THE SPECIAL OFFICERS WITH US. = Railways Must Provide Watchmen at the ARE Several Crossings. STRAL Interesting Letter Showing the Senti- ment nt the Anti hes. . D. C. Grose, formerly Miss Hattie the talentid artist formerly of this iding with her husband tn Sid- Australia, has written an interesting letter to her mother and sisters in Wesh- ington, describing the sentiment pervading Australia regarding the war between the States and Spain. Mrs. Grose says the whole country is aroused with perfect fer- vor for the American cause, and mass meeungs are being held to express this f221- ing. “When the papers announce some: ‘The Police on Duty at Such Points to Be Returned to Their Reg- ' ular Duties. The District Commissioners today ad- dressed a note to the presidents of the var- jous street railway companies here, calling their attertion te that provision in the act to define the rights of purchasers uf the Belt railway for special policemen at street railway crossings, and inviting such sug- gestions as they may deem proper to make in the matter. As stated in yesterday's Star, the vision in the bill in question eapressly authorizes and requires the Commissioners to station special policetaen at such street railway crossings m tae city as they may deem necessary, the expense of such ser- vice to be paid pro rata by the respective companies. The third section of the also provides that negieet or failure to for the service monthly, or to bring cars to a full stop before making any of such crossings shall subject the company so ef- fending to a fine of not to exceed $25 iur every such neglect or failure, to be recov- ered in amy court of competent jurisdic- tion.

A story printed in an English newspaper to the effect that the Prince of Wales is able to ride alone after taking a dozen les- scns brings to mind how quickly the aver- age American masters the mysteries of the bicyele. ‘This applies particularly to the youngsters, both-boys and girls. Give the average boy a bicycle and turn him loose with it, and in an incredibly short space of time he will be riding that wheel like a veteran. It is the same with the girl, and some veteran instructors affirm that the girl will learn the first rudiments of the wheel quicker than will the boy. But it takes the boy to do “stunts,” as they call tricks and daring feats on the wheel. The muscles of Young America are flexible and_under remarkable control. After the thir€ or fourth day on the wheel he will take a running jump and mount the bicycle with the exactness and suppleness with which the cowboy will throw himself upon the frisky broncho. He rides with hands off the grips, dismounts over the handle- bars, coasts steep hills with his feet stick- special poticemen provided for, thereby en- abliug the Commissioners io send those | thirteen men back to their regulir duty. ‘Two of these thirteen men_are stationed at Pennsylvania avenue and 7th street, two at 98th street and Pennsylvania avenue, two at %h and F streets, two at 9th streat and New York avenue, two at 14th and U streets, two at 15th street and New York avenue, and one at 32d strect and Pennsylvania avenue. The crossings at 7th street and Pennsylvania avenue. ly. 15th street and New York avenue and at 1ith and U streets are used exclusivey by the Capita! Traction Company, which cor- poration is expected to bear the whole ex- those pense of the special policemen at pomts The Pennsylvania avi the Capital Traction, the Metropolitan, the Belt and the Anacostia, and there those four companies will bear the expense. A ’d and Pennsylvania avenue the Cap- ital Traction and the Tenleytown lines cross, and they will share the expense there. At 9th and F streets the Metro- politan and Anacostia lines intersect, und at 9th street and New York avenue tha Metropolitan and Columbia roads cross, and these lines will, respectively, share the ex- pense. Speaking of the matter today, Commi: siener Wight said the Commisstoners have not determined just how the special police- men will be appointed, whether upon tho nomination of the railway companies in- volved or solely by the Commisxoners, nor has the compensation of the men been fixed. These matters will be determined, he said, after the Commissioners shall have heard from the companies. Mr. Wight also said that it is more than likely that the Commissioners will con- clude that the other street railway cross- ings should be protected by the stationing at the respective points of spectal police- men. He thinks the provision an excellent ene, and in view of the failure of the Com- missioners to obtain at this session of Cou- gress an increase in the police force he is more than pleased with the new law, for it means ‘a material increase in the’ police with the front wheel in the air, and does other tricks which the averag> veteran cyclist would not dare attempt.

Frank Mueller, the ex-soldier who w: found in an uncpnsciots condition on Mount Olivet road at an early hour yes- terday morning, as published in yesterday Star, is thought to be in a fair to re- cover. The docters fcund a serious frac- tvre of the skull yesterday, and the re- moval of a piece of the bone was nes sary. The patient is extremely weak from the loss of blood A Star reporter was told this morning at the hospital that the patient talks in a rambling , and not much can be learn- ed from him regariling his injuries. The police investigeticn is still being made. Detectives Baur and Muller and Po- liceman Phil Broy ne made every effort yes- terday and last nght to solve the mystery, but could only hedr_of theories regarding the case. They did learn something of the man’s mcvements, however, and it is the opinioa of the officers that Mueller’s mind was not right when he left his boarding house. When he left home he carried a sweater on his arm, which was noticed by a number of persons. Several railroad men about the Trinidad shops saw*the man on the tracks, and say he acted queerly. li is stated that he was knocked down by an engine, but was not injured. Detective Muller gathered from the pa- tient this morning that he had failen on the railrcad track and had crawled away. What heppened afterward he does not know, but he recalls that a policeman held a lighted match near him when he was lying on the road. No Trail of Blood, As stated in yesterday's Star, the officers were unable to track {se blood away from where Mueller was found. Had he re- ceived the sevefé injury at some other place and crawled ‘to’where he was dis- covered by Officer, Browne there would have been a trail.of bigod left on the road. It is the belief oftsome of the officers that the man’s head injured by a wagon wheel, but this opinion is not shared by Policeman Browhe: ‘The atone covered with blood and ir Which was found per- haps a foot froni!the! victim's body tends to disprove the Mueller remem- bers that he cra: er he fell near the no recol of phase of the from. his home the country, it cerned the spiracy.
