Commissioners Considering whether
to Recommend II or Not.
The Commissioners were in executive ses-
sion today discussing the estimates Of the
amount Of money required by them In the
proper conduct of the affairs OF the Dis
trict for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1886.
According to the law now in existence
governing District appropriations the Com
missioners are required to submit TO Con-
gress an estimate of the total amount Of
money required for this purpose each year
This estimate. If accepted by Congress. is
proportioned as follows:
One half of the total amount liz appropri-
ated by Congress from the funds in the
the amount received by the District in
payment of taxes, &c. II in case the reve-
nues of the District fall short of the
amount required to make up its one half
of the expense fund, the appropriation by
Congress is proportionately curtailed.
The heads of the various bureaus under
the District government have been per-
sonally examined by the. Commissioners
the proper conduct of the departments un-
der their immediate supervision.
Careful consideration Is being given to
the question of asking for a $4,000, coo loan
to be used in improvements of streets and
roads In the city and suburbs. This loan
IL authorized. will eff course necessitate the
noating OF bonds. The question of interest
in this connection has not as yet been dis
cussed, but the Commissioners are in favor
OF floating bonds bearing Interest at the
rate of about or per cent per annum to
run ten. twenty and thirty years.
Out OF the SO 009. 900 that will probably be
asked for the engineer department asks
that one-half be given IL for the construc-
ton of necessary sewers throughout the
District. The necessity for increased sew
erage facilities daily becomes more ap-
parent, and IL Il is decided to request the
loan, II is thought that this concession TO
the engineer department will be granted
The estimates will be submitted to Con-
gress about October i.

bismarck kisses Pretty Girls.

from the Detroit Free Press.
bismarck has won the hearts OF all the
German women for his exhibition Of thu
fondness for kissing fresh young faces for
which Gen. Sherman was so famous,
LII F1nzelberg, a young German sculp-
tress, went with her sister to call upon Ris-
marck In kissengen. His habit is to let
devoted women kiss his hand. When ieav-
ing these young women tried to kiss his
hand but the prince said: Hold on: We Will
do that much simpler"
He then laid hold of the two girls and
gave each several loud, hearty kisses. The
result is that both young women have be-
come famous throughout the empire
Bfsmarck's habit of letting women kiss
his hand has given rise to a strange Gus
tom. In certain circles women make col
lections of kisses of celebrated men. Some
of these are valuable and most interesting
more so than all the stamp and coin col
lections in the world.
Real Bismarck kisses however. are ex-
ceedingly rare. and the Finzelberg girls are
the envy of all kiss collectors.
