The n Adopted by the Secretary of the Treasury. Secretary Charles Poster makes no secret of his purpose of repairing ma far as possible with- | legitimate bounds the serious inroads on government gold holdings resulting from the recent heavy shipments of that metal to Euro- pean countries. the policy #0 successfully employed at earlier periods of his administration the gold balance of the treasury was simi- menaced by foreign imfluences.

Awit seldom happens that any rg@ amount of money is suddenly required at non-subtreasury points {t can readily be seen that actual transportation of the money is farely necessary. The privilege of receiviny the government rate of transportation of money for private business purposes is ex- tended only in case of gold deposits. The progress of the plan in the present temper of the money market will be watched With considerable interest. soseni ies REE OLEOMARGARINE FRAUDS, | Several District Dealers Found Sell Article Without Stamping It. It was rumored today that the internal rev- enue bureau bad discovered a wholesale viola- law on dealing in the savory oleomargarine. A Stax reporter investigated the matter at the Treas- ury Department this afternoon, and learned that twelve local grocers had been detected selling oleomargarine without having paid the 5 This tion ¢ special tax, but that they will be lightly dealt | with for the reason that no evidence of tnten- tional fraud has been found, except, possibly, in one or two cases. These are still under in- vestigation by Agent Grimson, and will prob- ably be referred tothe United States district attorney for prosecution if he deems the evi- dence at hand sufficient for suchaction. Deputy Commissioner Wilson, who has special charge of the oleomargarine division, said this after- noon that no indictments had been found and that it was not ltkely that any would be asked for. He said he believed most of the dealers had acted in good faith and were not_aware of | the true character of the merchandise, or in other words, they had been innocently selling | ole for butter. " He said it was possible in one or two of the cases that the dealers knew the true charactet of the commodity and had willfully violated the law, but that 10 far = He | fact bad not been clearly established. added that the cases might all be compromised by payment of the special tax. ‘The identity of the dealers could not be ascertained at the department. | DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. | | HE SEES No OBJECTION. of the route of the East End railway runs through the grounds of the Washington asylum and before the Com- missioners decided upon a report ty Congress upon the matter they submitted the bill to Intendent Stoutenburgh for bis views on the subject.

Also that the company maintain at ite own expense a guard or watchman at the entrance and exit to the grounds of the asylum.” THE CHARGES TO RE INVESTIGATED. Some days ago Mrs. Annie Nelson and Mrs. Henrietta Cook complained to the Commission- ers that on November 19 they were arrested by Officer Pasco on suspicion of being connected with the policy business and subjected to great indignities at the station in being required to be stripped of their clothing and be searched The officer denies the charges and he ix sub- stantiated by the station keeper. Commissioner Roms, however, recommends that in view of the ositive statements of the women there should be worn charges preferred against the officer with regard to the matter of being required to | remove clothing, summoning both women as witnesses.

Aggressive Warfare on It by the Pennsyl- vania Railroad's Representative The capital representatives of the Pennsyl- vania railroad have been actively engaged to- day in preparing a deep and yawning grave for | the Norfolk and Western railroad bill. As heretofore announced in Tue Star, the | Pennsylvania has abandoned its tactics of mere | Slibustering in its opposition to the bill and has entered upon a campaign of active aggres- sion. ‘The motion of the Pennsylvania Railroad ; Company, presented through several members of the District of Columbia committee, to have the bill recommitted, thereby permanently de- priving the bill of its present place on the House calendar, will be argued before the Dis- trict committee tomorrow morning. The pres- ent indication is that the Pennsylvania will have enough votes in committee to carry the | motion for recommittal and Chairman Hemp- | hill will be compelled to ask the House to re- | commit it. Then the trouble will commence, and it is in | anticipation of this crisis that the’ Pennsylva- | nia’s representatives are working today. The motion to recommit ix debatable and « num- ber of members are ready to represent to the House the interests of the citizens and mer- chants of Washington in this matter. Before the House will be told that the Norfolk and miles of road in active operation, tap- ping the country between Norfolk, Va., | Columbus, Ohio,” and Memphis, is now | within thirty miles of Washington, simply asking permission to enter this city and give access to the great truck farms and market" gar- dens of tidewater Virginia, the coal mines of West Virginta and the new passenger route to the south and west. ‘There will be a very lively time in the House tomorrow if the motion to recommit is made. sep ike aia ENTS CONCLUDED THE ARGUM In the Schnetder Murder Case—A Decision Not Expected Before Next Month, Mr. Jere M. Wilson this morning concluded his argument on bebalf of Howard J. Schneider of the latter from the judgment of death for the murder of the latter's wife. Mr. Wilson occupied a day and one-half in the delivery of his argument, and from its commencement to its close held the closest attentior of the bench and the crowded court room. He touched upon every point at issue in the case, dwelling most | pethaps, upon the selection of the f rred to the fact that the district attorney bad #nid that the y in the case left no doubt of the de t, and contended that had the evidence been’ fully and impartially considered and the wrongful effects of the court's charge taken away from | the jury no such verdict as rendered would | ever have been reached. He dwelt at some length upon the contention of the government that no iil feeling had been shown to exist in the heart of Frank Hamlink | against the defendant, ridiculing the idea at no resentment and bad feeling had been caused by the secret marriage between the defendant and his wife, and asserting that it wax unreasonable | toeven imagine thatit did not result in an al- tereation between the young men the night of the shootin In concluding his argument Mr. Wilson said that he meant nothing offensive or personal in hix criticism of the actic urt below, but he was compelled tos: imade many and most grievous errors. had, in his charge, arrayed the evidence of the governmen* and then had made argument against the de- endant Bat no man was infallible and © recognized that it was human to err.

A Hearing on the McMillan Bill by the CITIZENS OF SOUTH WASHINGTON PRESENT THREE PLANS, KITHER OF WHICH WOULD BE PREFERA~ BLE TO THR PRESENT CONDITION OR THAT PROPOSED IX TRE BILL. The committee of citizens from South Washington appointed to present the objeo- tions of the citizens of that section to the McMillan railroad bill were present in the board room at the District building to discuss the railroad situation. Mr. James F. Shea read the general objections to the bill, a copy of which appeared in Taz Stan of yesterday. Mr. N. H. Shea then unrolled a number of maps of the section affected and explained sev- eral new schemes for relieving Maryland and Virginia avenues, TO CHANGE TRE DEPOT. The first plan presented was that which is embodied in the Lee bill and provides for the moving of the depot to squares 577, 578, 579, 580, 581 and 582, which the railroad company is to purchase; the elimination of the tracks onVir- ginia avenue from 3d to 8th, and the abandon- ment of the tracks on 6th street and Maryland avenue. In lieu thereof to run a track from the tunnel along K to 8th and on an elevated track across the fints to t! as elevated tracks along Water street. provides for a connection with the main track on K street and the depot by a track along Dela- ware avenue. THE MISSOURI AVENUE ANDGTH STREET PROJECT. Another plau was to vacate the present depot | and all of the tracks leading to said depot and | on Maryland and Virginia avenues between lst | street wost and the Long bridge, and to sub- stitute for thoxe tracks and depot a depot at the | | south corner of Missouri avenue and 6th street, |connect them with the main track bya line | running diagonally through squaros 535 and | 536; thence along the north side of Vir- |givia avenue to connect with the main | track at Virginia avenue and Ist street, west. | For the through travel ona elevated liné run- | | ning through the squares between I and K | streets south, from 2d astreot east to Water street, thence parallel to Water street on pri- vate property to connect with Long bridge, | with a branch connecting link on Delaware | avenne between the elevated and the eurface tracks. THE THIRD PLAN. | _ Another plan presented abandons the prosor | depot and the tracks connecting it and those on Virginia and Maryland avenues from Ist street west to the Long bridge. It provides for the purchase and use for passenger and freight lepots of squares 578, 579, 580 and 592. A sur- face road over the same route on the same plan as the elevated toad in the previous plan is also provided. A line connecting the through line with the passenger depot is to run through squares to bé purchased between | Ist and 2d streets west. ‘The last plan abandons the present passenger depot as well as connect- ing tracks and the tracks on Virginiaand Mary- land avenues between South Capitol street and | the Long bridge. It locates the tracks for | through and local travel on the same route by | | surface tracks as provided by the previous bill. | It places the passenger depot in squares 410 and 434 and connect {t with main tracks by a/ ine through the squares between 7th and 8th streets west. After Mr. Shea had presented the different plansand the gentlemen present had hada chance to point out the objectionable features | to the McMillan bill as it appeared to them Mr. | James L. Barbour rove and aid that so fa1 | South Washington was concerned the citizer would infinitely prefer the railroad to remain | ae it was than for Congress to pass the MeMil- | lan Dill as at present worded. WHAT EAST WABHINOTON HAS TO SAY. Mr. M. L Weller said: “I would like to be | heard on the property rights and interests of | the citizens of East Washington, whom the South Washington committee have evidently overlooked in their endeavor to protect their | own interests, even at the sacrifice of | their neighbors.” For many years, he said, the people of South Washington had a grievance against the railroad company, but if the views of the people represented by the | South Washington committee were to prevail | the citizens of East Washington would have a | far greater grievance against them. He main- tained that the interests of the railroad in East Washington are greater than in the southwestern portion of the District, and ho thought that the gentlemen present | Were actuated by selfish instincts, expecially 20 when they said they preferred the’ present con- dition of affairs to the change suggested by the McMillan bill. ‘The greatest hinderance to private business and public comfort in the whole section of the city was at New Jersey | avenue, and more people have been killed at that crossing than at any two other crossings in j the city. “The people of Enst Washing- ton, he said, are not inconsiderate of other | people's welfare, but for years they have been | clamoring for relief from grade crossings, a subject that is entitled to the respectful con- | sideration of every man, woman and child in | the District of Columbia. He wanted to put himself on record as saying that the McMillan | bill, even if it were to pass in its entirety, would be far preferable to the pre ent outrageous condition _ of airs. The proper thing for the South Washington citizens to have done would have been to take the McMillan bill, eliminate the objectionable features and then lay the matter before the Commissioners. It was all nonsense, he said, to think that the depot would ever ke removed from its present location. He bad the honor to represent the citizens’ commitee of one hun- dred before the congressional committee, and he found out then that the railroad waslikely to remain forever where it is, Shea here interjected: “Mr. Weller, sup- Long bridge as well | Tt alto | | Part of the proposed route of this railroad ix | Mef of poor Virgini IMPORTANT SURVEYS. Progress of the Work In Charge of the Coast Survey. The annual report of Prof. Mendenhall, the saperintendent of the coast and geodetic sur- vey, bas been sent to Congress. It is made up largely of detailed reports of the operations of surveying parties during the fiseal year ended June 30, 1892, of which there were more than eighty-five in the field actively employed. In the work of importance was included the con- tinuation of the surveys of the northeastern boundary lakes, the completion of which will afford data for the location of a part of the boundary line between the United States and Canada. Other important work included the beginning of the resurvey of Boston harbor; the comple- ton of the reaurvey of Nantucket Shoals; the connection of the longitude determinations coming westward from the Atlantic const with those coming eastward from the Pacific; the re- survey of Mobile bay and entrance: the ad- vance toward a junction in Colorado of the transcontinental triangulation proceeding west- | ward from the Atlantic coast with that proceed- ing eastward from the Pacific; the completion of the observations for the variation of Intitude at three widely separated stations in co-opera- tion with the work of the International Geodetic Association, and the progress toward compie- tion of the surveys in Alaska for tho more exact determination of the geographical posi- tion of Mount St. Elias of its height and dis- | tance from the coast. ie eee An Important Harbor Rights Decision. The important case of Henry L. Yesler, Pluintiff in error, ve, the board of harbor line commissioners of the state of Washington, in- volving harbor rights of great present and im- mense prospective value along the water front of Seattle, was yesterday dismissed ho United States Supreme Court for want of juris- diction, Yosier ix the owner of wharf property at Seattle and sought by writ of prohibition to restrain the state board of harbor line commis- | siouers from changing the harbor lines, it being the purpose of the commission to ¢o locate the harbor lines that they would include within them Yesler’s property. Yesler claimed that | this action would amount to a deprivation of | Property without due process of law, contrary | To'the provisions of the Constitution, The court below decided against him, holding that, as against the state a literal owner simply as such owner can assert no valuable rights below the line of ordinary high tide. ‘The Supreme Court dismissed Yesler's appeal chiefly on the ground ‘that the affidavit pro- sented was so defective as not to fairly rai the federal question.
