Z'he Necessities of the National State
Made Known

The control of the affairs Of the District st
Columbia having been placed IN the hands OF
purely executive officers while Congress still re-
tains all legislative authority relating 10 it, gov
CTnmeut, il becomes my uuty to make known the
most pressing needs OF the District and recon-
mend their consideration, The laws OF the Dis
trict APPEAR 10 be in an uncertain and unsatts-
factory condition, and their codihcatiOn
or revision is much needed. During the
past year one Of the bridges leading from the
District TO the state Of Virginia became unfit for
use, and travel on II WAS forbidden This leads
me to suggest that the improvement of all bridg-
es crossing the Potomac and its branches from
the city OF Washington is worthy 0fthe attention
Of Congress The commissioners Of the District
represent that the laws regulating the sale OF
liquor and granting licenses therefor should
be at once amended. and that legisla-
tiGn is neeued to consolidate, define and
enlarge the scope and powers OF charita-
BILE and penal institutions within the
District / suggest that the commissioners be
clothed with the power TO make within fixed
limitations police regulations. | belleye this

seems that trouble still exists, growing out Of
the occupation of the streets and avenues by Ger

Ii is very important that such laws should be
enacted upon This subject az viii secure 70 the

THE APsCHEs
Statement of Their Capture, and the
Punishment Being i1flicted.

In September and October last the hostile
Apache, who. undeT the leadership of Geronimo
had for eighteen months been on the war path
and during that time committed many murders
and been the cause OF constant terrOrs to the
settlers of Arizona, surrendered TO Gen. Miles
the military commander who succeeded Gen
Crook in the management and direction Of their
pursuit. Under the terms Of their surrender. as
then reported, and in view Of an understanding
which the murdeTOus savage seemed to entertain
of the as ureuces given them, il was considered
best to Imprison them in such man
ner as TO prevent their ever engaging
in such Outrages again, instead of trying them for
murder, Fort Pickens having been selected Hs

Changes Proposed In The Plan OF Dsbt
Payment.

The Secretary of the Interior suggests change
in the plan for the payment Of the Indebtedness of
the Pacific subsidized roads to the government.
His suggestion has the unanimous endorsement
of the persons selected by the government
TO act directors Of those roads and protect the
interests of the United States in the board OF di
rection. In considering the plan proposed, the
sole matters which should be taken into
account, IN my opinion are the situation
of the government as a creditor, and the surest
way to secure the payment Of the principle aud
interest of its debt BY \ recent decision CT the
supreme court Of the United states it has been
adiudged that the laws of the several states are
imperative to regulate rates of transportation
upon railroads If such regulation lnterfergs
Tn the rate OF carriage from one state into
other This important field of control and relsu-
lation having been thus left entirely unoccup.ed,
the expediency of federal action up
on the subject is worthy of consideration.
