Herman McrIvale has made of Sardou's

OF the letter, 1.-The plates in the magazine

After three hours hard work the flames

THE SUBWAY BILL.
Mr.. CockrelI's Resolution VIII Be
Reported TO Senate.

Reported to Senate.
1t was stated on good authority last night
chat the subcommittee OF the Senate, which,
on Thursday. heard arguments on the
subway bill and also the reply OF the Com
Inissioners Ia the Gallingcr and Cockrell
resolutions, had agreed yesterday to re-
port tie COCkrell resolution to the Senate
on Monday. The two resolutions have
practically the same object in view, Sen
ator GalIinger having accepted that of
Senator COckrcll for that reason.
Having heard what the Commissioners
had TO say as to these, the committee
merely took up the consideration of the
subway bill, which is pending, without
aosion on the Gallinger and Cockrell
resolutions. but it is understood that
these were considered on Thursday in ex'
ecutive session and again yesterday, with
the result above noted. that the Cockrell
resolution would be reported to the Senate
on Monday.
1t was also stated yesterday that the
subcommittee had gathered some expert
testimony as TO the methods OF conStruc-
tion of conduits and ducts by the Potomac
Company.
A good deal was said as totheSc methods
during the hearing on Thursday. Col
Britton, for the United States Company,
and Mr.. Crosby, OF the Potomac Company
disagreed as TO the quality OF the work,
and hence the taking of expert Testimony
10y the subcommittee. What the general
effect Of the testimony taken is, was not
statel.
The reporting Of the CockrcH resolution
heretofore published in The Times, TO the

METROPOLITAN MAY ENJOIN.
Conditions Of Injunction Against
Potomac Electric Company.

Potomac Electric company.
TIE Metropolitan Railroad Company, at
least some OF its officers, has taken UNI
bra - al the manner IN which the Potomac
Electric Light Company constructed its
tunnel at Seventeenth and | north west,
under the tracks of the railway company.
1t was stated last night by one of the
mana cement Of the Metropolitan company
that the work OF constructing the tunnel
was commenced at 10 O'Clock at night on
Thursday; that the work was prosecuted
without lanterns, and that The men labored
all night to execute the job.
'.This.'' said the Metropolitan man last
night. was entirely unnecessary, as the
Potomac Company knows that the Metro
polltan Railway is not Interested at all in
its proceedings except in that it shall not
| do any iniurytD our company. II there has
been or is likely to be any injury from
this work or any other work to be done
by the Potomac Company, as a matter of
| business precaution it will be promptly
| investigated and such action taken as the
| clrCumst anceS warrant"
Itwas reported yesterday that the Metro
politan Railway contemplated issuing an
injunction against the Potomac Company
| by reason Of this tunnel and on other
| grounds.
| Major Harries, president of the Metro
| poltan Company, was called on last night
and asked what there was i'll the report.
| lie said that no statement had been made
| by any officer Of the company, to his
| kuowl edge, which would warrant the
conclusion that injunction proceedings We're
| to issue.
You can say, however" that the Met
| ropcltan Railway will care for its own
| and protect its rights regardless of who
| is the assailant. 1t is perfectly justifi-
| able to state that if the Potomac company,
| or any other, does anything calculated to
| injure our property in its construction or
| operation, they will have to deal with all
the legal machinery we can put in opera
| ton"
| President Harrics was asked specifically
as to the printed report that the construc-
| tion OF the tunnel under his tracks was
| such Il cause as would warrant the reported
| injunction proceedings.
That he said. will depend on the
nature of the work under our tracks. Imay
| say, however, that prompt action will be
taken by the company If the work there
| is OF a piece with that described by an
| expert 30 a member OF the subcommittee,
| which has this whole matter in charge"

BEGGING FOR THEIR RIGHTS
An Indians Prophetic Words Re-
parding His People.


Ardmore, |. T., Jan. SIN his message
delivered to the legislature i'll session at
Tishomingo yesterday, Gov. Harris said
"You are called to determine what is
best to be done in the matter Of common
defense and protection of our national
and property rights and the maintenance
or surrender OF our tribal autonomy and
present conditions, /, for one, greatly fear
ing that our present Conditions must soon
cease.
The Dawes Choctaw treaty does not
suit. Such an agreement is not the best
for our people, and unless prompt action
be taken that treaty may he ratified and
the same be made applicable TO us. We
have two courses to pursue-treat with
Dawes do nothing and take the conse-
quences.'
The governor then adds: AS an Indian,
l much prefer to remain as we are, yet
my better Judgment teaches me that this
is impossible. We are the weak in the
hands of the strong, and while we should
Command, we are only begging for our
government, our property rights, our lands
and, on, God! our Nations homes.''
