NEW NAVAL OBSERVATORY.
sharp Discussion I'm the House.
CLAUSE IN THE NAVAL BILL AGREED TO
APPRoPRIATING $4,000 TO START THE
BUILDINGS.

BUILDINGS.
A fight occurred in the House to-day over the
item in the naval bill, which makes appropria-
ton for the erection of the observatory build.
ing at Washington, for which q site has been
purchased.
Mr.. Warner, Of Ohio, said that It was his
understanding that it was the intention to con-
struct villas for the officers in CHI arge Of the
observatory. The clause was so framed.
he thought, as not to limit the expenditures to
the construction of the observatory buildings.
but SO as to admit of the building of fine coun.
try houses to be occupied by the officers. He
offered an amendment limiting the cost to
100000 and providing that no money should
be expended except on the observatory building
proper.
Mr.: Adams, of Illinois, tried to make point
OF order, but was too late.
Mr.. Buck asked Mr.. Warner where he got his
information about the villas.
He replied that there had been considerable
talk about the matter in the newspapers, and
he had himself seen the plans.
MIR. Breckenridge said he thought the clause
should be stricken out and the matter not acted
upon until plans were adopted.
Mr.. Warner withdrew his amendment and
submitted another which made no limit as to
ultimate cost OF buildings, but described their
character. Mr. Blanchard then showed that
the plans had already been adopted. This
amendment was agreed to by vote Of "a to 6.
as amended. This motion was lost by vote OF
q to Ia, and the clause was allowed to stand.
The clause appropriates $4,000 to start the
buildings with.

PROVISIONS OF THE BILL TO AMEND THE
CHARTER OF THE COMPANY AS IT FINALLY
PASSED THAT BODY
The Senate yesterday afternoon passed the
bill to amend the charter iof the Metropolitan
street railroad company.
Mr.. Riddleberger pitched into the bill, say
ing that a horse railroad could get anything
from Congress, but when it was proposed to
benefit the city with cable system, that was
denied. He declared that it was not the people
OF the District of Columbia whose wishes were
consulted by Congress, but few corporations
OF Washington and Georgetown.
MIR. Van Wyck criticised the manner in
which street railroads are run here and spoke
OF the lack of accommodations on the Metro
pOlitan line. He also declared that the rails
along Connecticut avenue prOtrude above the
pavement so as to make it dangerous for a
vehicle to cross the tracks. He thought some
thing more should be done than was pro-
Mr.. ingalls, explained that the bill merely
proposed to improve the present facilities OF the
road.
Mr. Van Wyck thought the company should
be required to furnish better accommO dations
lie offered an amendment authorizing the
commissioners to regulate the rate of speed
the motive power, the repair OF streets, and the
substitution of new routes when that might be
deemed necessary.
missioners authority to regulate rate OF speed,
bat ne said Congress had control of the motive
power, and should it be delegated to the Com
missioners they might compel the road to tear
up It's plant at any time. He thought it too
much power to confer upon the Commissioners.
The amendment as adopted was modified to
authorize the Commissioners to regulate the
Fate OF speed, the running of cars the inter-
walls between trips and the repairs of streets.
THE BILL AS PASSED.
The bill authorizes the company to extend
its line east to Lincoln park and thence down
18th street to Virginia avenue; to extend its
lt,,,. ~, al n
thence nOrtheriy along Water to NJ, eastward
along NJ until 1t shall intercept the present
tracks on A. street; also requires that at least
every fourth car shall run through to boundary,
aud that such cars as do not 20 to Boundary
shall run through to the end of the line in
Georgetown. The bill also confers the power
upon the Commissioners given in the Van
Wyck amendment, to regulate speed, number
OF trips and repairs. and requires the removal
OF the old tracks on 18th street and repair of
the pavement at the expense OF the com pany.
The bill, by requiring cars to run through, pro-
hibits the change now made at the Rock creek
stables. 1t also provides that where the tracks
coincide with those of another company, ex.
cept with those of the w. & G.. company on
Water and NJ streets, both companies shall use
the same tracks.

AN ENTERTAINING FUND NEEDED.-When
Prince Augusta Leopoldo visited Mount ver-
non a few days ago a substantial lunch was
served on board the tug Rescue at the personal
expense OF Secretary Whitney. Since he has
been at the head of the Navy department Secre-
tary hitney has carefully made distinction
between public and private expenses He has
never permitted the Despatch to go on any
strictly public purposes and where any ex-
penses OF a private nature have been necessary
the money to meet them has come from the
Secretarys pocket. 1t is foolish to imagine
therefore, that the President will take sum-
mer trip on any of the government vessels for
he fully approves the stand taken by the Sec
rotary of the Navy. 1t is a source of mOrtifica-
ton, however, to both the navy and the army
that some provision is not made by the gov
eminent for the proper entertainment of official
visitors from foreign countries.

TREASURER JORDAN.
WHAT HE SAYS OF IRRATIONAL
BANKING SYSTEM.

WASHINGTON, September, 25.-Treasurer Jordan
referring Yesterday to the alleged threat of several
national banks to withdraw from the national
banking system, said: "You can rest assured that
no bank will carry out that threat
First because the situation for them is not at all
stringent, and they are in no danger of being
driven to the wall, or even cramped by these bond
calls.
Secondly because there are no state laws under
which these banks can organize prOitably.
If any of the states had laws under which these
banks could issue currency, there might be some
temptation to them to 90 out of the system, al
though doubt if their circulation would be &C
ceptsd generally. Then | am inclined to believe
that these banks would not, for a good deal lose
their status as national banks, for the reason that
much of their business would 90.
This would he especially case with small deposi-
tors whose suspicious would be fully aroused and
to whom the word Irrational in the banks title
has always been great protection for their small
Investments.
Again, mOneynOw commands > and per cent +,
and the banks cannot afford 70 retire their cirCula
ton when it is available HIS that there was never
time when the banks were making as much.
Months ago there might be some sense in these
reports, but it's to talk of it now. 1t is
rumored at the treasury department that the forced
substitution of other bonds for call, per cents
would be pushed very rapidly, and that plenty of
time would he given the banks to make the change.
Called bonds deposited by banks will be the last
taken mp for liquidation, and no bank be crippled
by these calls.
