The Commissioners today forwarded to the Senate Distriot committee a report on the Senate bill authorizing the extensidn of the Columbia Railway Company. The extensions provided therein are: First, from 15th street and Pennsylvania avenue west to 27th street by way of Pennsylvania avenue and 17th, F and G streets. Second, from 15th and H streets northeast, along the Benning road to Central avenue. Third, from the same terminus, along the Bladens- burg road to the District line. The bill provides further that the Co- lumbia and the Metropolitan compauies make reciprocal trausfers, without extra charge; that the Washington and George- town Company extend its tracks on 14th street from New York avenue to Pennsyl- vania avenue, remove its present tracks on New York avenue, and make arrange- ments for the transfer of its passengers at 14th street and New York avenue. The Commissioners in a former report stated that they recognized that the Co- lumbia company has w priority of claim over the Washington and Georgetown com- pany for the F and G streets extension. In view of the advantage of the 22d street line provided in the Washington and Georgetown company’s bill; of the greater obstruction and danger at 15th street and New York aveaue, which would be render- ed by the extension, as proposed, of the Columbia company’s tracks, and of the greater accommodations afforded by the Washington and Georgetown company’s system of lines, the Commissioners then recommended favorable action on Senate bill amending the-charter of the Wash- ington and Georgetown company. To Clear 15th Street. The second extension named in the foregoing ts recommended by the Commis- sicners in their report today. The third extension, they gpy, seems a natural one for the Columbia line, but as a bill re- cently passed the House, giving the route on the Bladensburg road to the Columbia Suburban Company, and as there is not enough traffic on the route for two lines, the Commissioners recommend that the Columbia company should be granted the Bladensburg extension only in case the Columbia suburban bill fails, or when the company may forfeit its right by non-com- mencement or non-completion. The Co- lumbia and Metropolitan companies make free transfers at intersecting points. A legal requirement for that does not seem necessary, in the opinion of the Commis- sioners, Regarding the change of the Washington and Georgetown company’s tracks on 14th street and on New York avenue, the Commissioners are still of the opinion that the plan heretofore presented by them for removing the congestion of stteet car traffic on 15th street at the Treasury Department without transferring it elsewhere is the best practicable solu- tion of that problem. This plan contem- plates that the south bound cars of the Washington and Georgetown and Metro- politan companies run on 15th street and the north bound cars of the former run on 14th street, and of the latter on 13th street. If Congress would order that both the Metropelitan company’s 14th street tracks be moved to 13th street between F and H streets, it is believed that all tracks should be taken out of 15th street, the Washington and Georgetown company moving to 14th street and running its Georgetown cars on New York avenue. —-—_—_ e FOR FREE SILVER. Declaration of the Michigan Demo- crats. Chief Justice John W. McGrath of the Michigan supreme court was renominated for justice of the supreme court by ac- clamation by the democratic state conven- tion at Saginaw, Mich., yesterdfy, Judge Charles J. Pailthorp of Petoskey and Stratton D. Brooks of Isabella county were named as regents of the State University. The name of Miss Ella Hutchins of Ionia was presented as a candidate for regent, but after some discussion it was decided that she was not legally eligible to the office and her nomination was withdrawn. A committee on resolutions, consisting of a member from each congressional dis- trict, spent nearly two hours considering the question of resolutions, there being considerable difference in the sentiments of delegates as to whether the present na- tional administration should be indorsed in every particular or in part. The ques- tion of referism against anti-referism in the appointments of federal officers is still the object of contention among Michigan democrats, and the committee decided af- ter deliberation to recommend only a reso- lution declaring for free silver at 16 to 1, thus avoiding any possible dissensions re- garding the system of federal appoint- ments, etc. This the convention adopted. ———_____+o+_____ Tomorrow’s Alexander Island Entries First race, five-eighths of a mile.—Bes- semer, 110; Despair, 110; W.

IN HOTEL CORRIDORS “The recent election of John L. Wilson as é 9 THE WAY OPEN TO FORAKER Senator from Washington, while prefacea | McKinley Not a Oandidate for the U. 8 by a pretty lively contest, was not accom- panied by anything like the sensational elements that made the Squire-Calkins fight for the same place, four years ago, forever memorable,” said Peter Chapman of Seattle at the Riggs House last night. “Mr, Calkins, you know, had been a Con- gressman for years from Indiana, and was defeated by Isaac Pusey Gray for governor when the late minister to Mexico was elect- ed to that pIace. He was then appointed by President Harrison a judge in the terri- tory of Washington, and when the terri- tery. was admitted as a state he remained in Tacoma and practiced law, being the at- torney for the Northern Pacific road and other big corporations of a more local char- acter. He was announ! as @ candidate for Senator, to succeed Senator Squire, in the summer of 1800, and the legislative campaign of that fall was waged largely on his candidacy. When the legislature met in 1891 nothing was heard of but the sena- torial fight. Clarence Barton, formerly a newspaper man here, and at that time secretary of the Washington state senate and editor of a paper in Olympia, the capital, was one of Calkins’ campaign man- agers, and the Northern Pacific road back- ed the Indianian heavily. Squire’s back- ers were the solid men of the state, es- Fecially those of Seattle, and Gov. John H. McGraw, then a bank president, was at their head. Never was money spent more prodigally. Both sides had headquarters at the Olympia Hotel, and both kept open house all the time. Hangers on in Olympia who had never been Anown to have more than six bits about their clothes went around jingling twenty-dollar gold pieces. I tell you the gutters of that Grecian city fairly ran with wine, with greenbacks fiodting atop of it. No one could tell exact- ly how the legislators stood, and, conse- quently, both sides exerted superhuman ef- forts to secure the support of the doubtful men, but in that country at that time ex- pense didn’t count, and every man who had or pretended to have influence with one of the uncertainties was sure to have his pockets lined by one side or the other, and fgome shrewd schemers worked them both. ‘When the legislature met to elect a Senator a bombshell was exploded in its midst. One Ee 1 pneronees pemel Metcalf got up ina ramatic way and, shaking some green- backs above his head, announced that one J. H. Clarke of Spokane had given him $2,500 to vote for Calkins, and that he held the money in his hand. There was general excitement and indignation, and the conse- quence was that Squire was elected. Some people claimed that the Squire management had worked this coup, but it was abund- antly proven in an investigation that fol- lowed that neither Senator Squire, John H. McGraw nor any of the other Squire people had anything to do with it. But it was a hot time, and our state will probably never see aoeing: like the Squire-Calkins contest “The famous Fraker insurance case, which promised to become a cause celebre in the Missouri courts, has been settled by compromise, and an interesting series of trials, so far as lawyers and sensation lovers were concerned, have been -ione away with,” said James D. Muth of Kan- sas City at the Metropolitan. “The story is a novel one. In the spring of 1893 Dr. George W. Fraker, a young physician of Excelsior Springs, secured an insurance on his life in various companies, amounting in all to nearly $60,000. Three months later, in July, he went fishing with some friends on the Missouri river. His com ions re- turned grief-stricken at night with the in- telligence that the river bank upon which Fraker was standing had suddenly caved in, taking the doctor with it into the fast- running water, and that they had seen him no more. The body was not recovered, all attempts to find it having been unsuc- cessful. Some of the insurance companies promptly paid the policies taken out with them, but the majority believed that Frak- er’s alleged death was a cunning ruse on his part, through which, by the aid of confederates, he was to rob the companies of the large sums carried on his life. A suit was brought in the United States court by Fraker’s heirs against the com- panies which refused to pay up, and ea jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiffs. A new tria] was granted on some technical grounds, but before it was brought up a compromise was effected, by which the doctor’s heirs will receive something like “A somewhat remarkable incident occur- red in the criminal court the day before I left home,” said R. L. Youngs of Milwau- kee at the Cochran yesterday. “For some time the case of John B. Koetling, accused of wrecking the South Side Savings Bank @ couple of years ago, has been dragging along in that court, being postponed and delayed continually. There has been a good deal of trouble on account of the prisoner, who was brought back once from Denver and again from Mexico. His attor- ney was W. C. Williams, and to his efforts alone, so everybody thinks, the immunity from trial so far that Koetling has en- joyed has been due. Well, last Monday the case was called before Judge Wallber, and when the defendant took the witness stand the judge asked. Mr. Williams, his counsel, if he was ready to proceed. Will- jams referred the judge to Koetling him- self, and after some palaver, Williams finally stated that he would not go on with, the case until Koetling had made some arrangement to pay him his fee, saying that he had been working on the case for a year and a half, and the agree- ment made with the prisoner had not been kept by him. The judge adjourned the case to allow Koetling to make a settle- ment of some sort with his counsel, the latter saying that he would not continue in the case otherwise, and that he would let no other lawyer take his place. I haven’t heard how the affair turned out, but every- bedy was talking about it when I left.” “I am hardly aq earnest an advocate of woman's rights as I used to be,” said Frank Benham of Troy at the Raleigh last night. “I went to a woman’s convention— that of the Daughters—for awhile one day last week, and I saw what Congress would be like if our sweet sisters were given the right to occupy seats in the august body. Talk about political conventions, where rerllamentary procedure gets mixed up.and twisted like a country boy with, the colic! Goodness gracious! Minneapo! at its stormiest period was not a circumstance to even the mildest proceedings of the ladies. Dozens of them were on their feet at once moving and motioning while the poor pre- siding officeress—I guess-that’s what to call her—pounded away with her gavel until her arm pretty near dropped. Did the ladies notice her pleadings to come to order? Not a bit of it. They just kept right on, trying to get in their words before the others got in theirs, and a Choctaw death chant would have been intelligible beside it. Well, a treasurer was elected, and some delegate jumped up and managed to an- nounce her belief that such an officer should be bonded. There was a rustle of crinoline as the others arose to give their views on the subject.. There is no telling what would have occurred if something hadn’t happened. The ‘presiding officer managed to shriek out that she had a message from the White House. There was instant silence born of burning curiosity. Every woman dropped to her seat and craned her head forward as if she was lccking at a new dress. There was dense silence as the president announced that Mrs. Cleveland would receive the delegates at such and such an hour. While she was talking I slipped out. Am I for woman’s suffrage any more? Well, something like Bob Ingersoll was for franchise in this city. You know the story, but these other fel- lews don’t. Bob went to a meeting here in favor of suffrage and it split in half, and koth factions proceeded to business in the self-same hall, one crowd taking one side of the room and the other crowd the other. Ingersoll waited a minute or two and then sought flight to the street. A friend met him with the inquiry, ‘Well, colonel, are you still for suffrage? ‘Yes,’ was Inger- soll's response. “D—4 still.

Policeman Emil Rinck of the fourth pre- cinct, who has been sick for several weeks, is not expected to recover. Senatorship. His Aim is the Presidential Nomina- tion —His Finances — Ex-Gov. Campbell's Return. Correspondence of The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, February 27, 1895. In an authorized statement Governor Mc- Kinley has declared that he will not be a candidate for United States Senator to suc- ceed Calvin 8. Brice, and thus the sen- atorship, so far as the republicans may be able to control it, is given without con- test to ex-Governor Foraker. Viewed in the light of the last two state elections there seems to be little doubt about the ability of the republicans to control the next legislature, which is to be elected this fall, and which will choose Senator Brice’s successor. The republican party in Ohio, however, like many men, cannot stand prosperity, and some of its worst defeats have foliowed close upon its most remarkable victories. Now, however, there are no new spoils for the party in power to quarrel over. The republicans have controlled every de- partment of the state government since Governor Campbell retired from office. This relieves the party of the usual em- scramble for office, following success at the polls. There is, however, a. sharp contest coming on for the nomina- tions on the republican ticket for state offices. There is to be a “‘new deal,” as the politicians say, all around. The present incumbents, all republicans, are their second No Third Term. * A rumor last week had it that Governor McKinley intended to secure, if possible, the nomination for a third term in the gubernatorial chair. It gave evidence of close relationship to the rumor current during the latter part of his first term, which had it that the office and its duties were distasteful to him, and that he would resign, to be elected to the more congenial office of representative in Congress. The governor has just stated in an interview that he has not the remotest idea of being a@ candidate for a third term, and inti- mated that he did not fancy that method of political suicide. There is an unwritten law in Ohio, which was very forcibly redeclared when Mr. Foraker made the race for a third term, that no man can be elected to three suc- cessive terms in the governor’s chair. Gen. R. B. Hayes was three times elected governor of Ohio, but the terms were not succession. Between the second and third terms there was an interval of nearly ten years. Governor McKinley will, therefore, be a private citizen when the next national re- publican ccnvention meets. His term as governor will expire on the first Munday in January, 1896. It is not likely, however, that he will be any less conspicuously be- fore the people than now for that reason. Financial Troubles Over. ‘His financial troubles are past now, and his property and that of Mrs. McKinley has: been’ transferred back to them by the trustees, into whose hands it was put to be applied to the discharge of his debts, incurred in the great Walker failure. This was all done so quietly that the plan by which the obligations were discharged has never reached the public. It is even said that the governor himself does not know where the money came from to meet his obligations, resulting from his accommoda- tidn of his friend Walker. ‘The whole was in the hands of trustees, of the governor’s choice, to be put, according to their jus ent, to the benefit of his creditors. ent members of this board of trustees were H. H. Kohlisaat, until recently owner of @ controlling interest in the Chicago Inter- Ocean, and M. A. Hanna of Cleveland, in- timate friends of the governor. There is little doubt that these gentlemen solicited subscriptions from wealthy friends of Gov. McKinley to the amount of the obligations. The exact amount of these has never been definitely stated. As the matter never came into court as a case of record, it was never published. ‘They have been estimated at a little more than one hundred thousand dollars. Mow- ever this may be, the obligations of the governor are discharged, and he is left in ¢ very easy circumstances. At the time of the Walker failure Mrs. McKinley’s pri- vate estate was valued at $90,000, and the governor’s own property about the same sum. The salary of the governor of Ohio is only $8,000 per annum, and it is not like- ly that he has been able to save much out of the $32,000 he has drawn from the state. A Comfortable Living. ‘The depreciation of property in the last two years has, of course, affected the gov- ernor’s estate, but he is still left in posses- sion of a very comfortable fortune. Upon the death of his mother he will come into the possession of a third of the estate left by his father, whose death occurred two years ago. This is not a large,one, how- ever. If Gov. McKinley had no further political ambition, he might spend the remainder of his days in the simple enjoyment of life, and still leave a considerable sum at his death. He has no children. But he takes no pains to conceal the fact that he is an active candidate for the republican nomina- tion for President. Ex-Gov. Campbell's Return. While the republicans of Ohio, even those of the Foraker faction, are enthusiastic in booming McKinley for the presidential nomination, the Ohio democrats are claim- frig the presidential nomination of their party in 1896 for ex-Gov. James E. Camp- bell, who has returned after a brief resi- dence in New York, and an unfortunate engagement in the practice of law there, to his old home in Hamilton. There he is at~ tempting to regain the law practice he lost during his service in Congress and in the governor’s office. Soon after leaving the governor's office Campbell invested largely in mining interests in northern Minneso! These, it is said, have turned out += as the result he is in but little better cial circumstances than when he retired from the governorship, and creditors were pushing him hard. In making these investments, he became a borrower to a large amount, and as col- lateral security, pledged a large block of stock in a prosperous corporation, which had come into his possession through Mrs. Campbell. The les from whom the loan was secured :claim these securities were forfeited by non-payment. This is contest- ed, and the matter is now in the court, Despite the gloomy outlook for his party last fall, and the declaration for free silver in-the platform, he took the stump and made the only speeches that were made in the state for the democratic cause. He ig by far the most popular democrat in the state, and if his party is ever in a position to bestow political honors he will not be forgotten. —_-—_—_ Mr. Morrison’s Lecture.
