Judges or Juries to Give Awards at the World’s Fair. Curcago, Jan, 13.—Director General Davis and John Boyd Thatcher have fallen out over the question of judging the primroses at the fair. ‘The primrose show, nearly 5,000 stroug, has been waiting several days for a jndge jury. as the case may be, to make the examination on which awards will be given. Director Ggneral Davis insists that juries shall pass on the exhibits, while John Boyd Thatcher sticks to his original plan of having them ex- amined by a single expert. Col. Davis sent in the names of a list of well- | known florists from which a jury could be j chosen. Mr. Thatcher, as chairman of the committee of awards. ignored these recommendation! nominated Henry Pfister to judge the roves. Pfister is the gardeuer of the Vhite House conservatory at Wavbington, and, as Mr. | | Thatcher says, “*knows primroses from A to Z.”" disagreement between Director Gen- TT ost, because Col. Davis has attacked the whole planof single judges at the far. It is in deference to the wishes of exhibitors that Di- rector General Davis has taken a stand against the one-judge plan.

Senators Discuss It and Refer It to the L! brary Committee. | ‘The Senate bill to establish a free public and departmental brary and reading room was taken up in the Senate this morning and after some discussion was referred to the Senate committee on the library for their action. The bill was called up by Mr. Wolcott. who explained the objects of the measure and outlined the benefits to be derived from it by the citizens of the District. He said there would | be plenty of room in the building in which | it was proposed to locate the library and | it would be a happy day for him when in this way the foundation could be lnid fora hbrary which might at some future time be a subject of to the city and be housed ina building of its own, BOOKS NEEDED IX DEPARTMENTS. ‘Mr. Sherman remarked that he thought that transfer, as many of these Looks were of the rentest importance and value. He snggested that an amendment to the bill be inserted giv- ing to the heads of the departments the dis- cretion of naming the books which should Le transferred to the proposed library { Mr. Morrill concurred in the suggestion of | Mr. Sherman and offered the amendment, “in | the tion of tho bead of the departments.” ‘olcott was unwilling that the discr tionary power rhould beso broad and he offered | | an amendment which excinded from the trans- | | fer such books used and necessary for depart- mental us TRE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY. ‘Mr. Morgan inquired whether the bill had been acted on by the joint committee on library | And seid he was not willing that books should | { bo taken from the Congressional Library with- | out the conrent of that committee. He moved | | that the bill bo referred to the joint committee | on library. | be removed by adding to the section relating to | the transfer of certain books from the Con- | gressional Library an amendment which would | ouly allow the transfer of such books as were | approved by the joint committee. ir. Morgan replied that it was his opinion that the citizens of the District should have free access to the Congressional Library and he would advocate a bill which would allow this privilege. He did not favor the taxing of the people of the District for a library which they never had any benefits from. It was with object in view that he wished the bill re- ferred. THE Post OFFICE BUILDING. Mr. Allison said that he considered the great- est defect in the bill to be that portion of it whick located the proposed library in the new post office building, for he knew that every portion of that building would be occupied by the purposes for which it wax intended. Mr. Call agreed with Mr. Allison and vocated the suggestion made by Mr. Morgan that the citizens of the District should have} free uccess to the Congressional Li- brary. Mr. Cockrell moved an amendment striking | out the provision which provided for supplying employes of the several executive departments with books through accredited departmental messengers. He did not know how many messengers it | would take to supply the wants: of all the | | clerks in the departments and be thought this feature was an expensive and ornamental one that whould be removed. Before any action was taken on any of the ‘oposed amendments Mr. Morgan modified is motion so that the bill should be referred to the Senate committee on the library and by 10 ad- unanimous consent the bill was so referred. | ~~ FINANCIAL A MMEKCIAL, The following are.the opening and closing the New York Stock Market, as reported Wire to Corson & Macartney. 1419 F stree: prices of Y special | ‘K Islan Re Silver Ctf's Nash: Manhattan.

Assoon as the Commissioners received the report of Capt. Fiebeger on the McMillan bill | today they approved its general fentures and | designated Capt. Rossell to write the re- | port which is to be submitted to Congress. | This he did, and this afternoon the Commis- | | sioners formally answered the request of the Senate committee for an expression of their | ‘McMillan bill in the following | Committee on the District of Columbia, Senate: Senator: | In reply to your reference to them of Senate No. $477, “To provide for doing away with | certain grade crossings on the lines of the Bal- | timore and Potomac railroad in the city of | Washington, District of Columbia, and for , other purposes.” the Commissioners have the | honor to submit the following: | ‘The object desired by all in fixing the routes and termini of railroads in cities is to bring passengers and freight to the most convenient points with as little inconvenience to the citi- zens as possible. Wher several railroads come into a city, gen- erally, the best solution is to bring them in to- gether and make nse of union depote and stations. ‘This may either be done by a separate company owning and operating the terminal roads, &c., or | by mutual concessions by the companies them- | selves. Thove arrangements are generally an- | tagonized by competing iines, bat are apt to be advantageous to the public. The Commissioners outlined to Congress n. | plan of this kind in a letter to Hon. John J. | ngalls, chairman Senate committee on the | District of Columbia, dated April 11, 1890. Again, when railroad facilities are firet | Mr. Hoar auggested that the difficulty might | brought to a city the advantages to the citizens | Wb are to great that gr lities are | given them. Later, as the cities grow, the in- conveniences and damages become more and more apparent and gradually complaints in- crease and demands are inade for changes. The railroads are also, by this time, in a position to be able to afford expenditures in this line. They should, it seems to the Com- missioners, #0 far us possible, be kept off public streete and parks. With « view to this they | should be required to purchase and, for their protection, be given the right to condemn a line of equares. ‘This would give the road control of all ator- ge property and would in this way pay them handsomely. Or, as an alternative, streets should be selected either near the boundaries of the city or along which but few im- Provements have been made. With this view the Commissioners forwarded to you by letter of July 14, 1892, scheme for bringing the railroad down K strect to Water street and by Water street to the Long bridge. in this case they are now of the opinion that the road should be required to ay all the squares along Water street and build the road off the street through their prop- If, however, the railroad is to remain on Vi ginia and Maryland avenues as now, the Com- missioners would respectfully call their letter to you, date which it is proposed to vacate the mall ard put the station at the intersection of the avenues, ‘The Commissioners desire to state further that in cass the railroad is to be permitted to ccoupy the mall and the streets and reserva- tigns now used by them that either by depress- ing or raising their tracks they shall leave free for use all cross streets. They believe that an elevated track would more nearly entisfy the conditions than a depressed track. The plan proposed by the bill of a haif- nken track blockades entirely many streets and puts bridges inuch above the level of the streets along other streeta. If, however, « bill | ia to become a law which is to solve the prob- lem in the may proposed in this bill the | as preposed in the appendix to J.

With respect to the Long bridge the Commis- sioners are of the opinion that the railroad com- | | proved by the chief of engineers United States army, to accommodate both the public and the | railroad, and that they shall keep the same in | perfect repair. With reterence to the use of the mall pro- posed by this bill the Commissioners refer to the report made by the officer in charge of pub- lic buildings and grounds.

Bryant from the chamber of commerce of West Su- perior, Wis, resulting in the opening of Gth street would furnish another thorougafore to South Wash- ington, which is greatly needed, the number of stich thoroughfares being limited by the mall | itself. | In closing the Commissioners desire to call | attention to the fact that in their upinion the | elevated construction (which would only | close four north and south streete—5th, 6th, 18th und 13!j—and would leave | open ail east and west streets), provided | steel trenching is used, would gain the same | object of avoiding grade crossings and would | bo much to the advantage of the city; also that | the increased depression recommended by | them would make the streets less open for | travel in iauch better condition to be used than | by the depression called for in this bill. The change recommended by them with ref- erence to the Long bridge would result in mov- ing a menace to the city from flooding and also give increased facilities for the railroads and | for the public using the _ bridge. They are of the opinion that the cost | of the work and the damages should be paid the railroad, and it would give to them faci ties which they have been anxiously wanting for along time and permanently leave them | in advantageous position. The cost of the railroud of the depressed tracks would be about one-half of that for an elevated track, and the maximum would be about $3,000,000, exclusive of the Long bridge. The mmissioners also call attention to the plan | ig | submitted by the citizens of South Washington, with sketc drawn by them. They will be found in © Fiebeger's report. OFFICE INQUIRY.
