THE DANGEROUS CROSSINGS.
suggestions of Capt. Rossell as TO Un-
protected Crossings anG Speed Of Trains

Capt Rosseu today in letter 20 Col. Robert
replies to the numerous complaints on fle in
MS ONCE relative TO unprotected railroad cross
mgs on the Washington branch Of the Balti-
more and OHIO railroad and the speed OF the
trains within the city limits. He SAYS:
The railroad situation in Washington "a
well known and the only remedy 10 all the evils
existing on both sides lies in the hands OF Con-
gress; but under the laws and regulations in the
District OF Columbia. IL will be noticed in the
police regulations framedby the Commissioner
OF the District of Columbia under an act Of Con-
gress approved January 25, 1887. that in section
10 the speed OF trains is regulated and that
street crossings or Intersections are not allowed
10 be obstructed except for the time needed for
the passage OF the cars, trains or engines ct q
rate ofspoed not less than five miles an hour Sec
ton 10 provides that where the grade OF a steam
railway track il approximately even with the
adjacent surface the line Of the road shall be
securely closed on both sides with a substantial
fence and al grade crossings or Intersections
OF any steam railroad track with streets or
avenues shall be securely guarded BY suitable
gate or guard erected, maintained and
the company owning or operating such track,
In view Ci The Complaints tLAt have often been
cent IN and the humber Of lives that have been
lost at the different Crossings n the clty / be-
neye IL would be vel Tor TIE Commissioner
to have reports made BY the police
OF al the Crossings nov N exist
ence In the city Of Washington showing the
hours between which wstchmsa or dagmen are
stationed there; whether or not gates or guards
are in existence, and also 70 state whether or
not watchmen or fAgnen are needed
for longer hours tE4n they are now
kept on by the railroad company
Ii will be noticed under the Law OF August
%, ISL, an act by the Legislative assembly Of
the District of Columbia, that flagmen are re-
CURED 10 be kept at the Crossings until the ar
rival or departure OF the last train at night"
The letter was furnished 20 Col Robert for
his personal information.

UNDER THE DOME.
ChicaGo's Worlds Fair Delegation
Postal Telegraphy-Committ Notes.

The Chicago men who reached Washington
last night were again before the subcommittee
on the worlds fair this morning talking about
the details Of the bill They will remain
here for several days and expect
to be Joined tonight by another
body Of representative citizens Of Chicago. It
is not believed that the names Of the incorpor-
ators will be selected by the stockholders
within fortnight, but the committee will not
be delayed on that account
RIGHT HOURS DAT FOB POSTAL CLERKS.
Ex-Representative T. J. Campbell Of New
York today appeared before the House post
Office committee to advocate the passage of
pending bills to limit the work Of postal clerks
to eight hours daily at full salary and to
grant them fifteen days leave annually.
MIR. Wilson, former employe IN the New York
the same line. In answer to questions by
the chairman Mr.. Wilson said that the
civil service law had made the service
much more desirable; in his estimation it
had secured their tenure Of office
and had relieved them from political taxation
New York, himself . mechanic, as he stated,
said that he had always held that eight hours
was long enough for any man, working a. the
postal clerks do, to labor in one day.
TIE POSTAL. TELEaRAPH.
The House post office committee today re-
sumed consideration Of the subject of postal
telegraph, and was address by Ralph Beau
mont, chairman of the legislative committee
Of the Knights OF Labor. He said that
the eighteenth plank Of the platform of his
organization declared for q government teie-
graph system; and Representative Wade (Mo.)
had introduced q bill embUdying their
views As to tho Postmaster Generals bill,
it was not q good business proposition.
The government was abundantly able to buy
the whole thing and carry it on without fur
nishing business opportunities for somebody
else. These keen, shrewd business men had
built up and maintained great corporations
that Overshadowed the country and made the
country lop sided; it was not a thing to enter
into any further combination with them. Lin
coin would say today that this was u govern
ment of corporations, by corporations and for
corporations.
The lines proposed in the Wade bill could
be constructed for IS, $50, $40 and the bill car
ried a total appropriation Of $1,000 000 The
government should own, operate and control
its own system.
Col. W. W. Dudley, who said he represented
the Western Union telegraph company, was, at
his own request, given permission to make ar
gument before the subcommittee on the Postal
telegraph upon the constitutional aspect Of the
Wanamaker bill, and the committee adjourned.

PLAYING WITH FIRE,
A Five-Year- Old Girl Burned to Death
This Morning.

A little after o'clock this morning as the
fve-year-old daughter of Samuel Ward, a col
ored man, who lives at 1914 7th street south
east was playing in one Of the rooms Of the
house her clothing caught fire from an open
stove and she was horribly burned about the
body.
She was at once removed to Providence hos
pital, where she was attended by DIR. Carrahes,
and everything possible done to allay her suffer
ings, but at 1880 this afternoon she died.
At the time of the accident neighbor turned
in an alarm from box 81, and the fire depart
ment at once responded, but found there was
no need for their services as the flames had all
been extinguished.

MR.. TAULBEE'S CONDITION.
Still in a Critical Condition, But the
Physicians Yet Have Hopes for Him.

There is no marked change in the condition.
Of Mr.. Taulbee today. He still lies in criti-
cal condition at Providence hospital, and his
death may occur at any time, but even yet the
physicians in charge of his case have by no
means given up hope.
MIR. Taulbee is in about the same condition
as he was when yesterdays report was made -
said DR.. Bayne to STAR reporter this after
noon. "His case undoubtedly gives rise to
the gravest apprehensions, but at
the same time il has not arrived at that state
where il can be said that there is no prospect
of his recovery. His mind now is not in a suffi-
ciently intelligent state to make an ante
norton statement from him possible at
present, will it be unless it clears decidedly
Bad symptoms set in Wednesday when he first
became dciirious, and he has been growing
constantly weaker ever since. He also suffers
from exhaustion, as q result OF the large
amount of blood he lost at the time
of the shooting. The eye near which the ball
entered is substantially uninjured, and If he
RECEIVERS he will not lose the sight OF either
eye"
The STAR reporter also called at Providence
hospital to see DIR. Tsulbee, but the doctor sent
word down that he had nothing further to say
in the matter.
The district attorney did not receive any in
formation concerning Mr.. Taulbee's condition
today, although it was expected that the physi-
clans at the hospital would communicate any
serious change in the patients condition.
When the condition OF the wounded man
took a serious turn yesterday and Attorney
Armes failed TO get his ante norton statement
Col Moore, chief of police, was re-
quested to keep Judge Kincaid under
police surveillance and again arrest him In
case Mr.. Taulbee's death ensues. In event Of
Mr.. Taulbee's death, however, Judge Kincaid
will promptly deliver himself to the officers
and await the result Of an inquest
Al 3:l5 pm. there was no change in the con-
dition Of Representative Taulbee.

PraDdial Jokes.

eugene l1eld In the chicago News.
As ! write the phrase, "Begrudge
the time" recall the conversation that once
took place between Sol Smith Russell, the
comedian, and an old-time actor named Par.
sons. 1t seems that Parsons was member OF
Russel's company; he was an exceedingly re
bust man and made q practice of indulging in
heavy meals at most unreasonable hours. One
night after the performance at the theater Mr..
Russell dropped in at a restaurant for bow
of bread and milk; having been all his life
somewhat of dyspetic he had to adopt a
frugal diet. Great was his horror to find Par.
sons attacking with marvellous gusto plateful
of corned beef and cabbage. The very thought
of presuming to cope with such q meal at mid
night made Russell well nigh ill

the Garrick club one evening he found Henry
Irving devouring a Welsh rarebit Gazing a
a brief space at the rarebit, he shook hands
with Irving and said, solemnly; "Give my love

YOUTHFUL SOVEREIGNS.
The Future Rulers of Europe and Their
Ages.

From Youths Companion.
Every European natiod, with the two excep-
tons of Russia and Turkey, has adopted some
kind Of constitutional system Of government.
In some of them, az in England. this system
approaches nearly in its essential features to q
democratic regime. In others, like Germany,
some constitutional features are combined with
a distinctly despotic element.
But whatever the form Of government il is
still a matter of importance in each of the
monarchies what sort of person occupies the
throne. A bad king, even in England, whe re
the royal power is reduced to its lowest point,
might yet do great deal OF mischief, while a
good one would make the machinery Of GOV
eminent move more smoothly.
Who, then, are to be the emperors, kings and
queens OF the future? Who are the persons in
the several countries who are destined in the
ordinary course of events to sit on the throne
and to rule with lesser or greater authority
It is a striking fact that many of the heirs to
kingships are young people; some, indeed, are
very young.
The heir apparent, for instance, Of the great
German empire and the Prussian kingdom is
the little Prince Frederick William, who is only
seven years Of age. Should he die before
reaching maturity his younger brother, Prince
William, now aged six. would become the heir
The heir to the Portuguese throne, to which
Don Carlos has just succeeded, is Louis Phil
1ppe, prince OF belra, VINO Is only TWO years OLD.
The future queen of Holland, Princess Will
helmna, has recently completed her ninth year
and is likely to succeed her aged and decrepit
father ere very long.
The present king of Spain, AIfonzo XIII, is
not four years old and came to the throne at
his BIRTH his father having died before the
little king came into the world. Should he die
before marrying his eldest sister, the Infanta
Dona Maria de las Mercedes, now nine years o.
age, would succeed to the Spanish throne.
Some heirs to the European thrones have
Just arrived at young manhood. The Grand
Duke Nicholas Of Russia and the duke of
Sparta in Greece have recently celebrated the
completion Of their twenty-6rst year. Young
Victor Emmanuel. prince of Naples, the heir
TO the throne Of Italy, was twenty years old
last November. Thus 1t appears that, with the
exception of Great Britain and Austria Hun
gary, the heir to every important European
throne is younger than the Constitution OF the
United States requires q member OF Congress
TO be and Prince Otto, the heir presumptive to
the Austrian throne, is only twenty-six years
old.
Moreover, the succession in England belongs
to the prince of Wales, who is forty eight years
old. But it is said that the prince Of Wales's
health il precarious and it Is not improbable
that his mother, Queen Victoria, although she
is seventy years old, may outlive him. In that
case the heir to the throne would be Albert
Victor the prince of Waless eldest son, who is
now twenty-fv years old.
few years older is Gustaf, duke Of Werm-
land, who is the heir to the throne of Sweden
and Norway, and who is thirty-one.
