THE SUBDIVISION LAW.
Capt. Symons Says Plats Made Before
its Passage Are Not Affected by it.

Referring to the controversy about subdi-
visions, Capt. Symons said to STAR reporter
to-day that he desired to correct any impression
that might have been made that his recent ac-
ton or the action of the Commissioners or the
opinion of Attorney Riddle had anything what
ever to do with subdivisions made and plated
and recorded before the law of last August re-
quiring all future subdivisions to be made in
conformity with the plan of the city of WASH
ington went into effect.
at is not intended in any manner" said
Capt. Symons, "to disturb these old subdi-
visions until Congress makes specific laws to
that effect. The case at issue is one in which a
subdivision was made. surveyed and plated
since the law of last August went into effect The
subdivision is not in conformity with the plan
of the city; it is not even in conformity with
the plan Of the adjoining subdivision of
Brooklands. 1t is laid out with narrow
of the compass and is in all respects Just such a
subdivision as the law of last August was in
tended to prevent. Subdivisions of this char
acter have already done great mischief to the
District. and if allowed to continue would do
incalculable damage by preventing the extern
sion OF the city upon any proper plan.
Capt Symons says he has not to his knowl-
edge been severely criticised" as has been
stated, except by the parties interested in the
West Brookland subdivision, and he don't ex-
pect unfavorable criticism from any Others GER
tainly not from real estate dealers who were
instrumental in having the law of August "a
passed, know its value, and desire its enforce
ment for the general benefit of the District.

DELEGATES FROM DAKOTA.
II the Question Of Statehood Is Not
Settled They Want an Extra Session.

Judge Moody, one Of Dakota's Senators-elect,
has just arrived in this city, after having stop
ped over in Indianapolis to consult with Gen.
Harrison on matters Of interest to those terri
tories which are now seeking admission as
states. Alr. Moody is extremely cautious in his
expressions just now, because he fears that his
words may be quoted as coming from Gen.
Harrison. He says, however, that the chances
are all in favor of an extra session of the Fifty
first Congress.
''The leaders Of the democrats in the House,"
said he to STAR reporter to-day" are too far
apart on this subject; they cannot agree. II
they could come to an understanding as TO Da-
kotas fitness for statehood there would be a
renewal Of the old trouble on the question of
division. OF course il is possible that this Con-
gress may do something for us, but it seems to
me to be rather improbable just now"
There will be delegation Of Dakotans in
town during the latter portion Of this week.
Fifteen or twenty Of the more prominent
citizens of the territory are now on their way
here to do all in their power to push legisla-
ton looking to the speedy admission of the
territory as two states. The delegation will be
headed by Judge Bartlett Trip, chief justice
OF the supreme court of Dakota, and Gov.-elect
Mellette. The two great political parties are
about equally represented in the delegation.
1t it becomes apparent that nothing will be
done by the House before the Sd Of March,
then the delegation will endeavor to secure
from republicans who will be in the next House
a memorial to President Harrison asking him
to call an extra session.

DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS.
Citizens Before the Senate Committee
To-day.

The room Of the Senate committee on appro-
priations was tenanted for some time to-day by
residents of the District who were anxious to
secure favorable action by the committee on
items in the District appropriation bill in
which they are interested. Commissioners Webb
and wheatley were present, ready to answer
questions. Messrs. John Joy Edison and A. 8.
Pratt asked for an appropriation of S25, 900 for
the National homeopathic hospital The board
Of managers Of the hospital think the useful
ness Of the institution is much impaired by the
lack Of sufficient and suitable buildings. They
want to build wards for male and female COL
ored patients, a maternity ward, and new
kitchen. An elevator is also a necessity, and
the erection of fre-escapes is required by law.
To do these things, and to effect other improve
ments, the sum of $25, 900 is needed, and the
request of the managers for an appropriation
OF that sum is Endorsed by Secretary Bayard,
who is president Of the society. Messrs. Albert
Behrend and Morris Clark pleaded for an inn
mediate extension of 18th and 18th streets.
Messrs. Simon Wolf, John l.. Vogt, Anton
Eberly, and DR.. Walter asked for $40, 900 with
which to replace, by brick structure, the
frame building now occupied by the German
American orphan asylum. Ex-Commissioner
Edmonds was also present, and he chatted for
a while with Senators Plumb and Hale
