Conferees on the Sundry Civil and ‘District Appropriation Bills at Work, The Senate today passed a bill for the regulation of beneficial associations in the District of Columbia. The bill has passed the House of Representatives. The Senate made numerous amendments of nimor im- portance, and conferees were appointed on the part of Senate and House. The conferees on the sundry civil bill were in session today. They are Senators Allison, Hale end"Gorman and Representa- tivés Cannon, Sayers and W. A. Stone. Conferees on the District of Columbia ap- propriation bill were appointed by the Vice President today. They are Senators Teller, Allison 2nd Cockrell, and Representatives Grout, Pitney and Dockery. They will not get together to consider the bill before late this afternoon. The Von Essen Estate. The House this afternoon passed the bill to distribute the estate of the late Peter von Essen among the heirs. District Appropriation Bill. The District of Columbia appropriation bill, which passed the Senate, was laid before the House at 10:30 o'clock this morning. Mr. Grout, who is in charge of the bill, had the measure sent to .confer- ence, and the conferees will meet during the day. . Mr. Morse of Massachusetts gave notice that, when the time arrived he would ask the House to instruct the conferees to in- sist upon the House provision relating to appropriations for sectarian charitable purposes. The Court of Appeals. The House yesterday passed the follow- ing bill: “That In all cases hereafter arrising in which py law the decrees and judgments of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia are final it shall be competent for the Supreme Court to requ’re, by cer- tiorari or otherwise, any such case to be certified to the Supreme Court for its re- view and determination, with the same power and authority in the case as Sf it had been carried by appeal or writ of er- ror to the Supreme Court. A Body Supposed to Be That of Cl Lewin. What may possibly turn out a murder came to light late yesterday afternoon, when the body of a man about forty years of age was discovered in the James Creek canal, at a point opposite O street south- west. Several boys playing in the vicinity first saw the ghastly object, and they has- tened to the office of Harbormaster Sutton, who at once dispatched the harbor police boat Joe Blackburn to the canal, under command of Officer Dean. The body was floating back upward. The dead man was colored, and was well dressed, wearing a blue serge suit, a heavy ulster, a pair of new gaiter shocs and had on gloves. He Was smooth faced. The supposition of foul play is strengthened by the fact that a deep dent is plainly visible on the back of his head, and there were signs of a blow on the back of the neck, the blood having coagulated there. The body had probably been in the water for about a month. The dead man wore a gold ring with the letter “C.” There was no money, and no further clew whatsoever as to the identity of the man. At a late hour this afternoon the body was fully identitied by relatives as that of Clem Lewis. The friends of the dead man are inclined to believe that his death was due to foul means, and it is probable that #n inquest will be held to determine that question tomorrow. ee BASED ON AN ERROR. Now the Suit Against Gen. Alger Has Been Dixminned. en. Russell A. Alger, who is to be the next Secretary of War, has recently been somewhat embarrassed by the fact that there was pending against him in the United States courts in Michigan a sult which rested on the charge that the firm of which he is a member had violated the law by cutting timber from government land. For some time the case has been in the hands of his attorney, wno has re- cently persuaded the land office in this city and the Attorney General that the suit had no equitable foundation, inasmuch as the land from which the timber was cut belonged not to the government, but to Gen. Alger’s firm. Consequently the At- torney General last Saturday directed the United States district attorney at Detroit to dismiss the suit for the lack of proof and Gen. Alger is free to enter the new cabinet without being confronted by a lawsuit instituted by the government of which he is a prominent factor. This turn of the case has greatly gratified the com- ing Secretary of War, especially as the de- cision in his favor was granted by a politi- cally hostile administration, and, the de- cision having been rendered solely on the merits of the case, there can be no sug- gestion of undue influence in the premises. ‘To a Star reporter who asked about the matter Gen. Alger said today: “All I know is that the timber cut vy the company was upon land which we bought and paid fcr and were the owners of. Some question arose as to the title, and tie gov- ernment brought suit. I am not very fa- mittar with the details, but if you want them you caa see my lawyer, Mr. Duane E. Fox of this city.” Mr. Fox said in answer to inquirie: he suit which has just been dismissed ougant never to have been brought. It arose frum a complication in the land office records running back to the year 1857, when Joha Trowbridge of Detroit purchased the land involved from the government. After pass- ing through other hands the land was bought by Alger, Smith & Company, in 1892, and In December, 1804, they started in to lumber it. Meanwkile the United States land office at Grayling, which con- ta:ned the only correct description of Trow- bridge's purchase, was burned, with all its records, and the secords were replaced by ccples from the general land office in Washington. These copies erroneously sub- stituted for the land purchased by Trow- bridge # tract which had been patented to the state under the swamp grant in 1853, and left apparently vacant the land which Alger, Smith & Company had purchased. Thereupon it was taken as a homestead claim by a man named Bullock. The gov- ernment also, treating the tract as public land, brought sutt to recover the value of the timber cut by Alger, Smith & Company upon their own land, and it is that case which has been pending in the United States court at Detroit.’ More recently, however, upon a full consideration of the conflicting rights to the land, the commis- sioner of the general land office decided on February 17 last that the land was no longer a part of the public domain, and that the title was in Alger, Smith & Com- pany. Thereupon the commissioner and the Secretary of the Interior united in a request to the Attorney General to have the suit which had been brought at their instance dismissed, and the Attorney Gen- eral promptly and properly complied with the request.” _——_ Jefferson’s Birthday Anniversary. The National Association of Democratic clubs, of which Chauncey F. Black of Pennsylvania is president, and Mr. Law- rence Gardner of this city secretary, will celebrate the one hundred and fifty-fourth birthday anniversary of Thomas Jefferson on April 18 next by a subscription dinner at the Metropolitan Hotel on Pennsylvania avenue, where the first birthday anniver- sary dinner was held, in 1830, the hotel at that time being known as the Indian Queen ‘Tavern. The ial guest at the dinner next month will be Mr, William Jennings Bryan, who has consented to respond to principal toast—‘ hes, some of them having been featufes of the 1830 een ee Special Policemen Sevorn in for In- uguration Week—Miscellancous News of the Day. ty The glee, banjo and “Ynandolin clubs of Georgetown University’; made their first public appearance last ;gvening at Gaston Memorial Hal! beforg,,an audience that was select and which ,filled the large hall. The place was prétiily, decorated for the occasion, and the programs were souve- nirs of the event, being printed on rough gray paper in blue ink, forming the colors of the university. There were in all twelve numbers on the program, which opened with the “Georgetown March,” composed by Prof. Callan, the director of the banjo club, whose catchy and swinging compo- sition proved to be quite an attraction on the program. All the various numbers were well rendered and all were encored. Special Policemen. Thirty-taree special policemen were this morning placed on duty in Georgetown for the inauguration ceremonies, each regu- lar policeman haVing one special assistant. The specials will remain on duty for five days, and receive $2 per day for their- services. While there were over 100 apoli- cations for the positions filed at the seventh precinct, there were only about one-third of the number appointed, eight of whom are colored. During the parade many of the men of this precinct will be stationed along the line of march. Policemen Jack Maher, Harry Lohman, Matt Edwards, H. G. Pratt and Kavanaugh will be mounted and ride at the head of the procession. Policeman G. M. Edwards, who is stationed at 32d and M streets, has been detailed for duty at the monument grounds all of this week Western High School Musicale. A musicale will be given at the Western High School tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock, complimentary to the students and the public. Those who will take part are Miss Caroline Dale Parke of Cincinnatt, pianist; Miss Alice Judson, soprano, for- merly of the Hinrich’s Opera Company; Miss Helen Todhunter, violin, and Mr. Juttus Parke, a senior at Yale, New Haven, violoncello. The old maids’ party given last evening at Masonic Hall, on 32d street, by the man- agers of the Bon Ton Dancing Academy proved to be a drawing card, and there was a large crowd of young people present to witness the fun. About 10 o'clock in the evening the floor was cleared, and those In co8tume were allowed to have it. Miss Emma Johnson, for her unique cos- tume, was awarded the prize, a handsome gold ring. Special mention was made of the costume of Mr. Randolph Koester. Dancing was continued until midnight. AFFAIRS IN GEGRGETOWN Glee Club Concert Last. Night a Great Miacellaneous. Mrs. John C.

Davis was busily engaged today inearranging the busi- ness of the office, and expects to proceed with the trial of cases as soon as the juries for this month are completed, which will probably be tomorrow or Friday. Neither Mr. Davis nor his friends are particularly disappointed because of the action of the Senate yesterday afternoon in laying his nomination on the table. It was understood by his friends, after his ap- pointment by the District Supreme Court that Mr. Henry E, yesterday, if there was the least doubt of his confirmation by a safe ma-! jority, no djrect vote should be taken dur- ing the present session of the Senate. When questioned today respecting yes- terday’s action of the Senate, Mr. Davis explained to a Star reporter that he felt ccmpel led’ to refuse to say anything. “I “decline to discuss the action of the Senate. With that action I am entirely content. As respects my course, I see but one thing to do. The bvsiness of the office is greatly congested. The court aid me the signal honor of ap- pointing me to clean this business up. This I mean to do to the best of my abil- ity. I will do my duty urtil some one else is designated to take my place. Any other course would, in my opinion, not only be petty, but would also be disre- spectful to the court which has paid me the high compliment of its indorsement. And, of course, I shall go on with the present force of the office. As I take my arpointment by the court, I was put here to do the’ work of the office, to fill a ‘gap, and that is what I mean to do.” Mr. Davis. also declined to say whether he does or does not expect President Mc- Kinley to send his name to the Senate, but his friends do not hesitate to say that they expect President McKinley to either ncminate him or allow him to remain in office. wat ——— THE HOUSE DISSATISFIED. must,” he said A Resolution ax to, the Platform ‘for the Inaugural Ceremonies, Considerable dissatisfattion has been ex- pressed in the past féw'days by members of the House over th¢ arrangement of the Capitol platform for.the inaugural cere- monies.

Burr C: is the Attention of Con- gress to the Wording of the District Appropriation Bill. The Commissioners today sent to Con- gress a letter from Capt. Edward Burr, en- gineer officer in-charge of tne street light- ing department, recommending changes in the pending appropriation bill. His letter is as follows: % “1 have the honor to invite your attention to the amounts named in the District ap- Propriaticn bill as it passed the Senate for the two items of public lighting by gas lamps and by electric arc lamps. The amounts named in the House bill are $135,- 000 and $55,000, respectively. In the Senate bill the” gas lighting item is increased to $155,000 and the electric lighting item is re- duced to $40,000, Inadequate Appropriation. “This latter amount is much smaller than the amount appropriated for the current year, and, notwithstanding the reduction in the price of arc lighting, will not matn- tain as many lamps as the current appro- priation or gs the needs of this service urgently require. There are now lighted or under contract to be lighted before the 4th instant 505 arc lamps, and all of these lamps should be permanently maintained if possible. To provide for the maintenance of these lamps, for the expenses of insjcc- tion and for urgently needed extensions in streets occupied by rapid transit lines, and in which conduits now exist, it is recom- mended that the amount fixed by the House for are lighting, namely, $55,000, be urged for adoption in’ conference, even if it be necessary to maKe a corresponding reduc- tion. from the Senate figures of $135,000 for gas lighting. Such an arrangement would give a much better balanced street lighting service, par- ticularly in view cf the fact that an in- crease in the electric lighting service per- mits of the extension of the gas lighting service to new localities by the transfer of gas lamps from streets in which arc lamps are introduced. Legalizing Overhead Wires. “Attention is also invited to the fact that the wording of a portion of the Senate amer.dment to the are lighting item inten- tionally or unintentionally legalizes all ex- isting overhead wires. The portion referred to is as follows (page 26, lines 3 to 7, in- clusive): ‘Provided, however, that the Commissionrs of the District of Columbia are hefeby authorized to issue permits for house connecticns with conduits and over- head wires now existing adjacent to the s with which connection is to be “There are row in existence in the city of Washington many miles of overhead wires, erected since 1886, and thereby with- out authority of law. Unless it is intended in the above-mentioned amendment to leg- alize these illegal wires, it is recommended that this amendment be amended by in- serting the word ‘legal’ before the words ‘overhead wires’ in line 5, page 28.” ee VAN RISWICK WILL. THE Waiting This Afternoon for the Jury's Verdict. The question of the validity of the will of the late Mrs. Mary Van Riswick was given to the jury for determination by Judge McComas shortly after 11 o'clock this morning, and at 11:15 the jury retired to their room to deliberate on their ver- dict. : The conchjding arguments in the case wre made yesterday, the first day of the seventh week of the trial, by Mr. Jere M. Wilson, on behalf of Mr. Wilton J. Lam- bert, who is defending his grandmother's will, and by Mr. A. S. Worthington, for Mrs. Martina Carr, who charges that th2 instrument was procured by undue influ- ence exercised upon her mother by Mr. Lambert or by his parents. Mr. Worth- ington concluded late’ yesterday afternoon, when Judge McComas adjourned the trial until this morning, announcing that he would charge the jury today. In instructing the jury this morning as to the law and evidence, Judge McComas did so in the presence of a crowded court room, an unusually large number of mem- bers of the bar being present. The judge's charge was a very elaborate and carefuliy prepared one, and was referred to by those members of the bar who heard it as being one of the ablest ever delivered in a Dis- trict court. The Charge to the Jury. Judge McComas told the jury that mod- erate or honest persuasion exercised upon a testator will not void his will under a charge of undue influence. An influence due to love or affectionate regard is not undue influence, for undue influence, he explained, means such force or coercion as prevents or destroys the free agency of the testator. Undue influence has been exercised, the judge further explained, when the disposi- Ucn of the estate is that of some other person or persons, and not that of the tes- tator. That is, wien the instrument does not express the intention or purpose of the testator, but that of some other person or persons. The judge instructed the jury that where undue intluence is charged,*as in the present case, the burden of proof is en the party making the charge, Mrs. Carr in the present instance, and the charge must be sustained by a fair vre- perderance of evidence. Mere suspicion or the existence of an opportunity to exercise undue influence is not sufficient to sustain such a charge, und ‘while it would be right fer the jury to con- sider the fact that Mrs. Van Riswick had two years in waich to revoke her will and did not, it would also be proper for them to consider the testimony offered by Mrs. Carr to show that the will remained in the custody of Mr. Lambert during that time. The judge told the jury that they had ro right to set the will aside merely because it might not accord with their ideas of what is right. Nor were they au- therized to reject it because they might think it an unreasonadle one. For if a ccurt or jury should condema a will for such a reason, the right of a man cr wo- man to make a will would be taken from them, and the will of the court or jury would be substituted for that of the testa- tor. -In concluston, the judge urged the jury to take their own time in deciding the question, and not allow personal con- venience or passing incidenis of the day to interrupt or curtail their deliberations. —___ CATCHING THE CROOKs. A Well-Organised Force of Detectives Patrolling the City. Right merrily are the detectives on duty in this city gathering. in the light-fingered gentry. The entire force of outsiders have now reported for duty, and they include the most ‘skillful thief-catchers and de> tectors of crime in the United States. In addition to two regular men from the large cities of the country the local force is aug- mented by several of Pinkerton’s experts. It has already been demonstrated that every crook with any sort of a reputa- tion will be at once taken-into custody the minute they show themselves in public. These skilled detectives are thoroughly fa- miliar with the identity of the big crooks, and no time is.lost in relegating them to the confines of a station house. What is considered a capture of more than ordinary importance was the arrest this.morning of William Hawley on Penn- sylvania avenue by Detectives Horne and Weedon of the local force and Detective Hogan-of Baltimore.
