Au Interesting Ceremonial at St. Matthews’ ‘Church—Personals, A notable ceremony took place just before noon today at St. Matthew's Church when the infant daughter of Senor Covarrubias, secre- tary of the legation, was baptized. The baptistry at the back of ‘the church was hedged in and set with palms. The baptis- mai fount was surrounded by St. Joseph lilies until it arose like « great white flower in the center of them. ‘ihe .railing was half hidden with garlands of asparagus and smilax and the entire surroundings were made joyous for the happy event. But for the delicate state of Madame Covarrubia’s health all the details of a Mexican christening would have been carried out. A large company are always invited to the church on these ‘occasions, pretty cards with the baby’s name and a gold coin attached ceremony the dey the ehurch come in a chance at 9 shower of coins that are freely bestowed upon them. Rev. Thos. J. Kervick, assistant pastor of St. Matthew's, baptized the baby, who is now about two months old. The name the little beauty received is Marguerite Gaudaloupe Marie, the second being in honor of the patron saint of Mexico, or rather the title under which the mother of Christ is honored in Mex- ico—Our Lady of Gaudaloupe. ‘The spon- sors were the Mexican minister and Mre, omero. Senor Covarrubias and Madame Choppin, the baby's grandmother, were present. Ihe latter was superbly dressed ina trained gown of black and gold striped satin with a jacket bodice of royal purple vel- vet and jet. “Mrs. Romero wore black. velvet and jet, with a bonnet trimmed in blue and gold. ‘The baby’s bonne, in her cape and cap with its long streamers, holding her charge, and another nurse, algo clad in the picturesque finery of her calling, minding the little three- year-old daughter ‘of Senor Covarrubias, in connection with the group near the baptistry gates, made a spectacle not often seen in America. Tiny Mlle, Covarrubias was all in white, white kid leggings, white silx cloak, a white felt hat with ostrich tipa and her cute little hands were encased in white kid gloves. Nothing more dainty could be imagined unless it was the baby Geudaloupe. Her christening robe was of exquisitely fine Valen- ciennes lace. fer cloak of softest white silk was edged with a deep fall of the same lace and embroidered ull over with small fleur de lis—a pretty ides, as her mother is French. Her baby cap of ‘Ince was under her rounded chin, and over that was @ large white silk bonnet with a cute bunch of tiny ostrich tips in front amongst the ribbons. When her bonne carried ber in church a white quilted satin laprobe was laid over the little darling, to protect her from the cold. When it came the moment for the holy water to be poured over he rhead Mrs. Romero removed the pretty cap and held the in over the font, The baby cried and, of cour: everybody smiled, as all the signs go that baby who cries wh baptized has a long lit ahead. Afterward Senor and Mrs. Komero accompanied the family ty back to the Covarrubias residence on Connecticut aven to congratulate the parents aud to be present at the little informal christening breakfast. Madame Covarrnbias is improving greatly in strength, but to hasten her convalescence her husband and Madame epee will soon take her way for # sojourn at Lakewood. Senator and Mrs. Stanford gave a dinner last night in honor of Mrs. Elkins, who is here on @ visit to her father, Senator Felton. The flower decorations of the table wore red. and yellow tulips. ‘The other guests were Mrs. and Mise Condit Smitk, Miss Stephanie Whitney, Miss Herbert, Miss Piatt and Miss Clark of Cali- fornia, Mrs. Kent, Gen. and Mrs. Geo.

ARBANOEMENTS MADR, BY THOSE REPRESENTING THE RAILROAD COMPANY AND THOSE INTER- ESTED IX THE LAND TO BE CONDEMXED— OTHER MEASURES OF LOCAL INTEREST. —* . The subcommittee of the House District com- mittee having charge of railroads gave a hear- ing today upon the Weahington and Western, Maryland railroad bill. Mr. A. G. Safford, attorney for the company, ‘was the first speaker. of the bill, which has heretofore been published at length in Tae Stan. In regard to section 2 of the bill the company would favoran amendment which will permit the company to proceed under the general laws of the District in making their condemnations. It is difficult to makea special law applicable to condemnation of railroad lands, and the com- pany would be willing to come under the gen- eral law. MR. CLARE'S OPPOSITION. Mr. J. P. Clark, vice president of the Pali- sades of the Potomac Land Company, appeared to oppose some portions of the bill. Mr. Clark said the objections made by his company were to the proposed change of route by the Tails road company. The railroad would come up to the top of the hill and destroy the property for purposes of subdivision into building lots. j@ railroad is asking for a chauge in route, because they can build their line cheaper. The land company prefers the original route selected should be adhered to. ‘The District | Commissioners, in their recommendations upon their bill, bad mot shown any favor to the land company. ‘The land company objects to any power be- ing given the railroad company to take any land by coudemnation for round houses, &c., save what the general act gives. They want to except the property of the Palisades Land Company from the operation of the condemna- tion clause. The land company wants an amendment | Providing for payment of damages to owners of the property condemned or residue of the rac Mr. Safford objected to this. It would hold the railroad company liable for damages to ple other than holders of the property con- jemned. Mr. Clark said the railroad company is try- ing to tie the land up in a manner which will prevent any sales for a ye: Mr. Safford denied the allegation. Mr. E. B. Cottrell, in behalf of the land com- any, said the iand was purchased with the nowledge that the railroad should run on the opposite side of the canal, leaving the high bluffs. This bill is simply the act of the rail- road company calling upon Congress to legis- Iate between the two companies. He is in- formed that the railroad company wants the hew route to save the expense of raising the Chain bridge. WHY THE CHANOM'IS ASKED. ‘Mr. Post, for the railroad company, denied the statement of Mr. Cottrell. It is not to save the expense of raising the bridge that the route is desired to be changed. The change is asked because the railroad company has found that the first route selected is sev- enteen feet under high water mark for its length. The desirability of the route on the north side is apparent. The grades are more access- ible. In fact, if the original route were se- lected the grades could only be surmounted by “switchback” in order to make the conunec- tions with other roads which this company de- sires. _ Lhe objection of certain citizens to the pos- sible erection of round houses in the vicinity can be answered by the statement that the District Commissioners have at all times power to prevent any such nuisance. THE COMMISSIONERS UNGED THE CHANGE, ‘Mr. Safford said the general law gives power to condemn such land as is necessary. The objections urged to the route of this road were overruled by the District Commissioners at a recent hearing. The suggestions for change of the route orignated with the Com- missioners because the route would injure the approaches to the Chain _ bridge. No land can be taken from the Palisades Com- pany until the District Commissioners author- ze it. Atrial by jury is provided asa re- course for the Palisades Company if that com- pany is not satisfied. However, a provision should be made which would allow the railroad company to throw up the bargain and not take any land if the arbitrators decide upon a sum | which the railroad company could notafford to a pay. ‘Mr. Cottrell urged the omission of that por- tion of the bill whick authorizes the company to condemn jand for a round house. He ob- jected to naming the purpose for which the Assistant Secretary ae Testimony Before the Special Committees. ER TELI OF THE OPERATION OF THE “com- PLETED FILES ORDER” AND SAYS HE DOES NoT THINK WASHINGTON ATTORNEYS WERE oIyEN AN UNDUE ADVANTAGE UNDER rt. ‘The examination of Assistant Secretary Bus sey of the Interior Department was continued today by the special pension office investigat- ing committees. Mr. Enloe, after eliciting the information that there were » number of com- plainte from pensioners of delay in the adjudication of claims, asked ff an order bad been issued practically taking the office force from work under the old laws and putting it to work on the adjudication of cases under the dependent and disability act of 1890. ‘Mr. Bussey said that the entire force had not been employed, but added thet a large number of claims arising under the old law, in which the evidence was insufficient to meet ite re- quirements, had beon adjudicated under the new law through an order issued by himself to the commissioner. He may have stated yea- terday that no euch order had been issued, because be did sot then recall the order. Mr. Enloe thon examined Mr. Bussey with reference to the “completed files” order, which, it was charged, had been issued'at the request of Pension Attorney Lemon and gave Mr. Lemon considerable advantage in proso- cuting claime. Mr. Bussey said be believed the order facilitated the adjudication of claims. It was true that many claims found by the board of review to be incomplete were put on the completed files, but no cases known in advance to be incomplete were put there. Witness did not know with whom that order originated. He bad heard that be- fore it was issued an experiment had been made on some of Mr. Lemon's cases. Practical experience, Mr. Bussey declared, bad demonstrated that under the completed files order greater efficiency was obtained than un- der the former method. Mr. Enloe asked what effect the order bad upon claimants who had no attorneys. Mr. Bussey replied that the Secretary bad issued an order directing that in all cases where claim- ‘ante had no attorneys they be notified of the evidence necessary to bave their claims put on the completed files. ‘Mr. Euloe—Then the pension office acts as an attoruey for claimants who have po at- torney? Mr. Bussey replied in the negative and said that no preference was given to either class. Each case took precisely the same course, but in order to prevent injustice, which Deputy Commissioner Lincoln had suggested might be the result of the order.the Secretary had called cial attention to claims not represented by attorneys, which numbered about 18,000 only. air. Bussey did not believe the order gave Washington attorneys an advantage over coun- try attorneys. He Lad heard charges that Mr. Lomon rectived an advantage from the order, butdid not believe them. Mr. Lemon, from his experience, made # practical suggestion, and may bave had some influence in securing its adoption. Chairman Wheeler asked if that order did not go into effect immediately, and if in that Way an advantage was not given to local attor- neys who kuew of it in advance of other per- sons. Mr. Bussey said he believed that the order was telegraphed all over the country the Gay it was issued, but Mr. Wheeler called at- tention to the fact that Commissioner Raum had testified that it was five weeks before it be- came generally known. Mr. Bussey said there was no “snap judg- ment” about the order, and that he lind it under consideration month before issued. Mr. Lemon may have suggested it, but today wit- ness believed it was a fair, just, good order, and @ coustant notice to claimants that they should see that their claims were ‘comi- lete. ’ Chairman Wheeler asked if witness bad heard ofa business transaction (the ind ofa note) between Commissioner Raum and Mr. Lemon the day after the order was issued. Mr. Bussey said he had no personal knowl- edge of it. Mr. Lemon bad given the office less trouble than any other attorney. Mr. Little suggested that perhaps the pen- sion office had given Mr. Lemon less trouble than other attorneys, and inquired if Mr. Bus- sey knew of notes being indorsed for other employes by attorneys. The reply was a noge- tive. Witness informed Mr. Euloe that be did not know whether or not Mr. Lemon putin 4,000 claims at once after the order was issued, involving fees of $100,000. Mr. Enloe then began a series of inquiries as to whether of not pension employes were afraid to testify for fear of removal, but noth- ing definite was elicited. Mr. Enloe asked about the case of the Penn- sylvania militia called out by President Lin- laud should be used. The railroad company has the right to condemn land and then use it for any purpose they choose, so their rights would not be interfered with by the amend- ment. OPERATING UNDER A SPECIAL CHARTER. Mr. Safford objected to this. Tbe railroad company is operating under a special charter and does not want to come under the general law. The company must proceed under the special charter. ‘THR NORFOLK AND WESTERN ROAD. The subcommittee then took up the bill eu- thorizing the Norfolk and Western Railroad Company to extend its lines into the District. Mr. Joseph 8, Miller appeared for the com- any. Potho time suggested by the Commissioners for the completion of the road, two years, is somewhat short, and while the railroad com- does not make any fight upon the point, Mi uggested to the committee. oe Mr. Husk asked what limitation is placed upon the construction of the bridge across the Potomac. Mr. Miller replied that this matter would be under the control of the Secretary of coln for the Gettysburg campaiga, who, by an opinion promulgated yesterday, it was beld had a pensionable status, although they were not regularly mustered in. The case under consideration was that of Mr. ley of the nia. Witness did not remember attorney's name. After witness had it he secured the confirmatory opinions of As- sistant Attorney General Shields and Attorney General Miller. He read the opinion of the Attorney General, holding that it was the in- tention of Congress that volunteers and militia men who rendered regular service, although not mustered, should be entitled ‘to recei pensions. It gave 50,000 soldiers a5pension- able status, but witness did not believe many me forty-seventh Pennerl- ‘on : they had at this late day was the result of a very brief service in the war. Representative Dungan of Ohio called atten- tion toa claim in which Senator Allison, Rep- resentative Gear and Representative Seerley had sent five calls for iniormation which bad remained unanswered in the pension office for ear, when it was found that no request had War.
