A number of com- plaints have also been made resp3cting the dirty and seemingly broken-down public ve- hicles which are permitted to stand about the railroad stations and wharves, as well as on many of the public hack stands, One of the complainants was Senator McMillan, chairman of th2 Senate District committee, who, in a letter to Commissioner Wight, stated that it is almest impossible to get either at the Capitol or at one of tho rail- road stations, a decent vehicle. He inquir- ed if it is not in the power of the District Commission2rs to make such reguiations as will provide suitable carriages for the ac- commodation of the public here. Commissioner Wight, who has immediate charge of such matters, and wno has been ecrsidering the subject for some time, has found that ther? is sufficlent law under which to protect the public, and at the same time do away with unclean and broken- down vehicles. He discevered, among other things, the following law, section 20 of the act of the legislative assembly of August 23, 1871: Je (the inspector of hacks) shall have further power to condemn any vehicle for public hire which is unclean, very badly worn or in an unsafe condition. An app2al frem his decision may be made to the s erintendent of police, whose decision, which sball be in writing, shall be final.”* Still in Force. Mr. Wight has consulted the judges of the Police Court and Prosecuting Attor- ney Pugh as to whether this law is still in force, and they have informed him that, in their opinion, it is. Therefore Mr. Wight has directed the superintendent of police to take such action as may be necessary to enforce not only this law, but also the law governing the conduct of hackmen, ex- pressmen and hotel porters and runners, whose importuning of the traveling public at the railroad stations and wharves has, according to the complaints received, be- Signed BREWCAS BROS. . .

Boston. - Boston, CO., Boston. One Million Dollar Clothing Sale! In consequence of the war with Spain eastern wholesalers are hourly in receipt of countermanded orders and notices of jgoods returned. This will mean an incredible loss. To save this as far as possible the undersigned Boston firms have com- ‘bined and had all returned stocks and countermanded goods shipped to Washington (instead of Boston) to the big 8-story In- ter-Ocean Building, which has been rented entire. The combined amount of clothing will aggregate nearly one million dol- ‘lars, which will be placed on sale on Saturday, April 30, at a sacrifice without parallel in the clothing trade. It is re that Washington will be an important center during the war; therefore, the immense stock can be rapidly disposed of here. ‘The clothing handled by these firms is only of the higher and highest grades in Men’s, Boys’ and Children’s, Saturday, April 30. cognized Inter-Ocean Bldg. boston Merchants’ Trading Co, Inter-Ocean Building, 512 Ninth St., bet.

The measure provides for the issuance of postal savings notes of $50 and $100, payable to bearer and bearing 8 per cent interest. A subcommittee was appointed for the consideration of the de- tails of the bill. It was noticeable that all the members of the post office committee present, including. republicans as well as members of other parties, expressed a de- sire to avoid a bond issue if possible. The postal savings bill was also under consideration, and the opinion was ex- pressed that the committee would be able to report upon this.measure after one more meeting. | to i mat. | mony and | | cer Dis Railre shoo wit Col taken under cons « cat tior re for Fund returnah!
