It is invariably the case that the Senate is more liberal in its dealings with the na- tional capital than is the House of Repre- sentatives. This difference is conspicuous in the District appropriation bill which was yesterday reported to the Senate after hav- ing been the subject of careful considera- tion by Senators Allison, Teller and Cockrell —the subcommittee on the District budget. But even the Senate committee cannot be accused of extravagance. The District Commissioners asked for the appropriation ; the House granted the sum the Senate committee on recommends the expendi- WI,SYS.S6. It is quite probable appropriations ture of $ that the Senate will go a little beyond the recommendation of its committee so there is likelihood of the measure’s carrying about seven million dollars when it goes into conference. There 1s no extravagance such a total.*Every dollar of it, and more, is actually needed to defray the liv- irg expenses of the District of Columbia. The estimates of the Commissioners were conservative and were entitled to more of a response than was given by the House; the nate committee on appropriations has zel the righteousness of the esti- and has done almost everything that could reasonably be required of it by the people whose homes and interests are here. It is undoubtedly the case that local ap- propriations have, In times past, been far from adequate; the desire of successive Congresses to make a show of economy, to the detriment of those over whom they ex- ercised the constitutional right of exclusive jurisdiction, has been a continuing obstacle to such progress as desirable and proper. The District bill, as it now is, comes nearer to being ftir treatment of the nation’s capital than any of its predecessors. Those Washingtonians who read in yesterday's Star the exclusive publication of the amended measure—those who did not were but an infinitesimal minority—must have noted with gratification the increased amounts for sewers, schools, street im- provements and police. Every dollar spent in those departments will result in real and lasting betterment and will, therefore, add materially to the attractiveness of what is already—despite mistaken “economy”—the most attractive residence city in America. Just what will happen to the bill when it is in the hands of the House and Senate conferees may not now be accurately fore- told but the chances are that the Senate Is I'kely to have its way. The House is not soing to carp over a million or so of dollars of proper expenditure if it sees an oppor- tunity to shift the responsibility for the increase to the senatorial shoulders; the nate will bear the imaginary burden with eerfulness for it knows the District's eds and can conscientiously assert that it has done no more than its plain duty. r the equitable increase of appropriations mmended by the Senate committee the ople of the District of Columbia are thankful. -———_ +e ___ Creditable Police Work. The complete identification of Irving Ford as the slayer of Elsie Kreglo, by evidence and confession, puts an end to a brief but exciting search that tested the capacities of the Washington police force to the full. ‘The police authorities took up the Kreglo murder case earrestly ard energetically and have gained a speedy and gratifying success. The clue supplied by the mur- Gerer’s pistol was intelligently followed, prompt description of the fugitive was telegraphed ove: every possible route of flight, and the efficient mayor of Harper's Ferry in a very creditable fashion did the rest. There is now every prespect that speedy trial and punishment will follow, with due observance of those forms of law that must be preserved in cases of capital crime. ———_+ ++ ___ The Battle of Shanghat. Ten American sailors recently successfully engaged, In Shanghal, China, with twice as mafy British seamen in a defensive battle that may be termed the first maritime con- flict between the two nations since the fight between the Shannon and the Chesapeake. National pride cannot avoid a slight upward movement at this news, even though it must be confessed that the Amorican sailors had the better military position. If such deplor- able fracases must occur, it is nafural that victory should be with the Stars and Stripes, though the odds be two to one. Mr. Bay- ard’s sometimes violent people were ably represented on this occasion, and perhaps bis British friends will now see more than ever of truth in his characterization, ———_ + ee The bicycle business and Mr. Hanna's presigential enterprise have managed to distinguish themselves beyond other bfanches of industry in rising superior to the hard times. —__~ os Cheaper Gas, Water. The District appropriation bill, ported to the Senate, as re- has in it more of general legislation than is usually to be found in such measures. A “rider” fre- quently affords the easy and sometimes the only way to secure congressional action on a matter deserving cf immediate atten- tion, but unlikely to get it in an inde- pendent Dill. In this particular measure there has undoubtedly been collaboration between the Senate District committee and the Senate committee cn appropriations, and while in some respects the results will rlease the public, there is also room for criticism. The House of Representatives decided that 75 cents per thousand feet was a sufficient price for gas in this city, and the House so declared in the District ap- propriation bill. The Senate committee eliminated that proposition ard also in- creased the amount to be paid for street Nghting by gas ard electricity. It was not supposed even by the most enthusiastic of tellers in behalf of cheap gas that Con- gress would compel the companies operat- ing in the District to sell at so low a figure as 7% cents per thousand fret; the public faith was pinned to the indeperdent meas- ure—the dollar gas bill which passed the House without any difficulty. The Senate THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1896-TWENTY-FOUR PAGES, District committse is on record as opposed to dollar gas at this time; it prefers a rate of $1.15 with a downward sliding scale until, five years hence, the minimum of $1 is reached. It has been hoped that the Senate would take speedy action upon the sliding-scale proposition, but so far nothing has becen done. The action of the Senate appropriations committee in cutting out the T-cent “rider” gives to the conference committee, which will meet immediately after the passage of the appropriation bill by the Senate, an opportunity to achieve satisfactory compromise between 75 cents and $1.15. If the House should consent to raise the price from 75 cents to $1 the Senate might in all fairness come down from its altitude of $1.15, and a fair com- promise—just and reasonable—could thus be reached. A difference of opinion between the two houses is made evident in the charity schedule, but there is no danger of that difference working injustice to deserving institutiors. Provision is made by the Senate committee for the appointment ef a joint select committee which is authorized to make investigations of the charitable and reformatory :nstitutions of the District to the end that their relations to the gov- ernment of the District and the United States be established. This committee Is to report at the opening of the next session and upon its report will doubtless be founded an equitable plan of distribution. Wholly commendable is the incorporation in the bill of authority to the Secretary of War to resume work on the Aqueduct tun- rel and the Howard University reservoir. It canrot possibly be claimed that such legislation as this is out of place in a Dis- trict appropriation bill, for the purpose of an appropriation bill is to provide those things that are needed, and one of those things which Washington does most em- phaticatly need is a bigger and better water supply. ————~+2+—___. Give the President a Chance. The Star gave its approval Tuesday to a resolution introduced in the House by Mr. Woodman of Illinois cal'ing attention to the President's inaction in the matter of Cuba, and requesting him to proclaim the existence of a state of war in the tsland. Doubt was suggested whether the resolu- tion would accomplish its purpose, but the opinion was expressed that, in view of all the facts In the case, the President ought to be put on record. Since then, Mr. Morgan in the Senate, a friend of Mberty and an eloquent chaim- pion of the insurgents, has introduced and had referred to the committee on foreign relations a joint resclution recognizing the belligerency of the Cubans in arms against Spain. He thinks the resolution will be re- ported back faverably, and that it will pass. The Star sincerely hopes he is jus- tified in that opinion. The resolution ought to pass. It is in tone and spirit identical with the concurrent resolution adopted by Congress, but which, for some reason, the President has ignored. Mr. Morgan wants the will of the people of this country to prevail in this matter, and if the President has a good reason, or any reason, why it should not, he ought to be required to give it, It would seom, indeed, that the President and his friends should welcome an oppor- tunity whereby his attitude ‘n the prem- ises could be clearly and formally defined. As tne case now stands, everything is left to conjectrze. And conjecture has not dealt in a complimentary way with the President. At home he stands condemned for a lack of sympathy with worthy neigh- bors struggling to free themselves from the most brutal and appalling oppression. He withholds his hand while Gen. Weyler pro- ceeds with his bloody business, carrying the torch and the sword as far into the in- terior as h2 Care, and setting industrious bunglars to work with the garrote in the protected towns. Tiis was bad encugh. It is aiways to be deplored when an executive crosses the will of his own pecple to the extent of deserv- ing and receivirg their earnest and em- phatic discpproval It is worse when by such action he invites the condemnation of outsiders, for to the werld at large he stands and speaks for the country. Out- siders, we are now informed, are condemn- ing him severely . A morning contempor- ary quotes by name a business man of Cuba now in Washington to the effect that all foreigners in Cuba arraign the Presi- dent for “moral cowardice” and as being an ally of Gen. Weyler. Every consideration—the desire to be un- derstood by his own p2ople as well as by the outside world—calls for an early and an explicit statement of his position by the President. The question is acute. His own credit and the credit ef the country are at stake. The anti-Cuban “argument” of- fered in the Senate and House will not suffice. Svrely the President is intrenched, or feels himself to be intrencked, behind something more worthy the name of argu- ment than that put forward to defeat the concurrent resolutions. So, let the country hear from him. Let Congress pass the joint resolution and that will make the issue. The President will then be enabled by veto or otherwise to go into the question at length, and show why up to this time be has pursued so extraor- dinary a course. —_ ++ +____ With the issue of this week The Govern- ment Advertiser enters upon the fifteenth year of its existence—a period which has been marked by visible growth and prog- ress.

To Write and Speak. From the St. Louls Globe-Democrat. Charles Francis Adams says a young man should be able to write and speak the English language correctly before en- tering college.

The action taken by the republican state conventions of the week seemed to insure Maj. McKinley’s nomination at St. Louis next month; California led in instructing for the Ohioan and was followed by In- diana and Michigan. Democrats held con- ventions in New Jersey and Tennessee, but did not instruct their delegates. The Presi- dent issued an order including in the civil service most of the offices then remaining cutside of the classified service. By 51 to 6 the Senate ordered an investigation into the facts and circumstances connected with the sale of bonds during the last three years; the six adverse votes were cast by Senators Caffrey, Faulkner, Gray, Hill, Mitchell and Palmer, all democrats. The House passed, without division, a resolu- tion for final adjournment Monday, May 18.

By an explosion of gasoline in a Cincinnati build ing eleven persons were burted in the ruin: a score of others were injured, Two wo- men and two children received fatal in- juries as the result of a gasoline explosion in a Brooklyn tenement. By a vote of 425 to 98 the M. E, general conference at Cleveland adopted the report of the commit- tee on eligibility, and referred the woman question back to the annual conferences, to be voted on again. A thousand men went on a strike on the street railways in Milwaukee. The national electrical expo- sition opened at the Grand Central Palace, in New York. H. H. Holmes, the murder- r, was hanged in Philadelphia. Foreign. The volksraad of the Transvaal republic wos formally opened with a speech by President Kruger, who discussed the re- cent raid in a prudent way. The assassin of the shah was {dentified to be Mollah Reza, who has several times been con- victed of plotting against the shah’s life. The correspondents of several American newspapers were crdered to leave Cuba. Col. North, the millionaire owner of ni- trate mines and a noted sportsman, expired suddenly in London. By the burning of the university riding school at Heldelberg four persons were suffocated and twenty- seven horses perished. The trial by court- mertial of the five men captured on board the American schooner Competitor of Key West by the Spanish gunboat Mensojera was begun at Havana. In London the ex- tradition was granted of Turner and Dun- lop, accused of stealing the Burden dia- monds in New York. Prominent deaths in- cluded Monsignor Louis Galimberti, form- erly papal ambassador to Austria-Hungary, and Vice Admiral Sir Robert O'Brien Fitz- roy, K. C. B. In the District. The District appropriation bill was re- ported to the Senate from the committee on appropriations, carrying a total of $ 961,808.86, an Increase over the bill as pass- ed by the House of $1,524,03847; the bill was amended in many imporiant partic lars. Tuesday a party of officials, inclu Ing Senators McMillan, Proctor and Faulk- ner, Representative Babcock and the Dis- trict Commissioners, went to Philadelpnia to inspect plans recently prepared by the B. and O. Railroad Company for the pro- posed improvement in this city wh grade crossings are to be abolished. * Senate District committee held its last meeting of the session and approved a number of bills, including the Comralssion- ers’ substitute for the highway an sewer bond bills, the act to regulate vivisectio: that to restrict centract labor on public works and that authorizing an extension of the Ines of the Petomac Electric and Pow- er Company. The House District commit- tee agreed to repert the Eckington und Belt railway bill, with amendments strik- ing out some of’ the proposed extension: The conference report on the Capital rail- way bill was presented to the House, but was withdrawn, after a point of order had been made against its proposed amen 1- ment. Announcement was made in bus- iness circles that the firm of Riggs & Com- pany would soon make application for a charter as a national bank. The heulth officer reported to the Commission«rs that he had detected foul odors issuing irom the garbege crematory at the foot of South Capitol street, and a further investisation was ordered. Elsie Kreglo, a white girl of sixteen years, was murdered Momnlay afternoon by Irving Ford, colored, near ker home, just outside the Rock Creek Par! after an exciting chase Ford was cap- tured Thursday at Harper's Ferry, end was brought to this city, where he «cn- fessed, Friday, to the killing.

You call yourself ‘an adviser in gen- {lemen’s apparel,’ and what I want now more than anything else 1s advice.” “We caa show you what is absolutely correct in every department of your at- tire.” “That Isn't what I want. It’s a matter of moral courage. Do you think that in this climate where the weather changes so cften and so much, a man would be justified in disregarding the comment of the untutored mob, and dressing himself in such a way as to insure seasonable- ness.”” “Certainly,” was the answer, “Season- ableness is the first requisite of correct attire.” “All right.
