DISTRICT DAY TOMORROW An important bill has been introduced in the House by Mr. Grout, chairman of the subcommittee, as an outcome of the strik- ing out of the olause in the District ap- propriation bill graz.ting competition in bid- ding for the electric lighting of the city. The bill authorizes the Potomac Light and Power Company, an existing corporation, to extend its wires so as to enter into com- petition. The bil! proyides, first, that all of the construction which may be done under au- thority of this act shall be, in regard to ergineering features, under the supervision of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia. No overhead wires shall be erected by the ecmpany within the limits of the city of Weshington. In that part of the District of Columbia not included in the city of Washingtcn the District Commissioners may, at their discretion, grant permits for tke construction of overhead or under- ground lines. In the case of the erection of an over- head or pole line, provisions shall be made for the erection of at least four wires, for which the pole right shall be given without charge to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, to be used by them for the erection of such wires as may be employed in the public telegraph, telephone, messen- ger or fire alarm service. In the case of the construction of underground conduits alcng any streets of the ctty of Washing- ten, or streets or roads outside of the city | of Washington, the Commissioners, — in granting permits for such construction, Tay require the company to provide an additional duct at least four square inches in cross section, which duct may be used without charge to and at the discretion of the District Commissioners for the laying therein 9f the public telephone, telegraph, messenger or fire alarm service wires. Additional Ducts May He Required. One of the most important sections of the bil is the one which provides as follows: “The District Commissioners may also re- quire the building of additional ducts be- ycud those strictly required by the com- pery, and in number not exceeding ten; such additional ducts to be subject to rertal by other authorized parties who may frcm time to time be named by the Com- missioners of the District of Columbia to the company owning such ducts, sucn rental to be on a basis of 6 per centum arnually on the cost of said ducts, the maintenarce of the same to ve at the ex- pense of the lessee.” The Commissioners of the District, in granting such permits, may also require that the compamy shail co-operate in the censtruction of the same with any other Party or parties who, by authority of law, may be empowered at the same time to iay electric conduits on the same street, such ce-operation to be to the end that ail such parties shall lay their ducts in the same trench. It is stipulated that as a condition of the right to the continuous use of any such ducts as may be constructed under author- ity of this act shail be that the company to which the rights granted by this act are conveyed, or the igns or successors of stech company, shall, at any time within thirty days from the date of demand made by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia for the supply, along the streets in which said ducts may be made, of are lights of not than one thousand actual candle power under a contract for one year or more, enter into, and faithfully execute such contract, at prices not exceeding $10) per year for each lamp burning all night and every night between sunset and sun- rise. The further condition of the continued right to use the said ducts by the company named in this act shall be that the said company, its assigns or successors, i at all times furnish, on due demand, and to all private or public purchasers having proper facilitles to use the same, electric current for the generation of light, heat cr power, and at rates at least 10 per centum less than those generally charged in the city of Washington during the month of December, 1895. It being understood that the rates here meant are the regular rates Proportioned according to the amount cf current used, and not special contract rates, Territory to Be Used. The authority given for the erection of overhead cr the corstruction of under- ground lines, and the operation of the same, shall extend territorially, as follow: (a) Yo all streets and roads along which no existing lines of any other electric light company may now be established. (») Along such streets as may be occu- pied by the company as the result of sue- cessful competition for the furnishing of lights to the-publie authorities. (c) Along such other strests, or parts of streets, In the city of Washington on or over which there may be, one year from the date of this act, overhead lines of any electric light company (a) Along any streets or parts of stree‘s, whether now provided with electric light conduits or overhead wires, provided own- ers of a majority in value of the real estate fronting on such streets or parts of streets shall petition to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia for the establishment therein of the conduits and electric service of the company named in this act. It is provided that the conduits, which may be constructed under authority of this act, shall be held by the owners thereof subject to the right of purchase by the proper public authorities and for the pub- lic ownership, at figures that shall be cal- culated in the following manner: The origi- nal cost of the conduits to be taken as a basis, to this 6 per centum per annum dur- ing the time when they may not have been rented shall be added to the proportionate cost of all ducts which have been built in excess of the needs of the original owner or owners aad at the demand of the Dis- trict Commissioners. In case of disagree- ment between the owners and the public officers acting under authority of law in the matter of such purchase, such differences shall be submitted to the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, whose dndings shall be accepted ag final by both parties. Should such purchase be made, the original owners to have the prior right over other parties to the rental for a period of fifty years or less of said ducts from the gov- ernment, at an annual rental equal to 6 per centum on the cost of said ducts to the government, such prior right to subsist for the term of ninety days after the date of purchase by the government. More Permission for Gas Pipes. Mr. Babcock has introduced a bill in the House, by request, providing that the Com- missioners of the District of Columbia be authorized to grant to the Pintsch Com- pressing Company, a corporation organized under the laws of the state of New Jersey, and having a plant located in square 269 in said city, permission to lay pipes for the distribution of the gas manufactured at its plant for the purpose of furnishing light to railway postal mail cars and the gas buoys of the United States lighthouse board in the following named streets in Washington, to wit: From the works or plant of said com- pany in square 269, along Maryland avenue to 6th street west, thence along 6th street to the Baltimore and Potomac railroad depot, also continuing along Maine avenue to 3d street west, and thence along 3d street to B street north, thence along B street north to Ist street west, thence along Ist street west to Indiana avenue, and thence along Indiana avenue to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad depot, aud also across 13th-and E streets to the yards of the Southern railway; also from their said plant or station along 13% street southwest, or along such other street or streets as agreed upon, to the Po- tomac river; that said-pipe lines shall be laid under the direction of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia.

Professor A. D. White of the Venezuelan toundary commission made an argument before the Senate committee on the Na- tional University today for the establish- ment of a university at Washington by the government. Professor White took strong ground in favor of this project, saying that in this one important respect the United States was behind the most important of the European powers. He contended that instead of weakening other universities, as had been claimed would be the result, the establishment of a national institution would strengthen all other seats of learn- ing. A leading member of the committee today expressed the opinion that the com- mittee would agree unanimously to a favor- able report. oe Prefers the Associnted Press.

Allen's Beport of the ‘Opzrations _ Daring Last Month: a Work Was Interfered With by Cold Weather and Icee—Improxe- ment to Navigation. Major Charles J. Allen has made a report to the chief of engincers of operations for the improvement of the Potomac river at Washington during the month of January. He says that the construction of the sea wall in the tidal reservoir was continued whenever the weather and the stage of the tide would permit. The foundation bed was prepared, and the lower part of the wall laid to a height of 2.5 feet above low tide for a distance of $0) fect. The total length of the wall around the reservoir will be about 9,800 linear feet. Of this 5,900 clinear fect have been completed and 1,400 partly completed. The river was frozen over January 6, but the ice in the channels Was not sufficiently avy r v~ igation. Tt was soon broken ee rUt nav ed out of the channels January 25. In the tidal reservoir the ice reached a thickness ‘ and remained until January the contract of C. G. Smith & Sones delayed by the ice, and only 210.8 cubic yards were delivered during the month, The reservoir outlet has ei Bie sever $ been practically Improvement to Navigation. “When the present project was adopted,” says Major Allen, “the Georgetown channel Was narrow and crooked and had not sufti- cient depth to accommodate commerce, and the Washington channel was shoal and nar- Tow. The flats in front of the city were alternately exposed and covered by the tide. In execution of the Project there has been dredged a channel from 350 to 550 feet wide and 20 feet deep through the bars betw. Georgetown and Giesboro’ Point. we this channel has filled up above Long bridge, it has been redredged here several times and a training dike has been built with a view of reducing the deposit. In the Washington channel the navigation channel has been dredged to a width of 400 feet and a depth of 20 feet between the Long bridge and the junction of the Washington and Virginia channels. The area between the navigation channel and the wail on section 111 has been Gredged to a depth of 12 feet. ‘The widening and deepening of the Virginia channel below the Long bridge, so as to facilitate the dis- charge of freshets and prevent overflow in the city, is still incomplete. The material dredged from this channel is to be deposited on section 111. All dredged material is de- ed on the flats, and the entire reclaimed ea of 621 acres has been raised to a height of from 6 to 12 feet above low tide. The to- tal amount of material depesited on the re- Claimed area is about 10.6814W06 cuble yards. ‘The sea wall on the margin of the reclaimed @rea has been nearly completed along the Virginia front and the Washington channel front and is well advanced along the mar- gin of the tidal reservoir.” 9 The Wrecked Lady df the Lake. Maj. Allen reports that; the, removal of the wreck of the steamer Lady #f the Lake, in the channel at the Clyde lin¢é wharf, was continued during the montjj, uner the con- tract of Johnston & Tow: |. The work proceeded slowly, however; being retarded by cold weather ard ice, which*madevit dif- ficult for the diver to worl#advantageously. Maj. Allen says that the? méthod of re- moval adopted by the corftractors—that of breaking up the wreck int cémparatively small pieces with dynamite and raising these with a derrick and @: pilé driver—has Proved to be a slow as well as expensive inethod. During the month the remaining machinery, including the engine and the walking-heam frame, was removed, and also a length cf about thirty feet of the keel, in doing which 360 pounds of dyna- mite were used. There remains to be re- moved about 170 feet of keel, with the ad- jJacent part of the bottom of the hull and Many pieces of the sides,-deck timbers, ete. It is expected to complete the re- woval of the wreck this month. - ~ ed Mrs. Johnson. indorsed. At the regular meeting of Lincoln W. R. C., No, 6, held last Friday- evening, Mrs. Arnie W.

INCIDENTS AND SCENES ‘There was but one colored man in the au- dience in Judge Kimball’s court this morn- ing whe. court convened, and there were only two black faces In the dock. In the three cells there were forty-one prisoners, and mary of them were for trial in Judge Miller's court,which made Judge Kimball's procession an unusually short one for Mon- day morning. Patrick Sheridan, a man with a military bearing, whose face had been colored by strong drink, was first in line, and the charge against him was using profane lan- guege in tre Municipal Lodging House. “In one respect,” answered the man, when arraigned, ‘I’m guilty, and in another re- spect I'm not guilty.” “You must plead one way or the other,” sald the court. “Say whether you are guilty or not guilty.” “They, I'll say guilty.” Supt. Cutter of the lodging house was in court to present the case,.and he had two of the helpers there as witnesses. “Sheridan gave trouble all the time he was in the house,” said one of the witness- es. “Last night he was very noisy and profane, ard this morning he renewed his profanity.” “And I heard him, too,” said another man, who appeared on the witness stand. Sheridan thought he had done nothing to justify his incarceration, but Judge Kimball did not egree with him. “You are fined $10 or thirty days,” the judge said to him. = “That's all right,” muttered Sheridan, as he turned to go back to the cell, “I'll at- tend to you when I get out.” “What's that remark,” the court asked. “I didn’t make any,” he responded. “I heard it,” said the court, “affd you will have to pay $20 or sixty days instead of the other penalty imposed.” Fred. Estrand, allas Robert Enright, Thomas Burns, allas Collins, and James Williams were in the toils because of their conduct on C street Saturday night. The men had been drinkinz, and were going to come of the disreputable houses when two of the men were heard to ask for money. “We were not begging,” said one of the prisoners, “The pcliceman is wrong.” Judge Kimball told the young men that the next time they go down into the city they had better let liquor alone, and gave them five days each. Said He Was Robbed. “I'm guilty of one charge,” said Minor Lawson, when arraigned on a charge of dis- turbing the quiet of South Washington. “Of what charge are you guilty?” the court asked. “I was drunk,” ke answered. “But that is not the charge against you, he was told. “You are charged with dis- orderly conduct, and you must enter your plea.” ‘hen, I'm not guilty “Saturday night just after 12 o'clock,” said an officer, “Il was on duty in South Washington and heard loud cries of mur- der. After some trouble I located the noise at 3d street and Maryland avenue, and when I reached there Lawson claimed that he had been knocked down and robbed of a bottle of whisky. I learned from a_by- stander, however, that he had fallen down and broken his whisky bottle.” “Judge, your honor," said the prisoner, “I've been sober several months, and I tried to stop drinking for good, but could not succeed.” “But why were you making so much noise Saturday night?” interrupted the court. “Because 1 was assaulted and robbed,” he answered. “A man struck me in’ the jaw and knocked me down. Then he robbed ea ‘He wasn't robbed, * “Five dollars.” Lawson begged the court to release him, saying he would pay the fine, but the court informed him that the finances of Uncle Sam are conducted on a cash basis, and he went down. said the policeman. Sad Case. A young man named John F. Hopkins, whose mother lives on 25th street, was next in line, and his heart-broken mother ap- peared as a witness against him. Breaking the door at his mother’s house was the charge against him, and Mrs. Hop- kins told of similar trouble she had had with him. ‘He will drink whisky and make my life miserable,” she said. “He has as good a home and room as any young man in this city, and all I ask is that he behave him- self. I wish I could put him some place in the asylum or anywhere else, and I am willing to pay his board. “I can’t live alone,” she said, “but his conduct is such that no one will stay in the house.” Mrs. Hopkins was certain that her son had demolished the door, but as there was no legal proof against him he .was dis- charged. Andrew McNamara, a young man who has no home, was arraigned as a vagrant, and, while he admitted his guilt, he asked that the court release him. “This young man was on the street beg- ging,” said the policeman, “and I had to ar- rest him because he was so bold about it.” ‘Judge, your honor,” said the young man, ‘I hope you will let me go this time: ‘For what?” the judge asked him. “So I can get out of the city.” “Where's your home?” “I ain’t got no home. But, judge, I’ve got a contagious disease, and i hope you won't send me down.” “Thirty days.” Appealed to Brother Kimball. William Thomas was the name given by @ man who pretended he was badly crip- pled, who was in the procession on com- Plaint of a policeman, who arrested him because of his conduct in a lunch room last night. “I wanted credit for a ten-cent meal un- til today,” the prisoner said. “I was not begging. I'm a man who is looking up to God, and I hope, Brother Kimball, that you will let me go this time.” “What's the matter with the man’s leg?” Judge Kimball wanted to know. “I broke my leg several months ago,” the man answered. “Yesterday,” said the policeman, “he was as spry as 8. cricket.” “I’m afraid you're putting on too much,” Judge Kimball said to the prisoner. “Indeed, Brother Kimball, I’m not.” The policeman suggested that the man’s n.ind was not sound, and the court com- mitted him to be examined. In the second batch of prisoners there were several colored men and boys, who represented disorderly gatherings and crap games, and with them were several tramps, most of whom were sent down. Mike Curtis, a young man who has been in the toils many times, was ofe-of Judge Miller's callers today. He was in the toils on the usual charge, assaulting his aged father, whose face showed the result of a Kick inflicted by the erring son. “He came home this morning about 1 o'clock, and wanted to get in my bed,” said the aged man. Then he told the judge of his son’s intemperate habits, and explained how he received the Kick in the face. “We were called to the house,” said Po- liceman Parham. “The young man’s mother came to the station in her bare feet and made the complaint.” ; Policeman Colbert, who was with him, gave similar testimony. ~- Curtis related his side of the affair, and Judge Miller gave him one month in jail. ‘Amy Hayes, a young colored woman, who lives in“Tenleytown, complained against her husband for alleged assault. Jacob Hayes the husband, had been fortunate enough to leave ‘collateral for his appearance, and was therefore not in the toils. The court listened attentively to both sides of the case, and was unable to reach the conclusion that Jacob was as bad as his wife had stated, and dismissed the charge. ee * 5 For a Divorce. ote Kate R.

CAMPOS’ ATTITUDE No One Supposed He Had Abandoned His Country’s Cause. a THE REAL SITUATION EMPHASIZED Cuba Must Be Free or Again Yield to Spain's Yoke. = ae THE RIGATS OF BELLIGERENTS pt eines If the polling of Gen. Campos at this time against the granting of belligerent rights to the Cubans was intended to influence sentiment in Congress on the subject it will fail. No mistake had been made here as to his attitude in the premises. Nobody supposed that he had abandoned his coun- try’s cause. It was already well under- stood that his recall to Spain was the pen- alty Imposed for his statesmanship and humanity, and not because of an aban- donment by him of Spain’s interests on the Island properly pursued. The Real Situa The cable from Gen. Campos, however, serves the purpose of again emphasizing the real situation in Cul Matters have arrived at that pass where a compromise is impossible. Cuba must be free, or again must yield to the Spanish yoke. That that yoke, if again put on, will be harder to bear than ever, is thought to be open to no debate. The Spanish blood spilied in bat- tle, the enormous sums of money spent in the campaigns, the destruction of property incidental to all warfare, will all operate to Make the policy of re-enslavement of the Cubans as severe and as complete as pos- sible. This is piain enough to the men in arms, and 1s contributing to strengthen thelr original purpose of achieving free- dom Campos and Comprom! It was not to be expected that Gen. Cam- pos would concede anything like this. He does not think it is too late to effect a compromise, honorable and beneficial to both sides. He worked for a compromise all the time he was in commaad on the island. He refused to employ butchery, for the double reason that it was repugnant to his nature and he did not think it neces- sary. He denies to the revolt the propor- tions or the dignity of belligerency entitied to foreign recognition, but even as he con- ceives it he insists that it should be put down by methods obtaining in honorable warfare. If Spain triumphs by the use of different means, that Gen. Campos will again come forward with his honorable and humane policy of treating the Cubans fairly and justly 1s considered certain. But what will be likely to come of his efforts? Will his countrymen not treat him thet with greater disregard than they are nov doing? If the policy of Gen. Weyler wins in war, such a policy as Gen. Weyler may propose In peace—Spanish peace—will win then. Gen. Campos will be then, as he is now, a back number—a man without pres- ent credit or a following at home, un- worthy of a serious hearing. How the United States Should View It This, it 1s insisted, 1s the only light in which the United States should view the matter. Naturally, General Campos does not want the Cubans to win; and knowing how advantageous to him the according of belligerent rights by this government would te, he opposes the proposition. But he stands only for a sentiment—a very high and worthy sentiment from his standpoint, but carrying with it no power at home whatever. He stands alone. On the other side are all the men in authority under the government, and they are bent on the most cruel subjugation of Cuba and her people. The war is now to the knife, and the knife to the hilt. Should Congress consider the case as based upon the exact number of men in the field, the character of the arms they are carrying, the number of towns taken and how many hours held, and all that?. Is not enough asserted and con- fessed to show that the Cubans are out in force; that considering the disadvantages under which they are laboring they are putting up a great fight, and that their cause, judged from the American stand- point, is one of the most deserving possible to be presented? Ought a greater showing on the part of the insurgents to be demand- ed at this time? e+ —__ In the Churches. In accordance with an order from the Washington city presbytery, Rev. Dr. Sun- derland yesterday gave notice to the con- gregation of the First Presbyterian Church of the dissolution of the pastoral relations between the church and one of its co-pas- tors, Rev. Adolos Allen. Dr. Talmage an- nounced his intention of hereafter occupy- ing the pulpit both morning and evening. “The Crime of the Century” was the sub- ject of a sermon delivered last evening at the E Street Baptist Church by the pastor, Rey. Dr. J. J. Muir. He drew a vivid pic- ture of the horrors of the Armenian mas- sacres. Mrs. Teunis S. Hamlin made an address to the Y. P. S. C. E. of the Fourth Presby terian Church last evening in the interests of missions, in which she made an appeal for enlarged missionary contributions, in order to pay the overdue salaries of the missionari ‘ De Molay Mounted.
