A subcommittee of the House District committee gave a hearing at 2 o'clock to Messrs, MclIlhenny, McLean and Leach of the gas company and Mr. Ford, inspector upon the question of the quality and price of gas furnished in the District. The subcommittee consisted of Mesrs. Heard, Rusk, Post, Harmer andj| Chairman Heard read a communication the manufacture of gas for this city. It was asserted in this letter that the gas fur- nished is equal in quality to that of any | other city. The letter reviewed the meth-| ods of inspection of gas, as provided by Congress, and gave the average power of | gas 17.75, the law requiring 16. Other details of press: inspection, etc., were given, and it was stated that many of the complaints which have arisen as to poor gas service are due to local causes, bad plumbing, poor connections, etc. The company is capitalized at $2,000,000, | and pays a dividend of about 10 per cent per annum. Other corporations in this city, Mr. McLean stated, pay higher divi- dends than that. Mr. McLean offered to pay the expenses of an expert to examine the gas works and report upon the quality and manufacture of gas. Mr. Ford, the government inspector. of gas and meters, testified that the quality of the gas complies with the requirement of the law, being sixteen candle power. As a general thing, the quality exceeds that | required by law. The yearly average is about sixteen. In 1892 it was eighteen, and only on one occasion it below sixteen. During 1893 it was nearly eighteen. Sa THE BOARD OF TRADE. Vice Presidents Elected by the Na- tional Body.

There has been a decline in the percentage of gold coin paid for customs} duties, and an increase in the percentage of silver certificates paid for the same pur- pose. A gain of $109,000 was made in gold yes- terday in the treasury, the figures standing 368,971,622; currency, $22,079,430, less $7,190,- 457 paid on account of interest on bonds.

The name was! sent to the Senate December 12 last. The republicans alleged that Simmons, as chair- wan of the democratic state central com-! mittee, prevented the spreading of certain official information in regard to the regis- tration of yoters in that state during the presidential election of 1Nv2, that operated to throw cut many republicen votes, while the democrats, secretly advised, were en- abled to take advantage of the knowledge and protect themselves.

A Tennessee Politician to Be Expelled From the G. A. RB ’ Representative Houk Makes a Suc- cessful Fight on Henry Gibson, a Political Rival. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 23.—The sen- sation of the day in Knoxville is the de- cision of Grand Commander Adams of the Grand Army of the Republic declaring Chancellor Henry Gibson ineligible to mem- bership in the order. Mr. Gibson is a can- didate for the republican nomination for Congress against Mr. Houk. Union sol- diers form the main strength of the suc- cessful candidate, and Mr. Houk sought to blast Mr. Gibson in that quarter. He charged that Gibson practiced de-! ception in order to get into the Grand | Mr. Gibson claimed to be a member of Gen. Hooker's staff. Mr. | Houk charged he was only a clerk in the commissary department, and submitted documents from the War Department to show it. The papers were turned over to the commander-in-chief, and also to a committee from’ the local post to investi- | gate and decide if Gibson should be expell- ed. The decision of the commander-in-chief was wird to Knoxville late last night. It holds that Mr. Gibson was only a clerk in the commissary, as charged, and there- fore is ineligible to membership. Gibson will now be expelled from the Grand Army and his defeat for Congress will follow. Gibson is chancellor of this district and has aiways stood high, despite the charges agairst him. -_- AFTER THE MARYLAND MEMBERS. A Delegat From Baltimore Came Over to Instruct Their Representa- a A delegation of fifty representing the va-! rious industrial associations of Baitimore creaied something of a sensation in one of the corridors of the House today by an at- tempt to drive the Maryland delegation to oppose the Wilson bill. They sent for the members of the delegation, and gathering arcund them in the entry presented to them a series of amendments proposing pro- tection to the various industries which the committee represented, and insisted that the delegation should vote to have these | amendments put upen the bill, and if they | were not adopted by the House, that the | whole delegation should vote against the | Wilson bill. They were very emphatic in their manner of dealing with the members, and without mincing matters announced that if the delegation refused to do as they | asked they would see that they did not get back to Coagress. They had a great deal to say, and in- sisted that they did not propose to be driv- en out of work and starved, but intended to have their interests looked after or else use all the power of their organizations to defeat the men who refused to act for them in the House. The first man they ran against in the delegation was Mr: Ray- ner, who told them that he would not vote for any of their amendments, and that he would work for and vote for the Wilson | bill. In response to their threats, he told | them that they could do as they’ pleased; that if they meant to try to defeat him they were welcome to do so. If they want- ed ‘a protectionist in the House, he sald, | they must send some other man, and he preferred their opposition to their favor. | He did not want the support of men hold- ing the views they did. The delegation re- ceived similar answers from other mem- bers of the delegation, though not always as vigorously expressed, and then went over ty the Senate and had an interview with Mr. Gorman, ——_—___+-0+______ THEATERS AND PROPERTY OWNERS. The Inspector of Buildings Proposes to Modify the Regulations, The petition submitted by the Builders’ Exchange to the Commissioners, praying for a repeal or modification of certain sec- tions of the building regulations and that Mr. John W. Albaugh be granted a permit for the erection of a theater on square 250 has been reported upon by the inspector | of buildings. He thinks the assent of a majority of the owners of the property in the square in| which it is proposed to locate a theater is & sufficient resiriction, nor is it necessary for the party applying to have a license be- fore a permit is issued. He, therefore, sug- gests that the present paragraph 26 be re- ~ = the following be enacted as para- ph 26: “When application is made for a permit to construct or reconstruct edifices of the char- acter referred to in this section, except churches and places of instruction, there shall be filed therewith in the office of the inspector of buildings the written assent of a majority of the property owners in the Square in which such building is proposed to be located.” —_—>__ THE NICARAGUA CANAL, Senator Morgan’ Proposition Guarantee the Bonds. Senator Morgan has embodied his views of the Nicaragua canal policy of the gov- ernment in a bill that he introduced in the Senate yesterday afternoon. It provides for a new issue of bonds by the canal com- pany to the amount of 100,000, bearing date of January 1, 1894, to be payable Jan- uary 1, 1%4. but redeemable at the pleas- ure of the United States any time after January 1, 1904, with interest at 3 per cent, provided that prior to July 1, 1897, no bonds shall be paid from the treasury in excess of $30,000,000, and on or before that date the President of the United States may, at any time, suspend the issue of said | indorsed bonds until Congress, being in-| formed by. him of the reason of such sus- pension, shall otherwise direc. These bonds are to be distributed as fol- lows: First. Seventy million dollars of the cap-| ital stock at the par value shall be issued | ta the United States in consideration of | its guaranty of the bonds of the compan: this stodk to be full paid and non-asses: able, and shall be deposited in the treasury of the United States. Second. Six millions at the par value to be issued to the government of Nicaragua and $1,500,000 at par value to the govern- ment ‘of Costa Rica, according to the terms of their respective concessions. | ‘The remainder of the stock, amounting | to not less than $16,000,000, is to be applied | exclusively to the construction of the canal, | and if it 18 possible to dispose of this stock | at par the Secretary of the Treasury is di- rected, upon application of the board of di- rectors, to deliver to the company bonds, guaranteed by the United States, amount- ing to the par value of $1,000,000, the pro- | ceeds to be used exclusively as a working! capital. ‘Ven of the fifteen directors of the com- the President, | pany are to be appointed b with the advice of the Se: than five to be from one political part and none of the bonds provided for are be delivered to the company until the Pres ident of the United States is satisfied that the canal can be completed for the safe! and economical navigation from ocean to} ocean of both mereantile and naval shivs of as large size as can now be safely passed | through the Suez canal, and at a cost not exceeding the cash proceeds of the hun- dred millions of bonds. The act provides | for a board of three engineers to inspect | the route of the canal, examine the en-| gineering work and to ‘certify to the full) and detailed estimates of the work to be done. Should the board find a modification of the plans or location necessary they are directed to report in full. In order to clear the way for the new organization the bill requires that all stock heretofore issued shall be canceled, to- gether with all liabilities. The capital stock is fixed at 1,000,000 shares at $100 ee The Masters and Pilots.

IT WILL COME OP TOMORROW. Claims in the Bill Against Sheriff Broward. POINTS IN THE PETITION. + JACKSONVILLE, Fia., Jan, 23.—Judge | Call has postponed the hearing in the in- junction case until tomorrow morning. What the action of the judge will be in the matter of the hearing to determine the question of making permanent the temporary stay granted to the Duval Club last night has excited the sporting visitors almost as much as the prospects of the fight itself. True to their instincts, the sporting men have made a betting affair of the matter, and points on Judge Call are now as eagerly sought as points on the fighters have been heretofore. The case for the club will be argued by Col. Cockerill and Sheriff Broward will be represented by County Solicitor J. B. Christie. The pugilistic element was not quite so jubilant this morning when It became known that the temporary Stay was not a substantial victory for the club. The sporting men did not know last night that the mere petition for an injunction oper- | ated as a temporary stay, and were of the opinion that the legal battle had begun, and that the club had scored first blood. The bill of petition filed by the club sets |forth that the sheriff has declared his pur- pose to take possession by an armed force of the real property of the club, where an arena has been put up and where a scien- tific glove contest is to take place. It is further asserted that the declara~ tions on the, part of the sheriff have al- ready seriously interfered with the sale of tickets to this contest or exhibition and the success of the enterprise. The threatened taking possession of these premises, it is declared,ls accompanied with the declaration that possession will be maintained until the contest is abandoned. The bill also sets up the fact that this contést is to be held in pursuance of the power given by the last legislature to this city in the special charter granted. This | charter empowers the elty with the right to regulate, prohibit or suppress theatrical amusements and other exhibitions. This provision of the charter is law that super- sedes all other conflicting law. Neither the dueling statute nor any other statute can be considered independent of other stat- utes. If there is a conflict between one statute and another the last statute passed practically repeals all of its conflicting pre- decessors. The payment of the fee enacted by the city ordinance and the license cb- tained thereunder are made parts of the bill. The bill prays that the present injunction be made perpetual, in e matter of res- training Sheriff browai his agents, ser- vants or attorneys from taking and keeping possession of the grounds and from con- tinuing to hold possession, and from inter- fering in any way with the exhibition or the entrance of any person upon the per- mission of the club in or upon the grounds as a spectator or participant in the said exhibition. No Railway Trains for the Fighters. The action of all the railroads, except the road running down to Mayport, in agreeing to support the governor in this matter by refusing to furnish trains for the use of the Duval Club, has practically left the club no fighting ground but the arena already prepared in this city. It looks now as if the fight would take place here or not at all. The club will certainly attempt to have it in the arena if Judge Call's decision is in their favor, as it is not believed by them that the governor Will go to the extent of declaring martial law in opposition to a decision of a state judge. Col. Cockerill declines to discuss this | point further than to declare emphatically that Gov. Mitchell would not put any part of the state under martial law on a ques- tion of a difference on a point of law with the state. In this regard it is significant that the Western Union Telegraph Company is per- fecting its arrangements for handling press bulletins in the arena. The question of a postponement of the fight has been discussed in view of the law's delay. Wm. Brady, speaking for Corbett, said he would agree to a post- ponement until Friday, or even Saturday, although it would be a hardship on the fighters to be obliged to keen on the keen edge of perfect condition two days beyond the time for which they had been, training. seeds THE KAISER TO BISMARCK. BERLIN, Jan. 23.—Baron Marschall Von Bieberstein, minister of foreign affairs, in conversation in the lobby of the reichs- tag today, said that Emperor William re- cently sent Prince Bismarck a case of wine through Count Von Moltke, his maj- esty’s aid-le-camp. The emperor also sent an inquiry as to the health of the prince. Prince Bismarck replied, thanking the emperor for his gift, ani svying that when his health permitted he would thank his majesty personally in Berlin. The Cologne Gazette says that Prince Bismarck has informed Larperor William yer he will vieit him in Berlin early next week. a POLICE COURT APPEALS, wes the Bill Providing to the Higher Court. In the Senate today Mr. Mitchell of Ore- gon reported favorably from the judiciary committee the bill amending the act creat- ing the Police Court of the District by granting an appeal from its judgments to the Court of Appeals of the District. The bill was opposed quite vigorously by Sena- tor Call, who said that it ought not to pass, as it would prove a hardship to-people of small means, who would be unable to pro- vide the bond required by the bill as se- curity for the prosecution of appeals. Sen- ator Mitchell defended the bill, and claimed that, instead of being a hardship, it would | prove a benefit to many people unjustly convicted in the Police Court, who bsve now no appeal from such action. Senator Hunton asked several questions, among them being: “W does this bill skip the appeal to the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict and go straight to the Court of Ap- peals?”” Mr. Mitchell explained that it was deemed wiser to provide one appeal only, as cases coming from the Police Court were not | Mable to be. of such importance that two appeals were necessary. Mr. Hoar, a mem- ber of the judiciary committee, supple- mented this statement, saying that the com- mittee had thought it best that there should be but two trials of fact in each case. Mr. Call persisted in his opposition and attacked the Police Court system, which, he said, presumes every prisoner to be a criminal. He thought that the requirement of a ond was unnecessary and that a simple reco-s nizance should be sufficient. Mr. Mitchell said that the bill really extended to accused parties a privilege not heretofore enjoyed. “Yes,” said Mr, Call; “but it subjects this privilege to conditions that make it Inoper- ative or burdensome. I think a simple rec- ognizance would be sufficient except, per- haps, in aggravated cases.” Mr. Hoar went into a somewhat tetailed statement of the reasons why the bill was reported from the committee, and said that any person of character could be released by the court for the purpose of appeal on the bond of a citizen, or If the court were satis- fied on a mere personal recognizance.
