SEVENTY PHONES ORDERED OFT.
Druggists Who Will Abandon ,ba
Hello system.

Mr. Robert n. Harper, president Of the
District of Columbia Pharmaceutical As
ISOLATION, talking with a Star reporter this
morning about the telephone situation said:
There Will be not less than seventy of
the drug store telephones in the city
groudad' Saturday,
Mr. Harper states positively that this
number have signed irouclad contract to
this effect, and that they will stand firm by
the agreement. He is OF the opinion that
the statement of the telephone people to
the effect that twenty druggists have
signed the new contract with the telephone
company is a mistake
There are about three stores in Washing
ton who have telephones in their back
rooms for individual USE" said Mr.. HARPER.
probably half dozen signed Il contract
three or four months ago for various rea-
sons, leaving about seventy men who Will
not only order out the phones, but VIII cut
the wires from the tops of their buildings
Mr. Harper was very much pleased over
the fact that the Pharmaceutical Associa-
ton is being aided so strongly by the phy-
sicians, and he states he is Informed on re-
able authority that all physicians who
have telephones in their offices Will order
them taken out at an early date. Speaking
of the loss to be incurred by the druggists
Mr.. Harper said:
The retail druggists have nothing to lose
by ordering their telephines out The doc
tors and the community are with us and
understand that We are fighting for a prin-
ciple. Druggists Will stand together in this
hght ana feel confident that they will win
out in the end
Or. IL. +. =. Thompson, representing the
committee Of prominent physicians of the
District formed to take steps to secure
lower telephone rates, attempted to havo
an interview with General Manager Bryan
of the Chesapeake and Potomac company
this morning. He was informed that Mr.
Bryan was at the Capitol on business CON
hected with the company, and it wis not
Known when he could be seen. Dir. Thomp-
son thereupon wrote a letter to the general
nanager, requesting him to name Il time
when the committee could wait upon him
II satisfactory reply to this Is not soon
received, DR.. Thompson stated. the physi-
clans viii proceed to have their plans car
ried OUT in regard to having the telephones
removed from their Offices.
The physicians are heartily In sympathy
with the druggists, and from present out
look. it would seem that nearly 1888 OF the
most prominent physicians in the city will
have the telephones removed unless their
demands are complied with.

The tide is very high and all lower sec

A schooner was blown aground off Lam

A violent hurricane prevailed along the
coast. The vessels of the flying squadron,
anchored off Old Point suffered no dam

anchor during the storm in the morning
and she, together with the Massachusetts
moved in closer to the shore to escape the
fury Of the mountainous waves. The small

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
Their Proposed Establishment ii
Connection With u War Loan.


There was some discussion yesterday IN
the Senate committee post offices and
post roads Of the bill introduced by Sena-
tor Chandler to provide for a popular
loan through postal savings banks, and the
suggestion was made that it might furnish
a more acceptable means of raising funds
for the war than the bond clause of tho
House revenue bill. The measure provides
for the issuance Of postal savings notes of
$50 and $780, payable to bearer and bearing
per cent interest. A subcommittee was
appointed for the consideration of the de-
tails of the bill. 1t was noticeable that all
the members Of the post office committee
present. including republicans as well as
members of other parties. expressed a de-
sire to avoid a bond issue if possible
The postal savings bill was also under
consideration. and the opinion was ex-
pressed that the committee would be able
to report upon this measure after one more
meeting.

Decatur and The Corsairs.

becatuf ANA the Corslirss
Our warship had been stranded
BY fierce Tripolitans;
She'd struck reef uncharted,
Where hot sirocco fans;
Brave Bainbridge had been taken,
With all his valiant crew,
And chained and sold in bondage,
Despite what men could do
He got word to our squadron
or his poor vessels plight;
The frigate Philadelphia
Was lost in desperate fight;
He urged his brother officers
To burn sink the ship.
And cause the cursed TripoiitanS
Their bloody flag to dip.
Then young Decatur offered
To drive the raScals red
In terror from our quarterback
Or litter it with dead;
And led boarding party
OF sailors straishtway forth
To show what Yankee tars could do
When rushing in wroth.
In two small craft lie sought them
With fighters of our feet,
And fiercely drove them overheard
On cut them to his feet:
He drowned the wretcLes In the sea,
And killed them many score,
And burned the Philadelphia's hull
A pirates prize no more.
All honor 70 our hero
Who beat the corsuirs down,
And in the war of eighteen-twelve
Achieved a glorious crown!
So shall our gallant navy
Destroy in battle later
The buccaneers Of treacherous Spain,
And rival brave Decatur.

NO CHANCE
FOR WHITE
COMPANIES.
The Seven New Ones
Must all be Of Me-
groes.
There May be AnOth-
er Call for Troops
July II.

Loge Harris who was sent 10
Washington, by Governor Rus-
sell to see the Secretary of War,
says that the latter announces
that the seven companies under
the second call are to be added
to the negro battalion at Fort
Macon, and thus it makes it a
10 conn pany regiment. AS cer-
tain of these are idle the regl>
ment will be sent to Tampa.
Harris says it IS the belief at
Washington that there will be a
third call for volunteers by July
II.
Adiutant General Cowles ex-
presses great disappolntmc..t
that the seven new companies
are not to be white. He insists
that the Governor desired them
to be white, but leading Repub'
licans say the Governor realized
that lie is under pledge to have
negro regiment, and hence
wanted it filled out. Harris says
Adiutant General Corbin says
the First and Second regiment:
must be recruited to 1850 each
that this rule is rigid.
