In a
Cantcr!

In its most ambitious moments
THE TIMES did not a year ago
think it would in so short a ti-ae
conquer it's contemporaries in the
race for circulation.
To equal them, to secure to it
self an equal number of readers,
would have been glory enough
for one year. But, when it looks
away back in the distance and
sees its principal rival sans ambi-
ton, sans enterprise, but with
Just enough breath l eft In its
wasted, weary and wishy-washy
body to repeat, over and over,
"Pve got the biggest; I've got the
biggestl" then only does the CO.
lossal degree of its conquest
dawn upon THE TIMES.
The circulation of THE TIMES
during the past week, a sworn
statement of which is appended,
shows another gratifying gain.
Advertisers who use its columns
reach from ten thousand TO
fifteen thousand mere readers
daily than possible through any
other daily paper published in

MAY NOT BUILD THE MARKET
Senator Vest Favorsa Hall of Rec
ords on the Reservation.
Considering the ACCESSIBILITY of Of
ferinx an Amendment to the Dis
trict Appropriation Bill.

A Hall of Records, instead OF a Wholesale
market, is the latest proposition for the
improvement and use OF the square at Tenth
and Little streets north west, recovered
by the municipal government eighteen
months ago from the Washington Market
Company.
1t is being pushed by Senator Vest. who
may offer an amendment to the District
appropriation bill for the purpose. He has
had silch IN amendment under reconsideration.
The purpose TO establish wholesale
market, which the Commissioners attempt
ed 10 execute last fail, and which was SO
vigorously fought by the washin gton
Market Company, has apparently been de-
fcated in Congress. There was meeting
Yesterday afternoon OF the subcommittee
having the subject in charge, at which were
present Senators Martin, Proctor and Gal
lngcr of the subcommittee and Senator
Vest. No definite conclusion was ar
rived at. '"
The opposition by the Washington Mar
ket ComUuny aud by farmers dealing he re

too much occupied with mere important
matters to give the matter much attention.
Before the bin 10 establish farmers mar
kct can be reported or any definite action
taken with relation TO using the reserya-
ton as a market, a hearing must be given
to the Market Company, the farmers aud

It may be Mr.. Vests proposition VIII
be favoraby considered at once. The hall
OF records is sa Id to be much needed.

EfficIency of Clerks.

The Secretary of the Treasury has made
a report in response TO the House resolu-
tion inquiring as to the efficiency OF his EN-
ployes.
The Secretary states that twenty-five
clerks in the Treasury Depar tment are be-
low n fair standard of efficiency. These are
classified as follows: Six clerks at 81 100
per year: three at 81 200; four at 1000;
five at $500, and four at $50.
In twenty instances the reason for in
efficiency is ascribed to old age. ill-health
and wounds received during the civil war.
One clerk at 81 900 is Inefficient by reason
of deficient education. and one clerk at
