BURT'S, | tll F St, THE HIGHWAY BILL Hearing Before the House District Committee. VIEWS OF OPPONENTS HEARD Brightwood Citizens Propose Many Amendments. SHOULD PAY ONE-HALF pet eee ‘The House District committee gave an- other hearing today on the highway exten- sion bill, Mr. Edward T. Bates, secretary of the Brightwood Citizens’ ‘Association, was first recognized by the chairman Mr. Bates read a carefully prepared writ- ten address to the committee, in which he compared the highway act to a machine, and declared that it would not work. He claimed that the highway extension Dill Gid not provide for a practical and actual extension of streets and avenues in the di- rection corresponding with the present lines of city streets. The only case he cited was that of New Jersey avenue, the extensien of which is to begin at a fence north of Fre:dmen’s Hospital. He said the only purpose of this extension would be to fur- nish a short cut to the Zoo for some con- valescent freedman, or more likely for the | accommodation of a street railroad. Mr. Bates submitted a number of pro- posed amendments to the bill, which, he said, the Brightwood Citizens’ Ascociation would demand should be made to the bill. Mr. Bates explained that the principal amendment is designed to protect the owners of small property hold- ings whose interests are endangered by the highway law as it now stands. Other amendments are designed to eliminate the provisions of the bill for setting aside reservations which are not needed for pub- lie purposes. He said the amendments were prepared by citizens whose property rights were as- sailed. “Is your association in favor of this bitl?” asked Mr. Curtis. “If the bill is amended the association will acquiesce in its passage. We would prefer the repeal of the highway act,” re- plied Mr. Bates. Amendments Proposed. The first amendment proposed by Mr. ates was to insert after the word “ad- visable,” in line 24, page 4, the followin “And they may also, if they deem advis- able, eliminate from the recorded maps of that portion of section one lying nor.n of VICTORY. FOR THE REBELS Pa ae Surprise and Mas- sabre Spanish Troop. War HAs Bfoken Out Afresh on the Island of Luson—Northern Provinces Affected. S VANCBUVRER, B. C., April 7—From the latest papers from Hong Kong it is learned that there has been very exciting times recently in the Philippines, Spanish troops being surpriséd and massacred. The Bolina staff of the eastern extension telegraph were recently besieged for five days on ac- ceunt of Spanish soldiers taking refuge there. From a Spanish gunboat marines were landed and the station was opened after hard fighting between the detach- ment and the rebels. : Two days afterward the British Cruiser Edgar arrived. About the same time Gen- eral Monet and 1,000 men arrived overland. General Monet said he had five engage- ments between Bolina and Lingayen. The irsurgents suffered heavy losses, and the Spanish losses were one lieutenant and one soldier. The garrison and priests of neigh- boring villages had been killed, only six soldiers managing to escape. War is raging in the Island of Luzon, and is rapidly assuming as serious propor- tions as the rebellion of 1856. Attacks were made upon the Spanish quarters at Subigandapalit, the rebels capturing and carrying off large quantities of ammuni- ticn. All the northern provinces are affected. The natives refuse the taxes. Many of the rich natives and half castes are clos- ing their business places and are preparing to leave the islands. The provinces of Zamabales, Tariac and Pengasinan are in open revolt. News has just reached Manila that the telegraph lines connecting the cable with Manila was destroyed by the rebels March 7 near Bolinao. ——— SESSION OF THE M. P. CHURCH. A. D. Melvin Again Elected ident at Yesterday's Meeting. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, April 7._Rev. A. D. Mel- vin was yesterday re-elected president at the afternoon session of the Maryland an- nual conference of the Methodist Protest- ant Church, which commenced its seven- tieth annual session at Lafayette Avenue Church. He now begins the second year of his duties, which are a combination of those of presiding elder and bishop in the Methodist Episcopal Church, as he has both supervisory and appointing powers over the members of conference. Nearly all of the 130 ministerial mem- bers and 127 lay delegates from as many Piney Branch, Spring road and Rock Creek Church road, any or all of the reservations or circles shown thereon. Also after the word “map” in line 3, page 5, to insert the following: “Together with a map or maps showing changes, if any, made in that portion of section 1 lying north of Piney branch, Spring road and Rock Creek Church road by the elimina- tion of any reserv: ations or circles, as here- inbefore provided.” Also to add a new section to the bill, be »wn as section 14, as follows: to “In the event of any tracts or parts of tracts of land iying within tke limits of 16th street northwest, Sth street northwest, or Illinois avenue, as set forth on the map er maps as recorded under said act as hereby amended, being donated for high- purposes the same shall be accepied uch purposes, entered upon and im- proved by opening, regulating, grading and bridging where 1 ary over the en- tire distance donated, or the extending for such streets or avenue, and the remainder, any, of sucn tract or s of land shall xempt from any assessment for bene- or for any part of the cost of opening, ulating, grading and bridging such reets or avenue, and such cost shall be paid from the procceds of the sale of bouds as_hereinvefore provided. “Wherever the amount of land included within the limits of any highways, reser- tations or circles exceeds one-half of the total area of any tract or contiguous tracts of land belonging to the same owner or owners, whether such land lie wholly or in part within or without the limits of any existing subdivision, such land shall be con- cemned aid paid fer in the same manner is provided for land condemned under section 6 of said act. “All land included within the limits of any reservation, as shown upon the map or maps, recorded under the provisions of said act, as hereby amended, whether sueh land le wholly or in part’ within or without the limits of any existing sub- division, shall be condemned and paid for in the same manner as is provided for land condemned under section 6 of said act. ‘In construing the intent of any portion of said act as hereby amended all lands taken for highway or reservation pur- poses by authority of this section shall be considered and treated of throughout all proceedings thercunder in the same manner as is provided for land lying wholly with- in the limits of existing subdivisions.” Mr. Blair Lee's Views. Mr. Blair Lee said that a street which takes an acre for every 225 feet 1s a na- tional street. Therefore, as 40 per cent of a 90-acre farm ts controlled by the muntci- pality, the municipality ought to pay half the cost or let go. He said the amend- ments proposed by Mr. Bates, which pro- vided for opening 16th street, would be a benefit to the people, by giving access to the Rock Creek Park. Probably three miles of the upper part of this territory will be dedicated if the lower section is purchased to carry the street through vo the city line. Mr. Lee said the bill fs not a street ex- tension bill as it stands. He wants to put a little street extension into it, he said. “Our position in brief,” said Mr. Lee, “is to let the bill go through with two amend- ments: First, to have the government pay one-half the cost to the man one-half of whose property is taken. Second, that this great expenditure shall not be confined to the lower part of the suburban territory, charges enswered to their names when the roll was called by the retiring secre- tary, Rev. Hugh L. Elderdice. Mr. Elder- dice declined re-election to the office, which he held for five years, on account of the press of other duties. A close fight then ensued between the friends of Revs. Dor- sey Biake and F. T. Benson, and four bal- lots were necessary to decide the election to the secretaryship in favor of the for- mer. He announced Revs. C. P. Nowlin and J. H. 8. £well as his assistants. Other conference officers were elected as follows: 'Confere: ce steward, Louis Ran- dall; church ¢xtension sieward, Avery Don- avin; st¥erahnuated fui.d stewird, W. H. Litsinger; foreign missionary steward, A. N. Ward; general home missionary stew- ard, A.,8. Beane; educational steward, G. Ww. Hines; postmaster, E. D. Stone. Among, the,figures of growth noted by President Melvin in his report were churches buijt and dedicated on Potomac circuit at Crisfield, Finksburg and Mill- ville. First Church, Washington, was re- corded as having purchased a brick church and parsonage on 4th street. New churches are under way at Norih Carolina avenue, Seafordi,and ; Denton charges. Gifts were acknowledged of $600 from Mrs. T. A, Reese for ministerial support and $28) froth the Pipe Creek Benevolent Society for ministers in active work. Resolutions introduced by Revs. J. T. Murray and F. T. Tagg gvere unanimously adopted and telegraphed President McKin- ley urging a peaceable cettlement of the trouble with Spain and promising the pray- ers of the conference to that end. Last night the annual communion serv- ice was conducted by President Melvin, after which Rev. Dr. S. B. Southerland read a memorial of Rey. R. Scott Norris, @ superannuated preacher who died in Baltimore, and the only member of con- ference who died during the year. ‘This morning rcutine business was taken up, including the calling upcn ministers for reports of the work in their charges during the year. According to an order adopted yesterday, but one business ses- sion will be held daily from 9 to 2 o'clock. This will give opportunity for committee work in tue afterncons, which have here- tofore been taken up by business sessions. — OPPOSITION OF THE JUNTA. It Will Not Affect the Action of the House Regarding Cuba. The statement of Mr. Rubens of New York, counsel for the Cuban junta, that Cuba would oppose intervention. by this country if recognition were not given, ex- cited considerable interest among the mem- bers of the House yesterday. Mr. Henry of Indiana, a member of the foreign affairs committee, sald he cared nothing about the views of the junta. He favored the inde- pendence of the people of the island from Spanish dominion, but he did not belleve it wise to recognize a government which he had no knowledge existed except on paper. Mr. Berry (Ky.), a member of the foreign affairs committee, declined to credit the statement, but added: “If it is true there are probably some bonds or some interests the junta seeks to protect. But we will know the truth. At my suggestion, Mr. Adams, acting chairman of the committee, has decided to call Mr. Quesada, the repre- sentative of the junta in this city, before the committee tomorrow.”’ but that every man who wants it may get the benefit of it.” Pay One Half or Let Go. Ex-Senator Henderson of Missouri ad- dressed the committee. He said he re- gretted the necessity for coming before the ccmmittee. He suggested that Congress ought some day to pass a law to allow the Ccmmissioners of the District to come upon the floor of the House and explain the needs of the District. Mr. Henderson said that the highway extension: cannot be made upcn the present plan. The citizens cannot pay more than one-half of the cost. “Then,” asked Mr. Babcock, “if the gov- ernment will not and the citizens cannot pay the cost, what is your solution of the trouble?” “Either let the government pay one-half or let go. If you are determined not to abide by the contract of 1878 do not im- pose upon the suburbs L’Enfant’s plan for the city. “You say you want to put through these streets and realize the dream of L’Enfant, Washington and Madison. Very well, but if you do it, put up your half. You must either fish or cut bait. If you don’t put up your half, let go." Mr. Henderson branched off into general discussion of municipal affairs in Wash- ington. “Would you favor suffrage?” asked Mr. Babcock. bi “No; continue to give us good Commis- sioners and let them have a word on the flocrs of Con: With this the hearing concluded. The House District committee resumed its session this afternoon and proceeded to consider the highway extension bill. After spending some time in executive session the committee adjourned -without reaching a conclusion. The bill will be taken up at an- other session. ‘The committee has decided to favorably paced Bowe bill 8972, to amend the incor- pereuet the Protestant Episcopal urch, —————_e+__ Damage at Mare Island.

Alden Smith of Michigan a'so a member of the foreign affairs committee, said: ‘I shall be disappointed if the action of our government does not contemplate the recognition of the Cuban insurgents and the government established by Maceo, Garcia and Gomez, which now exercises jurisdiction over a considerable portion of the island and has for its president an hon- orable and patriotic Cuban, Mr. Masso. They have earned this recognition frem us and it should not be grudgingly given f extended at all. Those who have opposed Cuba from the first are now endeavoring to dictate the policy to be pursued by the United States, and I hope they will fail. The wrong remedy would be worse an nothing, and I shall not be a party to any action which; does enot contemplate abso- lute indgpengence from Spanish rule.” * Mr. Quigg 4N.

United States Consul General DuBois at St. Gall, Switzerland, has made an interest- ing report to the State Depariment in re- gard to the labor conditions in Europe, tak- ing as his text the following mark so frequently made in tariff discus- sions in the United States: “The European laborer gets small wages, but the cost of living there !s proportionately small.” He makes several comparisons of jabor cond: tions in the United States and Europe to show that the statement would have been more in accordance with the facts if it were changed to this form: “The European borer gets small wages, but the manner which he lives makes living cheaper the than in the United States.” A picture is drawn of the condition of two skilled) workmen, one in the new world and the other in the old, but both employed in the same department of human labor. “Any thoughtful American skilied laborer,” says Mr. DuBois, “who views it with intel- Nigence and a genuine desire to know the truth must feel profoundly grateful thai fis lot and that of his children has been cast on the soil of the great republic and under the protection of its flag and institu- tions.”” The statement to the effect that European | laborers get small wages, but that the cost of living there is proportionately smail, leads the careless observer to believe that the cost of living is cheaper in Europe than in America. The opposite is the truth, says the consul. ‘he difference in the cost of living is accounted for by the dif- ference in the manner of living. ‘The consul general says in part: “Every intelligent person realizes that the people of that country where the cost ot living is cheapest and the earnings highest are the happiest and will be the most prosperous people on earth. In the United States prices for the necessaries of life are lower and the wages of all who labor are higher than in any other country. No one can successfully challenge this assertion. 1 speak of as necessaries those things that enter into the making of a comfortable home, as we understand such a home in the United States; such as ample and whole- some food, furniture, fuel, lights, clothing and cheap transportation by "railroad, steamboat or tram car. To the Ameridan workmen all these things are cheaper than they are to their brother breadwinners in Wurope, and, to double this great ad- vantage, their wages are sometimes more than twice as high. But these are not the only advantages American labor has over conditions in the old world. “Whenever it is stated in the United States that the wages in Europe are small, but the cost of living is proportionateiy small, it should not be forgotten that,while the cost of living among the workmen of Europe is proportionately smaller than among the toilers in the United States, the manner of living is also immeasurably poorer, not only in housing, clothing and food, but in all conditions; and also the wages are only half the amount paid in cur country.” —____e-___.
