The negotiations between the Sultan of Turkey and the King of Greece have been brought to a conclusion by the signing of a treaty of peace, under which the territorial relations between the two powers are prac- tically unchanged. “The question of the autonomous govern- ment of the Island of Crete has occupied the attention of the powers.

But the fall has been artificially stimulated by the system of bounties to rroducers and manufacturers of beet root sugar maintained in many European states. There are signs of growing opinion in those states that this system is injurious to the general interests of their population, and communications are now in progress be- tween my government and the government principally concerned, with a view to a conference on the subject, which, I trust. may result in the abolition of the bounties. “In the meantime measures will be pro- posed to you for the relief of the imme- diate necessities of the West Indian colon- uraging other industries, and ; engaged in sugar culti- ide over the present crisis, The Outbreak in India. “On the northwestern borders of my In- dian empire an organized outbreak of fanaticism, which spread in the summer along the frontier, induced many of the hereof on presentation of the said bonds + its office, comer 9th and F. sts.

Address to the Commons. “Gentlemen of the House of Commons: The estimates which will be laid before you have been framed with the utmost desire for economy; but, in view of the enormous armaments now maintained by other na- tions, the duty of providing for the defense of the empire involves expenditure beyond former precedent ”” Dealing with the proposed legislation, the speech from the throne says that measures will be introduced for the organization of a system of local government in Ireland, subd- stantially similar to Great Britain's, to se- cure the increased strength and efficiency of the army, amend the present conditions of military service, to enable accused peo- ple to testify in thelr own defense, to fa- cilitate the creation of municipalities in London and to prevent recognized abuses iz connection with church patronage. There are nine other measures of minor importance. The queen's speech con¢ludes: “TI heartily commend your momentous de- liberations to the care and guidance of Al- mighty God.” Reefeaters in Evidence. Previous to the reassembling of parli:- ment, the usual party of beefeaters, ac- cempanied by a number of officials, and headed by Chief Inspector of Police Hors- ley, made the customary search for imita- tors of Guy Fawkes, formally ascertaining that the vaults of the houses of parliament did not contain anything inimical to the it is still such as to cause effort will be spared to miti- safety of the members. The first member to enter the house of cemmons was” Robert Ascroft, con- servative member for Oldham, who ar- rived at 5:30 a.m. The second member to reach the house was Thomas Lough, lib- eral, representing the west division of I ington, who entered at 0 a.m. Others scon followed, their early arrival being due to the fact that there is not room enough im the house to afford them each a seat, and the rule being “first come first served,” and places being reserved by placing a hat, with the owner's card, upon the chosen seat. Irish Parliamentary Party. The Irish parliamentary party met in committee room No. 15. Timothy M. Healy and his supporters, who abstained from at- tending the party meeting previous to the last session of parliament, were present. John Dillon was re-elected chairman and the whips and secretaries were also re- elected. ES CONDENSED LOCALS. The police were requested last night to find William H. Fields, a young colored man, whose home is in Culpeper, Va. His sister, Mrs. L. H. Parker, lives in this city at No. 1605 L street northwest. For the past two years William has wanted to visit her, and Sunday afternoon he left home, presumably to come here. His mother be- came uneasy about him and telegraphed to Mrs. Parker. So far as the police know William has not yet arrived here. Brice Stewart, 1119 21st street northwest, has complained to the police of the theft of a coat. His missing garment, he re- ports, was stolen from 419 12th street night. He gave the police a description of the man whom he suspects. James Hughes, who has been janitor of the Police Court for many years, got off a Metropolitan electric car last night be tween 12 and 1 o'clock at 5th and D streets and was accidentally thrown to the concrete and rolled over the dusty pavement in a lively fashion.

XIIl: “THIS CROWN GETS LOOSER AND LOOSER.” tf A SUBSTITUTE BILL Commissioners Submit “Measure for Removal of Overhead Wires. ——— eee ELECTRIC LIGHTING AND:POWER ONLY Similar Action Respecting Tele- graph and Telephone. CAPTAIN BURR’S REPORT -——_—_>—_—_. In response to the reference to them of House bill 6455, to authorize the United States Electric Lighting Company and the Potomac Electric Power Company to ex- tend their conduits in the city, the Dis- trict Commissioners have submited to Con- gress the draft of a bill which they recom- mend shall be substituted therefor, requir- ing all overhead electric light and power wires, excepting house connections from alley poles, now in existence in or over any street, avenue, road, alley, highway, park or reservation within the fire limits of the District of Columbia shall be re- moved within one year from the passage of the act. The bill submitted by the Commissioners, they explain, relates only to overhead trol- ley wires and underground conduits for electric lighting and power purposes, but a similar bill, they state, will be submitted by them at an early date, which will relate to telegraph and telephone wires and con- duits. Assistant's Report. Accompanying the bill transmitted by the Commissioners was the following re- port by Captain Burr, one of the assist- ants to the Engineer Commissioner: “I have the honor to make the following report upon the accompanying bills—Senate 5 and H. R. 6455—relating to the subject of electric lighting wires and conduits in the District of Columbia, and to recom. mend that the accompanying draft of a hill, entitled ‘An act for the removal of overhead electric lighting wires in the District of Cqlumbia and for other pur- poses,’ be recommended to Congress for age as a substitute for the two bills just referred to. “The proposed substitute for the two bills mentioned is intended to cover as fully as possible the subject of the re- moval of existing overhead electric light- irg wires within the fire mits of the Dis trict of Columbia, and to the utilization of the present system of underground con- duits to the fullest extent practicable. It also provides for the maintenance and extension without the fire limits of the Dis- trict of Columbia of exisiing overhead electric lighting wires. For this purpose the owners of overhead electric lighting wires within the fire limits of the District of Columbia are “required to place them underground within one year from the date of the approval of this act, and the Com- missisners are given power to Temove these wires at the expense of their owners in case the latter fail to do so. : ‘Authority 1s given for the construction of conduits necessary to receive these over- head wires, and such additional’ wires as may be reasonably expected to be needed in the near future. Provisten isslso made for the utilization of conduits to their full- est extent by the issuance of permits for house connections and for»alley conduits for overhead distribution in the interior of squares adjacent to conduits. It is believed that some provision ‘should be made for the extension of existing con- dults, but the section providing, for such extensions is left blank in order that it tay be filled in by Congress as it may deem wise and proper. Object of the Substitute. “It hardly ms necessary to enter largely into the reasons for, the passage of the proposed substitute. Its main object is to place underground existing: oyerhead electric light wires and to permit the peo- ple of the District to obtain full benefit of conduits which are now or may be here- after placed underground. Although un- derground conduits for distributing electric light and power have been in use in this * weeeeee THE OFFICIAL WEATHER MAP.

Even if Congress deems it inadvisable to authorize any extension of conduits under the present system of cor- porate ownership, there can be no doubt as to the wisdom and desirability of taking such action as may be necessary to re- move these ovcrhead wires pending the set- tlement of the question of a gereral con- duit system for the city. All legislat heretofore enacted upon this subject has been contained in the various acts making appropriations for the expenses of the Dis- trict of Columbia, and has been more or | 1 fragmentary, incomplete and uncer- tain as to meaning. The enactment of carefully considered legisiation is catreme- ly desirable. Provisions of the Bill. The substitute bili submitted Commissioners is as follo “For the removal of overhead electric lighting wires in the District of Columbia, and for other purposes. “Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress embled, that all overhead electric light and power wire: by the excepting house connections from alley poles, now in existence in or over any street, avenue, road, alley, highway, park or reservation within the fire limits of the District of Columbia shall be removed by their respective owners within one year from the date of the passage of this act, and that hereafter when the said fire limits are extended by competent authority to in- clude any additional territory all of the provisions of this act shall be construed as applying to such additional territory as of date of the day upon which such extension was made; provided, however, that, in the discretion of the Commissioners of the Dis- trict of Columbia, alley poles and overhead wires may be erected and employed for block distribution of electric light and power by overhead house connections, but no such overhead house connection shall be extended across any public space other than alleys, and all connections between the said alley poles and the main conduits, or between any two alley poles, shall be made underground, provided, further, that the Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia are hereby authorized to cause to be made such relocation and readjustment of alley poles and head house scrvices therefrom now in existence as they may deem wise and proper for the interest and safety of the public. “Sec. 3 That the Commissioners of the District of Columbia are hereby authorized to issue permits for the construction of such conduits as may be necessary to ac- complish the requirements of section 1 of this act, and to accommodate the said overhead wir2s or their equivalents, and such additional number of wires as the Commisstoners may judge to be necessary for the future: Provided, That the said conduits shall be constructed as nearly as practicable under th> overhead wires that are to be placed in them, and shall be lim- lied as to length to that necessary for the placing underground of such overhead wires, except as may be h2reafter specifi- cally provided in this act. Permits for House Connections. ec. 3. That the Commissfoners of the District of Columbia are hereby authorized to issue periaits for house connection with conduits adjacent to the pr2mises with which connections are to be made, for pub- jie lighting connections with conduits in the portion of the street proposed to be lighted, and for connections from conduits to public parks and reservations adjacent thereto. Said Commissioners are also h2re- by authorized to issue permits to the said companies to lay service conduits to and into alleys of all squares adjacent to any conduit of such companies: Provided, how- ever, That the square into’ which service conduit is to b2 laid shall have a public or private alley opening upon that portion of the street in which a conduit exists. Said Commiesioners are also hereby authorized to issue permits for the repair of existing ciectric light conduits and for their enlarge- ment by increasing the number of ducts; but when the number of ducts in any con- duit is increased the new construction shall be so laid as to form one conduit with the existing ducts, so far as the same shall b> precticable. “Sec. 4. That all conduits constructed, re- paired or enlarged under the provisions of this act shall be subject to such regula- tions as the Commissioners*of the District of Columbia may prescrib3 as to inspection, location, length, number of ducts and method and character of construction: Pro- vided, however, that in all said conduits ene or two ducts, as may be required by the Commissioners of the District of Co- ivmbia, shall be set aside for the sol2 use of the District of Columbia for the conyey- ance of District. telephone, telegraph and fire alarm wires, and for the use of these r=served ducts no charge shall be made by the owner or others of the conduits, nor shall any compensation be paid by the District of Columbia. Power to Remove. “See. 5. That should any of the overhead wires which are required to be removed by the provisions of this act remiain in exist- ence in or over any street, avenue, road, alley, highway, park or reservation within the fire limits of the District of Columbia after the dates hereinbefore provided for their removal, it shall. be the duty of the Ccmmissioners of the District of Columbia to cause the said wires and the poles car- rying the same to be removed within the period not exceeding ninety days from the expiration of the time aerein provided for their removal by their owners. The said Commissioners shall charge the expense of said removal to the company or companies owning such wires and poles, and if within thirty days after notice to such company or companies of the cost and expense of such removal the company or companies owning such wires or poles shall neglect lumbia of such cost and expense, then it shall be lawful for the said Commissioners in the name of the District of Columbia to sue for and recover said cost and expenses in any court of competent jurisdiction. “Sec. 6. That the Commissioners of the District of Columbia are hereby authorized to issue permits for the construction of conduits for electric Jight and power pur- as follo 7. That all overhead electric light- ing wires now existing outside of the fire limits of the District of Columbia and within the hmits of the said District are hereby legalized." The Commissioners of the District of Columbia are authorized to issue permits for the extension of these legalized overhead w for house connections therewith, subject to such reg- ulations location and character of rr Tribe Pro- uch extensions time within the £ Columbia: and That except as author- d in this act it shall be unlawful to con- ruct conduits or to erect overhead wires for electric lighting purposes in or over fire limits of the District provided, furthe: ii street, avenue, alley, highway, park or reservation within the’ District of Co- lumb “Sec. 8. That all laws and parts of laws inconsistent with the provisions of this act are hereby repealed.” —-> SAMUEL GEN. T. CUSHING, He Has Had a Long Experience in the Subsistence Department.
