DISCUSSED By SENATORS.
The reply Of the Commissioners when laid
before the Senate provoked an interesting dis
eussicn- Mr.. Edmunds severely arraigned the
Commissioners. charging that they had violated
the law and defed the will Of Congress.

Dir. Chandler said that no doubt the electric
railway is great continuance. but he asked if
the electric motor did not necessarily carry a

property. Mr.. Chandler lad supposed thatto
more overhead wires were TO be erected and he
sincerely hoped that the permit conferred on
the corporation would be revoked
Mr. Henderson said he did not want to see
the streets Of the city cut up and disfigured by
poles. IL it were contemplated 20 permit the
erection OF poles that ought to be stopped.
Mr.. Henderson said he had had occasion to
look into the subject of electric railways
There were three systems. the one most in use
being that Of stringing wires for the motive
power on poles This was Objectionable not
only because Of the unsightliness of the poles
and wires, but IL was a constant danger 10 the
lives OF passersby. Another System was By
wires under ground This was less objection

and one he believed destined to saDsrsede ali
others. was that known the battery

Mr.. Morgan said that in Montgomery, the
capital OF Alabama. there was an electric rail-

iect he had found that any electrical current
could be used ior the propulsion Of cars tina;
would not be dangerous TO life.

CAPT. sYnoNs REPORT.
The annual report of Capt. Symons assistant
to the Engineer Commissioner, published Oc-
tober l, discussed the electric wire question,
and said: 1T has been the aim OF this office to
restrain the growth of the overhead wire sys-
TEN IN every possible way consistent with
proper service to tine public. An irrepressible
coniiiet IS going on all over the country against
overhead wires in the city Streets and the will
OF the people Is that they must be buried and
buried they viii be just as as their main-
tenance overhead Is absolutely stopped"
OFFICIALLY CONDEMNED.
The electric wire problem has been considered
since the discussions referred to above on var
ious occasions. and the reports of the District
Commissioners well as the action of Congress
has on every occasion reaflirmed the policy that
no overhead wires are 20 be permittedin Wash-
ington. The elaborate report now before Com
gress. made by the board of electrical experts
appointed by the President in accordance with
an act o. Congress TO consider the whole SUBJ
ject OF electric wires, discussed the matter of
electric railways and pronounced against the
overhead wire system for large cities. The re-
port said:
Considering that only five years have
| elapsed since the first electric street railway
was laid in the United States the fac. that such
| tramways are operated in over 600 Cities with
| an aggregate OF S,oo0 miles OF such track in
operation. leaves no room for doubt as 10 their
| future practicability The question with then,
as with the overhead wires for other electrical
service as 70 adoption of underground wiring
| Is one largely OF cost In small cities where
the traffic upon streets is light or upon the less
populous sections o: large cities the OBJECTIONS
| 70 poles and overhead wires are largely mat
ter OF sentiment. In the pooulous sections OF
large cities the same Objections to overhead
electric service as applied to telegraph and
electric light poles and wires are tenablc.
/ There can be no doubt OF the practieabiiity
Of underground wiring in the matter Of e;ectris
propulsion, but 50 long as the street railway
companies can obtain the permit they will no,

dollars per mile TO their investments

Tho Second Night Scores another Success.
Some Variations OF The Programme.
The second performance OF the Elk
celsior minstrels ut the Opera House
last night again packed tho theatre.
The perform ancc went of in some re.
spects better than OH tho opening
night. Tho programme was varied
somewhat from that OF Tuesday night,
but the features were the same, and for
the main part an Improvement was no.
ticeable. The smoothness with which
everything moved off reflected great
credit on the stage manager, Ed 3.
Franzheim, while the enjoyable charac-
ter OF the first part was due largely to
1%ntcrlocutor Charles List.
\ new feature was introduced last
night in the shape OF 4 plantation
melody by Brother Sam Brubakcr, who
received an ovation, and surprised
those of his friends who did not know
what a vocalist he is. This was followed
by Il dance by Mayor Scabright, which
created greater enthusiasm than any
other performance which was rs brief.

The best joke of tho two nights
