stimu- late enterprises. Mr. John 'T. Clements said that the projectors of the present bill had attempted tu draft this bill to meet all the objections and wishes which had been expressed at the hearings before the Commissioners with reference to the streets roposed to be occupied, and their ronte in East Washington bad been unanimously ap- t a meeting last Thursday mghtby the Washington Citizens’ Association. ‘The projectors had designed this road as a public convenience and not as an enterprise to enhance the speculative value of real estate. Every one on the line was in favor of the road, Rossel he said y toa question by Capt. he thought it perfectly feasible to cross the avenue at 10th street northwest. Mr. J.J.S. Hasclor illustrated the cy of transportation facilitics in East gton, aud said that the people who use Maryiand avenue have very little use for it as a carriage drive. He saw no objection to crossing 10th street northwest. Mr. ‘i. Hi. N. McPherson stated that whether the Maryland avenue people desired the road or not the residents of the intersecting streets | did, aud the needs of the mass of the peopie should first Le considered. It was his opinion that the antagonists merely opposed the use of Maryland avenue on sentimental grounds, present Ur. C. C. Duncanson also spoke against the bill. “He referred especially to that section uthorizing the construction of the road across Pennsylvania avenue at 10th street northwest aud the use of D street, which was altogether too narrow for the occupancy of o railroad. ‘Ihe hearing then adjourned. pace rsa THE DEATH OF MRS. SCHNEIDER. An Inquest to Be Held at the House This Afternoon. Coroner Patterson will hold an inquest this afternoon over the body of young Mrs. Schn der, whe died last Saturday as the result of wounds inf'ic"sd by her husband on the pre- ceding Sunday evening. The inquest will be held at the residence of Col. Haulink, father of the young girl, and it is probable that Jonly two witnesses will be examined Mics | Jeunie Hamlink, who witnessed the shooting. | and Deputy Coroner Schaeffer, who performed the autopsy yesterday.

Mr. Hemphill then called up the bill No. 4107, to change the corporate name of the National Safe Deposit Company to “The National Safe Deposit, Savings and ‘Trust Company of the District of Columbia.” avis bill was also passed without debate or vision. THE ECKINGTON RAILROAD. Mr. Hemphill then called up bill No. 410, authorizing the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home railway to extend its route. The bill authorizes the company to lay its tracks and run cars on streets and avenues as follows: Beginning at the intersection of 5th and G streets northwest east along G to New Jersey avenue; along New Jersey avenue to C northwest; along © to North Capitol strect to B north; and also beginning at the intersection of G street and New Jer- sey avenue east to Massachusetts avenue; thence southeasterly along Massachusetts ave- nue to North Capitol street, and thence north along North Capitol street to New York ave- nue, connecting with its main line and North Capitol street branch: Provided, That if electric wires or cables are used to propel its cars over any of the routes hereby authorized within the limits of the city of Washington the same shall be placed underground. Wher- ever the foregoing route or routes may coin- cide with the duly authorized route or routes of any other duly incorporated street railway company in the District of Columbia bo! companies shall use the same tracks upon such fair and equitable terms as may be agreed upon by said companies, and in the event said companies shall fail to agree upon equitable terms, either of said companies may Pepy by petition to the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, which shall hear and determine summarily the matter in due form of law and adjudge to the proper party the amount of compensation to Bopaia ‘therefor. ‘Said company shall charge not exceeding 5 cents fare for one continuous ride from any point on its line to the terminus of its main line or any of its branchgs. The company is authorized to increase its capital stock £300,000 for the Cle of ena- bling it to extend and equip its line as provided im this act. Unless said extensions are commenced within three months and the cars run there within one year from the passage of this act, the authority hereby granted shall be void: Pro- vided, That said railroad sball be constructed on such grade and in such manner as shall be approved by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia. Congress reserves the right to alter, amend or repeal this act. SOME EXLANATIONS MADE. Mr. Hemphill explained that owing to the illness of Mr. Heard this bill had not been re- ported to the House until this morning and the report had just been printed, but the bill was not on the House calendar. ' He explained the general purport of the bill. In answer to nestions by Mr. Kilgore Mr. Hemphill said Gist the eity authorities had indorsed tho pro- posed extension of the route. Mr. Seerly of Iowa wanted more explanation than he thought was afforded by Mr. Hemp- hill’s explanation, and Mr. Heard thereupon detailed the route of tire proposed extension and explained the advantage of having « road which would connect the Capitol and the Treas- ury Department building, the government printing office and the new city post office. AGAINST OVER CAPITALIZATION. Mr. O'Neill of Massachusetts said he did not want to be considered as opposing the ex- tension of the line, but that he is opposed to authorizing a capitalization which is far be- yond the costof building the road. He said the Washington and Georgetown road is a striking example of over capitalization. Onl: or $30 has been paid in upon stock wort $230. He said that no charter for a street railway has been granted by Congress in latter years that did not permit the watering of stock. Mr. Hemphill replied that in making this statement the gentleman stated that which is not true. Mr. O'Neill reaflirmed the truth of his statement. Mr. Heard said the capital stock of the Washington and Georgetown road is only $500,000, but the road is worth $3,000,000 or $4,000,000. He had never known a bill to come before the District committee to which there was so little objection. Mr.Hemphill said tlie bill had been favorably reported by the District Commissioners and unanimously agreed upon by the District com- mittee. Not asingle proterthad been sub- mitted by any property owner along the route It is known to be the best improvement made in this city since he had been a member of this House. ‘The new line of cars wil! give members of Congress an opportunity tv reach the public buildings by street car instead of by cabs. ‘The stock bad not been “watered.” Not a single officer of the road draws a salary. The road is not paying dividends, and it is believed will not pay any for the next five years. ONE MAN'S OBJECTION. Mr. Heard said the only objector in this city to the road was one man living near the Capitol on New Jersey avenue, one block distant from the road, who thought the cars would make too much’ noise; objecting, too, notwithstand- ing the fact that he was located within one square of a steam railroad. “And within one square of this hall,” said Mr. Buchanan of New Jersey. When the laughter caused by this remark had subsided Sir. Seerley of Iowa said he did not assert that this bill is suspicious, but he wanted more time to consider it. ‘'o that end he moved Sonos further consideration of the measure for two weeks. He demanded the previous question on his motion to postpone, notwithstanding Mr. Hemphill’s protest against his “teking snaj ju ton the committee” and shutting off debate. The motion for the previous question was voted down. Mr. Butler of Jowa then made a motion to postpone, which also was de- feated, the House refusing to even order the yeas and nays. Mr. O'Neill of | Massachusetts offered jan amendment, which was accepted by Heard and! subsequently agreed to by the Benes, _ wwiding that the increased capital stack ot dsnemany ihell: ba weed orgies the bonds which have been heretofore issued by the company to take care of the indebted- ness already incurred and stipulating that no. additional bonds shall be issued without the consent of Congress. The bill, as smended, was then passed with- out farther debate, and Mr. Hemphill an- nounced that the District of Columbia commit- tee,bad no further business before the House. ROCK CEERE ZANE ‘The Awards Made by the mission Confirmed by, - JUSTICE COX DELIVERS THE .OPINIDN AMD .RE- VIEWS THE ACTION OF 35 COMMISSIONERS AND THE OBJECTIONS RAISED BY COUNSEL FOR ‘THE OWNERS—NOTICES OF ABREAL GIVEX. The Court in General Term today confirmed the awards made by the Book Cyeek Park ap- praising commission. ‘The of the court on the exceptions 40 ,the. of the commission filed by theequnselfor property owners was pronounced by Mr. Justice Cox. ‘There was no dissent. The order confirm- ing the report will be presented to the court tomorrow aud when it has been signed the next step to be taken in securing the park will be the presentation of the awards to the Presi- dent for his approval. Justice Cox in announcing the decision of the court said that the act under which the pro- ceedings were taken had defects in it which might embarrass its execution and give rise to trouble in the future, but these defects were not now before the court for consideration. FOUR STEPS TO BE CONSIDERED. There wore four steps to be taken under the act in the process of securing the land. ‘Tho first was the selection of the land by the commission. The next step was described in the third section prescribing that the commis- sion should have prepared and filed an accu- rate map of the land proposed to be taken. The next step was the ascertainment of the e of the land. ‘The last step was the payment of the money. It was provided that upon the payment of the money then the title should be transferred to the United States. ‘They were now at the third step and it was important to ascertain what the duty of the court was. : ‘the land embraced in the map filed was the Iand held to be condemned conditionally. Justice Cox read the provisions of the act re- luting to the proceedings. Tho court, he said, had no discretion. They were to appoint a commission to assess the value of the land em- braced in the map. The court had no right to stop and criticise the acts of the commission that selected the land. It was a ministerial duty imposed on the court, and if the court refused to discharge it the commission would have a right to a writ of mandamus to compel the court to discharge it. ‘The justice discussed briefly the various modes foliowed for condemning and acquiring pos- session of land. MODES OF ACQUIRING LAND. Everywhere it was recognized that a certain control was to be exercised over appraisements by acourt. ‘The court was bound to complete this appraisement or assesment; if it set aside one appraisement it must go on with another until the appraisement was complete. The Jaw of August 3, 1890, relating to the public printing office, provided that in all such proceedings the report of the appraisers should be confirmed by the court. it was correetly claimed that this portion of the act of August 3, 1890, should be read into the Rock Creek Park act. ‘The court must complete the ap- praisement by having an assessment made, which the court must confirm, unless some good reason appeared for not confirming it. He thought the rule was that the court would not review the findings of appraisers simply on the evidence submitted. A board of appraiser was selected for their special fit- ness to appraise and were not sworn, asa jury, to find a verdict “according to the evidence.” He read authorities on this point. The knowl- edge gained by appraisers in “viewing” property was nota thing that could be re- viewed by a court. The only question here was whether the ob- jections made were sufficient to justify the court in betting aside the appraisement. He then considered rapidly the various excep- tions. A number of those filed, he said, had not been insisted oS in argument. The ob- Jections to be considered amounted really only to three or four in number. ‘THE ODJECTIONS CONSIDERED. ‘The first objection briefly was that the aggre- gute award exceeded the appropriation. This was not an exception founded on any alleged misconduct of the appraisers, but on account of alieged excess of authority on the part of the commission that selected the land in selecting more than the appropriation would pay for. The court dweit on theabsurdity of expecting the managing commission to know beforehand what the awurds would amount to. The court's opinion was that the appropriation was a re- striction not on the court or the appraisers, but on the officers charged with paying the money. The rext objection was that the findings made were contrary to the evidence. Th court, as already stated, was satisfied that as a general rule the court ‘had no right to review Sam the findings as to evidence. Still, it was a question when a finding could be said to be against evidence. In this case the evidence consisted mainly of opinions of so-called experts, He could conceive that even in the case of this sort a finding might be held as against the evidence—for instance, if the appraixement largely exceeded the highest claim of the owners or fell below the lowest estimate of the government. But here the an- praisement fell between. Where testimony was conflicting it could not be said that the result was contrary to the evidence. The court felt that ite own judgment of val- ues would be of less weight than that of these commissioners, who had had all these matters beforethem. The justice referred to the affidavit of 8. M. Jones as to certain statements made by Mr. Seufferle, one of the appraising comm: sioners, to the effect that the commissioners had put aside the evidence and used their own independent judgment. Even if this state- ment of Jones was uncontradicted, it amounted only to a statement that the commissioners had done just what they hada right todo. It did not prove any misconduct on the part of the commission. Another objection was made on account of alleged misconduct on the part of the govern- meut in producing the testimony of witnesses who were not impartial and who were provided with the list of prices offered by the managing commission. The testimony in question was only the opinion of experts. He knew of no limit on the right of an expert witness to qualify himself by consultation or by obtaining all the information he could beforehand. ‘As to the contention that the finding of value was a judgment against the party seeking con- demnation Justice Cox read authorities to show that this was not the case, und he said this court could aes * judgment against tho United States and in this cuse the statute provided that there couid be no payment of money beyond the appropriation. NO REAGON TO SET ASIDE THE AWARDS, They had gone over the various exceptions and found in them no reason for setting aside these awards. The court would therefore con- firm the report in the case of Mrs. Carpenter, and the exceptions made by Mr. Conway Rob- inson, the court, he said, confirmed both the alternative awards, leaving it for settlement hereafter, which amount should be paid. ‘There were several questions that might be raised under this act, Justice Cox said, which the court did not propose to express an opinion on, as it was not, In the view of the court, nec- essary now to consider them. He referred to the right of the commission to select only so much of the ground as the money appropriated would pay for and some other questions which had been suggested in argument. NOTICES OF APPEAL. Messrs. Coleman, Lambert, Abert and Wil- son, representing various owners, gave notices of appeal. ‘Mr. Wilson said that he gave notice that he would ask to have inserted in the order of the court/that interest should run from the day of the filing of the map. NO INTEREST TO BE ALLOWED. Mr. Cole said that of course the government would object to this and remarked that it might be that the government would not take the land at all. Mr. Wilron said he intended to insert in ar- gment that the order should be made to in- elude such @ provision. ‘THE ONLY REMAINING gTEP. ‘The step remaining to be taken. now before the park land will be acquired is the submission of the awards to the President for his approval. ‘This will be done i See managing commission after the order of the court is signed. Bos various questions to be considered will ted in such shape that it is believed ct the Pronident Ror te Attorney Gene whom it sup] tof the case will be referred, will have to ‘spond much time in research. ‘The matter, it is thor will be speedi! acted upon.

Rear Admiral Andrew Bryson, a retired naval officer, died yesterday afternoon at his resi- dence, 1822 Massachusetts avenue, from an ulcer of the stomach. He has been in failing health for several months, but was seriously ii for only about ten days. His family consists of his wife, two daugiters and a son. Admiral Bryson was just seventy years of age and has been on the retired list of the navy since Jan- uary, 1883.

On his arrival at the jail he submitted to the ordeal of being carefully searched and of having his name and commit- ment noted in the record book of the prison with the resignation of @ man who had stecled himsclf to the point of being prepared to stand any- thing. But it was not until these preliminaries were concluded that he appeared to truly realize his position. When he was directed to follow one of the officers to the cell assigned him he caught his breath and slowly followed the officer. As the heavy iron doors swung back on their hinges the prisoner involuntarily shuddered as the dismal creaking noise echoed through the haif-lighted corridorsand half balt- ed. Another shudder passed through his frame as the door leading to the corrider in which his cell was situated closed bebind him. Down the eastern corridor of the south wing he fol- lowed the officer, and from each cell they pasted peered the cur:ous eyes of the priconer’s now fellow comcades, At the extreme end of the corridor the oficer halted, ond opening the door of the large double cell formerly eveupied by Guiteau ‘told the prisoner to enter. Schneider mutely obeyed, and as the door was locked bebind ‘him turned to the officer and said ina voice thick and strained. “My God, this is horrible!” ‘The officer replied that it was, but advised him to make the best of it and left him. EATS BUT LITTLE. Since then the prisoner has caten “hardly enough to keep a cat alive,” as one of the jail officiuls expressed it, his principal diet being an Occasional giass of milk and a piece of toast. The only anxiety of Schneider since his com- mitment to jail has been as_to his wife's condi- tion. He received the news of her death on Saturday through @ dispatch which was imme- diately sent to him. ‘The news, although nt unexpected by him, bad the effect of plung- ing him into a fit of deeper depression, from which it was almost impossible to arouse him. He absolutely refused to partake of any food whatever, and it only after the jail officials had intimated to that he must eat something that he con- sented late Saturday night to drink a glass of milk. Until 11 o'clock that evening he sat on the foot of his cot with his face buried in his hands. From that time until daybreak he did nothing but pace up and down his cell, mutter- ing to himself every little while. Once or twice his mind seemed tobe wandering and UARY 8, 1892.

W. M. Ferguson, yesterday preached a historical sermon. large and interested congregation was present and incidents were recalled which had been handed down from the days when to some ex- tent the ancestors of some present could be told by their garb as well as by their walk and conversation. All the services next Sunday and the week fol- lowing will be of a highly interesting character, particularly those of Wednesday, the 17th, when it is expected that there will be present all the tors now living who have had this charge and those who have been mem- bers and are now in other churches in other arts of the city or country. Among the pas- Yors are Revs. John ‘Lanaban, Thones Myers, B. G, W. Reed, J. W. Hedges, W. H. Chapman, W. T. D. Clemm, G. V. Leech, J.g E. Amos and M. F. B. Rice. nee, BIN for Alimony. Julia A.
