CITY'S GAS SUPPLY
To Be Investigated by the House
District Committee.
CHARGES OF INFERIOR QUALITY.
The Resolutions Say Clerks Eyes
Are Being Damaged.
MR.. OUTHWAITE'S REMARKS.

The gas supply OF Washington is to be in
vestigated by Congress. In the House this
morning Mr.. Outhwaite introduced a reso-
luton reciting that "the contract with the
Washington Gas Light and Coke Company
for supplying the District OF Columbia with
gas expired June 30. 1881. Whereas the gas
furnished and supplied by the said company
Is OF an inferior quality and not equal to the
standard Of gas used in other cities, and
whereas. by the continuance OF said contract
the residents Of the District of Columbia do
not receive a good and efficient light for
ordinary use. and whereas the eye-sight Of
clerks employed in government buildings is
being impaired by this inferior gas supplied
by the said company, and whereas, in the
act Of March 3. 1893. the Commissioners Of
the District were directed to investigate
ascertain and report to the first session OF
the Fffty-third Congress what deduction
may be made for gas and electric lighting
potn Tor annual, hve-year and ten-year con-
tracts and that they be authorized to invite
proposals for supply OF said lights at re-
duced rates. and whereas said report has
not as yet been made,
Directed to Investigate.
Therefore. it is resolved that the COM
mittee on the District Of Columbia Of the
House be directed to investigate the work.

ployed In operating said company; what
dividends, II any, are declared annually;
what method is employed in manufactur-
Ing the gas supplied to the consumers
whether or not the gas is equal in quality
TO that used in other cities; whether 1t is
OF that quality as IL is reported by said COM
pany to be; what pressure is used in fore

vision fnr %

nation that may be Of any value to this
House to determine whether or not the said
company is in any wise violating the ap-
piled purpose Of the franchise granted it."
Resolution Adopted.
The resolution also carried an appropria-
ton of 5000 to pay the expenses of the in
vestigation. but, upon the suggestion of
Mr.. kilgore 1t was stricken out, Mr. Rich
ardson Of the District committee agreeing
that there Is no necessity for an appropria-
ton. Mr.. Outhwaite explained that the gas
furnished the citizens. as well as the gov
ernment, is Of very inferior quality, but
that the citizens have no recourse unless
the government takes hod.
Several members agreed with Mr.. Outh-
waite that 1t was bad quality OF gas. The
resolution was agreed to without debate.

committee said today that the committee

SOME VIOLENT TALK.
What a Nevada Man Said i'm Discul
ing the silver Question. u

What a Nevada Man Said I'm Discuss-
ing the silver Question. u stSv
correspondent of The Star writes: On
returning from the Capitol at a late hour
last night, the, writer was accosted by a
man who wished to be directed to Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
The direction being given. the stranger
at once plunged into a harangue regarding
the speech that was then being made upon
the floor Of the Senate by Senator Stewart
of Nevada, and upon the silver question
generally. He appeared to be a man Of
intelligence. Claimed to be from the state
Of Nevada and stated that he had been a
warm supporter Of Senator Stewart for a
number Of years. He commended the SEN
timents and position of the Senator, and
asserted that he was making a battle royal
in advocacy of the protection and welfare
Of the interests Of the people whom he
represented.
The mans language then became violent
and startling He He fieresly iis Denounced u the
standard people of the east and charged
that they had made paupers Of the resi-
dents of the silver states, and were fast
bringing about condition of things in
that section that was driving men to des-
peration.
He. himself. he claimed. had. until recent
ly, been making three hundred dollars per
were closed down. and he, with many thou
sands Of others were without means Of sup
port. AS far as he was concerned. he
''would not hesitate he said. Ito go to
the White House and cut Cleveland's s
throat" If 1t was possible for him to do
so 1.-The President he continued. could
not come out to his country and walk four
miles into the country without being as
sassinated."
During this deliverance the man was
calm, but appeared to be desperately in
earnest. When reminded that no true Amer
lean would utter such sentiments, or
threats he quickly retorted that he fully
meant what he said, and that his utter
ances were born of a desperation brought
about by being deprived Of his daily sup
port.
1t may be said that this was but the raw
ing of a fanatic, or of a crazy man. from
whom no danger need be feared. But
whether this be a fact or not, the writer
entertains the belief that attention should
be called in the most public way to the
presence in our midst of men and charac-
ters possessed of such views and imagin-
ings, in order that any attempted violent
or untoward action on their part may be
guarded against.

SENATE TACTICS.
Rumors Of a Compromise Proposed
by the Administration.
RECESS TILL MONDAY PROBABLE.
Republicans No Longer Trusted by
the Repeal Managers.
THE SILVER MEMS PLANS.

There has been no decided change in the
situation in the Senate since yesterday,
and none Is expected today. The program
arranged for the guidance of each side is
being carried out without substantial de-
Walton Mr.. Voorhees,, as he indicated yes
terday, will keep his bill to the front as
long as a quorum will remain with him.
On their side the silver men will fill in the
time Of the daily sessions with set speeches,
and when the attempt is made to protract
the, sitting beyond the daylight hours they
will resort to openly obstructive tactics, to
weary their opponents with the least pos
sible expe nditure Of vital force on their
part.
A Recess Until Monday.
It is expected that today's session will
not be prolonged beyond the usual hour
of adjournment because it is the last day
of the week and everybody is thoroughly
tired out. The present program. however.
SO far as the repealers are concerned. is to
take a recess instead Of an adjournment
at the close of the day. The ostensible
purpose Is to do away with the morning
hour Monday and thus give more time for
the consideration of the repeal bill. The
silver men may, however. oppose a recess

apply the rule forbdding a Senator to
speak twice in the same legislative day on
the same subject.
Republicans Not Trusted.
The republican Senators now appear to
have lost the confidence of the repeal man.
ayers and they are not advised as to their
plans. This has caused some slight resent
ment and in certain quarters there Is felt
degree Of hesitation as to the force Of the
obligation to follow the lead Of the demo-
cratic repealers, II 1t should tend toward
compromise that srnaoks OF q desire to
secure whatever OF party advantage may be
obtained by standing out to the end for un-
conditional repeal, even II that course should
defeat a compromise proposition that Is
approved by the administration.
A RumOred Compromise.
There was q rumor current among the
silver men this morning that the admins
tration was framing a compromise measure
based on reduced purchases Of silver-prob-
ably two or two and half million dollars
worth per month-until a total of $50. .0OO. 900
worth of bullion has been purchased, and
the coinage Of the seigniorage now in the
treasury. This proposition has some at
traction for the silver men, because 1t
would perpetuate the principle Of silver
purchases and also because IT would re-
move the necessity for further legislation
on the subject beyond Mr.. Cleveaand's ad-
ministration. But the most diligent inquir-
les among the democratic Senators failed
to disclose any knowledge on their part Of
such an amendment.

THEY WANT STREET RAILROADS.
Mt. Pleasant Citizens to Talk to the
District Com mi ssiOncrs.

Next Wednesday the representatives of
the residents Of Mount Pleasant will have
a hearing before the Commissioners in re-
gard to street railroad facilities for that
section. There are two bills now before
Congress in which the people Of that
vicinity are very much interested, not,
however, for what the bills authorize the
companies to do. but for what they fail
to require to be done. For example, one Of
these bills that which proposes to grant an
extension to the Rock Creek railroad, pro-
vides that tracks shall be laid from Florida
avenue down 18th street to the center of the
city. But the people Of Mount Pleasant
think thatif 17th street Is to be occupied
the road should be built all the way out to
Mount Pleasant. They propose to ask the
Commissioners to have this amendment
suggested. The other bill will, II made
law, give to a new corporation known as
the Washington Traction Company the
right to run over certain city streets. and
among others 17th street. The Importance
of railroad on the northern portion of
this street will be impressed in this case
also upon the minds of the Commissioners.
The Mount Pleasant people trust that some
bill will be passed that will give them the
additional facilities, which the character
and extent Of the population in that sec
ton Of the suburbs. they believe. fully war
rant.

A NARROW ESCAPE,
For Two Buildings This MorninI
From a Big Fire.

The handsome new home Of the Palais
Royal was in danger this morning when
fire started in the Scottish Rite Sanctuary,
adjoining. 1t was about 3:25 O'Clock when
William Trimble. the janitor. was awakened
by the falling Of burning timbers. He was
N his room on the fourth floor at the time
and when he was awakened he saw the
roof over his head ablaze. Electric light
wires had caused the trouble and, although
there had been a heavy downpour Of rain,
the flames made their way through the
roof, and the janitor could see through the
opening made by the fire.
From the appearance of the path of the
flames the janitor thought he had been de-
prived of means of escape, but, grabbing
his clothes and watch. he made his way
through the smoke-filled hallway just un-
der the burning timbers, and managed to
get to the stairway. where he was certain
M escaping. Putting on his clothes, he
! sade his way to the front door below. The
Fl We had attracted the attention of a police
m an, who made a vain attempt to sound
an alarm from the nearest fre-alarm box.
Earfier in the night the storm had damaged
the wires 50 that 1t was impossible to get
an alarm to headquarters. The Palais
ROYAL telephone was then used. but with
the same result and the officer had 10 run

fire department. The flames had spread

special reception by the President in honor
of the governor of the state of New Jersey
and other distinguished citizens from that

Jersey and the District of Columbia.
They were accompanied by Commissioner
Ross. Gen. Ordway and Col. Mosher OF the
District National Guard. The reception was
entirely informal. Commissioner Ross made
the presentations, with the assistance Of
Gen. Ordway. The President was cordial in
his manner and had a pleasant chat with
Gov. Werts, ex-Gov. Green and others Of
the party. The members of the governor s
staff were in full uniform and made a de-
cidedly handsome appearance.
Visit To Mr.. McAdOO.

Mr. Mcclure Continues His Rema rks
ON the Bill.

Mr.. Riley Penn) asked and received
unanimous consent for the adoption OF a
resolution calling on the attorney for infor-
nation as to the receivership Of the Union
Pacific Railroad Company. whether the
United States had notice of, or was made a
party to such proceedings, and whether
such proceeding affected the interest of the
United States. Mr.. Outhwaite (Ohio) asked
for continuation of the resolution directing
the committee on the District of Columbia
to investigate the workings of the Wash
ington Gas Light Company. Mr.. Kilgore
(Iex.) said that the resolution was most
appropriate. If there was any persons on
