At a recent hearing on the bill to relieve the produce dealers of taxation the Commissioners promised before finally reporting upon same to find out if such tax existed in other cities. Accordingly they wrote to Philadelphia, New York and Cincinnati. Keplies were received showing that in Philadelphia hucksters paid $1 for wheelbarrow, 25 for one-horse ragon and $15 for two-horse wagon. In New York hucksters paid €5 for first year and 50 cents per year for renewal. Fee for farmers’ wagons at market, 25 cents, In Cincinnati dealers in’ stores ay €250 per annum.

AGAINST RAPID TRANSIT. ‘The Commissioners say in a letter to Con- gress today that they are not prepared to recommend the enactment of H. R. bill 6915, “To provide rapid transit on streot railways in the Disirict of — Co- lumbia,” which was referred to them for their views. In view of the fact that it has caused yours of effort to secure the enactment of alaw requiring the placing of electric wires under ground the Commissioners recommend adverse action upon this bill, NO YURTHRR ACTION RECOMMENDED. ‘The Commissioners have etated in to the reference to them of H. R. till 1076, “To incorporate the Trans-Anacostia Railway Company,” that im view of the favor- able" report made by them on bill “To incorporate the East and West Wash- ington Traction Railway Company,” they recommend that no further action be taken upon this bill, since the former road will con- nect with the Marlborougk rond in Maryland and furnish all the railroad facilities inside of the District of Columbia which it is the object of this bill to give. SIX MONTHS’ DELAY. The Commissioners have recommended that House resolution 108, “extending the time in which certain street railroads compelled by act of Congress approved August 6, 1890, to change their motive power from horse power to me- chanical power ior one year,” Le amended by inserting the words “six months” in lieu of the words “one year” inline 7and enacted as so amended. ‘THE COMMISSIONERS CONGRATULATED. The Commissioners have received a letter from the Woman's Christian “Temperance Union congratulating them upon their recom- mendation for a girls’ reform school and urging that the school be built upon grounds separate, distinct and entirely remote from those now occupied by the boys. NAMES ERRONROUSLY PUBLISHED. ‘The collector of taxes today handed the Com- missioners alist of names erroseously pub- lished in the’ delinquent tax list, and, as the office is to blame for the mistake, recommends that they be eliminated from, the list if such action be legal.

Strangely © few members who really believe, or who skillfully affect to, that executive session news has escaped only through the medium of yea. The Senators who so ives arc in a remarkably small \other Senator, who never gives out execu- tive information, but who knows more obout the modus operandi than he does about the modas vivendi, said it was a shame to put the Senate officials under @ cloud by excluding business to transact. ‘They secrecy by oath,” said he, “and were they false to the trust’ we onee favored them man from a posi- vate employ of working for. Every Sonator who knows anything is fully aware of the fact that he or some other Semptor gives ‘out every scrap of tho news that escapes." Senators still display marked disinclination discuss that lengthy se on Thursday, when the people of the country supposed they were deep in public busines and they were gossiping about newspaper enterprise and reportorial vigilance.

THE ALEUTS NOT SLAVES. They Are Said to Get Large Pay for Little Work and to Be Prospering. Acablegram from London quotes Sir Charles Tupper as saying that the inhabitants of the Aleutian Islands, who do the sealing for the seal company, are slaves and are in a miserable condition. Agentleman who is familiar with the sealing industry, and has spent some time on the Aleutian Islands recently, said to @ Stan re- porter today: “This statement entirely misrep- resents the condition of the inhabitants of these islands. They are not in a condition of slavery. Comparatively speaking they have a soft thing of it. They have but about six weeks of work during the year, for which they get, when the ordinary sealing is allowed, about’ $400 each ‘here is no control exercived over 0 what other work they shall do. ‘he rouble about their doing anything be- is sealing that there is but little else for them to do. The islands are not fit for agriculture and never will be. ‘The only thing that has furnished them any considerable occupation, besides sealing, been the bunting of the sable fox, which’ bas been very profitable to them. That has had to be stopped for a while to prevent the destruc- tion of the auimels, These people, are not savages, but they are not fully civilized, and there has to be a certain guardiauship over them by the government agents, operated only for the benefit of the peopie themselves. The islands were not originally inhabited, but these islanders were brought there some thirty years ago by the Russians, Under the old rogime they lived in sod houses, which were practically holes in the ground. ‘They are now provided with very comfortable frame houses free of cost, with @ large school house and a church. All of this is without cost to them. A teacher isemployed for them, and the only expense they is the pay of one of their own num- ber as a preacher of the Grock church. ‘The only restrictions upon them are for their own protection. They are not permitted the free purchase of liquor, nor are they permitted to spend all their’ money wastefully, like children. ‘The stores sell all’ their we ling to o schedule of prices fixed by the government, which is never apy greater than the price of the same thing in San Francisco. The peculiar feature, however, is that the natives are not at liberty to buy Just what they want to in just such amounts as they choose." If they were they would spend ail the money they earn at oue time and be destitute for a greater part of the year. ‘They aro protected ugaiust the sesaptation of display of fancy wares that might deplete their urses if they wore allowed to go ahead and Buy without judgment. In other respects the aré perfectly free. They get paid for the seal- ing, and for whatever other work they do tor the company or for any one who may employ them they get paid a dollar aday. Before the sealing was closed these people had a con- sidertble sum of money in the bauks at San Fraricisco—some 960,000, I think. I know that @ year or so ago I saw a bag of £3,000 thoy haa contributed to be sent to a Greek church in San Francisco. They are rather a good-look- ing people, live comfortably and make money.” ee Legislative Notes of Local Interest.
