While he was crossing Market street, that city, in front of a dray, he slipped and fell, and, notwithstanding the eftorts of the driver, the front wheels of the vehicle passed over Mr. Gray's left ankle, injuring several bones. Mr. Gray was taken to his home in a carriage, where his injuries were looked after by the fam- fly physiclan, and it will be some time be- fore he will have the free use of his limb. ‘Mr. Gray lived at one time with his uncle at 1421 K street northwest, this city, and 1s quite popular in society circles in that section.

WHAT THE GENERAL IMPRESSION IS The Document Lacks Mr. Cleve- land’s Originality and Vigor. FROM DIFFERENT CITIES ——_—s——— New York Tribune (rep.).—In effect his message is a new declaration of war against depressed industries and trade. New York Recorder.-The message which Mr. Cleveland sent to Congress yes- terday is in many points one of the best he has written. It gives in a succinct way an intelligent idea of what the govern- ment has been doing during the past twelve months, while it is not, as many of his old messages were, weighted down with suggestions and loaded with omniscient advice to a co-ordinate branch of the xov- ernment. New York Sun (dem.).—About the only vigcrous paasage in the whole message is that in which the President denounces the century old law for the protection of American ship-building as “nearer a relic of barbarism than anything that exists un- der the provisions of a statute of the United States. New York Staats Zeitung (ind.).—In his treatment of the tariff question the I'resi- dent with all his firm adherence to the principle of free raw material betrays some discouragement, especially if we compare his present remarks with former utter- ances. New York Press (rep.).—Mr. Cleveland's demand for more fre@ trade legislation is an insult to the American people and an essential denial of the right of popular sovereignty. New York Morning Advertiser (rep.).— As is usual with presidential messages, that which Mr. Cleveland sent to Congress yesterday was, to a great extent, a re- sume of the itports cf the members of his cabinet. Mr. Cleveland’s approval of the ‘Baltimore plan of currency reform” is by all odds the ablest feature of his mes- sage. New York World (dem.).—The message of President Cleveland is as a whole a disappointment. There is no clear note of leadership in it. It contains not the slight- est recognition of the causes of the late overwhelming disaster to the democratic party. It has no word indicating a pur- pose to amend the faults and correct the blunders that contributed to this defeat. In Philadelphia, Philadelphia Press (rep.\—A more dull, tepid, sterile, inane paper it would be im- possible to imagine. The President seems to have lost ail his rugged force and tight- ing spirit. Philadelphia Times (ind. dem.)—It is not elaborate in argumentation, but simply in its concise presentation of the condition of every department of the government and our relations with every nation of the world. Philadelphia Inquirer (rep.)—Most of the President’s message will be skipped, for in bulk it is little more than a rehash of departmental reports with some refer- ences to foreign affairs which are of no value whatever. Philadelphia North American (rep.)—In asking Congress to put an end to the end- less chain, which, under the redemption law, provides, for the constant drain of gold from the treasury, the President com- mends himself to the business community. In Baltimore. Baltimore Sun (dem.)—His position with regard to the tariff has not beey changed by the result of the elections, and he urges as decidedly as ever the propriety of plac- ing coal and iron upon the free list. * * * President Cleveland has once more blazed the way for the democratic party. Baltimere American (rep.)—It is alto- gether improbable that his tariff sugges- tions will be acted on by this Congress. Baltimore Heraid—“The friends and ad- mirers of the President will be gratified by the fact that he has neither receded from nor qualified his views as to free raw ma- terials.” New York State. Brooklyn Eagle (dem.)—If all the people realized that every sentence of today’s message was written under the burden of @ painful, though not serious malady, the consideration which is deserved by the patience, lucidity and thoroughness of the work would be rated us equal to the praise it will command for its vigorous and com- prehensive grasp of statement and for its wisdom, moderation and distinctness of recommendation. Morning Telegram—It ts just about the sort of communication on public matters which one might reasonably expect to emanate from a man tortured with the ex- cruciating pains of rheumatic gout, in- tensified by bitter political defeat. Rochester Herald (dem.)—The Pres&lent makes clear his attitude toward the sugar trust, in one of the most satisfactory pas- sages of his message. Albany Press and Knickerbocker (ind.j-- The President makes some suggestions and recommendations to Congress, based upon the reports of his secretaries, which will attract much attention. @ * * It is a very good message. It is somewhat sub- dued, the consequence, perhaps, of the lete election. Syracuse Post (rep.)—It is appalling in its length, and in its recommendations is about what might be expected. The doc- ument is made up largely of the statis- tics furnished by heads of departments. In Chicago. Chicago Tribune (rep.)—Summed up, it is a long business message, without partisan exaltation on the one hand and useless mourning over recent catastrophes on the other, and with evident suggestions of gout. Chicago Record (ind.)—The President's unequivocal declaration that he will main- tain the national currency on a gold basis at any cost in bonds should dispel all doubts on that score, if such doubts have still existed anywhere. Chicago inter-Ocean (rep.)—The House may pass the bank note scheme, and prob- ably will, but the republicans of the Senate can and ‘surely will prevent its passage in that body. if necéssary, the regular ap- propriations should be biocked. Chicago ‘Times (dem.)—It is characteristic of him in its boldness, in its devotion to the principle of tariff reform, and, most un- happily, in its complete acquiescence in those ‘principles of monetary — science preached in bank parlors and practiced for the profit of bankers. Chicago Herald (dem. 1nd.)—The message is very much in earnest throughout, and those portions which express his personal views of public policy and the principles of government have his usual force and directness, In St. Louts. St. Lous Post-Dispatch (dem.)—There is Castoria For Infants and Children. CASTORIA DESTROYS WORMS. ASTORIA CURES CONSTIPATION. CASTORIA ALLAYS FEVERISHNESS. CASTORIA CURES DIARRHOEA AND COLIC. CASTORIA RELIEVES TEETHING TROUBLES. CASTORIA PREVENTS VOMITING SOUR CURD, “The usa of ‘Castoria’ ts so untversal and its merits so well known that It seems a work of supererogation to indorse it, Few are the intellt- gent families who do not keep Castoria within easy reach.” OARLOS MARTYN, D.D., New York city. nothing in the message that {s calculated to call out of the bush the democratic voters who disappeared at the November election. St. Louis Star Sayings (rep.)}—The Presi- dent is so careful to avoid dangerous ground that he has succeeded in reducing the message to a document which is not remarkable for one of those Cleveland- isms that have marked most of his pre- vious efforts. St. Louis Globe-Democrat (rep.)—The message is the longest one that he has ever written, and the one that contains the least matter of original interest and im- portance. That part of the message which will attract the most attention, however, is the outline of a plan for a new currency system. 1% In Pittsburg. < Pittsburg Commercial Gazette (rep.)— All things considered, the message is a tame, subdued and disappointing docu- ment. Pitsburg Post (dem.)—We believe people generally were led to believe there would be something of a sensational character in the message, but this is not the case. It is moderate and conservative in its tone, and free from anything in the nature of a surprise. Pittsburg Dispatch (rep.)—He is vaue on policies and confines his much-heralded financial recommendation to two measures, the details of which are far from demon- strating the clearness of the administra- tion mind on fiscal measures. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph President Cleveland is emphatic int giving Congress to understand that, no matter what clamor may be raised, there will be bond issues as big and often as need be to enable the treasury to meet all its obliga- tions, including the duty of keeping all the notes and coinage of the government at par with gold. Pittsburg Times (rep.)—The message was written between twinges of the gout, and so, as might be expected, it now and then displays marks of bad temper. Pittsburg Press (rep.)—It is proper to man the new defenses thoroughly, but it is a question if the President is politic in encouraging the menace to labor which might result from making manufacturing cities federal military headquarters. In the East. Bangor (Me.) News (ind.)—-The message is a calm recital of actual facts. Never be- fore in history has a President had to tell the whole truth about national finance, y: Cleveland tells solid, honest facts. Oth wise, the message is not a brilliant docu- ment. Hartford (Conn.) Telegram (dem.)—It is a good, comprehensive business document. Just such an outline of general work to be done by Congress as the head of a large commercial house would prepare for lis assistants and clerks to follow, if he were to be gone for an extended vacation, South and West. San Francisco Examiner (rep.): The President favors the abolition of “every particle of differential duty in favor of refined sugar and the abolition of the re- taliatory duty on refined imported from countries that pay export bounties.” If he had taken this stand at the close of the last session instead of permitting Mr. Carlisle to identify the administration with the sugar trust, something might have turned out differently. There is very little to say about the message on the whole, because it is not a whole, but an aggrega- tion of unrelated parts. Chattanooga Times (dem.): It is purely a business communication, from, date line to signature, and one of the best written, most comprehensive, satisfactory, and statesmanlike messages ever sent from the White House to Capitol Hill. 9: New Orleans ‘Times-Demecrat (dem.): There is less of original matter in the message, and less, too, unless we mistake greatly, of that robust intellectuality which used to be one of the most notic@able char- acteristics of Mr. Cleveland’s public docu- ments.” ’ CincinnatieCommercial Gazette 4rep.):The message shows a weakening on the tariff and is lacking in any remédiel” measures after the popular expressions tHereon for the past two years. 2 a Cleveland Leader (rep.): Phe message is remarkable for nothing but the President's financial recommendations, whith, it de- clares, are intended to pleas$ the populists and democrats of the south and west, and which, if carried out, would result in the revival of wildcat currency ahd the ma- terial weakening of the natfona} banking system by decreasing the security of the bill-holders and leaving depository, at. the mercy of dishonest bank officials. Cleveland Plaindealer (em.): ‘The Prest- dent is nothing if not tenacious of his opinions. He still clings to the Idea that coal and iron ore should be placed upon the free list, but he gives no reasons for it. Cincinnati Enquirer: “The most interest- ing feature of the President's recommen tion of withdrawal from the Berlin treaty is his recognition of Congress as havin some authority concerning our foreign r lations. That the President should think it worth wkile to consult Congress in this matter is a most encouraging sign of the beneficial educational effect on him of his experience inthe Hawalian business.” New Orleans Picayune (dem.); “It is the first time Mr. Cleveland has failed to bur- den his message with a policy. This time the President has kept free from any vio- lent positiveism and has done well.” Louisville Courler Journal (dem.): “The feature that will attract most attention is the recommendation of a plan looking to the commendatle object of divorcing the government from the business of banking and providing for an ample, elastic and perfectly safe bank currency In London. London (Eng.) Standard: “The proposed change of the banking laws can in no way put cash into the treasury for present or future demands, but it may do much to in- tensify existing dangers.” . London Daily Chronicle: “So long as the treasury acts as a disturbing force in the New York money market, we do not see how American ance can be placed on a sound foundation.’ London Daily News: “The transfer of the responsibility from the treasury to the banks undoubtedly is sound finance. The system has stood the test of practical working in Canada. There is plenty of goid in the United States, but its collection and its retention obviously are not duties of the government, under the ordinary conditions of national existence. — — FORTY-FOUR MEN AT WORK. (rep.)— The Force en the New Post Office Building Today. ‘Those anxious citizens who thought that the President might mention the delay on the city post office buiiding in his annual message a8 a matter of national import- ance were doomed to disappointment. It has been suggested that the chief execu- tive, realizing the importance of the ques- tion, has withheld bis remarks upon the topic until later in the session, when he will make it the subject of a special message. At all events, members of Congress were yesterday eager in their inquiries after the work, and expressed great grhtification to find ‘that there has been am average of fdrty men employed during the past. two months. They said that it had been so much worse in days gone by, and might till be so much worse, that this small sop was something to be grateful for. Today there were forty-four men visible on the walls and around the pil There may be some legislators who did not notice the hideous parallels that have been given from time to time in The Star showing the difference between the rates of progress on government and private work. For their benefit there may be another one mentioned. This is furnished by the new office building of the Manhattan Life In- surance Company in New York, This great pile towers feet above Broadway, and is sixteen stories in height. It cost $1,500,- ow) and rests upon a foundation that goes 35 feet below the street. This foundation, which costs $150,000, was completed inside of four months. The foundation of the post office building here took nearly three times as long. ‘The steel frame for the en- tire sixteen stories was finished in threo months. It took over one month to com- plete two of the eight stories of the frame work on the local building. The entire building in New York was completed with- in a year, While the post office has now been un way for over two years and three-quarters, and it is not more than one- fourth finished. pula Sessa Lt The Income Tax. Representative MeMillin of Tennessee, who was the prime mover for an income tax law, says there is no danger that it will be repealed or that there will be no appropriation for it this year. Chairman Sayers of the House committee on appro- priations says that the income tax will be provided for in the urgency deficiency bill. CARLISLE’S PLAN For Correcting the Evils of the Present Financial Condition. MORE ELASTIC CURRENCY NEEDED Annual Report of the Secretary of the Treasury. VIEWS ON SILVER The annual report of the Secretary of the Treasury on the state of the finances for the year 1894 was submitted to Con- gress today. The operations of the treas- ury and the general changes that have occurred during the past year were re- capitulated in the President’s message, published yesterday. The main feature of the financial report is Secretary Carlisle's recommendation for an improved system of currency, briefly referred to and in- dorsed in the President's message.| In a general resume of the business of the Treasury Department Secretary Carlisle takes occasion to advocate a reorganiza- tion of the customs districts throughout the country as a work of public necessity. He also shows the injustice and extortion of the operation of section VII of the cus- toms administrative act, ‘prescribing penal additional duties in certain duties, and suggests its correction. He says the appropriations heretofore made annually for the enforcement of the Chinese exclusion laws are inadequate, and advocates an eppropriation of $100,000 for that service. He also urges a careful re- vision of the alien contract laws so that they shall be more certain, explicit and ccmprehensive, and also that effective rem- edies be provided to insure their enforce- ment. The Secretary concurs in the re- commendation that the several marine bureaus of the Treasury Department be aseembled under the direct supervision of one assistant secretary of the treasury, and he requests that Congress make pro- vision for an additional assistant secretary for that special service. Public Architecture. On the subject of public buildings he 8a; 4 “The amount of work imposed upon the office of the supervising architect would scem to demand that the allowance made for the required technical service should be increased in order that the public buildings authorized by Congress may be erected with greater promptness, and this lias been given consideration in the prepa- ration of estimates to be submitted for the coming fiscal year. “Experience convinced me that a sub- stantial reorganization of this oifice was necessary in order that the several kinds of work allotted to it might be so sepa- rated as to secure a greater degree of harmony and efficiency in its administra- tion, prevent duplications of labor and thus reduce the expenditures in certain branc es of the service, and, accordingly, suc reorganization has- been recently ‘made. It hes been done upon a basis which will enable the department, without supple- mentary legislauion, to carry into effect the provisions of the bill (H.R. 74 pending, with reference to securir petitive designs and plans for public bui ings erected under the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, and the pas- sage of that measure is again respectfully recommended. Tie Treasury Condition, In a long chapter on the subject of cur- rency reform, Secretary Carlisle says, in part: “On the Ist day of July last the total cash in the treasury, excluding current ita- bilities, but including gold reserve of $64,572,024, was $116,626,221; and on the Ist day of November the total cash, excluding evrrent liabilities, but Including $61,3 in gold, was $105,092,731, showing a de, ot $9,655,487. The excess of over receipts during the last fiscal was $60,503,260, and during the first months of the present fiscal year, $21, 367.92. it is not believed, however, ‘that this difference between the receipts and eapenditures will continue in the same pro- portion until the close of the year, and, ac- cordingly, I have estimated a deficiency of $20,000,000 at that time. Owing to the large importations of raw sugar in anticipation of the passage of the tariff act of August 28, 1804, tne duties coliected upon that article up to December 1 amounted to only (22,000, and of course nothing has yet een realized from the tax on incomes, as its payment cannot be legally enforced un- til after July 1, 1895. But there {s reason to believe that the importations of sugar must be resumed at an early date and continued upon a scala which will yield a large reve- nue from that source during the remainder of the year, and it is probable, also, that on acocunt of the penalues which may be tn- curred for non-payment within ten days after July 1 a considerable part of the im- come tax will be realized in time to be available. As the reduced rates of duty on manufactures of wool will take effect on January 1, 1895, the importations of that class of goods will doubUess be greatly in- used after that date, and, consequently, a consideralile addition to the revenue may be reasonably auttcipatec from that source: If these expectations should be to any con- siderable extea! disappointed, the year will close with a greater deficiency than has n estimated, My opinion is that the laws now in force will yield an ample revenue for the fiscal year 1806; isons will the be operative, improve- ment in the business of the country, if real- ized, will greatly increase the resources from which 1:33 ure collected, and, ue- cordingly, a surplus of $28,814,020 is esta- mated for that year. In my last annual report I called atten- tion to the unsatisfactory condition of our financial legislation, and especially to the issue and redemption of circulating notes by the government, and the inability of the Secretary of the Treasury, under ex- isting laws, to make prompt and adequate provision for the support of the public credit. The experience of the past year has confirmed and strengthened the opin- ions then expressed, and I therefore re- spectfully, but most earnestly urge upon Congress the necessity for remedial le: tion during its present session., The well- known defects in our financial system and the serious nature of the evils threatened by them have done more during the last two years to impair the credit of the gov- ernment and the people of the United States, at home and abroad, and to check our industrial and commercial progress than all other things combined, and our first and plainest duty is to provide, if pos- sible, some effective method for the prompt and permanent relief of the country from the consequences of the present unwise policy. expenditures year The Bond Issue. The Secretary then substantiates his as- sertions as to the injurious effects of ex- isting legislation upon our financial status by a brief review of the experiences of the past year, in the efforts to replenish the gold reserve and maintain the national credit. In regard to the November $50, 000,000 bond issue, he says: “This transac- tion justifies the opinion that a 2 1-2 per cent bond, having a reasonable time to run, could probably have been sold at par, and certainly that a 8 per cent bond could have been disposed of at or above that rate. The fact that a bond bears so high a rate of interest and has so long a time to run that it must be sold at a large prem- ium, deters many from offering to pur- chase and detracts considerably from its investment and speculative value in the hands of the comparatively few who are willing to take the risk of future fluctua- tions in its price. The consequence is that the purchases are made almost exclusively by large moneyed institutions and capital- ists who ore familiar with such securities, and the people generally are: precluded from investing their savings in the only form which ts known to be perfectly good and always convertible into money. As the authority to issue and sell bonds already exists, and the present state of our finan- cial legislation compels its occasional ex- ercise, I repeat the recommendation made in my last annual report that, in the in- Continued on Tenth Page.

The Commissioners today ordered: That forty-three gasoline lamps in Tenleytown be lighted, beginning with the evening of December 3, 1894, and that sixteen addi- tional gasoline lamps be erected and lght- ed in Tenleytown. . That the order of November 10, 1804, to lay a granolithic sidewalk in 32d street, or High street, Georgetown, east side, from M street northward about 400 feet, and to lay granolithic sidewalk on west side of said street from M street to a point 150 feet north of Prospect street, be canceled. That’a sewer be constructed in 12th street southeast between C and D streets under the provisions of the permit: sy: tem. That a water main be laid in 34th street between © and R streets. . That 830° Zeet of six-inch water main be laid in Hartford street east from 12th street, and one fire hydrant erected. ‘Tiel a water main be laid in C street between Kentucky avenue and 15th street, and in east side of 14th street north from C street southeast, and one fire hydrant erected. That gasoline lamps recently erected In various localities, numbering twenty-eight in all, be lighted, beginning with the even- ing of the Ist instant. That the following sewers be added to the provisional schedule of sewers to be constructed during the fiscal year 1808, provided Congress appropriates funds sufficient, or under.the permit system, up- on receipt of the usual deposit: In alley in square 575, to serve lots 5 and 6, square 1060, in Jefferson street, eastward, 136 feet from Taylor. Of No Use. O. B. Lester of 223 Indiana avenue north- west has written to the Commissioners calling attention to the fact that the fire alarm corner 2d and D streets northwest is practically useless to the owners of property in its vicinity in case of fire. In his letter to the Commissioners today -he 88, “Formerly there was a sign on the side of the building on which the alarm box is placed stating that the key of the box is in the drug store. The building has not been used as a drug store for many months, and is now used as @ grocery store; nor is the key to be found in the store. Even if Shere was a key in the store, it would be of little value the great- er part of the night, as the store is closed early in the evening. There are probably other places in the city where a key could not be had, thereby delaying the sounding of an alarm until a fire would make great headway. Contagious Hospital. G. M. Hersted, chairman of the executive committee appointed at the mass meeting of the citizens of Columbia Heights, Mt. Pleasant and Brightwood, has requested a hearing of the Commissioners for the pur- pose of presenting to them as soon as pos- sible the views of the committee against the propriety of locating the contagious disease hospital at Pleasant Plains. Examining Engineers, Mr. 8. T. Thomas, attorney for the Dis- trict, today rendered an important opinion to the Commissioners upon the question whether they have the power to pass a regulation requiring holders of lcenses as steam engineers in the District to frame their licenses and display the same in some conspicuous place, as ‘suggested by the ‘board of examiners. The act of Congress of February 2s, 1857, to regulate steam en- gineering in the District of Columbia, au- thorizes the Commissioners to make rules and regulations for the examination of ap- plicants for license as steam engineers. in his opinion Mr. Thomas says: Whilst the regulation proposed by the board of examiners would be a good one, the Commissioners are without power to make it, their right to make rules and regulations being limited to the examina- tion only of steam engineers.” Open on Sunday. District Attorney Thomas has advised the Commissioners that brewers are not enti- tled to sell intoxicating liquors on Sunday. A short while ago Commissioner Truesdell received an anonymous communication signed “A Parent,” calling attention to the negligence of the officers of the fifth pre- cinct in allowing the sale of intoxicating Mquors to minors on Sunday. The first clause of section 6 of the act of March 3, 1803, in regard to che sale of intoxicating liquors, provides “that on Sunday every bar recm, and other place where intoxicating liquors are sold, shall be kept closed, and no intoxicating liquors sold.” Mr. Thomas, in his opinion, says: “In view of this provisién of the statute it is unlawful for breweries to be kept open on Sundays.” The Trees Slant. F. V. Berry of 1253 G street southeast has requested the Ccmmisstoners to re- move the three trees located on 13th street near G street southeast, on the southwest corner. In his letter to the Commissioners he states that those trees lean at an angle of forty-five degrees; the roots have torn up the sidewalks to such an extent that at night pedestrians are frequently thrown down; they are very old and half dead, having a great quantity of dead wood in them, thereby becoming a menace to life and limb during a storm. The matter has been referred to the engineer department for consideration. Approved the Request. The Commissioners hove approved the re- quest of Messrs. Timothy Brosnan and Thomas D. Fitzgerald that the members of the police department be allowed to sell tickets for an entertainment to be given for the benefit of the police pensioners. Maj. Moore, in his indorsement upon the papers to the Commissioners, says: “There 1s no objection to this proposition, as the tickets are not for the purpose of raising money for the benefit of any club, association or society, but for aiding re- tired policemen, widows and orphans, Congress having failed to make any pro- vision for their relief.” Should Be Collected.

Broome, was sold April 10, 1804, for the general tax for year ending June 30, 1893, and for a special tax for sidewalk, to W. C. Winlock. The general taxes due on this lot for the years 1870, 1874 to 1892, both inclusive, with interest and penalty, amounts to $3,008.87, The party hol the certificate will not be entitled to a d until two years from date of sale, and hence the application for cancellation of arrears of taxes does not come within the rule in the Brewer case. The large amount of taxes herein reported are justly and legally due, and the property should be held responsible for the payment. If a deed should ‘be given, wili probably be requested by the holder of the tax certifi- eate, at the proper time, the District would be stopped from enforcing the collection of taxes accrued prior to the date of sale. Whenever this deed is demanded the Com- missioners would be justified in declinin to issue it in this case until the arrears 0! taxes are paid in full.” See sae BURNS TO WORKINGMEN. The English Labor Leader Speaks in Cooper Union. A hearty reception was given John Burns, the nglish labor leader, at Cooper Union, New York, last night, and the piace was filled. Samuel Gompers presided. David Holmes, president of the British trades union congress, told of his work in England. In tho course of his remarks Mr. Burns said: “Long hours, low wages, strikes, destitu- tion, crime, poverty, drunkeriness and pros- titution show that this is not the happiest of worlds for workers. The duties of work- men are three: First, as workmen; second, as citizens; third, human beings.” Considering the first, Mr. Burns said that as workmen a method should be de- termined to provide work for the unem- ployed and remove the causes that enslave the skilled mechanic.
