It was brought to their attention by President Dunlop of the Capital Traction Company, who set forth that a great many complaints | had been made by the traveling public since the new order went into effect. He said: “Persons approaching the cars from any of the side streets cannot see the cars when stopping or standing back of the building line, which they are required to do under the regulations; nor can the gripman or | conductor see such person, hence the car Starts and leaves the passenger to take the next car, to his discomfort and great in- dignation. Then the cars are delayed con- stantly by passing vehicles in front of them, preventing them from starting up. Most of the cities which changed from the far to the near side of the crossing have | changed back again, because of the same difficulties which we have met with. I ask in the interest of safe rapid transit and the convenience and comfort of the public that you make the change and return to stop- ping on the far side of the street.” President Dunlop inclosed a list of the patrans of the company who have petitioned for the far-side rule. Upon motion of Com- missioner Truesdell the Commissioners re- ferred the matter to the police Meutenants for their report. The report was made through the major of police, and stated: “I have inquired of all the lteutenants, and they, wthout a single exception, state that they have heard of no complaint against the present system, and, in their opinion, it has proved beneficial.” Commissioner Truesdell, upon the receipt of the report..-moved that letters be sent to all the street railroad companies, request- ing them to inform the Commisstoners whether the regulation referred to has, in thetr judgment, been beneficial or otherwise. The Other Roads. The following responses have been re- ceived: Gentlemen: In reply to yours of the 15th, in which you ask if the regulation requir- ing street cars to stop on the near side of ngs has been beneficial, would say that in judgment of the company the near side of street crossings, in as it is less dargerous to the public and patrons of street cars. Respectfully, R. F. BAKER, President Columbia Railway Company. Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your favor of the 15th of May in regard to the regula- tien requiring street cars to stop on the near side of street crossings. Beg to state that we regard same as more advantageous to the company than stopping on the far side of the street or here and there upon the road. Respectfully yours, CHAS. P. WILLIAMS, General Manager, Brightwood R. R. Co. Sirs: Answering your note of the 15th in- stant, I leg to state that, discussing the matter with our superintendent, Mr. H. ‘T. Purdy, who has more closely observed the operation of the cers under the recent reg- u:ation than I myself have done, Mr. Purdy states that he cannot find any ‘appreciable difference hetween the new and old methods of stcpp'ng the cars. The matter is com- peratively of less importance on a line | svch as the Georgetewn and Tenleytown, which has not a great many busy crossings to make, than would be the cace on a line ike the Metrcpoliten or Capital Traction. My personal experience as a passenger on lires is that in good weather there is little Gd fference felt by the passenger, but in bad weather the topping on the near side is objectionable, especially with service of two or three cars running fn trains. There is probably, however, a greater element of safety in stopping on the near side than stopping on the far side. Yours truly, 0. T. CROSB President Georgetown and Tenleytown Railway Company. Ss BEST NOT TO INTERFERE. Se ‘etary Herbert's Intimation to the Clerks in the Navy Depactment. Secretary Herbert has persuaded the clerks In the Navy Department favorable to the Tawney bill for the retirement of clerks that it was best not to attempt to interfere with legislation on that or on any other question. A petition had been prepared by a number of clerks expressing their views in regard to the retirement proposition, which petition it was proposed to forward to Congress. Hearing of it, Secretary Herbert summoned the chief clerks of the various bureaus into his of- fice and advised them not to send any united expressicn to Congress on the sub- ject. site sald he believed such action might prove inimical to their interests or in fere with the success of the proposed measire. There was no objection to this or any other bill which would make the civil service more attractive, but he did not like the idea of the clerks taking any or- ganized part in behalf of the bill. This view of the matter has been accep by the clerks, and their petition to Congre: will be destroyed.

DETECTIVES SATISFIED. Believe Randolph mmitted the Buxton Assaults. Special Dixpateh to The Evening Siar. GAITHERSBURG, Md., June 8.—Interest in the Buxton assault case has by no means atated, and those who have been directly interested in the investigation are still hunting for proof, but not for clues. They are satisfied that they have the right men in custody, but the Baltimore officers have been unable to find the slightest bit of evidence against Neal. So far as Ran- dolph is concerned, they feel confident that the evidence already in iheir posses- sion is sufficient to hold him for the action of the grand jury. They are positive that his statements concerning his movements in Montgomery county are untrue, for he was here two days before he sald he left Georgetown. He has been located along the Frederick road, as well as in Rock- ville, as carly as Friday and Saturday, and the evidence shows that he must have re- traced his footsteps more than once. Now that he has been located near the home of Bun Watkins Sunday afternoon, frem where the ax with which the crime was committed was taken, no trouble in having him held for the crime is anticipated. But there is absolutely no evidence against Neal, so far as the Baltimore officers have discovered, and they see no reason why he should be held. Now that Neal Is prac- tically out of the case, to the minds of the Baltimore officers, they are casting about for a theory as to Randolph's prob- able motive. What his motive could have been they are unable to ascertain. ‘The prisoner Randoiph has been “‘sweat- ed” several times, but he has not said one word to indicate his alleged connection with the crime or anything that might be used against him, except the statements concerning his movements, which are un- true, according to the evidence. Last evening the Baltimore detectives and State's Attorney Kilgour went to Washington and called to see the Buxtons at Garfield Hospital, but as Mr. Buxton was asleep they returned without seeing him. Detective Seibold has dropped out of the ease temporarily for the reason that he is engaged in a murder case at Centerville. ‘The question of giving the prisoners a preliminary hearing has been asked many times, but no one, official or citizen, seems to know what course is to be pursued. It has been hinted that the case will go direct to the grand jury, as it is deemed unwise to return them here at this time. The feel- ing against them is bitter, and, although the Baltimore officers can find no evidence to connect Neal with the case, the citizens here are generally of the opinion that he got Randolph to do the deed, and that he was not far away, probably at the English house at the time. ‘hat the men must have a preliminary is conceded by the officers, for the grand jury will not assem- ble until September, and the men cannot be held so long a time without some kind of a judicial inquiry. ae White pine stock boards, 12 inches wide, at $1.75, 100 ft.

Jority of one hundred at the Chicago cou- vention, they are still besteged with all kinds of fears as to the outcome of the convention. They imagine the gold stand- ard men making various combinations with weak-kneed silverites and with the con- servative men of that faction. They imag- ine themselves cheated out of their victory, nd can almost see a man they do not want foisted upon them, The talk of Stevenson, Morrison, Matthews and Campbell is wor- rying them, as stated in The Star, and the Stevenson boom is causing them more anx- jety than ail the others. ‘The extreme silver leaders in the House, like Money of Mississippi, Terry and Dins- more of Arkansas, Bailey of Texas, Tal- bert of South Carolina and others, very freely express themszlves to their friends on this latest phase of the democratic situa- tion. They know that they have victory in their grasp in the nomination of a silver man at Chicago if they can hold the silver men In line, but they know also, and al- lege, that the gold men will work hard to prevent the nominetion of a radical silver man as the candidate for President. They will, it s alleged, vote for almost any com- promise candidate who may be suggested. They will even suggest a man themeelves. What One of Them Says. To a Star reporter one of these men said: “There is no doubt that every effort will be made to prevent us nominating a man like Bland, or Boies, or somebody else sof that stripe. Every known argument will be used to get us to agree on a man like Stevenson or Campbell or some other per- scn whose name has not yet been mentioned in connection with the nomination. That is the danger I now see. We will be told that we will get no money to run the campaign. We will be told that the nomination of an extreme silver man will drive the party in the east to a point where it will not supp: the ticket. We will haye compromise shov ed in our ears from morning until night. All these things may tell on weak-hearted men who cannot see much chance for dem- ocratic success in the fall. After all, how- ever, I do not believe that all this will go down. The hope of the party lies in seeking new alliances. The nomination of a good man will bring to us the support of the silverites throughout the ccuntry, and we will win. T have the word of the two go standard republican, Senators that if we do the right thing at Chicago the chances are even that the democratic ticket will he elected. Further than that, we will coniral the next House.” What Another Man Says. One of the oldest democratic offic! and most prominent at the Capitol, whose political sagacity has been recognized in many a fight, said: “All of us recognize the game that fs to be played, but it won't work. Now, I will tell you what I want to see done, and what I am going to work for. I want the platform to declare for the free and unlimited coinage of silver, indeper ent of any other country. I want to see the income tax again upheld, and a propo- sition made to change the Constitution so that the tax can he coliected. I don’t want the tariff mentioned. After this has bec done I want to see Bland or Teller made the nominee. While I admire Boies, there would be just as much democracy in nom- inating Teller. Boies has not been a demo- crat many s, While ‘Teller did more for the south than any man in the country al & time when the south needed friends. With the platform and either of the m« I've mentioned, the next President {s our: Say They WHI Not Bolt. The democratic gold men In the House declare they will not bolt, and will sup- port the ticket nominated at Chicago. They have’ recently renewed their pledges to their silver brethren to this effect. Thi ple s have, of course, induced a more f fe ng than has heretofore exis:- ed, but the suspicion on all sides is £0 j abundant t even the olive branch of peace ext d by the id men is looked upon curiously, and 4 motive is attributed to the allegiance that is proffered. a o- = BOND BILL PASSED, ndly Senate Agninst Their Issue Withoat Congresstonal Authority, At T o'clock last night the Se struggle in the ate over the bill to prohibit the issue of bonds came to an end, and the bill was passed by a vote of 32 to 25.

The foliowirg letter, dated May 16, from Gen. Maximo Gomez to Senor Estrada Palma, the Cuban delegate in New York, was given out at the headquarters of the Cuban delegation In New York yesterday: “There is no doubt that the revolution shas successfully gone through its third period, and is now powerful all over the sland. “The first period was the outbreak. In the second was our organization. Finally, the third period is marked by the invasion of the west provinces. At the start the Cuban family ha@ no fear of the Spanish soldier, and our wounded were safe. But all this has changed since Spata appointed Weyler. Disregardful of the immense interests that he compromised, it was he who again lighted the torch. New cane fields and even some factories were destroyed, as also were several towns and villages, of which the Spanish soldiers had taken possession to depress and corrupt our families. “The revolution proceeds on {ts triumph- al course, and every day that passes may be considered a vietory now for our cause. “The revolution enters now on its fourth period, in which the conflict will assume a severe character for Spain. Summer is death to them; our soldiers, on the con- y, are made of steel, and ihe sun that the Spaniard is a friend to the Cuban. 1 Weyler will go, and it is now Polaviaja will replace him. nish soldier is kind, and has no enthusiasm to keep his courage up, There 1s no spirited soldier when his stomach is empty. The Spanish soldier must be paid and Spain has no longer the money for it “I made yesterday two prisoners, whom I hardly could persuade to go back to their own. They seemed so willing to remain with us and share our abundant food. “What I say about General Weyler is from my perfect knowledge of this man’s history. Iam not influenced by passion or I am simply one of the few sur- of the famous ‘Bell of Casos Re- nd am not the one to forget the bloody scenes of the ‘white rag,’ in which Weyler was the instrument of Valmaseda.” - soe MAINE REPUBLIC S Llewellin Powers Nominated for Gov- ernor and Reed and Gold Indorsed. When the routine business of the Maine republican convention at Bangor, Me., yes- terday afternoon, had been concluded, and Gov. Cleaves had addressed the convention upon state and national issues, Judge Sav- age of Auburn presented the name of Liewellin Powers of Houlton as a candidate for governor. It was quickly seconded by Col. Fred Dow of Portland, and by Ber- tram L. Smith of Patten. The nomination was then made by acclamation amid great enthusiasm. The nominee addressed the convention at léngth, making complimen- tary allusions to the record of the Maine delegation in Congress and expressing con- fidence in the success of Mr. Reed at St. Louis. 2 The resolutions adopted applauded the record of Gov. Cleaves’ administration for four years past, advocate close economy and continued reduction of the state debt, equal taxaiion, popular education, adher- elce to the cause of temperance and im- provement of highw: In national af- fairs the resolutions advocate the restora- tion of the policy of protection “taught by Lincoln, illustrated by the signal prosperity of the country for thirty years and rounded out by the reciprocity of Blaine—a policy adapted to the business of the country and adjusied from time to time to changed con- diuions.”” The financial plank is as follows: e are opposed to the free and unlim- ited coinage of silver, except by interna- tional agreement, and until such agre ment can be obiained, we believe that the present gold standard should be main- tained. A vigorous foreign policy is urged, also triction of immigration and just admin- tion of pension lawe. neerning the shipping industry, the platform has this: ‘We join our feliow re- publicaus of the other states in favor of American ships: a policy approved by Hamilton, the father of American protec- tion, und which gave us our carrying trade in the early days of the republic. The platform closes with a declaration of loyalty to Thomas B. Reed; thanks to the Maine members in Congress, and a pledge of hearty support to the candidate for g re isur Ci ernor. After the passage of these resolu- tions the convention adjourned. a DAMAGES TO WARSHIPS. An eresting Table Prepared ut the Navy Department. An interesting table has been prepared at the Navy Department showing the dam- age sustained by warships by accident dur- ing the past six years. The principal dis- aster was the loss of the Kearsarge on the Roneador reef. The next most costly ac- cident was that to the Columbia, which has been twice injured, once near Phila- delphia, when she struck a sunken wreck and sustained damages to the extent of $10,000; subsequently she was injured to the extent of $1,762 by being improperly dock- ed at Southampton, ngland. Her mere recent accident near Norfolk, when a mer- chant steamer collided with her and sunk, fs not inciuded in the statement, because the full extent of the damages sustained has not been ascertained. Most of the dis- asters are the result of collisions, the costl. instances being those of the Alert, $5, the Monterey, $5,000; the Fern, $4,025, an¢ the Chicago, $492. During the storm of 1891 off Gay Head the tug Nina was dam- aged to the extent of $3,000, and the Galena and Dispatch were total losses. The dis- asters on shipboard under the engineering bureau are comparatively few and trivial. The most costly was that on the Mian nomoh, when the crown sheets of one boiler came down, and it cost $3,400 to re- pair the damage. ++ Naval Orders. Commander C. J.
