A bill that wili doubtless arouse much interest in the District and attract sub- stantial influence in behalf of its passage was introduced in the Hcuse yesterday by Representative Shannon. It provides for the readjustment of the boundary of the National Zoological Park ard preserves its seclusion between Park road on the east and Cincinnati street and Connecticut ave- nue on the west. The bill creates a commission to consist of the Secretary of the Smithsonian Insti- tution, the chairman of the board of Com- missioners of the District of Columbia and the Engineer Commissioner of said board, ard empowers it to acquire by purchase or condemnation, in the same manner as was adopted for the aequirement of the prop- erty already embraced in the pari, such parcels of ground adjoining the park and between its present bouydary and the streets above named as they shall deem necessary for preservirg its safety and perpetuating its seclusion, and also such Pertion of Park as is not yet dedi- cated to public use; these properties, along with Joliet street, already purchased, to be made a part cf the park. The sum of §25,- 000 is appropriated for the purpose. to be paid half out of the District and half out of the government funds. —.—— Poiicemen Tyser and McNamara about 1 o'clock this morning summoned No. § en- gine company to the rear of 306 Pennsyl- Vania avenue southeast, where they dis- covered a quantity of waste paper burning. ‘The flames spread to the adjoining shed be- fore the firemen reached the scene.

Burglars Take Only the Best of What They Find—Loss About The post office at Falls Church, Va., and the jewelry store of V. V. Terrett, located in an adjoining room of the same building, were burglarized about 2:30. o'clock this morning. The aggregate loss, which falls elmost altogether upon Mr. Terreit, is about $250. The pestmaster had taken the precaution to remove his cash and stamps from the office the previous evening, and therefore suffered but slight los Entrance to commenced, and the jewelry safe was kiewn open when the lightning was play- ing mest fiercel: of the explosive from being heard.

The Ccmmissicners last Saturday recom- mended to Congress that no action be taken on the bill granting the desired au- thority at this time, and those interested finencially in the cutomatic telephone to- day requested the Commissioners to either recall that unfavorab!e recommendatioa or give them an opportunity to be further Leard in the matter. ° Mr. H. D. Walbridge. explained to the thefr adverse report of the bili came to those interesied in the proposed exchange as a matter of great surprise, they having been under the im- pression that their project would receive the approval of the board. He stated that the new company has already secured 8) natures to: five-year contracts from people here, five-cighths of them being subscribers of the existing company, the Chesapeake and Potomac. 5 Commissioner Ross said the Commission- ers had not intended ‘that their report to Congress should be*taken as an ad one, they merely deeming it inexpedient to recommend action on the bill at the pres- ent time, when the matter of rates and service is being ccnsidered by Congress. Asks for Recall of Report. Mr. Walbridge then asked that the report be recalled, explaining that the proposed company would be perfectly willing to ac- eede to any demands which might appear proper as to taxes, license fees, penalties, &c. He introduced Mr. Joshua Horner, a well-known Baltimore capitalist, who is interested in the new telephone, and Mr. Horner repeated what Mr. Walbridge had said as to the entire willingness of the ccmpany to abide by such restrictions and regulations as the Commissioners might see proper to recommend to Congress. He called attention to the number of sub- the building was effected | scribers already secured by the new com- about the time the storm cf this morning | Pary, remarking that the number will shertly be increased to 5,000, every man of them representing the best of the District's financial, professional and business con- which prevented the noise | nections.

These crimes in Virginia ecmmenced many miles from here, and re- ports indicated that they were gradually making their way toward this city. At three of the places the burglars attacked post offices. At the Ashland post office their coming was anticipated, and only a few stamps were found in the safe. Now that. the safe blowers have operated so near the city the police think it would be well for merchants and others to take safes protected. - Today the members of Irspector Mattingly’s corps were at work in the matter, looking for the safe blow- ers, and the inspectors of the Post Office line. —_ NO CHANGES IN VIEW. The Police Judges Have No Positions to Bestow. Applications are received almost daily at the offices of the Police Court for appoint- ment to the various positions supposed to be within the gift of the judges, long distance from “Washington. While neither Judge Kimball nor Judge Scott is willirg to talk for publication on there is ro probability of a change in the Pclice Court staff during the next six years. Special efforts to secure the places of two democrats have been made by most of the applicants; but there haz been a generally expressed desire on the part of the com- munity that each shall be continued in his present place. — Suspected of Robbery. A piece of jewelry stolen from the house of Lieutenant Commander Wainwright of the U. 8. S. Maine last Friday night has been recovered, and Stephen Hall, a colored waiter, is locked up on suspicion of being the robber. He was arrested today by Po- lceman Adams of the first precinct and turned over to Detectives Helan, McNamee and Parham, who have the robbery under investigation. He was apprehended thig morning when he called at Selinger’s pawn- shop and wanted to pawn a pearl breast- pin. When questioned by the detectives he claimed he found the pin on the street.

Mr. Sperry (Conn.) offered an amendment to increase the allowance for cierk hire from $11,000,000 to $11,300,000. The latter was the estimate of the Post Office Depart- ment for this item. Several embers advocated the amend- ment, testifying to the fact that postmas- ters in their districts were inadequately provided for in the matter of clerk hire. The vete on the amendment was a tie, 85-85, and Mr. Hull (owa), who was in the chair, defeated it by casting his vote in the negative. Another amendment to increase the clerk hire allowance $200.000 was immediately of- fered, and in the course of the debate mem- bers representing rural districts scemed in- clined to array themselves against those from the great cities on the ground that {the appropriation for clerk hire was ab- sorbed by the big offices. 3 Mr. Hepburn (Lowa) gave notice that he should offer an amendment to allow the Postmaster General, in discretion, to use half a million of the appropriation in third and fourth-class offices. The amendment was strongly antago- nized by the appropriations committee. It was defeated—is to 60. Mr. Hepburn then offered the amendment, of which he had given notice. SENATE. After several weeks of severe illness, Mr. Walthall (Miss.) was able to attend the session of the Senate today. A bill authorizing the Nebraska, Kansas and Gulf Rail Company to construct a railway through the Indian territory was passed. On motion of Mr. Aldrich (R. I.), it was decided that when the Senate adjourn it be until Monday next. The conference report on the agricul- tural apprepriation bill, presented by Mr. Cullom (HL), adopted. The Senate then proceeded to consider bills on the general calendar. When the first bill was called up Mr. Butler (N. C.) offered as a part of some remarks he desired to make a printed let- ter, purporting ta have been sent to com- mercial travelers throughout the country, urging them to use their influence against the Nelson bankruptcy bill, and in favor of the Torrey bankruptcy measure. The question is now pending in confer- ence between the two branches of Congress. Mr. Butler denounced the pill passed by the House as a fraud upon honest men and declared that the circular letter which had been read established the fact that the powerful lobby working here in favor of the Torrey bill was willing to resort to any- thing to gain its point. Mr. Hoar (Mass.) inquired where the cir- cular letter came from.s ? Mr. Butler replied that it, had been sent to him by a commercial traveler of his acquaintance whose name he could not dis- close, lest the man shoti!d lo#e his position. Among the bills passed were the follow- ing: To pay to Stewart College (now the Southwestern University),located at Clarks- ville, Tenn., $25,019 fom damages done by Union troops during the war. To amend sections of the,Revised Siat- utes relating to the hydrographic office in the Navy Department; to provide for or- ganizing a naval battalion in the District of Columbia; to authorize the erection of a statue of the late President Lincoln at Gettysburg, Pa., to cost $50,000, the statue to be erected by a commissidn composed of the Secretary of War, the commander of the army, the governgr of Pennsylvania and the commander of the G. A. R.; to prohibit railroad companies from charging more than 3 cents per mile for carrying passengers through the~Indian territory; to authorize the completion of the Wash- ington aqueduct tunnel; to authorize the construction of a gunboat on the great lakes to take the place of the U. 8. S. Michigan and to cost, exclusive of arma- ment, not to exceed $220,000. To pay to the heirs and legal representa- lives of those who were killed by the ex- plosion of the gun factory at the United States torpedo station on Goat Island, near Newport, R. I, on July 3, 103, the sum of $15,000. At 2 o'clock the consideration of the na- tionai quarantine bill was resumed, the pending question being upon the committee amendment offered by Mr. Vest (Mo.), in charge of the measure. ————————-o-_____ Criticism of a Police Officer. The report of the trial officer in the case of Policeman A. J. Kimmel was today in- dorsed by Commissioner Wight, who has charge of the police department. Kimmel was tried recently for gross neglect in be- ing off duty for several minutes in a bak- ery. The verdict of the trial officer was not guilty, and Mr. Wight indorsed the finding as follows: “While the finding of the trial officer is not guilty, and the evidence appears to show that there was some justification for the man’s absence from duty, his talk at the trial and ‘this treatment of his superior Officer are not to his credit, his long and offensive record being less to his credit. It seems marvelous that a man with such a record could have been retained on the force so long.” — To Be Fined for Perjury. Charles F. McLavghlin, a former saloan- keeper, was arrest2d today by Deteclives Helan and McNamee on a warrant charg-- ing him with perjury. The warrant was gworn ont by Jcseph Ells, who lives at 419 Franklin street, Baltimore, and charges that the alleged perjury wes committed in the civil case of Martin & McAndrews against McLaugkiin. McLaughlin, it is alleged, made a false affidavit in the case. a Hearing in the Pojice Court tomorrow.

Every effort is being expended by the of- ficials of the district attorney's offic? in the direction of the preparation of the case against Daniel J. Canty, who was hel¢ criminally responsible yesterday by a coro- ner’s jury for the death of George M. Ry>. The matter will be called to the attention of the grand jury Monday next, or as soon thereafter as is possible. The grand jury adjourned yesterday until Monday, so that, even though the district attorney might have the case in readiness prior to that time, it would be impossible to secure action by the jury without specially as- sembling that body. } ‘The indications are that, in the event the facts are found to warrant such action, an indictment will be reported against Canty before the close of next w2ek. He will be arraigned and his trial begun without Icss of time. Nothing was known this after- reon at the district attorney's office or other portions of the city hall building of any intention on the part of Canty’s counsel to make application for the re!zase of the defendant on bail, pending action by the grand jury. Any such action, it is believed, would, in view of the verdict of the ccroner’s jury and the circumstances of the case, be strongly opposed by Dis- trict Attorney Davis. Assistant District Attorney Shillington and Mr. Harv2y Given this afternoon visit- ed the scene of the shooting, in order to thoroughly familiarize themselves with the details of the affair. Several photographs of the locality were also tak order that the grand jury an may be enlightened to the fullest degree in the future consideration of th> case. In view of the preparations necessary in the case growing out of the shooting of Rye, it has been found inconvenient to call for trial Monday next, as was intend- ed, the case of Frank Herbert Miles. Miles is under indictment for embezzlement in connection with .he issuance of tax certifi- cates while he was in the employ of the District of Columbia. The trial will be postponed until early next month. In its stead, however, Benjamin Slater and Isaac Kenner, indicted for manslaughter in con- nection with the recent death of Slater's wife, will be placed on trial, the hearing taking place before Judge Bradley in Crim- inal Court No. 2. Assistant District Attor- ney Shillington will prosecute the case. ——— To Quiet Land Titles. Chief Justice Alvey of the court of ap- peals has written to Mr. McMillan, chair- man of the Senate committee on the Dis- trict of Columbia, saying the justices of the court of appeals have, according to re- quest, examined the provisions of the Hotse bill 6359, entitled, “An act to quiet land titles in the District of Columbia,” now ‘before the Senate committee on the ‘District of Columbia, and they all think the object of the bill a very proper one for remedial legislation. - “The provisions of the bill,” Judge Alvey gays, “would seem to be such as are proper for the purpose intended with, perhaps, one exception, and that is as to the proviso, that is how far back will the saving of rights by reason of disability relate to pre- vent the attaching of rights by adverse possession. This may not be a real diffi- culty, or it may be one that can be re- mcved by reasonable construction.” ————_-o+_____ Relating to a Subdivision. Dr. A. B. Jameson and Mr. A.

They have dcnated four and one-half acres of it to the District, and have applied to the Com- missioners for a survey of the remaining land, in order to be able to partition’ it between them.
