Yesterdays Proceedings.
SAID General Grout, chairman Of the
House District Committee, to-day in ref
crence to the manner in which the District
Committee were deprived Of their day in
the House yesterday:
Eyes, they turned us SHOWN; they turned
us down despite our efforts to secure what
was our due. The Speaker called me up
happened from his stand point. He ex-
pressed himself as in favor of giving the
District fair show. Members on the
floor did the same thing. ! think that
will test the sincerity of these assertions
of good will and ask unanimous consent
that q day be set apart this week for the
consideration of District business. How
would be a great deal Of doubt involved
in the fate Of the proposition"
General Grout, chairman Of the House
District Committee, to-day received u
communication from the District Com
missioners inclosing q bill which they
state is necessary and which they recon-
eral Grout introduced the bill in the
House at once. Under its provisions
the Commissioners of the District are en-
powered to make and enforce such reason
able police regulations In regard to steam
railroads in the District as they may deem
advisable for the safety and health of its
citizens and for the general convenience
and good order, such regulations to have
the same force and effect as IL enacted by
Congress. There is not very much chance
Of the Commissioners being given the
drastic power that they want IN this par
ticular.
Mr.. lIemphill Will secure at the regular
meeting of the House District Committee
an Friday u favorable report upon bill
TO allow Mrs ii. NJ. Merrick to give deed

peared over three years ago and 1t is not
known where he Is, dead or otherwise.
Mr.. Hemphills measure will be in the
nature of an enabling act for the benc-
iiciary, who is one of the constituents OF
the Hon. Barnes Compton of Maryland.
The subcommittee OF the House Dis
trict Committee having in charge the

nifty. They are much encouraged at the

upon an island in the South Pacific
Ocean. He WAS the sole survivor of a
crew of 30, and fioated on spar for
several days before reaching the shore.
He finally found himself in cave

Chinese opium joint and Chinese
lottery are in full blast in nearly every
county in the State, According to our

the law concerning lotteries is known

managers profess the utmost indiffer-

that they enjoy an immunity not
