Important Action Taken by the Di- rectors at a Meeting Today —In- ecrense of the Firemen's Pay. _A largely attended meeting of the board of directors of the board of trade was held this morning, at which matters of consider- able importance received attention. The in- troduction of the following resolution gave rise to considerable discussion, all strongly in favor of the proposed action: Resolved, by the board of directors of the Washington board of trade, That the pro- posed extension of the operation of the law known as the “civil service law” to the offices of the government of the District of Columbia meets with our hearty approval, believing that such action is in the interest of better and more businesslike administra- tion, In Favor of Extension. It was the unanimous opinion of the di- rectors that placing the offices of our local government under the protection of the elvil service law would be the means of saving much valuable time to the Commissioners and of relieving them from the political pressure to which they now may be sub- jected. In short, the proposed change met with hearty concurrence on the part of business men as tending to the promotion of business methods, based on the fitness of the employe. The resolution was unanimously adopted. ‘The board then proceeded to the election of a director to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late Mr. E. Kurtz John- son. Mr. James M. Johnston was the unani-| mous choice of the directors for this posi- tion, - ‘fhe secretary presented a statement showing in detail the cost of the fire de- partment, especially as regards salaries of the employes in comparison with the fire departments of several other principal cities of the United States. After some dis- cussion a motion was adopted recommend- ing to the board of trade at its next meet- ing that the petition of the firemen now pending asking aa increase of 26 per cent in their salaries, one-half of such increase to be devoted to the existing pension fund, be indorsed. Special Report Adopted. After lengthy consideration of the report of the epecial committee of the board of trade on the relations between the United States government and the District of Co- lumbia, the thanks of the board were unan- imously tendered to the committee, and especially to its chairman, Mr. W. C. Dodge, for the interesting and valuable information contained therein. The hand book of Washington, prepared for the use of the beard of trade, also re- ceived the attention of the directors, who manifested much interest in it. —>—_'- The Anti-Saloon League. The executive committee of the Anti- saloon League met in secret session yester- day afternoon at the office of Mr. James L. Ewin. A committee was appointed to confer in regard to charges made against certain members of the metropolitan police force, who, it is alleged, have not enforced the liquor laws. Those present were J. S. Black- ford, N. Canfield, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Colored Bap- tist Chureh; James L. Ewin, Mrs. Gillen- water, Mrs. Shoemaker and Mrs. Mary EB.

CLAIMED BY COLOMBIA The Southern Republic is Exercised About Tennet’s Guano Islands. Mr. Blaine Virtually Decided Their Ownership in Favor of Their American Discoverer. Senor Rengifo, charge of the Colombian legation here, is about to urge the State Department to relinquish the protection the United States has long given to the Jennet Guano Company, established by an Ameri- can named Jennet, to take the valuable guano deposits on the islands off the Co- lombian coast. ‘The case involves interesting questions of territorial jurisdiction, to which Mr, Blaine, when Secretary of State, gave much atten- tion. Jennet claims to have discovered the gvano deposits on Roncador and Quitasuino Islands in 1869, and in accordance with the United States law passed in 1856 he set up his rights as a discoverer, and in the name of the United States took possession of the gvano beds. Since then vast quatities havi been gathered, and the work is still pro- Mr. Blaine Upheld Jennet. The Colombian government, through Senor Rengifo, first protested in 1800 to Mr. Blaine, The latter’s reply has never been nade public, but it Is said at the State De- partment that Mr. Blaine maintained the rights of Jennet, saying that the two islands were 240 miles from the coast of Colombia, and were nearer Costa Rica or Nicaragua than to Colombia. To this Senor Rengifo responded with an elaborate communication showing that Co- lombia’s rights to the islands had been recegnized by Spain, the original owner, in 1810, and that the ownership had never since been questioned. Contemplated Action by Colombia. This was in 1893, since which time Senor Rengifo has received no word from the State Department as to his government's contentions. Colombia is now becoming restive over. the two years’ delay, and un- official advices have been received to the effect that she expects not only to protest more vigorously than heretofore, but also to file a claim for the vast amount of guano removed with the sanction of the United States. Senor Rengifo says he has not been officially advised of the claim, as the territorial rights over the islands are all that has heretofore been urged. He says he will reassert these rights at an early day. — ee DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, ‘The Commissioners today appointed Lewis Williams labdrer in the office of the superintendent of telegraph and telephone service for the District. Well Constructed. Superintendent Miles of the telephone and telegraph service has reported to the Com- missioners that after an examination of the patent ard pension offices, where in- stantaneous fire alarm boxes are located, he finds them well constructed and both ef- ficient and reliable. No Music on nday. The Commistoners today ordered: That section three of article nine of the police regulations of the District of Columbia, made August 31, 1894, be amended by ad- ding thereto the following: No musical instrument of any kind shall be played cn Sunday in any of the places heretofore referred to in this section. Want Shade Trees. D. D. Thompson has requested the Com- missioners to place shade trees on G street northeast, west of Maryland avenue, and also around the school house corner 14th and G streets northeast. ‘ Work Ordered. ‘The Commissioners today ordered: That so much of the west side of 14th street be- tween H street and New York avenue be resurfaced as is necessary to reduce the fall transversely to about nine inches. That a sewer be laid in H street between 14th and 15th streets southeast and that a catch basin be constructed at the north- east and northwest corners of H and 14th streets southeast. That a sewer in Benning road between 15th and 16th streets northeast be con- structed during the fiscal year ending June 50, 1896, provided fun; re available. That a cement sidewalk be laid around the corner of 18th and P streets northwest under permit system. ~ Out of the Firemen’s Fand. ‘The Commissicr ers have ordered that $75 from the firemen's relief fund be allowed the family of Thomas F. Sullivan, deceased, to defray the funeral expenses. She Protests. Maria E. McCormick, corner 10th and Milwaukee streets, Brookland, D. C., has protested against the granting of an order to lay a_water main in Queen street (10th street), Brookland, from Milwaukee street to Bunker Hill road. Recommends Construction. Capt. Derby has recommended to the Commissioners that sewers be laid in Half street between M and N streets south- west and in alley of square 650. He further recommends that these sewers are neces- sary for public health, and that they be constructed notwithstanding the objections received. Cleaning the Streets. Relative to the recommendation of Health Officer Woodward a short time ago that streets where public carriage and wagon stands and hill horses are located be kept clean by them or that they be required to pay a fee to the District for cleaning the streets at those points, Superintendent Mc- Kenzie in his report to the Commissioners upon the subject says: “That the hack and wagon stands are not fi as good condition as they should be, from a sanitary point of view, is true; also that localities where hill horses usually stand are in like condition. At most of the hack and wagon stands efforts are made by the occupants to clean up pretty generally; the greater trouble is to have the material ‘car- ried away. I respectfully suggest that the following plan be adopted until some better one be found or the work done directly by this department: “That the occupants of each hack and wagon stand be notified by the police to broom up in piles the droppings, and that a cart will call twice or more times a day to take them away without expense there- for, and if necessary a street broom be fur- nished to each stand. The cart taking up the refuse can be obtained without cost to the District, as Mr. H. Clay Jones will fur- nish cart and man on the same condition that he now cleans up B street northwest from 7th to 12th streets. That is, for the sole right for the refuse so deposited, and stands ready to enter on the work when- ever notified. In relation to the hill horses, I suggest that the street railway companies using them be required to broom up the droppings and place same in some rovered receptacle, contents to be removed by cart once each day. To cleanse the above-named places a sewer gang engaged in flushing the sewers might be instructed to wash same thoroughly at such times as directed.” W. and G. Terminal Facilities. The Commissioners this morning gave “a hearing to Mr. George T. Dunlop, the act- ing president of the Washi: Georgetown Railroad Company, who called to submit plans showing the terminal fa- cilities of the road in Georgetown. No ac- tion was taken upon the plans, and they were referred to the engineer department for investigation, A Church Fair Permit. A delegation from the Peoples’ Congrega- tional Church called upon the Commission- ers this morning to get a permit to hold a fair at Nash’s Hall during the coming week. This permit was refused several days ago, for the reason that the license clerk did not consider the object either a charitable or benevolent on Mrs. Willis Gets a Divorce. Judge Cox today granted Susan ©. a di- vorce from John H. Willis, and granted her permission to resume her maiden name of Deitz. The petition, filed the 22d of last June, set forth the marriage of the parties here January 3, 1889, and charged that they lived together until June 10 foliowing, when the deferdant deserted and abandoned the complainant, ae LATE NEWS BY WIRE THE LATEST FROM NEW YORK. Supt. Byrnes on the Impossibility of Those Registered Voting. NEW YORK, November 6.—From reports received from precinct commanders up to 1 o'clock concerning the progress of the vot- ing, Superintendent of Police Byrnes ven- tured the opinion that not more than two- thirds of those whose names have been registered would be able to vote today. OSWEGO, N. Y., November 6.--Voting is” extremely lively, especially on the east side, where two-thirds of the vote had been cast by noon. Half the vote was already in on the west side. Nearly every one is voting on the amendments, POUGHKEEPSIE, N, Y., November 6.— A full vote is being polled. “The registration is the largest on record in Poughkeepsie, and as there has been no increase in the force of poll clerks it is feared that in sev- eral e districts all votes got in within the specified time, wg Baad information obtainable it is judged that Hill ts cut throughout Dutchess .county, which claims both Morton Wheeler as residents, GLENS FALLS, N, Y., November 6.—The vote in republican districts is coming in rapidly. In democratic districts the re- verse is true. Amendment vote is light. CANTON, N. Y., November 6—A heavy vote is being polled in St. Lawrence county by both parties. The roads are deep with mud and a cold north wind is blowing, but it is thought that rural electors will all vote. Everything is quiet. Manifestos stating that Curtis’, the independent repub- lican congressional candidate's ticket, is {l- legal, and calling upon republicans to vote the regular ticket without Curtis’ name, have been issued, and may cause Curtis to run behind the ticket. SENECA FALLS, N. Y., November 6.— Indications point to a pretty full vote in Seneca county. The farmers are quite gen- nasoe & at the polls, notwithstanding the cool ‘weather. SYRACUSE, N. Y., November 6.—Indica- tions at 2 p. m. are that Poole, republican for Congress in the twenty-seventh district, will have a large majority. The present member is a republican. The weather is cold and roads are hard in Onandagua county, and up to 2 p. m. a good’ vote had been cast. In some of the districts in this city it is feared it will be impossible. to poll all the votes on account of the in- creased number of ballots. State tickets are being voted generally on party lines. AUBURN, N. Y., November 6.—At 2 p.m. fully 80 per cent of the vote ts in, with in- dications of a very heavy poll.—Payne, re- publican, for Congress, will carry the coun- ty by about 3,000, WATERTOWN, N. Y., November 6.—At 2 p.m. about five-sevenths of the registered vote in thie city had been cast. The labor leaders are circulating a democratic state paster with Hill at the head, local labor candidates taking the place of the regular nominees for city officers. Democrats as- sert that this will help Hill in Watertown. There will be a large vote in this city. BUFFALO, N. Y., November 6.—Reports from Erie county are that a full vote is be- ing polled. Republicans are sanguine of car- rying the county for Morton. In all the city wards voting is progressing steadily. BATAVIA, N._Y., November 6.—The weather is fair. There seems to be a fall- ing off of farmer votes. The republican managers are much disappointed. A full vote in all the districts of Batavia is being cast. es FATAL ELECTION FIGHT.
