It Wants to Try the Undergrow tem on the 9th Street Line. ‘The Metropolitan Railroad Company wants more legislation regarding its motive power. A bill providing for the same was introduced in the House today by Mr. Meredith of Virginia. The bill is as follows: That the Metropolitan Railroad Company be authorized te equip and operate the line Sys- of their cars along all the streets and ave- | nues in Washington and Georgetown within the District of Columbia where the lines of their road are now laid end operated, except as hereinafter provided, with the underground electric system for the pro- pulsion of said cars, provided, that sald change of said system shall be first made on the streets and avenues as follows: Be- ginning at 41-2 and P streets southwest, thence running north on 41-2 street to Mis- souri avenue, to 6th street, to B street, thence to 9th’ and up 9th street to Florida avenue, and west on Florida avenue to i0th street. It 1s further enacted that said change so | required to be first made as designated in the proviso of the first section of this act shall be commenced by the company with- out unreasonable delay after the approval of this act and shall be completed within one year after the approval, and in the event that the said mode of propulsion by the electric underground system shall prove, after sufficient test and trial by actual nse, to be a practicable and sufficient mode of propulsion, then in that case the said com- pany shall “proceed, in one year there- after, to place. the electric underground system upon every other portion of their Une, including an extension thereof on East Capitol street from Sth to 13th streets, around both sides of Lincoln Square. The company is authorized to issue bonds, secured by mortgages on franchises and other property, to the amount of the ac- tual cost and improvement. 2d EDITION. THE NAVAHOE WINS. Final Decision in the Brenton Reef’s Cup Race. MR. CARROLL'S PLUCK 1S REWARDED. Flag Hoisted on the Successful Yacht. NEXT THE CAPE MAY CUP. pnaenelicentasl NAVAHOE WINS. The American Yacht Captures the Race From the Britannia. LONDON, Sept. 14.—The committee has decided that the Navahoe won the race for the Brenton’s Reef cup. ‘The time given yesterday as the finish of each of the racers was unofficial. The com- mittee has announced the official finishing times as follows Navahoe. ee ‘The committee has calculated that the difference in time in the start, the Dritan- nia having got away first, was 541-2 sec- onds. This would make the Britannia a winner by 21-2 seconds on time allowance alone. These figures, however, do not ac- cord with the estimates made by the cap- tain of the Navahoe, who claims that his boat won the race by nearly a miaute, when the allowance is considered. ‘The dispute, if it can be so termed, as to which boat won has had no effect what- ever upon the relations between Mr. Car- roll and the Royal Yacht Squadron. Their relations are of the most cordial nature, and will undoubtedly continue so. The regatta committee of the royal yacht squadron, with which Mr. Carroll filed his protest, after considering the subject at Touch length, finally awarded him the victory. ‘As soon as the decision of the committee was made known, the Navahoe, which is lying at anchor in Cowes Roads, hoisted the winning flag, and it is now flapping de- fiantly in the breeze. Yesterday the Britan- nia flew the emblem of victory all day, it being taken for granted that she had won the race. Cape May Cap Race Tomorrow. The question of the winner of the Bren- ton’s Reef cup having been definitely de- cided, the race for the Cape May cup,which it had been announced would not be sailed until next week, will take place tomorrow. Both the Navahoe and Britannia are put- ting the final touches to their preparations for their next contest. ‘The course will be the same as that sailed over for the Brenton’s Reef cup—that is, from the Needles, the western extremity of the Isle of Wight, to and around the breakwater at Cherbourg, France, and re- turn, a distance of about 120 miles. Both yachts wili go tonight to the Needles, where they will anchor so as to be in readiness to make an early start in the race in the morning. It has been decided by the regatta committee that they shall start at 7 o'clock. —————— TRAVEL TO THE FAIR So Great From New York That More ‘Trains Will Be Put On. NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—Owing to the great increase in Chicago travel the man- agement of the New York Central and Hud- son River Railroad Company have decided to restore to service, commencing next Sunday, September 17, the “New York and Chicago limited” trains. The first train west bound will leave New York at 10 a.m. ‘Sunday fhe “Exposition Flyer” has proved such @ success that passengers are turned away nearly every day, the full capacity of the train being sold; and to secure accommo- dations on it now ft is necessary to have them reserved three or four days in ad- vance. Another indication of the increase in bus- iness to Chicago is the excursion of the New York Central on Monday last; it car- ricd 1.543 passengers out of the state to the world’s fair. —_——. SILVER COINAGE IN INDIA, What is Thought of the Policy of the English Government. LONDON, Sept. 14—A special dispatch to the Times from Calcutta says that the ac- tion of the Earl of Kimberly, secretary of state for India, in declining to sell India council} drafts yesterday under 15 1-4d per rupee, had a most steadying effect upon ex- change. The dispatch adds that the con- tinued importation of silver attracts atten- tion, and that it scems ridiculous that the government should continue the coinage of silver taken over from the banks, thus add- ing to the redundancy of silver money. ‘The opinion grows that !t would be better to sell the silver yet uncoined and thereby meet the existing demand for the metal for Jewelry manufacturing purposes than allow further silver imports. ve ——_-__ GAGGING THE PREss. PRAGUE, Sept. 14.—In accordance with the imperial decree issued yesterday, sus- pending articles 12 and 13 of the constitu- tional law in this city and its suburbs, five “Young Czech” journals, the utterances of which were offensive to the government, have been suspended. In order to be cer- tain that no further adverse comments upon the tmperial decree shall be published. the government has ordered that all arti. cles intended for publication in Czech pa- Pers must be submitted to the police for approval or rejection, three hours before the Papers co to press. ; One of the provisions of the suspended law has reference to public assemblies. Clubs have been construed to come under this head, and several club houses have been closed, and the funds and parapher- nalia of the organizations seized. The young Czechs are deeply indignant at the action of the imperial government, and there is much suppressed excitement among the political group. The authori- ties are vigilant, however, and it is scarce- ly believed that the anti-German agitation | Will go much beyond legitimate bounds. Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star. NIENNA, Sept. 14.—The decrees pro- claiming a’ state of siege at Pro- vide that no new societies shall be estub- shed without permission and that no pub- llc processions, festivities or welding feasts shall be possible without permission Newspapers also can be suppressed at any time, but the measures do not restrict per- sonal freedom. This is the second time that part of Bo- hemia has been declared in a state of siege since the existence of the present Austrian constitution. The declaration of a state of siege at Prague has long been expected and was Tesolved upon by the council of ministers of August 22 The agitation directed by the young Czechs, who first only hnd the object of securing the recoznition of Bo- hemia as a separate state similar to Hun- gary and the coronation of the emperor as king of Bohemia recently, has assumed a distinctly anti-dynastic character and it is against this seditious agitation that yester- day’s decrees are chiefly directed. Unpatriotic demonstrations were frequent on the emperor's birthday and since then the fmperial coat-of-arms and double | eagles over the post boxes and public of- fices in Bohemia have been besmattercd with filth and the Austrian flag has been publicly insulted. The twenty-second anniversary of the | publication of the Imperial rescript prom- [ising home rule to Bohemia was the occa- sion of fresh agitation. The officials who dissolved disloyal meetings were hooted and the government thereupon decile4 to | issue yesterday’s decrees, which were carded on the walls at 3 o'clock in the | morning, the billposters being protected by armed police. —_—_.

Not « New Idea, but Based Upon the Successful Working of the French System. Dill, which hes already attracted consider- able attention, and which is regarded the most probable solution of the question, if any solution in the way compromise can be had. ‘The amendment submitted is not a idea at all in finance, but is based upon of that of the United States, and with in- ternal commerce and business enterprise inferior to the United States, is maintain- ing, without difficulty, on a full parity with gold, at @ ratio of 15 1-2 to 1, $750,000.00 of silver. The limit of Senator Faulkner's amend- ment, including subsidiary silver and stand- ard doliars, is 380,000,000. It provides, first, for the coinage of the bullion now in the treasury, which, at its colnage value, would amount to $174,000,00, at the rate of $3,000,000 per month, and authorizes the purchase (at the market price of bullion, say % cents per ounce) of 1,550,080 ounces per month. This bullion is not to be coined until after all the bullion now tn the treasury is coined, unless, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Treasury, the business demands of the authorized to colm it. either into quarter, authe 0 coln ‘it, either in halves or standard dollars. “fing jut after all the bullion now in the ury is coined the amendment provides for the coinage of $3,000,000 monthly of the sil- ver purchased under the amendment, until the aggregate silver coinage, including sub- sidiary coin and standard ‘shall ag- Eregate $300,000,000. Tbe amount of silver bullion that would be ultimately purchased under this amend- ment may be briefly shown as follows: We now have 419.332,00 standard dollars and $77,000.00 of subsidiary coin, aggregat- ing $496,382.00), to which must be added the cotaage value of the silver bullion now in the treasury, amounting to $174,000.00, eg- Bregating $670,332.00, leaving $130,00,000 less silver coinage than the requirements of the amendment, or the purchase of about iM,- 00,000 ounces of silver, which purchase would extend over a period of more than ‘The retirement of the sflver certificates and treasury notes issued in payment for the bullion purchased under the act of July 14, 1890, and national bank notes under it ‘would not only bring the entire silver coin- age into active circulation, but would also bring into active circulation our $2.50 and & gold pieces. - + e+______ GUNS FOR THE BATTLE SHIPs.

Secretary Gresham has been very revere- ly criticised in anti-Chinese circles in con- sequence of the report that he had inform- 4 the Chinese minister that this govern- ment did not propose to enforce the Geary act pending further legislation on the sub- ject by Congress. That put him im the at- Utude of an executive officer giving notice to a foreign government that he did not propose to execute the written law of his country. This would be a dangerous posi- tion for him to be in, as it would render him clearly Mable to impeachment. It is learned today that at the interview in ques- tion the Chinese minister, instead of being informed that the operation of the law would be suspended. was notified it was be- yond the power of the executive to suspend the law, but that it so happened that it was temporarily without means to fully en- force it. It appears, therefore, that the Secretary of State confined himeeif to an explanation of the situation and purposely refrained from committing the government to any fixed policy. It is understood that Mr. Gresham assured the minister of the good will the United States felt toward the Chinese government, and hoped that the question of exclusion would be arranged in @ satisfactory manner, so that the amicable relations between the two governments would not be disturbed. —_———_—_———— Silver Purchases.
