NOISE FROM THE CABLE ROAD.
Senator Morrill, recently complained to the
Commissioners that the noise of the cable cars
at Thomas Circle was q great annoyance to him,
and the rumbling OF the wheels disturbed his
rest considerably. He thought that il the
tracks were creased the noise would
be reduced to minimum Commits
sioner Parker wrote q letter to President Hurt
asking if he could not do something in the
matter. In a letter to the Commissioners to-
day David s. CARL, the engineer of the road,
SAYS hefinds the noise is done away with by greas-
ing the walls of the rails at q slight expense
but after the rails are CREASED it is almost i'm
possible to stop on the short tangents between

In an opinion rendered today says

amount OF benefits apportioned to his lot and

Presiden With the French Bank.
NHw YORK, March 31-The story brought
from San Domingo yesterday BY some passen-
gers on the steamer Saginaw to the effect that
the president Of San Domingo had broken into

derstanding had occurred between his govern
ment and France over the settlement of a su-
preme court decision in favor of President Hue
reaux in his personal capacity who had sued
the French bank at San Domingo City for
e62, 900.
The bank officials declined to obey the Or
ders OF the supreme court, and upon its threat
to enforce its decree appealed to the French
consul, who protested and called for the sup
port Of a man-of-war then in port
This was the situation of affairs ten DAYS
ago.
The consul generals mail by the Saginaw
yesterday contained the governments reply to
this protest OF the French consul. 1t was in
effect that the government Of San Do
mlngo could not interfere with judicial
DEGREES OF the supreme court unless
refusal 20 to do would precipitate conflict,
and that If the government receded from this
position it would only be under strong protest.
Vasquez's communication, which was only
semi-oficial, stated further that the matter was
as yet in allegiance.
