THE ST DEFICIENCY BILL. | Mr. Hale presented the coxference report on the urgent deficiency bill and .in connection with it made some sugge as to the pro-| priety of giving to the House committee on | appropriations (when consitoring a general ap- | propriation bili) information on the subject Of item intended to be offered or amendments im the Senate. His remarks were construed by Mr. Ransom as proposing that the Senate should surrender its right- of amending appropriation bills ‘This construction was repudiated by Mr. Hale and an expianation of the matter was made by Mr. Allison, and an illus- tration given in connec: with the urgent deticiency Lill to the eflect that the ‘Treasury Department has applied to the Sente | for an udditio: propriation and that it had been discovered casuuily that the department | had not made ite wants known to the House | committee on appropriations. It was that. he said, which the House committee was justified | in ‘compiaming of, and it was also an | injastice to the Senate, in making it appear that that body had been putting on additi appropriations. The same view of ‘the sui was taken b} Sherman. who said that hh sent to the Senate estimates which had not been sent to the House ought to be heid to an expianation for so doing. Mr. Hale repeated that applications for addi- tional items should be made in proper time. so that the House of Kepresentitives should have | an opportunity of acting on them. There wai in that no giving away of any right of the Sen- ate. He did not think that any Senator might Durcen his mind with appretensions that the rights of the Senate were to be given away atall. ‘The suggestion which he had made was made asa practical one, to ease the work, to make | things more harmonious and to get appropria- tion bills through more easily. ‘THE CONFERENCE REFOET AGREED TO. After further discussion the conference re- port was agreed to. ‘TWO DISTRICT RESOLUTIONS. Mr. Higgins offered two resolutions, which were referred to the committee on the Die trict of Columbia—one in relation of the col- lection of garbage and the cause of the deft- ¢iency existing in the appropriation for that purpose, and the other as to the apportionment among the several divisions of the District of the 25,654,000 appropriated for the improve- Ment of the streets for the last thre MILITARY ACADEMY HILL. ‘The Senate then proceeded to tion of the Military Academy appr. | riation bill.

Fora number of years the question of the proper drainage and sewerage of portions of the erty of Washington, the protection of the low parts of that city from flooding and the disposal of the sewnge of the District of | Columbia have received the attention of tl ugineer department of the District, and many reports have been made upon the vari- ogs ‘aspects of the question. Congress was |so impressed with the necessity of taking jdeemive steps in this matter ae to pro- vide, in the set making appropriatichs for the ‘expenses of the government of the District. of Columbia for the fiscal year ending June 39, 1890, that the President should | appoint three competent sanitary engineers to examine and report upon the system of sewer- age existing in the District of Columbia, her with such suggestions and recom- ations af may to them seem necessary and desirable for the modification and exten- | ston of the same. Under this law the President, on the 17th day of August, 1889, appointed Rudolph Hering of New York, Samuel M. Gray of Khode Island and Frederick P. Stearns of Mawsachusetts to make this examination and report. These gentlemen came to the District of Columbia, and after a most carefui and search- ing examination of the presentaystem of «ewer- and sewage disposal, and of the conditions existing, reported to Congress, through the President of the United States, what, in their was necessary to be doue.

Hearing of the Metropolitan Railway for an Extension of Time. The subcommittee on street railways of the House District committee gave a hear- ing this afternoon at 2 o'clock to representatives of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company upon the company’s request for an extension of one year in the time in which tochange the motor power of the roud from horses to electricity. r. Jounson, Mr. kiehardson, Mr. Heard and Mr. Post of the committee were present. Mr. ‘Thomas, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Truesdell and Mr. Pearson of the company attended. Mr. Pearson, president of the road, said that since October, 1880, his road had been investigating a proposed change of motor power. The cdmpany bad concluded that the time had expired in which horse power was suitable. Some other power must be selected, but on account of the iact that there are forty-nine curves in five miles of the road, inelnding two reverse curves, it was found that the cable would be imprac: tical It was determined that the storage battery was the system to be adopted. Up to date 120,000 ‘have been expended in equipping a plant. ‘The only drawback now is in the equipment of the electrical appliances. There is a delay in getting the appliances. When completed this plant will be the largest plant in the world devoted to the storage battery system. Mr. Richardson said there is considerable complaiut against horse power and it may be hard to get an extension of time. dir. Person explained that the change would have been made long ago but for the fact that there were only two known and tested | systems—the cable und the trolley wire. | Congress prevents the trolley and the topog- raphy of the road prevents the cable. ‘The company therefore had to cast about for an- Other system.

Ex-Contractor Draney, who was for some time engazed in the collection of garbage, will | probably be interested in the conference re- port on the urgent deficiency bill. which was agre nthe Senate this afternoon. Init | is the following amendment: | Health department: For the collection and removal of gar! 16.000, of which sum not more than $8,000 shail be expended in pay- ment of expenses heretofore incurred, and the Dalance shall be expended for said work during the remainder of the fiseal year; and legal pro- cee shell forthwith be instituted and fully prosceated against the old contractor and his bondsmen under the contract for said work.” SENATOR HIGGINS’ RESOLUTION. And now Senator Higgins wants to know something about garbage collection. ‘This afternoon he offered a resolution instructing the District committee to inquire into the con- duct of the collection of garbage by the health officer of the District, “andwhy a deficiency of $28,130 exists in the appropriation for that object for the current fiscal year, and the committce or any subcommittee thereof is hereby authorized to send for persons or papers, to subpena and administer oaths to witnesses, to employ « stenographer and to re- port the reault of their investigation to the Sere ate.” The resolution wassent to the committee. to audit contingent expenses. TO SELL TXE OLD POLICE STATION. Mr. Hemphill introduced in the Houne today a bill, the draft of which was furnished by the Commissioners, to provide for the sale at auc- tion to the highest bidder of the property in Georgetown now occupied by the police sta- tion honse which has been abandoned. The Commissioners say the location of the ty unfite it for use by the police force, hile the proceeds of the salo wonld form a welcome ad- dition to the revenues of the District. ‘MR.

Senator Blackburn's resolution of investiga- tion into the health office expenditures had not made its appearance when the Senate adjourned yerteniny. ‘Some members of the Seuste Dis trict committee are puzzled to understand how much new information cua be had on the sub- ject.

Witness did. not know where the ailidavit was prepared and did believe there were two separate papers, but thought that one was a part of the other. He agid that Mr. Clagett asked his daughter the questions and that probably half an hour or more was occu- pied in taking the statement. He thought the whole statement was written at his daughter's bedside. “She had not been délirious that day,” he continued. “She was not under the intltence of opiates when she made her state- ment.” “I bad,” continued Col. Hamlink, “another talk with my daughter on Wednesday.

Judge Wilson then objected to all the pre- ceding testimony becanse of ite insufficiency, the fact that the statement was written out be- fore the deceased was thoroughly questioned and because it had not been elearly shown that she fully believed she had no hope of recovery. The court—The threefold objection shonld, I think, be overruled.

Edward Graham, a young colored man, was next -ealled, and testified that he was a house servant at Dr. Burns’, No. 1738 Q street. He was there on the night of the shooting a heard the shots, There were five of them they were fired together, very rapidly. Ite ness said that he ran out and saw a man lying in the street. He didn’t notice any one near the body and went toward it. Several men got there witness did. He heard a noise, a woman's scream, and saw some one running toward 17th street. Cross-examined—The running was on the north side of the street. Don't know whether it was man or woman. There were first three shots, a pause, and then two more. He said that no one ever talked with him about the number of shots, but that he talked of them in the district attorney's office. At the conclusion of this witness’ testimony, 12:40, a recess was ordered until 1:15. AFTER RECESS. When the recess was ordered many ladies begged the court officers to allow them to re- tain their seats during the recees, and many of them had their luncheon with them. But every one was excluded. When the doors were reopened an indiscriminate struggle for ad- missio® ensued, and the room was crowded until the court ordered that no more people be admitted. ry, Gili MR.

The witness stated that his son was five feet nine inches high and was twenty years old. Mrs. Schneider was two years older. would be obliged to ask permission to put his hat and overcoat on. Judge Bradley—“I have noticed the same thing, and it is all due to the overcrowding of this room by all sorts of people, dirty and otherwise. ‘The atmosphere yesterday was rotten.” HEARD FIVE SHOTS FIRED.

The bill declared that the building should be built of iron and glass or other satisfactory ma- trial, that it should be erected on a piece of public parking, that it should cost $90,- 000 and ‘that the money . should come out of the United States treasury. The stalls were tobe rented to florists and the rental turned in as any other government receipts. In due season the Dill was referred by the Senate committee to the Commissioners for report and it came back with a most emphatic indorsement from Commissioner Douglass. On Friday the bill will probably be considered by the Senate committee, and there is @ possibility ofa favorable report. 4 SOCIAL SUPPORT. From the beginning the measure has been most ardently supported by a number of society leaders who objected to the mingling of codfish and floral beauty, as at present visible and smeliable in the Center market. To assist in’ bringing abou: this desirable end several tadies have recently been quite active. e two picturesin the committee room were made by a New York firm-of architects at the instance of Mrs. Hobson, sister of Mrs. Levi P. Morton. ‘The lurger of these two sketches represents the building ae it would appear Were it built. It is two stories in height and shaped somewhat like a double L, the space in the central tront being converted into an open court, in which plants grow luxuriantly and a fountain exposes several yards of Potomac water mounting nward and then failing into a highly decorated basin.

Another dude is in- specting a trayful of boutonnieres, the tray bemg- supported by an eccentricall; but enthetictlly: arrayed flower girl. The re. mainder of the scenc is composed principally of ladies in stylish coxttmesewith inauimate ac- companiments, such as tubs, flower pots and & protusion of growing color. OPPOSITION To THE BILL. Opposition to the bill is, however, already assuming shape. There are those in Congress who are of opinion that if any of the figrists desire separate accommodations they should incorporate and put up their own building on their own ground. These objectors hold that the government hasno right to build stores for the uses of any trade, and if it has then, they contend, it should build a row of them on Pennsylvania avenue from 7th to 9th stcsets and rent them to some of the hun- dreds of business wen who would clamor for such a location on the terms advanced by the bill. It is stated that a local capitalist is will- ing, if rnment will donate the site, to Bt up 000 building at 9th streetand ouisiuna avenue, and in it run @ florist’s busi- ness for himself. Then more thar a little opposition is prom- ised from thove who ojecs to the placing of any building pu a government reservation, and who will object mare than strenuously to any endeavor which would result in the govern- ment surrendering a square foot of parking for purely private purposes.
