AN $SOO,OOO BUILDING.
The Stru cture Planned for the Geologi-
cal Survey.

Favorable action has been taken by the House
committee on public buildings and grounds on
the proposition to erect building in this city
for the use of the geological survey. A bill for
similar object is before the senate committee
and the plan referred to the supervising archi-
tect of the Treasury has received his sanction.
If the appropriation of $500, 900 asked for is
made another line public building win be added
to the group of which the national museum
building was first erected 1t is proposed to
occupy portion of the ground between the
national museum building and the army medi-
cal library building with this new structure 1t
will extend from street to a line parallel with
the front of the national museum building a
distance Of some 800 feet. In order to have
the new structure harmonic with the
surrounding buildings brick and stone
Will be used III the construction of the exterior
walls. The design. which Is &c morally favored,
is characterized by some of the best features
OF the Romanesqne architecture and the effect
Of the building will depend upon strong lines
and substantial construction rather than upon
Ornamentatlon. The proposed building will
be five stories i'll height. including the base
ment story. which will be entirely above
ground. The feature of the interior will be a
central court, extending to the roof. with gal
lerles at each floor The arrangement of the
Interior will be specially adapted for the use of
the survey On the first floor will be the
various laboratories connected with the sur
vey. Many windows on all sides give an
abundance of light and air As the require
ments of the work of the survey is such as to
make it necessary that the scientists be pro-
tected from interruption the great maj rity of
the rooms are small, as 10 give far as prac-
ticabie Individual work rooms. The need for
this building has been SO frequently urged
upon Congress in former years that it is ex-
pected the necessary legislation will be enacted
at the present session

pay 10 everything but the brick sidewalk

THE DECISION IN THE COLE CASE MUST GOVERN.
Recently Building Inspector Entwisle wrote
to the Commissioners requesting information
relative to the building regulations. He asked
whether the decision in the Cole bay-wiudow
case prevents him from issuing any more per-
mits for projections exceeding IA feet in width.
The matter referred to the attorney for
the District for his opinion. His report on the
case was received today In it he saws: THE
decision In the Cole case is the law and
should be obeyed until reversed; and it would
not be safe to act upon presumption that il
will be reversed"

THE WHEAT STATISTICS.
The Close Agreement Found I'm the Re-
ports of Production and Distribution.

The March report of Prof J. r. Dodge,
statistician of the Department of Agriculture,
contains a comparison OF the statistics of wheat
production for the last nine years with those
on the distribution of the wheat crop for the
same period. The average annual production,
as derived from the crop estimates of the statis-
tlcian, made in December of each year,
amounted to 445. 900. 900 bushels. The distribu-
ton. as ascertained by later records, has been
for food, 264 600, 600 bushels annually; for seed
"a OOOOOO bushels; for expectation in form of
wheat and -four, 100000 bushels: making a
total distribution of 447 ZOO. 600 bushels each
year. This indicates, it is held, that the Stats
uclans estimates of production. so far as they
have erred at ALL have erred on the whole on
the side OF conservatism and not. as wheat
spectators have sometimes charged. on the
side of exaggeration. The two sets OF figures.
a STAR reporter WAS informed. are based upon
separate and independent data and are made
up upon a uniform system from year to year
which admits of no modification to secure
agreement between them in any given Case
Those on production are made UP within a few
months after the completion of the harvest
and are based on the data obtained through
the correspondents and agents of the depart
ment appointed for the especial purpose of sup
plying Information on this subject, while those
on distribution are necessarily prepared many
months later and based upon data derived
largely from wholly different sources-those on
expectation for example, being obtained by
the statistical bureau OF the Treasury depart
ment through the collectors of customs. That
the two sets Of figures In fact show a remarka-
bly, close agreement is, it is claimed, very
satisfactory evidence OF the substantial ac-
curacy of the data used and tine soundness of
the methods pursued in making up each branch
Of the statistical account

TAX LIEN CERTIFICATES.
The District Commissioners Favor the
Senate Bill for Relief Of the Holders.

In reply to inquiries from Senator Ingalls,
the Commissioners today reported favorably
on Senate bill 2630-''for the relief of holders
Of District of Columbia special assessment
certificates and for other purposes" They say
that the necessity for the relief this measure
contemplates arose through no laches Of the
holders of the liens in question. but through
the action of the public authorities in the fol-
lowing ways:
by acts Of Congress retroactively exempting
property of religious and charitable organiza-
tons, the act relievi parsonage property
and orphan asylums from all taxes prior to
july l. 1874. upon payment of all taxes accrued
since that date; by acts of Congress
on the property subject to tax lien, as in the
acts for the relief of Eliza W. Patterson;
where the collection OF the tax upon which
the lien is based is restrained by the courts;
where property encountered by a tax lien
came into possession of the United States by
escheat or gift or OF the United States or the
District OF Columbia by gift or purchase and the
unpaid assessments against the same thereby be-
came void; by the omission of the amount of
unpaid tax from the certificates of arrearages
OF taxes required to be given by the collector
OF taxes by act OF Congress of February G. 1879
which directs that such omission shall
operate to relieve the property
tax liens against such property of their secur-
lty; bv reductions and cancellations of special
assessments made Ill the course OF revision and
correction of such assessments under acts of
June 10, 1873 and June q. 1879
The claims for amount of reduction in
special assessments mentioned IN this bill grew
out of the provision i'll the act of June 81 1879
limiting the benefit OF revision to those who
had paid their special assessments prior to
June 10. 1878. This provision was apparently
designed to extend to those who had paid their
special assessments the reiiei given by the act
of June ~, 1875. to those only whose special as
sessments were unpaid. and not to exclude frcm
such relief those who had paid subsequently to
that date A number of these payments were
made after June Is, 1878, but before the COM
petlon of the revision of the assessments, upon
the the promise, it is claimed, of the then Com
mlssloners that if such payments were found
by the revision to have been excessive the
amount OF reduction would be refused The
commissioners know OF no good reason why
these claims should not be allowed"
The amount involved in the bill will not ex-
coed $4,000.

A Clerical Poker Room.

Classic and muddy Cambridge. Mass, is
greatly stirred up by the discovery that a re-
tired clergyman, a former pastor Of one of the
city churches, is running an open poker room
on the principal thOroughfare. He not only
sells aud redeems the chips put he often takes
hand in himself Among his visitors are
men prominent in Cambridge, some of them
holders OF official positions, and the fact that
the establishment could run along openly and
without molestation is due largely to this fact
Another place similar to this. only its pro-
prietor is layman, Is In full blast nearly OPP
poste and Its patronage, too. is eminently
respectable. II is also said that score of
gambling clubs and half dozen policy shops
flourish i'll the university city.
Official attention was called 10 the existence
of the two dens mentioned the other day when
woman wrote Mayor Gilmore that her hus-
band had lost money in one of the places
The matter turned over to the chief of
police. The latter official was much astonished
when he looked into the matter to find out who
were involved. but his firmness OF character
leads to the belief that the ex divine had better
quit Cambridge if he doesn't want to spend a
season III the house of correction.

Wedding Tour on a Hand Sled,

A wedding journey was begun under peculiar
circumstances near Hartford, Conn. Saturday.
John Burrows, the groom owns a farm on the
slope of old Talcott mountain. Belle Andrews
the bride, kept house for her father in his
little house OH the mountain top. Friday
they were married at the home of the
bride. They had arranged to take
a short wedding trip Tlere is little
railway station at the foot of the mountain a
mile or so away. This they resolved to reach
by coasting down the mountain on hand sled
All went we'll until about half the descent
had been accomplished. Then John suddenly
saw ahead an OK team toillng slowly up the
road The.road was narrow. On one side
lowered an overhanging mass of rock; on the
other side was the brink of a precipice
forty feet in height There was little time to
think, and just before meeting the approach
ing team the groom suddenly turned the
course of the sled and they went flying over
the precipice. The young farmer had calculated
we'll. The landing WAS made in several feet of
yielding snow and no serious harm resulted
Friends from above hastened to the rescue and
the pair, together with their carpet bags, were
dug out and once more started on their Jour
ney This time the station was reached with
out accident and the couple continued their
journey in high spirits.

How Runaway Horse Was Trapped

The two horses attached to Mr.. Averys milk
wagon decided this morning to run away.
They started from near 5th and streets and
were getting along pretty rapidly when one of
the runaways got hooked up by the bit to the
tai OF a coal cart on New Jersey avenue. That
settled matters, for no milk wagon team could
run away with coal cart and l,2OO-pound
horse hanging on the neck yoke. After a while
Mr.. avery who was delivering milk when his
steeds broke for liberty put in an appearance
and the ou,nt was turned over to him by Officer
1rammel. Damage. very slight.

A Lecture by the Marquis de Chambrun.

The last FRIDAY afternoon lecture at the
Columbian university was delivered in
French by the Marquis de Chambrun, who had
a most attentive audience. His subject was
the Declaration of Independence, and mis- dis
course was chapter Oh political philosophy
He sketched the gradual evolution of political
hbertyand said the Declaration of Independence
Is not solitary, unconnected fact in history
1t Is logical development. 1t was contained
potentially IN the past. When that declaration
was made history and tradition spoke by the
mouth OF Thomas Jefferson
