EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.
One Pardon, One Communication
Sentence and One Denial.

One Pardon, One Communication of
Sentence md One Denial.
The President has granted a pardon in
the case of William Robinson, alias Kid
Robinson, convicted in the District of CO.
lumbia of housebreaking and sentenced
April G. 1894. to three years Imprisonment
in the Albany penitentiary. This convict"
the President says, has been imprisoned
eighteen months, eleven of which he has
spent in the prison hospital. His health is
such that he needs daily medical care, and
it is represented to me that he will con-
tinually grow worse unless serious sur
gioal operation is performed, which cannot
" ell be done in prison. On the entire pre-
sentation OF his case think humanity JUS
titles his discharge"
In the case of W. G. Overstreet, convicted
in Tennessee of forging material sigma
tUre to a post office order, and sentenced
May 20. 1895. to two years Imprisonment
in the Columbus, Ohio, penitentiary the
President has commuted the sentence to
Imprisonment for one year, with allowances
for good behavior. The Communication is
that the punishment to be still suffered by
the convict will be adequate to cause him
to shun, after his release, the use of intoxi-
eating drink, and earnestly endeavor to re-
gain his place in society and sreturn to his
duty as husband and father
The application for pardon is denied in
the case of Henry Miller, convicted in Ari-
zcEa of robbing United States mail carrier
by use of deadly weapon and sentenced
May %. 1881, to ten years Imprisonment in
San Quentin prison OF California.

TO ELECT A BISHOP.
The Convention of the New Diocese
to Meet December 4.

The Convention of the New, Diocese
to Meet December 4.
Bishop Paret of the diocese of Mary
land has prepared a circular call to the
new diocese of Washington to meet in
primary convention in ST. Andrews
Church, this city, Wednesday morning. De-
cember 4, at 10 o'clock. The business be-
fore this convention will be the election of
a bishop for the new Episcopal diocese of
Washington, the appointment of a stand
ing committee of the new diocese. a board
of missions, secretary and a treasurer.
The convention will also make provision
for the care of the diocese until the new
bishop Is consecrated.
Bishop Paret has returned to Baltimore
and is reported to be in excellent health.
He thinks he will not have occasion to
regret the choice which he made to remain
in the Maryland diocese. rhe division of
the diocese relieves him of about one-thrd
of his work, but he says that the work in
the old diocese will be still twice as hard
as in the new one. owing to the greater
extent of territory in the Maryland dio-
cese. which still extends from the noun
tains to the bay.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 26.-The Ex-

krown. In this letter, it is said. Durrant
makes the statement that he saw the last
details of the murder, and saw Rev. ].
George Gibson and another man prominent
in church affairs bending over the body of
Blanche Lamont. The Examiner says that
DLrrant requested his lawyers not 10 open
the letter until he was convicted. They
have opened it, and so remarkable were
the statements it contained that even they
did not believe them. and refrained from
using them in Durrant's defense.

THE HOUSE LEADER
Speculation as to What Republican Will
Direct on the Floor.
Some Names Suggested on the Demo-
cratic Side-There Will Be Crisp
and McMilIfn.

The leader Of the next House will be in
the chair. 1t is a question of some interest
who will be the republican leader on the
floor. Both parties have lost many of their
captains in the political battles of the past
two or three years, and the republicans have
not suffered least. On the democratic side
there will be two rival leaders-Crisp and
McMillin. They do not like each other. At
least McMfllin does not like Crisp. In fact,
his dislike amounts to hatred, and there is
bound to be bitter war forced between
them. McMillin complains of the treatment
he got at the hands of Crisp when speker
Crisp has some complaints to make on his
side. Between the two there will be leading
enough on that side of the House, and it will
probably be interesting.
Nominal Republican Leadership.
The nominal leadership on the other side
will go with the craftsmanship of the ways
and means committee. Where that chair
manship will go no one but Reed knows, and
he may not, yet. If it goes to Payne, the
leadership will consist of physical presence,
somewhat imposing. thoroughly self-content
II II goes to Dalzell 1t will be exactly the
reverse. There will be the absence of that
personal magnetism which goes with an
imposing presence, and in it's place will be
quick wit and abundance of nervous energy
and alertness, no small amount of ability
ana capacity for making the people on
the other SIDE" irritable and uncomfortable
but tnere IS another man after the place
VINO Is very little spoken of now but who will
nave strong support and who will be recog-
nlzed as their leader by a certain section of
the House whether he gets the ways and
means Craftsmanship or not.
A New Man Possible.
That is Hopkins of Illinois. Hopk:ns served
IN the House some time without attracting
much attention., but during the last Con.
g1ess he developed wonderfully. Most of
the western members regard him as their
coming man. and they will make a fight
to put him to the front One thing in his
way will probably be, however, the fact
tnat the thing he got most glory out Of last
congress was defeating Reed when the ef-
tort was made by the man from Maine to
!ea1 the republicans to the support of Cleye-
lands gold bond proposition. Hopktns'
spaech on that occasion was universally re-
garded as remarkable, and he carried all
the Republicans but two-one of them Payne
with him. An effort was then made to get
him to enter contest against Reed for the
speakership of this coming House, but that
he declined.
What the Chances Are.
The chances are however, that the real
leader of the republicans on the floor will
be one of the most inconspicuous men in
that bedy-Dingley of Maine. He is one of
the ablest men in Congress, and will come
nearer than any one to being the persona!
get much greater prominence in the com.
mittee assignment than he now has, but
wherever he is, he will come near being the
director Of affairs.

Thinks the Democrats Cannot Secure

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, October 2G.-Gov.
Altgeld will not be a candidate this year
for United States Senator.
"How's that, governor!'' he was asked.
WELL" he replied. "aside from the va
cancy caused by the death of State Sena-
tor Herb, the republicans have a majority
CT seventeen of the hold-over senator's, and
conditions in this state are such that if
we were to sweep everything before us
next year, as we did in 1892, we could not
possibly get a majority of moro than
twelve or fourteen of newly elected mem
bers, so that even If the Lord were to be
with us next year, the republicans would
still have a majority of five or six on joint
ballot. Under these circumstances, it
would look greedy for democrat to want
the place. and as the democrats are wellz
bred gentlemen, they will not be guilty of
such breach of decorum, but will pre-
serve their dignity and pursue the even
tenor of their ways

Regulations to Protect the Lives Of
Citizens.
WHERE DIFFERENT RAILS CROSS
Effort to Have Engines Stopped at
Such Places.
THE ATTORNEYS OPINION

If the steam railroads of the city persist
in maintaining the deadly grade crossings
they must SO protect them that the danger
to life and limb will be reduced to a mini
mum.
Some days ago President Phillips of the
Metropolitan Railroad Company appeared
before the Commissioners and urged the
adoption of police regulation compelling
the trains operated by the Baltimore and
ohio Railroad Company to come to q stop
before crossing the tracks of his company
AT the time he cited several narrow es-
capes that street cars had had, and ne
thought the Commissioners owed it to the
travelling public that such a regulation be
passed.
Col Enoch Totten, representing the Penn
sylvania railroad, demurred to any such a
regulation, and said if such a rule were
passed. 1t would greatly embarrass the
rallroad company. The watchmen We're at
tbese crossings to warn approaching street
cars or incoming and outgoing trains, and
lation.
The whole matter was finally submitted
to the attorney for the District, with in
structions to examine the law and report
TO the Commissioners exactly what power
they had in the premises. Counsel on both
SIDES submitted briefs to the attorney, and
several days ago, he arrived at a conclusion
ara sent his opinion to the Commissioners
HIS opinion was to the effect that owing
to the great danger of an unregulated use
or grade crossing by two railroads, it was
e1ninently proper that the Commissioners
should issue regulations governing the sub
ject.
The Commissioners, it is understood, ap-
proved the attorneys opinion and late this
afternoon went into board session for the
purpose of agreeing upon suitable regu-
lation governing the subject, which was to
be general in it's terms and affect alike all
grade crossings, crossed by intersecting
lines.
Finally Adopted.
Late this afternoon the order was finally
passed, and hereafter all railroad trains
before crossing intersecting street car lines
will be obliged to come to full STOP

SEEKING AN ENTRANCE
How the Mount Vernon Railway May Get
Into the City.
Can't Land n Ferry Mt the Foot of
18th Street, for 1t is Gov
ernment Ground.

The Washington and Mount Vernon Rail-
road Company finds itself in an awkward
position inethe matter of obtaining suitable
ground for the construction of a landing
and slip for the operation Of the ferry or
transfer steamer at the foot of 14th street.
The ground where it is sought to locate
this STRIP is included, it is understood, in
the reclaimed flats, and. consequently, the
property of the United States.
In the act of Congress authorizing the
construction of this road it provides for
the construction and maintenance of land
ing or ferry slip at the foot Of 1lth street,
after acquiring title to the same, on plans
approved by the Secretary of War. But it
now transp:res that the land at the foot of
14th street Is, according to the report of
the board Of engineers, under the resolution
OF the Senate, dated June Is, 1881, part OF
the reclaimed flats. the property of the
United States, and was never intended to
be used for commercial purposes.
Probable Action of the Commissioners
Just what will be done in the matter is
not known, but it Is believed that the
Commissioners will refuse the permit which
is now before them on the ground that
they have no jurisdiction over the land in
question, because its title is in the United
States
into the city it would be serious matter
with the railroad company. The Commis-
sioners have no authority to grant the rail-
read a permit to construct a landing at
any other place than that specifically men
toned in the charter, and the only thing
the company could do would be TO appeal
to Congress for permission to amend its
charter.
But it Is alleged that there Is another
way to get around this obstacle. Already
the roadbad for another track adjoining
the tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad
across the Long bridge has been conf
menced on the west, and all distractions
the eastern side of the track This would
indicate that the Mount Vernon road would
cross the Long bridge and gain entrance
into the city in that way. At the north
end of the bridge 1Ith street commences,
and the railroad has a charter, already to
run down that street.
As to the Long Bridge.
There ar, many persons who believe the
railr pad should not be permitted to cross
the Long bridge. unless upon a separate
and distinctly removed track from that
used 10y the steam railroad. The danger
would be materially increased, it is
thought, If the street railroad were per-
mitted to use the same tracks as those
occupied by the steam railroad. However,
it has not as yet been finally determined
how the railroad will cross the bridge.
The part set aside for pedestrians and We
hcles is altogether too narrow. it is
there. and unless the regular tracks of the
Pennsylvania road are used the bridge
will have to be reconstructed in part by
the addition of wings.

mail bound this way from England, and
1t runs fer ten years. The contract rate
is 16 shillngs per nautical mile. At pres
ent rate of exchange this is about $3.50 per
mile. This is somewhat less than the
United States government pays the st.
Louis and City of Paris for carrying mail
eastward across the Atlantic. Our rate is
81 mile. and the miles are statute miles of
$3.50 feet. The nautical mile is 6O7O feet.
So that this government pays probably
frcm one-sixth to one-fifth more than Great
Britain does. The aggregate difference in

considerable.
