WORK OF THE CROOKS.
Several Good Sized Robberies Committed
This Week.

Several Good Sized Robberiss Committed
This Week.
The weather during the past week or ten
days has been favorable to the work Of crooks,
and they have taken advantage Of it.
Tuesday night Wentworth C. Zsnly Of Viz
ginia was robbed Of silver watch and % in
cash, and Thursday night II. H. Tvley'spocket
was picked of $40, a pair Of spectacles, q rail-
road pass and a note for s105.
Thursday about noon William Wallace's
house, No. 314 14th street. was entered by a
burglar. who gained entrance by breaking the
glass in the kitchen window. A gold watch and
chain was secured.
Two robberies. evidently done by profess
sional burglars, were committed, one Thursday
and the other last evening. Both robberies
were committed about the same time in the
evening, between and 9 O'Clock, while the
families in the houses were down stairs at
dinner.
Thursday night the residence Of Mr. John
NJ. Hutchins, No. 1907 Massachusetts avenue,
was visited. The burglars gained entrance to
the house by climbing up the back porch ard
entering through the bath room window, which
had carelessly been left open. The rooms in the
upper part of the house were searched and the
burglars secured gold quarter watch worth
$500, a silver watch and several valuable gold
rings.
Last night the house of Senator. Mcpherson
was robbed. There is a large porch over the
front door and it is thought that the robbers
climbed up the pillars and got through the
windows. 1t is possible, however, that the
thief sneaked through the rear door. Mrs.
Emmons, who was stopping at the Senator
house. lost diamond pin and pair Of dia-
mond earrings.
A handsome gold bracelet belonging TO Mrs.
Mcpherson was also taken, as were severel
scarf pins.
Detectives Horne and Mahon were sum-
moned to the house soon after the robbery
WIS discovered and they are now doing what
they can to apprehend the criminals.
The goods taken from Mr.. Hutchinson Q
house were valued at about ESQ and from SEN
ator McPherson's house about twice that
amount.

Capitol To-day.

OapttOi IO0Ays
Very few newly-elected Senators are 90 cor
daily received by representatives Of both big
parties as was Senstor-elect Kyle Of South Da-
kota. He made his first appearance on the
floor Of the Senate this morning-being intro
duced thereon by Senator Davis of Minnesota
and it was at once evident that Mr.. Kyle
was in demand. Republicans did their ut
most to make it pleasant for him and
left nothing undone that would be apt to re-
dound to their partisan advantage. A very cool
attempt was made to capture the South Da-
kotan bodily, some Of the democrats endeav-
oring to have him make application to Capt
Bassett for the seat which now belongs to Sena-
tor Bate but which the Tennesseean will vacate
for better one in the next Congress. For
awhile it looked as though the South
Dskotan vas going to be captured by
what could, In suchan event, be fairly termed
triumphant democracy" but he withstood
the pleading and postponed action 40 to the To-
cation Of his seat. Republicans who were watch
ing the proceedings shuddered as they saw
how narrow the escape had been. Mr.. Kyle
will receive great deal Of attention during the
next three or four days and can hardly fail to
secure n frst-class case Of indigestion if he
only accepts half the invitations to dinner and
luncheon which will be extended him.

taken in his views. and that there would be free
coinage Of silver long before and after he was
dead. ~

will swerve me from the course 1 laid out for
myself long ago, and to which have given un-

Mr.. D. s. Carr, the assistant engineer In
charge Of the cable road construction on the
Washington and Georgetown railroad, called
upon the Commissioners this morning and pre-
sented plans showing the construction of the
new cable road and asked for the Commission
ers' approval of the same. Commissioners
Ross and Robert approved the plans except
the conduit for telephone wires- Commissioner
Douglass, however. took exception to this and
wrote the following upon the plans:
Il approve Of this plan, except as to the
matter Of distance between the tracks; s feet
l115 inches is unnecessarily wide: feet is
enough: IL inches will be missed more and
more as the years go by and our streets
are more crowded by private vehicles; the
improvements should be SO constructed
that water will flow each way to the curb. In
other words the surface should show a single
convex segment from curb to curb. also ex-
cept from my approval the conduit for tele-
phone wires.
