STEAM RAILWAYS IN THE CITY.
A I'm Giving the Comm is-ioner. Authority
to Regulate Them.


Shortly after Mr.. Ross became q Commits
sioner his attention was called 20 the unlawful
speed Of railroad trains within the city limits
The police regulations allow trains 10 run At
speed not exceeding twelve miles per hour. II
was claimed that this was unlawful. in view of
the act Of the Legislative assembly which limited
the speed to sin miles per hour. The matter was
looked up and referred 10 the district attorney
for an opinion ss 10 the Commissioners powers
In the premises. This opinion was printed 81 the
time in THE STAR and Was 10 the effect that the
Commissioner power TO change the act Of the
Legislative assembly was very vague. He sus-
gested that q bill be drafted and presented 20
Congress giving them undisputed rights 20
Commissioners decided upon the following ball,
which was sent TO Congress:
AN act authorizing the Commissioners Of
the District Of Columbia 20 make regulations
concerning steam railroads and for other pur-
poses BE IL enacted. &c.-Section 4.
That the Commissioners Of the District
OF Columbia be and they are hereby
empowered 20 make and enforce such
reasonable police regulations in regard 90
steam railroads in said District they NAV
deem advisable for the safety and health OF its
citizens and for the general convenience
and good order, and that such reCu-
lations 80 made by the Commissioners
shall have the same force and effect as il
enacted by Congress.
Sec. q That all laws and parts Of laws incon-
sistent with this act be and the same are
hereby repealed"

THE CAROLINEs AFFAIR.
Reparafion Demanded for Spanish Attack
ON American missionaries.

Reparation Demanded for Spanish Attacks
ON American Missionaries.
The American board Of commissioners for
foreign missions, located at Boston, after OBJ
tanning full reports Of the indignities practiced
upon its missionaries by the spaniards at
Ponapi has laid the case before Secretary
Blaine with demand for reparation- by the
last mail there was received detailed account
of the high-handed proceedings of the spaniards
and a careful statement of the trouble for
warded by Commander Taylor OF the L. 5. 5.
Alliance. The root Of the whole trouble is the
mistake of the Spaniards in supposing that the
missionaries melted or connived at the revolt
Of the natives.
That they did not do this il shown by their
own testimony and also by Commander lay
lor's Investigations.
When the Spanish government undertook to
extend its sphere Of influence to the Caroline
Islands q convention was entered into between
Madrid and Washington STIMULATING tina; the
American missionaries should be unmolested.
Despite this stipulation Mr.. Rand and his
workers have been treated guilty Of foment-
ing insurrection. but have been given no op-
portunity to prove their innocence.
Capt. Taylor arrived with the Alliance on
October l6 and after inquiring thoroughly into
the situation took the missionaries to Nuskaio,
800 miles distant. for safety. they. however. no.

MISSIONARY RASD's ACCOUNT.
Missionary Rand's account Of the occur
rences since May last is very full. The de-
mand made by the Spanish governor after the
battle in June was that the natives should give
up their arms or be exterminated. and he be-
sought the aid Of Mr.. Rand to induce them to
accept the former alternative. The missionary
spent four months in fruitless mediation and
was finally rsesrded by being refused personal
protection III case of war. AT last accounts the
Spaniards had 1000 fighting men 81 Ponapi.

away the freedom of the islanders.
The church. schools and dwellings of the
missionaries at Qua have been burned by Span
ish shells, and finally Spanish fortifcation.
church and priests house have been erected on
land belonging TO the American board and
within a few feet Of the mission buildings.
The demand which Will probably be made of
Spain Is the restoration of property DESTROYED,
and a guarantee of full protection for the
lives and labor Of American citizens in all
time 10 come.
NOTHING KNOWN AT THE LEGATION.
A special TO the New York Herald from WASH

THE INCREASING SURPLUS.
It Indicates a Return Of Confidence n
Growing Prosperity.

AuOAcateB u Return OF commence ana
Growing Prosperity.
In no way is the revival of business and the
return Of confidence in the money market after
the recent scare and stringency shown more
clearly than in the rapid increase of
the surplus. which has been mounting
up daily ever since the late troubles on
Wall street, until today it is considerably over
eighteen millions. This is directly due, to a
large measure, to the return of prosperity and
good feeling in the market, as it shows that
merchants are having ready money which
they are willing to use in taking imports out Of
bond and paying on them the customs duties.
The receipts, always larger than the expendi-
lures. now cause the surplus to rise daily,
especially as the Secretary is having rather
hard work to the offer Of four land half
per cent bonds in sufficient quantity to put
money out as fast as he would like. 1t is
not at all improbable that he will soon
make call for tours, so as to
put some Of the surplus into circulation with
out waiting for the necessity for such action
from tight money market. The silver pur-
chases, though heavy, are not enough to reduce
the surplus in the degree that the Secretary de-
Eires.

THE TONNAGE SUBSIDY BILL
Friends Of the shipping Bill Not ut All Sur
OF Its Passing the House.

The friends of the tonnage subsidy shipping
bill do not appear at all confident of its passage
through the House. To start with, there was
a strong opposition to the measure growing
out Of belief that the people of the west, par
ticularly, would not sanction it, and this oppo-
sition appears to have gained strength by dis
cussion.
reporter that he thought probably that it would
be well to try subsidy, and that some time
within the next ten years the trial would be
made. but he did not think that there was any
chance of the bill passing this Congress. He
said that twenty or thirty, not less than twenty,
republicans would vote against the bill
There are few democrats who will vote for
subsidy, but not enough to overcome the oppo-
sition ON the other side.

1t May BE Hung Up on Account Of Senators
WOlcott and Teller.
1t seems probable that the nomination of
ex-senator Hill of COLORADO as member of the
international monetary conference will be hung
up for while on account of the opposition OF
Senators Teller and Wolcott
They consider the nomination as an affront
to them, as the relations Of both with Mr.. Hill
arc very unfriendly. This opposition may not,
however, result in the rejection of the nomina-
ton, When Mr.. Teller was Secretary of the
Interior Mr.. Hill wrote q very savage attack
upon him, which caused considerable talk at
the time.
HOW ONE PIECE OF NEWS GOT OUT.
A curious story Of how news sometimes
gets out Is told in connection with this letter
1t was set up in type at the government print
ing Office. Some correspondents knew that the
letter had been written and wanted to get q
scoop" by publishing it before the Senator was
ready to give it out to all the
papers. They knew only in general way that
the letter was sensational, but they did not
know what was in it. One correspondent had
n friend in the printing Office and this friend,
being afraid to take q, proof in the ordinary
way and have the paper found on his person,
took . proof OF q certain part OF the let
ter he particularly wanted on the palms
Of his hands He walked down to Newspaper
row with his hands held to guard against blur
ring and in one of the Newspaper oiiices q copy
OF the proof was written out.
