APPLICATION REJECTED.
Project for n Cab Service DisapprOv-
cd by Attorney Thomas.

The attorney for the District has decided,
in an opinion rendered today, that no au-
thority exists in the Commissioners to set
aside a space for the exclusive use Of a
corpora ton. This opinion was called forth
by the application of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company for permission to locate
cab service at its depot in this city.
In a letter to the Commissioners asking
the privilege, the railroad company calls
attention to the fact that for several years
such a service has been maintained at
Philadelphia, and a similar inaugu-
rated in New York. Its desirability. the
company says, has been especially empha-
sized by the fact that the public convey
ances for passengers arriving by it's trains
are usually of a very Indifferent ard I'M
satisfactory character. The idea con tenn
plated the organization of q service at
regular city rates, which would be first
class in every particular
The Commissioners were at once thor
ouehly In sympathy with the suggestion.
Such plan ii carried out would reflect
credit upon the city, and pat q RESPONSE
bilf'y upon such conveyances which have
beer so much needed IN the past. By the
organization of such 4 system there would
be no fear of malicious Jehus offending or
imposing upon strangers, and the service
would always be neat and satisfactory.
While the opinion Of the attorney makes
1t impossible for the Commissioners to per-
nit the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
10 establish an exclusive stand adjacent
to Its depot, they are in hopes upon the
completion of the new depot, which. ac
cording to all reports, must come in the
hear future they will be able to give the
company the right to maintain a stand in
side the depot proper. and then abolish the
existing stand, making provision, of
course, for the hotel buses.

THE GOLD FEVER.
WashingtOnfans Preparing to Invade
the klOndyke Field.

Washington has become strongly affected
with the Klondyke gold fever, and a num-
Der of expeditions are being set on foot
with the object of going there and mining
the yellow metal. Several persons have
left the city for the gold fields. syndi
cate now being formed will capitalize one
of the proposed expeditions. One of the
promoters of the scheme is DR.. James H.
Hepburn, who has spent some time in
Alaska and has roughed it in all parts of
the territory. He states that there are
four in the party which proposes to visit
the klondyke. The idea of the syndicate
ne said, is to possess capital which will
give some latitude in operations $4,000 or
ATol, which, with the amount of their
personal capital, would give enough to in
sure success.
Another party formulating arrangements
for investments in the Eldorado is also un-
der the leadership of a physician.
Many inquiries are being received at the
geoioglcai survey and coast and geodetic
survey for maps. and pamphlets containing
Information of the gold fields. Reference
books are recommended as follows:
Alaska and Its Resources" by William II
Dali; Shares and Alps of Alaska by II.
w. Seton Kari; Guide to the Yukon Gold
Fields by V. Wilson. CThis last is in
pamphlet form, and contains photographs
OF the Chilcoot Pass and of points on the
Yukon river, principally of the terrible
White Horse rapids.) Papers and Core
spondence relating to Russian America"
a government publication; Report of Mill
tary Reconnaissance in Alaska Made in
1884, by Lieut.. Schwatka: "Reconnois-
sance in Alaska 1883, by Allen: 'Popula-
ton and Resources of Alaska, 1850 by
Petroff Report of the Population, In

by Petroff; reports of the governors of
Alaska for 1ss4-'s5-'s6; Facts About
Alaska" by Sheldon. and History of
Alaska, 1730-1Ss5,'' by Bancroft.
A document prepared by the geological
survey of the exploration of Alaska
son of 1896. contains much valuable in
formation, and a map from personal sur
vey.
There are indications that a field of
operations nearer than the klondyke will
soon attract attention. The Associated
Press recently reported that ore running
$4,000 to the ton had been discovered in
the Mollie Hibson mine, under the bed of
the Roaring Fork river, at Aspen, Col
orado. Judging from the name of the
mine, it was popularity supposed the ore
referred to of silver, but Gen. S. S.
Yoder of this city says he has private adj
vices that it was gold of the purest quality.
