The purpose of the Post Office Depart- ment to limit the number of deliveries in the residential portions of cities having the free delivery service to four a day will be bitterly opposed by the cities interested. Already protests have begun to pour in and the matter has been taken up by con- gressmen. Representative Quigg and Pos! master Wilson of Brooklyn yesterday called upon Mr. Heath, the first assistant postmaster general, to protest against the enforcement of the order. They both in- sisted that such a change would not be tolerated by the citizens. ‘They were informed that the order had been issued for the purpose of preventing a deficiency, and the only way the present service can be maintained is by an in- crease in the appropriation, Representative Quigg said the New York delegation was a unit on the question, and would do its utmost to secure a sufficient appropriation to continue the present serv- ice. It_was shown during the interview that in New York city there were seven de- liveries a day in the residential section and six a day in Brooklyn, In Chicago there are but three deliveries a day. —_—_—_--e.__—_ NEW REVENUE CUTTERS. Senator Frye’s Bill to Authorize Con- struction of Eight. Senator Frye yesterday introduced a bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to have eight vessels constructed for the use of the revenue cutter service, four of them to cost $160,000 each, one of them to cost $250,000 and the other three $45,000 each. The first four are to be used in re- Placing the Seward, the McLane, the Col- fax and the Boutwell and the last three replacing the Washington at Philadelphia harbor, the Hamlin at Boston harbor and the Chandler at the New York harbor. The $250,000 vessel 1s to be used at the Co- lumbia river bar on the Pacific coast. The bill was introduced at the instance of the Treasury Department. The old vessels to be replaced are complained of as obsolete and unfit for the service required. —————— Measures Recently Introduced. The following bills were introduced in the House yesterday: By Mr. Gardner of New Jersey, to amend the labor law so as to Umit to eight hours the daily’ service of laborers and mechanics employed on the public works of the United States and in the District of Columbia; Mr. Dayton of West Virginia, to divide the state into two judicial districts; Mr. Reeves of Illinois, to amend the patent laws to allow more rea- sonable use of inventions and discoveries by the public and to protect patentees; Mr. Miers of Indiana, to pay-eight and one- third dollars per month to each private or non-commissioned officer serving for thirty days in the late wur for such time as served, Mr. Barham of California, to cre- ate a department of mines and mining. ————~——__—_ Navy Department Experiments, The Navy Department; has just been making some experiments with manganese steel plates for gun shields.

P. C. Gar- rett of Philadelphia, Darwin James of Brooklyn and others, who serve without compensation beyond expenses. The board was originally known as the peace commis- sion, and was instituted under the Grant regime for the avowed purpose of guarding against frauds in Indian contracts, etc. It examines the bids for Indian supplies and co-operates with the government author- ities In protecting the Indians and the pub- lic ageinst irregularities. The House com- mittee felt, however, that the board was a superfluous adjunct to the public conduct of Indian affairs. The Senate committee on military affairs ordered a favorable report on the bill in- creasing the military force of the country to the extent of two regiments of artillery. The purpose of the bill is to afford a suffi- cient number of men to protect the new guns and mortars which are being put in place. It was stated in the committee that by next August there would be 151 guns and 232 mortars, which would be entirely without protection. Work on the diplomatic and consular ap- propriation bill was begun by the House committee on foreign affairs. The bill has no general features outside the usual pro- visions it has for conducting the foreign service. . The House committee on invalid pensions by a unanimous vote decided against aban- doning the Friday night sessions for con- sidering pension legislation. It is expected that the committee on rules will act on this yote and retain this session. At the meeting of the Senate committee on Indian affairs a favorable report was ordered on the bill prohibiting railroad companies whose lines traverse Indian ter- ritory from charging more than three cents a mile on passenger traffic. It was stated that some of the companies now exact five cents per mile. The minority report of the House com- mittee on the judiciary on the bankruptcy bill was submitted to the House yester- day. It is signed by Messrs. Terry of Arkansas, De Armond of Missouri, Under- weod of Alabama and Smith of Kentucky. The minority members report that they are unable to agree with the committee in recommending “the amendment, in name, but substitute, in fact,” which the committee has reported to the House. The mincrity say they do not believe that the bill as so amended, with the extensive powers it confers on the federal courts, is a wise and just measure or one which should be passed. Representative Boutelle, chairman of the House committee on naval affairs, return- ed yesterday, and work was begun on the naval appropriation bill. The import- ant questions of new ships and armor plate will not be considered for some time, the purpose being to settle first all the regular items for carrying on the naval establishment, and then take up the more serious questions. Secretary Long has sent to the committee a large number of bills covering various naval features. It has been thought expedient, however, to pro- ceed in the usual way to frame the biil, allowing the ideas of the committee to be mainly instrumental in maturing it, rather than the suggestions from without. Sec- retary Long will be invited to appear be- fore the committee, and all bureau chiefs will have a hearing. Members of the com- mittee say that the sentiment as to addi- tional battle ships, cruisers or torpedo boats has not yet crystallized, nor is any line of action in view on the vexed aues- tion of the cost of armor plate or the es- tablistiment of the government armor fac- tory. —_—-eo-—_____. A CROSS-TOWN LINE. Why Eckington Citizens Want the U Street Line Extended Eastward. A committee of the North Capitol and Eckington Citizens’ Association has placed the following statement, favoring the ex- tension of the U street underground clec- tric line eastward to North Capitol street, before the Senate and House committees on the District of Columbia: . “Authority to build this extension was sranted by the act approved April 30, 18 in an amendment to the charter of th Rock Creek Railroad Company, which was the Immediate predecessor of the Capitol ‘Tracticn Company. It is proposed that this authority should be revived in the Capital Traction Compary at this time for the rea- sons that: “1. Congress, by the act above referred to, has apportioned this territory to the Capital Traction Company, to the exclusion of other companies. “2, During the winter of 1895-96, about 1,000 persons, residents and property own- ers of the immediate territory proposed to be traversed by this extension, petitioned the Capital Traction Company to build the extension, and the president of that com- pany some time later stated to the repre- sentatives of the petitioners that, on pre- senting the matter to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, he was inform- ed that if a permit were requested to build the extension as granted by the act of 1892, it would have to be refused, on the ground that, although a portion of the extension; that is, that part between 6th and 7th streets, had been constructed, the Commis- sicners held that the right to finish the ex- tension had lapsed, and the permit could not, therefore, be granted. The president und other representatives of the Capital Traction Company stated at that time that they would have completed the extension had they been able to secure the necessary permit. “3. The proposed extension is but a few blocks in length, being considerably less than a mile, and the maximum cost, it has been estimated, would not exceed $30,000. It could be constructed most economically when the present U street line is being re- modeled, which the company announces it intends soon to do. “4. This extension would complete what it as present the most feasible and availa- ble cross-town line, inasmuch as it would be accessible to the eastern residents now not served by the Columbia railway, and would afford a reasonably convenient means of transportation to the intersecting lines of the same road at 7th and 14th streets,and also afford convenient facilities for reaching all sections, both city and sub- urban, now covered by the Capital Traction Company and its connecting lines. “5. A careful estimate justifies the state- ment that this extension would meet the present needs of from 8,000 to 10,000 per- sons living in the near vicinity of the pro- posed extension. In addition, a large num- ber of persons who visit the several ceme- teries in this vicinity, the Soldiers’ Home, the Catholic University and other institu- tions, would be accommodated. “6. Special attention is called to the fact that much of the section to be served by this proposed extension 1s thickly popu- lated, and at present is absolutely without street car facilities. “7, At the time this company is asking for favors at the hands of Congress to serve undeveloped sections of the District, and also portions of the community which are resisting the granting of such privil- eges, it may not be improper to suggest that if Congress in its wisdom sees fit to grant the additional extensions asked for, / it should couple them with the requirement that the company shall build this extension ‘previously authorized, which the company has expressed its willingness to build, and which the people are earnestly demanding shall be built.” . ——————-.+____ Sentence Was Too Light. Action has been taken by the Navy De- partment on the case of Lieut. Frederic H. Lefavor, executive officer of the gunboat ‘Wheeling, who was convicted by court- martial, at Mare Island, of the charge of drunkenness on duty, but was acquitted of the charge of scandalous conduct. The sentence of the court was that he lose four numbers on the list of Heutenants. This was approved by the department with the mment that the sentence appeared to be lequate for the offense, “AN OFFICE-HOLDING CLA! Representative Lioyd’s Opposition to the Civil Service System. After The Star's report of proceedings in the House of Representatives yesterday closed, Mr. Johnson attributed the present “discordant and disgraceful scene” now being enacted tn Ohio, with its “visions of senatorship going glimmering,” to the scramble for spoils, state and national, and sald that the surest way to put Bryan and his black banner in the White House in 1900 would be for the republican party to be recreant to its trust and to slap in the face those who believed in an honestly conducted service. Without desiring in any way to reflect upon the present occupant of the White House, Mr. Johnson said he was convinced that there could be no genuine civil service reform until by con- stitutional amendment the President was made ineligible for re-election. As long as he was eligible for re-election he must necessarily be more or less under the domi- nation of machine politics. After express- ing his confidence in President McKinley Mr. Johnson concluded with an eloquent appeal to him to stand by the principle upon the perpetuity of which the perma- nece of our Institutions depended. Mr. Johnson was given an enthusiastic demonstration of approval when he con- cluded. Mr. Lloyd (Mo.) followed in opposition to the law, which, he argued, was an attempt to establish an aristocratic government by establishing an office-holding class. At 4:50 p.m. the House adjourned. PROPOSED NEW TERRITORY. Consolidation of Indian and Okla- homa. Delegate Callahan of Oklahoma intro- duced a bill yesterday to attach the Indian territory to the territory of Oklahoma and to erect the two territories into one ter- ritory. The bill includes all the lands of the five tribes of Indians and the Quapaw Indian tribes. The capital is to remain at Guthrie; territcrial officers of Oklahoma are to be the officers of the new territory; the land to be attached to Oklahoma is to be divided into six counties, to be named Quapaw, Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole, the present capitals of the nations of those names to be county seats, and Miami to be county seat of the new Quapaw county, and the territory is to be divided into five judicial districts. The criminal and civil jurisdiction and the pro- cedure of the district courts of the ter- ritory thus created are to be the same as now fixed for Oklahoma. The new terri- tory is to be entitled to one delegate in Congress, and the legislature is to consist of a council of twenty-five members, th teen frcm the present Oklahoma and twelve from the present Indian territory, the house to consist of twenty-six from the former and twenty-cne from the latter. The act is not to be construed to affect the tribal relations or rights of any Indfan tribes. The Oklahoma laws are to govern the new territory. ———_-_-o-—___ TO BE INVESTIGATED. The Alleged Improper Diversion of Money of the Senecas. The alleged improper use and diversion of money received by the Seneca Indians is to form the basis of an investigation by the officials of the Interior Department. The money comes to the Indians for leases of lands to white settlers, This money has heretofore been received by the treasurer of the council, but charges of corruption in the council resulted in the fcrmation of a new body, and the dispatch of an agent to Washington in the person of ex-President Andrew John of the Sene- cas. He has interested himself in -the matter for some time with a view of having all lease money paid into the hands of the Indian agent and disbursed by him. In this Way corruption in the council will cease. Recently oil was struck in the reservation in the vicinity of Salamanca and Carrellton and the white settlers were obtaining valu- able franchises, he said, by corrupting the council. The Indian bureau will dispatch Special Agent Pray to investigate the matter. + ___ IN CONGRESSIONAL DIRECTORY. Mr. Bryan’s Name Appears as Minister to China, : The name of Charles Page Bryan ap- pears in the last edition of the official Con- gressional Directory as minister to China. A similar thing occurred when Mr. Cieve- land nominated Mr. Hornblower for the supreme bench. Though never confirmed, Mr. Hornblower appeared in this official list as a supreme justice. It was supposed by some of the members of the Senate that the appearance of the name of Mr. Bryan in the official directory was the result of a clerical error, as in the case of Hornblow- er, but it seems that such is not the case. Mr. Bryan was commissioned minister to China before Congress met, and thus, by virtue of a recess appointment, he is now the minister to China, and will continue to be such, if his name is not withdrawn, un- til he is rejected by the Senate or until the Senate adjourns. There is much uncer- tainty as to his confirmation. The discussion will spread out so as to take in the general Chinese question and will probably lead to an effort to get some expression of opinion from the Senate in antagonism to the partition of China and ve of a policy which the adminis- n should carry out. The question is almost certain to come up anyhow, sooner or later, but a discussion over the nomina- tion of Mr. Bryan will tend to hasten it. = JANE HALL’S ESTATE. The Senate Passes a Bill to Release It to Her Son. The Senate yesterday passed Senate Dill 1081, authorizing the Secretary of the In- terior to quitclaim and release to Francis Hall and Juriah Hall all title of the United States in and to the east 20 feet front by 100 feet deep of lot 2, square 493, of the city of Washington. A similar bill was passed by the Senate in the last Congress. The circumstances which have brought about the request for legislation in this case are peculiar. It appears that Jane Hall was born a slave in Maryland in the year 1799. She ran away from her master and came to Washington about the year 1820. After arriving in Washington she had two children, both born while she was yet aslave. In 1821 she was manumitted. Jane Hall continued to reside in Washington until her death, in 1862, never having been married. In the year 1842 she bought the east 20 feet front by full depth of 100 feet of lot No, 2, in square No. 493, of the city of Washington. Ske built a small house en the said ground and lived there contin. uously until her death, and from the time of her death until the present time the house and grounds have been occupied by her son, Francis Hall. It appears that the said Jane Hall died intestate, and in the absence of collateral relations that the title to the said lot has escheated to the United States, and that in order to secure to Francis Hall his rights and the relinquish- ment on the part of the United States of all right and title to the said lot a quit- claim must be granted by Congress. ———__- e+ —___— MILITARY DESERTIONS, Amendment of the Regulations by Gen. Miles. Major General Miles has amended the regulations relating to military deserters so as to provide that all such shall be brought to trial with the least practicable delay, and that while awaiting trial they shall se- cure no pay. In no case will the money or proceeds of the sale of effects of a deserter be turned over to his relatives, nor any payment made therefrom by an officer on any account whatsoever. All other per- sonal effects of a deserter will be disposed of in the case of unclaimed effects of jeceased soldiers. oSrould a soldier die or desert in the in- terval between signing the pay rolls and the receipt of the money at the post from the paymaster, the check or cash will be immediately returned to the paymaster. ed should a ‘The same course will be pay, or if for impracticable soldier decline to receive any other reason it should be to deliver it to him in person. It matters little what it is that you want —whether a situation or a servant—o “want” ad. in The Star will reach the person who cen fill your need. MR. BLAND IS~ HOPEFUL He Believes the Silver Men Will Control the Next House. Looks for Democratic Gains in Man: Republican Districts—Mo: to Be the Issue, Representative Richard Fr. Bland of Mis- souri takes a hopeful view of the prospects: of the silver men in the congressional cam- paign next fall, at which members of the House will go before their constituents for renomination and re-election. Mr. Biand thinks that the democrats will make gains in every part of the country where the re- publicans were victorious at the last elec- tion, and that the next House will contain a comfortable majority in favor of free silver. “I have no dovbt,” he said today, “that the silver pecple will win a victory in the congressional election now approaching. The issue will be the money question, there can be no doubt about that, and the battle will ve fought along clear and open lines. The republicans will not be able to push the international bimetallic agreement plan before the people, and the issue will be Whether we shall have the gold standard, plain and simple, or whether we shall elect a Congress which shall use its efforts in the direction of securing the adoption by this government of free and unlimited coin- age at 16 to 1, independently of any other country on the globe. I anticipate that the silver men will make substantial gains in every part of the country. Particularly will this be so in the west and northwest and in states in the middle west, which are now represented by delegations solid, or almost solid, republican. Missouri, I ex- pect, will return a representation unan{- mously for silver. “The republicans do not seem to be able to formulate any proposition maintaining the gold standard that they can agree up- on. When it comes to carrying out and fixing the gold standard on the country they seem to be afraid of their platform and are evincing a disposition to fly from it. In the last campaign they seemed to place some confidence in their ability to reach an agreement on international bi- metallism, Lut they have lost all hope of ever effecting such an agreement now, and 1 do not think that they can induce any one to believe that there is any further chance of consummating that idea. The republican followers of the administration, with all due respect to those gentlemen, are evidently trying to hedge on the goid standard question in some way or another, but Secretary Gage is trying to hold them back. He has a gigantic task on his hands. In the next campaign, however, they will be obliged to face the issue. If the gold standard is the right thing, my republican friends ought to issue their gold bonds to retire the greenbacks and wipe out silver. That is practically what the gold standard means and what Secretary Gage means by his proposition. “We wili have a good majority in the next Congress. I predict that one of the first legislative acts of that Congress will be to pass a free coinage bill, which will be sent to the President for his action. he issues in the presidential campaign of 1900 will be along the same lines. The Chicago platform will be readopted in most of its material points, excepting that the money plank will be made even clearer and stronger. We will nominate a good man, who will sweep the country. I cannot see how any one can reason that any other result will follow when we take into con- sideration all the circumstances and par- ticularly the growing sentiment of the people in favor of free silver. I believe that those democrats who left the party last year on account of the pledge of the party for free silver ought to come back into the party and work for the regular nominee, but those who are not prepared to fight on that line ought to stay out. A great majority of those who left us will return, but, of course, there will remain a few of the disgruntled men who will not come back. We can afford, however, to lore-them. After the presidential election we will control the two great branches of the government. We will then enact our free coinage legislation. Until that is done I do not believe that the country can reath a state of genuine rrosperit; a ee LEADERS MAKING READY. Preparing for the Coming Struggle in the House. While the House of Representatives is induiging in the pastime of thundering in the Record about the civil service law, the leaders on both sides of the House are pre- paring for a struggle over important ques- tions which are expected to have a bearing on politics in the future. The democrais are lining up for a Cuban fight, and are trying to strengthen the opposition to the annexation of Hawati, in consideration ot the possibility that the question of annexa- tion may have to be dealt with by both hcuses. They are also prepering for a fight over the currency question, which they think must inevitably come before the House. They anticipate defeat on all these propost- tions, but want to make such political capi- tal as they can. Meanwhile, the republi- cans are trying to lay out a program, and sentiment thus far developed indicates that it will not be a policy of inaction. The sub- committee of the foreign affairs committee having the Cuban resolutions before them are studying the question carefully, and it is expected that they will report some sor: of resolution as a substitute for all those fcre them. It will probably go little an expression of sympathy with th: bans, deploring the condition of the stan and expressing confidence in the dispos' and ability of the administration to deac with the question. As to the Hawaiian question, if the treaty should fail of the recessary two-thirds in the Senate, the committee will be ready to report promptly a measure for annexation by legisiation. Latest developments, how- ever, lead the friends of annexation to be- lieve that the treaty will be ratified, so chat stch legislation will not be necessary. With respect to currency legislation, it is now believed that a measure will be pre- sented which will get sufticient support trom republicans to insure its consideration and adopticn by the House. The Matthews resolution, declaring that the government obligations are payable in gold or silver, at the option of the government, which M Teller introduced yesterday after consulta- tion with other silver men, is expected to be reported to the Senate from the finance committee on Tuesday. The republicans will resist the passage of the resolution by the Senate, and it is uncertain what strength it will have. It cannot be passed without the assistance of-some of the re- publicans from the western states who are called bimetallists. Jt is certain, how r, to leail to a long and earnest debate, whic! will probably have great political signifl- cance. If it is passed, it is probable that the House will adopt as a substitute for it, or as a counter move, the resolution intro- duced by Mr. Jenkins of Wisconsin, de- claring the government obligations to be payable in silver or gold coin, at the option of the holders of such obligations, and that all legal tender money shall be kept at the value of the present gold dollar. This reso- lution is In accordance with a resolution adcpted by*the Wisconsin legislature. A FAMILY OF MUSICIANS. w Father, Mother Ten Som to Join the Marine Band.
