My wife wes there.” Commissioners’ Argument in Support of Proposed Amendments. Object Stated to Be the Prevention of Mistakes in Futare Subdivisions— Withdrawal of Section One. In transmitting to Representative Jenk- ins of the House District committee the bill to amend the highway extension act of March 2, 1893, published in Saturday's Star, the District Commissioners wrote the following letter in explanation thereof: “The object of this amendment is to pro- vide an act which will attain the essential object, namely, the prevention of the lay- ing out of any more misfit subdivisions. “Should this draft become a law it will be noted that all of the sections of the original act relating to the condemnation of land will Le repealed, so that no ex- penditure fer the acquisition of land is authorized or would be authorized unless Congress should specifically later direct the highways to be opened in the same manner as it has directed in the pasi in the cases of Connecticut avenue and . Albemarle street, for example. “The draft provides a small amount of elasticity so as to permit the establishment of public institutions—a thing that was much needed in the original act. It is not believed that there will be any objection by anyone to this section as now drawn. and it will win for the bill a certain sup- port which it would not otherwise have. Withdrawal of Map No- 1. “Section 2 of the draft provides for the withdrawal of the map of the first section in order that portions of that which may make changes in existing subdivisions may be wiped out, and that the remaining por- tion of it covering unsubdivided lands may be platted, so that the essential highways may be laid down with less hardships to the small holders. It is believed that this can be done so that the objections urged by the citizens of Brightwood can be met, and that this section may have as universal support as is now accorded the maps of sections 2 and 3. “Any possible injury to property owing to the existence of the map is believed to be removed by section 5 of the draft. “It is believed to be very desirable to re- tain sections 1 to 5 of the original highway act, @s they contain legislation which would be needed in any event, and inasmuch as the appropriations made for the payment of services in actually subdividing lands, in the current and pending appropriation bills, are made to carry out the provisions of the act of 1893, the certain repeal of said act would make it necessary to revise the wording of these appropriations, and in the meantime would cause great embarrass- ment, even though the provisions of these sections were again enacted into law, as proposed. “The Commissioners believe that this draft as now proposed will meet with the hearty support of almost every one inter- ested in the subject.” >_—— AN EARLY MORNING BLAZE Principal of a Oollege and His Children Resgued From Peril. There was an exciting scene enacted at a fire at the Columbia College of Commerce, No. 614 12th street northwest,a few minutes after 5 o'clock this morning. Professor Cc. K. Urner, who conducts the college, and his three chiidren were occupying the front room cn the third floor of the building. ‘The smell cf smoke aroused the professor, and he was soon out of bed on an inv gating tour. Seeing the hall and rear rooms were filled with smoke, and that it. was impossible to etcape by the stairway, he went to the front window to call for as- sistafice. The only yperson on the street was a colored man. In response to the call he said he did not have time to walk back a few feet and turn in an alram, but Professor: Urner would not take no for an and finally convinced the colore!l t the loss of time on his part was necessary to save several Ives, and then he started to retrace his footsteps to turn in an alarm from box 1: Even then the colored man did not hurry until Pro- fessor Urner shouted at him a number of times. Hardly had the last bell of the sounded before truck C, No, i pany and chemical engine Fort ere S. i ly ot the truck com- for them the membe! pany. had their ladders up in a few sec- onds and they were soon rescued. Fire in the Store Room, In the meaniine members of the chem- ical company went to the rear raoms en the third floor, where the tire was lecaied, and which had evider along time. It had arted in the store room, where most of the valuable siation- ery of the college was deposited. There wus nothing to show > origin of the blaze. the building as late as midnignt and that everything was all right. Inste: of fiooding the building water the firemen used only cnough for the chemi- cals, and with this they suceeeded in ©: tinguishing the flames withous doing mu additional damage. While the flames were fined to the store room smoke did con- in the schocl room ad- 5] able injury jeining. The building is Thomp:en and was the extent of about f00. Professor Urner says his lcss may amount to $3,000, and he carried but a small amount of insurance. The building was fully insur z owned by John W. DUTY OF CITIZENS. Letter to Clergy and Laity of the Catholic Church, A letter, which been indorsed by Mer. Martinelli, the apostolic delegate, has been agreed upon by the archbishops and bishops of the Catholic Church in the United States, to be addressed to the clergy and laity of the country. It will be read in every church Sunday. It is as follows: “To the Ciergy and Laity of the Catholic Church of the United States, Grgeting “The events that have succeeded the blowing up of the battle the sacrifice of 266 innoce patriot ecamen of the culminated in wz own beloved coun Fave been the individual of Am ns prior to the de - tion of war, there can now be-no two opin- ions as to the duty of evel joyal Am a citizen. A resort to arms was determined upon by the Chief Executive of the nation, with the advice of both houses ef Congress and after consultation with his cabinet of- ficers; but not until after every effort had been exhausted to bring about ‘an honor- able and peaceful solution of our difficulties with Spain. The patient calmne: the dig- nified forbea-ance, the subdued ness of President McKinley during the trying time that intervened between the destruction of the Maine and the declaration are beyond all praise and should command the admira- tion of ev2ry true American.

Secretary Long has written a letter to Speaker Reed in response to representa- tiens made by Messrs. F. E. Boothby and M. N. Rick of the board of trade of Port- lend, Me., in which he says that the United States cruisers Columbia and Minneapolis have been patrolling the coast of New England for about a week; that the United States cruisers San Francisco and New Or- leans are 10w off that coast, and that other vessels will join them in a few days. The harbor defense gunvoats and inshore patrol have not yet been established, as Congress kas not passed ‘the bill appro- priating money for this purpose. In conclusion he says: “lt must be ap- parent to every one that the best security of our entire coast is in the destruction of the Spanish fleet. Until that is done there may be some danger of raids, but the New England coast is comparatively safe.” ——e.__ French Guiana is said to have the most violent thunder storms in the world.
