The committee on briiges re- ports in particular that it Ras secured tt enthusiastic indorsement of the Grand Army of the Republic of the proposed na- tional memorial bridge which it is hoped will some day span the Potomac between this city and Arlington. The chairman of the committee on =treets find avenues is Mr. Myron M. Parksr, and the report is as follows: “Probably the most important matter of legisiation passed during the present year affecting the interests of the peopie of “he District of Columbia was the repeal by Congress of that portion of the highw act to suburban subdivisions of ch 2, 1803). .ng of us board committee on streets and avenues mmended that the highway act should ive such remedial legisiation as would enable it to be speedily carried out. It Was very @ able that the changes con- templated in the courses and width of the Streets and avenues, shown by the maj Of the sections prepared by the Comntf! sioners of the District, should be made, Provided this could be speedily done; but it ame evident that the delay that had al- sdy oceurred in executing this act had ked great hardships to the owners of state affected by these proposed = in existing subdivisions, and that remedial legisiation coud be speed- id, it would he more desirabie t uld be repeaied than that the h eceasioned should be longer re v effort was made by this beard to have Congress so amend or repeal the ab- jectionable features of the act, so that its main features couid be carried out as orig- tnally conterapiated. With this end in view & bill was prepared with great care by a special committee of this board. consisting of R. Ross Perry, A. S. Worthington, Wm. F. Mattingly. J Paul, James B. Wimer, A. T.

Ap- all land so taken has beer Congress.” Report on Bridges. The yt of the committee on bridges is submitted by Chairman R. Ross Perry, and is one of the most interesting made to the board of trade. It is as follows The committee on bridges has to rep that it has not been able during the Fear to secure any appropriation from ¢ gress for the purpose of erecting 2 fal bridge. This bridge has ly recommended by different etarie: War and is, it is believed, universally fa- vored. The only objection to the building of it has been the decreased revenue of the government for the past few years. As, however, this reason no longer exists, it is hoped that during the coming session of Congress an appropriation will be made which will constitute a first step in the complishment of this most desirable public ement. t is proper to say that .hrough the ef- forts of Mr. Frank Hume of this commit- tee, an enthusiastic indersemen: of this na- tional memorial bridge has Leen made by the Grand Army of the Republic. ngineer Commissioner's Statement. ith respect to other work upon bridges the committee has to report that through S chairman it addressed a letter to the er Commissioner and rec tthe detailed communication from jon of $#).000 made by the Massachusetts avenue Connecticut avenue bridge k creek is for the preparation The descent is certain from weak lungs, lingering coughs, throat troubles or bronchial affections through bleed- ing lungs, to consumption, if the first stages are neg- lected. Thon- sands of peo- ple who are now im their graves would be alive and well to-day if they had heeded the first warnings of those troubles which lead to consumption and death The hacking cough, spitting of blood, weak lungs. and all similar troubles of the organs of breathing, will surely lead to consumption, if they are not already the signs of it Then there are the other indi- cations of the approach of consumption, such as night-sweats, emaciation, or wast- ing away of flesh from bad nutrition, which, if neglected, lead to certain death. Ninety-eight per cent. of all the cases of weak lungs, bleeding lungs, lingering and obstinate coughs, and other bronchial and throat diseases, which have been treated with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dise ery, have been cured by it.

P.ans for the Connecticut avenue bridge were submi ted to Congress by the Commissioners after receiving comp-titive designs, the design submitted by Mr. Geo, H. Morison being recommended by the Commissioners. No preference, however, has been expressed by Congress in making the appropriation for the foundation. For the Massachuset.s avenue bridge two des.gns were submitted by the chief of engineers, one for a ma- sonry structure and one for a steel arch the nunber of spans in each of the bridges being different, and, of course, ootings or fcundations for the piers rying in number and position. No recommendation was made by the chief of engineers and no preference has becn ex- pressed by Congress. It will therefore be impossible to locate the points at which the foundations should be constructed until Congress decides upon the class of bridge to be built. “The work of laying foundations is now under advertisement, and it is propo-ed to execute a contract with n the next thirty days, work on which will be commenced as soon as Congress indicates which plan it prefers. brid, Work Already Done. During the year the P street bridge erossing Rock crsek was widened by the addition of brackets upon each side, so a8 to give the formerly very narrow bridge at this place the same width as the ‘street on either side. Contract has been made for material for flooring the Aqueduct bridge, the old flooring having become so rough and the joists having shown signs of con- siderable decay. These joists had formerly decayed upon the upp2rside to such an ex- tent that they were unabl: to hold the spikes of the flooring, but the appropria- tions made by Congress were so insufficient that it was impossible to purchase new joists, and the old ones haa to be turned over, th: lower side showing less decay than the upper side. They have now be- eccme so weak that it is absolutely neces- sary to purchas? new materials, and the flcoring of this bridge will practically ex- heust the bridge appropriation for th2 pres- r. teel girder bridge was built across Rock creek on Blagden Mill road, replacing an old wooden and iron truss bridge at that point, which had become so weak that it WAS necessary to prop it up. New bridges will he greatly needed upon the road which t is proposed to build between Blagden Mill road and the Military road skirting the creek. No appropriation, however, has been made for this, and it will probably be im- > to get them built until funus are ““Phe Navy Yard bridge should be re- placed, but no request was made this year for an appropriation for the purpose, on ac- count of the greater urgency of other mat- ters and @ desire to obtain more detailed plans concerning the structure which should be bulit there. Policy of the Comminsioners. “Phe general policy of the office to re- move the small bridges on the various county roads crossing small streams will be carried out during the coming yest. A culvert costs practically nothing for repair, the masonry requiring no further attention than occasional pointing up of the joints, while a wooden bridge is a source of con- tinual expense. There was a survey made under the direction of the chief of engineers for a bridge over the Anacostia river on the line of Massachusetts avenue; an ap- propriation was also made for securing the ne ry information for preparing plans for the proposed memorial! bridge across the Potomac. This work, however, comes un- der chief of engineers, and the Com- ioners have nothing to do with it The question of replacing the Long » by a more durable structure has, I been considered, but nothing will be done in the matter until the terminal plans for the railroads entering the ity from the sor ‘It is the rest i ession of prob 2 that luring the Congress there can be from that } legislation = will authorize the construction of the memorial bridge and will appropriate a substantial sum of money for the beginning of work upon It a COMPANY MUSTERED OUT. Veterans of Signal Corps Restored to Civilian Life. muster-out of the Fifth Company of ited States Volunteer Signal Corps * begun this morning at the Washington The Barracks. They are a fine-looking and un- usually intelligent body of soldiers, and many of them were recrulted from this city and the adjoining states. Among the number there are newspaper men, editors, well as reporters, telegraph operators and clerks, and in point-of age they formed one of the youngest companies in the ser- vice. Having been a part of the first ex pedition to Porto Rico, and having been under the fire of the enemy, they proudly lay clatm to the distinction of being yeter- ans, The company was mustered into servic at the barracks in this city in July last. They left the 9th of that month to report to Gen. Wilson, at Charleston. 8. C., and there they were divided into three detach- ments. They embarked July 20 and 21 for Porto Rico, and landed at Port au Ponce the 28ch following. ‘They were the first to arrive at Adjuntas, August 1, and at Upor- to they captured arms and ammunition with whick the Spaniards intended to arm At the battles of Coamo, Au- Abonito, August 12, they per- d valuable signal service.

The city post office is running along in its new quarters as if it had never known any other home, and if there is a little friction existing between some of the participants ir the important work over the occupancy of certain space or parts of space it is only of the character that a brood of chickens plays when the fiedglings are hustline for preference under thefr mother’s wings. ‘To carry out the illustration, Postmaster Willett ts giving all his numerous flock the full measure of his prote¢tion and interest, and with an occasional cluck of admonition settles these small controversies in most ble style.

Hearing was begun today before Judge Cole, in Circuit Court No. 1, of the suit a law instituted May 20, 1896, by Grove L. Johnson against George W. Cochran to re- cover $1,257. In his declaration “Mr. Johnson ex- plains that the defendant, the 1lih of March, 1896, was the proprietor of the Ho- tel Cochran and entertained persons trav- cling there for certain compensation.

First Office Opened at C: ite — Dis- tributing and Receiving Mails— Service Now in Good Order. The Post Office Department has receiveil the report of F. W. Vaille, assistant super- intendent, railway mail service, who went to Manila to take charge of the mall for the soldiers and sailors of Uncle Sam. Mr. Vaille left San Francisco June 15, and ar- rived at Cavite July 16. After referring to the delay in getting to work he says: The first office was opened up at Cavite on July 30. During this period of waiting one mail had been made up on board the steamer for dispatch to the United States via Hongkong, and two maiis for dispatch direct by United States transports. By a combination of circumstances I wes enabled to land and enter Manila an hour or more before any of our soldiers entered the city, and soon thereafter succeaded in finding the Manila post office. ‘faera I war courteously recelved and shown over the’ office. As the hotels were crowed, I slept in the office that night. Sunday morning, August 1, I secured a detail of two soldiers and placed them on guard in the post office, with instructions not to interfere with the work of the rz ish employes, but to see that nothing w removed from the office. = With the occupation of Maniia caiega sit uation that had not heen foreswen, and ccr- sequently no instructions had been issued to govern. The Manila Office. It was out of the question to allow the Spanish officials tc controi the handling of the Mcnila mails, and it was imperative that this service should be maintained and communication with Asia and Europe open- ed up at once to the merchants of Manila. There was but one thing to be done—as- sume charge at once of the Manila office and administer its affairs in conjunction with the army and navy mails. A roster of the employes of the office had been pre- pared at my request and was handed to me on my return from Cavite. This showed 205 employes, at 2 total salary of $76,266 a year. I posted a notice retaining fifteen of them in the employ of the United States. These fifteen reported for duty Tuesday, the 16th, but soon quit, and it was learn- ed that they feared to endanger their standing in the Spanish service by work- ing in the office. Two additional soldiers were detailed and reported for duty in the post office on the 16th, and a fifth detail was secured on the ith. With this force of five soldiers 1 kept up the city service and dispatched mails to the states and Hongkong (including Eu- rope). Exchanging Mails. Immediately after the cessation of hos- iilities, as steamers began to open up com- munication with the provinces, I began ex- changing mails with those points that were still in possession of Spain, and have kept it up, under the agreement that United States stamps shall be recognized on mat- ter emanating here and Spanish stamps on matter received here from these places Domestic rates of postage were made ap. plicable to all points in the Philippines. To such points as were in possession of the insurgent forces no mail been sent, for the reason that In such places there no duly authorized officials to properly protect the mails and insure their deliy All matter for places controlled by insurgents is held at this office.

This arrangement is working very satisfactorily and saves the department a very considerable sum that would other for this se No funds were found by me in th Under Spanish rule stamps were s the government to private individuals, count, and they sold to the peopl stamps were sold or handled in the post of- fice. Since the arrival at this station we have dispatched fifteen mails to the United States by transports and three mails via Hong Kong for connection to steamers running to San Francisco and Tacoma. In that time we have received from the United States seven mails by transports and two mails via Hong Kong. The differ- ence 1s explained by the fact that two or more transports generally leave San Fran- cisco together, while they have been dis- Patched from here singly. We have dispatched foreign mails to Hong Kong twenty-eight times, to Singa- bore twice and to Saigon once.’ Additional dispatches have been made to Australia and Japan direct. We have recelved foreign mails from Hong Kong twenty-two times. One European mail was recelved from Sing- apore via Hlotlo, We have dispatched to tae provinces in the Philippines forty-two mails, and have recelved from the provinces fifteen mails. With the branch station at Cavite (estab- lished September 7, with Lieutenant Jen- nings of South Dakota Volunteers in charge, to provide mail facilities for the Ist Divis- lon of Sth Army Corps, which is stationed at that point) there has been a double daily —once on Sunday—exchange of mails.

While during the first weeks of the oc- cupation of Manila the work to be done scemed to be impossible in this climate and with inadequate facilities, yet we have managed to accomplish it, and I am pleased to report that if there Is in the army or navy or among the citizens of Manila any one who has any complaint against the service at this point, he has very unkindly refrained from making it known to me. The regular employes of the service sta- tioned here have worked very faithfully, and worked voluntarily when they were sick and really unfit for work. The three railway postal clerks, B. F. Richards, A. L. Worthington and E. G. Witzler, came here in obedience to what they thought their duty, without any increase in pay to meet unusual expenses, paying their way on the steamer from San Francisco, 1. e., their board. Additional compensation has been allowed others for service in this climate. The work that these men have performed entitles them to increased compensation, and I earnestly recommend that this be granted, to cover the period they are away from the states. Of the soldiers detailed here I have found some willing and able to hear their share of the burden. The others are generally sick or indisposed and cannot be depended upon in an emergency. In other words, they have learned how “‘to soldier.” For the future, should history repeat it- self, I would recommend that the depart- ment send out a sufficient force of its own. employes to handle the work to be done, and not depend upon any detail from the army. The real work of United States military station No. 1 in the Philippines is practi- cally ended. Everything is now running smoothly, and from now until the end the work will be routine work merely. +--+ —____.
