NO NEED FOR TIE LAW.
Commissioners Report Adversely on
the Car Fender Bill.

The Commissioners OF the District yes
terday returned TO Congress with an ad-
verse recomme nd alton House bill, No.
9462, introduced June IL, 1896, by Mr..
Richardson, the object OF which was to
require the use of safety tenders on cars
operated by cable or electric power within
the District.
The provisions OF the bill make it i'm
perative upon all rapid transit street car
companies, which may now or hereafter
operate in the District, TO prepare its
tracks and roadbeds in such manner as
may be necessary to facilitate the use
OF safety tenders, and to equip their
cars with the best attainable tenders for
the protection and preser walton of life
and limb.
II is provided in the bill that If any of
the companies shall neglect for six months,
after due notice, TO prepare their tracks
and road bed and equip as directed, such
company shall pay a fine of So per day
for each car operated, the fines to be col
lectiOie by ordinary process through the
police court.
In their comment upon the measure, the
Commissioners recite that 1.-THE District
appropriation law for the fiscal year
1885, contains the proylso empowering
the Commissioners to ''enforce all rea.
sonable regulations in respect to requir-
ing street cars, operating by other than
horse power, to be provided with proper
fenders.''
The Commissioners were also, by the
same law, authorized to adopt such fender
or tenders as in their judgment will
best serve the purpose, with the proviso
that nothing in the act shall be construed
TO relieve any street railway company from
accidents on its lines.
After reciting the orders passed by the
board pursuant to the legislation noted,
the Commissioners say that in view OF
the present conditions, the law having
been complied with, they are of the opinion
that no further legislation upon the sub
Ject is needed.

CIVLIZING THE IN DIAN.
Mr.. Frank r. Gushing Thinks This Is
Not an Impossible Task.

B''T@'e'@N
The Washington Auxiliary of the Wo-
mems National Indian Association, or
ganiZed by the first wife of Senator Haw-
ley, and carrying a present membership
of fifty, met yesterday forenoon, at 1
O'clock in one OF the parlors of the Riggs
House.
Miss Sarah White, a daughter of the
cashier of the House OF Representatives,
opened the session with piano number
from Chopin, which was followed by
twenty minutes talk by Miss Cook, of tue
Indian Bureau, concerning the Indian and
his affairs, legislative, social, and domes-
tic.
Mr.. Frank r. Cushing, of the Bureau OF
Ethnology, followed Miss Cook with an
impromptu address. Among other things
Mr.. Cushing said that what has impressed
him most is the fact that the Indian is the
most spiritual-minded being in tue world.
Mr.. Cushing likened the Indian to the
wild flower that, by careful cultivation,
can become flow wer of fra grant and beauti-
full growth. His peculiar Interpretation Of
things which he cannot see makes him in
tensely emotional and religious in his tenn
permanent, but the speaker has yet to see
one person who has lived among the tribes
who has not been impressed with the fact
that the Indian is like everybody else in
the world, possessing the same longings
and passions and ambitions that will make
him as good as any other civilized human
being if only the civilization Is brought
about IN the proper way.
Mrs. Gen. Bracket president OF the asso-
citation, presided at the meeting, the other
officers present being Mrs. T. II. Alexan-
der, Mrs. Cummings and Mrs. Rosa Wright
Smith.

Brooks at Leadyiile Has q
Salutary Effect.
Fifteen Of the Alleged Leaders
Of Rioters Are Under

Reported That an Attempt Will
Be Made to Burn the
Town.

LEADvILLE, Colo, Sept. 24.-Thirty
warrants have been issued by the dis
trict court for officers and members Of
the executive committee of the Miners

Edward Boyce of Idaho, president of
the Western Federation Miners, has
also been placed in Jail by the city
marshal, the sheriff stating that he was
there for safe keeping,n no charge having
been made against him as yet. ,
Military Rule Practically Supreme. .
The proclamation of military law has
been suspended for the time being, but
except that the civil officers are for the
time being allowed to exercise their
constitutional prerogatives, provided
they do not interfere with General
Brooks movements, military rule is
supreme in Leadville. The soldiers
will make arrests, disarm all but officers
of the law, hold prisoners subject to the
commanding officer, and search houses
without other warrant than the order
of General Brooks.
The military court of inquiry. to in.
quire into the circumstances Of the de-

loss of life incident thereto, has con-
vened, and will endeavor to establish
the identity Of the men engaged in the
riot for the benefit of the civil author
tiles. Its sessions will be secret.
The Charge Against Dewar.
The charge against Edward Boyce,
president of the Western Federation of
Miners, is ''inciting riot" and is based
on a speech he made here to the miners
a couple of weeks ago.
Secretary Dewar and the other officers
of the union, who are in custody, de-
clared that the outbreak of violence
Monday morning was contrary to the
| policy of the union and is greatly de-
| plored by them.
The arrests have caused CONSERVATION
among the strikers, and it is believed
have greatly weakened their cause.

PRIVILEGED PUBLICATIONS.

The Wisconsin supreme Courts Decision
RegaI ding the Matter.
MADISON, Wis, Sept. 25.-The libel
cas- of Buckstaf VS.. Hicks, who is the
publisher of the Oshkosh Northwestern,
decided by the supreme court, is attract
ing widespread attention among news
paper publishers. The decision was
somewhat unexpected and has created
CONSERVATION among the newspaper
fraternity of Wisconsin. According to
the rulings of the court no paper can
report a serious charge made in q pub
lie speech without laying itself liable to
suit for libel. That the matter is print
ed as a matter of news is no defense,
the court holds.
The alleged libel consisted of the pub
lication Of a speech made in a meeting
of the Oshkosh city council, and the
court holds that the publication was
not privileged except to the citizens of
Oshkosh, who might have an interest
in the matter.
