Building Operations.

Emmons & King, the builders, haye in course
of construction twenty houses, Sixth and NJ
streets southwest, and expect to haye them
topped out this week. They built ten houses
in this section last season. which have been
readily rented, They are also erecting at the
corner of Eleventh and e streets northwest
large store building. In the original plans only
three stories were contemplated, but the de-
mand for business property on this street has
increased so rapidly that it is now necessary to
make the building six stories. Most of the
rooms have been spoken for, and before its
completion it is expected that it will be entirely
rented. They also expect to build IN few
days thirty-fYe houses at the intersection of
Massachusetts avenue, E, and First streets
northeast, which, when completed, with those
contemplated by Messrs. Barnes & Weaver,
will completely improve that portion of square
72l, bounded by First and Second streets east
f street and Massachusetts, avenue north. Cal
ifornia street, which passes through the centre
of this square, will give the Golden State a

LONG AND SHORT HAULS."

Grossly Exorbitant Rates of Transporta-
tion Charged on Food Products.
The Interstate Commerce Commission sent
to the Senate yesterday report upon the in
vestigation made by it under Senate resolu
ton directing the commission to inquire into
the truth of the allegations that the long and
short haul clause of the Interstate Commerce
act operated to prevent reduction of the
rates of transportation of food products from
the Mississippi Valley. Upon the mass of testi
mony taken the commission discusses the
reason abeness Of cost of freight transporta-
ton at great length, and says: "The rebates
before the act and the very much lower rates
frequently put in force since fairly lead to the
conclusion that existing corn and grain rates
are so high as to encourage frequent aud hurt
full changes, and to make reductions eXpedient
and profitable to the roads whenever necessary
to secure the business
The commission says that the rates on grain
from Kansas and Texas points are unreasonably
high for longer distances and grossly excessive
and eXorbitant for the shorter, and should be
reduced. Wheat and flour should bear the same
rate, which should not be more than ID per
| cent. above the rates on corn and oats. Rates
on all grain other than wheat should pay the
same rates as corn. Grain rates from the Da-
| kotas and Minnesota should be moderated and
adjusted.
ave think no better rule applicable to the
|
sion, ethan that applied by railroads themselves,
in accordance with which rates are so adjusted
as to secure the largest exchange of commodi-
| ties. In the carriage of the great staples which
supply an enormous business, and which in
market value and actual cost of Transports
ton are among the cheapest articles of com
merce rates yielding moderate profit are both
justiiable and necessary. 1t was
claimed during this investigation that the law
was hindrance to the reduction of the rates
on grain and other products for export.
The manner of conducting this traffic in th'
past warrants the belief that the roads, if per
mitted, would carry commodities for export a
reduced rates. Through lines are essential tc
long distance transportation at REASONABLE
rates, and the omission of Congress to max
the necessary provision for them may enabl
the carriers, by discontinuing or refusing to es
tabish them, to defeat in part the purposes o
this Investigation
The commission therefore renews the recon
mendations of its annual reports of lSSS-'St
that the third section of the act be so amende
as to make provision for through carriage a
through rates over connecting lines

desk far into September. The fact is, Congress
cannot do its work properly in much shorter
space OF time than the average of past sessions.
The situation might be relieved a little if the
short session were extended a couple OF months.
1t is to be regretted the project intended to ac-
complish t|is has not been pushed The vast
and varied interests OF a great and rapidly
growing country may well occupy more of the
time of the national legislators than is now
usual. No siller stuff finds its way into Amer

commonly appear about this season OF the year

A VICIOUS BRUTE.
A Savage MastifT Creates Consideration on
Eighteenth Street.

n savage Ma6t1n Creates COnSternatlOn on
Eighteenth Street.
Considerable CONSERVATION and alarm was
created among residents about the corner of
Eighteenth and II streets northwest yesterday
morning by the strange actions of large dog
of the English mastiff breed. The an imal first
attracted attention in the pretty little parking
on the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and
Eighteenth street by savagely attacking and
killing hound, the property of a colored man,
who was passing. After this he returned to the
park, took a position under a tree, and kept
every child who desired to play in the place
out, now and then darting to the street and at
tempting to bite passing horses. About II
O'Clock the dog vacated his place in the park,
and, going direct to the homo Of Mr. James j.
Haney, $40 Eighteenth street, entered the
front door, and walked into the parlor where
on the floor with beautiful japanese
pug that one OF the Japanese Embassy
presented to him. The mastiff with one pounce
sezed the pug in his mouth and broke his back,
but continued to shake him as terrier does a
rat. The blood from the pug was strewn all
over the parlor, and many OF Mr.. Haney's fine
pieces of bric-a-brac were ruined. The chill
dren ran frightened into the street. Neighbors
came in to drive the brute out Little Jimmy
Haney got club to beat the mastiH off, but
the infurated beast made an attempt to bite
him and he desisted. DR.. Magruder was pass
ing and he struck the dog to the earth with a
cudgel, got his licensed tag number, and gave it
to Mr. Haney The dog, it is said, belongs to
Mr.. Savage, of II street, and the people of that
neighborhood will insist on its being killed.
This is the season Of mad dogs, and people
should be very careful about keeping vicious
dogs around their premises. Last week little
girl on A street northeast was badly bitten by a
savage dog and cases are being reported daily.

the Heated Term.
1t is needless to expatiate on "Forest Inn'' as
a model summer resort, and that it is lacking in
nothing to promote the comfort and happiness
of persons anticipating leaving the city for the
summer. This delightful resort, situated in one
of the most picturesque parts of Maryland, and
only few minutes ride from Washington,
offers many inducements to Washingtonians,
especially those who are compelled by business
ties to remain in the city during the day. The
train accommodations are such that will enab bic
one to come and go most any hour during the
day. The well-known and popular proprietors,
Messrs. Tenney & Crosby, of the National
Hotel, have again opened the doors of this pop

AWAITING THE SILVER BILL.
Traders in Wall Street Inclined to Hammer
Stocks.

Stocks.
New YORK, June THE stock market to
day, outside of the trusts and one or two
specialties, was an extremely limited one, and
the dealings and final changes for the most
part were without significance. The disposition
at present is to await the action on the silver
bill, and the trading was to-day confined almost
exclusively to the room-traders, who were in
clined to hammer stocks in the early dealings,
in the expectation that the bank statement
would show decrease in the surplus reserve.
The carly demand was sufficient to cause slight
advances in some stocks after an irregular open,
ing, but the pressure later wiped out these gains
and prices in most stocks retired slightly below
those of the opening. Louisville and Nashville
was most conspicuous among the active stocks
for its decline, but it was only a small fraction

From the reports Of the progress of the CEN
sus enumeration received from different Sec
tions of the country by Superintendent PORTER,
it appears that citizens generally take more
sensible view Of the much-denounced ''inquisi-
torial" questions regarding mortgages and dis
ease than the hysterlcal newspapers. The in
formation these much-denounced questions
were intended to secure will be OF great value,
and citizens show their good sense by answer
ing them. The reported disinclination of large
numbers of people to tell how old they are is
an amusing and significant sign of the times
That species Of vanity which manifests itseli
in desire to be thought young seems to have
spread from single ladies of uncertain age tc

ought to find in this revelation of the census

Now that both Houses of Congress are focus
