FENCES ALONG BRIDGE APPROACHES.

FENCES ALONG BRIDGE APPROACHED.
Several days ago Capt Rossell submitted to
the Commissioners an estimate for the building
of fences along certain streets and roads APP
preaching bridges. The places that are in
tended to be protected are high entertainments
where balky or frightened horse might cause
serious damage to individuals. He recon-
mends that fences be built on the following
streets and roads which are now the approaches
to bridges and in q dangerous conditions:
Woodley Lane road, Belmont avenue, Con-
necticut avenue, Goth street extended, Klingle,
Ford and Pierce mill bridges. at an estimated
ton for repairs to county roads. The Commits
sioners have approved his accommodation and
have issued an order accordingly.
OBJECTIONS TO HORSE CAR RENDEzvoUs.
Recently the property owners and residents
on street between Saith and 35th streets
northwest presented q petition to the Commits
sioners protesting against the continuance in
that locality of the rendezvous for car horses
maintained by the Metropolitan railroad COM
pany. The matter has been referred to the at
torney for action.
THE EIGHTEENTH STREET PAVEMENT.
A petition from Oliver Cox and others pray
ing that 18th street between and streets be
included in the estimates for 1891 today came
up for action by the Commissioners. They APP
proved Capt. Rossells recommendation, which
was to the effect that 18th street between 4
and s be paved with sheet asphalt on bitumin-
Gus base at cost Of IS, 400. Eighteenth street
between New Hampshire avenue and street is
now on the schedule at an estimated cost of
$4,000. He recommends that the further inn
provement Of this street be put of for another
year.
THE STONE cRUsHER TO 90.
The Commissioners today instructed the DO
lice to remove the stone crusher from the foot
OF o street southwest Some time ago an
order was issued to this effect, but was never
carried out The matter has been a subject of
much complaint, and the Commissioners are
determined to see that it 10 removed

THE TARIFF BILL.
The Measure Not Yet Completed-Aiodi-
fications Still Probable.

The majority Of the ways and means commit
tee were not able to complete their tariff bill
30 as to report it to the whole COM
mittee today, as they had expected
TO do. There are two or three items
not yet settled upon and some items
upon which an agreement had been reached
have been opened for reconsideration in conse.
quence Of protests that have been received.
Some notifications have been made and many
Others are being earnestly pressed The com.
mittee considers all protests that they deem
worthy OF consideration and this
involves considerable OF review
Of their past work. The silver and
lead ore men, the carpet manufacturers the
silk manufacturers, the shoe men of New En-
gland and the sugar men are very active in
their efforts to get notifications and changes
made in the bill The shoe men still have
hopes Of having hides put back on the free
list, and the sugar men have not
yet given up the hope OF securing
. less reduction than the bill at present pro-
yides. With all the struggle between differen,
interests that Is now gong on il will not be
surprising II there are a number Of import ant
notifications made in the bill before il is re-
ported TO the whole committee.
very lew Changes may be made in the
whole committee after the bill once gets there
but some are expected to be made in the
House.
DEMOCRATIC BILL
The democrats of the committee will prob.
ably not make any attempt to change the
schedule In the Mckinley bill, but will repor,
against it and submit q bill Of their own based
on the Mills bill. but going further in the way
Of giving free raw material than that bill went
Since the New England manufacturers appear
20 be receiving less consideration in this line
in the Mckinley bill it is probable that the
democrats will offer them about all the FIRE,
raw material they ask for.

WILLING TO WAIT A WHILE.
Republicans Who Do Not Favor A Fed.
eral Election Law just Now.


1t is not generally believed that the Lodge
federal election bill will be very vigorously
pressed. as many republicans do not think it
wise to pass such Q Law at this time.
MR. ALLEN WILLING TO TRUST PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
Mr.. Allen Of Michigan, who Is one Of the
strong republicans in the House and has re-
peatedly denounced southern election methods,
said to STAR reporter today:
II do not think the Lodge bill will be pressed
at this time. I think probably it would be bet
ter to wait while yet to see what public senti-
ment will do before resorting to radical action.
| think we should hold our hand ready to strike
II necessary, but think it will not be neces-
sary.
"The southern people are already beginning
70 see that 1t will not do to keep up their old
methods. Public sentiment is against them
and they are shamed by their own conscience
and public exposure. I think the thing will
work itself out in time and we had better wait
for while and see.
THE republican party is the defender Of
Justice, and the mere fact that we do not need
the south to make up our majority in the House
Will not influence us to abandon the southern
republicans; but there is no need for hasty
action"
MR.. PAYsoN ALSO WILLING TO WAIT.
Mr.. Payson, speaking on the same subject,
said that he thought that something was neces-
sary to improve the political situation in the
south, but that there was q question az to what
that something ought to be. He hardly
thought the time had come when q federal
election law would be necessary. He rather
thought the situation was improving and would
correct itself with the assistance Of strong pub
lie sentiment

The Pan.American Conference.

After a discussion occupying the greater
part Of its sessions for the past three days the
Pan-American conference has recommitted
the report of the committee ON port dues.
There are several countries represented in the
conference, notably the Argentine Republic,
Uruguay and Nicaragua, whose systems OF light
houses are maintained under contract and their
representatives desired that these countries
should be excepted from the operation Of the
recommendation OF the committee until the
present contracts expire. Representatives of
other countries desired that harbor dues should
be assessed upon the gross tonnage Of ships in
stead Of the registered tonnage as the COM
mittee recommended. It was finally decided
that the best way Of securing q satisfactory
basis Of action was to send the report back to
the committee and this was done, the COM
mittee being increased from Ave to seven
members.

Abilene's Fall Races to Eclipse all
Previous Records.

The directors of the Abilene Driving
Park association held an important
meeting yesterday afternoon at which
time it was decided to change the time
of the fall meeting to Oct. Is, 90, so and
81.
This meeting will be al Interstate
Horse Breeders meeting and will be
without doubt the most successful
race meeting in the history of the Abb
Iene track. The races will be nearly
all stake races and the program is be-
ing arranged to suit the breeders of
Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and other
western states who have sigDified their
intention of being present with long
strings of flyers.
The indications are for the largest
number of entries in the track shistOry,
so wide has its reputation spread.
Abilene may well be proud Of its
name as horse raising and training
center. 1t has a name unexcelled in
the west and judging from the past no
record is safe from being broken here.
The fall races will show some still
faster time than has yet been made.
