THE GRENADIER GUARDS HAPPY
The Exiles whoop With Delight Upon
Reaching Bermuda.

The exiled Grenadier Guards arrived from
England at Bermuda August g. New York
World correspondent, describing the reception
of the guards upon their arrival at Bermuda,
says:
The scene was strange one and was for all
the world like a country fair. where the side
show fakirs were talking the fur OF their
tongues booming their own shows So quickly,
so smoothly did they all work that inside Of an
hour nearly all the Grenadiers were under
and the runners sailed back happy and con.
tented.
Tommy Atkins. too, was happy and con-
tented lie gazed off over the water toward
Bermuda He saw the beautiful scenery in the
background, the new barracks in the fore
ground, the bright blue sky and aeecy clouds
overhead. the rolling water below; he felt the
cool breeze and wondered il exile under these
circumstances was not better than soldering in
hot. foggy London. And Tommy Atkins
smiled right along with nature.
The battalion is somewhat below its regular
strength. There arrived today $50 officers,
non-commissioned officers rank and file. With
the battalion came eighteen women and thirty
children. The men are very much attached to
their present commanding officer Col the
Hon. n. Eaton, and are perfectly content 20
remain IN exile under him and his officers
The World correspondent talked with num-
Der OF the guards and some of the officers on
board the lamar. They all enjoyed the trip
out, and one old-time guard remarked that il
was alone worth a double-barreled mutiny
such as theirs had been
One old guard who has seen service MANY
times was asked about the mutiny in London.
TO tell the truth" he said, 1--WE were worn
out; completely dead beg and exhausted We
know. and we wasn't able 10 do the duty as was
expected Of us. Then one fine day, as probably
you have heard OF. we gets an order 20 turn
ont on parade Now, il was a great unneces-
sary parade and we wasn't able to do it, we was
all that dead beat out. and we wouldn't 60 out
and there's Yer mutiny. We was put down az
mutineers and sent of on foreign service"
"Our action in Melhnton Barracks was justi-
fable" said another, and we hopes it will
make things easier for the others As are left
BEND us In Lon'on and who is in sympathy
with us. IL our old Col. Trotter had been in
command there wouldn't ha' been any trouble.
III our present colonel. instead OF old Hog"
Maitland, had been commanding we'd ha' still
been in Lon'on."
How does London duty compare with the
duty you expect TO do here?"
''0riul, oriul! Here we expect to do regular
duty, but the countrys fine and we can stand
It, In Lonon it was simply orful. We had
guard and picket duty, and we only gets two
nights in bed a week, and the weather 10
'orrible."
The women and children who accompany the
battalion are simply wild with delight over the
change and anticipate the two happiest years
OF their lives here In Bermuda.

THE EIGHT-sTORY POST OFFICE
Mr.. Cannon Explains the Matter to
the House Today.

In the debate on the sundry civil conference
report today Mr. Cannon made Considerable of
speech on the city post Office. Mr.. Cannon
said that the committee had reported for q
building of eight stories, as the addi-
tions could be made at cost
OF 100000 q story and the additional room
could be made OF the very greatest use. The
hrst story being given up to the uses of the
city post office the other seven stories would
| accommodate over l. 500 clerks beside affordng
large amount of room for the storage of pa
pers, DC. The building at,the price OF IL .9OO-
900 would be a substantial structure with the
| architectural effect necessary 70 make moro
thar creditable building.
Mr.. Rogers asked il il would not be benef
and add to the beauty of the building to add
two or three stories to the general post Office
building. Mr.. Cannon said that if the founda-
tion was strong enough he would favor the adj
dition of even four stories to this building
MIR. MillIken said that the matter of the
foundation OF the general post Office had been
considered by the committee on public
buildings and grounds and it was
learned from the officials that
| this foundation was one of the strongest in the
city and amply sufficient to bear up even four
additional stories

GUARDING RAILROAD CROSSINGS
The Commissioners Empowered to Re-
Quire the Erection Of Gates.

The many complaints received by the Com
missioners against unguarded crossings were
recently referred to the attorney for
the District with the request that
he report as to the Commissioners power to
compel a railroad company to erect gates and
to require watchmen to be stationed at such
crossings
TO settle the question the case of the cross
ing at 9th and streets northeast was selected
test case.
Mr.. Thomas says:
''As to the question whether you have the
power to order Il gate erected at this crossing
and to require the company to station
a Waterman there, Congress has delegated
the care and management of the streets and
avenues of this city to your keeping, but
with no specific authority to make
regulations requiring the several steam
railroads to erect gates and station watchmen
AT their street crossings. By virtue of the
police power, however, you have authority to
make all such reasonable regulations as to
gates at railway crossings as may be necessary
for the protection of citizens and their prop
erty. Ii, therefore, in your judgment the cross
ing in question is dangerous to life and limb
then in the exercise OF the police power OF the
corporation you may pass an order requiring
the company to erect gates aud station watch
man ON the crossing"

ALMOST A DISASTER.
A Steamer Fast on n Rock In the st.
Lawrence Rapids.

MONTREAL, QUE, August 11.-As the steamer
Bohemia, carrying nearly 1000 Grand Army
men and their families, en- route to Boston, en-
tered the Cedar Rapids, about forty miles from
Montreal, Saturday great crowd of excursion
lists thronged on the hurricane deck to get a
good view of the novel experience of running
through the rapids. The deck of the
steamer was, however, too weak to stand the
strain of the great crowd, and portion of it
giving away about 100 Of the excursionsts
came crashing down on the deck below, and SO
great was the confusion that the men at the
wheel seemed to have lost their heads, for the
next instant after the crash all control of the
boat was lost, and swinging out of the regular
channel it struck q rock and remained
hard and far. on it. A panic immedi-
asely ensued I'll board. rush was made
for the ife-preseryers, women tainted, clothes
were torn and all on board wero more or less
cut and bruised. Finally order was restored
and boat sent ashore and word Of the accident
teIegraphed to Montreal. Another boat was
sent to the scene. but the terror-stricken excur-
sionist refused to go on her and demanded they
be brought to Montreal, which was done, and
the excursionists reached here early yesterday
morning.

THE ATKINSON BILL.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Has An.
other Day.

THE MOTION TO TABLE TIE MOTION 10 RECON
srDER LosT-A PROTEST AGAINST orvrSo ALI
THE DISTRICTS TIME TO THE RArLRoAp-rH,
MATTER TAKEN Up LATE TODAY.
By the rules of the House today was 4
be given up to the consideration of Distrie
affairs, and as usual the Pennsylvania railroad
bill came first in the bills to be considered
The question of a quorum was of importance
however. Up to the hour Of meeting 4
| did not look as If 1t would be possible tc
obtain quorum. The big Pennsylvania rail
road lobby, however. was on hand as usual, ant
its members were buzzing around as il il wal
a matter OF life and death that every membe,
on the floor should be seen.
When the House met at II o'clock there were
| good many members present and the pros
poets of a quorum seemed brighter.
Mr.. Rogers occupied considerable time afte,
the journal had been read in an attempt to cor
rect that interesting record. During the
roll call on this question some
point to the District having trouble in getting
its day even if quorum should be found. Mr..
Cannon appeared with a firm look and bis
appropriation bill, and il looked as If he in
tended to contest with the District committee
the honor Of occupying the attention OF ths
House.
Mr.. CANNON GETS THE FLOOR.
!. The vote on the approval of the journal dis
closed the presence of quorum, but this fsc
did not help the District much, as Mr.. Cannon
Immediately gained the floor and called up the
conference report on the sundry civil appropri
alton bill, which is q privileged report. After
little discussion it was decided that one hour
should be given up for debate on this report
and with that understanding District business
was laid aside.
THE ATKINSON BILL CALLED Up.
1t was 2:2O when the report on the sundry
civil bill was passed, and Mr.. Atkinson OBJ
tanned the floor for District bills.
The pending motion, he SAID, was to lay on
the table the motion to reconsider the vote by
which the Atkinson bill was sent back to the
committee.
Mr.. Milliken made the point of consideration
saying 1t was about time the District OF
