A long petition from the residents and
property owners east of Connecticut ave

AMENDING THE BILL.
Commissioners Suggest Changes in
Brightwood Railroad Extension.

| The Commissioners have completed their
| report to Congress upon House bill 4479
providing for an extension of the Bright
wood railroad. The bill proposes an extern
sion northward by the Blair road to the
District line, and an extension eastward
over a private right of way from the main
line on Brightwood road to the District line
The commissioners say there appears to be
need of the extension to Takoma Park for
| better accommodation to suburban traffic
and they favor the general proposition Of
the extension.
The proposed route along Blair road how
ever, is not free from serious objections, and
| yet this is the only available route over pub-
| lie space. Blair road is a country lane 33
| feet wide The available width for vehicles
| on account of trees and bitches, and for a
| part or the way of slopes and cuts, is sew
eral feet less. Continuing, the report says:
| Residents on the east side of Blair road
| where there are eight dwellings, protested
against the proposed railroad: delegation
OF the residents stated that they would not
| object to a track on the extreme west side
where there We're no dwellings Two own
ers of tracts on the west side. representing
the greater length of frontage on Blair
road, from Piney Branch road to the Dis
trict line. have petitioned for the extension
or the railway along the extreme west line
| OF Blair road.
1t is not contemplated in the highway
extension plans to retain Blair road except
for one square north of Carroll avenue.
Blair road at a point near and north of
Piney Branch road can now he>reachei
from Carroll avenue terminus over exist
ing streets.
In view of the foregoing circumstances.
it is recommended that the bill be amend
ed; first, that single track extension be
authorized from the intersection of 18th
street and Blair road, north on Blair road
to Nermillion street. east to 18th street,
north on 7th street to Blair road and
thence along the extreme west line of Blair
road to the District line.
I'd That when streets may be laid out
adjacent to Blair road, the Commissioners
shall be empowered to designate a route
for the railway track substantially paral-
lei to Blair road. on which route the COM
pany may lay its track, and thereupon,
after reasonable notice, the right to use
Blair road for railway purposes shall cease

DISTRICT BILLS.

The Senate this afternoon passed the
bill for the promotion of anatomical
science and prevention of the Dissertation
of graves in the District OF Columbia. A
number or amendments proposed by the
District committee We're agreed to.
The Senate then, at the request of Mr.
Faulkner, took up Senate bill S23, TO sys-
tematize the form of deeds for the transfer
rof real estate in the District of Columbia
The bill was about upon it's passage when
Senator Allison called attention to the
short notice given by the law OF sales I'M
der trust deeds and suggested that instead
of ten days sixty days should. be given.
Senator Faulkner replied that the bills
for advertising for sixty days would be
enormous. and he suggested that il a
longer period were added publication should
be at the rate of once a week. Mr.. Allen
accepted this proposition. He said it was
preposterous that a man who had put
his money into real estate in good faith
should be deprived of his property with
such brief notice. The discussion was con-
tinued to some length.

DUBLIN, March 19.-The Independent
today, commenting on Lord Rosebery s
speech at Edinburgh Saturday, says:
. Lord Rosebery has followed the lead of
the ministerial journals, and we at once
confess that he has protited by their teach
ing"
The Freeman's Journal remarks: Lord
Rosebery has more than justified the trust
the. Irish reposed in him.
In his speech at Edinburgh Lord Rosebery
said, commenting on his famous house of
lords speech, that on the first night of the
session no man in my position could have
avoided the subject of home rule.
Il thought had dealt with il in absolute
frankness and absolute perspicuity. My
critics admit that, but unfortunately the
interpretation they place upon my words
IS not that which / put upon them myself.
W nat L said was that If we wanted to
carry home rule we, must carry conviction
to the heart of England, and by those
words l stand"
we do not propose to sit on the banks
OF the stream of time and watch the
stream pass by until it runs dry. For the
EngHsh majority. In the cause we espoused,
we snail try, as we have been trying since
1885,. TO bring conviction to the mimi of the
partner having the greatest popularity the

man-at-Large From Kansas.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
TOPEKA, Kan, March 19.-There are
three republicans in Kansas W no are work
ing hard for the nomination for Congress
man-at-large. The fact that the nomina-
ton for governor will go to ex-Congressman
Morrill, practically by acclimation has shift
ed the contest to the fight for Congress
man-at-large. and Edward z. Greer of Cow
ley, L. w. Blue of Linn and George l..
Douglass Of Sedgwick are losing no time
in getting over the state prior to the as
sembling of county conventions. Greer rep
resents the young crowd in Kansas poH-
ties, and is considered the, strongest man
in the race. Two years ago he came near
defeating Ex-Governor Anthony for the
nomination, and it is the belief now among
well-posted politicians that he has the call
on his oppohents in this fight.
Douglass will be strong. in the rural por-
lions of the state, because of his position
as speaker in the last legislature. In the
country precincts the average republican
looks upon Douglass as the savior of the
party last winter. They think that his
smashing of the doors to representa- tive
hall with siedge hammer was a patriotic
act that should be recognized, and of
course, this class will be for him.
Blue is the soldier candidate. He was
urged to go into the race at the recent
Grand Army encampment, and will have a
large following, from that element. Rev.
Bernard Kelly IS also talked about but he
is not making a canvass for the nomina-
ton.
If Congressman-at-large w. A. Harris
should be the fusion candidate for governor
it is almost certain that Ex-Governor
Charles Robinson will be the populist-demo-
cratic candidate for Congressman -at-large
His name is frequently mentioned in. that
connection.
Then, it is said, Governor Lewelling will
be the candidate of the anti-repubican
elements for United States Senator.
