The telephone line between Washington
day, and worked admirably. The Office of
the company is on the top story of 1920 New
York avenue. The National Capital Tele-
phone company is absorbed in the new COM
pany, known as the Chesapeake and Potomac
company, embracing Maryland and the dis
trict. The headquarters will be in this city
The company has two lines of poles between
Washington and Baltim ore, and will erect a
third, each pole having capacity for six wires
The new lines of wires will be of postal tele-
phone wire, a copper wire with steel one
In conversation with Mr.. Warren Choate,
the superintendent of the company, re-
porter asked him what were the possibilities
of the telephone.
THAT would be hard to say" was the re-
ply. :" If you ask the probabilities, should
say that within twelve months there will be
direct telephone communication between
this city and Boston, SO that you can sit in
your Office and talk with your correspondent
at the Hub. The latter place has communi-
cation already with towns in Vermont New
Hampshire Maine, and in the interior of the
state of Massachusetts. 1t also has regular
communication with Providence, r. 1. Prov.
idence has telephone communication with
towns on Long Island. With other towns on
Long Island New York city has communica-
ton, SO there is but a small gap between Bos-
ton and New York. which will soon be filed
There is gap between New York and Bati-
more which will soon be wired over, in which
case Washington and Boston will communi-
ca te directly with each other"
"H How about the west"
"Well, there is now line between New
York and Chicago,and communication be-
tween those two points is now an established
fact. There will probably be some connection
between Philadelphia and Cincinnati The
telephone business in Pennsylvania is in the
hands of three companies east, central and
west with headquarters respectively at Phil
adelphia, Harrisburg and Pittsburg. These
are gravitating to each other, and there will
soon be continuous line across the state.
A very vigorous company in Cincinnati is
reaching out all over the state of Ohio and
will naturally soon have communication with
Pittsburg."

Thomas Lucas, by q. w. Cooper and w.
Willoughby, yesterday entered suit against
the Erening Critic for libel, claiming $4,000
damages. The declaration sets forth the publi-
cation in the Critic, on May o. 1888, of "a false

good name and reputation. lie sets out the
article is headed "The Principal Pimp of
John w. Thompson Il Co." in which Is an
account Of plaintiffs arrest in Baltimore, and
says that the intention of the article was TO
convey the impression that he was an asso.
participant in theft, and that he
was unfit to be engaged as an
employe of the department of Justice. lie
further complains of an article in the Critic
of May TO- 1888, commencing What q truly
delightful state of affairs 1t is when the slums
and cutters and the prison cells have to be
raked over to get witnesses to testify against
men who have for years borne good charac-
ter in the community, and who are pre-
sumed to be innocent until proven guilty

have been had after competition. To Mr..
Coleman the witness said that he had nothing
TO do with fixing the price for stone work in
the modified contracts.
Mr.. Thompson, of the architects office, tes-
titled that go 1906 cubic feet of granite had been
cut by Mr.. Dixon or the Philadelphia build
ing under the day labor contract, at cost of
S12 per foot. Under the modified contract
95,261 feet had been furnished at n cost of
SS.321 per foot Witness had examined the
estimates of the cost of cutting stone made by
Mr. Steinmetz, and thought his prices for
work were entirely too low.
Mr.. Cluss, an architect of this city testified
that he should call in an expert where heat
ing apparatus of a complex character was re-
quired. The plans for the heating apparatus
for the Philadelphia house were submitted to
the witness and characterized ms very complex.
He did not think that the expert who pre-
pared the plans had any advantage over other
bidders.
Mr.. Thompson resumed the stand and con-
tinued his testimony. He reviewed Mr..
SteinmetZ's estimates in detail, and alleged
that they were erroneous in many particulars.
At this iuncturc Secretary Folger came into
the room and stated that, after n consultation
wit the first comptroller, he found that but
S76.l3 Tan unexpended balance of the fund
appropriated to complete the Chicago build
iug) was available to pay the expenses of tho
committee if they went TO Chicago. The
appropriation for contingent expenses was SO
specifically wOrded that IL could not be
availed of When these facts were made
known to him, he had telegraphed the col
lectOr at Chicago to send OH the witnesses in
government employ, aud to ascertain If the
other persons called for would como on If
their expenses were paid.
Mr. Coleman interjected that the call did
not name all of the witnesses he intended to
summon.
The secretary continuing said that furth or
than the sum named, he had no funds at
his disposal with which to pay the expenses of
the committee If they visited Chicago.
Again Mr. Thompson resumed his testi-
mony. He had heard Mr.. Stcinmetz make
threats against the supervising architects
Office In his hearing in restaurant, Mr.
Steinmetz had said that it was now his time
and he was going for the supervising archi-
tcct, the chief clerk, aud the chief COM
puter.
Mr. Steinmetz asked where the conversa-
tion occurred.
Mr. Thompson answered that it had hap
pCncd in an avenue restaurant, and named a
person who would corroborate him.
Thercupon Mr.. Steinmetz fatty called Mr..
Thompson a liar.
Mr.. Alexander warned Mr.. Steinmetz to
keep still or leave the room.
Some discussion followed in regard to the
future course of the committee, the secretary's
statement having disposed of the proposition
to go to Chicago.
Mr.. Totten believed that the defense could
conclude their case in day, but Mr.. Coleman
refused to make any statement as to his fI-
turc course. The committee then adjourned
until to-day.

Two thousand six hundred bushels of wheat

During the storm yesterday afternoon a
small sized cyclone struck the buildings of the
Washington and Georgetown railway com
pany and played some strange freaks. The
states were blown from the roofs in many
places and carried across the canal into Grace
street. A largo vcntilator cover was blown
from the west end of the building, istance
of about l25 feet, through trap door
in the roof of the car house, ap-
parently not as large as ITSELF and fell TO
the floor Of the car house, striking and partly
domoishing n large chandelier in its descent;
another one was blown from the same locality
into the canal, II still greater distance. The
upper sash of one of the large windows in tho
west end Of the stable was blown out without
disturbing the bead strips and swapping the
strong sash cords was carried some distance
into the stable. No estimate could be formed
last night of the amount of the damage, but
it is thought to be inconsidcrable, the damage
to the stating being the heaviest item.

ON THE RIVER.

A Goodiy Number OF Boats Out Last
Night-Meeting OF the Joint Committee
OF the AnaIostans and Potomacs in Ref
erencc to the Regattn In October.
Although the weather was very threatening,
there was large turnout on the river last
evening, especially of club oarsmen. The
Potomacs had out their eight and two four
cared shells, Herr, Morgan, Fisher, Cropley,
Mckinney, Kearney, and Noordsey in singles,
the tcu-oared barge, and six pleasure boats.
The Columbias were represented by. three
fOur-oared shells, the pair-oared, Lake, Smith,
Brewster, and johnson in singles, the ten
cared barge, and five pleasure boats.
From the Analostans were the six cared gig,
one single, and a number of pleasure boats.
The Carroll Institute club had out their
barge with a full load of lady passengers.
From Johnson & Bakers ten pleasure boats
were out
1t is rather unfortunate that the profess
sional and amateur races of the Watkins
Regatta association on Seneca lake should
have been fixed for Aug. IA next the same
day that the Washington regatta is to come
off, as it may have the effect of drawing off
some of the crews which otherwise would
probably have taken part in the latter.
At the meeting of the joint committee from
the Analostan and Potomac clubs, held at the
Potomac boat house last night, the reports
of the various committees were received
showing that the prizes for the races in the
Potomac river regatta in October had all
been promised, and that so far at least, the af-
fair would be successful, while they had every
reason to believe that number of good
crews from abroad would participate, and
make the regatta success in every particu-
Ia. The committee adjourned to meet again
on Saturday night next, at the Analostan
boat house, when the form of circulars to be
issued to the clubs throughout the country
will be submitted to the committee for their
action
