U. 8. District Attorney Hoge to-day commu-
nfcated to the Commissioners his views a. to
the status Of the railroad tracks occupying
streets in the District within express authority
of Congress. He gives List of the tracts COM
planned Of and the law governing same, to.
gether with his views, as follows:
"In my opinion, based mainly upon the decf-
sion Of the Supreme Court of the United States
in the case of Edmonds w. the Baltimore and
Potomac railroad company Ql4 q. 8. 45s), the
laying and maintaining Of any railroad track ir,
the streets of the city of Washington, even sid
ingsfrom the main line into adjacent squares
except by authority Of an express act Of the Con-.
gress, is unlawful. That the Congress is Of the
same opinion is evident from its lates acts on the
subject sec act Of August 81, 1885, IS Stats, 451
authorizing the Richmond and Danyille rail
road to enter squares 269, 299 and 3O0 and act
OF August Is, 1888, IS Stats, 439, authorizing
the Baltimore and Potomac company to lay a
side track into square 1925. II the right to lay
sidings were necessary incident to the right
to run the railroads through the city there had
been no occasion for this legislation.
whether the lands over which some Of the,
tracks above described be designated as ''pub-
lie reservations" or 'open spaces" seems to be
immaterial in view Of section 222, r. 8. u. g.,
relating to the District of Columbia, which
provides that mo open spaces, public reser-
vations, or other public ground in the city Of
Washington, or any portion Of the public
streets or avenues in said city, shall be occu..
pied BY any private person or for any private
purpose whatever. So far az the tracks
complained OF are expressly authorized
by the Commissioners Of the District of
Columbia those officers would appear to
be responsible to the law for the consequence
of their presence both in the streets and on the
"oopen spaces or 'public reservations;
while as to those, if any, which have
been laid without such express permission
the liability of the Commissioners
seems to attach to the presence of tho
tracks in the streets and avenues, inasmuch az
the Commissioners as successors to the board
OF public works, are charged with the ''entire
control OF the streets, avenues, alleys and
sewers OF the city, (Sec. n 3. =. U. s. for d.
Entertaining these views propose at an
early day to institute such proceedings as the
law may sanction for the abatement OF the null
sance OF these unlawful tracks. Comfy die
tates Especially in view of the change in the
personnel of the board OF Commissioners since
the date of the correspondence between this
office and the Commissioners on the sIbiect)
that should inform you of my views and in
tentions to the end that, should you be so adj
vised, you may take steps to relieve the COM
missioners from responsibility in the prem
ises."

Our Disgraceful sidewalks.

10 tDc Euitof Oh LIE EVENING SfAR:
Your editorials in reference to the condition
Of the sidewalks Of this city have been both
timely and just. They forcibly remind me Of q
conversation had with New York friend Of
mine some two years ago. He was making his
first visit to the city, and like all other visitors,
was enthusiastic in his admiration of the gen.
eral beauties Of the metropolis. He was par
ticulsrly profuse in his praise Of the beautifully
paved streets, and said he had seen nothing
equal to them outside Of the city of Paris,
But" said he '.yo1 seem TO have done every
thing for the comfort and convenience of the
horse. but very little for naap, for your side
walks are In a most wretched condition and
would be q Disgrace TO one of the interior
towns of my state. We
could not but admit the justice Of the criti-
cism but gave him the assurance that this
ugly stain upon the beauty of our fair capitol
would not be allowed to remain much longer
II has remained, and from all can learn there
is no better prospect now of its removal than
there was when l gave the assurance to my
friend two years ago. Surely somebody must
be responsible for this gross neglect Of duty.

day, Policeman Kendig read from paper the
number Of persons he saw pass through the
defendants back gate last Sunday, but he could
not say that they got into the defendants 81

to the testimony, because it did not prove that
they entered the defendants saloon.
'No; it's only squirting at it," said the Judge.

counsel.
The court heard the testimony of other Wit

SENSATIONAL KIDNAPPING.
A Young Girl Dragged from Her School
room by Her Mother.

CHICAGO, June 27.-The Hayes public school
was the scene of a sensational kidnapping yes
terday afternoon. Hattie, the twelve-year old
daughter Of John and Celia Thatcher, was stolen
by her own mother
The Thatchers were married in Chicago tlair-
teen years ago. Three years after the mar
riage Mr.. Thatcher gained q suit for divorce,
the court awarded him the custody of the child
Hattie, then two years Of age. Mr.. Thatcher
gave the little girl into her grandmother's
care. At the close of the public school term,
many efforts 10 obtain possession Of the child,
endeavOred to abduct her from the school
yard. The attempt was unsuccessful as the
child was afraid Of her mother, and
REFUSED TO 60 WITH HER.
Yesterday afternoon shortly before school
closed carriage, closely curtained, was
driven up to the Hayes school and woman
alghted. She entered the school building
and went directly to room g. The tea
cher responded to her knock and the woman
said she was Mrs. Thatcher and asked to see
her daughter Hattie, but the girl refused to 60
to the door. Mrs. Thatcher then apparently
went away. About five minutes later the
door opened and Mrs. Thatcher dashed into
the room. She seized the little girl around the
waist and started for the door. Miss Harmon
interrupted her at the door and
MADE DETERMINED RESISTANCE
Mrs. Thatcher was much larger and more
powerful than the teacher and succeeded in
getting the door partially open. Then Miss
Bannon called for the pupils TO assist her and
they came in body. Just at this moment a
young man wearing heavy mOustache entered
the room, and throwing Miss Harmon and the
children to ona side, took the struggling
child from its mothers arms and
rushed1down the stairway, followed by the
mother The man choked the child SO she could
not scream. The cabman stood with the door
Of the vehicle open and then entered hur-
riedly. Then Mrs. Thatcher applied handker-
chief TO the little girls face, and she lay per-
fectly quiet and the cabman turner about and
drove rapidly away. The police were notified
and are at work on the case. The child's father
and grandmother are much diitressed.

Charged With Obstructing an Alley.
In the Criminal Court, Judge Bradley, To-
day, the case Of Elizabeth B. Thompson,
charged with obstructing an alleyway in the
square bounded by e. F, 10th and 18th streets,
was called, Mr.. H. e. Davis for the District,
and Mr.. Mills Dean for the defendant. It is
alleged that the defsndant's building "a stable)
encroaches distance of ~ feet (by "a feet) on
an alley condemned in 1642. The defendant
claims under deeds dating back to 1916, and
that until recently, notwithstanding the
condemnation, this land had been assessed and
taxed. The point was also made that the P0-
lice Court had no Jurisdiction in the case. The
court having intimated that the law did not
apply to the case where the building had been
erected it was agreed that the case, or an
agreed statement Of facts, be certified TO the
Court in General Term.

CHINESE IN TRANSIT.
Not Allowed to Pass Through This
Country.

Some time ago the Treasury department was
informed that IL was desired 10 take number
Of Chinese laborers to the West Indies
and application was made for permis-
sion to take them through United
States territory in transit, provided bond was
given that none Of them would remain in this
country. Tho matter was referred 10 the So
lcitor Of the treasury and he gave an opinion
that there was nothing in the Law 10
prohibit the landing Of Chinese for the mere
purpose Of passing through the country. secre-
tary Window, however, was not prepared
TO change existing regulations 10 this
extent, and directed . rejection Of the
application until the question could
be considered more thoroughly No
further action on the subject is at all likely,
however, and il 10 understood that arrange
ments have been since made with Canadian
transportation companies by which Chinese
viii be taken across the continent without the
necessity Of entering United States territory.
