The annual report of the district COM
missoners, which was disposed of by
rallle last Friday, shows that our debt at
the end of the fiscal year was $22, Ass, ,357,
or Sl26.44 per capita, 1t is shown that
the largo proportion of 36 40 per cent. of
the district revenues are required to meet
the annual obligations growing out of
this heavy dobs.
Attention is called to the failure of the
Htreet-car companies to provide accommo-
dations for passengers up to tho evident
intention OF congress when granting their
charters and to their encroachments upon
streets without warrant of law. Some
suggestions as to legislation designed to
reflgm those corporate abuses are offered.
A accommodation that will receive ap-
provAl is one for compilation of the
present laws applicable to the district, with
such amendments as will simplify forms,
supply emissions, and make q complete
body of municipal laws.
The police and fire departments are re-
ported to bo in satisfactory condition,
and authority is asked to establish fund
from which relief may be extended to
disabled policemen and to their widows
aud children. The suggestion is humane,
and to the proposition to provide the
means by deducting a small sum from

added one for turning in the proceeds of

of fines, Sc, as in the case of the New

recommended increasing tho number
of hours during which street lamps
shall be lighted from the present
limit Of 1900 to 5000. to
secure tho removal of overhead
wires within reasonable time for tho

RAYMoND's JOKE ON IRVING.
The Comedian Gives the Tragediau Some Sur
prising 70 ltlcil Information.

According to the New York Journal the rea-
son for Mr. Irving's delay in making his ap.
pearance so long after his arrival in this
country from Liverpool is said TO have been
occasioned by Mr.. John r. Raymend, who has
q keen relish for practical joking.
Happening TO come across the trngedian in
Canada. the subject of Irving appearance in
New York during the election excitement was
discussed. when Irving said he had doubts
whether 1t would be profitable TO go there that
week.
Why my dear fellow" said Raymond, "it
isn'ta question Of profit so much us one OF
personal safety"
what do you mcan?" asked Irving, with
startled expression upon his face.
"ThGu you have not heard?' queried the
comedian with a solemn air.
"Hcard-heard WHAT" exclaimed Irving.
why, that dnringan election the aboriginal
instincts ofthe New York people are thoroughly
aroused. They 90 about armed with axes and
execute war dances in the most alarming
fashion. All quiet persons especially the
high-toncd people, secure the doors and re-
main within their houses. Beside the per-
sonal risk you would not get corporal's
guard in your house, Irving"
"ls it possible?' quoted irving.
81 suppose you have heard of Tammany?'
continued Raymond.
"Ges, have seen the name somewhere, but
what OF thatY'
"TammRuy is the great political society in
New York, most Ol whose members are
lineally descended from celebrated chief of
that name, who was guaranteed certain rights
at the declaration of Independence. Tam
many formed n society and his descendants
retain all their old customs during election
times; they parade the streets, flourish their
tomahaWks, and, in fact. create the widest
alarm. Upon the whole, living, don't think
II will be well for you to show yourself in New
York until election is over"
The advice of Raymond was taken and
Irving Jumped the town" Whether or no,
Mr., Raymond had an engagement in Now
York with which Mr.. Irvings appearance
would have intcrlered is not stated but II
such was the case, Mr.. Raymond exhibited
considerable shrewdness in preventing the
tragedian from appearing.

The statement hns been published that Il
was probable the conservation Of Rev Dr. Paret
as bishop of Maryland would take place in
Epiphany church ON Jan. 5, lssj. Rev. DR..
Paret stated to REPUBLICAN reporter last
evening that rs yet no appointment of time
and place had been made, and that It was
presuming to anticipate the action of the pre-
siding bishop in the matter There are forty.
nine standing committees OF the Episcopal
church In the United States, and each Of these
committees has to meet In its diocese aud vote
upon the matter of the selection of the new
bishop, and II is necessary for II majority to
approve before anything can be done. Cp to
the present time only twenty committees have
been heard from. When the committees have
approved, the nearly sixty bishops of the
country consider the selection, and majority
of them must approve When all this is done
Bishop Lee, Of Delaware, the presiding bishop,
will make the appointment for the Consccra
tion, and until he speaks no one has authority
to say when or where the ceremony will take
place. and nothing can be done looking toward
II. Five or six weeks are usually required TO
complete the matter.
Said Rev. DR.. Parot "When the commit
tees and bishops have all reported to Bishop
Lee aud II Is found that the necessary ma
| jority In approval has been secured, he may
consult me- and probably will as TO the ap-
| pointment, but want 1t distinctly understood
that no appointment can be made until Bishop
Lee does speak. The date Jan. y has been
son to change 1t. The place of conservation
may be Epiphany church, but of course that
is not decided. We must wait i'll silence until

THE struggle for control of the National
Jockey club is really struggle between
racing and trottinc. The election of Off
GERS tonight will be conducted upon these
lines. Experience elsewhere has invaria.
bly, shown that racing and trotting cannot
be conducted successfully over tho same
track. A part of the membership of the
club is composed of gentlemen who ad-
mire the trotter and wish to carry on
their favorito sport rs well as racing
over tho Ivy City course. Tho racing
members do not believe this can be ad-
vantageously done. 1t is to DO regretted
that conflict has sprung up in the Jockey
club that threatens its existence. 1t has
given some admirably managed meetings,
and affords tho Washington public vast
deal ofenioyment. One thing that ought
to exercise controlling influencesupon
the action of tho members Tonight is the
>cortainty that the people of Washington
do notpatronize trotting and do patronize
racing to vastly remarkable degree.
This is significant fact that should not
bs lost sight of.
