He Wants to Know What the Commissioners Have Done About Permits to Theaters, Senator McMillan is indignant, The Dis- trict Commissioners are responsible for this disturbed condition of affairs. This morning the Senator was informed that the Commis- sioners had granted a permit for the construc- tion of Metzerott Hali, the auditorium to be some twenty or more feet above the level of the street. Almost instantly the Senator went to the telephone and learned from Commissioner Douglass that the information he had received was correct. Mr. Douglass, on learning the Senator's views, promised to call an immediate meeting of the board to give the permit some Feconnideration. Before doing this, however, the Commissioner intimated that the permit was not revokable. Fifteen minutes later the Senator offered a resolution in the Senate and secured an im- mediate agreement thereto. The resolution requires the District Commissioners “to re- port to the Senate forthwith what action, if any, they have taken to make building regulations to carry into effect the joint resolution ‘to reg- ulate licenses to proprietors in the city of Washington, &c.," alo whether the Commis- sioners have issued any permits for the erec- tion of theaters or public halls to be con. structed at any height above the level of the street.” 4 “The granting of buch @ permit as the one which hus been issued for Metzerott’s Hall is outrageous,” said Senator McMillan to a Stan roporter this afternoon, “It is a direct breach of an agreement between the committee and the District Commissioners, We talked te whole matter of building permits over andthe Commissioners agreed to adopt the regulations which are law in Boston, The safety of the public demanded such action and it was only when the Commissi nted to the terms that I promised to refrain from bringing the matter up in the Senate, “The caso with which some men see motes in observing beams go Senator Hoar came tome snd told me that the authorities of DISTRICT IN CONGRESS, = BUILDINGS 18 ALLEYS, WASTING TIME. Praotically Nothing Done in the Honse THE DIPLOMATIC APPROPRIATION BILL Considered, but a Quorum Did Not Vote. INDIAN LAND CLAIMS. Dsbate in the Senate Involving Payment of 83,000,000. THE SENATE. The resolution offered on April 18 by Mr. Jones (Ark.) for payment to tho Choctaw and Chickasaw nations for their interest in lands in the Indian territory (the Cheyenne and Arapahoe roservation) was Inid before the Senate and Mr. Allison took the floor to speak against it, when Mr. Sherman remarked that, as the resolution involved some $3,000,000, he would like to see a quorum pres- ent, ‘The roll was thereupon called, and fifty- five Senators (more than a quorum) responded, Mr. Alhson thereupon proceeded to present his objections to the Fesolution, which, he said, would not ouly commit the Senate to a focommendation to the President for imme- diato payment of nearly 23,000,000, but would also commit the Senate to the reasoning and statements in the printed report of tho com mittee on Indian affairs in direct antagonism to the argument and presentation made by the President of tho United States, ‘The uppropriation had been made in the closing hours of the last Congrese, on an amendment offered to the Indian appropriation bill by Mr. Jones (Ark) without any recom- mendation on the part of the committce on Indion affairs in either house. ‘The pending resolution involved really ten million dollars, becauso there lay behind it another like claim amounting, in round numbers, to about seven million dollars, TRE TREATY OF 1819. His argument led him into a review of the treaty of 1819 with Spain (for the acquisition of territory) and of the various treatics with the Choctaws establishing them in the Indian territory in order to show that the Choctaws had no title to lands west of the ono- hundredth meridian, and that therefore they could have no claim upon the government for such lands. He denied absolutely tho state- ments and reasonings in the report of the com- mittco on Indian affairs as affecting tho title to any lands west of the one hundredth meridian, THE HOUSE. ‘The House was engaged in doing nothing during the first hour of its session this morn- ing. A resolution making the position of assistant journal clerk an annual insteadof a session one having finally been adopted the Houso (by unanimous consent) went into committee of the whole (Mr. Oates of Alabama in the cbair) on the diplomatic and consular spproprintion ill. No QUORUM VOTED. The pending question was on Mr. Hitt's amendment restoring to €7,500 the salary of the minister to Venezuela, No quorum voting call of the committee was ordered. Although 192 members responded to their namos the quorum vanished on the vote on tho amendment, and another call showed that 170 members were present. These constitut- ing a quorum, the tellors resumed business at the old etand. But the business was slack, and again the tellers went into liquidation and another roll cal! was insisted upon, TO SUCCEED WHITELAW REID. Mr. T. Jefferson Coolidge Nominatod as Minister to France. ‘The President today sent to the Senate the nomination of T. Jefferson Coolidge of Massa- chusetts to be envoy extraordinary and minis- ter plentpotentiary of the United States to France, 2 Mr. Coolidge ia about fifty years of ago, of fine personal appearance and very wealthy. He is prominent in Boston's businces and social circles und is at tho head of several financial concerns in that city. Although he has heen frequently offered pub- lie office by the citizens of his state he has never taken it, preferring to continue in active business life.” He wasa member of the Pan- American congress that met in Washington sev- eral years ago. eee THE FRENCH CABLE. Secretary Blaine Makes a Strong Argument Agains Secretary Blaine appesred today before the Senate committee on commerce and made a strong argument in opposition to the passage of the pending joint resolution authorizing the landing of the French cable on the shores of Virginia and South Carolina. The pith of the Secretary's objection was that the French Cable Company. co-operating with the Brazilian government, had an absolute monopoly of the cable privileges between the United States and Brazil, and that if the reso- lution was passed the negotiations which have been in progress for two years looking to the procurement of a concession to an American cable company to enter Brazil would come to nanght. The Secre- tary’s argument was supplemented by a statement made by Solicitor — while the cable company was represented by Messrs. Jeff Chandler and.Eppa Hunton, “who endeavored to contravert ‘the departmental view of the proposed legislation. ‘The Secretary appeared to be in excellent health and made his argument with spirit and emphasis, THE ROCK CREEK PARK. The House Appropriations Committee to Investigate the Condemnation Proceedings. After a few days’ rest the Rock Creek Park question bobbed up again in the House, Judge Jeremiah Wilson and Mr. . A. Lambert appeared before the subcom- mittee of the riation committee this afternoon and made an argument asking that the committeo take some action which would insure the suspension of all proceedings in the appropriation bill for the benefit of the Creck Park until further ac- tion should be taken by Congress. Tho com- mittee has decided to report Mr. Dockery’s res- olution of inquiry, cutting out only the pre- amble and leaving the resolution and providing that the committee on appropriations shall in- vestigate into the condemnation proceed- ings and in fact all other proceedings which have marked the course of the Rock Creek Park.

Senators Dixon and Platt of the committcc on patents yesterday listened to an explane- tion of our patent system as interpreted by Mr. Francis Forbes, a New York patent attorney, who was one of the commissioners to the Madrid convention in 1890. Mr. Forbes spoke in tavor of a bill introduced in Congress providing for the appointment of commissioners to revise the patent laws and urged that the government give its adherence to the conference for the protection of industrial property, held at Paris in 1883. In 1890 a delogation was sent to the conven- tion at Madrid, at which the wubject of trade- marks received consideration, but sinoe then nothing in connection with the abject has been done by the United States. The ponding bill provides for the appointment of commis- sioners by the President, to report, after in- vestigation, in regard to the possible revision of the patent and trade-mark laws in con- formity with this conveation. ANOTHER PROPOSED SHIP CANAL, The House committee on railways and canals today authorized a favorable report on Repre- sentative Dalzell’s bill appropriating #40,000 to pay the expenses of a survey of a route for @ ship canal to connect the waters of Lake Erie from a point at or near Erie, Pa, with the Ohio river at or near Pittsburg. THE NATIONAL BANK INVESTIGATION. ‘The Keystone National Bank investigation was resumed today by the House committee on banking and cnrrency, the examination of Con- troller Lacey being continued. Chairman Bagon said to Mr. Lacey that he desired to havo Mr, Sarden, who eaid be could pick out the items and tell the entrs- men by the handwriting, examine the books. Mr. Lacey stated his willingness that this should be done, though the experts bad prac- tically done the same thing. —_--— DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. To REMOVE THR CORBLESTOXES. ‘The Commissioners have ordered the Ana- costia and Potomac River Railroad Company to remove the cobblestones from the space ocenpied by ite old track near the Navy Yard bridge and repair the same with granite blocks to correspond with the pavement on Iith street. and the Metropolitan Railroad Com- pany has been ordered to pave with asphalt the space around the turutable on East Oapi- tol street, THE ICE BILL AMENDED. The Commissioners today recommended that Senate bill 2994, “To prevent the sale or de} livery of ice within the District of Columbia on the Sabbath day, commonly known as Sun- day,” which was referred to them for their 8 thereon, be amended as follows and en- acted: Section 1, line 6, strike out the words “at depots or offices.” " After the word ‘‘Sun- day” in line 7 insert “nor at depots or offices of ice companies except between the hours of Sand 9o'clock am. and 5 and Go'clock p.m. on that day.” ARGUING FOR THE POOL ROOxS. Lawyer John P. O'Neill, at the head of « large delegation of pool-room owners, calied upon the Commissioners this afternoon to urge the reconsideration of their action in relation to the order of March 21 prohibiting minors from entering pool rooms and closing them after midnight and on Sundays. He presented a long argument, setting forth the injustice of the order and requesting that it be revoked or suspended until the end of the present license year, or that anage limit be inserted in tho order, placing tho limit of age at fourteen years, and holding the boys and not the proprietors responsible for youthful lying. The pool-room owners who had taken out licenses had, he claimed, « vested right and it would be unconstitutional to deprive them of that right. ‘The game of pool, he said, and its exhilarat- ing effects upon mind and’ body is not gener- ally understood, and because of this willfal ignorance it is condemned as possessing vicious tendency. ots POLITICAL 3 Conventions Held in a Number of States Yesterday.

PHILLIPS, ‘THE AUTHOR OF THE LETTER, AND 4 BILL EX- axInEp. ‘The committee on the sesessment of prop- erty in the District still further advanced its work yesterday afternoon. Mr. Duvali was the Jast witness of the day. Mr. BH. Warner, however, Went on the stand again, and in an- wer to the question as to what were bis views on taxation and his remedy for inequalities sub- mitted a letter and the draft of a bill which said carried out his ideas and while mot pre- pared by him bore his name and indorsement. The letter, in substance, said: ASSESSMENTS VICIOUSLY DEFECTIVE “T have beon familiar with everyjassessment made in Washington city for the past thirty years, and there has never been one which Present assessment will be only a repetition of all previous misadventures. The reasou in my judgment is that the basis of all these assess- value of the property, which is always prob- Jematical, instead of the assessment being based upon the annual rental value of the Pronerty. | This is particularly applicable to ‘ashington, where all its real estate has boon subject to a boom caused by the speculation of renl estate operators, “Real estate is worth nothing except iu its capacity to produce rent, or its equivalent, useful occupation by the owner, and the amount of this rent marke its value as certainly as the quantity of gold docs that of « coin, ead poth- ing else does. TRE PARAMOUNT CONSIDERATION. “The first sud paramount consider taxation shonld be equality of bur. The amount of tax men are compelied to pay is not 80 important as that the burden should be equal, and this burden will always be unequal ifassesscrs simply walk or drive along the Public streets, look at the front walla of nouses ‘and on that determine values, Nor are these officials to be blamed, for in no case hat Con- gress given them any more time than emough ‘o drive around the squares of Washington and note their opinions ou the externa! appear- ance of each property. des, how cam any set of men know the Falues of all the lots ap ail the localities of Washington? The whole af- fair, ine word, degenerates into an eatemsive tom of guessing. “But if the rontal value of land be taken as the guide then there is no uncertainty as to im- Proved real estate. For every owner aud every tenaut im looking after their respective interests have solved this question im every case. You may depend upon it every owner is Getting as high rent as ho possibly can for bis Property aud he knows better than any bedy Of assessors cau know its true value. “Phisscheme of arriving at assessment values from rental values has the great merit of boing eminently just and makes every owner pay ac- cording to his means, If he receives €1,000 a Year rent or occupies it himself he wili be compelled to contribute a detinite proportion of it; if only $390, the same proportion. “Nor are there any practical difficulties in this system. Washington is at this moment Yery generally improved by buildings suitable to the location of the land. ¥acant lot, and their value is not one-thou- sandth of the {mproved iots, the msscasors would have simply to determine what would be their rental value i? improved by houses #imi- Jar to those in the vicimity, and this rout value of the vacant land would fix its assessment.” The draft of a bill following out the views in the letter was also submitted by Mr. Warner. MR. PHILLIPS EXAMINED. Mr. Samuel L. Phillips was the author of the letter and draft of a bill providing for a new method of assessment, taking the rental received from property as a criterion, sub- mittol by Mr. Warner, and today the committee, Staking the letter af .a basis, examined Mr. Phillips on his suggestion. Mr. Phillips read his letter and commented upon the various phases of his plan. He remarked that in certain sections speculation had placed a fictitious value upon property and that many of the inequalities in the aswassment resulted from this, In showing why he considered the present system adverse t> the poor man and favorable to the rich he suggested that the assessors could easily assess tho full value of a house worti about £2,000, whereas it would be almost im- possible for ‘them to place a correct value on Kouses worth in the neighborhood of $100,000. In speaking of the assorsment ac- cording to his plan of rty occapied by owners he held that as one-half of the houses of the city were occupied by tenants an casy standard was made by which to judge the rental value of property occupied by owners, It would be easier to 6x the rent of prop- erty than the value. He thought that the assessment on the rent should never exceed 14 per cent, as any higher rate would drive capital away from the city. The present assessment, he thought. would greatly incrense the revenue of the District, but would not Wipe out any of the inequalities Mr. Johnson tned to get Mr. Phillips to give his opinion of the single tax idea, but Mr. Phillips said that he had not considered the question and that it was too broad for him to give «definite an- swer. In answer to Mr. Warner's question the witness tostified that in his belie! values on F street wore greatly inflated, and that in many other sections of the city from one cause or another artificial values had been established. fle quoted, as an exarhple. the prices at which ith street’ property was held some five years ago. ‘The Investigation at the Navy Yard.
