IT IS UNCERTAIN What the Senate’s Action Will Be on Repeal. MR. CLEVELAND NOT INDIFFERENT. His Departure Does Not Affect the Conditions of Legislation. THE HOUSE SITUATION. There {s nothing more uncertain today than what the action of the Senate will be on the question of the repeal of the Sherman law. Senators on each side of the question are influenced in their judgment as to what will be done by their convictions a3 to what ought to be done, and there are few who are in a state of mind to form an unprejudiced judgment as to the probabili- tes. The impression is very general that an unconditional repeal of the law can be got through the House by a good majority if there is discreet management of the ad- ministration forces. | ‘The departure of Mr. Cleveland at this time has caused a great deal of talk, und im some quarters there is a disposition to | associate it with the situation In Congress and to try to give to it a signiticance which is not warranted. Mr. Cleveland Not Indifferent. The gratuitous suggestion is made that the President is dissatisfied with the spirit in which his message was receivel, and that, having laid the matter before Con- gress, he feels a certain degree of inditfer- ence as to how they acquit themselves of the responsibility. It is but just to say, however, that this idea ts by no means general." The situation 1s not one which de- mands the presence of Mr. Cleveland at this time and no man who stands with the administration in Congress, who under- stands the situation at all, feels that the repeal men have been deserted, or, in any way, put at a disadvantage by’ Mr. Cleve- land's depgrture. It is not thought that Mr. Cleveland could have anticipated eny better situation from his point of view than that which now exists. ‘That the radical silver men would do all in their power to prevent the repeal of the Sherman law without getting a measure of what they want in its place is @ thing that all men have known. it is well known—to Mr. Cleveland as weil as to the public gen- erally—that under the rules of the Senate it lies in the power of even a small number of Senators to obstruct any legislation which they very much oppose, and at pres- ent there are a large number of Senators who are ready to make almost any sort of a fight for silver. With these tring. he, parent the amount of good feeling that is ‘apparent is a surprise to every one, and the support which is given to the administra- tion is very much stronger than was an- ticipated by the most sanguine anti-silver men. Causes for His Departare. As to Mr. Cleveland's Jeparture, his statement, published in The Star yester- day, corresponds exactly with what would anyhow have been the impr2ssion of all those who know what a strain h¢ has been under since his inauguration. ‘There is man in the United States, no Prattcr what his private Dusineess. trou might be in these hard times, who ha: been under greater mental_and physical strain than has the Presideht. It is uni- versally felt to be surprisii that he has stood up against it as well as he has. There is no doubt that he 1s worn down and that his health has suifered greatly. If there were any real occasion for his remaining here go doubt is feit that he would have postponed his departure as long as any public interests requirel, but as it was there was no more than a renti- mental reason for his staying, agaist the important consideration of his health 1 that | Ee go and get as much rest as possible. | Three Factions im the House. | There are three factions in the House on | tne silver question and consequently three elements to be taken into consideration | While the radical anti-silver men are de- manding the repeal of the Sherman law |and nothing else, and the radical silver {men are declaring that legislation favora- | ble to silver must go with the repeal, much | the stronger element in the House appears | to be that composed of men who want favorable silver legislation added to the repeal act, but if they fall to secure amend- ‘ments favorable to silver will still vote for the repeal.

Little Doing im Wall Street—Disap- pointing Bank Statement. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—Today’'s half ses- sion of the stock market was even more uninteresting than that of yesterday and the limited trading was just as purely pro- fessional. London Cables reported the market there as strong, but nothing doing pending the settlement which begins on Monday. Our market opened firm and higher on very light trading, but almost immediate Weakness was develoned When the failure of the Commercial Bank of Brooklyn,a state institution, capital $101,008, to open its doors this morning, was reported. Only a moder- ate decline was established, however, and then the trading came practically ‘to a standstill, until the bank statement was published, which, proving « disappoint- ment, in that a decrease in reserve and loss of lawful money was shown, where the street had been led to expect’ an increase in both item: ted some selling by the room professionals and the market closed rather heavy at the decline. The weekly statement cf the associated banks is as follows: Reserve, decrease, $2,527,075; loans, in- crease, $3,078,200; specie, decrease, $.3/6,060; legals, decrease, $408,000; deposits, decrease, ¥741,700; circulation, increase, $735,000. While there is apparently a loss in lew- ful money of over five millions, the state- ment does not reflect the real condition of the banks because no part of the rive mil- lion specie arrived yesterday Is shown.

The Prospects of Street Pavi With the incoming of the present city council, there came an expeciation that there would be an {mmediate improvement in the streets of the city, as there was pending in the old council proposals to appoint a city engineer at $2,100 per annum, and to embark in a comprehensive system of street improvement. This plan met at the outset two impedi- ments, one the want of money and the other the want of legal power. It did not seem business-like to employ a §2,0 ¢n- gineer to do $6,000 worth of work; and the street appropriation for the year did not exceed that sum. Besides this, the stuze court of appeals had determined in’ the Chamberlain case at Norfolk that no spe- cial tax could be levied on property adsuin. ing street improvements, but that ¢! ole cost of such betterments must be paid out of the general taxes. ‘The preliminary questions in the case are now before the attorney of the corporation to be answered by him. These are: Can the present debt of Alexandria legally be in- creased, and can a special tax be imposed on property abutting upon street improve- ments? ‘While these questions awalt an answer the question of Alexandria street improvement remains in abeyance. Repairs of the Streets. Superintendent Dobey is doing all that he ean to better the streets with the little money at his command. He can only spend $20 on one job at a time. He has already improved four or five squares and is now at work on Fairfax street, but will come | to King street next week. Very Badly Injured. Scott Butler, an Alexandria laborer, em- ployed at the Hydraulic Brick Works near Waterloo, was caught there in a brick ma- chine last evening and very badly hurt. He was brought down on the railroad train last night and caried to his home on Falr- fax street near Princess street. Notes. ‘The mayor has sent on to the county officials of Fairfax the case of Frank Bal- lenger, charged with assault on W. L. ai- lenworth at Cameron Run crossing. Mr. Allenworth claims that while he was fish- ing in Cameron run he was assaulted ty a gang of men led by Ballenger. The case will be tried first at West End and then at Fairfax Court House. ‘The examination of candidates to be teachers of the public schools will take lace next week at the Washington School Building: on Tuesday and. Welnesday for white teachers and Thursday and Friday for colored teachers. ‘A funeral took place this afternoon. Mr. G. W. Bruffy of the Richmond and.

Report on the Bridges in the District and the Repairs Necessary. PHYSICIANS T0 THE POOR. A Doctor Claims That a Number Are Not in Good Standing. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. C. B. Hunt, engineer of bridges in the District, today made his report to the En- gineer Commissioner for the fiscal year ending June 30, 189. The report also in- cludes the estimates for the year 189-9. The report says that one of the most im- portant items of work done under the ap- Propriation was the reconstruction of a number of small wooden bridges in ‘the county as arch culverts. The removal of of these structures from the st of those needing constant repairs will, Mr. Hunt thinks, prove a relief to the cost of main- tenance. The amount appropriated for the ruction and repair of bridges during the year was $14,000. All of this sum tas expended with the exception of $9.81. Of the appropriation for the ordinary care of bridges, $,l00, which includes the pay of bridgekeepers, and Incidental ex- benses, $4, was expended, leaving a bal- ance of $12.23, The report ‘also gives an account of the repairs to the Washington and Georgetown street car bridge and the P street bridge over Rock creek. Mr. Hunt then goes on to make the fol- lowing recommendations and estimate: It would be an advantage and would sim- plify the work of this division if the two appropriations, for the care of bridges and for the repair’ and construction, were con- solidated into a single one, “for bridges.” As each appropriation is sure to be ex- pended, there seems to be no fair reason for maintaining them separately. The consoll- dation is recommended that this division as well ag the accounting officers may be relieved of a needless work. I would recommend that such action as is necessary be taken to extend to the public bridges the operation of the rule that street railroad companies shall main- tain the roadway between lines two feet exterior to their tracks. If such main- tenance fs a proper charge in the case of a street pavement it is such in a stronger degree in the case of a bridge floor. The railroad’s occupation of the structure fs a valuable privilege, and its practical result is a positive harm to the floor, ‘The estimate submitted in my last annual report for an asphalt roadway on the Aque- duct bridge is not here renewed, since the reconstruction of the floor in wood must be at once undertaken, and the opportunity for substituting a paved construction post- poned. The recommendation made last year in respect to the reconstruction of K street bridge over Rock creek and the Navy Yard bridge are here repeated an of unchanged urgency. The K street bridge is neither suitable nor in every way safe. It is too light and too low. The Navy Yard bridge has carried a very heavy travel for twenty years, and its useful life Is over. The construction of a new bridge over Rock creek on the line of Massachusetts ave. has been mentioned heretofore and is again recommended. The two adjacent pub- Ne bridges to the point of crossing are a mile apart. The right of way for this great and fine thoroughfare have been dedicated west of the creek and expenditures have already been made in grading it. For the annual appropriation for 189% the sum of $25,000 “for bridges” is recommend- ed. Tt fs understood that the War Department has secured a large amount of valuable de- tailed information with respect to the con- dition of the submarine portions of the piers of the Aqueduct bridge over the Poto- mac. The action called for by the condi- tions found to exist cannot be stated here since the report thereon ts not known, but it is proper to express the hope that the value of the investigation shall not be lost, but that suitable effective action based thereon shall result. The District appropriations for bridge work have not permitted the necessary ex- penditures for stab an examination: still less are they able to stand the expense of any remedial measures, which, from thelr nature, are certainly costly. tatement of estimates: For bridges, 1895... . $25,000 Reconstruction of mavy yard bridge, southeast... esses 000 Reconstruction of K street bridge... 20,000 New bridge, Massachusetts avenue, over Rock creek, 175,000 Protest From Brightwood Avenue. A dozen property owners along Bright- wood avenue, who recently received notice to make certain removal of fences, houses &c,, from thelr property, have protested to the Commissioners against any contem- plated taking of such property, and they urge upon the Commissioners the Injus- tice and damage that would result if the District continues its present attitude in relation to the widening of the avenue. A Medical Lette: Charles Milton Buchanan, M. D., of this city, has written @ letter to the Commis- sioners relative to the status of the phy-; sicians to the poor, the police surgeons and the resident physicians at the Washington Asylum. He claims that one-third of the | physicians to the poor are illegal practi- tioners. Of the four police surgeons in the Dis- trict Dr. Buchanan questions the license of | one, while the resident physician to the Washington Asylum he puts down squarely as not a licentlate. ‘Of the twenty physicians to the poor Dr. Buchanan says that seven are unitcensed, and hence illegal, practitioners:eight are not members of the Medical Association of the District, and hence in poor professional standing; fourteen are not members of the society, and hence not in the best profes- sional standing. He concludes his letter by laying special stress upon the fact, ay he claims, that one-third of the physicians to the poor in the District are illegal prac- titloners. The inference, he says. to be drawn from such a state of affairs is ov- vious, Short Paragraphs. Mr. W. F. Morsell, who lives on Irving street in Cooke Park, West Washington, has written to the Commissioners to ask that shade trees be placed on the north side of that street, and that at least one moro gas lamp be placed there as there is but one now at the west end of the street which by no means suffices to tllu- minate its whole length. Health Officer Hammett has reported to the Commissioners that there is stagnant water in alley rear of Kreamer street, Le- tween 16th and lith streets, and that a sewer or drain is needed there. He also reports offensive odors from perforated cover on yent of main sewer, in alley the side of Moses’ storage bullding, 1233-22 2d street. on “Clerk Joseph P. Smith, eighth precinct, has been granted thirty leave on ‘account of sickness. number of property holders on B street north of the Capitol grounds have petition- ed the Commissioners that the street from Ist street west to Delaware avenue east be repaved with asphalt, and that the crown |or transverse arch of the roadbed be re- duced from the present excessively high ridge, so as to make a practicable roadway. United States Treasurer Morgan has in- formed the Commissioners that there is available for the sinking fund for the water stock bonds for the fiscal year 18% the sum of $19,060. ‘The Commissioners have appointed B. P. Babson a private on the police forge, in place of E. W. Mendenhall, who wks re- cently dismissed. Health Officer Hammett has called the attention of the Commissioners to the con- dition of the sewer at the northwest cor- ner of 6th and N streets, which is obstruct- ed and has been in this condition for the past month. The attention of the Commissioners has been called to the unsanitary condition of the vacant lot bounded by H and I and 2a and 3d streets southwest. Permit for a Church Batiding.

The removals are said in all cases to be due to the expiration of the incumbents’ tenure.

The Banks Can Certify to Them Also— The Fluctuations in the Price of Silver Controller Eckels will not oppose the movement instituted by certain banks of using $ and $10 checks for business pur- poses under certain conditions. His pusi- tion in the matter is shown in his corres- pondence with Mr. Frank B. Baird of Buffalo, N. Y. fe received the following telegram from Mr. Baird: “A movement is on foot here to pay payrolls in five and ten dollar checks stamped with a rubber stamp as follows: “Payable only through clearing house or in New York exchange.’ This is to parti- ally relieve demand for immediate cur- rency. Does this interfere with the law any more then if checks or drafts of larger denomination were used. and when such checks are drawn on national banks where the party signing same has funts on de- posit, would the law prevent national banks from certifying to five ani ten dollar ghecks, which were stamped “Payable cply through clearing house orm New ¥. exchange” Please answer?” The Controtler'’s Reply. The controller replied by telegraph as follows: “Telegram received. Section 518% pro- hibits national banks from issuing post notes or any other notes to circulate money, except such as are authorized by na- tional bank act. Your proposition appears to suggest the drawing of checks, contain- ing certain conditions as to payment by depositors on banks where they have bal- ances to their credit, such checks to issued by the depositors and not by the banks upon which drawn, to other parties to whom depositors are indebtel. As un- derstood, the proposition appears to in- volve a business contract between the de- Positors and their creditors and in my opin- m such transactions would not constitute a violation of section 518 as the checks referred to will be issued by the d tors and not by the banks. As to certifica. tion of such checks by nat! banks when drawn against deposits to credit of drawers Troan find no legal gbiection.

In July of the present year the bullion value of the dollar was .58052, while the ratio of sil- ver to gold was 28.52. The latter figures represent the lowest values reached in the period named. With one or two exceptions the figures show a steady decline from year to year. ———_—_-e-—_______ MAKING RAILROADS AND MAPS. Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAMP MOSHER, HARPER'S FERRY, W.
