TELEGRAPH TOLLS.

Question to the Power to Fix
Them in a State.
Twenty-Five cents is a small sum to be
involved in case before the Supreme
Court of the United States, but where the
principle at stake is as great as that which
is at issue in case filed yesterday the
small sum is no longer taken into consider
alton. The question to be settled is wheth-
er the railroad commissioners of a state
have the power to fix telegraph tolls with
in the limits of the state. The case grew
out of a charge of 80 cents for a message
to be sent from Wilson, N. c., to Edenton,
n. c. The sender paid the 25 cents beyond
the regular charge under protest. The de-
fenSe Of the company is that in transmit
ting the telegram to Edenton it was neces-
sary to send it through Norfolk, Va, and
therefore outside of the state of North
Carolina, and also that as the Western
Union had no commercial office at Edenton
1t became necessary to transfer the mes
sage to another telegraph company at Nor
folk, and justified the double charge on the
ground that :he rate from Wilson to Nor
folk was % cents and from Norfolk to
Edenton the same price, making necessary
a total charge Of 80 cents, as collected by
the operator.
The railroad commission in its ruling held
the charge to be excessive and issued an
order requiring the company to refund the
25 cents extra charge and forbiddng a con-
tinuauce of the practice under similar cir
cumstances. The Western Union took the
case to the state supreme court, where the
decision was also adverse to it 1t comes

SIXTH MEETING HERE.
Annual Session Of the SOutheastern
Traffic AsaOcia tion.


Traffic AssOciat tinn.
The Southeastern Traffic Association met
in annual session at noon today at the
Shoreham. This is an association of fire
insurance companies transacting business
in Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Missis-
stppi and Louisiana. Its purpose is to
make rates and formulate rules for the
members and their local agents throughout
the territory mentioned. The annual meet
ing is the sixth consecutive coming to-
gether of the association in this city. An
adjournment will probably be taken TO-
morrow. The object of the meeting is to
discuss the business of the companies to
adopt measures for the betterment of the
business, the consideration of changes in
the rules and the election of officers, to
serve during the ensuing year. The pres
eDt officers of the association are Thomas

President Eglestcn in his annual address
this afternoon reviewed the work of the
year and called attention to the necessity
for a general revision of fire insurance tar
if rates on the ground that the classif1-
cation of southern towns was too high
standard for basic rates. which necessi-
tated concessions and reductions and ere
ated both friction and expense. He called
special attention to the nom observance
of the fifteen per cent commission rule at
New Orleans, to its disturbing effects, and
urged the meeting to take prompt steps
to put an end to this violation of the as
.sociations compact. He also brought 20
the attention OF the meeting the question
of defining the position of the association
in the matter of general competition with
Mutuals and Lloyds President Egleston's
retary Fleming, were referred to a special
committee of fifteen, which will report
recommendations on which the association
will act.

Secretary Gresham's Pension.

Inquiry at the pension office discloses
that fact that Secretary Gresham left his
pension of $50 a month unclaimed for lit
tie over three years. Under the rules, there
fore, the pension has lapsed, but by appli-
cation ard proof, showing that the disabil-
ity for which the pension was granted con-
tinued during that interval, the arrears will
be paid and the pension continued to the
widow. The amount due is about 81 100

erably and as consequence the leg was
much weakened, producing slight limp in

THE OUTLOOK IN CUBl
Conditions That Are Expected to Caus'
General Uprising.
Enormous War Expenses and Unpro-
tries the Leading Causes.

A semi-official statement has been re-
ceived here from the leaders of one of the
most influential elements in Cuba showing
that the war expenditures are becoming SO
enormous and the sugar and tobacco indus
tries so Improbable that they believe a
general uprising will result from the hard
times caused. The portion of the state
ment concerning the desperate conditions
prevailing is follows:
THE war expenses of 1SGS-7S were paid
by Cuba. Spain furnished 212,361 men, but
not single dollar.
Cuba was loaded with nearly SOC, ,O0O 600
debt, besides yearly budget of S5S,OOOOoO
in those ten years. Gen. Iovellar declared
in the Spanish cortes that the war expenses
had been $700.0OO,OOO. or an average of
s7O,OOO.OOO a year.
Sugar produced then with slave labor
was .sold at 6 7-S cents a pound. The to-
bacco industry was in such foUrishing
condition that the minister of the colonies,
Romero Robledo, called the buildings of
their factories palaces. Leaf tobacco was
sold 100 per cent above today's prices. Per
contra, sugar sells today at 1.S6 cents a
pound, or 80 per cent below cost of pro-
duction, and is pressed to its last ditch by
German beet sugar.
THE tobacco industry is ruined beyond
redemption by a tariff war. Leaf does not
pay the cost of labor at today's prices. The
production of Cuba this year will be: Sugar,
SO, ,OOO.O 900: tobacco, s12,OOO,OOO; fruits and
sundries, s5,0O0.oO0. Total, sl9000,0o0.
'Expense5 = Budget $26,5OO,00O; extra
octroi tax, $3,jUO,O00: imports, 5000, coo;
municipal budgets. s10,OOO.Oo0; extra war
expenses at least s19.O0O.OOO. Total, $94.-
100000. Deficit. $i5000,OOO.
"A S45,0O0,O00 deficit is the last straw on
the cameps back. the budget of 1S93-94
was closed with s6.000,00o deficit, and
sugar sold then at 2.625 cents a pound,
while this year it sells at 1.S6 cents a
pound

If the public convenience or economy of
expenditure were sufficiently subserved, our
private interests would have to give way
but we confidently submit that such is not
the case.
THE natural outlet for public use in De-
catur street would be an eastward extern
sion thereof to Florida avenue, which is,
however, not proposed upon the map sub
mitted.
"Twenty-third street is only laid out upon
the Commissioners plat for about three
blocks from Decatur street to Prospect
avenue. If extended materially north or
south thereof it would at either end run
into Rock Creek, and both ends would go
nowhere. Twenty-second street. on the
south to the Geological Park. If extended
northward its outlet would be upon Con-
necticut avenue extended, and its south
ern extension has already been made. And
yet the natural northerly extension of I'D
street is blocked off without cause at
Decatur street, the travel forced through
that street to 23d, which is then open only
for about three blocks, thus commencing no.
where and going nowhere. 1t would be
extremely difficult to perceive wherein
either public convenience or economical
construction would be promoted by this ir-
regular and Objectionable deviation of one
create such an irregular and roundabout
way, running into a complete cul-de-sac.
1t is not at all difficult to perceive that
such deviation will largely promote the
property interests of one of the District
Commissioners and his immediate friendly
owners.
"'They simply step 22d street as a natural
highway to the Geological Park, because
it would cut through their land; and shove
1t over upon us on 23d street. in an ir-
regular and inconvenient way, without out
let.
THE only suggestion made to u.s. upon
inquiry at the District office as to a :ea-
son for this extraordinary plating was
that the Washington and Georgetown Rail
road Company might want to build there.
This answer is:
list. If they do they will build only to
reach the Zoo and 22d street is their nat
ural and only outlet there.
''2d. That is too remote contingency to
warrant you in taking away our property.
Congress has granted no charter to any
railroad in this locality. Nonconstat it will
ever do so. The argument is purely Mi
cawber-like. The door-plate might become
useful, if we should have daughter, and
If she should marry O. man named Thomp-
son, and Thompson with "p' to it.
when this sectional map Is considered
by your honorable board we respectfully
ask to be heard in support of this protest"
The accompanying cut shows the local
ity where the disputed streets are situated
and the points mentioned in the letter of
Messrs. Britton and Parker. 1t will be
perceived that the extension of 22d street
would cut directly through Washington
Heights, which subdivision will not be
touched by the treatment of the streets as
proposed in the plan approved by the Com
rniSsionerS.

COZ FEE AND ROLLS
Prospective Police Court Breakfasts For
Prisoners
The Police Authorities and Those of
the Court Seem to Work ut
Cross Purposes.

The question of feeding the prisoners at
the Police Court each morning, in order to
prevent them suffering from hunger, as
heretofore published tn The Star, has been
settled, so far as Maj. Moore is concerned,
but there seems to BE some opposition to
the move This comes from Deputy Mar
shall Mccormick principally, and the jani-
tor also has an objection because of the
fact that he has been heretofore selling
sandwiches and coffee to the prisoners who
could afford to pay for them, and he thinks
he should have been given the contract.
Then, too it is stated that there may be
danger of escape of some of the prisoners.
There is no reason for apprehension on this
score, because the coffee and sandwiches
can be handed in by Ray and Ratclifre the
same as by the janitor. /
When the contract~Has given out 1t was
seen that the feeding. of the prisoners at
the court would prove saving of nearly
50 per cent on feeding them at the police
stations, and as the eating of Il sandwich
and the drinking of cup of coffee would
consume very little time, it was not seen
how the feeding would interfere with the
court business. Maj Moore suggested thas
one of the bailiffS superintenI the feeding
and collect the checks given to the pris-
Oners at the stations.
Judge KimbnIl Is Uncertain.
But Judge Kimball had some doubts
about the matter and today he addressed
Maj. Moore letter, stating that while the
results of the plan of feeding the prisoners
is one that commended itself to him, the
mode of carrying it out was in some re-
spects objectionable. Judge kimball said
it would be impossible with the small num-
ber of bailiffs, two to each court, to detail
one to oversee this distribution. Further,
in many cases, where the prisoners are
brought to the court just about the time
the court convenes, the feeding Of them
would interfere with the trial in court.
There were other objections which it was
not necessary to refer to now, he said. He
would suggest with regard to the tickets
that they ought to be of such a kind that
they cannot be easily counterfeited, SO that
their production by the caterer will be
proof of the service rendered. In conclu-
sion. Judge Kimball wrote: I'VE will try
the plan you have arranged it and see
how it works."
The checks have been printed, and to-
morrow morning the experiment will be
tried. The checks are blue cardboard, and
on them is printed:
Metropolitan Police Department Check.
Present at Police Court for coffee and roll.
Before leaving the stations in the MORN
ing each prisoner will be given a ticket,
and it is safe to predict that all of them
will he used.

WATER MAIN ASSESSMENTS.
Congress May BE Asked to Pass a Law
DeclnrinS Them Wild.

Congress May BE Asked to Pass Law
Declaring Them Valid.
AS predicted in The Star of January 81
last, the assessments made by the Commits
sioners for the laying of water mains are
invalid. This was judicially determined
yesterday. when the Court Of Appeals
handed down a decision in the Burgdorf
case, which involved questions affecting the
validity of these assessments The result
will be that the District may lose many
thousands of dollars.
For many years the assessments for work
done under the old board of public works
have been subjects of assault, and many of
them We're thrown out and declared void
because OF certain Irregularities. While 1t
was generally conceded that large ma
jority of this class of assessments We're in
valid, the Commissioners never dreamed
that the water main, assessments could be
assailed. To Gen. VIM. Birney is due the
credit of first bringing this important mat
ter to the attention of the Commissioners.
He repeatedly warned. them about the mat
ter and finally went into court with case
in point. He boldly made the point that
all water main assessnents levied since the
death of the last water register were in
valid. His reason wasothat the assessments
made since that time were made by the
Commissioners instead of the water regis
ter as the law of 1873 governing this mat
ter requires.
By the act of July 1, 1852, the water de-
partment was transferred to the engineer
department, and assessments since that
time have been levied by the Commission
ers. The Commissioners construed the law
which transferred the control OF the water
department to the engineer department
to nullify the act of 1873, above men
toned. In this it seems they have
made a serious blunder. The office Of water
register has never been abolished, although
the Commissioners had an opportunity
when the department was transferrsd to
legislate it out of existence.
The Commissioners have not yet received
a copy of the decision and will take no
action until they have carefully considered
it with the attorney for the District. 1t
may be definitely stated, however, that they
will authorize no refunds on the strength
of the decision. When Congress meets, it
is understood, bill will be presented max
ing all assessments valid The Commits
sioners see no reason why such a bill can
not be passed. The property owners have
received the benefits and should be willing
to pay for the same.
