TAXPAYERS MUST FOOT 1T.
Heavy Bill of Expenses Incurred by the
Government During the Strike.

Government During the Strike.
The Taxpayers of the United States al
large will have a considerable bill to foot to
meet the expenses incurred by the national
Government during tho strike. That this
will be considerable there can be no doubt,
but at present it is not possible for the ac-
counting officers to reach even an approx
mate estimate of the total.
The Attorney General sent to Congress
July IA communication asking for def
siency appropriation of $3.50. 900 to defray the
expense of retaining United States marshals
and deputies for service during the CoXey
movements and the strike. He is satisfied
now that all OF this money and more perhaps
will be required to meet expenses.
The War Department also has been put to
great expense, but just how much will not be
known until the quarterly and special returns
come to. Washington. The troops carried
with them the rations they would otherwise
have eaten at their posts so there is no ad-
ditional expense on that score. and the prin-
cipal item of expenditure will be under tho
head of transportation.
The limited annual appropriation for the
transportation of troops was at a low ebb
when the strike occurred. and in consequence
OF these extraordinary expenses the War De-
partment has had to forego altogether its
usual Summer practice of transferring troopr
from one station to another, and therefore
much hardship will result to the troops sta
toned at posts in the extreme South and in
the Indian country, who had reasonably ex-
pected to be transferred to less arduous
service after serving their turn.

SELLING SURPLUS POWER.
Electric Railways Cannot Dispose of /
Outside of Their Own Buildings

Electric Railways Cannot Dispose of 1t
Outside of Their Own Buildings.
A street railroad that uses electric power
for its cars cannot sell its surplus power to
persons outside the premises where the cleo
tricity is made.
This is the opinion of the attorney Tor the
District as rendered yesterday and submitted
to the Commissioners. 1t was brought ont by
the request of G.. W. Lockhart and Il. d.
Weaver Co. foT permission to connect their
premises with the electric wires of the George
town and Tennallytown Railway Company
for the purpose of running electric fans in
their places of business on Thirty-second
street.
The attorney thinks that it is the Commits
sioners' duty to see that no new use of street
Is made by a railway company without Its
proper license from the right authority. A
company, he holds, can dispose of its surplus
power to parties in its own building, as in the
case OF the power-house of the Washington
and Georgetown Railroad Company. but ii
cannot go out of it and sci. it and use a street
for conveying the power along wires.

TESTING BIG ARMOR PLATE.
Satisfactory Results of Shots Fired at 1t
Yesterday at Indian Head.

Satisfactory Results of Shots Fired at 1t
Yesterday at Indian Head.
The naval ordnance officers took another
shot at the Carnegie seventeen-inch armor
plate at Indian Head yesterday. This plate
had been subjected heretofore to three shots.
The first showed fairly satisfactory results,
the second perforated and cracked the plate.
and the third would have passed through the
plate had it been contract test. Yesterday s
shot penetrated the plate to depth Of ten
inches, cracked it, and then split up, but as it
was fired at the velocity of 1858 feet per
second this result was accepted as satisiac-
tory.
The plate represents about 600 tons Of
armor for the Oregon's barbettes and it has
now withstood very severe test. But
whether the last two shots can be regarded
as passing the lot has moi yet been decided by
the department there being scme doubt as to
whether the failure of the plate upon the
second shot did not require rejection.
