CONCERNS OF THE DISTRICT.

Substitute Bill for New Municipal Build
ing-curtailment of Police Pensions.
Decisions us to Reviewing Stands.
The Commissioners have sent to the House
Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds
the draft of substitute bill for IL municipal
1t Is to be fire-proof building and capable OF
holding all the offices of the District govern
ment, as also the courts 1t is not to cost
more than 81. 500, 900, and prizes are to be
offered for suitable plans for the building.
The best plan is to receive $4,000 and the
designer Is to be employed; and so, 500 are to
be given for the second and third best plans.
respectively. All labor is to be done by con-
tract or days work. The sumAof 800, 900 Is
to be appropriated for the beginning OF the
work. The commission TO approve the plans
are two Commissioners, the United States
marshal, the supervising architect OF the
Treasury, and the architect of the Capitol.
Major Moore yesterday informed the Com
missioners that he had been informed that
there was no prospect for a police pension bill
being passed by the present Congress. He
recommended therefore that certain curtail-
ments be made in the pensions Of those on
the roll This, he thinks, would enable the
department to tide over the Summer and Fall
months with the funds that will be available.
Auditor Petty said that the reductions
ould be made among those who received
large pensions and who were getting other
aid. The pensions of the widows and chill
dren would not be touched. The reduction
effects quite a number of the sixty-eight on the
rolls. The scaling down reduces the roll from
81 900 to 81 100 per month. The .Commis-
sioners issued an order approving the recon-
mendation of Major Moore.
Richard Goodhart chairman Of the execu-
tive committee Of the Knights of Pythias' eel
ebration, has been informed by the Commis-
sioners that the regulations limits the exten-
sion OF reviewing stands over sidewalks to
two and half feet, and they deem it inadvis-
able to depart from that regulation in order
to allow the use Of the southeast corner of
the Treasury Department for the purpose of
erecting reviewing stand thereon.
Engineer Commissioner Powell has recon-
mended that Harewood avenue, LeDroit Park,
be placed on the schedule for roadway pave
ment.
In regard to the petition Of property owners
on Sixteenth street, between Florida avenue
and Morris street, requesting the grading of
parking and sidewalk In front Of their prop
erty, Engineer Commissioner Powell has
recommended that the parking belonging TO
the District be graded when funds permit.
but that no grading Of private parks be made
at public expense.
The application OF NJ. j. Weller for sewer
on Sixteenth street from Minnesota avenue
to Good Hope road. Anacostia, has been re-
fused by the Commissioners.

BEGAN roo LATE.

Senators Did Not Score Until the Eighth
Inning.
PrTrsBuRe. June 26.-The wind was blow
ing gale across Exposition Park this after
noon when the Senators made rally that
almost won the game and gave Manager
Buckenberger fright from which he will not
recover for several days. 1t all occurred in
the eighth and ninth innings, when every
thing indicated that a severe storm would
break over the field any minute, but the rain
held off and the players were tormented with
clouds of dust instead.
For seven innings Ehret was master of the
situation. He was pitching ball, and the
Senators were not getting more than one hit
an inning. He even made good start in the
eighth inning, retiring Ward and Hassamaer.
and Manager Buckenberser was figuring upon
a shut-out when the dust storm came. Um-
pire McQuaid called time, but ordered the
men to resume play a few minutes later. and
then the fun began.
Scheibeck couldn't see Carwrights fiv
until the ball was over his head, and It was
good for three bases. Cartwright scored
Washington's first run on Maguire's clean
single Abbey followed with another hit but
both were left on bases as Selbach struck out.
Tebeau was the first out in the last inning,
and then came more fireworks. Radford
singled and scored on Sullivan's home run.
Ward hit to right, Hassamaer got a base on
balls and Cartwright's hit scored Ward.
Mcguire lined safe one to left sending Has
samaer across the plate, giving the Senators a
total of five runs Only one was needed TO
tie the score. and the crowd was nervous.
Abbey flied to Bierbauer and Seloach struck
out, however. losing the game for the visitors
by a narrow margin.
Excepting in the sixth inning. when he was
touched up for four hits, gave a base on balls,
and a wild pitch. giving Pit;sburg four runs,
Sullivan was effective. base on balls. a
steal, and single gave Pittsburg run in the
second, and Tebeau's error was responsible
for another in the third. Two singles and a
sacrifice resulted in run In the fourth.

RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS.
Postmaster General Tells Congress Ht
Many Have Been Dismissed.

Postmaster General Tells Congress How
Many Have Been Dismissed.
The Postmaster General has replied to the
House resolution calling for information as to
the railway mail clerks dismissed between
March 4 and May l, 1889.
Records show. he writes, that 1,43s were
dismissed, that 262 probationary clerks whose
terms expired were not appointed, and 224
clerks died. There were 927 clerks whose re-
movals were dated before May /, but who
served after that date. During that period
SS7 were reinstated and 1,212 were reinstated
after May l, although the papers bore earlier
dates.
It had been decided to place the railway
mail service under the Civil Service regula-
tions on March 4, 1889, but President Harri-
son extended the date to May and Demo-
Gratis have claimed that the extension was to
give time for discharge Of Democrats and
reinstatement Of Republicans who had been
dismissed under the Democratic administra-
ton. This claim inspired the resolution

TO TAX INDIAN LANDS.
Official Views Of the Interior Departmel
on the Pending Bill.

Official Views of the Interior Department
on the Pending Bill.
The ofiicial views Of the Interior Depart
ment on the bill making allotted Indian lands
subject to state and local assessments and
taxation as any other similarly located lands
are given In communication forwarded by
the Commissioner Of Indian Affairs to the
chairman Of the House Committee on Indian
Affairs. Commissioner Browning says:
"The exemption Of o large body OF land
within the limits Of q county works great
hardship on the white taxpayers Of the
county. So far a. the interests Of the Indians
are concerned the enactment OF the proposed
legislation would meet with NO possible OBJ
jection from them. On the contrary It would
result In more cordial relations between the
Indians and the white citizens. Whether the
burden which now has to beborne by people
In the immediate vicinity OF allotted lands
should be shifted to all the people Of the
United States may be safely left to the wise
discretion of Congress"
Several minor amendments to the bill are
suggested.

TO EXTEND APPROPRIATIONS.
Chairman Sayres viii Present the Gus
tOmary Resolution Today.

tomary Resolution To-day.
Chairman Sayres of the House Committee
on Appropriations, will present a resolution
to-day extending appropriations for thirty
days from the opening of the fiscal year.
This action was recently authorized by the
Appropriation Committee, but Mr.. Sayres
withheld the resolution in hopes the Senate
might pass some of the appropriation bills
before the new fiscal year. 1t has become
evident. however, that the Senate could not
act on anything beyond the tariff this week.
and as Saturday closes the present fiscal
year the resolution extending present appro-
priations is necessary to keep the wheel of
government in motion.
The resolution will make available about
s41, ,000, 900, or one-twelfth of the total of this
