Inc law prohibiting overhead wires reads a. fol-
lows: THE Commissioners OF the District OF
Soiumoia SHAH not, after the 18th day OF Septem-
eVr 1855, permit or authorize any additional tele-
slaph' telephone, electric-light other wires to
oe erected or maintained on or over any OF the
streets OF avenues OF the city Of Washington ),
several questions have been raised In respect to
she proper construction OF this law Does the
pronioition respecting the streets OF washington
Apply 70 the st,eets OF Georgetown, popularity
Known as West Washington IL Is stated that
congress Intended t 10 thus apply. but unless this
ntention Is Indicated In other parts OF the appro-
prauon act, or In some other way than through
INDIVIDUAL expressions OF opinion-by Congress-
men, this point will not avail and the only ques-
taon 10 be determined is whether Washington
legally includes the streets on the other side OF
kock Creek as West Washington, or excludes them
a Georgetown 1t IL also questioned whether,
under the law, overhead wires authorized by the
commissioners before the 18th may not be actually
erected after that date. An intention 70 allow
This course Is credited 70 part OF legislators,
out this Interpretation OF the law has not leg to
stand on. The Commissioners shall not after the
18th permit or authorize any additional wires 70
De erected" In other words, they shall neither
passively suffer nor actively approve such an
erection after the date named The intention Of
individual congressman In the matter Is OF course
Irrelevant There Is no ambiguity In the words
employed. Congress Is not presumed TO rob the
word permit OF its ordinary meaning, and to be
guilty OF tautology, by using the two words per-
NIT and authorize TO convey preciselythe same idea.
The last question is whether the additional wires
erected before The 18th with the approval of the
Commissioners can be permitted by these officials
TO be maintained after that date. The law says
that the Commissioners shall not after the date
named authorize or permit any additional wires
"to be erected or maintained" Some way will
perhaps be devised TO eonstrue these words which
VIII not require the taking down OF wires erected
before the 18th, since with the opposite construc-
ton the law would become subject TO the charge
OF aosurdity. IL would fix future date for an
immediate prohibition 70 go into effect, for nobody
would erect wires before the 18th II he saw that
he would be required to take them down immedi-
ateiy after that date. Efforts are being made TO
modify the law In the interest OF the overhead
wires such applications viii give Congress the
opportunity 10 state clearly what streets OF the
District the prohibition is intended to cover, and
TO clear up any other portions OF the law. concern
Ing the meaning Of which any serious question
exists.

To show how wildly wide OF the mark some CAM

found than the paragraph which has been doing
service in certain temperance papers OF late repre-
senting Mr.. Harrison as declining TO drink toast

throusn several generations without shoes would

may be remarked, as a contribution to the snh-

ALONG THE SANTA re.
Tcn Thousand Men Become Icle on Ten
Minu 80 Notice.


ToPEKA, Kas., Narch f6.-A strike of the
engineers and frcmen of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad was inaugursted
yesterday afternoon 81 4 o'clock. Notice
that the men were going out was given
only ten minutes before, by dispatch from
T. Conroe. chairman OF the Grievance Com
mittee, TO General Manager J. F. Goddard.
at this place. Promptly al the hour
named all engines were abandoned,
and traffic on the entire system
Is suspended. This action of the Brother
hood is startling surprise 70 the company,
who claim TO have treated the organization
with great fairness and liberalitY. and who
knew OF no grievance of the men. But a
short time ago the men made demands for
the rate of wages the Burlington employees
are nov striking for, and these were con-
ceded. In consideration of this concession
the men agreed that they would Lot cease 10
perform their duties TO the company with
out giving thirty days notice. On March 8
and the men notified the Company that
after Sunday. March 10, they would handle
no Burlington freight. There was no notice
OF strike, and representatives of the
Brotherhood disclaimed any purpose tC
injure the property of the Santa Fe COM
pany, against which they acknowledged
they had no grievance. The company re-
piled that they would not act In violation
of the law as it was understood, but that
the matter would be laid before the Board
of Directors, rssding whose action. 1t was
presumed, there would DE no strike. The
company claims that il has neither violated
the law nor compelled any employees to
handle Burlington freight against their
will.
BY the Santa Fe strike 3. 200 miles of rail-
road are tied up. about 500 engineers and
firemen are directly involved and nearly
10000 employees are directly or indirectly
affected. A stretch OF territory from st.
Paul on the north and III Paso on the south
IS now involved in the struggle which be-
gan with the Burlington strike.
