The report says: “The committee have had the benefit of full explanations from the Commissioners of the District; they have given numerous hearings to all persons who have desired to be heard; and they have carefully con- cidered all the information which they have been able to obtain concerning the very im- portant subject to which the bills referred to relate. “Upon one pruposition there appears to be absolute unanimity of opinion, and that is that the existing law is impossible of execution, and that it would cause great and irreparable injury and injustice to the residents of the District to continue it in force in its present form. “Notwithstanding the fact that the act has been on the statute book for more than five years, maps of only two sections, cov- ering not one-half of the area of the Dis- trict outside the city, have been completed and recorded. Z “The committee incorporates as a part of its report the report of the special counsel of the Commissioners (Senate Doc. No. 180, Fifty-fifth Congress, second session), show- ing that of the forty-eight condemnation cases relating to subdivisions in section 1, embracing the territory between Rock creek and North Capitol street, begun in the District court, not one has been brought to a conclusion. Stx cases have been tried, but in neither one of these has there been a final verdict, and in four instances the jury found it impracticable for them to ren- der a complete verdict In accordance with the requirements of the act. “No rights of Way have, therefore, been acquired, no streets or avenues have been paved and improved as expected, and in the report referred to it is said that active operations in the courts under the act have been suspended since the early part of last February to await the action of Congress. Great Expense Involved. “The verdicts of the juries in the cases referred to, although they did not become effective plainly indicated the enormous expenditure that the ¢xecution of the act would require. “The area of the subdivisions to which the six acres above mentioned related was small and insignificant in comparison with the eatire area of section 1, yet the jury found that the value of the land proposed to be coademned and included within the avenucs proposed to be opened se six suldivisions amounted to ef oot feotontent & $ Leet eeonttnteeedeetetee a a a a a a a aC SPECIAL SALE O W AJLIL PAI IIR For Your 000. (P. 5 of Doc. 180.) “When it is remembered that the entire ‘a of the District outside the city limits, and not including parks and erva~ trons, is over 25,000 acres, and tuat of this ‘more than one-third,’ or over 8,000 acres, is included within the boundaries of the streets and avenues which appear on the raaps and plans which have been or are being completed under the require- } | ments of the act, the magnitude of the out- lay that would be required and the burdens that would be imposed by the enforcement of the law becomes apparent. “it was the intention of Congress, plain- iy expressed in the fifteenth section of the act, that the entire cost of obtaining the rght of way for and opening and improv- ing the highways that were to be estab- lished under the act was to be paid, one- ralf out of the revenues of the District and cre-half by the owners of benefited lands.

The committee are convinced tat this condition of uncertainty should no inger be permitted to exist. “The inconveniences that have resulted and that may still result from the irregu- larities and want of conformity to any gen- eral plan in the subdivisions heretofere made outside the city limits may be and doubtless are great, but they are not suffi- ciently serious to justify at present the enormous cost that would resuit from the taking of lands and the destruction of buildings that would be required in order to make such subdivisions conform in part to the plans of the city. It is admittedly impossible that, even if it were desirable, existing outside subdivisions can be made to conform with accuracy or even approx- imate acct.racy to the old plan of the city. Repeal Favored. he committee heve, therefore, conclud- ed that the wisest course that can be adopted at present, and one that will at the present time best subserve the interests of the municipality and the laud owners and of the United States, is to repeal the act of March 2, 1893, to annul all the pro- ceedings thereunder, to allow the sub- aivisions heretofore made to remain for the present as they now are, and in respect of all _unsubdivided lands’ outside the city limits and outside the limits of existing subdivisions to prohibit the making and re- cording of any new subdivisions or the lay- ing out or improving of any new streets, unless they shall be in conformity with the plan of the city. “In this way any increase of the evils caused by new and irregular subdivisions of unsubdivided and agricultural lands will be effectually prevented, and time and op- portunity will be afforded to determine what it is necessary and possible to do in respect of the appiication of the plan of the city to existing subdivisions.” ——____-e+_ COUNTERFEITER ESCAPES. oT He Had Promised to Go to War if Pardoned. CHICAGO, May 7.—I’rank Holston, a prisoner convicted of counterfeiting, made a plea to Judge Grosscup for his freedom, saying that if he was allowed to go he would enlist in the army and fight for Cu- ba. The judge sentenced him to four years in the penitentiary. Holston was hand- cuffed to Deputy Sheriff Robinson, and the officer started to walk through the streets to the jail. On the way Holston managed to release himself from the handcuff around | his wrist and made his escape. The officer walked a block before he noticed that his man was not with him, and would not have known it then unless he had been told ef it by another officer, who met him and asked@ where the prisoner had gone. poesia ines NO FEATURES WILL BE LACKING.

LOUES, Mo., May 7.—The son of the late Gen. Wiliam T. Sherman, th? Rev. Father Thomas Sherman, has been appoint- ed chaplain of the 4th Regiment, Missouri National Guard. Father Sherman declined to express an opinion of the consequences of the war. He said that he considered it his duty to serve his country. He was asked by Col. Corley of the 4th to accept the position as chaplain and readily consented. He is fa- miliar with camp life, having spent consid- erable time with his father during the last war, —>—_—— ACTIVE PURSUIT OF GOMEZ. Armistice Was Declared Off in Cuba i April 30.

Thirty-two rebels have been killed, and one Spanish officer and thirty-three soldiers have been wounde sore FAIL ON PHYSICAL EXAMINATION. Washington National Guardsmen Dis- couraged at Rigidity of Surgeon TACOMA, Wash., May 7.—About twenty per cent of the members of the National Guard companies thus far examined by the surgeons at Camp Rogers have failed to pass, on account of physical disabilities. A meeting of the line officers of the regi- ment was keld and an expression was given by.some of the company commanders that if the same percentage of men were re- fused they would take their companies home and make no attempt to be muster- ed in. The officers also agreed upon a telegram which was sent to Washington asking that the examining and mustering officers be instructed to admit line officers of the regi- ment without subjecting them to the phy- sical examination. —_-__—’ Supplies for Manila Fleet. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., May 7.—At the local navy pay office, orders are being is- sued for hardware supplies to be shipped to Manila on the City of Peking. From the nature of the orders, machinery, plates, bolts, nuts and screws, it is belfeved that the Navy Department anticipates that con- siderable damage was done to our fleet in the Philippines.

Its Seizure W Give Instructions. Any international difficulty connect2d with the seizure of the French steamer Lafay- ette has been removed by the release of the ‘vessel immediately upon notice of her cap- ture reaching the State Department. The explanation for this action on the part of the administration is given in the state- meni which follows and which was issued from the White House last night: he Lufayett> was released in pursu- ance of orders which were issued by the Navy Department previously to her seizure, but which had not been received by the commanding officers of the vessels made the capture. The facts are that on April 20 the French embassy made an in- formal inquiry as to whether the Lafayette, which left Sdint Nazaire, France, for Vera Cruz by way of Havana before the war was declared or information of the block- ade received, would be allowed to land at Havana certain passengers, her mail bags and the dispatch bag of the consulate gen- eral of France, and to take some Frei passengers on board. An assurance was given that, if this privilege should be granted, the steamer wouid be forbidden by the French consul ~o land goods. “The matter was duly considered, and it was decided that, without regard to the strict law of blockade and as an act of courtesy, the request of the Frencl gov- ernment should be acceded to. Orders were accordingly sent on the 2d day of May. When information was received of the eup- ture of the steamer and of her having becn Lrought to Key West, those orders were communicated to the captors, with instruc- tions to release the steamer and to see that the orders were duly delivered, so that they might be carried into effect. No demand Was made either by or on behalf of the French government, directly or indirectly, for the steamer’s release. “fhe Wilmington will ette to Havana tonight.’ cu scort the Lafay- EXPECTED A SHARP FIGHT. Letter From a Sailor on the Balti- more to a Friend, INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 7.—A.” H. Bochstaler of this city has received a let- ter from his brother-in-law, William B. Orner, on board the cruiser Baltimore, now at Manila. The letter was written at Yokohama April 11, and it indicates that the sailors knew pretty well where they were going and the kind of work that was cut out for them. Part of the letter fol- lows: “We only called here for coal and will leave the latter part of the week for Hong Kong, China, about 2,000 miles from here. There we join the rest of the fleet, and !n the event of .war will proceed from there to Manila, Philippine Islands. The other ships there waiting for us are the Olympia, Concord, Petrel, Boston and Raleigh, and, with this ship added, will make a hard crowd to whip. Spain has but two ships of any consequence there. They are two about the type of this one, and then she has four or five frigates of the old style. They have an excellent fort just outside of Mani- la and an enormous army on the island, but I think we will have a very small job of it. Yet we might have more trouble than we anticipate in taking the place. At any rate, you can expect a geod account of us. “We have an excellent ship and a © tain who would rather fight than eat, and we all expect to go to victory or to short order when once the ball is opened. We are taking seventy-five tons of ammu- nition to the other ships at the station, and, as all the world knew of it, we hav had the sbip ready for action ail the way over.” —_—__ ADVISED TO KEEP THE ISLANDS. London Spectator Says We Ought to Retain Captares From Spain, LONDON, May 7.—The Spectator, in an article today, urges America to keep the Philippine Islands, to raise a colored army of 20,000 men, “and with this effective Sepoy army hold the Philippines, Hawaii and Porto Rico, paying the army of occupation out of th? local revenues.” Continuing, the Spectator says: “With such a garrison the citizens would be as safe as in a drawing room and as full of business as on Broadway or the Strand.” Referring to the outcome of the war, the Spectator remarks: “The Americans will emerge from the war with new ideas and larger ambitions. They will have defeated a second-class Eu- ropean state and will feel acutely that, as matters stand, they would have been de- feated by a first-class one. They could not have fought France, to say nothing of Great Britain, without suffering grave de- feats at sea and enormous losses on land. That is not the position which suits Amer- ican temper, and Washington will set itself to construct a first-class iron fleet. That once built, the desire for a position in the world equal to their position among na- tions will compel them to abandon the idea of non-intervention and change the Mon- roe doctrine into a direct and effective pro- tectorate of the two Americas. “We hope the Americans will keep the Philippine Islands, and that they can keep them there ts no doubt whatever. Europe, to put the truth in its most brutal form, cannot attack them without our permis- sion.” —— Chicago's Gift to the Cubans. Mr. W. B. Phister of Chicago reports to the State Department that the Cuban relief station opened by him in Chicago for the purpose of receiving supplies for the suf- fering men and women of Cuba was closed on the 15th ultimo, after having sent to Cuba, in care of Consul General Lee, 277 boxes and fifty-nine bags of supplies, con- sisting mainly of summer clothing for wo- men and children, beans, peas, rice, corn- meal, bacon and condensed milk. A box of quinine was subsequently sent to the same destination. ——_—_-e-____. A Portrait of Dewey. | The Secretary of the Navy has received a@ large crayoa portrait of Commodore ‘Dewey, the hero of Manila, and gave it a prominent place in his main office, where it was an object of general attention. It is th? work of Mr. Berthrong of Boston, by whom it was presented to the Navy Department. Mr. Berthrong is particular- ly well known to the older residents of Washington as a member of the celebrated Washington Base Ball Cluh when that gr- ganization held the championship of the United States. Mr. Berthrong was catcher of the team, and was one of the best ball players in the country. . SS Seven Army Corps. _ A general order has been issued by direc- tion of the President providing for the di- vision of the regular and volunteer armies into sevén army corps. The assignments of th major generals who will command the several corps will be announced at an early day. it is probable the troops of the regular army will be assimilated with the volunteers to give the latter the benofit of the experience of. the regulars. Nothing has yet been settled as to the randezvous of the corps. It is generally understood, however, that Fort Myer, Va; Atlanta, Ga.; Chickamauga, Tenn.; Richmond, Va.,, and Long Island, N. Y., have been_virtually selected as plac2s for the mobilization of | the vicinity of the the volunteer army. Pairiotic Deaf Mutes.

A well-known maker of the very finest suits and coats and capes put in a wrapper manufactory.

For instance, he used better quality of batistes, percales and dimities, he made them fuller and far more carefully. When he had finished them he found that they a cost him too much to be sold for a dollar. We made him an offer for the lot and got every garment and out they go Monday at 6g cents each. He lost, but you get the benefit—and you get the very choicest patterns in batistes, percales and dimities—the very best made wrappers to be had—made with separate waist linings—and elegantly trimmed—_ || for 69c.—the price usually asked for poorly made job-lot garments —and less than the material would cost you.
