for any such uncertain period of the year as
far as weather is concerned. But a race of the
kind named can take place next year, and II
this was arranged know of no pedestrian event
that would cause more public interest than 1t
would Mark, 1 do not mean that the runners
should place themselves under a manage
ment:" that is to allow q person to take all the
gate receipts and allow the winner q
small percentage. 1 mean real
honest. old-time sweepstakes where the hackers
of the men receive all the receipts and divide
them, or let the winner take all. Most GER
tainly there will be plenty of speculative indi-
yiduals ready to offer some kind of purse in
addition to the stakes of q race like the one in
question, but were a runner / would have
none of it. If myself and hacker could not
look after my own gate would not desire any
thing at all Well now q really good race can
be arranged on the plans laid down by Farrell
OF course 1t is much too soon TO fix the matter
definitely but what mean is that the runners
interested can make up their minds to get
ready for a race next spring or summer Pitts
burg, think would at least have two entries.
viz, Peter Priddy and Nikirk. / cannot dis
pense with this matter without drawing atten-
tion to a fact regarding foot runners. 1t seems
to me that they never talk about running until
the very worst season for such business is here
Just as sure as summer disappears we hear OF
challenges being made and forfeits put up all
round. Why can't all this be done when the
weather is somewhat safe? Pedestrians VINO
are continually talking about running IN Wln-
ter have very few listeners, indeed. 1t may De
well then to remember that while Farrells sug.
gestion cannot be carried out now 1t Will pc all
right next May or June.

A Foot Racing Suggestion.

During the week Stephen Farrell, the pedes-
trian, has made a suggestian for foot race
that would be nationally interesting we're it to
take place. Farrell suggests that Prddy, Dar-
rin Myers himself and others each go into a
half mile sweepstake race Of 500 or $500 each.
the winner TO take all This is the substance
of tile suggestion, and it is not bad one.
There are, however, circumstances which tend
TO make the suggestion very inopportune to
say the least of it, If there was no other obJec-
tion to It than the unseasonabeness OF the year
that Is enough to kill il. This is no time of
wear TO talk about running foot races of In
fernatlonal import Supposing nye or SIX con-
testants would agree now to run Tor sweep
stakes OF 81. 900 or 81 600 the race could GER
fainly not take place before November, an6 II
would be exceedingly foolish to arrange a race

WILL NOT GO TO RICHMOND.
Why Secretary Tracy Would Not Allow
the Marine Band TO Leave Here May -.

Secretary Tracy has decided no, 10 allow
the Marine Band to accompany the Maryland
Society Of the Army and Navy Of the Confed-
crate States to Richmond on the 2sth Of May
on the occasion Of the unwilling Of the Lee
monument
Tins was done simply as matter Of precau-
tion' the Secretary disclaiming any idea Of sec
honal prejudice or discrimination, the ground
OF his refusal being that as the band IL obliged
70 perform here on the SOth Of May in connec-
uon WITH the decoration day ceremonies
would be dangerous to
send II down 20 Richmond the day before and
depend upon the uncertainties Of an over
crowded railroad to get il back in time. II
the band went IL would have 10 play at con-
cert on the evening of the a9th,
ana the chances would be very much
against the bands being able to return in sea-
son When the committee of the society waited
on the Secretary the other day he presented
these objections and said that he did not think
that he could comply with their request. They
onered TO change the date of the concert 20
May Is, but this did not induce the Secretary
70 change his mind Tie society will take the
Annapolis band.

BRIDGE TO ARLINGTON.
Col. Hams Report Sent to the Senate
by Secretary Proctor.

The Senate on February 20, 1890, passed a
resolution calling upon the Secretary of War
to examine and report what would be
the most suitable kind of a bridge
to be constructed at a point at or near the foot
of New York avenue across the Potomac
river to point on the United States cemetery
grounds with estimates. &c.
Secretary Proctor today transmitted to the
Senate the report OF Lieut.. Col. Hams. to
whom the matter has been referred
COL Hams refers to the great necessity for
such structure. Any bridge, he says, which
does not give clearance under
it of $50 feet would be more or less of an OBJ
struction. Such a bridge, however, would
prove too expensive aud the grades would be
too steep.
On the other hand a draw bridge would be
not at all acceptable at this point to the COM
mercial interests, besides being troublesome
affair to passengers.
New York ave. extended / 1.-THE point he
thinks to start the bridge providing no extra
ordinary engineering difficulties are to be met
with
Both approaches will be on government land
and no land damages will increase the cost
or cause litigation. As compromise between
the 150-foot clear bridge and draw
bridge he proposes suspension bridge.
for which he transmits plans 105 feet above
the water, which would allow almost any ves-
sci to pass under by lowering her top masts
The plans show extreme width for the
structure of "a feet, with roadway for vehicles
"a feet wide and two sidewalks s feet each. The
estimated cost is So, 59l 600.

ARMY REORGANIZATION.
Various Bills Acted Upon by the House
Military Committee.

The House committee on military affairs TO-
day directed favorable report on the Wheeler
bill to define the line OF the army and increase
Its efficiency, with certain amendments. The
bill provides that the line Of the army shall
consist Of twenty Eve regiments
OF infantry, ten Of cavalry,
seven Of artillery, one of engineers and the Of
Ulcers OF the corps of engineers detailed for
duty with that regiment Regiments are TO
consist Of three battalions and twelve CON-
panies. The President 10 authorized
to consolidate the enlisted men as
signed TO regiment into such numbers
OF companies as can be fully Offered by the
number of officers usually on duty.
The Cutcheon bill requiring promotions be-
low the grade OF brigadier general to be made
according to seniority was included as an
amendment to the bill
The committee also ordered favorable re-
port on the Cutcheon bill providing for the
transfer OF the weather bureau to the Depart
ment of Agriculture and agreed to report q
substitute for the Cummings bill to fix the
status OF contract surgeons IN the army

DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS.
The Bill Taken Up in the Senate Thu
Afternoon.

At the conclusion OF Mr.. Mitcheil's speech in
the Senate this afternoon the concurrent reso-
luton in reference to election Of Senators by
the people wss referred to the committee on
privileges and elections.
The bill making appropriations for the an
nual expenses OF the government Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia was then taken up.
Senator Frye moved that the price to be paid
for asphalt pavement be raised from ca to
81. so per square yard
Senator Plumb agreed to the amendment an
then Senator Ingalls, took the floor to say that
no asphalt had ever been compounded which
could withstand the wear and tear con-
sequent upon use by heavy wagons and
drays The Senator said he looked to the time
in the near future when heavily laden wagons
would be compelled to run only on GER
tain streets which would be paved with
Belgian block or some other practically indie
structible material Asphalt was a good pave
ment for pleasure driving and for light vehi-
Giles. otherwise he thought it was the most ex-
pensive and most useless pavement ever in
vented.
Senator Dawes advocated little more pri-
mary expenditure on pavements. Those which
were cheapest at first were always most expen-
sive and most disgraceful before they could be
replaced.
Senator German wanted the appropriation
committee to open the doors to compe tition.
The laying of asphalt pavement, he said, was
now monopoly.
The amendment offered by Gen. FRYE nam
ing the limit of price to g. so was agreed to.

as the committee considered the mat
ter had reached such . stage as to
render . little private consultation
among the members desirable. The doors
were therefore closed and the committee pro-
ceeded to discuss the Burton bill without out
side help or interference. The different fac
tions, however, did not succeed in getting
together with that closeness which would
signify an early agreement Mr.. Moore pro-
posed scheme of q commission to be
appointed by the President to settle the
disturbing questions Mr.. Moore's plan, it is
understood does not meet with much support
from other members of the committee. Ii was
finally moved by MIR. Atkinson that the Burton
bill be recommitted to the Commits
sioners to obtain their views on the engineer
ing difficulties to be met in the proposed
sinking of the tracks and removal of the pres
ent station. This motion was agreed to and
the bill will be sent back to the Commissioners
This action was brought about, il is thought,

THEY MUST FORK OVER.
Chfcago's Ex-Treasurers Called on to
Pay Interest on Deposits.

CHICAGO, April 22-The city council last
night adopted resolution which will cause
the gentlemen who have oficiated as treasurers
OF the city during the past ten years some
trouble. In a message to the council some
time ago Mayor Creger stated that for
years past the city funds have been
kept on deposit in one or more banks selected
by the treasurer and drawing interest amount
ing to q large sum annually, which sum has
been retained by the treasurer a personal
emolument without the sanction of law and
contrary to sound public policy.
The finance committee last night reported
resolution directing the corporation counsel to
bring suit upon the official bonds of each and
every city treasurer who has occupied that
Office during the last ten years. to the end that
such personal emolument so retained by said
treasurers, without the sanction of law and
contrary to sound public policy, shall be recov-
cred from the said treasurers and from their
sureties and turned into the treasury of the
city of Chicago, where said interest rightfully
belongs"
The amount Of interest which has been
pocketed by the city treasurers for years past
is estimated all the way from $4,000 to $4,000
yearly.

DIRECTING TO THE TRACKS.
Hearing on the Bill to Extend the
Columbia Railroad.

The Commissioners this afternoon gave q
hearing to those interested in House bill 1894,
''to authorize the extension Of the Columbia
Railroad" There were present Mr..
Nathaniel Wilson, the attorney Of the
railroad; NJ. l. Weller, representing the East
Washington Citizens Association; Henry Hurt
Of the Washington and Georgetown railroad f.
Y. Berry. John H. Voorhees,, Gen. d. Woodruff,
j. H. Stephenson, Collector Davis and II. A.
Curtis The hearing was opened by the OBJ
jectors Gen. Woodhall, representing the
property owners of G street, was
the first speaker. He said he
wanted the interests Of the people he repre-
sented duly regarded. The new road, he said.
would destroy the herdic line, which was per-
fectly satisfactory. The present sys-
tenn of transportation, he said, was good.
The only objection he had was that II the
present road was allowed to be constructed il
would do his section Of the city but little good,
as it would only take them TO 18th street and
then shoot them Of to the government
Printing Office. Now, if this road will give
York avenue on the Metropolitan line
or q transfer at the corner of 18th
street for the avenue railroad the people in his
section would be perfectly willing to allow the
railroad to come in.
Mr.. NJ !. Weller said the only objection he
had to offer was the length of time allowed to
complete the road. He said one and half
years was sufficient to complete the road.
President Hurt of the Washington and
Georgetown railroad objected to the road using
his company's track from 18th to 18th streets.
The hearing was in progress when TEE
STAR's report closed.

Something Like a Fight.

CHICAGO, April GA large crowd filed Mad
ison Street Theater to see the Australian, MUIR
ply, and Tommy White. the Belfast Spider,
spar. The Australian seemed to be seized with
the idea that Tommy intended knocking him
out. He sailed in and let Tommy have right
hand swing just behind the ear, flooring him.
Tommy arose rather groggy and Murphy
pounded him viciously on the jaw. This riled
the Chicago man and in the second round he
smashed the Australian repeatedly, finally
drawing blood from his nose. Murphy rushed
at him in return and the crowd yelled with de-
light, expecting to see a knock fight. but
they were disappointed. The 'Parson" stepped
forward and spoiled the ardor of the men and
the remainder of the match was very tame.
