OPPOSITION TRIUMPHED.
Cross-Town Bill Was Withdrawn 4
the House Yesterday.

The opposition proved so strong to the L
street cross-town bill in the House yester-
day afternoon that Mr.. Richardson was
constrained to withdraw the bill from con-
sideration, in order that the entire District
day might not be lost After antagonizing
the bill in debate until a vote was de-
manded on Mr.. Richardson's amendment,
which was published in The Star, the OPP
ponents made the point OF no quorum on
the vote. AS there was evidently not a
quorum present the bill was withdrawn.
Mr.. Heard then called up the bill to close
the alley in the square occupied by Con-
zaga College. and II was passed.
The bill to amend the incorporation OF the
Railway Company was then called UP.
Mr.. Heard explained that the proposition
contained in this bill is to so amend the
charter as to get the railway entirely
away from the Conduit road He said the
promoters of the road propose to purchase
their own right of way, and TO go across TO
34th and Prospect streets in Georgetown.
and not touch the Conduit road at all, only
when they cross 1t. The bill was amended
by permitting the company to lay its tracks
on Prospect street between 3ith and 36Jh
street. The section permitting the use OF
the Tenallytown tracks was also stricken
out, and the bill was passed.
The District of Columbia Suburban Rail-
way bill was called up. This railway pro-
prOseS TO enter the city from the BiaQenS-
burg read at Z street northeast, and pro-
coed thence westward to 4th street, to ID
street and Louisiana avenue to 18th street.
Mr.. Williams of Mississippi offered an
amendment striking out the names OF the
incorporators OF the bill. and providing that
the charter granted by Congress should be
sold to the highest bidder. MIR. Williams
advocated his amendment in a lengthy
speech, and Gen. Sickles of New York in
dorsed IL. Mr.. Coombs OF New York also
favored a general provision which would
apply to all street railways in the District
of Columbia, and during mis- remarks said
when bills come upon this floor and we
are perststently pressed TO consider
street railroads, ii excites our suspicious"
The District committee had been previously
haunted with transacting more street rail
way business than any other kind, and Was
a little bit sensitive upon this point any,
how SO Mr.. Coombs' remark brought Mr.
PLANTATION.
Mr.. Coombs insisted that he had not in
tended to cast any aspersions upon the
members of the District committee and
Mr.. Richardson insisted upon being ag-
grieved at the remarks Of the member from
Brooklyn. After a wordy debate upon the
matter and renewed assurances upon The
part Of Mr.. Coombs that no charge was
made against the committee together with
repeated disavowals by Mr.. Richardson of
any motive save consideration for the peo-
pies interest, the matter was dropped.
The House adjourned without action upon
the bill.

work was not as clean as her opponents

throws from left by Speer, cutting off two
men at the home plate. and one-handed
catch by Carmody. Georgetown had the
lead in the ninth, and with two men out

Petty was given the most wretched sup
port In the game at Boston yesterday after
noon and the Senators lost what should
have been an easy victory. 1t is claimed
that defeat was due to a questionable de-
cision by Umpire Stage, but eleven errors
by Washington to two by Boston, and but
four earned runs to the credit of the cham

ing its tracks, the assessment bill pending

ton at the regular monthly meeting of the
association held last night. After the read
ing and approval Of the minutes of the last
meeting President Frizzell turned over the
chair TO Mr.. Evan II. Tucker as he desired
to speak on the several questions men
toned.

pointed for the purpose of looking after the
assessment bill and the report as read
reads as follows:
The subcommittee, composed of w. ].

outlined by the report. After thanking
your subcommittee for the suggestions
Judge Cobb stated that he would place the

which the amendments presented would be
given due consideration. The meeting was
attended by your subcommittee, the board
Of trade and the East Washington Citi-

ably represented. In view of the fact that
the report and amendments were already
before the committee and that the essen
tial points had been thoroughly explained

time allotted to citizens for remarks being
limited, your subcommittee refrained from
making any statement except to submit a
written statement and concur in the re.
marks of the representative of the East

Doesn't Want Friction.

Concerning this matter Mr.. Frizzell told
of the appearance of the members OF the
subcommittee at the Capitol on Friday of
last week, as published In The Star at the
time.
THE n embers of our committee" he
said, made no effort to have the bill pre-
sented to the congressional committee or
have action taken by the committee Sew
eral gentlemen of the board of trade and
East Washington Association were pres
emit All We had to do was to urge the
adoption of the bill presented by the boa I'd
of trade, with a few amendments. That
was all we did, and certainly We did not
want to create any friction. Right here
want to disavow any such intention or
making any such effort. This Is serious
question and some people think that the
board of .rade should dominate In this as
it has in other matters. In this we will
certainly join issue. but We will work with
them in any matter conducive to the in
terests of the citizens of every section.
I'VE want no friction, he concluded.
The report of the committee was there
upon adopted.

Pending Legislation.

Mr.. Evan H Tucker, chairman of the
committee on proposed legislation. made
the following report:
your committee on proposed legislation
by Congress have the honor to respectfully
report in regard to the bill to define the
route of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in
the District Of Columbia, and for other pur-
poses. which was drawn by your committee.
and is now pending in Congress. that there
have been six hearings on this question by
the committee on District of Columbia of
the House Of Representatives., at all of
which your committee was represented by a
subcommittee, members of which made
addresses, and statements which seemed to
engage the full attention Of the committee.
Your committee had the able assistance
in the natter Of Gen. VIM. Birney and Mr.
VIM. c. Dodge, who gave 1t the benefit of
their knowledge and experience. Capt.
Chas. F. Powell. the Engineer Commission
er, also rendered valuable assistance by
furnishing drawings and estimates for the
rse OF this committee. all information now
being before the committee of the House of
Representatives. Your committee expect a
report to be made to that body in few
days, after which the committee will en-
deavor to present the matter to the Senate
Committee. to which the bill has been re-
ferred, at an carly date.
Your committee also have the honor to
report In reference to the question Of OPEN
ing reservation No. POI, situated between
Delaware avenue and LIST street and G. ard
H streets northeast, for a public park,
which was brought to the attention Of the
association by a resolution adopted on
March %. 1894. and referred to this COM
mittee; that 1t Is the opinion of your COM
mittee from information at hand that said
reservation Is now. and has been for a long
time, unlawful1y occupied by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, and used by
said company without any authority what
ever; that said company holds this reserva-
ton only by sufferance and can be COM
PEELED to vacate the same at any time
Your committee is endeavoring, however, to
procure such further information as will
establish the true status of the question,
and have addressed a communication to the
Commissioners for that purpose. Your COM
mittee recommends, in view of the fact
that by the provisions of the bill now pend
ing in Congress the tracks now occupying
this reservation will be removed, that while
effort should be continued to procure all in
tect, 1t would be injudicious to compel said
railroad company to vacate said reservation
at this time, and that the question of the
opening of the reservation be held in abey-
ence pending action on said BILL
Several members spoke in behalf of the
report, which was adopted.
Chain of Parks.
At the last meeting a committee repre-
senting the Langdon and Winthrop Heights
associations, as well as the Northeast
