Bills suhmi,ted for p.,

Bills Submitted for Report.
The following House bills were subr,i,,aa
to the Commissioners TODAY for ra,or,.
TO number and renumber the entire MS
trict of Columbia by squares: TO regulate
taxation In the District Of Columbia Nda-
gulre bib, and to regulate the telephone
service in the District of Columbia
Druggists and the Liquor Law.
Several days ago the attention of the
Commissioners was called to a new prac-
lice Of violating the liquor law regarding
druggists
The law provides that il shall be unlawful
Tor druggists to sell intoxicating LIQUOR
except upon the prescription of a physi-
can. 10 eVade the law prescription blanks
are nlled out and signed hctitiously for
Spts. trumenti" which is the Latin for
whisky. The attorney for the District. Mr
. l. Thomas. WAS asked to submit an opin-
Ion whether the law as to druggists fuifills
the intention OF the law makers. Mr.. Thom-
as says:
Druggists are only permitted to sell in
toxlcatlng liquors on the prescription OF a
physician. They should see to IL that such
prescriptions are signed by reputable ply
slclans. 4 think the liquor law SO far ss
druggists are concerned does fulan the in
tention OF the law makers. 1t would be a
great burden upon druggists in particular
ana an inconvenience to the people gener-
ally 10 require druggists absolutely and an
their peril to know the genuine signature
or every physician whose prescription comes
to them 1t seems to me that such a re-
quirement would be unreasonable .
The law permits druggists to sell only On
tne prescription OF a reputable physician
This comprehends that the physician shall
sign his name TO the prescription. A phy-
sician signing his surname with the addi-
ton of NJ. ID. after IL is not his signature
within the meaning OF the law regulating
the sale of intoxicating liquors"

SENATOR HILLS ATTITUDE.
Uncertain Whether He VIII Finally
Vote for the Bill.

Senator Germans practical assurance, in
his speech yesterday. that the democratic
party In the Senate was now united In sup
port Of the tariff bill has led to a renewal of
the speculation as to the attitude of Sena-
tor Hill There is a difference of opinion as
to whether Mr.. German meant to include
Senator Hill on the list of supporters, or to
create the impression that the bill would
have the support of a democratic majority
without HIPS assistance. but II is consider
ed probable by those high in the counsels of
the Maryland Senator that he had assur-
ance that the bill would have the support
OF MS New York colleague when the final test
should come On the BILL and there is a
growing impression in the Senate chamber
that Mr. Hill will vote for the bill
He has said since his return from New
YORK thai he would not offer any opposl-
tion TO the tariff features of the BILL which
Is taken 70 mean that while he is still I'M
reconc1led 10 the income tax, he Is disposed
10 accept the other parts of the bill as the
pest ootainable, and concentrate his oppo-
sition upon the income tax Members of
the nnance committee say that this provi-
sion will be retained at all hazards, and
tney are beginning TO think that Mr.. Hill
Will accept the bill in the end with this pro-
vision in its modified form. Mr.. Hill YES
terday voted against laying the bill on the
table. but that vote was without special
sgnincance. except that 1t indicates that
the New York Senator thought that the ef-
Tort to secure tariff legislation should not
De abandoned When asked whether he
cared TO say anything apropos of Senator
Gormans speech, Mr.. Hill replied that he
olo not desire to talk about IL at all.

years sentence yet to serve. and the bride

Mrs. Conrad number forgave him. 1t was
agreed that he should go back to Minnesota,

A RAILROAD HEARING.
Views of Citizens Presented Today to
the COmmi toner's.

thc
Two railroad bills occupied the attent ton
of the Commissioners at a public hearing
given this afternoon at the District build
ing. A large number of interested citizens
were present, including a dozen or more
ladies. In the absence OF Commissioner
Ross Capt. Powell read the bills. AS
stated above there were two bills considered,
one known as Senate bill 2023, to amend the
charter of the District of Columbia Sub
urban railroad, and the other House bill
6I24, to authorize the extension of the Co
lumbia railway. The suburban bill was the
first one considered. Mr.. John w. Butter
field appeared in the interests of the resi-
dents and property owners on 4th street
between d and f streets northwest and on
Z street. He argued that 4th street was
but thirtytwo feet wide and a single or
double track would practically destroy 1t.
Along that street property owners had
constructed at great expense a number of
coal vaults, which would be DESTROYED
when the street Is widened, which must fol-
low If the railroad were built along that
street.
Mr.. John Ridout. attorney for the Eek
ington railroad, stated that his company
was at present constructing its branch out
c street. returning by street. and it
seemed to him unnecessary to have any
further railroad facilities, and unfair to
the lexington railroad.
Mr.. d. ID. Thompson of East Washington
entered a vigorous protest against the oc-
cupancy Of Maryland avenue. Mr. Ma
thaniel Wilson, the legal representative of
the Columbia Railroad Company, opposed
the new road generally. If the Commits
sioners thought another road necessary.
why, he had nothing to say. But he did
not believe it fair that the road should be
allowed to parallel the Columbia tracks.
The hearing was in progress when The
Stars report closed.

FRANCES CABINET CRISIS.
Waiting for Carnot to show His Poll
teal Hand.

PARIS, May A.-There are many conflict
ing runners In circulation today regarding
the cabinet crisis. The report WHICH OBJ
tains most general belief Is that nobody
will become premier until President Carnot
announces whether he is or is not a candi-
date for reelection to the presidency.
NJ Dupuy. president of the chamber of
deputies. was summoned to the Elysee
Palace this morning and had conference,
lasting nearly an hour. with President
Carnot.
NJ Dupuy informed the president that as
the efforts to form homogeneous moderate
republican ministry were fruitless, he
thought it was now necessary to try a
radical policy.
The president Of the chamber of deputies
added that he could not accept office and the
task of forming such cabinet. He must
first consult with his friends.
Nj. Dupuy will return TO the Elysee this
afternoon and announce his decision to
President Carnot.
1t is currently reported this afternoon
that President Carnot will probably form a
stop gap cabinet with which to carry on
business until the presidential election, in
the event OF NJ. Dupuy being unable to form
a cabinet.
Ex-Minister PeytraI Summoned.
Nj. Dupuy returned to the Elysee at 3
O'Clock this afternoon, and, after a short
conference with the president, finally sug-
gested that the latter should summon NJ
Peytral ex-minister OF finance in the radi-
cal cabinet formed by NJ Floquet.
NJ. Peytral was accordingly summoned to
confer with the president

N AVAIL AR NOR PLATES
An Investigation Begun Today by a
House Committee
Representative Dunphy Tells What
Locating the Defective Plates.

The congressional investigation into
frauds and irregularities in naval armor
plate began at noon today with open doors.
Chairman Cummings and his associates on
the investigating committee. Representa-
tfves Talbot, Money. Dolliver and Wads-
worth, were present, and Representative
Dunphy of New York was on hand to make
the hrst statement Mr.. Dunphy was not
sworn, as that formality is waived when a
member of Congress is a witness. He stated
that his information came from documents
sent to the departments, from official pa
pers and from the newspapers. He had not
talked with any other witnesses and had
no personal knowledge of the facts. Mr..
Dunphy read from typewriter manuscript
the substance of his charges. The state
ment reviewed the contracts made with
the Carnegie Company Limited, and the
Carnegie-Phipps Company
IL detailed the early discovery of irregu-
Iarltles and the Investigation made by the
Navy Department, which led to the fining
OF the Carnegie Company Mr. DUMMY
said armor plates had been tested at the In
dian Head proving ground and had been
found defective. 1t had then been retreated
SO as to overcome the defect q d..
Mr.. Dunphy then spoke of the blow holas
IN the armor of the monitor Terror Ex-
perts had gone to the navy yard and actu-
ally located two blow holes which had been
nlled up to deceive the government SINH
lar blow holes existed in the armor of man v
other ships, but 1t was impossible for ex-
perts to locate the defects, as the shits
were abroad at their stations One of then,
ne asserted, is said to be on the Monterey,
ana she is in California, and the experts
nave not yet been able to get at her.
Mr.. DLnphy told of the recent inquiry at
homestead. The witnesses were surround
ed by influences tending to embarrass a
1ull showing. The inquiry had been sus-
per ded two days ago on the appoin tment
OF the congressional investigating commit
tee The Carnegie Company had never yet
offered Its books for inspection, nor had it
given evidence except from the superin-
tenderts and other high officials of the
company.
In conclusion Mr.. Dunphy said: MY in
formation is that the defective plates will
be found on the Oregon, the Machias. the
Castine. the Monadnock, the Cincinnati,
the Terror. the New York and the
Monterey. and that the exact position
OF the plates on each of these vessels can
be located by the parties who made the
complaint and whose names the committee
will be able to obtain from the evidence on
file in the office of the Secretary of the
Navy"

LORD ROSEBERY CHEERED.
The British Premier Lightly Touches
ON Public Questions,

BIRMINGHAM. England, May 24.-Lord
Rosebery breakfasted with the Midland
Counties Liberal Association this morning
at the Grand Hotel. During the course of
speech which he made to the liberals
there assembled the premier declared that
the government was bound to bring for
ward measures to which 1t was pledged.
Referring to Mr.. Chamberlain, the dis
tinguished member for West Birmingham.
Lord Rosebery said that Mr. Chamberlain
vas unable to support measures which he
orce advocated. lest home rule should be
passed with them. This. according to Lord
Rosebery, was skating upon thin ice, and
this great. ardent reformer was obliged to
sink every reform upon which he had set
his heart, because he was unable to agree
UPON the precise form which home rule
should take.
In regard to the house of lords, the pre-
mier said that a minister could not an
nounce the details of the bill for its re-
formation until the government had receiv-
ed the country's mandate.
The speaker then asserted that he was
a "mender" rather than an ''ender" be-
cause he did not know of any machinery
by which the house of lords could be ended.
Touching upon the Irish question. Lord
Rosebery said that there were points full
Of hope for its settlement. One was the
closer union of the Irish party and the
liberals. He felt grateful from the bottom
Of his heart for the way in which the Irish
came to the assistance of the government
during the recent critical division. The
other was the tranquility of Ireland, an
important factor in influencing the En-
glish in favor Of home rule.
Lord Rosebery was loudly cheered while
passing through the streets of the city on
his way to the railroad station, en- route
to London.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, May Pay sterday's sudden
advance in prices did not extend over into
tooay's market. owing to falling off in
the demand from shorts and a general de-
sire on the part OF the bulls to delay
further purchases until the stability of the
present level of values has been tested.
Initial prices were fractionally higher. and
with few exceptions were not improved by
subsequent trading. London was generally
higher, with St Paul the favorite, but had
no important business on this side.
The meeting of railroad officials in Chi
cago for the purpose of restoring rates is
making satisfactory progress in that direc-
ton, and is expected to be productive of
good results.

irgs. both for st. Paul and Lake Shore, re-
suited in a general shading of in values

rumors on New York Central We're in plenti-
full supply just before the opening. and sub
sequent events justified their presence On
sales by brokers, who usually act for the
larger interests in this property. the price
was forced down 1 "a per cent to 95 IL
The balance Of the list was given over to
dizziness. and was without special feature.
In the Industrial group Sugar was the
leader. and gave additional evidence of the
supremacy of the manipulators. Opening
at 103 IA, the price ives marked UP IS per
cent on good buying. Later IT settled down
gradually to 103, and was well supported
at that price. A careful investigation about
midday revealed the presence of a con.
siderable line Of stop orders around l02 and
an effort was promptly set on foot to un-
cover them and force out the weakened
following In the process the price was
marked down to 1O1 1-2
Washington advices are still encoura gfng
and higher prices are confidently expected
Chicago Gas was strong at a gain OF l..
per cent at the opening. but sold of IL
per cent to 40. in sympathy with the re-
dictionary spirit at the close of the noon
hour.
Except in cases OF inside manipulation
there is practically no important selling OF
long stock and II is hardly probable that
the shorts covered in the last few DAYS
will be permitted 10 assume such unwieldy
proportions In the future. On this theory
conservative traders are inclined to buy
on every reaction
In sugar there is evidence of a desire TO
keep the price around par. preferably slight
ly under. pending the Senate's action on the
schedule.
The market for sterling exchange is prac-
tically unchanged. although there are indi-
cations of a slight easing up in rates The
supply OF all classes OF bills is small and
the volume of business limited. The amount
OF gold to go OUT by Saturdays steamers
may be reduced slightly in view OF the
easier tendency Of exchange rates
Final figures reflected declines varying
from 1 1-2 to 1-2 per cent.

Because they had secured all they wanted.

The Price Paid for Votes.
Mr.. Hale continued to point out in detail,
specifically, what he termed the price paid
for votes in the latter group. calling atten-
ton to speeches made by these Senators In
the past
Those speeches were made when they
were out OF power" interjected Mr. Hill.
The bill as 1t now stood, Mr.. Hale said
had no responsible parents. 1t was a politi-
cal bastard 1t was the result of the inter-
course OF those who had abandoned party
principle with the easy virtue OF few pro-
tected industries and the habitual prostitu-
non OF the trusts. 1t had its origin in the
back room OF a New York office.
Whether IL passed or not II had the badge
or traffic upon II. 1t was not a compromise;
II wasn't trimming. 1t represented bargain
and sale; votes bought with concessions OF
principle and honor. Mr.. German, con-

Austerlitz, he saw, but the sun of Waterloo
