Ripley of the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology will lecture tomorrow afternoon beforg the National Geograpiic Society upon the general* sub- ject of Austria-Hungary. Mr. Ripley fs the author of the “Races of Europe,” published in 1899, which attracted so much attention as a most comprehensive treatment of the different races of Europe. In his lecture Prof. Ripley will characterize the many varying nationalities that combine to make what we call Austria-Hungary. The per- sonality of Pmperor Francis Joseph and the probable fate of Austria-Hungary ufter his death will also be discussed. : The lecture will be given in the Colum ‘Theater at 4:20 o'clock. tee on Senate bill 3411, to provide for the removal of overhead telegraph and tele- phone wires in the city of Washington and for the construction of conduits, ete. Sev- eral amendments to the measure are rec- ommended by the Commissioners, and, as so amended, they recommend favorable ac- tion thereon. ‘The bill first provides that all telegraph and telephone wires and poles in a specified section shall be taken down and the wires ced in underground conduits. within two rs from the approval of the bill. It also authorizes the Commissioners to permit the construction by any individual, company or corporation now operating and maintain- ing a telegraph or telephone plant or sys- tem, of conduits for the reception of the wires which would be removed from over- head under the provisions of the first sec- tion of the bill, and for such other wires as may be needed by them for the future growth of thelr business. They are also authorized to permit the erection of alley poles for the use of distributing wires. The third section of the bill prescribes the control which the Commissioners may ex- ercise over the construction of conduit and provides that extra ducts shall be pr vided for the use of the government and of the District. The Commissioners believe that the following could be added to the end of this section with advantage: “All constructions made under authority of this act shall conform to a general subway sys- tem approved by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia. And when the sub- way is constructed along any street, ave- nue or highway it shall contain all con- duits and such other constructions existing in said street, avenue or highway as said Commissioners may decide, and under such regulations and upon such terms as they may prescribe.” Size of Conduits. The following section of the bill prescribes the size of the conduit and authorizes cny party constructing a conduit to rent por- tions of it to any other company which may not desire to build for itself. Attention is invited by the Commissioners to the fact that the first sentence on page 5 states “that all subways or conduits constructed under the provisions of this act shall be cf sufficient size and capacity to contain all telegraph and telephone wires cables now existing along the route of the conduits to be so constructed,” together with a y vision for their extension. Lines 24 an page 5, and lines 1 to 5, page 6, state, such individual, company or corporation shall not be compelled to construct any such conduit of capacity greater than its own needs will require, until the owner or owners of the other wires or cables to be placed therein, shall have obligated iiself te use such conduits when completed and to make reasonable compensation for such use to the party constructing the conduits.” This, the Commissioners say, is apparent- ly in conflict with the first sentence of page 5, which requires all subways or conduits constructed under the provisions of the act to be of sufficient size to contain all tele- graph and telephone wires and cables. It is believed by the Commissioners that the dis- crepancy can be avoided by adding the words “by any company or corporation, after the word “act,” page 5, line 2, and by striking out the words “telegraph and tele- phone,” in line 3, page 5, and inserting in lieu thereof the word ts," so that the clause will read: ‘That all subways or con- Guits constructed under the provisions of this act by any company or corporation all be of sufficient size and capacity to contain all its wires and cables now exist- ing along the route of the conduits to be constructed,” ete. Reasons for Amendment. This would, the Commissioners think, re- quire each company to look after and pro- vide conduits for its own wires, but would allow arrangements to be made between the companies, so that one company might lay conduits for one or more other com- panies, receiving rental from them there- for. The fifth section of the bill authorizes the of an overhead system outside of the vu: fire limits of the District, and this, the Commissioners believe, is no more than sonable, as owing to distance by tween buildings into which electricity would be introduced, to require the com- panies to construct conduits would be in- volving them in expense not warranted, they think, by the benefits received. It is also recommended* by the Commissioi that the term “company or corporation” be used throughout the Dill, instead of the words “individual, company or corpora- tion.” -With their report, the Commissioners transmitted a copy of the bill amended in accordance their suggestions, upon which they recommend favorable action. SS NIAL HIBIT. T) ition Considered by Game and Fish Protective Axsociation. The Game and Fish Protective Associa- tion of the District of Columbia is consider- ing a proposition to give a centennial exhi- bition in this city, under its auspices, which would include not only an exhibit on the part of manufacturers from all parts of the United States and Canada, but bring together sportsmen from everywhere, in competition for laurels to be offered ex- perts in the use of the rod In casting and the gun in marksmanship and clay pigeon shooting. It is proposed that a convention be held in connection with the exhibit to be attended by renresentative sportsmen 1 parts of the world. ation has in preparation a val- uable pocket edition of the laws and other information bearing on their enforcement, which will be handsomely bound and_ be issued to members of the association.

For Virginia, fair, cokler tonight and Wednesday; winds becoming fresh north- westerly. Weather conditions and general forecast. —The storm which was central Monday morning over Lake Superior is rapidly pass- ing out the St. Lawrence valley, and there has been a general and marked rise in pressure, except in the Atlantic states, A high area of decided proportions now cov- ers the west and northwest and there has been a general fall in temperature of 10 degrees to 25 degrees east of the Rocky mountains, except in the Atlantic and east gulf states. Over these colder districts tem- peratures are again 5 degrees to 15 degrees below the seasonal average. Rain continued Moriday from the guif states northeastward, followed by rapidly clearing weather. There was also some light snow in the upper lake region and ex- treme northwest. The high area in the west will continue eastward, causing a con- tinuance of the low temperature in the cen- tral west and its extension to the Atlantic and gulf ccasts Wednesday. ‘This high area will dominate conditions for the next two or three days, and fair weather may conse- quently be expected in the east and south, with temperatures somewhat below the sea- sonal average. Frost is probable in the interior of North Carolina, central and northern South Caro- lina, northern portions of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi_and in Arkansas tonight. On the New England coast winds will be fresh to brisk westerly, while on the middle and south Atlantic coast they will be fresh west to northwest. orm signals are displayed on the At- lantic coast from Sandy Hook to Eastport.

The attorney of the District, to whom the Commissioners referred Senate bill 3558, to amend the act of January 31, 1899, entitled “An act to change the proceedings for ad- mission to the Government Hospital for the Insane in certain cases,” has advised ad- verse action thereon. With his report on the proposed amendatery act the attorney transmitted the draft ef @ bill to repeal said act and reinstate the former proceed- ings in lunacy cases. ~ » The existing law does. not, the attorney states, provide for a trial by jury of the question of a person's mental condition, and he doubts the constitutionality of this law, referring in this connection to an opin- fon of the Court in General Term of the District, rendered sey, years ago, in which the court held that the, commitment of a person to the insane asylum without a trial by jury was ungonstitutional. The existing law, the attorney -belleves, should be repealed, being, in hisvopinfon, otherwi: objectionable. ne rng: 2 Sleeps Nowi QUIT DRUG COFFEE AND USES. POSTUM FOOD CORBEE. 1) * “While on a visit to a relative in New Hamp- shire, who runs a fruit farm, I found on the sup- per table what appeared to be a strong cup of coffee. I usually drank tea at night and they knew it, but asked me to try the coffee, saying it was Postum Food Coffee, and the reason they served It was that they found when they got up early in the summer mornings and drank a cup of coffee to brace up on, they generally had a head- ache or sick stomach along about noon, and that thelr grocer persuaded them some time before my visit to try Postum Food Coffee, After a week's trial they adopted it for the family, and had never returned to the ordinary coffee, saying that it had worked @ wonderful change in all of them—no more sick headaches, no more sick stomachs, “For two weeks I used Postum, and when I re- turned to Boston I banished tea and coffee from the table forever. My complexion bas made a decided change for the better, and it goes without saying that I feel greatly benefited. My nights eae sleepless now, as they were when I was a fee drinker,”* M. E.

BIG CROWD ASSURED —_+___ The great concourse which will be at-+ tracted to Washington by the annual ses- sion of the Imperial Council, Ancient Ara- bic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, May 22 and 23, will not be required to burn its feet by traversing long stretches of burn- ing sand. On the other hand, the nobles and their ladies and the host of other visi- tors, who invariably attend such an event, will be favored by the railroads to an ex- tent hitherto unequaled. The Trunk Line Association, which controls the fixing of rates upon the various railroads in this country and Canada, decided at a recent meeting to grant a rate of a single fare for the round triy for tickets bringing their holders from any point in the United States or Canada to the national capital and tak- ing them back again. Larger Throng Expected. This was announced last night at a meeting of the executive committee, which has all the arrangements for the ses- sion of the Imperial Council in charge, and was greeted with much gratification, as it assured a throng of Gisitors twice or three times as large as was originally estimated, when !t was believed that the rate of one and one-third fares for the round trip, which has heretofore been the lowest granted, would prevail. The committee on transportation, by its Chairman, J. J. Harrover, and its vice chairman, Thomas P. Morgan, had seen the Trunk Line Association recently, and were told that the best rates that could be given would be one fare for the round trip to parties of fifty or more traveling on one ticket, and one and a third fares for the round trip for certificate tickets issued to single passengers. Messrs. Harrover and Mcrgan had another consultation with the association, and upon their representations of the importance of the occasion and the attractiveness of Washington, especially in May, to the national public generally, the lower rate mentioned was decided upon. Sexsions in Columbia Theater. Potentate Frank H. Thomas of ‘Almas Temple, who is also chairman of the ex- ecutive committee, presided at the meet- ing, and it was wellvattended. It was decided that the sessions of the Imperial Council would be held in the Co- jumbia Theater, and a contract was en- tered into with Managers Luckett and Dwyer to this effect. The committee on entertainment, through its chairman, George W. Evans, reported plans for a reception to the imperial poten- tate and a ball at Convention Hall at an expense of $3,225, and this is now under consideration. A spectal committee, consisting of Chair- man Frank H. Thomas, Harrison Dingman, George H. Walker, Brainard H. Warner and Edwin B. Hay, was appointed to wait on President McKinley and request him to give an evening reception during the cele- bration to the Imperial Council and the visiting nobles and their tadies. Such a reception was held by President Harrison during the triennial conclave of the Knights Templar held here in 1889. The committee will wait on the President one day this week. Substantial Contributions. Chairman B. H. Warner of the finance committee reported a partial list of sub- scriptions to the fund which will be util- ized in entertaining the Imperial Council and which has been fixed at $50,000.

The experts in diseases of cattle who have been endeavoring to correctly diagnose and name the fatal illness which appeared re- cently among the herd of dry cows at the St. Elizabeth barns have not yet submitted a report to the hospita! officials, although their decision is being waited for anxiously. The experts were again called upon a cou- ple of days since to make examinations of three more dead cows, one of which had been killed to €nd its suffering. Four of the cows which have died were valued at about 200. é One of the men who has had an opportu- nity to witness the various stages of the sickness describ the mptoms as frot ings at the animal's mouth, the gritting of the teeth, loud bellowings and a final fail, as in a fit, followed shortly by death. sick ones, it is stated, take no food, but in stead drink great quantities of water. ees, Receiver Appointed.
