A MEMORIAL BRIDGE,
A Bill to Connect the Naval Observn-
tory With Arlington.

The House committee on interstate and
foreign commerce today favorably reported
the bill authorizing the construction of the
memorial bridge across the Potomac river.
connecting the naval observatory with Ar
lington cemetery. The bill in full is as fol-
lows:
That the Secretary of War is authorized
and directed to have constructed memoir
ial bridge from the most convenient point
of the naval observatory grounds to the
most convenient point of the Arlington es-
tate property, subject to such regulations
as he shall prescribe. The cost of the
bridge shall not exceed the sum of s6DO,OOO;
and the sum of SlO0Goo is appropriated for
the purpose of securing designs and COM
mencing the construction of the bridge,
which shall be used exclusively for foot
passengers and vehicles, and prohibited to
all tramways, whether propelled by steam,
cable, horse, electric or other power"
Inasmuch as the bridge is to connect the
property of the United States. and be used
by the government, the committee decided
that it would not be fair to require the
District to pay half the cost, SO the whole
amount is appropriated by the govern
ment. The advocates of the bill will now
bestir themselves TO secure opportunity
for it's consideration in the House.

HAWAIIAN BOND STORIES
They Are Pronounced False at the Lega-
tion in This City.
All the bonds Issued Except One MIL
on the Islnnd-All Mt Il Premium.

The sensationalists who have been cir
culating fake stories ss to the alleged
distribution of Hawaiian bonds among the
New England Congressman who are sup
porting the Hawaiian republic, would have
done well to be more careful of their facts.
Inquiry at the Hawaiian legation shows
that the stories which are in circulation
have absolutely no foundation. A gentle
man connected with the legation, who Is
possessed of all information as to this
matter, said:
Only II Million In q Foreign Market.
This story would have had better
foundation for believers. II there are any
who wish to believe it. If it had lot made
the absurd statement that Hawaiian bonds
command only 25 perreent of the par value
in the market and that they could only
be negotiated at loss Of IS per cent. The
fact is that with the exception of 81 100000
worth OF bonds OF the Hawaiian govern
E,ent which were NEGOTIATED In England In
1885, not bond Of the Hawaiian govern
Yaent, or of the Hawaiian republic. has
ever been negotiated outside Of the Ha-
waiian Islands. In 1886 81 100000 of the
Hawaiian bonds were sold in London. They
were eagerly taken up by investment COM
panies. and are now held by them. The
latest known quotation Of these bonds
was 113 That is the credit which the
hawaiian government mas IN the great
financial markets Of the world as to the
only bonds which it ever placed upon the
foreign market. The English investors in
Hawaiian bonds would smile at this story
thDd Hawaiian credit requires the sale of
bonds at only % per cent OF their face
value.
Other Bonds Taken ut Home.
"The only other bonds which have been
disposed Of in any way by the Hawaiian
government are the few bonds which have
teen sold regularly over the government
counter at Honolulu. These bonds have
never been Sold for less than par. And it
is a fair comment upon the esteem in which
tn. Hawaiian government is held at home
that none Of these bonds has ever been
sold outside of Hawaii, and that every
bond which it has been found necessary
the residents of the islsn nd.
A Record at the Legation.
mo bonds can be issued by the Hawaiian
government except for specific purposes,
and the purposes must be enumerated in
the acts which authorize them. There Is
record at the legation Of every bond which
has ever been issued, and Of the price at
which it was sold. No other bonds have
ever been given out by the Hawaiian gov
ernment. for any purpose. The curious re-
ports In the newspapers that bonds have
been issued at twenty-five cents on the
dollar. to be available In the event of Ha-
waiian annexation, and that they are in
possession Of public men who have been
friendly to the Hawaiian government, are
among the most grotesque of recent politi-
cal Inventions. There Is absolutely no truth
whatever in the story"

ENLISTED MEMS PAY.
No Part of 1t Will Hereafter BE Re-
tained.

The Secretary of War has decided to
abolish the practice of retaining pay from
the enlisted men of the army. He has
issued an order that tho returns from
troop comnca nders hereafter shall show GER
tcin Information for the guidance of pay
masters, who have been instructed to sec
that soldiers receive tieir full pay and
allowances. The old custom of retaining
pay was based on the theory that it would
tend to discourage descrtion, on the belief
that soldiers would not desert when the
government owed them money Years of
trial have demonstrated, however, that the
retention of pay has made nc difference in
this respect, and tnat dcserlions were as
numerous under the fetalied pay method
as they had been before its adoption. One
reason assigned for doing away with the
system of retained pay is that after having
earned his pay the soldier Is fairly entitled
to the whole of it without any reservation

NO wARsuIP FOR SAMOA.
The Alert VIII Not Go to That Far
Away Island.

1t Is settled that the administration will
not send a war ship to Samoa in the near
future. The Alert. which was thought to
be destined for that far-away island, left
San Francisco yesterday in company with
the Ranger for San Diego, Cal, ostensibly
for target practice. 1t is believed that
their stay in that southern California har
Dor will be exceedingly brief and that on
hing there they will receive orders to
continue down the Mexican coast as far as
Acapulco, for the purpose of looking out
for American interests in the event of an
outbreak between Guatemala and Mexico.
The Bennington, at San Francisco, and the
Mohican, at New Whatcom, Washington,
are available for sea service. In case an
ether vessel is needed in a hurry at Homo
lulu the Bennington will be sent as the
fastest ship available. She is also held in
readiness for possible service on the west
coast of Central America. The Mohican
may be sent to Samoa, but it is not at all
probable.

Other amendments to the appropriation

Senator Sherman. appropriating 5000 for
grading Michigan avenue; by Senator Nc

then claimed, and his heirs afterward In

was had. however, the property was sold
to Alexander r. Shepherd the Commis-
sioners later determining to refund the eX-
cess of this tax, paid 1t by error to the
then owner instead of to the person who
had suffered from the assessment. Several
efforts to rectify this error were made. but
the Shepherd estate had become insolvent,
and recourse was had finally to a lesisla-
tive remedy. This bill is the result of that
complication. 1t was reported adversely
at the last session Of Congress, but this
action was reconsidered today.
Senate bill 11O6, granting to the property
owners of square 526 the privilege of con-
structing a railroad siding from the Balti-

themselves of the necessity of the tracks.

REPUBLICAN, CAUCU S
The Senators Discuss Various Matters
Without Action.
Election Frauds in Alabnma-Danlx-
ruptcy Bill Admission of New
Mexico and Arizona.

The republican senatorial caucus was in
session from 1890 until II o'clock today,
and adjourned without taking sny action
OIL any subject, although almost every
question before the Senate was referred
to, and some of the more important dis
cussed at some length. The principal sub
ject under consideration was that OF taking
q position on the question of the senatorial
elections in the states where there2are sena-
torial deadlocks.
This matter was brought to the attention
of the caucus by Senators Dubois and
Chandler. both Of whom urged the proprie-
ty Of an official declaration by resolution
to the effect that the republican members
Of the legislatures of Delaware, Idaho,
Oregon and Washington should go into eau
Gus and agree upon republican in each
state and elect him without unnecessary
delay. Neither of them, however, offered
resolution, and no formal expression of
opinion whatever was ELECTED.
This was because of the general opposi-
ticn which seemed to prevail against SEN
atorial interference.
The Various Pending Bills.
There was also some expression of opin-
ion upon the order of business in the Sen
ate from this time forth, which involved
a discussion Of the merits of most of the
ate, including the bankruptcy, the finan-
cial and territorial admission bills, but no
vote was taken, and the discussion was of
authentic information ON any of these
questions.
The reference to the financial bills was
really briefer than that On any other ou.s
ton, and nothing whatever was developed
on this subject. The territorial admission
II Ia yIifh n
political complexion of the proposed states
in case the bills should pass.
There was no reference to the silver
question in the territorial discussion, but
the fact that the eastern Senators, as a
class, seemed inclined to oppose admission.
and the western Senators to favor it, so
far as expression was obtained, was re-
garded evidence that some of the Sena-
tors had this point in mind, if they did not
give expression to it,
The nearest approach to a decision
reached by the caucus was in the matter
Of the resolution of Senator Allen re-
garding the alleged elect ton frauds in
Alabama, in which the republicans will
probably stand together to encourage in
vestigation.
The general sentiment of the caucus was
opposed to any initiative action on any
question during the present session by the
republican Senators.
1t was quite clearly shown that there
would be some opposition to the bank
ruptcy bill among individual republican
Senators, and that the opposition to the
admission of Arizona and New Mexico
would be quite pronounced.
1t also appears that while the caucus
declined to act officially on the question Of
the senatorial elections in the various
states the expression by Senators of the
hope that the legislatures would act
promptly in the senatorial elections was
unanimous and there was no reason urgel
against such action except the doubt of
the wisdom and propriety Of such inter-
ference

THE U. s. s. CONSTITUTION.
An Appropriation to Bring Her Frol

Portsmouth, n. H., to This City.
The naval appropriation bill. which was
reported to the House today, contains an
item cf $1,000 for the removal of the U. S.
s. Constitution from Portsmouth, N. H.,
to the navy yard at Washington. The re-
port says that for many years past this
vessel has been used as a receiving ship at
the Portsmouth navy yard. and only such
repairs put upon her as would render her
habitable and in condition to float. Her
present state is such that If this famous
old ship Is to be longer preserved as a me-
mento of our glorious past larger sum
OF money than that appropriated at the
last session will be necessary. In view Of
the memories which are fnseparably con-
nected with this vessel, the Navy Depart
ment believes that it will be wise for Con-
gress to authorize that she be repaired and
put in such condition as will enable the de-
partment to preserve her indefinitely.
Should such an act be passed the old ship
might then be brought to Washington and
kept at the navy yard as an object of in
terest to the many thousands of patriotic
Americans annually visiting the capital of
the nation.

Measles ON the New York.

Several cases of measles have appeared
among the apprentice boys on the flagship
New York, now in Hampton Roads. Act
ing Secretary McAdco has accordingly or
dered delay in the departure Of that YES
sci for the West Indies until the disease
has been eradicated. Although none of
the cases are serious, it has been deemed
advisable to remove the patients to the
naval hospital at Norfolk and to keep the
vessel in Hampton Roads for a few days
to await developments. The disease is un-
der control and every precaution has been
taken against it's spread.

Before the President.

1t is said 1T the White House today that
the President IS not likely to act upon the
case of Collector Manogue of Georgetown
for several days at least. He has all the
papers before him, including a statement
made by Mr.. Manogue in refutation of the
charges preferred against him. Secretary
Carlisle has declined to Interfere in the
case for the stated reason that the Presi-
dent made q personal matter OF the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Manogue, and, therefore,
should properly determine whether the
case calls for any further action.
