Franc’ THE LAST HEARING Consideration of the Dollar-Gas Bill Draw- ing to a Close President Winship of the Georgetown Gas Company Appears Before the Senate Committee. The Senate Distyict committee this after- ncon granted what It is expected is the last public hearing on the dollar gas bill now pending before that body. It was under- | stood when the subject was under discus- sion last Friday that after the hearing of today, azranged for a special purpose, the Dill should be sent into the committee in executive session again tomorrow, and there discussed to a finish. This purpose was to hear Mr. Henry C. Winship, president of the Georgetown Gas Light Company, and also the agent through which the Washington Gas Light Company, which is reputed to be the real owner of the Georgetown company, procures its coal. When Mr. Winship was before the committee at the last hearing on the bill there was no opportunity to question him on the cest of preducing gas west of Rock creek, and ss the pending Dill fixes the price of gas in Georgetown at 25 cents higher than in Washington it was deemed advisable to Hsten to tLe reasons for such a difference. When 2 o'clock came Senator McMillan was called away to the committee on com- merce on an important matter, and Sena- tor Faulkner, at the suggestion of other members, took the chair. There were also present Senators Gallinger, Pritchard, Wet- more, Baker, Gibson and Martin. Mr. Winship's Statement. Mr. Winship read a statement, outlining the charter history of the Georgetown Com- pany. At no time in the course of the com- pany, he said, had the price of gas been the subject of congressional regulation un- tilnow. The company has necessarily been very modest and conservative In its opera- tion, in view of the limits of its field. The lowest cost of manufacture, he said, was $1.22 a thousand cuble feet, while the average cost was about $1 10, and the receipts averaged $1.40, giving an average profit of 9 cents and 3 mills a thousand cubic feet. One year, sai] Mr. Winship, the gas at the holder ecst 98 cents a thousand, while the distribution cost 50 cents, leaving a loss on the actual business of making and selllug gas of 4 cents and 6 mills. Had it not been for the sale of by-products and residuals it would have been impossible to pay the dividend of $12,000 which was declared. Impossible to Reduce the Price. Similar showings were made for other years. In 1695 the dividend amounted to nder existing circumstances, urged Mr. Winship, it would be absolutely impossible to reduce the price of gas to $1.25, as pro- posed by the bill, and he referred to the fact that the averige cost of manufacture and distribution during the past three years was $1.21. In view of this, he requested that all ref- erence to the Georgetown company from the bill under consideration be omitted. The competition of the electric lighting business, he said, has made serious inroads into the reccipts of his company. Suys They Are Satiafled. Mr. Winship asserted that the people of Georgetown are quite satisfied, not only with the price, but the quality of the gas furnished, and he asked, In case the que: tion of purity should be raised, that a day be named when Mr. White of New York, well known as an expert on gas, might be heard. Mr. Winship referred to the vartous ef- forts made to produce gas by new methods and urged that the committee should pay no serious attention to such enterprises, but Should investigate the question of just how much it now ersts to produce gas in Georgetown, and he assured the committee that the most eco.omical methods are em- ployed. Small Market for By-Products. Mr. Winship went on to declare that the market for the by-products in other cities was so small in this vicinity that this Item was comparatively small here. At this point Mr. Winship’s time expired, and Sen- ator Faulkner asked him what dividends bis company had declared. The answer was that in 189 the com- pany declared a dividend of § per cent on the capital stock, in 1894 one of 10 per cent, and in 1805 one of 10 per cent. In answer to a question by Senator Baker, Mr. Winship said that the capital stock was $1541,000. The company, he added, made few exten- sions. Mr. Wm. I. Lewis was then heard, to affirm Mr. Winship's statements in refer- ence to the finances of the Georgetown com- any. oar J. H. Raiston, chairman of the com- mittee on public lighting of the board of trade, announced that that organization had indorsed the dollar gas bill. Mr. Winship said he was a member of the board of trade, and he declared that no member of that body had ever asked the Georgetown company for any informa- tion. Mr. Ralston answered that a letter had been sent by the Loard to the Georgetown rly in the investigation, and ved a reply. Where It Gets Its Coal. Just before adjournment of the hearing nator Proctor as! certain questions of Mr. Winship, which developed the fact that the Georgetown Gas Light Company perehases its coal from the firm of whica . Winship is ‘a member, and also that the coal firm has an interest in transpor- tation facilities on the canai whereb; gas coal Is brought to this city. Mr. ship also testified, in answer to Mr. Proc- tor, that his firm sells gas coal to the Washingtor Gas Ligat Company. oo. SUBWAY PROBLEM. THE Chairman Babcock Outlines the Post- tion of the District Committee. The special subcommittee on subways of the House District committeé will consist of Messrs, Babcock, chairman; Harmer, Milnes, Richardson and Cobb of Missouri. The committee will hold an executive ses- sicn tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock to ar- range the preliminaries of the work before them. “I believé the proper solution of the sub- way problem,” said Chairman Babcock to a Star reporter today, ‘is municipal owner- ship absolute of all subways. However, !f that is not obtainable I think the next best method is a system of subways constructed perhaps by a private corporation, but under the control of the municipal government.” This statement by Chairman Babcock is believed to outline the position of the Dis- trict committee on this subject. It there- fore may be accepted as the probable key of the situation that may be developed by the committee's considerations. The com- mittee at its meeting tomorrow will lay out a plan of campaign which may include hearings, and at least will result in an early report upon che subway problem. <6 - — Van Riawick tate. The collectors of the estate of the late Mary Van Riswick, Peyton Gordon and Walter C. Clephane, referring to the in- ventory of the personal estate, yesterday reported to the Probate Court that Mrs. Martina Carr, the caveator to Mrs. Van Riswick’s will, has furnished them with a list of articles alleged by her to belong to the estate, a number of which she states to be In the residence of Mrs. Avarilla Lambert, 1219 Massachusetts avenue, and the balance at the residence of the same person in Oakland. The collectors also reported that they made a demand upon Mrs.Lambert, through her attorneys, for permission to take an in- ventory and appraisement of said articles of personal property, which she refused. Mrs. Lambert denies that several of the a Ucles named by the collectors are on her premises. Others she claims to have owned since December, 1887. Mrs. Avarilla Lambert this morning filed @ protest to the collector’s repert upon the estate of Mrs. Van Riswick, alleging that she-Wa3 unaware Of the proposed fillng of the same, and that, while she denies that arything b-longing to the decedent oz her premises, save what she has already ad- mitted to be at Oakland, she, nevertheless, is perfectly willing for the collectors to make a full investigation of the matter and an inspection of her premises. Judge Hagner authorized the collector to file a supplemental report to correct the alleged error. aial THE OFFICIAL WEATHER MAP, EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken at § a.m., 75th meridian time. bars, or lines of equal alr pressure, drawn for cach tenth of an inch. lines of equal temperature, drawn for ench ten degrees, Shaded ai snow has fallen during preceding twelve hours, The words “Hig Small arrows fly with the wind Areas of high and .ow barometer, Selld lines are 1s0- Dotted Mnes are Isotherms, or is are regions where rain or and “Low’ show location of FAIR WEATHER, But Tomorrow It is Predicted That It Will Be Warmer.

INDEPENDENCE OR NOTHING Peace in Cuba Obtainable on No Other Terms. A Deerce of the Government and an Article in the Guban Consti- tution Prohibit It. Representatives of the Cuban republic in this‘city have discortinued all discussion of the proposition reported to have beea made by the United States to Spain looking toward mediation in the affairs of the lat- ter nation and the revolutionists in Cuba. Sencr de Quesada and his colleagues de- cline to answer any questions propounded on the subject. It is believed that their reason fcr adopting this course may be found in the fact that according to their view there is no possible chance or prob- ability of the Cuban war being brought to an end by any other means than the achievement of absolute independence by the Cuban people’ who are now fighting for it. It would be dangerous indeed for any person to prepose any other means of settling the controversy, because the only atsolute decree issued by the present gov- ernment of Cuba, which prescribes a pun- ishment without granting to the offender a preliminary trial by court-martial or otherwise, relates to this very question. The Declarations of the Decree. The decree in question was drawn up during the last revolution by Thomas Es- trada Palma, who is now the chief repre- sentative of the Cuban republic in the United States. This decree was reaflirmed by Gens. Marti and Gomez shortly after they landed in Cuba in Marca, 1805, and has been reissued by the present Cuban government over the signature of its presi- dent, ihe Marquis de Santa Lucia. It de- clares that any person who shall suggest within the Cuban ranks a settlement of the present war on any ground less than that of absolute independence shall be im- mediately shot without a court-martial. If that were not sufficient to prevent the corsideration of other terms of peace by the Cubans there is a clause in their con- stitution which would stand in the wa: Article 11 of that document recds as fol- lows: “The treaty of peace with Spain, which must necessarily have fer its basis the absolute independence of the Island of Cuba, must be ratified by the government council and by an assembly of representa- tives convened expressly for this purpose. Cubans Unanimous Against Promises. It is claimed, therefore, that any offer of its services on the part of the United States government to bring the Cuban revolution to an end would result in noth- ing unless there was @ great and sudden change in the sentiments of the Cuban people. So far as the Cubans in this coun- try ar2 concerned, they are said to be a unit agtinst accepting any promises of re- form that Spain might make, even if they included the broadest sort of home rul They claim to be convinced that their brethren in Cuba are on the sure'road to success in behalf of their cause, and are enthusiastic in their declarations that Spain will be driven to acknowledge the independence of the island in spite of her- self. So they scout the idea of the republic accepting any terms from Spain gave on the lines laid down as stated. ——_—_—_-o+—____ Hagerstown Convention. The republican district convention for the sixth district of Maryland convened at Hagerstown yesterday, and after a stormy session unanimously elected Dr. S. T. Haff- ner of Frederick county and Mr. Robert S. Crawford of Washington county, Mc- Kinley men, delegates to the St. Louis na- tional convention, and Mr. Charles B. Jones of Montgomery county, and Mr. Da- vid E. Dick, a memb2r of the Maryland legislature from Allegany county, alter- nates. Mr. Merritt Wilson of Garrett coun- ty, was elected presidential elector from the sixth Maryland district. The convention turned dcwn a set of resolutions brought in by the resolution committee, and adopted by a_ two-thirds vote, after a protracted and heated dis- cussion, substitute resolutions offered by Albert _A. Doub of Allegany, ‘‘commend- ing” William McKinley, jr., to the dele- gates to St. Louls. The regular resolu- tions “instructed” the delegates for McKin- ley. Upon motion of ‘he secretary the del- tes to St. Louis were instructed to use all honorable means to have Senator-elact George L. Wellington placed on the re- publican national committee.

It may have been snowing at Cheyenne this morning, but Major Dunwoody, who is running the prognostication end of the Weather bureau this month, sald that there was no chance of snow in the District today. One of the clerks was diligently engaged in fanning the bulb of the official thermometer to keep it down to April form. “Yes, it is pretty hot," admitted the major, as he mopped his brow, where drops of honest sweat stood out as if he had been a blacksmith. “In point of fact, this is the hottest spell of weather Washington has ever known curing the second decade of April. Certainly, there has been nothing like it for the past twenty years. That thermometer over there just struck eighty- five even at noon, That means that it will be ninety at ieast when the first Washington msn strikes out when the league season opens this afternoon. That’s unprecedented for this time of year.” “And tomorrow?" suggested The Star re- porter, ‘There was a shade of sorrow, almost of shame, on the face of Major’ Dunwoody as he spoke In a low and far-away tone: “It will be hotter tomorrow morning than it was this morning. In fact, it will be hotter all day tomcrrow. Do not blame us for it; it is not our fault. Ii is hot all over this part of the country, but I don’t mean that records have been broken everywhere as they been here. Night before last we prophesied that there would be snow in Colorado and Montana ctady, and the snow has come on time. But we'll not get the benefit of {t here. It will be cooler Saturday, but it will not be a blizzard by any means. It may begin to get cooler by tomorrow evening, but Saturday will certainly show an improvement. Tomor- row will be the sixth consecutive day of warm weather, which breaks the record for time as well as degree.” There were two things today that made the heat more bearable. The first was a slight treeze that moved at intervals dur- irg the day end brought some relief to those perspiring people who have not yet cared to doff their winter clothes in favor of their last year's thinner ones. ‘The sev- end was the fact that the first limes of the season have appeared in market. They are expensive and scarce as yet, but they have given lots of people the opportunity to indulge in the festive and seductive rickey. “There's no money for us in rickeys,” sald a loquacious mixer of mixed drinks teday, “so long as limes are 50 cents a dozen and the whisky trust keeps up the price of raw materials. But we make up for it in lemonades. I must have made 2) of them yesterday afternoon, and today will be even greater than that. uleps?| Well, we have some mint, but it is not really first-class yet. Mint, you know, isn't at its best: it hasn't that re- freshing fragrance until jt is in season here. Hothouse mint may answer for spring lamb, but it is not the thing to go with crushed ice.” ——__ A Single Tax Mécting. At the meeting of the Single Tax Club jast evening at Typographical Temple, Mr. Thomas F. Monahan, who has represented the Washington organization, and been engaged’ in the active campaign in Dela- ware for the past three months, told of the victory which is sure to come next No- vember in the little state. The single taxers would control the coming constitutional convention, which would declare that all taxes for state, county and municipal pur- poses should be raised only from land values exclusive of improvements. President Biller presided, and addresses were made by Mr. E. F. Magee, Secretary Wilson of the Associated: Charities, Mr. Newburg and others. ————_ Board of Trade Excursion. At a meeting of the board of directors of the board of trade held yesterday afternoon it was decided to give another of the ex- cursions to Marshall Hall, with the all- important accompaniment of a planked shad dinner, for which the hall is famous, which have proyed so popular for several years past. The afternoon of Saturdg@y, May 9, has been selected as the date for the out- ing. The steamer Macalester will convey the party to and from Marshall Hall. The arrangements will be in charge of a special committee of five, which will be named by the president at an early date. Government Receipts.

ABOUT CLUBS AND LIQUOR The Morton Organization Up in the Police Court. The M. ing Liquor Without a License Testimony Offered. js *( ager Declared Guilty of Sell- The Morton Club and liquor and gambling cases were called in the Police Court today for trial, and Lawyers Langston and Ricks appeared in the cases as counsel for James Perkins, colored, the club’s manager, against whom the charges were preferred. In the gambling case counsel waived an examination, and the case was sent to the grand jury. Prosecuting Attorney Pugh, for the Dis- trict, called the liquor case, and during the preliminary discussion he said there seems to be an understanding that clubs have to have a license to sell Nquor, but, he added, the courts have not so held. In this case, however, he would contend that there is no club. The first witness examined was a white guest of the colored club. His name was given as Edward Martin. He wanted a drink one night after hours, and a member of the club named McCoy treated him. Dwight Miles, a colored barber, testified that he had been served beer and whisky in the Morton Club. “What club?” the court interrupted. “The Levi P. Morton Club,” responded counsel. “Are you a member of that club?” Mr. Pugh asked. “Yes, sir, 1 guess 80.” Ls “How did you become a member? “Registered at the bar.” . “Did you pay any initiation fee?” the court asked. “No, sir.” Martin Mulrce, a saloonkeeper, who went in the club with George McCoy and the witress Martin, testified that he had been —————d FINANCIAL ectric Lamps.

Mr. Ricks asked if Payne had not said he was here under a democratic administ tion, and that he might lose his situation if it were known that he was connecied with the Morton Club. Witne: answered that Payne had not made such a state- ment. This closed the proof for the District, and counsel for the defendant asked that the charge be dismissed. “Any lawyer would ask court. This motion was promptly overruled, and the court took occasion to make some re- marks about the sale of lquor in club rooms. Refer2nce was made to the Press Club case, and between that and the ea before the court, the judge said, there wa as much difference as there is between da. and night. The judge said he had never laid down any rules governing the sale of liquor by clubs, and each case must stand on its own footing. It took a great deal to con- vince him that the Press Club was not liable, but the weight of authorities favored the club. The only question involved in this class of ses is whether or not sales are made. Where a man goes into rooms of this kind when he has not become a mem- ber of the organization and contributed money to its support, the furnishings of lquor to him is a sale, in violation of law. Mr. Pugh said that only about two weeks ago the court of appeals of New York ex- pressed similar views upon this question, and socn after the Press Club case was dis- posed of the supreme court of Missouri fol- lowed the line of the decision in that (the Press Club) case. ‘I make these remarks,” said Mr. Pugh. “to congratulate your honor and let you know that these other courts benefited by_ your decision Counsel for Perkins conclided th; would make no defense, and asked court, in view of the good character of their client, to impose a light penalty. Reference was made to other clul na money spent in them, and Judg fer said that he sympathized with these wors- ingmen, who can ill afford to spend their earnings in this way. The defendant was held guilty, and the court imposed the lowest penaity—$250 or ninety days in the workhouse. eS a The Debtor Clerks, To the Editor of The Evening Star: Anent Anon's “Clerks and Their Cred- ‘tors,” in a recent issve of The Star, it is an indisputable record fact, knowa and read of all men who have had dealings with gcvernment clerks, that many of them do not generally pay their honest debts. T! fact has become proverbial. And the re son is manifest. A certain department em- ploye, receiving a big salary, repeatedly re- fused to pay an honest debt due my clients, albelt they had indulged him until it had nearly outlawed. We obtained judgment against him and thereupon requested the head of his department to take cognizance of said judgment debt; but he deftly and Gebonnairly evades the issue by protesting that he cannot permit his great department to become a mere collection agency. Hence, such dishonest employes seek shelter under the departmental aegis, knowing that they are immune from all legal attacks, and can laugh with impunity at their honest judg- ment creditors. SINE CERA. ee Admitted Their Guilt. Entering an outbuilding with intent to commit a felony was the charge upon which John Allen and David Johnson were arraigned in Judge Miller's court this morning, and they admitted their guilt. ‘There were chickens in the outhouse and the young colored men were there to get them.
