THE SUFFRAGE QUESTION.


CommIssioner Etimonda Fnvors tho EIec-
ton OF Representative In Congress.
"How are the street improvements getting
along2 asked reporter of Judge Edmonds,
the president of the board of district com.
misioners yesterday.
"Well, we have been at work ovor month
already" was the reply I'VE commenced in
the eastern section and are coming this way.
We began in that locality because the people
there think they have been sighted hereto
fore and because the law required us to ex-
pend oil the money estimated for Capitol
HILL"
"Will you have money enough to do all
that you had anticipated this season."
"You know our estimates were cut down
by congress, but / think we will come out
without a deficiency; but think we have so
arranged matters that the best part of the
needed work will be DONE"
"Have you noticed the interviews that have
been recently published on the question OF
suffrage in the districtW
Eyes; have read some Of them, not all.
I am so busy that don't have time to read
the newspapers as / would like"
What are your views upon the question y
"Of course congress has the exclusive con-
troll of this district according to the constitu-
tion, and they cannot give up that control
unless by an amendment to the constitution.
does not relieve them from the control. /
think if they would give us a representative
in congress, not delegate but full repre-
sentative with the power to vote, that we
would then have proper representative in
the body which has control over us. There
is no reason why we should not be entitled
to that representative, for we pay taxes to the
/ general government. This representative
would then be placed upon the same footing
with other members and his opinions and
vote would then receive the weight to which
they were entitled"
"You think, then, that the election of a
representative would preserve the principle
of suffrage with the least jar to the machinery
of good government in the district"
| at seems so to me. l know and have
talked with men who are thinking Of pur-
chasing property here and making the
national capital their residence, for {
portion of the year at least bu
they are undecided until 1t IL
settled how far the government will retair
its control in the management of affairs
When territory gets sufficient amount o.
population it is immediately admitted as ;
state, and think we, with a population ot
100000, are entitled to a full representative.

ON THE RIVER.
The Boats That Were Out Yestertiay-Gos-
sip About the Clubs.

The river was alive with boats yesterday
evening, the larger proportion being, however,
pleasure boats, the only activity among the
clubs being confined to the Potomacs, who
had out three four-oared shell crews, Apple
ton, Cropley, Morgan, Roberts, kearney, and
Fisher in singles, the ten-oared barge, and
twelve pleasure boats.
The Columbias sent out only the eight and
one four-oared shell, Brewster, Kirby, and
Johnson in singles, the six-oared barge, and
ten pleasure boats
The Analostans were represented by one
io"r, the six-oared gig, and large number OF
pleasure boats. Twelve pleasure boats were
out from johnson and Bakers.
Maj. Appleton, since being relieved of the
responsibilities and cares of the presidency OF
the Potomac club, finds more time for his
favorite kind of rowing, and is out every
evening in his handsome single.
Brewster and Kirby, of the Columbias, and
Fisher and Kearney, of the Potomacs, are the
most energetic workers in singles in the river.
Brewster never misses his spin in his single,
no matter how long or hard pull he may
0ave taken in the four. He is the coming
sculler of the Columbias, as Kearney and
Fisher are of the Potomacs,
Gadsby, of the Potomacs, is tho champion
ladies' man of the river, his boat being out
every evening with one or more lady passen-
gers. and 1t has probably carried more ladies
than any boat in the house.
The Potomac's Lynchburg four are keeping
their hands in by taking hot pull three or
four times week. They show marked i'm
provement every day in their already excel
lent style.
That barge crew from the Potomac boat
house yesterday evening, captained by Will
Wheatley, were the recipients of much good
natured chatting as they passed up in front OF
the wharves. They took the island side on
fhniT raturn Tho cantain looked tired.
Although many members Of the Potomac
Boat club favor the entry of at least one four
cared crew in the August regatta, the senti'
ment of the majority is strongly against doing
so on the grounds that since they stated in
the meeting of the joint committee that il
would be impossible for them to get crew
ready before Oct. /, and especially since the
result of the contest at Lynchburg, it would
not be consistent for them to enter crew
for the regatta
