QUEENS BIRTHDAY.
Reception at the Home of the British
Commissioners.

The reception at the British Consul
late in Palama yesterday afternoon
was most fitting celebration of
Queen Nictoria's seventy-eighth birth
day. 1t was pleasure for all LOYAL
Britons to break away from the daily
routine of work and pay a tribute of
honor to lady who for sixty years
has ruled over England and has com
manded the respect of all nations of
the globe.
The decorations at the Consulate
were elaborate and attractive. 4
large British flag was draped over the
entrance of the veranda. Large palms
and potted plants were set about here
and there on the veranda and in the
house. Out on the lawn were stretch
ed from tree to tree flags of other ma
tionalities. Refreshments were serv-
Ell on the lawn. The Government
band. stationed in one corner of the
lawn. gave a delightful concert during
the reception.
Capt. y. &. S. Halves, the British
Commissioner, received his guests on
the open veranda. He was assisted in
this by Mrs. Thomas Rain Walker.
wife of the Vice British Consul, and
Miss Elise Gay of Kauai. President
Dole, Minister Cooper, Attorney Gen1
eral Smith and members of the Diplo-
matte and Consular Corps, were among
the guests.

CAPITAL TRACTION ROAD.
Petition of Citizens I'm Respect to Ii,
Extension,

Messrs. j. w. Parish. J. W. Hodges and
NJ. L. Weller, representing the East Wash
1ngton Citizens Association, called upon
the Commissioners this morning for the
purpose of requesting them to recommend
an addition to Senate bill 2547 providing
for the extension of the Capital Traction
road. The addition asked for is as follows:
Also beginning at the main tracks at
the intersection of Pennsylvania avenue
and Sth street southeast and thence east
crly along said Pennsylvania avenue with
double tracks TO the circle at the west
ern approach of the Pennsylvania bridge,
and said extension shall be comolet ed
within the period of one year from the
passage of this bill"
In support of their request the COM
mittee filed written statement, showing,
among other things, that the proposed
extension would accommodate the S2.oNi
people who reside in that section of the
city and county. The delegation was in
formed that the Commissioners are in
favor of the extension, and, at the re-
quest of the committee. will either prepare
new bill providing for such extension
or will provide for it in the shape of an
amendment to Senate bill 2541, the Com
missioners explaining that they would pre-
fer to favorably report on such new bill
or amendment rather than to suggest an
amendment to the present Senate bill

zERTuCHA APPOINTED MAYOR.
Physician Who Betrayed Gen. Mace.
Now Executive of BejucaL.

Physician who Betrayed Gen. Maceo
Now Executive Of BejucaL
A recent dispatch from Havana says: DR..
Zertucha who was the physician of the
late General Antonio Maceo, has been ap-
pointed mayor of Bejucal, this province.
Zertucha has belonged in his day to all
the political parties in Cuba. At one time
he was bandit In the Vuelta Abajo. and
his record was very discreditable. 1t was
quite inexplicable to the friends of Genera.
Maceo that he kept the physician on his
staff for so long a period. notwithstanding
the warnings given him. Maceo used to
say that Zertucha's fault was his drinking
habit.
At the time the famous Cuban COM
mander was killed, Zertucha was charged
with leading him and his party into the
fatal ambush. but he issued a long stale
ment, in which he tried to show that
Maceo met his death in battle in the usual
way. Zertucha also bitterly assailed the
honor of the other Cuban leaders. After
the killing Of Maceo the dishonored ply
stefan was allowed to go free by the Span
iards, and 1t was said and generally be
lieved that his pockets were well iiaed
with Spanish gold.

FteCelpt Mover
Comm Ut icatiOn.
A Mr.. Lewis. colored man. has adj
dressed the District Commissioners to the
effect that in 1895 he had a vision in which
he saw the election of William Mckinley
as President Of the United States. Mr. Lewis,
in mentioning the circumstances, Incidental
ly wrote that he would not be averse to &C
cepting a position as inspector of scales.
OF course. Mr.. Lewis was not aware that
for some reason or other the trainers of the
District government had neglected to make
provision for the position of inspector OF
scales, nor was he aware probably that IL
offices should be bestowed on all those who
toresaw the election of the Ohio man as
President, Congress would have to get to-
gether and make several new berths to ac-
commodate them. But a man cannot see
everything, or Mr.. Lewis would have seen
that the Commissioners would refer his
communication to Sanitary Officer Frank
who has almost exclusive jurisdiction of
those people who are in the habi of ''seeiri'
things" Yet. that is just what the Com
misSioners have done with Mr.. Lewis COM
munication.

In the annual report Of Commissioner
Evans of the Pension office the publication
Of a complete list of those who draw pen
sions from the government was recon-
mended. 1t is the purpose Of Commission
er Evans to introduce a bill in Congress
after the holidays authorizing this. The
commissioner believes much good would
accrue from the publication OF such q list
and many mistakes avoided. Such a list
was published in 1888. but has become
practically useless because of additions and

TO SAVE TEN MILLIONS.
Aim of Mr.. I,-d's Post ONCE
Bill.

AIM Oh Mr. "O'9 Post ONCE
Bill.
Chairman Loud of the House committee
on post offices has been working during the
recess on the report of the committee on
the Loud bill. and has practically complet-
ed 1t. He believes that the measure will
effect saving of at least $1O.OOO,OOO an
nually. and will wipe out the enormous de-
fcit that confronts the Post Office Depart
ment every year. Mr.. Loud believes that
the bill is much stronger this session than
last. and while not absolutely confident, be-
lieves it will finally carry. The opposition
probably will be directed in the main to
obstructive tactics, delaying considera ton
of the measure. This is what killed it in the
Senate at the last session. 1t having passed
the House. but died on the Senate calen-
dar. The report will be submitted to the
