THE MATURING DISTRICT BONDS.
MIR. Grout Hopes to Have the Bill Providing
for u New Issue Passed.

for New Issue Passed.
The fact that the conference committee had
stricken out from the District appropriation
bill all provisions for meeting the ma
turing 1891 bonds Of the District
necessitated that some action should
be taken in the matter. Today an earnest
effort has been made by Gen. Grout to bring
about settlement of the question
and some time this afternoon Or
night he will be recognized to move to sus-
pend the rules and pass the bill reported by
the District committee providing for a
new issue Of SO per cent bonds to
meet the bonds falling due. The chances are
that this will be the last bill relating to the Dis
trict to pass this session.
ANXIETY AT THE DISTRICT OFFICES.
The statement that Congress has failed to
provide means for paying off bonds of the Dis
trict sent Commissioner Douglass hurrying
Capitolwards today.
He consulted with his colleagues and it was
decided to make an effort to have Mr.. CIRCUITS
refunding bill reported and passed.
Auditor Petty today said that if no
provision was made now for paying off
the bonds as they fell due the result
would be simply that the coupons for the
interest which falls due July /, 1891, will be
paid and Congress at its December session will
be asked to make further provision.
At the Capitol this afternoon Commissioner
Douglass saw Chairman Grout and explained
the situation to him, and the two spoke to
Speaker Reed. The Inter said he understood
the Importance OF the matter, and would do all
in his power to arrange matters SO that the bill
could be taken up. Commissioner
Douglass explained that many of the bonds
were held IN Germany and other foreign
countries and it would look as though the
United States was not able to pay off the in
terest, for they could not distinguish the diff
ference between the capital OF the nation and
the nation itself

OUR POOR POLICE COURT,
1t Has No Money Either for Juries or 10,
Fires.

1t Has No Money Either for Juries or for
Fires.
The Police Court seems to be playing in bad
luck just now, although Congress passed the
bill giving that tribunal the relief that has
long been asked. The enactment of the bill
changes the entire practice, and provides for
jury trials, making the prosecutions legal and
avoiding the threatened jail delivery.
The passage Of the bill, however, does not
happen to be all that is necessary for CARRYING
into effect its provisions. An appropriation is
found necessary for the pay of the new officers
and jury provided for, but such appropriation
has not yet been made, and only a few hours
are now left for the passage of such a bill
In event Of the failure Of Congress to make
such an appropriation il is claimed that trials
in the Police Court under the old practice
would be illegal and render prosecution of
lawbreakers Of certain classes Illegal Under
the new act persons are entitled TO q
trial by jury and unless they can. get il. il is
held no trial can be had. Judge Miller and
others are endeavoring today to secure the
passage Of a bill that will permit the carrying
into effect of the law.
To add to these difficulties there is another
trouble and that is the exhaustion of the ap-
preparation for contingent expenses. Among
other items which are paid for ont of this
fund is fuel for the building. The coal is all
gone and the last requisition for q new supply
was not honored. Today the janitor had to
use cinders TO keep up the fires in some parts
of the building, while in the Office of the prose
cutting attorney for the United States Mr. Null
lowney had to content himself with cold stove
and think of the fire that was in il yesterday.

A GENERAL ADVANCE.


Some Activity In Stocks In the Morning,
Succeeded by Dullnsss.
New YoRx. March3.-The.stockm market opened
this morning with more activity than on any
day for over week, but while Atchison, Bur-
lington, Northern Pacific preferred, Louisville,
Pacific Mail and Rock Island were leaders
in the dealings, in Pacific Mail only
was there any movement Of i'm
portanee. The opening prices were
generally from Is to V higher than last even
ings figures, but Pacific Mail was up / per
cent and Northern Pacific preferred q. There
we're slight further gains in most stocks, but
Pacific Mail immediately dropped away X per
cent to $751; and the rest of the active list fol-
lowed with small fractional conces-
sions, the low priced and mac
tive shares in the meantime being almost ne
elected. The downward movement went no
further, however, and later in the hour, al
though there was little activity in all portions
of the list. prices improved all along the line
and wero carried generally above those Of the
opening. Tha late dealings were devoid of
special feature. and at11 O'Clock the market
was quiet and steady TO firm generally at some
thing better than first prices.
Money Is easy at SO and per cent. The
dealings in the stock market lost their anima-
tion after IL o'clock, only Burlington and Lou
isville showing any activity, and each was
rather heavy. but later recovered its tone. The
rest of the market was dull and stagnant de-
veloping no featurefof any kind Al noon the
market was intensely dull again and stagnant
at Insignificant changes from the opening
prices.

FRED WHEELER Is DEAD.
The stabbins Array at the Reform school
Results Fatally.

The stabbins Array at the Reform school
Results Fatally.
Fred Wheeler, the colored inmate Of the Re-
form School who was stabbed last week by Sam
Simpson, younger inmate of the same institu-
tion, as published in The STAR, died at Provi-
dence Hospital yesterday afternoon about S
O'Clock. The police were notified OF his death
and this morning the dead body was removed
to the morgue.
Simpson, the prisoner. is held at the sixth
precinct station Sc that he can be present at
the inquest which takes place tomorrow at IL
o'clock. The prisoner was regarded as being
about fifteen or sixteen years old before the
fatal assault, but now that he il accused of
murder it lis claimed by his relatives that he is
only thirteen.
Among the witnesses who will be examined
at the inquest will be eyewitness to the
transaction and DIR. Wells of Hyattsville, who
attended the boy.
The boy has been in the Reform School about
two years, and was sent there for stealing At
the time of his sentence il was stated that he
was between thirteen and fourteen years old.
Deputy Coroner Schaeffer will probably
make post-mortem examination of Wheeler's
body this afternoon.

THE APPROPRIATIONS .ILl.s.


How They Have Grown Since They Were
Distributed In the House.
The result Of the struggle 70 put misceila-
nsous items on the appropriation bills 10 still
in doubt. Therefore it is not possible at this
time TO tell just what the aggregate Of the APP
preparations FOR the session will be. These mis-
cellaneous items mount up enormously during
the rush of the closing hours Of the session.
AT the close Of the last session "very liberal
estimate was made by the committees, fixing
the sum Of those items at $4,000, 600, but it
turned out that the aggregate was s10 900 900.
At this time it is just as uncertain how much
these items viii add to the regular definite APP
preparations. 1t is safe to say, however, that
the aggregate OF all the appropriations will ex-
coed s525 o00, 900; possibly it will be consider
able more.
This is an immense increase over any pre-
ceeding Congress. II Is significant fact That
ever since there was division of labor on the
appropriation bills, some Of them being
distributed among other committees Of
the House, there has been rapid
increase Of expenditures. The increase
this time IL greater than formerly,
but 1t may be regarded as only in line with the
course Of events since the distribution of labor
occurred. The general distribution occurred
at the opening of the Forty-ninth Congress.
Since then there has been an increase Of $780,
OOO. COO in the aggregate Of annual appropria-
tions. This is of course, due in measure, to the
expansion of extravagant ideas, but the fact
each committee thinks only of the money that
it is authorizing to be expended, and not of
what all the other appropriations may swell
tho total to, leads to an increase of expondi-
ture all along the line no committee being will
ing to economic in the interest of bill held
by another committee.
GROWTH OF THE DIFFERENT BILLS.
The agricultural bill since it was taken from
the appropriations committee has grown from
about eco 900 per year to $4,000. 600; tho mill
tary academy bill has grown from $500. 900 to
S400. 600, and has gone high $500, cog, since
the transfer. The Indian appropriation bill
has grown from S5,O0O0O0 to $4,000 900, the
consular and diplomatic, from 81 600 600
(about) to S1,S50000. The post Office bill has
grown from S53, 100000 to S77,000, 600. The
army appropriation bill has grown $500, 000
The naval appropriation bill was about S14,-
DOC, 600 the last year it was with the appropria-
tons committee. Since then it has grown to
more than $50 100000.
The idea of distributing the bills was to get
them through earlier in the session. This has
not been accomplished, however. for the bills
are about as badly crowded into the end of the
session as they could possibly be.
Today thare are six bills in conference.-the
Indian, the post Office. the agricultural, the
pension, the legislative and the general de-
fciency.
