A rEsTIFERoUs LAwBREAKER.

The hepublic isdestined to have more trouble
with that pestiferous lawbreaker, the Net
ropolitan Street Railway Company. Its
long experience in evading the authorities,
and its success in repudiating a debt to the
by two different courts to be Just, has
made it bold, and it now proposes to annul
the law of 1894, by refusing to exchange
transfers with the lexington line. Section
8 of that act provides, THAT the Metropoli-
tan Railroad Company is hereby authorized
and required Immediately to make recipro-
cal transfer arrangements with street car
companies whose lines now connect with
itslines, and to furnish such facilities there
for as the public convenience may require"
There can be no misconstruction of the
language requiring the reciprocal transfer,
but, as the Hon. Slippery Jim Richardson
engineered the measure through Cungress.
no penalty clause was attached, and there
fore the Metropolitan company can and
will refuse to obey it without fear of sue
cessful prevention. The basis of this as
sertion is the refusal of the company to
pay its debt TO the District by taking ad-
vantage of the statute of limitations, and
for the further reason that it has never
faithfully carried out an agreement, not
even with its employees, and nothing else
can be expected from such a concern
Our entire street car legislation needs
revising. The Board of Trade next Friday
evening Will take up the question of steam
railroads, the necessity for increased freight
and terminal facilities, and the matter
Of grade crossings, and it might also with
propriety discuss the reduction of street
car fares for the better accommodat ton Of
the public, provided, of course, there are
not too many stockholders of our street
car systems as prominent members of that
organization. But should the Board Of
Trade ignore this important reform it need
not deter the public from bringing it be-
ore the next Congress. ,...-I

Is QUAY FOR REED?

1t would be interesting to know II
Senator Quay really declared himself as
an advocate of Speaker Reed, to-be, for
the Republican candidate for the Presi-
dency. 1t is contrary to Quay's custom to
announce himself In this way. In playing
the great game of politics he rarely shows
his hand to his friends, and never to his
antagonists, until there is ''can" all
around the board.
II the Senator did make the statement
which has been SO widely circulated, it
means one of two things-eithcr that it
was q "fceler," or that he is convinced
Reed win be the strongest candidate for
the nomination, and that it is the shrewd
thing to put himself on record thus early
that his may seem to be the guiding
mind of the country and the convention.
Doubtless Quay recognizes the vast
advantage Reed will have over all rivals
in his occupancy of the chair of Speaker
Of the House Of Representatives. ALI

THE TIMES CIRCULATION.

Phenomenal Increase Leads Its Rival
to Resort to Underhand Methods.
Since The Times began publishing its
sworn circulation statements, cries OF
distress have from time to time been
heard from the camps Of its competitors
But, it was only when the strongest rival
was overtaken and distanced in the race
for popularity that underhand methods
which would not be tolerated In ordinary
business transactions, we're called into use.
The numerous merchants who have beea
approached, and who have kindly kept The
Times Informed, afford other advertisers
the best evidence of the strength of The
Times, and its value as an advertising
medium-a strength that cannot be shaken
% long as more than 1O0, 900 readers daily
say that The Times is their favorite paper.
The total number of copies of The Times
actually sold and distributed during the
past week was 22S, ,4s5, showing a gain
over the preceding week Of 1,O2S, and
&c, ,942 more than its nearest rival These
figures speak for themselves and are not
affected by slanderous tongues.
Circulation brings results, and merchants
who use The Times obtain the Results for
which they advertise.

NOW THEY ARE MARRIED.
Two Virginia Souls With But "a Singh

Two Virginia Souls With But Single
Thought Came Here Y eSterday.
The course of true love never did run
smoothly, but f. C.. Station, of POcahOn-
tas, Va, and Mamie /. Cooke, of Louisa
Court HOUSE, Va. got there Just the same.
They left their native heath without their
parents' blessing, reached Washingt TOD
yesterday, exchanged vows, kissed, and
left for LyncIburg last night at 10:43..
Theirs was an earnest love. They came
UP on the 1105 train from the South and
strolled down The platform locked hands
with each other. They walked as though
they did not exactly know whether they
had reached Washington yesterday or to-
day. There was an anxious, restless light
in the you ng mans eye, and ever and anon
a sort of sunset blush would sweep across
the visage OF the maid.
It was clear that they liked each other;
that they thought the world of each other;
that they had told each other so, and that
they didn't care il everybody caught on.
They drifted to the Harvey House. Miss
Mamie retired 10 the parior and Br. Station
sought a minister. 1t was Sunday and
rather hard to find a preacher who wasn't
busy, but after cunning for three hours Mr..
Station came across an object of his quest.
This was Rev. nr. Power.
The hotel parior was frightened up a and.
poet ically writing, the weddi ng bells
chimed forth. The patrons OF the hotel
and a number of ofimpromptu guests thronged
In, and the proper ceremonies were OBJ
served. Supper closed the festivities, rice
'rained, a nd the bridal train steamed South.
Mr.. Station is a prosperous merchant at
Pocahontas and the bride Is a daughter
to Thomas E. Cooke, of Louisa Court
House.

caS.DIAN ISDEpENDENCE.

Reinforcement of so called dependencies
to break away from the mother country,
to whose support they generally contribute
instead OF being dependent, is plainly
growing in force and spreading throughout
the world. The uprising in Cuba is the
basis of the movement, and the enthusiasm
with which that rebellion is commended
in the United States has spread the spirit
OF unrest and independence until no one
can predict where it will find its limit
Even Canada, which is as little inter
fered with by its dominant government as
any country in the world having similar
relations, is talking independence with
a big, big l. separatiOnist clubs are being
formed in many places in the Dominion,
and in the little city of Windsor an organ
ization of young men numbering more than
200 has declared for Independent govern
ment
Itis very probable that when the Canadian
people evince a general desire to split with
GREAT Britain there will be little objec-
ton on the part of the home government
but the movement at this time gives elo-
quent evidence OF the ber.ign influence of
Cuban patriotism, which is stirring the
fires Of freedom and making them blaze as
they have not blazed on earth for long
years.

onEER CONSERVATISM.

Latest Berlin news gives the extraor-
dinary Information that one of the leading
organs OF the Conservative party in Ger
many, the Reichsbote, is boldly advoeat-
ing the naturalization of all productive
industries which pay Individual or curpo-
rative investors a profit Of pore than a
certain percentage.
This Is stealing the thunder of the So
cialists with vengeance. The only diff
ference between the Reichsbote and such
men as Liebknecht, Bebel, and Singer. the
great Socialist leaders, is that the former
advocates limited and the latter unlimited
NATURALIZATION, which is a difference OF
measurement and not Of principle.
Lord Rosebery remarked few years ago
that. we are all socialists no V, 'but Rosebery
was some what Of Radical, while the Con
scrvative party of Germany has, through its
exponents, been even more cautious in ven
turing upon economical innovations than
the Conservatives of Great Britain
II is therefore, indeed startling and sig
nificant to witness the conversion to even
a limited form OF naturalization Of indus
tries of q leading organ Of the German
Conservatives.

liquefy helium, whose density is nearly
twice as great, without success THIS is
due, Prof. Ramsey thinks, to the molecular

A careful investigation Is TO be made
at once OF the collision at Ninth and
streets northwest that occurred between
the hose truck of engine company M. and
electric car No. 10, southbound.
Fortunately there were no fatalities,
Driver Dewitt Smith, OF the hose carriage,
being the only person hurt. His injuries are
lot of serious cha racter, consisting
principally of bruises received in being un-
seated by the shock OF the collision.
The hose carriage was proceeding to a
small fire on Z street, between Ninth and
Tenth streets northwest, and as the vehicle
passed along street the horses were going
at a sweeping gaIlop. The fireman In
charge OF the alarm bell on the carriage
was ringing it violently. Acting upon or
ders from Foreman John Smith, the driver
slackened the speed OF his horses both at
the Seventh and Ninth street Crossings.
Upon reaching the corner where the ac-
cidcnt occurred the electric train, Motor
man William Frank Berry 10 charge, was
seen rushing upon the hose carriage, with
its four occupants, Driver Dewitt Smith,
Foreman John Smith, and Pipemen Lee
Hunt and William Lanahan. The passen-
gers on the nipto : car gave yell and some

admirable nerve and GOODNESS and tried TO
swing his horses away from the train.

and DiracUlbiisiy, neither OF them were
seriously injured.
The heavy OAK tongue of the hose carriage
penetrated the trailer and was snapped
into three pieces though it had been
a pipe stem, SO great was the force of the

The heads and front feet of the horses
also penetrated the car, and as the ira in
