DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
Daily Garbage Collection.

Two days ago the Commissioners ordered
the garbage contractor to make a daily
collection of garbage during the months of
May and June at an extra compensation OF
81 600 per month. According toithe "secre-
cy rule of the Commissioners, all orders
are to be given to the press Immediately
upon their contamination. yet this Is not
always done, and great many opinions OF
interest to the public are never seen.
The daily garbage service Will begin at
18th and b streets northwest, and running
thence to 9Th street, thence to P street, to
18th street, to Pennsylvania avenue, to 10Th
street, and thence to place of beginning.
Want Protection From the Weather.
A committee consisting Of S. Howison,
Horace Crosier and James c. Reeves called
upon the Commissioners yesterday and pre-
scented a petition of the wholesale market
gardeners requesting the erection OF COW
cred sheds for the protection of the public
and gardeners. the latter agreeing to pay
rent for the same as long as used. If the
Commissioners agree to this and make the
provision asked for, the gardeners agree to
vacate the space occupied by them on the
south side of street northwest.

GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS

LONDON, May lin the Old Bailey
court today Justice Charles summed up
the case against Oscar Wilde and Alfred
Taylor, accused of serious misdemeanors.
The justice in SO doing said that counsel
for the prosecution acted wisely in with
drawing the charge of conspiracy brought
against Wilde, as he, Justice Charles, would
have ordered the jury to bring in a verdict
of not guilty on that specification. He adj
mitted that there was confederation of the
witnesses, but the jury, he added, would
have to weigh the characters of men like
Parker, Wood and Atkins. whom Sir Ed
ward Clarke, in the Justices opinion, prop
erly described as blackmailers. The justice
also urged the jury not to be influenced by
Wilde's writings, saying that many great
men had written indecently. The jury
should exercise their own judgment to
whether Wilde's letters to Lord Alfred
Douglas breathed an unnatural passion,
and he also said the relations between Shell
ly and Wilde would be an interesting mat
ter for the jury's judgment.
The jury retired at l: 30 p. m. At 3 pm
the jury requested that lunch be given
them.
After lunch the jury resumed their DELHI
erations, and afterward returned and an
nounced that there was no possibility of
coming to an agreement as to a verdict.
Counsel for the prisoners then made ap-
plica ton for bail, but his request was
FUSED, and fresh jury Will probably be
summoned.
When the news of the disagreement
reached the outside of the court room there
was great excitement among the crowds in
the streets, and the extra editions of the
evening papers, which were issued within
a few minutes after the result of the trial
became known, were bought up quickly by
the throngs Of people who surrounded the
newsboys.
When Sir Edward Clarke, counsel for
Wilde. asked for bail, Justice Charles said
that the application must be made in cham
bers.
Wilde will be tried again at the next ses-
sion Of the central criminal court. Through
out the proceedings today he was very
pale. but he did not show any signs of
citation when the result of the deliberations
of the jury was made known.
AS Sir Edward Clarke, counsel for the
prisoner, left the court he was heard to
remark to a friend: Truth is mighty, and
will prevail"
There was a big crowd of people outside
the Old Bailey during the last stages of
the famous trial today. but there was no
demonstration for or against the prisoner
upon the part Of the popuace. In spite of
this, Wilde was kept in the prisoners room
of the court for an hour after the adjourn
ment, or until the crowds had dispersed
before he was taken to Holloway Jail.

THE NEXT POSTAL CONGRESS.
Some Important Matters to BE CO

Some Important Matters to BE Con-
sidereL mt It's Meeting.
The post office authorities are already
laying their plans for the next postal con-
gress, which will BIO held in Washington
two years from now. They are moved
thereto by the expected visit in June of
Director Holm of the executive committee
of the Universal Postal Union, who will
discuss the work Of the congress with
Postmaster General Wilson.
One of the principal topics of considera-
ton will undoubtedly be that Of the aboli-
ton by national governments Of all charges
for carrying the mails between the different
countries Of the world. when passing
through their own. At present each nation
has to pay every other through which it
sends its mails, while on their way to the
country to which they are destined for
their transportation. When the United
States sends mails to Austria, for instance,
it must first Of all pay the steamship COM
pany; then it must pay Great Britain, Bel
GUM or the Netherlands. according 90 the
route followed, and Germany After it
reaches the Austrian boundary, its ex-
tries is paid the same amount, whether 1t
carries the mails over one mile or 500.
Some countries, which have small malls of
their own, but lie in the route of other
great mail services, derive very large sums
from this source, the expenses not being
nearly so large as the receipts.
The actual sums to be paid are deter
mined once every three years. For four
weeks. either in May or September. every
country weighs all it's incoming and out
going mails, and checks them up with the
figures taken by each other country, and
on this basis the charges are fixed. These
are the only payments now made between
nations for carrying mails.
Up to few years ago each nation re-
deemed at fixed rate all it's own stamps
arriving on letters in foreign countries, but
this system was finally abolished, being too

GROSS NEGLIGENCE SHOWN.
Verdict of the Coroner's Jury ON the
Wreck of the Elbe.

Verdict of the Coroner's Jury on the
Wreck of the Elbe.
LOWESTOFT. Eng, May 1.-The cor
oners jury which has been investigating
the cause of the sinking Of the North Ger
man Lloyd steamship Eibe after a col
lision, which occurred early in the morning
of January 80 last, returned a verdict to-
day Of gross negligence upon the part of
the mate and lookout man of the British
steamer Crathie, which ran into and sank
the Elbe
The two men mentioned, as shown by the
testimony of Sharp. the steward of the
Crathie, were found by him in the galley
of the steamer when the steward went on
deck at o'clock on the morning Of the
collision. although on the port side of the
Crathie were a number of lights, which
the steward then believed to be on fishing
boats. The three men stayed in the galley
until the collision occurred.
In spite of this, owing to the absence Of
evidence from the survivors of the Elbe,
the jury found that there was not sufficient
proof that the crathie was solely blamable
for the collision, and on the question of
standing by the rule of the road, the jury
eXonerated Capt. Gordon the commander
of the Crathie. from all blame.

Marriage After Divorce.
LONDON, May 1.-The Duke of New
castle, who is a prominent member of
the English Church Union, has written a
letter to the Times in connection with the
protest made by Rev. Father Black at the
wedding of Theodore Brinckman and a
stepdaughter of Lord Aylesford at st.
Marks Church on Saturday last Mr..
Brinckman's first wife secured a divorce
from him last year. In his letter the duke
says unless the bishops of the Church Of
England determine without delay to stand
by the indissolubiity of the marriage tie
and the sanctity of the church offices he
will be obliged to advocate the disestab-
lishment Of the church, as all It's endow-
ments cannot be weighed against one such
affair as that which brought forth the
protests of Father Black.
