The Secretary of the Interior, in response to a Senate resolution of inquiry, yesterday $ scht to that body a statement by President Hitchcock of the Maritime Canal Company in relation to the Nicaragua canal. In his statement Mr. Hitchcock makes a proposi- os tion iE issue to the Secretary of the Treas- ury 700,000 shares of its capital stock, of the par value of $70,000,000, on condition that the government of the United States guarantee the payment of both principal and interest of a new issue of bonds of the bonnerte amounting to $100,000,000. ‘The proposition includes the release by all the ockholders except the governments of Nicaragua and cent of securities conceded to the pro- moters of the caral enterprise.

In ‘this connection this District law offi- cer called attention to the following opin- icn of Commissioner Ross, ente minutes of the boaed of Commissioners April 1, 1898, in which Col. Black, the En- gircer Commissicner, concurred: ‘Section 4 of the building regulatio: regard to the height of buildings pro for an exception where a height exceeding on avenues 160 feet the space in 120 feet may be allowe wide. In view of the fact th: front of this preposed structur feet wide, there is no question in my mind that the spirit of the re: ets northwest of the height proposed in this application.’ The difficulty with this interpretation of the regulation in regard to the height of buildings, the attorne is that it tukes into conside ion, 17th street, in connection with the width c the public reserva- tion known as Farragut Square, and leaves out of view the fact that both 17th and I ets are residential stre nd not busi- streets, as defined bythe regulation. ie Reservation. “Farragut Square,” thp Dfstrict’s law of- ficer explains, “is ic park or reser tion, and is o@17dh street.

Officer’s Evidence Causes a Change. Sergeant Patrick O'Neil, yho introduced himself as a veteran of \'6, was in the Police Court this morniig, upder the name of James O'Bright, for alleged disorderly conduct. “I'm guilty, your hotior, the prisoner answered when arraigred, ut I'm going to Hampton. I went gewn,to the wharf and missed the boat, and ‘then I got to drinking. It was a foplish ,thing for me to do, for since '65 I haye,ngt been able to stand much.” “Did I understand you to say you were going to Hampton?” asked Judge Scott, who had no court acquaintance with O'Neil. ‘Yes, your honor,” he responded, ‘and going to remain there.” «,, Take his personal bonds,” said the court, ‘that he goes away to remain.”" Before the clerk could comply with the order of the court, Paliceman Smith said he desired to be heard. He said that O'Neil was fighting drunk and, he gave consid-“ erable trouble, in ad chair in the station. Mr. Pugh explained that the isoner had made the statement he had le twen- ty times before.
