District Government Affairs.

THE REAL ESTATE AGENTS LICENSES AND
BONDS.
Some Of the real estate agents, of this Dis
trict, who have been doing business several
years without paying the license tax required
by law, have written to the Commissioners since
they find them determined to enforce the law,
to the effect that they are willing to pay the
license Of $50 annually, but are not willing to
give the bonds required by the same act. The
Commissioners state that they have no discre-
not, they say, propose to recognize the compli-
ance with a portion of the law and not all of it,
The test case now languishing before the courts
of this District for trial will not influence the
Commissioners at all in the performance of
their duties. Each years license stands sepa-
be had in every case Of default of license and
the bond required. The trouble seems to be,
said Commissioner to-day, that each agent
wants to be the interpreter of the law himself.
THE LOCK BROKEN BY FIREMAN KANE.
Fireman Kane, who was one of the District
fremen who did duty at the new Pension build
Ing during the preparations for the inaugural
the building. The supervising architect report
ed the case to the Secretary of the Interior with
bill charging Fireman Kane with $1.7O, the
cost of the lock, and requested that it be sent to
the District Commissioners for collection, using
what the Commissioners deem to be very dis
missioners have replied to the Secretary, stating
that they see no reason to charge the cost of the
lock to the fireman, much less any reason for
discOurteous language; that the chief engineer
of the fire department thinks Kane did his duty
we'll, and, Notwithstanding the accident, that
comments, and that if the lock is to be paid for
the bill should be presented to those who con-
trolled the building and enjoyed its use as well
as the voluntary services of the firemen.

THE PRESIDENT AND SENATOR HARRIS
It is learned on good authority that the inter
view between Senator Harris ana the President
yesterday consisted of an expression of surprise
by the former on behalf of the Tennessee dele
cation at the selection of Governor Porter for
First Assistant Secretary of State, and an inter
rogatory as to whether the President intended
to ignore the Tennessee delegation in making
appointments. TO the above the President re-
piled that he had no such intention but that
the appointment of Governor Porter was q per
sonal matter with Secretary Bayard, who is his
Intimate friend. .,ns and tnat s on account Of the
position with the Secretary of State, he consid-
cred the recommendation of Secretary Bayard
Harris that in making any general appOint-
ments from his state the delegation would be
consulted.

authority that the President wants the session

Presidents wis hes, as the proposal to adjourn
tomorrow was based upon the assumption that
he would not care to detain the Senate longer

week. The President will probably get his

A MEMBER OF THE CANADIAN PARLIAMENT
DEMANDS SIRYEY.


DEMANDS A SURVEY.
OTTAWA, ONT, March 24.-In the house of
commons to-day Mr.. Gordon moved for copies
of all the correspondence having reference 10
the appointment of Joint commission with
the United States government fdr the surveying
of the boundary line between British Columbia
and the United States Territory Of Alaska. He
stated that to-day the boundary was practically
underlined. So long as there were no troubles
there this was all right; but a New York paper
had stated recently that an American armed
expedition under Lieut. Schwatha had Travelled
a thousand miles into British territory east Of
Alaska, and Lieut.. Allen was now conducting
an expedition 300 or 400 miles into British ter
ritory. He could hardly believe these state
ments were true, seeing that on the Pacific coast
the Canadians and Americans lived very har-
moniously. He would like To hear from the
government on this point, and he would be
pleased if an assurance could be given that the
boundary line would shortly be surveyed.
Sir Hector Langevin minister of public works,
said the attention of the government had been
directed to the article in the New York paper.
He had inquired into the truthfulness Of the
article and had found there was no foundation
for il. The importance OF having the boundary
line surveyed had received the attention of tho
government, and il would not overlook Tie
matter. The motion was carried.

the attention of the President as pOintedly as I
could the fact that Indiana had not received so
far as had been developed, as much considera-
tion as the state was justly entitled to. said
to him pleasantly that as Indiana had no repre-
sentative in his cabinet we would have to look
to him to be our representative in it, and the
President assured me that in the end we should
have no cause of complaint"
