Mr. Cockrell’: ce lution read as follows: Cockrell’s Resolution.

And the said Com: joners of the : and the commissioner of public s and grounds are further requested permits to trie Lightirg Compa 1d United States to supply such ong or contigu- s to the line of its existing wires as may in the judgment of the safd respective Com- Ele additional electric lights missioners be deemed necessary to further rotect life and property during the crowd- ing of the District with people for the pur- pose of witnessing the said inauguration: Provided, That stch of said additional lights, poles and wires as are placed in s ave and parks are supplied by sald company free of cost to both the United States and the District of Columbia, as further part compensation for the priv leges “heretofore granted said company by Congress. And provided, That the said com- will remove, at its own cost, all such rary wires, lights and poles whenever sted to do so by the said Commis- of the District of Columbfa or the missioner of public buildings and pany tem grounds. What It Proposes. Mr. Harris moved that the resolution be referred to the committee on the District of Columbia, and Mr. Cockrell replied: “I hope that if the resolution and the sub- stitute are referred to the committee on the District of Columbia that committee will give the matter immediate attention. It is a very important question whether we shall have three or four or a half dozen électric light companies in Washington tearing up the streets from time to time, or whether we shall have one or more com- panies under the direct control of Congress and compel them to do what we desire to have done. No one desires that there shali be a monopoly here. Congress will not tol- erate it. No one wants to have companies come in here, get charters, do a little work, and then compel or try ‘to intimidate or fo! r companies to buy them out at enormous prices. “The substitute proposes to make the ex- ng company furnish until June next, of cost, exactly the lights which the ict Commissioners want, and to let the other matter remain until’ the commit- tee on the District of Columbia can make some permanent arrangement for having all these subways under general control. This was the intention of what was en- acted at the last session. It was to give the District Commissioners an opportunity to make one general system of subways and control them. Mr. Gallinger’s Remarks. Mr. Harris urged that the resolution be sent to the District committee, whereupon Mr. Gallinger took the floor, and his words seemed likely to bring on a Mvely contro- versy. “Some ten days ago,” said Mr. Gallinger, “TI offered, and there was passed through the Senate, a resolution looking to an in- quiry by the committee on the District ot Columbia of substantially this very subject. So far as I know, no movement has been nade In that direction beyond that. But I observed in the newspapers of the city o1 Washington a few days ago a statement, apparently authentic, to the effect that the Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia had conferred with the committee on the District of Columbia, and had re- ce assurances from the committee on the District of Columbia that that resolu- tion would not meet with their approval, and that, ecting upon that assurance, the Commissioners of the District of Columbia had proceeded to sign certain contracts which bad been held up in their office for some time. Mr. President,”" continued Mr. Gal- Tinger, do not know with whom the Com- missioners conferred. Very likely they con- ferred with my distinguished friend, the Senator from Tennessee, and the other dis- tinguished members of the committee. They did not confer with me, and I am not in any wise responsible for the newspaper Statements. I think they are nccurate. Nor do | assent to doing business in that way in the Senate or on the part of the com- mittee on the ‘District of Columbia.” Mr. Harris replied that that was the first he had heard of such a conference as tha’ egested by Mr. Gallinger as having taken place, and said he did not take part in it. ‘This statement brought Mr. Gallinger to his feet again. Did Get Cert: Information, “I bave sufficient information,” he said, “to justify the statement that the Com- missioners did get certain information in the room of the District of Columbia com- mittee. The resolution I refer to has been before the committee for a couple of weeks. No action has been taken upon it, and yet we have assurances that if the pending resolution goes there immediate and sincere action will be taken upon it. I do not care to discuss this question. I believe there is a scheme on foot in the District of Colum- bia which will not bear very close investi- gation. I believe that the gentlemen who came here at the last session of Congress and solemnly said they only intended to lay their wires west of Rock creek—they said it to me, certainly; I think they said it to the committee, and I believe the com- mittee on appropriations acted upon the statement—and who are getting permisgion to lay wires on the east side of Rock are not acting in very good faith. It does seem to me, inasmuch as the committee on appropriations took action upon this sub- ject during the last session of Congress, that the matter should be held up until the committee has had an opportunity to in- vestigate it further. It is a matter of no concern to me personally.” A vote was taken on the proposition to refer Mr. Cockrell’s resolution to the Dis- trict committee, and was carried by 25 to 21. ————__—_+ 2+. —___ REFUGE FOR HOMELESS WOMEN. A Modest Little Effort to Befriend and Help Poor Girls. There has been opered at 1135 9th street a home for poor girls, women and children, who are without friends or homes in Wash- ington and wish to earn their living. A friend of the institution writes to The Star in regard to this home as follow: “In the few weeks since the opening of the home it has won the confidence and’ loving interest of quite a circle of Christian men and women. The house is comfort- ably furnished, and is without a trace of the ‘institution.’ It ts just such a retired and homelike place as any woman's heart might wish for. “Those for whom the home was created are a class to themselves. They are girls of the better sort, from good and sometimes prominent families. They are in no sense ‘failen women’ in the odious meaning of that unfortunate term. But they are so- cially outeast, and too often find their enemies to be those of their own nolds. They are too often girls wear- ing the engagement ring, with its sad his- tory of betrayal. They loathe the life of sin, and belong to the class who, over- whelmed by disgrace and regret, commit suicide or resort to the crime of infanti- cide. The girl of higher instincts, shrink- ing from deeper sin, seeks a place of ref- uge and heroically faces the results of a false step. In this home that girl finds such a refuge, and at the hands of strang- ers, whose mission it is to succor in the hour of need. She finds friends, pity and hope for the future. In this home she may live even for years, acquiring courage to go forth into the world a self-respecting wo- man, and ability for honorable self-sup- port. A woman made destitute by death or the abandonment of a rightful supporter, may here find protection for herself and her children. No woman, honestly seeking a pure life, need say she is compelled to go to the street for a living, for to all such this home is open. “It has been the experience of intelligent workers in this line that the mixing of all grades and conditions of unfortunate wo- men but fosters the very evils the work is organized to overcome. Hence, this home is created for the prevention of evil, rather than for the rescuing of those long given to vice. Its chief aim Is to give new heart and hope to the girl who has made the sad- dest of all mistakes, and who stands in such sore need of friendship and encour- agement, that in her despair she may not drift into greater sins. “The directors of this home believe that great results must follow the proper man- agement of a work along this special line. They also believe that any work of this character should be conducted in as quiet and unobtrusive a manner as possible. Be- lieving that self-respect can only be main- tained by an effort at self-support, the managers of this home expect each mem- ber of the household who is at all capable of doing so to aid in the support of the home, end in that way to contribute to her own support. To this end some members of the family attend to the laundry work, some go out to work by the day, some sew and look after the house, while others take charge of the little ones. ‘Miss Olive Sampson, a bright young lady of our city, is conducting a kinder- garten where the older children of the house receive instruction, and where, for a small consideration, the little children of poor mothers who must be away at work through the day can be left and receive the best of attention. Every Sabbath motning @ group of the older children is takea to Calvary Baptist Sunday school, where Miss Pollock takes charge of them in her Sun- day school kindergarten. “Miss Virginia Taylor, one of our bright- est public school teachers, gives part cf her leisure time to night classes in the various branches for the benefit of the girls, thus giving them an opportunity to broaden their lives. A Bible class Is taught every Sunday morning. Evangelistic services are held every Sunday morning and every Fri- day afternoon under the direotion of an evangelistic committee of Christian work- ers from various churches. “At the present time there are more than forty members of the household. About eighteen of these are children from six weeks to five years of age. This home seeks no appropriation from Congress. “They seek their meat from God,’ and live by their own brave efferts and by the gifts of those whose hearts are opened to them. Believing that if good people know of the existence of this work its support will be assured, the management knew of no ket- ter channel of enlightenment taan The Star, the paper that has always stood as the befriender of the friendless and the channel between ‘him that hath and him that hath net.’ “As the feelings of every member of the home are respected, the private rooms of the house are sacred to th2ir occupants. But in the nursery, with its family of little ones, and in the kindergarten, friends are always welcome. Food of all hinds, gar- ments for women and children, kedding, table linen, chairs, fuel and money are very acceptable and very necessary. “Any reader of The Star whose heart prompts him to make a Christmas offering to some of the poor of Wasiington can find none more worthy than those sheltered at 1135 Yth street northwest.” ae STEEL AND IRON POOL. Dissolution is Not Probable. Representatives of twenty of the largest steel and iron companies in this country met yesterday in New York with a view, chiefly, of deciding whether the present pool shall continue in existence or be dis- solved. Major L. P. Bent of Philadelphia was cheirman of the meeting. These companies were represented: Carnegie Steel Company, limited; Pennsylvania Steel Compau: Maryland Steel Company, Lackawanna Iron and Steel Company, Bethlehem Iron Company, Cambria Iron Company, Ash- land Steel Company, Ohio Steel Company, Riverside iron works, Shenango Valley Steel Company, the Johnson Company, Wheeling Iron and Steel Company, Otis Steel Company, limited; Hainsworth Steel Company, Junction Iron and Steel Com- pany, King, Gilbert & Warner Co., Jones & Laughlin, limited; National Tube Works Company, Cleveland Kolling Milis Compa- ry, Illinois Steel Company. When the meeting adjourned Secretary Griscom announced that nothing definite had been decided upon, owing to the ab- sence of a report from one of the largest interests. This interest, it is presumed, is the Bellaire Steel Company of Bellaire, Ohio, which some weeks ago drew out of the pool, thereby causing an immediate slump in the market. It was also learned from a trustworthy source that the Carne- gie Sceel Company evinced a disinclination to agree to certain terms in a supposed new agreement. In reply to a question, Secre- tary Griscom said: “I do not think that a dissolution of the pool is at all likely. On the contrary, I believe that it will be strengthened in a very short time.” ——__+ e+ ____ TO TAKE POSSESSION. its Considered Senator Pettigrew’s Resolution as to the Union Pacific. Senator Pettigrew has introduced a joint resolution directing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay to the holders of the Union Pacific Railway Company 6 per cent trust notes the amount due thereon and take possession of the bonds and stocks now held as security for said notes. 2 _ Venesuela Boundary.

In view of the disposition of the present manage- ment of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, as stated by Recetver Murray in an interview with a Star reporter, and which was published in The Star a few days ago, to build sidings wherever needed along the road for the purpose of developing business, General Manager Greene will, it is under- stood, be asked by some of the prominent members of the Northeastern Suburban Citizens’ Association to straighten and extend for about 150 yards the present siding at Langdon. There is authority for stating that if the Baltimore and Oblo company manifests any inclination to make this improvement President Walton of the Citizens’ Association will secure the necessary right of way free of cost to the company and that an enterprise will be at once rted by a citizen’ the outcome of which will be a jarge increase in the revenue of the railroad ‘comp:tny It is also belie extended, w ed that the switch, if at once 1 be of much use to the company for the ‘storage of cars during the inauguration ceremonies. It is also the intention of some of the citizens of Langdon to make au appeal to Mr. D. F. Maroney, the superintendent of transportation of ‘the Balti: more atd Ohio, to have an additional coach attached to the passenger truin whicu gets to Langdon vn its way to Washington at 7:13 o'clock in the morning, as there are a large number of persons who are in overnment employ and whose homes are in Lang- {on and vleniity. who board the train at that point, but who can only at long iutervals find any seating secommodatious. In view of the fact that the Baltimore and Ohio does more business at Langdon, the freight traffic alone reaching more than 2,000 tons yearly, than at any other station on the Washington ‘branch except Laurel, the residents of the neighborhood think they are entitled to the con- sideration referred to and will at once urge Super- intendent Muroney to provide the additional facili- ties to be asked for without delay. In conversation yesterday with the correspondent of The Star, Assistant General Manager Gil of the Baltimore and Ohio told the former that he could assure the people of Langdon through The Star that the fence between the tracks at the Langdon station, the building of which is regarded as a matter of extreme importance by them, would soon be erected, as he had already given orders to General Superintendent Fitzgerald to attend to the matter as soon as he could possibly do #0. It is the intention of some of the public-spirited citizens of Langdon and Avalon Helghts to see if there is not some feasible way by which the two subdivisions can get electric lights on the streets and in the houses, and the officers of the Potomac Light and Power Company, which, it 1s understood, 4s, under the recent decision of the Court of Ap- peals, prepared to extend its field of operations, will be called upon and asked to comprise Langdon and Avalon Heights In thelr plans. inaugu @ large constituency.
