Russo-German commercial treaty passed
that measure today by vote of 1G to IL.
Emperor William has congratulated Count

Count Won Doenhoff recently was quoted
by the Tageblatt as having said last week
at political meeting, that Prince Bis
marck had asserted that the rejection of
the Russo-German commercial treaty would
inevitably be followed by a usso-German
war. On Tuesday last. in the reichstag,
Count Herbert Won Bismarck demanded of
Count Won DOenhof explanation of the
statement attributed to his father by the
Tageblatt. Count Won Doenhoff thereupon
admitted that he based his statement en-

10th Street.
The residents and property owners slone
10th street are clamoring for a change in
the name of that street. Several DAYS ago
a monster petition was presented to the
Commissioners praying that the name of
the street be changed to Executive ave-
nue..
The papers were sent TO Captain Powell.
who Endorsed them as follows:
Il do not favor changing the name of
10th street northwest to Executive ave-
nue.. If this north and south street Is IN
be called an avenue contrary to the system
OF street names in Washington. Columbia
avenue seems TO be preferable to Execu-
tive avenue. Such former name would be
after the District of Columbia and there
fore less of an exception to the system of
avenue designations. There need be no
interference or confusion on account of
the present name of Columbia road which
name should be changed and which IS pro-
posed to be changed to California avenue
under authority of present law. BY the
highway extension plan Columbia road ex-
tended is prolonged to New Hampshire ave
nue. OF Petworth addition. The street more
nearly in proiongation of Columbia ROAD at
its western end is the present California

MOruiny.

NEW YORK, March 8.-A stubborn fire
started in the four-story fat house at G2e
Sth avenue at 2 o'clock this morning and
pefore 1t was extinguished three other
houses were damaged, one man was burned
to death. several others were injured and
$4,000 damage was done.
No. 62S Sth avenue is Harry Liskis
restaurant and at o'clock a bright blaze
was noticed In the rear by young man
who was passing. A policeman was found
and an alarm turned in. In the meant time
the blaze had gained rapid Roadway and
the whole lower floor was in flames. The
flames spread to the stairway cutting
on all escape for the people upstairs.
VIM. Schneeweis lives on the first floor
and had rope fire escape, down which
he and several other tenants in the block
escaped.
Mrs. Heatherton, a woman sixty-eight
years old, started down the rope, but lost
her grip and fell. breaking her ankle.
The fire spread to the adjoining houses
in Sth avenue, Nos. 62S and $50 then to a
stable in the rear. Nos. $50 and 2I1 West

the MOODY MEETINGS.
General Satisfaction Expressed With
the Work Of the Evangelist.

General Satisfaction Expressed With
the Work of the Evangelist.
The people who were the most interested
In making the arrangements for the Moody
meetings, and who have been active in as
sisting the great revivalist, express great
satisfaction with what has been accom-
plished. The results, they say, cannot be
tabulated in mere figures for tine influence
Of such series of meetings, stretching
over period Of a month, is beyond the
range of the mere statistician. This is the
opinion Of Rev. DIR. William A. Bartlett, the
pastor Of the New York Avenue Church,
Star man, said that now the work of reap
ing the harvest would begin, and the
churches would gather in those who had
been reached by the earnest efforts that
had been put forth. He expressed great
satisfaction with the work of MIR. Moody,
and said that perhaps, never before had he
been accorded such a reception.
AS FAR as he knew, there had been no op-
position from any source to the meetings,
and the unity which exists here among the
dlnerent denominations had been developed
by these meetings. All the churches he
said had worked together in unison to
make Mr.. Moody's stay here as fruitful as
possible. and this cooperate ton among the
denominations. he thought, was an excel
lent thing, even if no other result had been
attained. But he was confident that the
seed that had been sown would bring forth
frult, and that the process of gathering in,
which would be assisted by the special meet
lnss which will be held in the different
churches during the next few weeks will
aod strength to the churches of this city.

Lord Mayors Toast.
LONDON, March S-The lord mayor
gave banquet last evening to the masters
of the city companies. The guests included
United States Ambassador Bayard, Baron
Halsbury and Prof. Goodwin Smith. After
toasts to loyalty had been proposed the
lord mayor offered toast to Mr.. Bayard,
who, in responding, said that in speaking
TO such an assembly it was scarcely pos
sible to say what thoughts surged through
Americans heart in mixing with the
race from which his own was derived. AL
though the branch was broken the root re-
manned. He believed that the prosperity
of England and the United States was
entirely consistent. AS one grew stronger
the other would become securer. There
was nothing in British prosperity that met
from him anything but the echo God speed
it," There was nothing in the advancement
of his own country that he felt was not
perfectly secure for the honor and great
ness of England The tie existing between
England and the United States was such
as existed between no other two nations
on earth.

preciating merchandise. and of which so
much has been made by bimetallists who

WAITING FOR A DECISION,
Why the Work of Removing the Nov
York Avenue Parking is Slammed


York Avenue Parking is STONED,
A halt has been called in the matter of
removing the parking on New York ave-
rue between 9th and 10th streets north
west. 1t will be recalled that orders were
issued to begin this work some DAYS ago.
Proceedings were taken under the last an
preparation act, in which il was provided
that this work should be done under the
compulsory permit system, and that
wherever new sidewalks or curbs are laid
upon streets being improved one-half the
cost should be assessed against the abut-
ting property.
Before the work was commenced the
attorney was requested to give his opinion
as to whether it was necessary to give
notice OF such improvements to property
owners.
In reply Attorney Thomas SAYS:
'lnasmuch as the Court of Appeals has
nov before II some cases involving the
compulsory permit system 1 would suggest
that this matter be deferred until We have
the advantage of the opinion of the court
i'm those cases. which 1 apprehend will be
handed down in the course of a week or
ten days at the farthest.'
