A Committee Before the Commissioners
Congratulates Capt. ROssell.
A committee from the Citizens Association
OF Brightwood had a hearing before the Com
missioners this morning : in reference
to the improvement Of Brightwood avenue.
Chairman Galley did the talking
for the committee. He said that
Brightwood avenue, from Boundary to
Florida avenue. is in an impossible condition,
and that space from Steuben street to the Rock
Creek road is also in need Of improvement.
There was an appropriation passed at the last
Congress allowing $4,000 for the improve
ment Of this road and it was understood that a
contract has been awarded to do the work. He
wanted to know why the work had not been
commenced.
Capt. Rossell stated that the contractor was
unwilling to do the work unless the District
guaranteed payment This contractor had ex-
perienced considerable trouble in collecting
money from the Judson Railroad Company for
work done IN paving. as required by law, the
two feet adjacent to the tracks. 1t was ques-
ton whether the District could guarantee pay
ment in a case Of this kind and the matter
was now in the hands Of the attorney.
G Cnm n;,.i MS opinion was received the
general talk ensued on the probability Of
the Judson road complying with the terms Of
its charter in completing the road to the Dis
trict line, and It was stated that it only
had until the 26th of this month to do
It. Before the committee withdrew Mr..
Galley stated that he had been dele
gated on behalf Of the Citizens Association Of
Brightwood to congratulate the District upon
the appointment of Capt. Rossell as Engineer
Commissioner. He also congratulated Capt.
Rossell upon his promotion and the honor con-
ferred upon him. The captain responded in a
happy speech. Those present were Vim.

house, and they all escaped safely to Jamaica,
| and al Of them were fugitives from an outraged
government He then referred to his own ex-
periences in fleeing to England for protection
In slave times, but he discaimed any parallel.
He had been charged with being friend OF
Hayti which he did not deny. He was q friend
OF Hayti, not to the extent Of being disloyal TO
his own country, but to the extent of being In
sympathy with her efforts to solve the prob
lem of self-government He went on to pay q
glowing tribute to the qualities of the Presi-
dent OF this country, and said that in his esti-
nation there was no man in America more hu-
name, wise or conscientious in the discharge OF
ms duty He had no personal ends to serve,
no favors to ask from President Harrison, Mr..
Douglass said, but he must say that there was
no man more just to his fellow-men at home
or abroad, no man more blind to race preju-
dicos. than Benjamin Harrison. When he re-
ceived his final instructions from the President
the latter had said Douglass, do all you con-
sistently can, with your duty to the United
States we'll in mind, for the welfare Of Hayti
and her people,"
DECLARING FOR HARRISON.
HE sent me on no jobbing, mercenary or
menscing mission" the speaker asserted with
force. Then he added, 81 know not what may
be your sentiments on the subject but l am
for Benjamin Harrison for President for the
next term, and there was wild applause at
this.
He painted picture Of some of the scandal
Gus and shocking things to be observed in
Hayti, and asked the momentous question Of
what was to be the future of the island. In his
discussion Of this he went of at times into the
old, old subject Of the iniquity Of negro
slavery, and then he showed his oid-time vigor
and eloquence- His talk was besprinkled with
wit and sly illusions to biblical matters that
enthused the religious folks present and kept
the house in a constant murmur of approval.
His conclusions were that Hayti had done we'll
