lures Of the District.
Urgent Seed for Remedying Defects

Conducting Tax sales.

The annual report or the auditor OF the

the Commissioners yesterday. His summary
OF the revenues Of the District for the year
ended June so, 1897, gives a total Of
S4,ls2, ,236 To this the United States con
tributed s. ,O43, ,223.49, making total Of

Mr.. Petty makes extended comment III

contractors Of the late board OF public
works. lie prints, as an appendix. the full
decision OF the Supreme Court in the cases
Of George Z. Johnson, administrators of
Peter Mcnamara and others, carried up on
appeal from the court of claims. rendered
February Il, 1897. In this decision Mi.
Petty'S contention i'll his last annual report
is upheld. lie says that the act OF February
Il, 1895, relating TO these board Of public
works contracts, Is entirely too liberal.
He also comments at length on the North
eTn Liberty Market claims.
He recommends The abatement Of pen
alties upon overdue taxes, saying that
frequently their imposition is d hardship.
OF the tax sales he says:
Il know Of no matter more important
and far-reaching in its relations tu the
District revenues than the proper regula.
tion u tax sales. Many thousands OF collars
are now annualylost TO the government in

and the effort to secure it's prompt ap
proval by Congress should enlist every
energy Of the Commissioners
He recommends the passage Of a bill
already introduced, creating the office
OF collector OF fines in the police court
There is "A strong recommendation that
some other provision for the police and
riremen's pension funds be made, than
simply the fines collected IN the police
court. These, Mr.. Petty saws, are IN
adequate He also asks that the SI7 900
deficiencies IN the payments TO police
pensioners from June. 1894, TO May 81,
1890, be appropriated for as "a debt or
honor"

THE FRENsDoRFF GIRLS.
Case ydI Be Reirvestigated if Bond
Is Given.

Is Given.
There has been great deal OF misstate-
rnent in the New York paperS il relation
TO the action OF the Treasury Departments
IN the case Of the two German girls, th5
FfensdOrffs, under sentence OF deportation
from New York It has been stated among
other things that the order Of deportation
has been indefinitely stayed on a telegram
from New York.
The facts are that a letter was sent to
New York Friday night conveying the in
structiOns Of the Treasury Department.
Friday NCIns citizens or New York called
on Secretary Gage in behalf OF these girls.
One OF them, Mr. BDZowoki, spoke FOR the
prisoners. II had neen represented to the
department that the girls were likely to
beeOhe further charge, as their uncle, AIr.
de Gaugh, would give them no assistance If
they did lot return to their father in
Germany. Since then Mir. Moritz Schw ahe,
OF ST. Louis, a cousin OF the girls, had sent
information to them in effect that h., de-
sired them 70 stay and that they would be
taken care OF by a Mr.. Ivan Nathan, of
New York.
NotN outstanding these representations
the sentence Of deportation was passed. and
the New York citizens came over to sea
the Secretary or the Treasury.
The Secretary has sent instructions that
the case be re-inveStigated IL a sufficient
moral aid financial bond be given. II the
result is not satisfactory TO the girls they
are TO appeal 10 the commissioner Of ifnmi-
grafton, the FINAL adjudication 70 De made
bythe Secretary of the Treasury.
One Of the New York papers says that
Mr.. Otto Wise, lawyer, was To come TO
Washington, and that he would have The
girls released by next Monday. This does
not appear To be based on the law in the
case, as laid down by the Secretary Of the
Treasury.

Most OF the clients of the United States

appliances on hand the company will be
ready for business at the old stand, and
every light and motor dependent on the
company will be ia operation tonight.
There has been no cessation in the work
of repair since the fire. Every available
man on the pay roll and many outside cleo
tricians have been at work, with very little
sleep, since early Friday morning. Many
OF the men have not closed their eyes in
sleep. The company has kept them sup
piled with hot coffee and edibles so as to
minimize the time required for eating.
Some of the officers OF the company
have been on the ground without rest
since the fire was announced and will
remain there until the last stroke of repa ir
work has been finished. 1t was sa id late
last night that there is no doubt that
the full plant viii be in operation this
