Rumors of Democratic Senators Ob- jecting to Mr. Ross Because of His Financial Views. The spasm of opposition to the confirma- tion of Mr. John B. Wight as District Com- missioner has passed almost entirely away. and only a few weak tremors remain to show that It ever existed. The only objec- tion to his appointment seems to have been made by persons who claimed that Mr. Wight was not sufficiently rampant as a republican to meet the requirements of ultra partisans. It has been sufliciently proven, however, that Mr. Wight has al- ways been a conscientious believer in the principlés of the republican party, and that it was only by reason of his birth and con- tinued residence in his birthplace, where all citizens are disfranchised, that he has rot been enabled to vote in accord with his convictions. There was a constant string of visitors at his office today, who called to offer their congratulations, and his mail was burdened with letters expressing the gratification of the writers at his nomina- tion. Among the letters was one from Mr. August Donath, who was a formidable can- didate for the appointment, and who was strongly backed for the place. Mr. Donath wrote very pleasantly, stating that as an applicant for the position himself he de- ired to warmly congratulate Mr. Wight and to assure him of his assistance and co- operation in every way possible. “As to your being a republican,” said Mr. Donath in conclusion, “I do not know whether you are or not, but if you are a gcod republican for President McKinicy ycu are a gocd enough repubiican for me.” It is confidently believed that Mr. Wight’s nomination will be taken up and favorably considered in the executive session of the Senate Monday afternoon. Mr. Ross has also continued to receive an ion, participated in by citizens of all classes and political opinions. There iS some talk of his nomination being opposed in the Senate, but it is not believed that ihe oppesition will amount to much. It is said that the democratic members of the Senai>, cr many of them, object to supporting a democrat who did not support Mr. Bryan ard the Chicago platform, claiming that this is the test of democrac WIPED OFF. Interesting Incident in a Note-Rais- ing Ca: James Cassidy, a young white man, was convicted in Criminal Court No. 2 yesier- Gay afternoon of having in his possession last morth a raised $2 silver certificate end of passing it on Richard Jernings for a $10 bill. The prisoner was remanded to jail by Judge Bradley to await sentence. Among those who testified for the gov- ernment during the trial was Chief W. P. Hazen of the secret service office. It was claimed by the secret service officials that the $2 bili had been raised by certain stamps or similar instruments, and it was shown that such things had been in Cas- sidy’s possession. The defendant was de- fended by Attorney Thos. C. Taylor, who claimed that there had been no forgery or substantial raising of the note. He de- nied the assertion of the secret service officers that the note had been raised or altered by occult and unknown means. And when Mr. Hazen said that he did not know that the marks made on the bill for the purpose of raising it could be moved by means of a damp clota, Taylor surprised everybody present by stantly removing the marks with a damp- ened napkin handed him by a court official. It took Mr. Taylor about half a minute to wipe the figures $10, which had been placed on the figure 2, and the character X, which had bzen pleced over the word two on parts of the raised bill, and when he had done so a clean $2 bill remained. Then Mr. Taylor smilingly explained to the court and jury that the alleged use cf stamps or dies was not resorted to, as claimed by the government, stating, for the benefit of the secret service officers, that the process which had been resorted to involved simply pencil or brush work with water color paints. To assure hims:If Judge Bradley took another of the raised notes, and wetting his thumb ruvbed off the marks placed on it. Mr. Taylor submitted that while his client might be guilty of falsc pretenses in passing the rote for a $10 bill, when, in fact, it was a $2 note, he could not be held under the indictment which charged Cas- sidy with forgery. The court held déffer- ently, however, and the defendant was convicted. Mr. ———— FALSE ALARM. Six Companies Turned Out With Noth- ing to Do. This morning six companies of the fire department were called out by the sound- ing of an alarm from box 147, corner of 15th and I streets, and when the firemen arrived there they learned that the sound- ing of the alarm was the result of an ac- cident. A young man in the employ of the Instantaneous Fire Alarm Company had tripped the box while making an in- spection, and instead of cuttirg out the bex before a round had gone in he stood there and allowed the three rounds to go in. He was there when Assistant Chief tz arrived, but as the affair was an lent there was nothing that could be and the firemen returned to their houses. At fire alarm headquar- Was Stated that an experienced elec- triclan ought to have cut out fhe box as on as he discovered that the accident had happened. The men employed in. the department had met with similar accidents, but they had a!ways succeeded in cutting out the box before one round went in. It nas been oniy a short time since an alarm was sent in from the weather bureau over one of the Instantaneous Company's wires the result of a practical joke. A telephone message purporting to’be sent by the pres- ident of the company, asking that the glass be smashed and the alarm sent in, was received at the bureau. The sender cf the message said he wanted this done to test the box. The test was all that could be desired, for the firemen were soon upon the scere and there was nothirg for them to do. done, Se For the Suffering Cubans. The program which has been prepared for the benefit to be given at the Columb‘a Theater Sunday evening for the Cuban hospital fund promises to be unusually en- joyable. The artists who have volunteered their services are aH well known in the music world of Washington, and the num- bers that will go to make up the concert will be enjoyable in every respect. The sale of tickets, which has been progressing for some days, indicates that the financial success of the affair will be fully as great us the musical, and that the people of Washington will take hold of the enterprise and show their sympathy for the heroic band of insurgents who are battling for their freedom in Cuba in a most practical way. —_——--—— Repairs Urged. School Trustees Harries and Mrs. Ter- rell, representing a special committee of the board of trustees, appeared before the Commissioners this afterncon to urge an appropriation in the deficiency bill of $3,u00 for the repa'r of the Lovejoy Public School. ‘They represented the bu‘iding as being in a wretched condition and urgently in need of repair.

Covenant Lodge and the Movements in Other Organisations — Local Notes of General Interest. Trinity Church was packed last evening with members of the congregation and oth- ers to witness the chanting of the beautiful office of the tenebrae. The services began promptly at 7:30 o’clock, and the chanting, especially by the choir of fifty-one boys’ voices, was excellent. The solo work of Mr. Michael Scanlon was perhaps the best eyer heard in the church. After the tene- brae a sermon was delivered by Rev. Fath- er Conway of St. Aloysius Church, on the Jove of God for the people and His estab- Ushment of the sacrament of eucharist. This morning at 9 o'clock the mass of the presanctified was celebrated, including the chanting of the passion and the adoration of the cross. From this mass until tomor- row no bells will be rung in Catholic churches. This afternoon at 3 o'clock, the hour that the Savior is supposed to have ‘expired, the stationg of the way of the crcss were read. This evening at 7:30 the tenebrae will be chanted for the last time, followed by a Sermon, and the adoration of the relics of the true cross. Tomorrow the services will be quite long, commencing at 8 o'clock in the morning. The paschal candle and font will be blessed, followed by a solemn high mass, The same services will be held at the Dehigren Memorial Chapel at Georgetown University, and also at St. Ann's Church, at Tenleytown. This evening the last of the holy week services will be held at the West Washington Lutheran Church.

The engine house at North Capitol and Quincy streets, which was to have been completed April 1, is still unfinished. A member of the firm of Colum- bus Thomas & Son, the contractors, | came before the Commissioners this morn- ing to urge an extension of time without penalty, claiming in extenuation that he was delayed by the subcontractors in fur- nishing material. He also claimed that the inspector on the work was against him, and had reported against him. ‘The report of the inspector upon the 2p- plication of Mr. Thomas was then read, and set forth that he thought the delay was due entirely to the contractor’s neglect. He | cited an instance where the contractor had put in defective iron plates under the beams across the front door, even in the face of his protest. Afterward he com- pelled him to substitute proper plates. -Again, on February 10, he took all the workm:n from the building and put them to work on the observation stands for the inauguration, and the workmen did not re- turn to work until March 9. He denied that_he had any personal feeling against the contractor. The contractor, in his argument, made a serious charge against the inspector, claim- ing that he had urged a bricklayer to patch along in order that he (the inspector) could draw his pay. ‘This charge will be investigated. ‘The Commissioners, after discussing the matter, decided to remit the penalty until May 1, but insisted upon the deduction of the pay for the inspector. od Swarthmore College.
