Street railway leg{#laffon for the District of Columbia occupied the attention of the Senate foe ghree-anyriege of an hour this morning the result that the Ecking- ton and Soldiers’ Homg railway bill was laid aside so that the war revenue bill might be taken up. ‘Unless some agree- ment is reached between Senator McMillan and Senator Pettigrew by which this and other street railway bills can be voted on with little or no debate, it does not appear likely that the Senate will allow these Measures to be considered until after the revenue bill has been disposed of. Mr. Pettigrew on His Amendment. Immediately after the consideration of the routine business this morning, Mr. Mc- Millan called up the Eckington and Sol- diers’ Home railway bill and Mr. Pettigrew of South Dakota proceeded to sneak in favor of his amendment limiting the length of the charter granted to this road and providing that after a certain period the Commissioners might have the right to purchase the road without taking into con- sideration the value of its charter. The amendment as originally introduced by Mr. Pettigrew provided that this right to pur- chase the road might begin any time after five years, but he amended the amendment to make this period ten years in order, as he said, to secure the votes of other sena- tors on the floor. Mr. Pettigrew said the purpose of his amendment was to do away with the grant- ing of perpetual charters to street railway companies in the District of Columbia. He said the District already had one great cor- poration stocked for $12,000,000 upon prop- erty not worth more than $5,000,000 or $6,- .000,000 at the outside. In the near future, he said, the people of this city must pay interest on this large amount of stock. He did not want to continue the practice of granting perpetual charters to private com- panies for the use of the city's streets. Street railway charters were, he said, the only charters in the District of Columbia which Congress had retained the right to alter or repeal at any time. This provision, he said, was intended to mean just what his own amendment said in more specific terms. E Mr. Pettigrew’s Explanation. “I have been surprised,” continued Mr. Pettigrew, “by the course of the people of Washington on this subject. When we un- dertook to reduce telephone rates here the business men were up in arms. This was simply because 2,000 of them used tele- phones. These are the men of thought and the rich men of this city. They were very active in organizing a business men’s league, which resulted in saving a few dol- lars to each one of them. When we un- dertake to control the watering of stock and the limiting of the power to mortgage franchises and incumber streets of Wash- ington these men are found on the other side. They do not ride in street cars. It is the poor man who rides!in street cars—the bulk of the people of Washington.” Mr. Pettigrew contindgd to say that if the business men of Washington took no in- terest in this matter. senators In whose charge the interests:of the District were placed should see ttit-that these matters are properly disposetl of." The fact, he said, nt of th American peopl? © property of apyakind and that the ealth in (this: country is in the hands of comparativélyfew persons is the direct result of granting’to private corpora- tions rights which Welon# to the ple. He said it was'4 Question whether the institutions under a republican form of gov- ernment could be maintained with these Ss lowed to go on. illan bri said that he did not r Mr. Pattigrew'’s amendment, as he believed it would prexeyt the construction wet of a modern rapid transit road on the ston and Sotdiers' Home tines. the committee on thé Distri elieved this legislation is n2cessary the people better street, railway facilities and he hoped a vote would be taken on the bill at once. M andler id that h» could not vote for Mr. Pettigrew’s ameudmeni, but that he was wi g to vote for a limitation of the charter of street railway companies to twenty years. He said he would prefer a separate bill with this object in view, bear- ing equally upon all ihe railways of the District of Columbia. Pettigrew Amendment Defeated. Mr. Pettigrew’s amendment was then vot- ed on and was defeated by a vote of 11 to 35. Those voting in the affirmative were Senators Allen, Bate, Berry, Clay, Helt- field, Jones of Arkansas, Mills, Morgan, Pettigrew, Teller and Turley. Mr. Pet- tigrew then offered another amendment limiting the charters granted by the pend- ing bili to twenty years. , Mr. Allison, chairman of the committee on appropriations, said that he would like to have an understanding about the dmount of time that was to be taken up with this railway Will. He said that the revenue bill was an important measure and should not be displa carry his but Mr. and hour, knew what en hour meant, and that it probably meant that a whole day would be given over to this railway busii Mr. McMillan: said defeat the Eckington bill amenéments inside of an Allison remarked that he S. that he realized that the revenue bill was one of great import- ance, and sented that the railway bill be pas: sr in order that the revenue bill might DEWEY COMMANDS MANILA. Sends Word That He Can Take It at Any Time. Dispatches just received from Admiral Dewey show that he has lost none of the prestige gained in his memorable fight of two weeks ago, and that while he refrains from taking the city of Manila, he has it practically at his mercy. The dispatch is dated Cavite, May 13, and is as follows: “Maintaining strict blockade. Reason to believe that rebels are hemming in the city by land, but have made no demonstration. Scareity of provisions in Manila. Probable that Spanish governor will be obliged to surrender soon. Can take Manila at any moment. Climate hot and moist. On May 12 captured gunboat Callao attempting to run blockade. Haye plenty of coal. One British, one French, two German and one Japanese vessel here observing.” The officials are making all possible haste to rush troops to supplement Admiral Dew- ey’s forces, so that if {h¢ Spanish governor does surrender the former wili not be de- pendent upon the small number of marines which he can ill spare from his ships, but will have the assistanée of soldiers in hold- ing his position and mbiptaining order. Arrangements for the (¢xpedition to the Philippines are being; rapidly concluded by the War Department: Latest reports in- dicate that 11,000 men‘/selected for the ex- pedition from the votuntéer forces in the country west of the Miugissippi river will be prepared to move in @ few days. It is the purpose now to senda force of 15,000 to the islands.

The State League of Kansas, which meets at Topeka on the 23d, has sent a special invitation to Assistant Secretary Webster Davis to be present and addfess the league. The national congressional committee also invited Mr. Davis to participate in the campaign in Oregon, which takes place in June. Because of his Gettysburg engage- ment on Decoration day, Mr. Davis declined both Invitations. —_—_—_-o.______ Suit to Recover Judgmen' Herbert A. Wilder, surviving partner of the firm of Willer & Company of Boston, Mass., today filed,a judgment creditor’s bill against John H. Oberly, Lee Hutchins and seven cther defendants, The plaintiff seeks to recover a judgment for the penalty of a certain bond of $8,000 te be released ment by Oberly and WILL SERVE THE SOLDIERS The Y. M. ©. A. to Erect Tents at Wood- burn Manor. Provisions Made for the Cenventence and Entertainment of Uncle Sam’s Boys — The Progra: Secretary Multer of the ¥. M. C. A. stat- ed this morning that arrangements are be- ing pushed forward for the location of Y. M. C. A. tents at the military encampment, near Falls Church. While it was originally intended that they should be. for the espe- cial benefit of the District Guard boys, the fact that they will be in camp such a short while here has caused a chanse in the plans, and the tents will be open to all. General Miles some time ago gave permis- sion for the Y. M. C. A. to carry on the work at the different camps in the south, and it has been prosecuted there with great success. The tents to be erected at Falls Church and the work to be done will be under the direction of the local association, co-operat- ing with the international one. They will work hand in hand. The local committee, to co-operate with the international one, consists of William B. Gurley, chairman; Anson 8. Taylor and J. M. Hoge. Others will be added to the list as the arrange- ments farther advance. It 1s probable that Secretary Multer, in a general way, will have supervision of affairs in the Y. M. C. A. tents. It is not yet known how many of these tents will be brougat into requisition, but mest likely four or five. One has already been secured of large size. This would not be sufficient, however, for the camp will extend three or four miles, so that it would be difficult and arduous for the men lccated at the most distant points to reacia them. All will be large enough to allow twenty or twenty-five men to sit down and write letters te their homes at the tables and others to read. Magazines, papers and other reading matter will be furnished the men. They will also be provided with such ames as chess, checkers and the like, so that the men can while away their idle moments in harmless pastimes. Quoits will be taken so that this game can be played tutside the tents. Feature of Athletic Work. It is considered more tan likely that scme feature of athletic work will be taken up for the soldier boys and some sort of apparatus provided for them. There is no athletic instructor at the ¥. M. C. A. head- quarters now, but it is thought some one will be found to take charge of this. Two men will be detailed from the local association to have charge of each tent. They have not been selected as yet. A ser- vice will be held each evening, conducted by one of those in charge. It will be a song service principally, as organs will be sent out to the grounds. Hymns and glee books will be distributed in the tents, so that all can join in, if they feel inclined to do so. If possible, a typewriter will be secured for each tent. The usual Sunday afternoon service will be held. A Valuable Adjunct. The Y. M. C. A. has one tent at the en- campment hear Baltimore, and it is prov- ing a valuable adjunct. As many as 500 Jetters have been written there in one day, and fifty men have been waiting outsi at one time to enter it. There will be bet- ter accommodations at the encampment here, as there will be three or four times as many tents. A library of light literature will be cured for the tents. Secretary Muiter says an opportunity will be afforded ail citizens interested in the matter later on to sub- seribe for prosecution of the work. Books and reading matter of any proper kind will be welcome, and if sent to the Y. M. C. A. will be acknowledged. Every effort will be made to make the tents popular res of resort at the camp, and it is ought if future Its are to be judged nes they will be so. md” scheme for securing sub- scriptions to the ¥. M. C. A. building fund is meeting with success, as a total of about $1,000 has already been secured. The can- vassing by the citizens has ceased for the present. The contest for the most popular member of Cong after a short ce: tion has begun again. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Lightning Causes a Fire in George W. Cissell & Co.’s Warehouse. During the storm this morning lightning struck the brick warehouse of Gecrge W. Clssell & Co., on K street, south side, al- most opposite the terminal of Potomac street, and set fire to the place. The fire Was soon discovered, and an alarm was turned in, to which the engines promptly responded. In the meantime the flames had spread, and began to consume the kle adjoining, which, only about a year ago, was gutted by fire. The warehous2 this morning was partly filled with flour. Before the flames had gained too great a headway for comfort employes and out- siders succeeded in saving a quantity of it and some feed from the second story of the stable. The firercen worked hard, and had some ifficulty in extinguishing the blaze. The material would smolder, and it required over two hours’ work before the safety of the premises was assured. The damage i3 piaced between $2,500 and $5,000, fully cov- ered by insurance. The actual loss Is sup- poved to be much nearer the first figure. Fatal Accident. John Schater, a painter who lived at 3603 M street, met with a fatal accident Satur- day afternoon while at work on the Chain bridge. Schafer, with Harry Ogle, J. H. McCluse and John Tracy, were employed in painting the ironwork of the structure. Schafer in some manner lost his balance ané fell a distance of about twenty feet. He landed on the planks of the bridge on his head, crushing his skull. Without loss of time, word was sent to the seventh pre cizet, and the patrol wagon was quickly driven to the scene, and as quickly driven to the Emergency Hospital. The man was injured beyond human aid, however, and shortly after reaching the hospital he breathed his last. Coroner Carr was noti- fied, and after learning the circumstances issued a certificate of accidental death. Schafer was twenty-nine years cf age, and was well known in Georgetown. He is a son of Mr. and Mys. George Schafer, and was married. The body was removed to the undertaking establishment of John Mc- Carthy, at 3335 M street, and the remains prepared for interment, The funeral will be held from his parents’ residence, on M street, tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Recent Death. ‘Th> funeral of John O'Connor was held this morning from the residence of his micther, at 1300 36th street, and was largely attended. At 10 o'clock a mass of requiem was chanted at Trinity Church for the re- pose of the soul of the deczased. The young man was nineteen years of age. His death occurred Friday morning. He was a son of the late Patrick O'Connor. Maggie, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Eu- gene Brown, di2d Friday at the residence of her parents, 3212 Prospect avenue, at the age of eight years. The funeral was held yesterday afterngon at 3 o'clock, the inter- mnt being at Holy Rood cemetery. Attempted Suicide. Jennie King, colored, aged twenty-two years, who lives at 3214 Brickyard alley/at- tempted to commit suicide yesterday by taking a dose of laudanum. She was dis- covered in tim? and taken to the Emergen- cy Hospital, where under prompt and vig- crous treatment she was soon resuscitated, and was sent to her home. Prays for Country’s. Cause.

He was held on two charges, one for being drunk and disorderly, the other for throwing glass into the street. ———— THE REVENUE BILL. Speculation as to the Time It Will Occupy in the Senate. There is much doubt as to the time which will be consumed by the Senate in the con- sideration of the revenue bill, which was taken up in the Senate this afternoon. Some calculations reckon on as much as thre weeks before a vote is had. It is hard- ly probable, however, that the debate can be kept up that long.
