DISTRICT LEGISLATION.

The promoters of the seven and half
millions bond issue will have to hustle to get
that measure through the present session of
Congress. There is serious disagreement be-
tween the House and Senate and the bill will
lie over unless Influence" is brought to bear
without delay. The House proposes TO thrust
the burden on the District but the Senate
generous, liberal body-is willing to divide re-
spousibilities with the government
Three important street railway bills have
passed Congress this session, which were re-
modelled on new lines by both Senate and House
when reported by the committees. A fourth bill
changing the Fourteenth street cable is under
consideration, but it is doubtful If anything
will be done with it until next winter.
The Printing Office bill is dead, at least for
the present, although no more popular or
more needed District measure has come be-
fore Congress. Tho Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds has reported favora-
bly, on the bill locating the municipal build
ing in Judiciary Square, and as this location
seems satisfactory the bill may be acted upon.
The bin to increase the water supply and
the free library bill may both pass Congress
the present session, provided the adjourn
ment is deferred until the latter part of next
week. Both are popular measures and will
not meet much opposition. The assessment

JOHN L. VOGT DEAD.
He Came Penniless to Washington. but
Built Up Successful Business.

He Came Penniless to Washington. but
Built Up Successful Business.
John L. Vogt. one OF Washington's most
prominent citizens and successful business
men, died at O'Clock last evening at his
home. No. COT street northwest, where he
has lived for a number of years past.
Mr.. Vogt was confined to his room for
three months previous TO his death suffering
from cancer. Arrangements for the funeral
have not yet been completed, but the services
may be held tomorrow in the First Reformed
German Lutheran Church.
MIR. Vogt was born in Wurtemburg Ger
many, ftty-nine years ago. and at the age of
fourteen emigrated TO the United States. COM
ing direct to Washington. He was penniless
and without friend in the city, but soon
found employment as an apprentice in Knorrs
bakery, where he served hts time learning the
and also Patterson, in the latter bakery as
foreman for several years.
He succeeded Patterson in the business and
built UP large trade, which he continued to
supply until three years ago, when he sold
out to Messrs. Schneider and Berens and re-
tired. At the time of his death Mr. yogt was
a prominent member of National Lodge, No.
IL, F. a. A. NJ; De Molay Commandery, No.
4. Knights Templar; Almas Temple OF the
Mobiles Of the Mystic Shrine, and of the First
Reformed Lutheran Church. He was also
director Of the Second National Bank, Riggs
Fire Insurance Company, and the German
Orphan Asylum.

CIRCULATION FOR THE PAST WEEK
THE REPORTED AGREEMENT.

It is reported that the conference committee
is about to wind up its sttinxs with a COM
promise between President Cleveland and
Senator German. President Cleveland wanted
free coal, free iron ore, and a tariff on sugar,
and Senator German demanded duty on ali
three Of those articles, so the committee had
only to split the difference, which it did by
placing iron ore on the free list and retaining
the coal and sugar schedules of the German
bill. Great is peace and welcome is the
Cleveland-Gorman compromised true.
As the matter now stands the sugar trust is
the only factor in the contest that is coming
out of it without being defeated. President
Cleveland surrenders to Senator German and
Senator German surrenders to President
Cleveland. The Senate lays down to the
House and the House lays down to the Sem
ate, while the trust pockets the spoils and
comes out of the battle unscathed and un-
smirched, If 1t had anything to smirch.
The result OF this successful attempt by the
trust to control legislation will be free sugar,
possibly this session. If the Louisiana Sena-
tors stand out for bounty and vote against
tuc plll thoicbN
tariff legislation, a free sugar bill will pass
both houses in spite Of the trust and its con-
stituent Senators. The public demands a
dofeat of the present sugar schedule in the
interests of honesty and good legislation,
and free sugar must be the inevitable result.
1t is impracticable to estimate the benefits
OF the new tariff bill at present. even If an
agreement has been reached. There are other
important schedules besides those reported
on which there were serious disagreements,
and no doubt other concessions have been
made. When the facts are known and the actual
saving in tariff taxation is made public the
change from the Mckinley law will be well
coined by the public. The worst stigma at
tached to the bill is the influence of the sugar
trust, and that can only be removed with
change in the Senate.
